58 Save (1/2)

”Anyway, that thing looks angry so you guys might want to arm yourselves now.”

Raven smiled and said to the 'frozen-by-fear' people around him. This was a needed wake up call since they don't have time to be shocked by this scenario. This is a live battlefield, the unexpected should be expected.

With this, Paul and the rest moved and summoned their weapons, they took on a battle stance and got ready to intercept the large ant before them. Raven walked beside the recruit and said:

”Let us handle this, please step a bit further back.”

The recruit could only nod his head dumbly and follow his instructions. At this point there wasn't even a single doubt on his mind since this man just saved his life after all. He retreated a few steps back and planned to watch the entire scenario fold out.

”This isn't the first time that you guys fought something that's out of your level. Get it together.”

Raven said some encouraging words to raise their spirits, his friends sighed and prepared to receive the enemy. Meanwhile, Raven was just standing on the back while his arms were crossed. His plans were simple, he wants to see just how his friends would handle a situations like this. While it was true that their cultivations are raising at an alarming speed, he highly doubted if they could truly take advantage of it in live battle. So he planned on watching first and only helping when the situation becomes dire.

The ant was provoked, it released an ear piercing shriek and charged towards them. It was quick and the people who see supposed to intercept it were once again frozen in shock. It seems that the things that they endured inside the Virtual Beast Arena were all for naught, they was an on going war inside their minds between their rationality and responsibility.

The rational side were telling them to fall back and get out this place since it is dangerous. On the other hand, their responsible side tells them to lift their weapons and kill this thing since god knows how many people would suffer if they didn't do so.

”You guys are truly going to die if you don't move right now.”

Just before the ant reached them, Raven's grave warning reached their ears and the word: 'Die' rang in every corner of their body. Their instincts kicked in, the desire to stay alive broke their frozen bodies into movement. All of them drag their bodies away from the charging monstrosity. But the problem didn't end there.

Because nearly all of them moved out of the way, the forgot that someone was behind them. When they looked up, they saw Raven didn't move from where he was standing and not too far away from him, was the recruit who helped them find their way here. While the recruit was busy praying to every god and saints he knew for all his life in order to save him, Raven just stood there and didn't even pay attention to the beast.

Paul and Mark was distressed, their eyes constricted and cursed as they felt deep worry for their brother. This was specially felt by Paul, who's currently gnashing his teeth in anger.

'What's wrong with you Paul! You were supposed to defend for the team! You have shield! Why didn't you raised it! What's the use of all that training you endured! Look at the consequences of your action!'

Paul watched as the beast huge frame appeared in front of Raven, his heart felt like it was gripped by wrench when he saw how the beast raised on of it's sharp legs in attempts to hack Raven in two.

'God damn it! I won't reach him in time! Think Paul! Think! There must be a way!'

His heart raced in despair, he searched for a way to help his brother out but nothing comes to his mind. His eyes were glued to the leg and everything felt like it was starting to slow down. He saw the leg descending, and based on it's trajectory, it would really slice Raven in two. In his desperate attempt to save him, Paul did one thing in hopes that it will somehow work.
