21 Sorry for being late. (1/2)
Time : 3 AM.
”Everyone! Move it! Evacuate to the West side of the city Now!” Isao shouted as he drove his sword into the demon in front of him.
”Hey, you think we will make it?” Hisashi asked Isao as he panted heavily.
”Do you really need to ask that question?! Ofcourse we won't!!” Isao shouted as he gave a sarcastic smile.
”Huh...Guess so...let's move in deeper...Isao to your left!” Hisashi pierced his sword into a demon's gut.
”That was close...that would have been awkward...dying right after I said that line while posing.” Isao looked at Hisashi who just saved him from certain death.
”Let's go...Isao.” Hisashi ran deeper into the eastern region.
”Roger that...”
”Get a move on it men!! This side is clear, let's move to the next block, take all th...” Zeyner's words stopped in his tracks as he widened his eyes and looked back from the corner of his eyes as he tilted his head a little to his right.
”Second lieutenant, Kagami, you are in charge. Take the men and leave the premises immediately!” Zeyner shouted as he turned back to face a demonic presence from the shadows of an alley.
”You are good at hiding, but not good at hiding your blood thirst. COME OUT!!!” Zeyner shouted while his spirit growled as it stared towards the alley.
”You...are...strong...hrehrehre” A demon came out of the shadows with dark coloured gauntlets indented with dark energy. This was the one who lead the army inside the city, a Krynch, a kind of demons who are known for their strategic abilities, for this very reason they are appointed as the one's to lead other demons.
”That gauntlet...” Zeyner eyed the gauntlet with suspicions in his mind.
”Ah...the Soul gauntlet huh?...you like it...hree...I took it from some dead protector in Tristina...I didn't see his face cause he didn't have a head...hehe...” The Krynch walked over slowly as he riled up his dark energy.
Sparks began to fly as they started to fight, Zeyner was exhausted heavily due to many factors. Celeritas, his Cheetah spirit tried to distract the Krynch which would present Zeyner with an opening to strike him down. But the Krynch's are known for their tactical mind, he easily took notice of their tactics and countered it with effective methods.
”Celeritas, come back! We only stand a chance against him with our combined energy.” Zeyner ordered his spirit, leading his spirit to retreat into his Soul sword.
”Ken!! How in the world did you do....” Izumi swallowed her words as Ken shouted ”I don't know... I PROMISE!!!.... I got no idea how I did that?”
”I did get my seal weakened for casting conservation spells...but I never got my seal entirely broken...” Ken tried to contemplate how he managed to achieve what he achieved.
'TRINK!!!' A demon broke through the window of Izumi's bedroom.
”Umm...We can talk later...time to go Ken...grab your Javelin.” Izumi sheathed her sword as she put on her shoes in a frantic manner.
”Got it, let's head towards my house.” Ken pulled the pinned Javelin out of the wall as the demon fell onto the ground.
Izumi and Ken quickly got out of the house and rushed towards the workshop. Izumi fought off the demons along the way with Ken's support as they made their way to the workshop.
”Yui!...let's go now!...” Wakanabe dragged little Yui out of their house.
”Papa!...the protectors will protect us right..?” Yui asked as her cheeks turned red with her eyes filled with tears seeing the horror in front of her.
”Yeah...they will Yui...but we got to take care of ourselves a little as well. We can't burden them too much, right?” Wakanabe dragged Yui towards the direction the protectors told them to flee as she tightly held her father's hand.
Time : 3:30 Am.
