Chapter 9: Retaliation

As the monster walked in, the entire plan began.He sent black Silence energy around him, but that caused the strings around him to be cut, covering him in a sheet, in which thousands of different swords pierced the sheet, and cannons fired all into him. As the monster blew away the items, arrows hit him from all sides, and an old painting flew onto the beast.

"AnnOyING" he said, bursting through the painting, but as he did this, another cannonball went into his chest. he was knocked back, in which another barrage of arrows went through him. He then sent the Black Silence energy towards all of the machines, destroying them as they were covered in the gunk. But as he moved forward, the second phase began.

"Go!" Chubba said, as a group of recruits, low-ranking fighters, and a few major leagues attacked him from all sides. Anytime he tried to attack someone, Shen Zu got in the way, blocking the attack. But as the fight went on, More and More recruits were taken out. Some of them were killed, But it was a minor number as to what could've been. But as I watched it, I felt regret.

"D-Damn it.... All of those people.... dying because of me...." I said, as the fight continued.

"It's fine. We just have to wait.... and hope they can weaken him enough so you can handle him..."

".... No, I'm not letting anyone else die because of me!" I said, jumping down. I heard someone call my name as I stood in front of Ancfynu.

"Your enemy is here, Ancfynu." I said, Ready to attack.

"nO. yOu aRE nO eNEMY, bUt a CORPse. LiKE i DiD tO youR frieND oNCE I loST You!"

I stopped immediately, as I realized what he meant. GB didn't die immediately..... it was because of us running that he had died. I screamed in rage and rushed him. As I sent a cleave at his neck, he dodged and sent black energy into me. I burst musical energy out of myself to weaken it, but most of the musical energy was just sucked up by it. I then slashed into him once more, but the energy almost completely took the brunt of the attack. I just kept slashing, hoping to land a hit on the monster, but he took it all, with the attacks leaving only minimal damage. And then, he sent musical energy into me, burning me as it went through the suit of armor I wore, right into the core of who I was..... I fell out of the suit, completely unveiled in my ghost form.... I could barely think....

"GooDBYe, SiCARioN....... UnTIl tHe NEXt TimE!"
