Chapter 48: Rantaroge Beasts

Orion clawed the man, again and again, with his fiery beast-like claws as the man smirked. He casually sent a normal wave towards the boy, thinking he would be down in a second since his attribute was Fire.

|| What he did not expect was his wave evaporating because of the boy's fire ||

"H-How...?! Your attribute is weak to mine!!! This is not possible--"

"Of course, it is, ya' old man! Use your head a little, would ya'?!" Orion headbutted the man, his hands grabbing the man's shoulder tightly.

A big red mark was on the man's forehead. Shizuka sweat-dropped at the boy's method, almost forgetting to cast her spell, "Sixth Wing!!"

Orion jumped out of the way, making the man stumble because of his force. The sixth wing slashed the man's abdomen, making him backed up. Turning into a sword, the girl moved behind him and slashed his back.

He knelt, blood coming out of his mouth. Orion and Shizuka both dealt with the final blow together, with Orion clawing him with his fiery beast-like hand and Shizuka slashing with her sword from behind.

They both huffed and puffed as Shizuka sat down. "Haa... Four wings left, huh?" Shizuka looked at her wings in the back as Orion offered his hand to the girl, slight pink brushing his cheeks as he looked away.

"Come on. Let's go help the others." The girl brushed off his blush as she took his hand, stretching her limbs several times before she went on, following the boy closely.

"Hohoho~ They managed to defeat two, eh? Then how about the other two, hmm~?" the man Sena was fighting chuckled in amusement as he successfully injured the ghost and trapped him in a silvery black cage.

"Urgh!! You won't get away with this! Those children are stronger than you think."

"Oh, I know that~ The fact that they managed to defeat two or even the demons back then was quite a feat, if I do say so myself~ HE will be stunned upon hearing this news~ Until then, farewell~"

The man disappeared, leaving the ghost alone inside the cage. Giant chains grew out of the white floor as they bind the cage as well as the panicking Telarocks. Sena frowned as he's trying to figure out a way to heal his injury and get out.

Of course, that was not his top priority. His light-grey pool or orbs searched the Space for the four children he was with before. Now that the Telarocks were all quiet down, it made it easier for the ghost to find them.

|| Not that he didn't care about the creatures, it's just that they're... a BIT noisy ||

His light-grey orbs finally landed on the black-haired male fighting his female opponent. He searched the other three, but to no avail.

Vinnetra used two red daggers made out of his Blood Magic. They've been at it for a while now, and no one was backing up. The woman slashed relentlessly whilst all the black-haired male could do was running away.

A scar was seen on his right cheek as his gym clothes were all tattered. It made him wonder just what kind of enchantments the put on them to prevent injuries, while they were easily ripped apart by the woman's attacks.

'Is it her weapons? No, those are just normal short swords. Did this Space neutralize the enchantments? Can it even do that?! Oh, whatever, I need to find the others--!!' he was brought out of his thoughts by the woman's scream.

"WHAT'S WRONG?! SPEECHLESS, I SEE? I'LL FINISH THIS QUICKLY, DON'T WORRY!!! HIAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH!!!!"

'Ooh, that rhymes!'

"Blood Magic: Scarlet Stream!!!" Vinnetra aimed his opened palms at the woman as his back was towards the ground. A river of scarlet blasted towards the woman as it dyed her completely red from top to bottom.

She cringed at the colour while shouting curses at the black-haired boy. He sweat-dropped as he cast his next spell, "Blood Magic: Rantaroge Beasts!!!!"

Monsters with white eyes and black horns came out of the white ground. Their backs were deformed as their sharp yellowy teeth were visible. Their messy nails and scars all over their body disgusted the woman as she tried to get away from them.

|| Keyword: tried ||

One of the Rantaroge Beast caught her by the ankle, making her fall down with a loud thud. She screams hysterically as she clawed the ground, taking nothing with her since it was just a white Space.

"NO! NO!! NO!!!! GET YOUR DIRTY HANDS AWAY FROM MEEEE!!! I CAN'T DIE LIKE THIS!!! I BEG OF YOUR MERCY!!!! HUAAAAAA!!!!!"

She looked at Vinnetra with her puffy red face, ugly from all the crying and screaming. She begged him to let her go as she tried to grab for his feet. He looked at her from above, pity in his eyes while he walked away.

The woman suddenly became quiet and her face showed no emotion. The beasts surrounded her-- no scream nor yelling was heard. But one could know, even if they don't see, that the woman was as good as dead, feasted by the beasts of blood.

Vinnetra was watching over the caged ghost the whole time, so he quickly ran up to him. "Sena! You okay?" the boy checked the ghost for any injuries, gasping when he saw one and almost passed out.

"You are a weird one, huh?" Sena stated composedly, waiting patiently for the boy to destroy the cage. "Huh? What do you mean by that?"

"All of you are weird~ Fufufu~" Sena leaned on the bars as he watched the boy do his thing, searching for the other three once in a while. "Haahhh?! How are you laughing when you're hurt?!"

"You're also hurt but you're yelling and moving just fine~ Fufufu~"

"These are just scratches, old man! Now tell me what you meant earlier--UGHHHH!!! Why is it so hard?!" Vinnetra slammed the chains relentlessly as they slowly came loose. JUST slowly.

"You're nice at times, but can be weird in the weirdest ways--"

"What language are you speaking? Make it so I can understand!"

"Fufufu~ You'll just have to understand it as it is~" the ghost laughed merrily and eyed the black-haired male carefully.

"Ughhhh... Why do I even bother rescuing you?"

"Who knows~?"

"Shut it."

Isseiris sent spheres of water towards the man as he had no time to chant his spells. Vines of all shape and sizes were already on his tail.

"And you were supposed to be the 'Mr Perfect' in our class? Looks like you got some flaws too, eh?" Orion jumped in as he burned the vines with the simple touch of his hands.

"Orion, Shizuka," Isseiris called out and was breathing heavily as the platinum-blonde-haired girl walked up to him with concern adorning her petite face.
