Book 3: Chapter 24: The Hunt Part I
Scarlet
Without any hesitation, the Garden begins to descend at an incredible speed towards the ground, stopping with the bottom of the island just barely not touching the walls of the orphan sector. Then Ava immediately shouts while manifesting a spear in her hand and a layer of blood armor around her body, Enforcers, come! We restrain the Fracture here and now!
A loud roar echoes from the Guardians on the Garden, making me look back to find a woman seemingly about thirty years old spreading her hands out and letting out a roar akin to that of a tiger. She then begins transforming into a black tiger spanning three meters in length and an entire meter and a half in height, her claws digging into the stone of the Garden. Only for that stone to fix itself when she begins charging off towards the edge of the Garden.
Meanwhile, similar events start happening around the Garden where each of the Class V Guardians prepare before leaping off of the floating island and into the orphan sector. But when I turn around myself, I feel a hand on my shoulder, bringing my gaze to find the blind seer of the Garden. Avas second in command. And as I look back, I also notice the rest of the members of the Garden heading down towards one of the tunnels leading underground.
The woman smiles at me and says, Come.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
So I follow her and the other Guardians underground until we end up at a hangar which is housing several large hover platforms magi-tech structures meant to transport large objects through the air. And everyone is currently climbing onto the platforms.
The seer lightly pushes my back towards it and says, Hop on.
I smile at that before nodding at her and jumping onto one of the platforms alongside over a dozen other Guardians, almost all of which on this platform are Class II, leaving the majority of the Class IIIs and some Class IVs on other platforms entirely.
Something I do notice is that none of the Class Is are here. In fact, Im pretty sure they all stayed above ground.
If its my blood shadow though, I should be able to safely attack it. All itll mean for me is some painful backlash if my blood shadow is killed after all.
Out of the corner of my eye, I find the other Guardians on the platform all sending ranged attacks down on the demons as well, meanwhile the Guardians on the ground are starting to tear their way through the swarms of demons. I even see the Class Vs already having killed the general and sealed the core, making it so they can shatter it at any moment. And by now theyre floating up into the air and using widescale skills to stop any demons from killing the civilians with some rather great success.
I also cant help but notice some random flashes of white here and there before demons just randomly disappear right as theyre about to hurt a civilian.
Whites doing, no doubt.
But shes not just slaughtering everything. Only protecting civilians who are about to get hurt or die.
My attention returns to the Class III demon that my blood shadow was fighting the moment I feel backlash from its death, making me almost lose my footing on the platform.
|Demon Vanguard Subspecies: Taracht Level 253|
The same demon that was used in my very first ranking tournament at Lions Heart as the Class III demon.
Damnit, I will kill this thing!
