Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 139: Disintegrated

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several explosions occurred at the same time in the eastern part of the city. The city that was already in a stupor was made into hell. Women and children screamed and ran in the streets engulfed by terror. Whilst some decided to fight back and others decided to escape in order to survive. Some people just surrendered their lives to the death.

It was a cruel and extremely horrific scene to witness. Dead bodies without limbs, bloodied streets and heartbreaking screams, the begging cries. The scent of smoke and blood. Brought out a scenario similar to hell. Thanks to Transgressors some of the slaves that were released also joined them and attacked everyone that fell in their sight. Regardless of their age and gender.

The elves that regained freedom created terror using their elven magics and the beast kins that escaped from the shackles were literally going on a rampage.

Among the chaos were two women panting heavily and running towards the east riding Krigons side by side.

"Do you think they won over him?"

Rafila asked and looked up at the sky.

"No..."

Cinzia uttered, noticing Razik that was flying towards the east. He threw two heads on the ground noticing them.

Thud!

Both the heads splattered on the ground one by one.

Cinzia gritted her teeth and pulled the leash of her Krigon and slowed it down towards the head and noticed it was Gregory and Jack's.

This time she was not blinded by rage. Her eyes were void of emotion as she picked up the heads and the sack nearby and dropped them in.

She understood Razik was trying to take advantage of her emotion. She felt empty. She thought they'd win believing in Nix and they both did too. What was the result? No one knows her potential more than herself and she clearly knew that she'd fail in fighting Razik and fighting other deputy commanders? She should just bury those thoughts.

"They died..."

Rafila said standing in the distance staring at her.

"This is nothing new..."

She uttered and tied the sack to the Krigon and mounted on it.

"Let's go."

She said kicking the Krigon.

Rafila nodded her head snapping back to reality and followed her Krigon. Cinzia sliced everything that fell on their path with Rafila supporting her with her spells.

They pursued to reach the eastern direction for an hour until they reached the border. They believed at least they could reach back to Theemai safely but the sight before them was horrendous.

"Hah Hah"

Both of them panted heavily and stopped their Krigons and gazed at the bloody sight. One of two mutinos was butchered, The forty men reinforcement was shaved into half. 

There were about twenty outsiders fighting against the five deputy commanders and four random members of Zerast. The battle seemed extremely one-sided but, thanks to Tarok, Camila, Dae Seok, and others.

"Yo! Lady Cinzia!"

Reegan yelled with a smile as he was exchanging moves with one of the Deputy commanders with a smile. 

Swiftly everyone's attention turned towards them including Razik who was busy fighting Tarok.

"Ohh? You again? Though you'll hide somewhere."

Razik smirked.

"What's his plan?..."

Rafila muttered inwardly and gazed at the others as her hands shook violently in fear.

Was this his plan? Did he want to sell out his clan members? No matter what, the losses were huge. Regaining members is hard.

'Is this your plan?' 

Cinzia's mind was rapidly thinking that Nix had failed due to his overconfidence. Though the clan war had just barely even started.

At the moment she was in doubt about him. Weird flying creatures flew towards the center of the City as everyone heard multiple explosions.

The city was burning fiercely in crimson red expelling a pungent smell. It seemed as though the east was pitied by the reinforcement.

"Hah, looks like the lord of the Transgressors Likes to have some fun."

Razik sighed and rushed towards his Mutino and all the Deputy commanders joined the ride.

Their prime goal was to safeguard the city as such they rushed towards the central part of the City where Zerast's clan house was located.

"We are saved?"

Camila asked her brother heaving out a sigh of relief.

"It seems so..."

Dae Seok smiled and walked towards Cinzia.

"Where is Miss Yumeko?"

It then did she notice that they lost her in the middle of the city. 

"We lost her in the center."

Out of nowhere, several people came rushing towards the east riding mutinos. They were all members of Requiem, The Turtles, and the crimson moon. It seems several of them survived even though they got scattered.

A smile bloomed on her face after concluding this was the best outcome he was able to come up with. Though she still had doubts about how he will be defeating Nate and all his deputy commanders.

Abruptly a wyvern flew past them at great speed as it entered the City.

"Is that a wyvern?" Reegan asked.

"Yes..."

***

Clutching his chain that was attached to a red cube hanging by the arms of a Draconian Nix gazed down at the immensely burning city.

There was none around him for an almost 10 km radius. None means no clan members were around him. They were all several distances away supported by the Draconians.

He spun the chain and shapeshifted the hook-like edge to normal that was attached to the red cube's top hole.

Boom!

A tremendously huge explosion occurred.

"Can you drop me?"

He asked the Draconian chieftain while gazing down at the dome-like structure, the massive building of Zerast.

"But, you'll die."

The draconian said in a gruff voice.

"I'll survive."

"I understand..."

The draconian replied and dropped him from over two thousand feet altitude.

Nix's gaze unwaveringly stared straight at the top of the dome where Zerast's flag was hoisted.

Followed by him several Draconians slowly descended and left Outsiders one by one to the ground as each of them threw a miniature version of the neon explosives, the red cubes. Every other outsider was several distances away from the dome except him. It seems that was what he ordered.

"The favor has been done."

The Draconian chieftain said gazing at Nix's back that was going down at immense speed.

He dived towards the dome piercing the dense air like an arrow feeling the gravity that was pulling him. He opened his inventory and pulled a huge neon explosive that was similar to the one he used back during the blood rain.

{Use me.}

Astorath said.

He pulled the dagger from his boots and stabbed the cube.

Crack! Crack!

After a few crackles, the dagger dug into it making a crackling shrill sound. He placed the Dagger towards his chest facing the dome's sharp flag post.

It seemed like he was going for a suicide move. Considering he had already viewed several possibilities this was the best he was able to come up with.

Neon explosive is a recipe Vikil came up with, within the time of emergency. This was surely an immense weapon of destruction and cannot be created by many. Rather it was a complex one to comprehend unless they are a genius.

The formula was so advanced and considering Vikil's talent it was surely easy work. But, can someone else achieve such a feat? Is a great question.

He can be considered as the Empyrean's most talented Alchemist. His circumstances and the era he was born in were rather a curse that buried him and wasted his talent.

Well, unless Vikil reveals the formula most can't recreate the neon explosives. Nevertheless, it is quite hard to find fire moths unless they go to the volcano of Draconian village which had the most abundant supply out of the whole Empyrean. They might find a few in Lerinare although Vikil's pet Doom ultimatum destroyed it over ages ago. 

In the end, they'll have to enter Theemai to get their hands on fire moths, and getting formula is another thing to be discussed. 

Within a second his body dug into the flagpost. The flag post penetrated both his body and the cube.

Zooom!

Followed by the single sci-fictional sound that released a red wave of repels encompassing the dome and few buildings near it. It exploded like an atomic bomb and completely decimated everything around it.

This was his second death. Everyone that witnessed the scene from the distance gulped hard. Although an explosion like that could literally break down every single particle of his body as he was in the center.

Amidst the blinding red flash in the center was Nix's body that disintegrated and splattering away in distance.

"For Transgressors! For Transgressors!"

The clan members applauded as though they won.

"Argh! Argh!"

A silhouette amidst smoke pushed a rock from the center of the building while coughing heavily.

"What?"

One of the members muttered.

Slowly an eroded walked out like an undead. Eroded and burned down body revealing his flesh, bones, and internal organs.

"Lord of Transgressors!!!"

The skeletal half-burned body screamed.
