"what's going to happen to us if Lucian doesn't wake up on time." Soren asked with heavy breath as he jumped from one tree branches to another, the Ghuoit was chasing after him, thinking that he was Lucian.
"Don't worry, Lucian was already stirring up before we left." Luna's left a writing on the ground to explained the plans she made to Lucian, hopefully he won't be in too much of a hurry and ignores it when he wakes up.
'we will all be f*ck up if this doesn't work.' Luna thought. She didn't want to admit her fears to Soren, not when they were both acting as bait.
Luna looked behind her and increased her speed because the Ghuoit was getting too close and Lucian was nowhere to be seen, she expected him to be up by now.
"If we survived this. The captain is going to kick us out of the team." Soren said out in a worried tone and then gave out a sad smile.
'I know that Lucian won't like it when he wakes up and see that we have force our plans on him. But this is the only way to help that idiot.' Luna thought.
"Lucian isn't kicking anyone out of the team, I'm not going to let him." Luna eyes widen in surprise as she saw the shadow of the Ghuoit raising it blade against her from behind. She let herself jump down from the tree, making the Ghuoit miss it attack. "Don't stop! Keep going!" Luna shouted out to Soren.
The Ghuoit didn't bother to chase after Luna and continue chasing after Soren. Luna continues running after them while occasionally glancing up at the tree.
Soren did a backflip after getting a signal from Luna that Lucian was behind them. He killed the Ghuoit and made the creature ruthlessly fall from the tree. The creature raised again and attacked Soren before he could place his foot on the ground.
The Ghuoit gave out a high pitch sound that sounded like a strangle growl as it face twist in an unnatural manner after noticing that it was fighting the wrong targets. Before it could move away from Soren, it was pin down by both Soren and Luna, who grunts as they refuse to let go.
"I refuse to believe that you don't have a weakness." Luna activated her magic and use it to scan the Ghuoit body. "There is nothing but clouds filled with a unique magical energy." She shut her eyes and focused move on the flow of magical energy in the Ghuoit, everything was flowing into one source that acted as the heart. "I found it." She grin. However her expression is quickly replaced with panic as the Ghuoit forcefully raise up again and violently shake it body to remove the human hands holding onto it.
"Where should I strike?!" Soren scream, he couldn't hold onto the moving Ghuoit anymore.
"The right side of it back, close to the upper shoulder!" Luna screamed. She lose hold of the Ghuoit as it manages to shake her and Soren off.
Her body flew to the ground and she quickly wrapped her hands over her head to protect herself from the impact of the fall.
Soren frown as he tries to remember Luna words, it felt difficult, he wanted her to point at the exact location to him. Lifting his sword and getting behind the beast, he threw his blade at the angry creature, the creature turned away and use it blade to cut through the flesh of Soren leg.
Soren shouted in pain as one of his knees hit the ground.
"You missed," Luna make attempt to hit the creature and then cursed she was missed also.
The Ghuoit blade slash through Luna arm.
From the top of the tree where Lucian remained unnoticed, he watches his teammates and knew that they were up to something because they had both tried to target the Ghuoit at the same spot.
The soft wind passed through Lucian, and him frown at the loose clothes he had on, Soren clothes. After waiting for what he thought was the right moment, Lucian jump down and used two blade to pierce through the middle of the same spot his teammates had tried attacking on the Ghuoit.
The Ghuoit movement suddenly stop. Beaten, Luna raise her head from the ground, her eyes went from Lucian to his blade and then a smile spread through her swollen face.
"You did it, run your blade through that thing before it somehow heals itself and comes back to life."
Lucian pierce his blade deeper into the Ghuoit unmoving body at Luna's instruction and then with all his strength move his blade downwards, separating the Ghuoit body, human blood splash on him and a strange thin silver thread covers his sword as the creature hits the ground.
"We…" Soren felt out of breath as he stuttered, he could hear the beat of his heart in his ears. "We…. We won, Captain."
Lucian glared at Soren.
Luna use her fingers to touch the blood that stains Lucian face, making Lucian turned his attention to the ruins creature. "I'm sure that this is human blood." She examine the creature torn out body that was filled with a little human blood and many silver thread. "what exactly is this?" She lightly grip a blood stained thread that has been wrapped into a ball in the creature body to acts as it heart. "I don't think this thing was ever alive."
Lucian gave the creature a long thought. "A puppet?" He asked, "those that means the Master is somewhere watching?" He glanced around his surroundings but he couldn't feel a different present, still the human blood in the creature body made no sense.
"Or maybe the last meal the creature hate was human beef." Soren stretch out his arm. "Stop touching that nasty thing, it is finally dead. Let's not worry about it anymore." His voice was filled with irritation.
Luna threw the bloody thread ball in her hand away. "Let's return back to Reed and Marta." She start healing herself.
A dark expression came upon Soren face as he thought of Reed betrayed.
"You two go ahead, I have something else to do."
Luna frown her lips as she gave Lucian a suspicious look that couldn't be seen.
"If you don't return back on time, we will come searching for you again captain." Soren said. Lucian gave him a lazy wave of hands in response.
'if this creature is a celestial being, I'm sure that it master is from the heaven realm.' Lucian thought angrily. 'there must be a way for me to be able to get to the heaven realm.' he use his broken system to change out of Soren clothes.
—------------------------------------------------------
'Pathetic.' Caspian thought as he watches Storm shout 'no' over the lost of his puppet. 'how weakly did you create your puppet to be easily defeated by a human.' he shakes his head in disappointment. 'This new batch of humans from the other world… How do I describe them? Strong and troublesome at the same time, like annoying toys which refuses to break after hitting them countless times against the ground.'
Dark cloud covers the heaven realm.
"Storm." Zinnia called out in a icy tone, "Control yourself, if Dunstan get involved in this, then all my support had been nothing more than a waste."
"Don't stop him, let him cry like a baby because of a human Zinnia." Thalric snicker. He was sitting with the others who along with Zinnia were watching Storm attempts to kill Lucian.
"Storm." Zinnia called out, "The first time you use a human blood create a Ghuoit, I was impressed with your ability that goes beyond just controlling the weather, I think that was when I acknowledged your ability as something that was worthy to be among us, but now, your Ghuoit doesn't seem special anymore." Her voice carried an empty tone.
Storm ran a hand over his long white hair, "I can send more. They had struggled just to kill one Ghuoit, but with two, no, three Ghuoit after them, they are all going to die this time."
"You seem to have forgotten who you are." Caspian said, disgusted by Storm behavior, "You are not Zinnia servants, you are also a god in this realm, who cares about if she approves of you or not."
Zinnia scoffs and openly glared at Caspian.
"stop feeling like you are something, the only strong one who's in authority in this realm is Dunstan, and not you." Caspian voice out in a sharp tone.
Orion gave out a dry laugh, "Caspian is right Zinnia. Lower that disgusting tone of yours." his voice was serious and full of anger. Letting Zinnia to control Storm was an insult to the other gods in the lower rank because that means they also had to follow her commands.
Caspian place a arm over Storm shoulder, making him tense up. "Relaxed. It was just a puppet." He hide his disappointment. "you are free to always send more, you don't need anyone permission for that." He narrowed his eyes at Zinnia.
Thalric was amused by the scene before him, then he gently clap his hands. "Alright. Alright. Everyone calmed down. I'm sure Zinnia didn't mean it like that." He lied.
