Chapter 68:

Towards The End

The Creature Hunter: Soul Of The Wind


Then he slowly started to explain,

"I came here almost five years ago, and I've been trying to get out of here ever since. That is correct.

I've been to countless places and done research. I had put people in danger. I broke some rules and did things I shouldn't have done. And those were all for today and they are true too.

I don't know how many different solutions I've found with how many different thoughts so far. But I must say, that I can't do it like this. 

I can't leave people here like this. 

I was the one who helped you two with this, I was the one who told you about the vortex, and I may have dragged you all the way here.

Maybe that's why we owe each other.

But that doesn't mean that the only people I owe are you. I have people here who have helped me over the years and people I need to help. Maybe I can forget the happiness that I felt here, but I can't forget the pain that I have felt. And since it is like that, leaving them like this is something I can never, ever do."

Then he added once more,

"If you call it cowardice, you are free to call me a coward for life. But do me a favor and get out of here."

They didn't want to go, and there was a very big pain in their heart. It was hard to leave, but they had to.

As they left, Orano said,

"Say hello to my mother instead of me, okay?"

And after that, they left there with teary eyes and ran for the vortex.

But as they were about to leave, Nuzuki quickly started to fly towards them and tried to hit them. 

Luckily, Tatsumi quickly went after him and prevented his attack at the last moment. And as they pushed each other once more, Nuzuki grinned and said,

"So you've been coming up with a plan all along? Then you don't mind if I check what that vortex is for, Do you?"

Orano gripped his sword and said,

"I will not let that happen!" And pushed Nuzuki way back.

And as they stood in front of each other, Nuzuki said loudly, grinning,

"Are you still going to struggle, even though all your friends have been caught? In such a pathetic and desperate situation, are you really going to aim for victory, even though you can't reach it?"

He then added,

"You're really pathetic."

Nuzuki was right.

Valdis was getting choked by Achilles and he couldn't move. Rai, on the other hand, had lost his hands to Neo's slowing spell and could not move anywhere. And Neresu was captured by the clones of Orpheus, which held him from the many places from his body. 

They were all captured by The Orwells they were fighting, and they were all in a difficult situation.

Nuzuki said while still grinning,

"Now it is the best time for you to give up now."

But right at that moment, when he said that, Kono shouted from the other side of the lake,

"I will not let my friends get hurt like this!"

Then he hit the ice hard and shook every enemy on top of it.

Since the ice was created with strong elemental magic and dark spells, it didn't break easily, but the vibration that Kono created was easily feelable at that moment. Every enemy that got in their way, every creature, and every person shook very strongly and fell to the ground.

Thanks to him, Valdis, Rai, and Neresu were now able to escape from the situation they were in and united with Kono once more. 

And except Rai, they approached Tatsumi and stood beside him. Now four of them were standing beside each other and looked at Nuzuki that was flying in the air and looking at them.

Then Kono said,

"What's on your mind, Tatsumi?"

Although he had no friendships with him, Kono still spoke to him in an honest and reliable tone. It seemed strange at first, but Tatsumi took it as normal and responded,

"We are now very close to the end. We'll finish it."

Valdis grinned and said,

"So we're ending this, huh? This is going to be fun."

Then Poteus responded with a serious manner,

"The enemy line is now in a weakened state. If we attack with the right strategy, we can take them down and move forward."

Tatsumi then looked at Nuzuki and said,

"Then get ready. Because from now on, we will not back down."

They all shouted at once,

"Alright!"

And they all started to move away from there to deal with each enemy. They left Orano there, and he was now against Nuzuki once more.
