33 Light Meets Darkness Part 1 (2/2)
The town was nowhere to be found, not even trace of it or even a remnant of it. There was not a single brick, single object, single life, all that was left that can be seen is a plain land. There was not even a single trace of a living being that can be found, not even a stain of blood.
”N-nothing's left… it looked like there was nothing there at all.” Zoey shakily said.
”What kind of monster could have done this?” John said.
”A-All the people… gone just like that…” Maya quietly said.
How could an event like this occur? How could there be someone that can do something like that? Those are some of the different questions within the minds of the order that came to witness the annihilation of an entire land.
There are even others imagining what could happen if something like that happened to a large city. And there were others hoping this wouldn't happen to a place with countless lives.
Anger began to spark within the heart of Vincent on the cause of all this death and chaos as he gazed upon the aftermath of the slaughtering event. As he did that, he saw several silhouettes standing in the distance. Suspicious, he grabbed his binoculars to know what could those silhouettes be.
What he saw was several people casually standing facing the aftermath. At this moment, Vincent has begun to suspect that they might be the ones responsible for this. And it's likely they are the powerful creatures that appear every century. No, it's got to be them, no ordinary being could do something like this.
Then he saw several soldiers running towards them. They must be survivors from the destroyed town. Seeing this made Vincent happy and relieved, however, they were running towards the suspicious people. With this, he decided to act quickly to save those people, as well as make those suspicious people pay.
”Everyone, get ready. It appears there are some survivors.”
”Survivors? wew, thank goodness.” Maya said.
”Yes. However, there are suspicious people standing there and the soldiers are running towards them.”
”Running towards them? Then they must be scared as hell.” John said.
”Of course they are.”
”So we're going to save them, right?” Zoey said.
”Yes, so be prepared. I suspect those suspicious people might be the ones behind this, so everyone must be ready. Now let's go.”
”Wait!”
One of the people of his team loudly shouted and surprised everyone that heard him. The scream was like a cry because of fear.
”If those people are behind this. Then would it be a good idea to face them? I mean if they can do that, then they would not be easy opponents or possibly be of a different level from us. If they're that powerful, would we even be able to fight them?”
”If we don't do anything, those surviving soldiers will die.” Vincent said.
”I know… but if we fight them…”
”We have garnered the strength we have now for years. Are you not confident of the power you worked so hard to get? Besides, with our strength, I believe we can escape with all those survivors.”
”What if we don't?”
Vincent intently looked deeply at his eyes to show his confidence.
”We will.”
The man looked at the distance after hearing Vincent's words with worries evident on his face. It was also obvious that he was being reluctant and it took several seconds for him to speak again.
”…Fine then...”
”Great. Now, everyone let's go and save those survivors!”
Everyone responded in affirmative.
