Chapter 1015 Man In The Sky

Varian glanced out of the window and saw a city he didn't recognize in flames and ruins. Humans were running in groups on the streets as they were hunted by the abyssal soldiers.

A few military compounds were teleporting the batches of humans away, but there were too many humans left.

Varian walked out of the ghost ship and stepped onto a residential building. A thick stench of blood and corpses assaulted his senses and nearly caused him to retch.

"F-Fucking hell!" Varian closed off his sense of smell and glared at the city with red eyes.

Then an explosion in the sky caught his attention.

A bright light flashed in the sky before darkness claimed it. The two were dispersed by a bunch of lightning snakes which soon exploded.

Sia and Sarah were fighting a bunch of level 9s. They were clearing losing but from time to time, they'd stare at the humans rushing into the military compound and continued fighting.

The injuries on their bodies were numerous. Sarah was bleeding heavily from her arm and abdomen while Sia was a sharp wound on her shoulder. It should've been originally a hit for her neck, but she luckily dodged.

Varian exhaled the breath he didn't know he was holding. Then, his aura shone.

The three-story building he was standing on exploded and a multitude of colors washed over the street he was in like a tsunami.

Varian kicked the ground and shot up to the sky faster than a rocket. The shockwave swept the ground and the street turned into powder.

"Haha! Come on! As long as you keep fighting, we won't touch them!"

High in the sky, an abyssal laughed as he threw a lightning dagger. Along with him, his team of twenty more level 9s did the same and the attacks reached the girls.

They blocked most of the attacks but three managed to break past their defenses.

Sia nearly lost her arm while Sarah's left hand was pierced, burnt and went numb.

Another abyssal sneered. "You bitches secretly sent so many humans to safety, but do you think it makes a difference? Their death is just delayed!"

His words elicited approval and another round of attacks reached Sarah and Sia.

The injuries on their bodies increased and they looked at each other.

'Should we retreat?'

'If we fight anymore, it'll be too risky.'

The thought of retreating once again flashed in their minds but suddenly the scream of a mother reached the sky.

"Arghhh! Please! Not my child! Nooo!"

Sarah's light sense saw a woman holding a lump of--

Sarah's face paled and her body shook. Even though she had seen it all already, she couldn't bear to look at the tragic and horrific sight.

"Do you want to retreat? Abandon those poor things?" The leader of the attacking group smirked at them. "Those poor fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters. Are you going to abandon them all?"

Sarah bit her lip even as it bled while she glared at the abyssals with burning hatred.

If this was any other bunch, even if there were twenty level 9s, she and Sia would've slaughtered them. But these twenty were strong and elite of their race.

"Ow, so scary." The abyssal leader mocked her before his face twisted into a hideous smile. "People like you are the reason so many of my kind died. You bastards! You kept fighting us for more than a century! Don't you like fighting? Then come on, keep fighting!"

His words seemed to trigger every abyssal present. Rage surged through them and they all attacked the two with tremendous vigor. Their lightning mana combined and formed two lightning spears.

Neptune's sky was covered by a golden light.

Sia and Sarah barely dodged the lighting spears. But the weapons turned back and began chasing them. They dodged again and again but the spear was getting faster and faster.

Sia's face paled and she grabbed Sarah's hand, ready to teleport. They're done playing. This was a killing blow!

"Don't you dare run!"

"Face the attack if you aren't cowardly bitches!"

"If you run away, the spears will fry the people below!"

The abyssals taunted, dared and threatened them all at once. As if responding to their words, the ground suddenly had an explosion. An entire street was blown to bits!

Sarah's hand struggled slightly but Sia pulled her closer and glared at her as she mouthed his name.

Sarah sighed and stopped struggling. The corners of her eyes turned wet, but she  nodded painfully.

Her extended sense instinctually reached ghost ship to check for condition. There's no safe place like ghost ship, especially for Varian.

Even if anyone found and attacked while Varian remained unconscious, Sarah had faith that Boo would do everything in its power to protect him.

But to her horror, Sarah couldn't sense the ghostship. She tried again but Boo wasn't there at all!

Before she could say anything, the space around her twisted and they appeared in the location where ghost ship should be.

"Boo!" Sia yelled but there was no response. "Oh damn!"

The lightning spears shot at them and they teleported at the last moment.

"Boo! Where are you?!" Sia yelled into her calm, anger and worry evident in her tone.

"S-Sia!" Boo stammered.

"How is Varian?" Sia asked first even as she and Sarah continued to teleport to dodge the lightning spears.

"M-Master..." Boo's voice grew quiet.

Sia's heart sank and an ominous premonition in her heart grew. "No, don't you dare say that. Where the hell are you?"

"He went out." Boo said in a low voice. For some reason, the sounds of large explosions sounded in the background.

"He woke up? Where is he?" Sia gasped, failing to hide her anxiety.

Boo gulped audibly and answered. "A-Above you."

Sia raised her head and glanced at the sky.

The lightning spears were coming for her and Sarah. The abyssals were standing high above, watching them with disdain.

Out of nowhere, a multitude of colors washed over Neptune like a tsunami.

Then the world turned still.

The lighting spear froze in space before it broke into little sparks.

The abyssals exploded into pieces of blood and bones as they blankly stared above.

Sia followed their line of sight and saw him.

Varian stood in the sky, his eyes filled with killing intent that she'd never seen.
