Legendary Heroes (Mobile Legends Fanfic)

Chapter 43 | To give Life

"Is it going well?" Fanny asked Saber, looking at him while he watched the tournament from above. He stood on the edge of the building so that he can have a better view of what's going on inside the stadium. They were currently on the highest floor, the rooftop of the headquarters as a meet up location. "The Elf archer just died by Karrie's spinning light wheel, but Karrie isn't the one that attacked her. The light wheel was moved by Elf magic, I'm suspecting that Elion did it and then probably framing it on Karrie." Saber answered, suddenly sensing great power inside the stadium. It felt like a ticking time bomb about to explode. "Fanny, can you sense it?" Saber asked, slowly backing away from the edge. "I sense massive power, sir. An inferno like rage about to detonate." Fanny answered, the feeling of great power becoming horrific. "Attention, all spectators and champions. Please evacuate immediately." A robot like voice announced, it came inside the stadium. Everyone inside the stadium immediately panicked and screamed, rushing to the nearest exits, all people expect for the special guests that stayed inside.

Footsteps began to get close to the two assassins who are watching the stadium quickly go empty. "What a nice meeting place." A female voice said, their tone quite stern and cold. Fanny and Saber turned their heads to look at the direction where the voice came from. They looked at a woman who gripped on the handles of her two deadly looking blades, sharp and terrifying. She looked eerie nearby the darkness, her face unreadable. "Karina, you came. Where's Natalia?" Saber asked. They were almost complete, all they need is Natalia and then they can start the plan to kill the scholars. "Don't know, don't care." Karina answered bitterly, crossing her arms. "Did she do something wrong to you? You look mad." Saber asked again, hoping that Karina will give him a more useful answer. "She threw my beloved blades onto the snow when I was nearby the Queen of Nost Gal's territory so that I'll have to go with Estes." Karina answered, her bitter voice gone. "You must follow the Elven King at all times, or else Alice will have to control you, and you seriously don't want Alice to talk to Estes through your body." Saber said, hearing a sound of a muffled whisper.

The wind looked like it is being moved and disoriented. A sound of a whoosh can be heard nearby to signal that someone is close. "A very talented assassin you are, Natalia. Do you mind to reveal yourself?" Saber asked, intrigued by the technique that Natalia uses to make herself invisible. Her identity slowly revealed itself, her face hidden underneath her hood. "Thank you, and forgive me for the act that I did, Karina. Alice ordered me to keep an eye on you and force you to follow Estes if you deny. You are aware of my chains." Natalia said, lifting both of her arms to show a wobbly looking chain around the wrists of her hands. It emitted a red glow. "These chains can control my actions and allows Alice to know whatever I am doing. This is to make sure that I won't be able to attack that demon by using my invisibility technique." Natalia added, hinting that she's frustrated at her chains. "Well, I hope you'll be able to get rid of it. Let's go finish the mission, time is wasting." Saber said, going towards to where an elevator is built.

Not too far from the realm of Eruditio. Layla, Clint, and Franco walked towards to the City of Scholars. Layla let out a groan, her legs trying not to wobble and collapse. She held the handle of her heavy gun tightly, not wanting anyone to hold it, but herself. They might break the malefic energy that his contained inside the gun, and if the energy is somehow released, any person who comes contact to the malefic energy will go savage.
Layla looked at the distance, only to see trees, fields and mountains. "We've been walking for days. Can we rest? I'm sure we won't be late." Layla said tiredly, letting her legs fall down into the ground, her gun falling besides her once she let go of the handle of the gun. She panted heavily, looking exhausted. Clint patted Layla's back, helping her stand up to her shaking feet. "Want me to carry you, sugar?" Clint asked, looking into her beautiful eyes. Layla's cheeks showed a slight color of pink, quickly looking away from Clint. "I'm fine! You must be tired as well so you don't need to-" Clint suddenly carried Layla in a rather bridal style way. One of his arm around Layla's waist, the other supporting her legs. Layla let out a gasp, her arms wrapping around Clint's neck. "You scared me!" Layla did grumpily, looking at Clint who was snickering. "I'm sorry, and I'll be just fine. I can carry you all the way to the City of Scholars." He winked at Layla, making her cheeks red. Franco looked at the two, walking over to Clint to pat his back. "Nice move, boy. Very smooth." He leaned close to his ear to whisper. Layla looked at them, curious of what Franco said to Clint. "What did you say, Franco?" She suddenly, feeling Clint's body stiffen. "He sa-said nothing, sugar! Just an unfunny joke about a...a rabbit!" Clint answered for Franco, his stammering words showing that he's lying, but Layla let him pass. "Oh, all right then. Can we-" The sudden shake of the ground interrupted Layla's sentence, it sounded like a very large giant walking towards them. "We need to get out of here." Franco spoke, running towards to the forest. Clint followed behind him, trying not to drop Layla as the ground shook violently each passing minute. "Wait! My gun!" Layla said, instantly panicking. She'll regret everything if the gun that her father created somehow gets destroyed, it is her only memorial of him. "We can't go back! The fallen angel is here!" Franco said loudly so that Clint and Laya could hear. "The fallen angel?" Clint replied, curious of who the fallen angel might be. "His name is Argus. You do not want to encounter him, he'll kill you without hesitation!" Franco answered, stopping his tracks to hide behind a large tree that is surrounded by tall patches of bushes. Clint hid behind the large tree as well, placing Layla down. "We can't leave my gun out there! It's-! It's my only memorial of my father!" Layla said desperately, tears quickly forming in her eyes.
