Archie furrowed his forehead as he stared at nothing and chewed the at, he then looked at the black-haired witch. “Wait, didn’t I suppose to use that teorite fragnt to fight him?” Archie asked.
The black-haired witch took so of the at on the tree branch. “That was the plan before you encountered him and told you that you only have 7 days to prepare.” She said. “After knowing that you only have 7 days, there’s no way for a human to be able to process that fragnt.” She continued as she chewed the at.
Archie humd with understanding but then he looked at the red-haired witch and pointed at her. “Isn’t she able to lt the fragnt with her power? I rember that the fire witch from where I ca from abled to lt it with her fire.”
The red-haired witch looked at Archie. “I’m not strong enough to lt the fragnt like her, and the reason why is because I’m the weakest compared to my other fire sisters. The one that you ntioned, she’s the strongest fire sister so it’s not a surprise that she is able to do that.”
“So? If each elent has the strongest one, which one of you is the strongest compared to your own elent?” Archie asked as he looked at the black-haired and green-haired witches.
The green-haired witch raised her hand. “That would be , I’m the strongest one compared to my other sisters. You can see that I have a body while the rest of my sisters don’t, and I can control all the trees and roots in this land easily while the others can’t.”
Archie nodded with understanding as he stood up. “Alright, I should get going now because the sun is about to rise.”
The three witches nodded and Archie imdiately ran to the forest edge.
Archie looked around in the abandoned city and he couldn’t feel a single parasite which was weird since today was the day that guy planned to attack the city. He kept looking and planned to reduce the threat and danger so the humans could handle the easier ones but he couldn’t find any.
He arrived in the city and went straight to his house, Marie was cleaning the ground and saw Archie in the alleyway.
“Ah! Where have you been? I haven’t seen you for days!” Marie asked as she approached Archie.
“Oh, I was working on the other side of the city and I didn’t have the ti to go back because it’s quite far from here.” Archie lied as he smiled at Marie.
“I see, well, I’m glad that you’re back,” Marie said. “But…” Marie continued and her expression changed drastically. “The situation around here is getting worse, Archie, the soldiers have been moving a lot lately. Not only that, I saw them bringing the tanks, apache helicopter, and the big guns to the south wall. Sothing must have happened and they prepared for sothing big there.” Marie said as she looked at the south wall with a worried expression.
Archie noticed that on his way back to the city, he saw dozens of gatling guns and heavy machine guns installed on the walls. If they prepared all the heavy weapons there, that must an they knew about the disaster that was going to happen soon.
“Did a friend of mine co here to look for , Marie?” Archie asked.
Marie nodded. “Yes, a woman and a man were here last night, they asked about you but I told them that I haven’t seen you so they imdiately leave after knowing that you’re not ho,” Marie replied. “Oh, speaking of that, they left sothing and they want to give it to you,” Marie said as she tried to reach for sothing in her pocket. “Here…” Marie said as she gave a piece of paper to Archie.
Archie grabbed the paper and it was a pub where he spent the night with Ruby and the others.
“Thank you, Marie, I will go there right now,” Archie said then left to the pub.
Archie arrived at the front door of the pub, he could hear a lot of people talking from inside, he then opened the door and saw Ruby, Tommy, Vincent, and Daniel on the counter. They turned their heads and looked at Archie with a surprised expression, then Ruby jolted from her seat and approached him.
“Archie…” Ruby said with a slight smile on her face.
Archie looked around and there were only the 4 of them and Frank behind the counter. “So, why do you want to see here?” Archie asked Ruby.
“Co here, I will tell you the details,” Ruby said as she walked back to the counter. Archie followed her from behind and looked at Vincent who seed glad to see him back.
Archie sat down in between them and Frank offered him a drink, he then asked for a big glass of whiskey.
“A lot of things happened when you were gone,” Ruby said.
“Okay, tell everything,” Archie replied.
“3 days ago, the sa ExTP that made Prince and Resse in a comatose state appeared again. Marlon deployed the 11th up to 20th Divisions to defeat it, and as you know all of them are the product of the experint. They managed to kill that parasite but lost dozens of them in the process. After that, Marlon sent a scout team to check the situation in the south, they found out there were hundreds of parasites that are Gen 4 up to Gen 6 in the abandoned city,” Marie said.
“One of the scouts was seen dead, and there was a piece of paper in his hand. It was a warning and said that today will be the day all the parasites will co and attack the city. It’s as you said, Archie, they’re really coming here to destroy the city.” Vincent said.
Archie took a sip and looked at the bottles that were being displayed on the wall. “What about him? Did he show himself or not?”
Vincent shook his head while both Tommy and Frank were looking at each other with confusion. “There’s no sign of him, but you said that he will co here today as well, right? Then he should be around the abandoned city right now.” Vincent said.
“I didn’t find him anywhere nor the parasites that you just said,” Archie said and looked at Vincent. “There were no signs of them out there in the abandoned city,” Archie continued.
Both Ruby and Vincent looked at each other and then Ruby grabbed Archie’s arm. “That’s impossible because we all saw it with our own eyes with a telescope and thermal scope last night. There were dozens of them or even a hundred, there’s no way that they’re not out there now,” Ruby said with confidence.
Archie furrowed his forehead and looked at his own reflection on the whiskey, and before he could say a word, he heard a siren was being rung outside. All of them imdiately looked at the window and got up to check what that siren was about. The siren was long enough to tell everyone that it was an ergency situation.
“This is it?” Tommy asked as he stared through the window.
“Let’s move!” Ruby said as she opened the door in front of her.
Ruby and the others imdiately got out of the pub and Archie followed them from behind.
Ruby asked the soldiers around the pub but they had no idea what was the siren for. Ruby then decided to go to the south wall to check if it had sothing to do with the attack.
Archie followed them from behind and suddenly he stopped moving because his right hand trembled. He started to sense the danger that ca from outside the wall, he looked at the gate with confusion because he didn’t feel anything earlier but for so reason, he now could feel the presence of the parasites.
“Archie! Co on!” Ruby yelled at Archie.
Archie nodded and ran to catch up with them.
Ruby looked up as the soldiers were running around and loaded the big guns. “Hey! What’s going on?!” Ruby shouted at the soldiers on the wall.
One of the soldiers looked down and they could see the fear in his face. “Th-they are here!” The soldier shouted with his voice cracked.
“How many?” Ruby asked.
“Hundreds of them! And so of them are gigantic!” The soldier replied.
Ruby looked at Vincent, Tommy, Daniel, and Archie. “Let’s go up there and see it for ourselves.”
All of them nodded and imdiately took the stairs.
Ruby was the first one to reach the top of the wall, she looked to her left and she suddenly stopped moving. Tommy and Vincent were next to reach the top and they both imdiately covered their mouth and rubbed their cheek. Daniel and Archie were the last ones to reach the top, when they saw beyond the wall, Daniel gasped while Archie just furrowed his forehead.
“This isn’t an attack, this is an annihilation,” Ruby said quietly as she saw hundreds of parasites walking toward the city while they were destroying the buildings around them.
