The Lost Orb [PFS #1, The Bearer]

42 "Threads Of Death"

SEILE FLOREIAS' POV

ONE THING that could describe our setting, it's full of murky fog. With every thrust of the sentries' spears into the bodies of fallen souls, and with my final blow using just my dagger, they whirl back into black smoke. Returning to where they first came from. Writhing in the air before turning into dust.

Someone revealed herself from the cloud of dust dissolving before my eyes. Myrtle Schultz, walks outside of it with her black spell circle prepared in front of her.

"In pulverem redigi." She monotonously cast, hands making a push to let it out.

Uneven shapes of dark fumes surge outside of it, bursting directly to the earlier location of the fallen souls, now dead, para tuluyang tunawin ang mga thin threads na kanina'y nakakabit sa likuran nila.

Her artistry is Wither. It allows her to decay any object that comes into contact with her artistry, even a human body is no exception. Kaya kahit minsan gustong-gusto ko siyang asarin dahil sa bad temper niya, iniiwasan ko rin na mangyari ang isang bagay na kinakatakutan ko. Not that I'm scared! I just don't want her to damage my precious and beautiful skin!

As if igniting a fuse, the decaying effect crawls to those lines in unison, speeding back to its origin, perhaps where their controller is located.

Isang matinis na sigaw muli ang bumalot sa kapaligiran pagkatapos no'n na ikinabaling ng tingin namin sa kaliwang bahagi kung saan nanggagaling ang boses. Dahil sa pagkatunaw ng mga sinulid, wala ng muling lumitaw na fallen souls sa pwesto na 'yon.

"It hurts the source, huh? Umaabot ba ang epekto ng artistry mo sa controller nila?"

"I can assure you, yes."

I smirks. Umikot ang tingin ko sa paligid namin. Masyadong malayo ang boses, It would probably be a long journey from here before we reach it. We can start now, para may progress na sana kami, kaso ayaw ko namang simulan 'yon nang wala pa ang dalawang members ng S-Class.

Hindi pa rin ba tapos ang usapan nila? Naiinip na ako. They're taking a lot more time than what they initially promised to us. Pinauna na kasi nila kami para mapadala ang utos sa A-Class. The sooner, the better, as we must outpace the enemies.

Though the headmistress didn't account for this to happen, our judgment resulted this mayhem.

Myrtle continues doing the finishing. Lumapit ako sa ibang area para maubos sila nang mabilisan. Sabihin na nating nasa sampung libo ang bilang ng fallen souls na nandito sa Zavied, but we almost drain half of them! That's nearly enough. Naging maaliwalas na ang kapaligiran.

Lumapit ako kay Myrtle na kanina pa pinupuksa ang mga iyon. Natatawa kong tinapik ang balikat niya. "Ang galing galing mo talaga!"

She grimaced at me. "Shut up. You useless bitch."
