The commotion inside the forest already reached the ears of the people outside. The Emperor ordered the Imperial knights to surround the whole vicinity while some were helping to evacuate the civilians and the wounded hunters who managed to escape.
“According to the witnesses, the monsters are all A-class, Your Majesty. There's an unforeseen dungeon break out happened inside,” one of the knights reported. The Emperor just nodded his head, his eyes still lingering at the entrance of the forest.
On the other hand, Scylla immediately runs towards the deep part of the forest, where the smell of bloodlust comes from. She summoned her scythe and slashed everything that was getting in her way.
“She's so damn fast!” Dawn exclaimed in his mind, while trying his best to keep up with Scylla. His mundane eyes can't even see Scylla's movement, as if she's one with the wind. Kung hindi pa siya nakasakay sa kabayo ay baka tuluyan na siyang naiwan nito.
Scylla reached the place and she was welcomed by an awful smell, she saw some people trying to fight and hold back the monsters but they were getting pushed back and overpowered.
Her eyes landed on the terrible sight of the wounded people lying on the ground, they're almost soaking in their blood ngunit ramdam niya pang humihinga pa ang mga ito.
Nararamdaman niya ang pagdating ni Dawn sa kaniyang tabi na naghahabol ng hininga. Mabilis niyang nilibot ang mata sa paligid at halos lahat ay abala, kapag hindi nailabas ng gubat ang mga 'to ay paniguradong mamamatay sila at mukhang walang balak pumasok ang mga healers sa gubat.
There's not much time.
She needs to think and execute an immediate plan.
Scylla's felt her eyes burn, it glowed brightly revealing the ambers of the universe inside of it.
Her palms sparkled and released a dark mist that hovered the land of the forest.
“Shadows... I call upon thee, come forth.”
And slowly, from the dark mist. Shadows emerged, and out from the void, a body was formed.
Dawn was shocked while looking at the entities in front of him. Tall shadows, with faces dim with the abyss of darkness; veiled with white hood that cover half of its chest. Their eyes are flickering into gold and green, and their arms are covered with dark armor tinted in a speck of gold, it also has a huge scythe behind its back. It's emitting dark blue fire with its bodies, but what caught his attention the most is the black halo with thorns above their heads.
“What... the actual fuck... is that?!” Dawn exclaimed while eyeing the shadows. Pakiramdam niya ay mawawalan siya ng ulirat sa nakikita.
The shadows glanced at him for a second and didn't even bother about his existence.
“We greet, the Mistress.”
They all bowed their head in front of Scylla.
“There's no time, evacuate these people out from this forest and bring them to the nearest healers, while the others fight the monsters here,” The shadows immediately heed Scylla's command while Dawn stands on her side, completely frozen.
