After seeing huge numbers of creatures coming towards him from the sky. Ray decided to just run from here. Since their numbers are large and all of these creatures can regenerate, so they are kind of immortal. Ray does not know any weaknesses using which he can deal with these creatures.
So he cast ["Gale Shoes"] and started running in opposite direction. He also cast ["Blink"] spell every few seconds to increase the distance between him and creatures.
While running, he noticed a floating island, and he also saw that there were no creatures.
So he immediately opened his wings and started flying towards that island.
Once he landed on the island. He looked back towards his previous island only to see that the creatures were not following him anymore.
However instead of relief, Ray became Alert and sensed danger because these creatures never followed him to this island. Hence, there must be something or someone on this island which even these creatures fear. Then he started searching for Kana and Leo everywhere.
----------------------------------------------------------------
{After 15 Minutes}
Finally, Ray saw a mansion. He also discovered many familiar presences through mana sensing. He was able to sense the presence of Leo, Elora and Luna. They were together at the top floor of the mansion.
And Kana was at the First Floor, and she was close to someone having sinister and unnatural presence.
When Ray started walking towards the mansion, the mansion door opened, and he saw a man coming out of the mansion.
{MC POV}
The man was wearing black clothes. He had red hair and a very evil face. He looked like human but from his presence alone I could tell that he was not a human and was probably using disguise magic or something.
The man was holding Kana by her neck with his hands and claws. His claws were just millimeters away to pierce her neck.
"Ah! You finally came here. It took you quite a long time to come here you know. Sigh... I am dissatisfied with your performance. If you had come another second late then this girl would already be dead." said the man.
"What! Are you?" I asked
"Me? Hahahaha!!!!. My name is Ethan and you will get all of your answers but not today. Maybe you will get all these answers in the Future if you stay alive today that is.
Till then, I will have some fun with you, Torture you and enjoy the look of despair on your face Hahahahhahah!." said Ethan and started laughing like a mad man.
"You want to fight right? Then Kana should be separate from our confrontation" Ray said.
"Oh! Of course not. She will make this battle more fun after all." said Ethan in sinister voice.
"Huh?" Ray became confused.
"Let me tell you something boy. If you are thinking that even if I kill this Kana girl, and you will easily be able to revive her once you return to your world then you are mistaken boy.
First, you can't leave this dimension without defeating the creator. And You don't have enough strength to defeat him.
Second, Let's say even if you manage to get out of here through a miracle. You can't revive this girl. Why?? Because in this dimension there is no concept of resurrection like you had in your world. So if she died her soul will always stay in this dimension. If this dimension is destroyed her soul will also die. So in short you can't let this girl die here Hahahahhahah!!!!! " Ethan chuckled coldly then he retracted his claws and instead thrust his sword at Kana's neck but stopped.
"....." Kana broke out in a nervous sweat at the prickle of danger she could feel on her neck. Like Ethan said, no matter how she looked at it right now, she was the shackle holding Ray down. She felt terrible because of that.
"I don't get it... What do you gain from all this?" Ray asked in an indifferent tone. After hearing that resurrection is not possible, he became serious.
"You will get all your answers later boy. For now, you will have to defeat me. I am saying if you don't defeat me in this battle. Then... Was it Reyanna? Elora. I will maybe search for your mother or sister. I'll go after those women next. Of course, I'll enjoy them to the fullest before killing them. Don't worry, though. I'll leave you half-alive and bring you along to witness it" Ethan boasted to irritate Ray.
"...." As soon Ray heard his words his calm facade broke. Ray's wrath swelled. As though to embody that rage, a tremendous amount of magic poured out of Ray' body. He also released his terrible killing intent.
"Ha! You finally have one of the expression on your face which I wanted to see. Now I just have to break it and show you despair." Ethan smirked.
Ray observed every small move Ethan made so that he could react if Ethan tried to harm Kana. Then, Ethan suddenly hugged Kana towards him.
"Eeepp... ..!" Kana let out a shriek as she lost balance. Meanwhile, Ethan took his gaze off Ray and looked into the distance. Immediately after that, Ethan and Kana disappeared.
Ray was able to identify Ethan's location. He could see someone in the sky several meters away, as though he had teleported there. Ray immediately cast ["Gale Shoes"] spell and followed after them. Then he opened his wings and started flying towards Ethan location.
Once they were far away from the mansion. Ethan stopped flying and stayed still in the air and again faced in Ray direction. Ray also stopped after seeing Ethan looking towards him
"Eek!....." Ethan grabbed the fabric of Kana's dress and threw her towards the ground. The fabric at the middle of the back of her dress ripped loudly. Kana was a Fox. She had no wings so she could not fly. Plus, Ray could also see that her mana was completely depleted, probably in her fight against Ethan.
There was no way she'd walk away unharmed after falling from several dozen meters.
"Tch...." Ray cast ["Blink"] spell and then teleported midair to catch the falling Kana. He then landed on the ground with Kana and retracted his wings.
"You want to play Hero right? Then Protect her from dying if you can." He then disappeared. Ethan stood behind Ray, his sword swinging down from overhead.
(The fu*k! He's so fast! Wait is he a space magic user? I will have to check this....) Ray hugged Kana close to him as he parried the blow offhandedly with his sword. But the force of the attack was so high. Even he couldn't handle that much and his balance was completely thrown off, and he could barely manage to parry the attack.
"Hey, what's the matter? Huh?! Your movements are dull!" Ethan swung his sword without a care.
"Guh...." Ethan strength was abnormal. He was not a human that's why.
Also, from his first exchange of swords Ray understood that Ethan sword mastery was same as him. With Kana embraced in his grasp, Ray stood his ground to fight back, but he was at too much of a disadvantage. Kana could tell that just by looking. Ray couldn't just drop Kana on the ground since he doesn't know the enemy abilities. What if Ethan is a space user? Or What if Ethan is Lightning user and his speed suddenly becomes far higher than Ray.
"Ray, you can throw me aside!" Kana twisted her body around to plead at him in a panic.
"It's dangerous Kana, please stay still. Keep a tight hold of me and don't let go of me!" Ray ordered in No-Nonsense Tone, hugging Kana even closer.
