Seeing the worried look on Blake's face, Camilla began wondering what could have gone wrong in the mission.
'He surely doesn't care about Major Erik. So there has to be sothing else. ' Camilla thought but that was she rembered the main reason why they had managed to survive the ruin even before getting to the chapel.
'Ebony and Ivory!' Camilla was shocked. It didn't cross her mind at first because Blake only brought them out during combat or when they were alone.
'Did the Tarantula kill them? No, if that happened he wouldn't be looking at the red zone like that.' Camilla didn't know whether to be happy or sad that they were not killed because being sent to the red zone was no different from a death sentence. Regardless, she was now very worried because she knew how much Ebony and Ivory ant to Blake.
As for the rest of the ash corps, they were confused about what was going on or even what to do next. They had no clue what had happened to Major Erik, and Blake who was the highest-ranking officer in the area was not responsive. So they all had to wait for him to give a command.
…
Back inside the ruin.
After sealing the entrance of the chapel with wind and lightning spells, Major Erik wasted no ti and began flying toward the ruin's entrance at frightening speeds, but the crazed head monk could only sneer.
Almost a hundred humans had sohow managed to escape its grasp, so there was no way he was going to let him escape, especially after killing so many of his king-rank beasts.
It imdiately controlled the king rank beasts that were on standby to move toward the entrance where they awaited his arrival.
Surely, when Major Erik finally got to the ruin's courtyard, he was shocked to see more than 30 king rank beasts waiting for him.
"Shit!" Major Erik cursed as he saw the army of beasts waiting for him. He had been so consud by the fear of the Emperor rank Tarantula and the thought of getting back at Blake for disgracing him, that he forgot about the King rank beasts that had almost cost them a lot of losses.
Going back to the chapel was not even an option because it was certain that they could not defeat the weakened emperor rank Tarantula. Also, even if he and Blake had sohow managed to escape, his career and life outside would be basically over when Blake report his action. The only option now was to fight the army of King rank beasts.
'They are weakened, and the aim is not to kill them, but to escape.' Major Erik was confident in his escaping skills, especially having awakened the wind and lighting elent. Unfortunately for him, the crazed head monk was also aware of this.
The mont Major Erik burst forward, the crazed head monk controlled the beasts to erect multiple layers of walls that spanned the width of the court, which they continuously reinforced.
"No! No! No! No!" Major Erik scread in desperation as he continuously attacked the walls with his strongest spells.
He had expected the beasts to blindly attack which would create holes in the formation allowing him to escape, but he didn't expect the cursed entity to be so diabolical.
With the beasts' formation, all they had to do was wait for the Emperor rank Tarantula to get rid of Ebony and Ivory, and he would be a certified dead man.
…
At the chapel…
The mont Blake fell into the spatial corridor and warped out of the ruin, the crazed monk let out an enraged scream.
The energy left in the core was low, but it had still spent so much energy thinking that it would reap a mighty harvest of hundreds of humans. Now all that was left was a human and 2 king rank beasts.
"Since your master has left you, I will beco your new master. "
The crazed head monk as it controlled the Emperor rank tarantula to subdue Ebony and Ivory, but that was when a familiar feeling ca over it.
This was the sa force that took it out of the red zone and allowed it to consu the soul of a lot of humans. Now that it was here again there was only one thing that ca to its mind.
It was taking him back.
"No! No! No! No!"
The crazed head monk scread in desperation as it could foresee its energy core running dry due to a lack of things to consu.
In no ti, the red force field enveloped the entire ruin and dragged it into the red zone.
Using the opportunity, Ebony and Ivory distanced themselves from the Emperor rank tarantula before answering the call of their master. They recombined into their sword form and pierces right through the walls of the ruin, before tearing their way into the void.
Once they were in the void, a black and white aura protected them from being consud by the void before locating the location of the master and flying toward the direction.
They were the product of the God of Knowledge, so insignificant things like the void and red zone could not hold them back.
As for Major Erik, he used the opportunity when the crazed head monk lost control of the beasts to break through, and dash for the exit, but imdiately he flew out of the entrance, the scene had changed.
"Why is the sand red?" Major Erik asked with deep fear in his heart, but before he could convince himself that he was inside the red zone, his body caught fire and he was instantly reduced to ashes.
…
For also 20 minutes, Blake and Camilla did not take their eyes off the red zone, because they were afraid that they would miss an opportunity to save Ebony and Ivory.
[I sense a spatial fluctuation.]
Imdiately after the system made the report a spatial tear opened at the barrier and a greatsword flew out and headed for Blake.
"They are here! " Blake scread with joy because even if he turned blind there was no way he would miss Ebony and Ivory's aura.
When Ebony and Ivory were a few ters away from Blake, they turned into a smaller version of their Haiti and Skoll form and pounced on him.
"I thought I lost you guys forever!" Blake said to his pets while ruffling their fur, not caring about the looks he got from the ash corps.
"What about Major Erik?" An ash cop managed to ask, but Ebony and Ivory began grunting at him while Blake's smile instantly turned upside down.
"While fighting with the Tarantula, he trapped in the chapel and ran away. It seems he didn't make it out alive." Blake answered as the frown on his face remained unchanged.
At first, the ash corps found it hard to believe, but am thinking of it that was the most plausible situation.
From the looks of things, the only way they could possibly last even a few seconds would be with the help of Ebony and Ivory. So from seeing how they just ca out of the red zone, it was certain that they were the ones that held off the Weakened Emperor rank beast.
"How could he do such a thing?" The ash corps were disgusted by the news.
Not only had Blake and his pets saved Erik's team from losing a lot of mbers, but he was the main reason they had even made it out of the ruin alive and not getting dragged into the red zone.
"Alright, ti to get going." Blake said to both teams since there was no need to remain there.
Mounting the cal-type beasts, they all journeyed back to Sandhaven.
Once they got back to the square, Blake went straight to the war room where he contacted Prince Bryon to make a report on the mission.
"Your Highness, the mission is over and I am calling you to make a report." Blake said with a bow.
"Carry on." Prince Bryon said with a proud smile as he gesture for him to continue.
"When we arrived at the site, we first scanned the ruin for any signs of cursed energy..." Blake began narrating the events that took place during the mission, while also adding the information he had gotten from mbers of Erik's team.
