310 Halphine Part-3 (1/2)

Halphine's broad sword blocked the twin scimitar of Elyrin as he quickly send out a couple of talisman towards her only for those talismans to be intercepted by flaming sparrows, as a shield erected behind him to block a sword swing from Ryuu who had just appeared out of his shadows. Halphine smirked at that only for it to turn into horror as he saw a talisman activating inside the shield, causing him to be thrown by a blast and because it was between the narrow shield and his body the blast at point blank range had managed to fatally injure Halphine, as he fell on the floor while drenching Elyrin with his blood, an unearthly scream tore through his body as a ghostly pale being left him and phased through the floor fast.

Elyrin cursed at that as she spoke, ”That ability of him is dangerous and annoying as long as you cannot stop it we cannot defeat him.”

Ryuu's brows scrunched for a few seconds before his eyes widen as he spoke, ”I can do it, I can make him stay sealed inside his new body but most importantly I can make sure that he dies along with the body, I had read about such an array before and I know how to make but I have never need to make one before.”

Elyrin nodded at him as she spoke, ”Reasonable after all, it is not every day that you meet with a Leichenräuber. Now let us move quickly while helping our brothers and sisters every second wasted is dangerous who knows what that creature will try next.”, as she spoke she glanced down at the body of her late fiancé or what was left of it from the blast she quickly stored the remains in her space ring.

Ryuu winced at the sight as he spoke, ”I am sorry ma…”

Elyrin raised her hand stopping him from speaking as she replied to him, ”There is no need for you to say sorry Ryuu he had been dead for a long time now, and in fact I am grateful to you for helping me acquire his body now he can finally rest in peace.”, Ryuu saw her eyes become moist for a few second before she spoke with in a firm tone, ”Let us move we have a battle to win and this time that creature will not be as careless as before.”

Halphine was angry one of his collection was destroyed but he will make them pay, he had lost so much today and he was in no mood to play with them any more as he looked up at one of his collections his ghostly faced had a smirk on it as he entered a body placed in stasis just for him.

Henry was in despair only his flying vessel remained and his troops had been dwindling a good number of his men had died today specially since the enemy reinforcement arrival and he saw no hope it was either surrender or die, but before he could sink further into a despair, a couple of enemy vessels went up in a ball of fire before long the enemy soldiers suffered devastating attacks as a message came to his ears, ”Commanding Officer Report.”

Ryuu tore down a closed door before he entered through it with Elyrin just after him along with a 6 more soldiers following closely by her, she studied the entire room before she spoke in a stern voice, ”Keep your eyes peeled everyone, the area beyond this was not in any map we have found so far so be cautious.”

Ryuu's brow furrowed as he spoke, ”It looks some kind of a laboratory of some kind.”

One of the people near him spoke in confusion, ”Lavatory??? Sorry but I see no toilets here.”

Elyrin let out a small snort as she spoke, ”Sergeant after we get out of here I think you should get your hearing check the blast did a number on you.”

As they looked and went passed the specimens everyone frowned none of the specimens are known to them, most if not all looked as if it was some type of hybrids and they were in various shapes and sizes all of them were placed in stasis inside the cold and quiet room, well too quiet for anyone's liking as one of the spoke, ”I have a bad feeling on this.”

Ryuu gripped his sword hard as he replied to him with a snort, ”No kidding this place is really bad with a capital 'B', so keep your eyes peeled all the time.”

One of his fellow soldier frowned at that as he spoke, ”I do not understand, why are we wasting time here? Can Captain Ryuu not destroy everything using array.”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, ”There are too many variable here and if I try to do something there is always a chance that I might trigger some trap not to mention the shielding mechanism is protecting the specimens as such even if I manage to disrupt the shielding mechanism to destroy them it might trigger some failsafe.”

They searched through the place for any and all signs of Halphine but unfortunately for them they could not find any at all causing them to get a bit frustrated as one of the soldiers shouted out to them, ”Look I found something.”

His shout drew the attention of others as they were greeted to the sight of small stone steale which caused Ryuu to smile as he spoke, ”Great it seems you found out the steale controlling the shields, step back a bit and let me work on it.”
