Capítulo 199: Last Resort
My eyes were fixed on the figure in front of me.
Rose's ponytail swayed left and right in an almost hypnotic movement… I don't recall using any type of time abilities, but I felt like if everything around me was happening in slow motion.
The ringing in my head from the notification was something I already got used by now.
I did my best to grab Rose and pull her back, I don't want us to die together… not like this… I couldn't reach her. I saw her moving her hand, and it was followed by a cracking sound.
I heard her desperate scream… or maybe it was both of us that screamed.
Rose's figure was launched back and bumped into me… All I could do was hug her as I was pushed back by the Alpha's strength too. It took a while for us to stop as we rolled on burning grass …
The smell of the blood reached my nose at the time that I saw that Rose's arm was bending in the opposite direction.
I felt my soul leave my body…
'Please don't be dead… please don't be dead… please…'
The heat evaporated my tears, I was desperate, my aura view confirmed that her situation was critical, but she was still alive. Her arm turned back to the normal position as I used time healing.
Thank god…
I could feel her irregular breathing and her heart beating. One of her tattoos was shining, the little black paw on her arm. I didn't notice before, but she was surrounded by a black and silver aura. Paws was with her. The next second a bunny appeared from inside me and entered her body and lighten up another tattoo.
The feeling of desperation and unwillingness was gone… she is alive… that was all that mattered.
I put the mask and the holed jacket on her to protect her as much as I could. I looked around to see what has happened.
We have rolled about 50mt, the beasts that were attacking me before appeared and surrounded us once again, but this time there were no signs of the Alpha.
Around me, the heat was already burning my skin, but I didn't care that much anymore. A burn mark appeared on Rose's hand, and I healed it back right away. I looked at the beast surrounding us once again…
I was enraged… and not even cold mind could suppress my feelings right now.
I couldn't protect her… and that was the biggest mistake I have ever made, that feeling was engraved on the most profound part of my soul.
My mind went blank, and hundreds of images flowed inside. My head hurt… I saw myself hugging rose, I saw beast running away in fear I saw their worries and unwillingness… the ones looking at us didn't know what to do…
Why are they confused?
Where did the Alpha go?
I could see all the fears, feeling and even memories from the beasts if I push myself a little… that's right I could see the ongoing fight in the east gate too.
With Rose unconscious in my arms. I started to move to the water source I saw it on one the beast mind. Every time I saw the minimum signal of a wound on her I used time healing… no Beast dare to get near us…because I subconsciously started whistling as I walked.
Every mind in the swamp and the East Gate could hear it… but the expected effect only fell on my enemies…
Why are there so many images in my mind?… Is this how Dante sees everything? … It was scary, it was painful…
Together with the whistle, my killing intent was imprinted in the deepest part of the mind of the beasts… these were the consequences of hurting Rose… I needed them to understand that… I could see what they were thinking… none of them could protect themselves… I feel that if I want I could destroy their minds if I wanted… if I found that Alpha I will most likely do it?
A red liquid fell on the jacket that was covering Rose.
Is that my blood?
I was getting dizzy…
Was it the smoke? The jacket was soaked on blood that came from my nose. That's not normal.
…
Is it the ability? Maybe I'm overdoing it…
'Dante?'
No response… I had to stop whatever is it that I'm doing, the beasts are running away already I shouldn't continue… We should be safe for now… Green Shelter should be safe…
…
I found water with this we might survive the fire… I felt the images disappearing from my mind…
Everything went black, and I fell with Rose between my arms.

'The time limit is getting closer, and he doesn't seem to remember that we should do this mission!'
"He has a lot of thing in his mind right now… he will talk about it soon don't worry."
'It's not that, but I got this feeling that I don't think we can pull this off that easily ~…'
"Why? If you two have the same mentality, it should work right?"
'Maybe but I feel that it is not that easy… remember with Lucy? your Soul Purification haven't achieved that same level again since that fight with Jamie right~?'
Rose knew that it was true… if she was able to bring that power that easily Spencer would have awakened already. She understood Dante's intentions.
"You want me to be in danger?… Why did you tell me!! You know I can't lie!"
'No, no! Spencer would kill me if it thought of something like that!! I wanted to know if you reach a similar conclusion than what I got … Don't worry I'm going to make sure that the topic doesn't come out.'
'Something similar?'
'It's more about the image, if we want to achieve resonance I feel like being there just the two of us isn't enough, when the time comes, we might need someone else to be there, so the will to protect, that is most likely the way to go, can be ignited… there might be some danger involved, but I don't plan to endanger someone's life,.'
'So, you want me to be there so he can see me and want to protect me?'
'I just wanted to discuss it with you, with your Astral form you are not going to be in real danger, and if you are there with your real body you might be in real danger… probably Hayley or Gerhard are better candidates since they are most likely to be around him in a mission and in the case of an emergency they can protect themselves…'
"He is waking up can we talk about it later?"
'Ok,~ he is going to tell you about his dream… I think it's about that soul poison you purified.'

'Are you sure~?'
'Yes, I think I will be able to change between my material and astral form easily with some training. With the current strength that Hayley and Gerhard have displayed it would be tough to make Spencer think that they are in danger unless their lives are really threatened…'
'I don't know Rose, even if we try to control it, you still are going to be in danger… I still think that they are better options, and who knows maybe we can manage to achieve it without anyone's help. That's why I haven't talked about it with anyone.'
'Ok, but I just wanted to make clear that I can help, and that I will not be in danger unless the beasts are in the Astral realm to attack me.'
Dante sighed
'Okay… if healing Ines doesn't work, we will need to find another way… but don't do anything unless I tell you ok? Our priority is to do it without help.'
______________________________________________
(That morning)
'Rose this is really dangerous~ I don't think it's a good idea we should forget it~, the ability it's nice and all but it worthless if someone dies!! There are two Alphas involved~!'
'I'm not going to stay here watching you two endanger your lives!! I want to help! And you know as well as I that with me there our chances go up! You say that is worthless if someone dies, but you are going head on to fight don't you!?!'
Dante was conflicted as he talked with the stubborn and worried young girl… she softened her voice…
'I will be okay… and if you don't help me, I will act as I see it fit anyway, I'm not gonna lose any of you. Also, I have been exploring my abilities, and I think that I might have a method to handle the Alpha.'
'… If I didn't know that you can't lie, I would be calling bullsh*t~ and thinking that you are telling me to accept this plan ~.'
'I know how it sounds, but I have been thinking for a while, and if everything goes well, I think I really might pull this off. Think of it as a last resort.'
'Might?? What if it doesn't work!!'
'If Spencer is in danger, I'll bet on it, I told you it's the last resort... call me when everything else has failed… I'm not losing you guys!'
'… Let's say that I agree with you… what is your plan?'
'I want to expel him from the Material Realm…'

Capítulo 200: Rose’s Disappearance
"Die f*cking beast!!!"
Gerhard was fighting against the weird pig-faced humanoid beast. He swung the hammer from the left to attack for the fourth time, this time the pig-man was forced to receive the full hit, He was pushed back a couple of meters, at first sight, there were no significant injuries on him.
How can it be so strong? Was the man-bull that Spencer fought that strong too?
To be honest, Gerhard wasn't using his full strength either. He knew that this was going to be a long fight so he couldn't risk depleting his energy so soon, or he would be unable to do anything when the night comes.
At least this strike hit… the previous attacks missed the target, unlike what you would expect from a pig based semi-human it was fast…
The reason that this time he managed to hit was Hope.
After he hit the semi-human, he moved back… he didn't need to wait to hear a bullet pass near him.
The bullet pierced through the pig-man's leg again. The first was on the thigh, this time the bullet fell on the calf and exploded on the impact. The pig-man lost his balance and fell back.
Gerhard tried to attack, but he was attacked by the other beast around him. He managed to fend them off and back off as the pig was taken by some beasts and protected. Two beasts were blown by the hammer sometime later as Gerhard vented his anger product of leaving the pig escape.
To the west the smoke coming from the forest made everyone nervous, for some, it was the signal that the things were going to get worst, for the ones it was the signal that Spencer was doing everything he can to prevent the other invasion. Those that knew about it could only pray for him to be okay.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH"
Gerhard looked to his side and noticed a guy heavily injured by a beast… his was writhing in pain on the floor, the guy didn't have a weapon with him and apparently was trying to bring a person with him out of the battlefield.
Some people that weren't part of the hunting teams were moving the wounded and giving first aids, so the number of deaths doesn't go up. From the looks of it, the man was injured by a goat that somehow managed to get to that place.
The goat started to move slower and after a few seconds was frozen on the spot before it could even try to finish the job.
Hayley was one of the busiest persons in the battle. After killing a pigheaded- bull with Blake, she worked to control the beasts that were leaking inside the formation. The ice statues that were around the battlefield kept growing.
When she heard the scream, she had to act and froze the goat that has managed to arrive at the place where they were trying to gather their wounded. The people in that area started to panic after the appearance of a beast. Hayley moved there so she could protect them, she was a long-range fighter so she could move freely and be equally effective.
Her presence had a calming effect on them, and it didn't take that much time for them to start working again. The man was heavily wounded and was taken to the field hospital by his partners.
Gerhard couldn't move from the place where he was, or the left flank of the formation might fall if another D-Rank came, he ordered Watson to go help and guard Hayley. He followed the instructions and moved to protect that area.
Far away to the east, the rain clouds appeared as predicted in the morning by Spencer.
For Gerhard these were bad news, the lack of sun will decrease his fighting prowess by a lot so he had to at the same time save his energy and deal all the damage possible while he can.
To the north, the sound of a building collapse stopped the fight for a second.
Blake was in the middle of fighting the D-Ranks, while Milo was already assigned to the unit in the north, so the strategy and orders were given by Leon.
As soon as he heard the fall of the blockade, he sent half the relief troops to the north, even if it could mean the loss of fighting prowess in the future, he couldn't allow a flank to succeed under any circumstance. It was impossible to reassign people from the east gate since their hands were full already, so all he could do was send the people that were supposed to reinforce them if things go wrong.
The relief troops engaged in the north.
Another shielder fell after being pierced by a bull in the east gate.
There was no end to the creatures that were attacking, at least they couldn't attack all at the same time or surround them. Otherwise, the fight would be over by now.
After the last piece of information that Rose told them they had no idea what was going on at the west.
…
In the middle of the fight, a weird feeling made everyone shiver. The beasts were no exception, and a whistle sounded in everyone's head…
The battle stopped, no one knew what was going on.
The beasts stopped their attack when the whistle started, some were trembling.
As if a signal to retreat was given, a chicken started to desperately run away from the humans… soon more and more beast followed the chicken just leaving behind some beasts that were too scared to move.
"What are you waiting!!! Attack!!"
Blake didn't know what was happening, but this was a chance that they couldn't waste, he ordered to continue the assault as he punched a D-Rank in front of him, a hybrid between a goat and a sheep. The electroshock made it faint, and it was finished by the people around. Soon the humans attacked with renewed energies and started to kill the beasts that remained behind.
The beast started to fall, some reacted and ran away like the others, but the battle ended with the unexpected win of a confused human side…
Some humans chased away the beast for a couple of blocks and then let them go away, others started to handle and help with the wounded.
From the north blockade, Milo came back together with Zak. He had left the rest group to guard the place and called Giorgio to block the street again.
Leon was coordinating the transport of the wounded to the hospital, and Blake was still looking to the east in the case that the beasts come back.
"Is everything okay here?"
Milo arrived next to Blake and informed him about the situation in the 7th street. Just like in the east gate, during the middle of the battle, a whistle started to sound, and the fight stopped, filled the beasts with fear, and made them ran away.
"What was that whistle…?"
The mention of the whistle was heard by the rest of the people, everything was so surreal that they thought that it was their imagination but hearing about it from their leaders they understood that something else was going on.
"I don't know it was like I could listen to it directly in my mind… do you think it was Dante?"
"Dante is in the forest with Spencer… he shouldn't be able to reach this place and… I think their hands are full right now."
Blake turned around to look at the smoke rising from the burning forest. Milo noticed Blake worries as he followed his gaze, he knew the dangers that Spencer's mission involved.
"If you want I can lead a team to see what is going on."
Blake didn't need to think about it too much, for better or worst they need to know what was happening in that forest as soon as possible.
"Go talk with Rose to see if she knows something before you leave."
"I'm going too."
Hayley was near them and heard the conversation, she was also worried about Spencer and Dante. Blake nodded, he knew that it was impossible to keep her here anyway.
…
Hope and Gerhard also joined the group, as well as another five people.
As Blake told them, they started by looking for Rose, but it was like she vanished from Green Shelter…
Gerhard was desperate, the only lead they had was that she left Lucy with Dana for a while, but the little bunny suddenly vanished not too long ago at the same time of the whistle, according to Dana she went to help Rose and Spencer.
No one knew how she knows that, but if it was true, it meant that Spencer found some kind of trouble in the swamp and Rose on an impulse went there to help him.
By the time they left Green Shelter the sky was already covered by the rain clouds.
