Right after the bight sword left, before Satire could gather her thoughts. John suddenly vanished.
"Eh?" she unintentionally let out
'H-He was right there and just disappeared? W-what will happen this platform? Isn't it going to drop?!'
*Sigh*
After her faint sigh, she looked down at the ground once more and raised her staff
'Searching huh… For the culprit behind this… How will he even find the culprit in this chaos…? To be able to pull something like this…' Satire thought to herself
Magic circles were formed in the air, each in front of her staff at an equal distance from one another.
"This village doesn't really mean much to me, I'm also just passing by but…"
Another layer of strange pattern circles were formed over the already formed layers of magic circles. One was red while the other was blue.
As this happened, Satire's mouth was moving In an incomprehensibly fast manner without letting out a single sound.
"No point in holding back when so many people are in trouble…" She muttered as pointy edges began to slip out of the magic circle.
She closed her eyes and let in a deep breath once she was finally ready.
"E-Emperor Class Summoning Magic… Phoenix"
*GRRRRRRR…*
A quiet growl could be heard coming from the magic and blue magic circle as it increased in size. Upon that, wings began to stick out from the magic circles.
"Kill all the demons you see. Go." Said Satire with a cold tone
Following that, a loud deafening screech was let out as a blazing red blur dashed out of the magic circle at high speeds.
"Don't kill any normal people… Seriously…" Said Satire with a nervous smile.
———————————————
The temperature in the whole village had risen to the point where the ice on the rooftops were melting. As this phenomenon happened, everything in the village had gotten lighter and brighter.
The sound of a screech was heard by all, those who were in pain screaming for help and those who were quiet, hiding in their homes, doing their best not to attract the attention of whatever was rampaging outside.
And then there were the adventurers.
"ARGH… My EARS! What is that?!" Asked one of the adventurers as he turned to the source of the noise.
"FUCK! Another enemy!?" Asked another adventurer
"WHERE IS IT!?" A third asked
They all turned to the source of the sound which was above their heads before their eyes widened. Supreme. A being which could destroy them with a single stroke of it's wings.
A large bird engulfed in flames, no, saying it was engulfed would be simplifying it. More accurately it was as if the flames were the bird itself.
A long fiery tail which had the appearance of a whip. Long blazing wings, which appeared to ignite the air around it. Strange glowing scales on it's chest and a fiery peck which had a weird magic circle around it.
They were left speechless at the sight. Some had frozen completely still as they wondered whether or not they were going to have to fight that too.
"DON'T GET DISTRACTED!!!" A Voice shouted as it dashed right past them.
The instant this happened, the lesser demons in front of them, all suddenly froze up before breaking into tiny pieces as a cold gust of wind passed by them. They weren't able to see who it was, but they recognized him.
"That voice… That's the guild master!" Said one of the Adventurers who's opponent had been shattered
"Wait… If the guild master is here… Than that means we're safe…"
Or so they thought, but just as the thought of resting passed by their minds, they heard an unfamiliar voice
"Safe? Most have evacuated into the refugees which are being guarded but why not just destroy it? The guild master can't be everywhere" Said the voice
The attention of the five adventurers there turned to the source of the voice, and from there, they saw a man who walked straight out of the shadows
Short spiky black hair and a straight lined scar going down his right eye straight to his mouth. He wore a black cloak instead of a robe despite all the cold. On top of that, he had a strange pattern on his forehead. It seemed like a strange square with spikes flowing out of it. But the more you'd stare at it, the more it'd appear to change.
He looked over at his pocket watch before giving a quick look around. There were more lesser demons which were starting to surround them yet again, even though they had just finished the others.
"*Sigh* I lost the bet… They're working perfectly… Fuck… Why'd I have to gamble so much money…?" Asked the man as he closed his pocket watch
"H-H-Hey!! W-Who are you!? D-Don't you know the village is under attack!? Unless you're an adventurer, get to safety!"
"Yeah! Get out of here!! We'll hold them off for you!!"
Ignoring the warning of the two adventurers, the man looked at the sky and a smile replaced the bored look on his face.
"Whoa… What the fuck is that?!" He said with an excited look as he stared at the sky
A large bird on fire which was flapping it's wings. Each time it flapped, more and more fiery feathers would be formed beneath it. It had been stacking up feathers to the point where it had reached a surreal amount.
"It's saving them all up for an all out attack… Looks like things are about to get fu-"
The man was interrupted by one of the adventurers who grabbed his shoulder. He was a rather tall and bulky adventurer with a magic sword gripped tightly onto his right arm. He was definitely strong and didn't seem any weaker than a B rank adventurer.
"Didn't you hear us just now?! We told you to-"
However, before he could even finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped. And in that instant A spine chilling sound could be heard as spikes flowed out of him, ripping and tearing through his flesh as if they were looking for freedom.
*Crunch* *Spurt*
His blood spurted before his body was engulfed and devoured by the man's shadow. Yet it wasn't over. Dark swords were formed above the shadow, before piercing it like some sort of killer coffin, finishing his already finished body off.
As this happened, the man clicked his tongue.
