Chapter 77 Helix's Voice Can't Be Heard

Gudan relaxed his back on the ground inside what seemed to be a huge deep pit caused by the previous attack.

Grunting, Gudan opened his eyes to look at the sky. The sun was already setting and everywhere was starting to turn dark.

"Ahhh, she really did a number on me." Gudan muttered to himself while still staring at the sky.

After falling on the ground with fire, Gudan's body separated into pieces on the ground and some parts were still on fire.

Being a ghost, there was no sign of blood in his severed body, but rather, blue sparkling dust floating out of the opening.

Only the upper part of his body and head were barely intact, the others were being scorched by the flames in different parts of the pothole.

"Hey! Are you okay down there?!" Yuri's voice echoed inside the pit hole.

Gudan chuckled, "Dying in the hands of a witch…. That's rather insulting for a council member such as myself." He uttered.

Closing his eyes, two middle-seized ghost hands grew out from the ground and grabbed his throat as he smiled.

"Alas, I didn't get to touch her bobbies, ahhhh, pretty sad way to go out. At least give a dying man the joy of grabbing those huge milk makers." Gudan uttered with a smile.

The hands suddenly compressed their grip around Gudan's neck and started squeezing the life out of him.

Yuri looking down at the hole could only see gloaming, after a while of peeping, she stood up from the floor.

Placing her hand on her jaw she looked in front of her to see a huge battle going on between the elves/beastmen and vampires/werewolves and other creatures.

"I guess I should help." Yuri thought to herself.

Staring at the battle intensively again...…

"Nah, I'm sure, master needs my help." Yuri turned her back on them and was about to walk away when a voice suddenly called out to her.

"Yuri!"

Divanchi called out, landing right behind her with a boom.

Yuri immediately veered around to look at Divanchi, "Damn girl, I thought you were supposed to be assisting the stupid elf boy with rescuing the other stupid elf girl." She voiced.

Divanchi frowned her face as she responded, "It's Orland and Elena, not stupid elf".

"Yeah yeah," Yuri voiced out, moving her fingers which in return made the ground bound up so Yuri could sit down.

"Are you done with your task already?" Yuri asked.

With a sigh, Divanchi looked at the battle, "Yes I am, and master has gone to face the Duke".

"What?!"

Yuri yanked up and walked over to Divanchi's front, "Why the hell did you let him go by himself?!" She yelled.

"Relax, master is very much capable of handling himself in a fight, you don't…".

"But can he kill!" Yuri immediately sprung a question at her.

"What are you…"

"It's Master we are talking about here, sure he's strong, but the same goes for the Duke, the only difference here is, the Duke won't hesitate to kill him, but can Master do the same?" Yuri questioned.

Divanchi was speechless, looking to the ground as she also began to doubt if Sato could handle himself.

Yuri sighed, "That's it, I'm going to help him, at the very least, I won't mind cutting down the head of the Duke if it meant saving my master." She said as she walked.

"Wait." Divanchi muttered, sending a long flame to block Yuri's path which immediately kept her still.

"What is it?" Yuri asked with her back still turned.

"Don't get involved in that fight." Divanchi spoke.

Divanchi stood still for a while but later decided she didn't want to attend to what Divanchi was saying, so she kept on walking.

"Yuri!" Divanchi yelled, "If you stay, I'll tell master, you rescued both Elena and me when I failed my mission… Heroically, of course".

Yuri stopped moving again, turning slowly before she sped walked in front of Divanchi.

She pointed at Divanchi and uttered, "Fine I'll do it, but no take backs, okay?".

"Sure." Divanchi said with a relieving smile on her face.

"Now that that's settled, let's go help them over there… I kinda feel pity for the little one already".

Yuri voiced out, looking at how Jiro was being whacked around and Deka had to keep protecting him.

...

Baam!

Sato landed on top of the single pillar, his first reaction was shock when he looked around and saw that the mansion was destroyed.

Looking further up, he saw Vlad sitting on the ground and resting his back on another single pillar while the ground was covered in blood and body parts.

"Ahh, geez, this guy is going to be trouble." Sato muttered.

All of a sudden, a sweet, calming melodious voice began singing. The voice echoed all around the red district and everyone could hear it.

Sato looked to his left, and saw the three mermaids, holding hands as they sang on the hill with Sebastian holding a vampire to the floor.

"Very good." Sato said with a smile, "Finally, this whole thing can come to an end".

"Is this your doing?" Vlad voiced out.

Sato immediately looked at him before jumping down from the pillar and landing on the ground.

"Yes, it is," Sato responded, "I've made sure the people who are standing against you are dealt with, you don't have to … you know, worry."

"And my daughter?" Vlad asked.

"She's safe, see." Sato pointed at the cliff where the mermaids were.

With a smile on his face, Vlad voiced, "I see".

His eyes had been closed throughout and he had his back turned so Sato couldn't tell what face he was making.

'Something feels off.' Sato spoke to himself, 'Helix, can you get a read on him?' He asked but got no response.

Sato was stunned, this was the first time he had called on Helix and she didn't answer him.

'Helix? Hey! What's wrong? Say something!'.

Sato desperately tried to get her to say something b5 Helix's voice was not heard even once.

A look of culmination suddenly hit Sato in the face when he began to recall the instances when Helix had been giving him replies like.

[Unable to analyze].

"Ah shit, this guy really is bad news." Sato said as he stared at Vlad from a distance with nervousness written all over his face.
