Amelia Watson and Phantom of the Timelines

Chapter 20: Apex Predator

Gura, who stood in front of me right now, was different from the usual.

No matter how many times I saw her upset or angry, I never saw her like this before.

She breathed heavily, not because she was tired but because of anger, and somehow she looked more red than usual.

Her partly blue hair was now changed into red. Her big glowing ocean-colored eyes had painted crimson. Her blue shark tail had changed into a blood color.

"Gura!"I tried to call her but she didn't react to my call at all. She walked toward the Ancient One which just recovered itself from a surprise hit from Gura.

Without any time for it to stand, the Ancient One got picked by Gura before getting punched through its shadow body without any hesitation.

"Argh!!!!!!"

The Ancient One cried in a painful voice as I widened my eyes with surprise and fear.

Gura, on the other hand, didn't care about her opponent's cry of pain at all and decided to slam the Ancient One to the ground.

"GURA!!!"

I shouted as I ran to Gura while she was trying to stomp on the defenseless Ancient One's face.

I grabbed Gura as I tried to stop her from murdering her enemy.

"Gura! Stop! You've done enough already. There is no need to do more."

Gura struggled and growled menacingly while she tried to be free from me.

I don't know what to do. I really don't.

As I tried to find the solution, Hakos Baelz, who was still severely injured, brought herself to us and touched on Gura's head.

She chanted something to herself and in no time, Gura stopped and went back to sleep.

"What are you doing to Gura?"

I asked Hakos Baelz.

"I control her chaos...*pant*...*pant*... Your friend is really a chaotic one. ..."

As soon as Hakos Baelz said that, she fainted but IRyS was able to catch her on time.

"You push yourself too bard, you stupid rat."

IRyS said to the unconscious Hakos Baelz.

After all of the crazy things ended, I lost all the strength in my legs and collapsed down to the floor as I held Gura in my arms.

As I collapsed to the ground, the pocket watch, which Ouro Kronii left with me, escaped my pocket and rolled itself next to the Ancient One.

Before I could even notice anything, the Ancient One woke from its slumber and took the pocket watch.

It quickly flew away from its location and laughed maniacally.

"Finally!!! I got it!"

The Ancient One spoke as I looked at the pocket watch on its hand.

I was surprised by how the situation went from north to south in just a few seconds.

Ouro Kronii who just picked herself up, despite her severe injury, brought herself next to me before speaking to the Ancient One with a shaking voice.

"The Ancient One! Stop! *pant* You don't know what you are doing."

Ouro Kronii spoke but the Ancient One didn't care at all.

"I do know, the Warden of Time. I do know that I will go back in time to save my friends from that monster."

The Ancient One spoke as it did something to the watch.

"This will be the farewell for us, the Council, and you too, Amelia Watson."

The Ancient One looked around the room before it finished by staring at me.

The Ancient One clicked on the watch and disappeared into the void which appeared behind it.

After the disappearance of the Ancient One, the room was filled with complete silence.

Ouro Kronii collapsed to the ground next to me.

I looked around the room and found that it was a complete disaster. All Council members were injured, some of them lying on the floor with many severe wounds, especially Ouro Kronii.

Only me, Gura, and IRyS were the people in this room who had no wounds in our bodies.

After looking around for a while, my eyes were caught by two marbles that were lying on the floor next to me.

I looked at it and I saw Calli and Kiara sleeping inside the marble.
