Chapter 40: Curtain Call

Drops of sweat trickling down, the noontime heat burnt my soft skin. The once silent and peaceful field was now covered in blood, sweat and tears. Numerous spells flying from different side. People were fighting with all their might as if their life depended on it, ironically, it did. It was no joke that this war may be the last one.

Ashes from burnt wood entered my nose. The horrible stench of war continued to linger. People losing their loved ones in the midst of clashing. Numbers of ordians and chaeons continued to decrease. This was a battle towards extinction.

The once toe-to-toe battle between the two caucus slowly shifted. Soon, Chaos was trashing us. The enemy's overseer was nowhere to be seen. It seemed like he was killed by his own kind. The flow of battle started to switch to our favor once more. But everything stopped when he shot her.

Whilst I'm here, standing in front of the person I hold dear. She's dead. Jihyo's dead. She's gone, my sister, my parent, and most of all, my friend. Droplets of water flowed through my soft cheeks. Each drop hitting Jihyo's lifeless body in hopes of resurrecting her somehow.

"She's... She's Dead!" Dahyun cried out.

"No... No!" I screamed, whilst walking to-and-fro. This is not happening right? This is just a dream. Calm down, calm the fuck down Tzuyu!

The culprit started to laugh hysterically. He slowly took of his hood, revealing his facial features. It was Dahyun's father. That fucking bastard. I'll get him for this. He's done too much damage and I'm going to make him pay for it.

"My my, we meet again. Chou Tzuyu." The man clad in black robe spoke. "And you too Minatozaki."

"Shut the fuck up bastard!" I burst. "You killed my parents and you used Sana's! Now, you even killed Jihyo! Just what do you fucking want?" My mouth shot multiple curses.

"Oh I don't know, what do I want?" Replied nonchalantly by Dahyun's father.

"You heartless monster!" Sana shot.

"Hm? Did I hear a mouse speak?" He chuckled. "I'm afraid this is the end for all of you."

"For I shall take over Mir!" He added.

I clenched my fist in anger. "Not if I can help it!" I raged. With a quick motion, I was in front of him. I sent a quick punch which made him fly a few feet back. Sana quickly joined beside me, whilst releasing a huge dragon breath. "Good one." I complimented.

"I know." She replied imperiously.

"Whatever." I playfully rolled my eyes.

Our little conversation was interrupted when Momo shouted.

"Jihyo's alive! She's just unconscious!"

"Thank goodness." Sana sighed in relief.

"Awww that's cute." He spoke out. The huge smoke subsided slowly until it revealed his figure. Apparently, he was unscathed.

"Everyone fight off the others! Sana and I will take care of this bloody bastard!" I announced. "Don't worry about us, just go!"

"If you say so." Chaeyoung mumbled.

One by one, they started running towards their enemy's direction. Until, the three of us were left. Four, if you count Jihyo's unconscious body. His figure dispersed slowly, leaving us puzzled.I moved myself to lean on Sana's back so we could cover every nook and cranny, leaving no blind spot.

Unfortunately, he was quick. We were unable to detect his presence from above. A huge dark orb fell upon us. Both of us took a direct hit which honestly hurt like shit. I slowly stood up, whimpering from the pain I was experiencing. I moved my gaze to the black man, only to realize that he's dashing towards us.
