107 March Through Hell (1/2)

Standing tall in the vacuum of space Laura grips her weapons, a pair of deep blue short swords that blend in with their surrounding.

Seeing the lone female prepare to fight them the group laugh out loud, they know she is powerful and for that reason brought a group of Void Realm experts to take her in alive or dead.

They had no idea how dangerous she was but an entire group of Void Realm experts should be enough for a single person.

Fighting against 12 opponents within the same Realm was going to be a challenge Laura knew this best, she was a trained in recon and assassinations being surrounded was not something she ever liked.

Breathing in deep she fades away from her enemies vision blending into the darkness that is space.

”Be on your guard she is trained in ambushes, she is just a scout watch out for assassination attempts!

Those gifted in spatial arts set up a barrier around us, track and keep her from escaping.”

The leader issued mental orders to his troops as soon as his opponent went into stealth, he held onto his staff before slamming it down.

As a wave of force spread out, his troops moved closer together to avoid being the target of a sneak attack.

After a moment of silence they assumed their target either escaped or was hiding until they left the area, as they could not find her before no matter what methods they used they stood in place waiting for her to strike.

Screaming heard from the center of their group alerted everyone of an attack, one of the female's in their group talented in spatial manipulation was missing.

Those who were near her and saw the attack gave the best description of what happened but they were all at a loss at what they had just saw.

”She just appeared behind Rashul and took her into a distorted space, it was like she absorbed her body into a seperate world.

Be careful I believe the enemy knows about our race.”

They were right Laura had gained plenty of information about the various races within the Lantar Realm, the ones before her were only partly physical beings they were able to pass through most if not all objects.

Possessing deadly soul and ice type abilities, the Shadow race was feared for their soul tearing abilities that drained the life and memories out of their enemies.

The truly powerful Shadow Wraiths could possess living bodies taking it as their own, this is one of the reason the Shadow race was so feared.

With this ability alone they could and have expanded their kind all throughout this Realm.

Now with a light blue barrier around each of the remaining 11 they start to launch attacks in every direction trying to force Laura out of hiding.

As the enemy bombards Laura with attacks of every element along with the sheer force from their weapon swings, she starts to have flashback of her time training on Jernai the homeworld of the Ancients.

....

”Get up how are you going to survive when the Gods send those 'Abominations' back into Teress?

As females of the Ancient race we are not allowed to fail! Grit your teeth and endure it, Guardians be damned we the next Generation shall be the ones to save Teress let the Guardians sleep, they have done enough!”

A young Ancient spoke to the fallen Laura, as she lay there on the frost covered ground she sees before her both her childhood friends.

Within this hellish frost they have been training since they could walk, the girl who called for her to get up had a sour look on her face as she carried another on her back as three youths made their way up the mountain.

Tia the loud princess that always yells at her and Kate, the shy silent cry baby the three girls trained together in this hellish frozen facility meant to train the youths of the Ancient race into Elites for the war they expect to come at any time.

With a smile on her face Laura recalls all the horrible things Tia said about serving the Guardians, only to later grow to become just like all members of the Ancients and worship the very ground the Guardians died upon.

As she killed another one of the Shadow wraiths she remembered the words Tia always tried to live up too.

”If the Guardians can die for the uncountable mortal races that do not even know about their existence, we as those chosen to take their place must never give up!

We can't be outdone by those female barbarians, those Draconians even use science now!”

With glowing silver blood running down her arms and pouring out the wounds on her body Laura clutches her blades tightly in her hands as she counts the 7 enemies she has left.

They no long could be fooled by her ability to blend into her surroundings, the leader used a powerful flash of light to flood the area she was trapped in, in light that revealed her location as bright as day to these shadow like creatures.

Barely able to stand she checks her wounds one last time, estimating how many more she could take down before she fell unconscious.
