Excelium II: Hunting Season

Kabanata 95

Bonzo stared down at the girl's face as she pants. He squinted his eyes and straighten her back by raising her shoulder higher. "Oi, don't f*cking show me that weakened state of yours. You look ugly."

A smirk formed on Zai's lips as she continued panting. She gave him a sideways glance, "Then does that mean you always looked ugly?"

Bonzo smirked, quite irritated by her words. "Haha," he sarcastically laughed and glanced at Trois who's currently dealing with Xhen. He then grinned at Zai as he point his face, "I'm more handsome than that freak though--agh!" Bonzo groaned when a rock suddenly hit the back of his head. He looked at Trois again with an irritated expression, "Damn you, Trois!"

The sound of crumbling ice was suddenly heard and their sharp eyes darted to Shaera's direction. Zai's sword was about to drop to the concrete but it suddenly stopped midair. Shaera motioned her finger and the sword flew to her.

The sword floated in front of her and she stared at the red gem in its hilt. Zai's eyes squinted when Shaera removed the gem and a sly smile formed on her lips as she chuckle, "Avis is truly stupid to give you this gem. Its color has changed but it's still the same," her sly smile got wider, "I was just about to search for this but since you brought it to me yourself, I don't have to use an incredible amount of magic energy to summon it. I appreciate your efforts, hatchling."

Zai and Bonzo squinted their eyes when Shaera began to rise from the ground. Her dress is swaying along with the wind as she smirk. She swayed her hand and they immediately covered their eyes when a blinding light came from her place.

When the light died down, they blinked a few times before completely opening them. They looked up and their eyes widen when they saw the pages of the books flying and circulating the goddess. Shaera said some words and the pages began to stop in front of her, forming a huge paper by pasting itself on top of the other.

Zai's eyes sharpened as she see the Origo slowly forming. The words on each pages are forming one word then another. Connecting to one another.

The last page placed itself on the top right of the huge paper and the gaps immediately disappeared, completely turning it into a huge and long scroll with some words written on it that they couldn't read. Shaera grinned and crushed the gem in her hand. When she opened her palm, the dusts from the crushed jewel began to move and it formed a pen. Her widened eyes showed excitement as she holds the pen, "Finally... FINALLY!"

She laughed out loud and spread her arms as she stare at the cloudy sky, "You will all disappear except for me! You hear me!? Huh!? Shoru! Odeana! Feiro! You will all regret what you did to me! You'll all disappear before me! For banishing me from that place, this will be your punishment!" her eyes squinted in pleasure, "Kindly accept your punishment from your one and only God!"

Red and black dusts came out from her body and started circulating around her as she let out her laughter. The Origo has a gold light surrounding it, illuminating the goddess who has a devilish smirk on her lips.

Some citizens looked back to know where the golden light is coming from ngunit nanlaki lamang ang kanilang mga mata noong makita ang diyosa. Muli nilang ibinalik ang kanilang tingin sa kanilang harapan at mas binilisan ang kanilang pagtakbo. The fear they're feeling only worsen and they panicked even more.

As they run, they kept on praying for the help of the gods. Hoping that they'll hear them. However, they've been praying and praying for months now but none was answered. The amount of hope is decreasing and lessening every passing second as they run with their tired and aching feet. Some have fatal wounds but they're forcing themselves just to take another step forward.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ng mga sibilyan at mabilis silang tumigil noong bigla na lamang may limang mga Hellion ang lumitaw sa kanilang harapan. Some children continued crying because of fear. The Hellions immediately ran to their direction. They were about to run even if it's impossible to get away from those monsters but they stopped when a man suddenly came from the side and in an instant, the five Hellions got cut in bits.
