Chapter 12 - Crisis #1

"I never thought that I would see the day where you would be free again after her Highness sealed you inside that sword."

"Sealed me? Come on, I could break free whenever I wanted. I just wanted to take a break."

"You wanted to take a break or you were afraid of not being killed by her Highness?"

"What's your point here Apostle? Why do you talk to me instead of attacking me? Is there some sort of problem? Or you perhaps want to buy some time?"

"Tch."

"Hey you, boy what's the year?"

"No, don't tell her." Alpha yelled.

"It's 2058. Why is there something wrong?" Yashito asked.

"Ho? 2058? So I'm in the future. That means that that bitch is finally dead. Finally I'll leave my life." Aeryn said.

"Not in my watch."

"Ha, do you think you can stop me? Haha, don't make jokes like that kiddo." Aeryn said and started walking in the opposite direction.

"Oh, the exit is from the other way, my bad." She said and changed direction.

"I didn't allow you to leave." Alpha said and made a sword of light.

"Look, I know that you're an Apostle but I don't wanna harm people just yet. So get the fuck out of my way."

"You're not in the mood to kill people? Hah, what a joke, if you don't want to kill then why were you ready to murder Naomi?"

"She attacked me first."

"What are you talking about? You were the first." Naomi said, coughing.

"Shush, who allowed you to talk?" Aeryn replied.

"I don't care who started it, you Dawn can't get out of here."

"And who's gonna stop me?" Aeryn said and walked past Alpha.

But she immediately attacked Aeryn with the sword she was holding. But Aeryn avoided it with ease by making a backflip and landing three metres away from Alpha.

"Aah, I didn't want to kill someone today but I guess I'll make an exception for you." Aeryn said and charged towards Alpha.

She barely blocked her attack as she hadn't regained all her strength just yet, but she didn't have any other option right now. Or she would allow Dawn to get out and probably she would exterminate a whole planet with her or she would fight her here just to buy some time till reinforcements will arrive.

Under normal circumstances she could win against Dawn with her current strength as Aeryn isn't at the cultivation peak yet but she was also affected by the seals that were on Aeryn because she was somewhat connected with her.

"Oi, oi, don't space out, you may lose your head." Aeryn said and by splitting the sword she went for the kill.

But Alpha's reflexes were enough for her to dodge the attack just in time. Although she could dodge Aeryn's attack with the slightest mistake she was dead.

"Just stay still and die already." Aeryn murmured.

After Alpha had been pushed back from Aeryn she yelled "UNLIMITED PRISON"

Suddenly around Aeryn appeared a lot of discs made of light and chains appeared from inside them that caught Aeryn and made her unable to move.

"Ha, I didn't think that I would see this technique again. I thought that I had exterminated everyone from your kind." Aeryn said with a smile.

"Well, it seems that you missed one." Alpha replied.

"Yeah, it seems so. Well let's finish the job." Aeryn said and tried to break free.

"Don't try to release yourself, it's in vain. Those chains use your Qi to bind you and with all those seals that you have you will soon run out of Qi."

"Do you really think that I'll just stay here and let you drain my Qi? What a joke."

Aeryn tried again to break free but Naomi surrounded her with lots of black holes.

Now Dawn couldn't do anything to escape, she was unable to move due to Alpha and now if she could break free she would die from the black holes Naomi had placed.

But she wasn't as stupid as they thought.

"It seems to me like I can't escape from here, or I'll die trying."

"Exactly, so don't try anything if you want to keep your life." Naomi replied.

"Now that I think about it, if you two wanted to kill me you would have done it a long time ago. So I guess you are familiar with that girl who's body I'm in. That means that you will not kill me either way."

Aeryn with a quick move broke free from the chains but as soon as she was ready to get hit by the black holes, Naomi removed them to not hurt her thus Aeryn went straight to Naomi.

She pierced her right arm with the sword, stepped on her, launched herself in the air and went towards Alpha.

She managed to dodge the attack but Aeryn as soon as her foot stepped to the ground made a turn with ultrasonic speed while holding the sword in order to decapitate Alpha.

And she was ready to do it but Yashito charged towards her with his sword and deflected the attack. But as a result his sword broke in two and he was vulnerable to Aeryn's attacks until he make a new one.

Suddenly a beeping sound echoed.

Yashito took his phone to have a look.

"Are you for real now? In the middle of the fight? This young generation is depending too much on this technology." Aeryn said.

"Yeah, I know." Alpha replied.

"You two, shut up. That's something important." Yashito yelled.

"What is happening?" Naomi asked.

"Do You remember the crisis that happened ten years ago? It's happening again." Yashito replied with a serious look.

"No… This can't be happening." Naomi said and fell on her knees.

"Alright then, I guess we have a job to do. Enough for today." Aeryn said.

"What are you talking about?" Alpha questioned.

"To put it simply, I never wanted to kill anyone or destroy the world or something similar. As her Highness entrusted you with your mission she entrusted me with mine. And mine is to prepare this little girl to be able to protect herself."

"That's impossible, her Highness would never entrust her daughter to someone like you."

"But she did, so shut up and listen to me. If I wanted to kill the young girl I would have already done it. So even if it hurts me to say it, I'm on your side."

Aeryn swung her sword with so much speed that the air from the sword's move turned everything in front of her into dust in just an instant. The whole dungeon started shaking like crazy because of the wind which blew a hole into the dungeon's wall.

The city was visible from there and it was clear that the crisis had begun as the sky had turned red.

"Well then, let's go, we have work to do." Aeryn said and started walking towards the hole.
