"Serena what is going on!?", Dante asked with a panick filled tone to which Serena kept quiet once again.
Even though he was panicking at the moment, Dante could not help but have a flood of thoughts rushing through his brain. One of these thoughts was why did Serena keep something like this away from him? In order for his plan to fully succeed he told her to give him details about what they could encounter out there. Whatever was out there now was something that she had not told him about, now they were about to suffer the consequences.
"Please tell me! It's the only way we will survive!"
"Trust me Dante, you don't want to know", Serena finally responded only for Dante to be put on edge by her answer.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three loud banging sounds emerged from outside the ice dome before what seemed like a brutal tackle hit the dome hard. This hit had caused the environment inside the dome to shake causing Serena and Dante to fall down on their butts. From what he had just seen, Dante believed that the ice dome would be unable to withstand two more hits from whatever was assaulting it from the outside.
"If you won't tell me what that thing is, at least tell me how we are going to get out of here", Dante said still trying his best not to panic.
"I thought you had a plan?", Serena spoke with a cocky grin on her face which shocked Dante.
Though on a closer look, he realized that she was just as scared as he was, however he still felt awkward about the whole situation. She was currently trying to put up a tough front, though deep inside she felt that they were toast.
Bang!
The second hit caused the dome walls to crack revealing to Dante that it would be shattering on the next impact. He felt the air he was breathing get heavier as he tried to think of some sort of plan to escape. The fact that Serena was staring at him did not make things any better.
"Give me the Density gauntlet and Quick ring quickly!", Dante finally spoke.
Serena wasted no time doing this as it was clear that their lives depended on it. On equipping both items, he dashed to the wall opposite of the monster at high speed, punching it with the Density gauntlet creating an opening for them to slip through. He then proceeded to carry Serena off her feet just like a princess before sprinting at high speed.
At the current moment, the combination of the Quick ring and the Speed marker which still possessed the High Fracture's speed made Dante faster than he had ever been. He was moving so fast that he had covered the distance of three skyscrapers together within a few seconds. Dante's plan was to out run whatever was after them and at the moment he felt like it would work.
"Dante! It's gaining on us!", Serena said causing him to look backwards.
The scene from behind was something he could not believe. He could not see what was chasing him, however he could see a huge cloud of dark blue mist following them. This mist was clearly different from the mist that covered the Earth as it was impossible to see through it.
"Damn it!", He exclaimed before focusing on the path in front of him.
From what he had seen not too long ago, this creature was faster than him even with his current speed. Dante believed that whatever was behind this cloud was really large as it seemed to tumble buildings over as it passed by.
'How do I stop this thing?', Dante thought as he looked around his surroundings. Just then an idea had come to him and he really hoped it worked out.
"Serena hold on!", Dante said as he prepared to carry out his newly formulated plan.
From his time with the Speed marker, Dante had realized that it strengthed not only the bones and muscles but also tendons and ligaments to keep up with whatever speed levels he may obtain. It was because of this that he was now able to perform super human feats. What kind of super human feats you may ask? This was feats like jumping to far distances and even jumping several meters high.
Dante immediately ran past a skyscraper before moving around it and jumping high to punch it with his Density gauntlet causing it to fall over. He had hit it in the direction of what was currently chasing after them. Dante did not expect this to stop the thing in anyway but he believed it would at least buy him the time he needed to hide.
The skyscraper collapsed right in front of the cloud of mist approaching them, giving them some sort of cover. The creature chasing them simply crashed into the building afterwards obliterating it immediately. After this the cloud of mist continued to follow the path it had seen Dante and Serena following previously.
"Is it gone?", Serena spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, for now", Dante answered as he saw the cloud of mist vanish.
While he was running from the monster chasing them, Dante realized he had regained two Nano Lites. This made him come up with an idea to seal him and Serena deep in the ground. Luckily for him, he could create a hole in the ground with his Density gauntlet and cover it up by creating a cover similar to the road around them. Now that he was sure of the monster's absence, Dante broke his creation with his gauntlet.
"Now what?", Dante asked.
"Now we head to the tower", Serena responded as she stared at the huge structure a long distance from their current position.
Dante on hearing this handed his Quick ring over to her before they began to move. They both ran towards the location of this tower as quickly as they could. Due to their speed they were now able to reach the tower faster than an ordinary human being could ever do. The fact that all the Fractures in the area had been taken care of made sure that they were not interrupted either as they moved.
