Chapter 319 - Repairing The Village (2/2)
”Argh… Why is life so complicated? If he's this strong why does he always look like he's suffering…”
John was the weirdest person she had met, by far. Weird because he lived outside of the realm of common sense. Even with all of his power, he never abused it nor arrogantly swayed it around. A strange person indeed.

”Hm?”
After realizing that it was all over, the toxic fog dispersed and Shera emerged from the inside of it. Only to watch as everything around her, began to move in reverse.
The buildings around her, they all began to fix themselves. The village was returning to it's former glory.
No corpses could be seen as they had all been devoured whole by the lesser demons. Even the blood which had been spilled across the walls and roads had mostly disappeared.
Shera then stepped to the side, only for the rubble and debris which she was standing on, to raise itself and move return itself back onto the building it had broken off of,
Upon seeing this, she quickly covered her head with the hood of her cloak and formed a small smile as she walked towards the village entrance.
Maybe she'd find the Guild master, Bright sword and Hexo there. That was her aim at least. She could tell that Satire was still on the large floating platform in the air above the village.

”Looks like the fight is over.” Said the Guild Master as he got up.
The instant he said so, there was a quick change in the mood.
”It's over? Really…?”
”The guild master was able to take care of the Chimera, the beam of light is gone and the ground stopped shaking, I'm guessing the fight in the city is over.” One of the adventurers who was also sat down on the cold floor asked.
Short brown hair spiky above his orange eyes underneath the scar on his forehead. He carried a large sword on his back, and wore light Armour.
He was worn out, and didn't seem at all scared in regards to what had just happened. After all, the guild master had explained to everyone that an S-Rank adventurer, stronger than himself, so he and the other adventurers were all reassured.
They watched the city fix itself as there was nothing else to do. It was strangely relaxing.
”Yeah. The fighting is over. You see that large magic circle up there? It's what's fixing the city as we speak.”. He muttered calmly.
”I'm glad to have had you guys fighting by my side… You all did a great job…” Said the guild master
”G-Guild Master…” Muttered one of the injured adventurers who laid on the floor. He was starting to tear up.
”It's all thanks to you… Boss!” Said Another adventurer who was also injured, he too had started to tear up.
Adventurers who were just as big as the guild Master, were tearing up. Not because they were afraid or scared, but because they had just survived another strong fight alongside their comrades. The guild-master's words had struck deep.
A scout which the guild master had sent out, had then finally returned, bringing him great news.
The guild master then got up before raising his right hand and pointing it to the sky before suddenly shouting.
”TONIGHT WE DRINK, IT'S ALL ON THE GUILD! THE CASUALTIES WERE KEPT TO A MINIMUM AND MOST OF THE VILLAGERS WERE SAFE!!! IT'S OUR WIN!!”
His voice resounded throughout the area around them, making it's way throughout the village. He had a truly loud voice, yet somehow it didn't pierce their ears and instead, motivated and strengthened them.
”YEAAAAAHHH!!!” They all simultaneously shouted as they raised their hands.

*Tic* *Toc* *Tic*
The ticking had then suddenly stopped, before the magic circle disappeared. As he floated in the same spot, John gave a quick scan of the village, making sure everything was back to normal.
Once he realized it was all back to normal, he was about to cancel out his spell and descend, when suddenly.
*Thump*
Mountains of unthinkable pain, followed after a single heart beat, surged into John's body.
”Argh…. AAAAAAARGH!”
