"I can see them even more clearly now! I reckon that we have just about thirty seconds left!"
With that sudden proclamation, Yariko maintained his leadership of the Hallory Circuit group as well as Liohi Kitagami as their front line formation had now completely left the other mbers in the dust.
Second by second, the tightness of Lohi’s chest grew as confrontation approached. In order to completely annihilate the opposition, his long range attack had to be perfect, and he had to trust in Shihon to make the right decision.
She’s probably stressing the fuck out right now, he quietly said in his mind while thinking of Shihon, and decided to give one last word of encouragent before he issued a common when in close combat.
"I trust you, Shihon!"
"We’ll crush them together, KC!"
At the sa ti, Yariko and Liohi had given their final words to their Magical Beasts, and the latter took a final glance at the army in front of him.
About a dozen n advanced, so riding on Magical Beasts on and and others hanging onto those that flew in the air, strapped with various weapons.
It was only at that mont, though, when he was about to whip out his handgun, when he noticed a sharp glint from beyond them.
Within a split second, a flash of light had been picked up from his eyes from the highest floor or the Paradisus Legion Tower.
And that was when the horrifying realization struck him.
They had all been running straight into a death trap.
We’re fucked.
He opened his mouth to scream, but it was too late, as a blurred sound whizzed right past his ear-
SHKK!!
-And a moist liquid splattered across his left cheek, after which a thud was heard behind him.
There was no ti to warn the others, and there was hardly any less ti to act on his instinctive fear.
He naturally turned back, and the cold feeling of sothing bigger than dread filled his heart.
He watched the body of Jack, Yariko’s co-worker, tumble from his leopard Magical Beast and slam into the ground, rolling away as the bullet connected into his skull without warning.
Liohi’s eyes widened as numbness blood from within, and although only a few milliseconds passed, it was as if an eternity was present as that image looped in his brain over and over again.
Almost everyone from the group that was near him had turned, and Yariko’s eyes watered, unable to register what he had just seen as being real.
Then-
"RAHHHHHH!!!!!"
"SHIHON!!!! COVER EVERYBODY!!!"
Yariko let out a hostile war cry that echoed, and Liohi panicked, screaming at the top of his lungs while everyone else dissolved into an outcry of animosity and fear.
Shihon’s eyes darted, unable to comprehend what had happened, but vines from her back outstretched and completely covered the front view of all companions present while Jack’s Magical Beast’s contract had been terminated imdiately due to his sudden death, erasing its mory completely as it stopped in its tracks.
Yariko raged wildly, and although his front view was now shielded with walls of ethereal glowing vines, he had quickly realized that the source of the attack had co from a sniper from above.
FROM THE FUCKING TOWER!! YOU’LL PAY FOR THAT!!!
One of his acquaintances had lost his life, not even a few hours into the mission. His heart had been imdiately set ablaze with anger, and he bit hard on his lips, drawing blood as he vowed to destroy whoever was in the upper floors of the tower.
However, with only a few seconds of collision between the two armies, Shihon had completely blocked everyone’s vision in an attempt to shield them from aerial attacks. The nine mbers of the Hallory Circuit group along with Liohi were now running without any view in front of them, and then, a haughty voice cackled from above as a man flew out from the back of a serpent with wings in midair and descended towards Liohi with a knife in his hand.
"You’re toast!!" he cried, and hurled it straight at his skull, but it slashed past Liohi’s cheek as he avoided direct contact with the blade just in ti.
"-hk, keep moving Shihon!!’
He quickly aid to shoot at his opponent, but his adversary yanked his own body away from his line of fire while still in midair to his right, and whizzed past him from above before reaching for his pocket and hurling another knife at his unprotected back.
Liohi could not turn around in ti, and a hot, searing pain flooded his lower body as he could feel a blade pierce into his skin with precision and power.
Just as he scread out in pain, his body tumbled off of Shihon’s back, and the attacker hit the ground hard, but he was not done.
"VOLTAGE! NOW!!"
With that simple command, everything was pandemonium everywhere, all at once.
Yariko, with tears in his eyes, widened his pupils as he eyed Liohi’s body flying off to the side
Shihon, who felt Liohi’s weight being released off of her back, could only side-eye and watch in shock.
The other Shinigami Soldiers, including Darius who was pretty much Yariko’s right hand man now, could not hide their panic as their concentration spiralled into nothingness.
And Voltage, the serpent-like monster with wings from above, slapped its wings together, generating a lightning bolt that crashed into the group with a powerful explosive shockwave of electricity.
Most of it had collided with Shihon’s protective wall, but that did not stop damage that had stung the entire group in an instant of ti, and all of the Shinigami Soldiers who had been leading the front lines of the mission had been blown back, leading to a complete stop as everyone collided hard into the earth below, both Magical Beasts and Masters.
With only a few seconds left for survival in the case of each and every mber present, the periter of the Paradisus Legion Tower was now about to break out into a full scale warzone.
