Capítulo 198: I’ll Do My Best Too
I could see everything that was happening, the snipers started to shut down their main threat, the flying creatures.
Blake knew the potential problem that the flying beasts were for their ranged fighters and sent 3 people to fend them off from the building. They already had a low number of snipers so losing even one of them was something that they couldn't do.
In the front lines, Gerhard was protecting one of the flanks, he was one of the strongest people they had by far, but his weapon wasn't for defensive purposes or good to hold back the beasts that try to penetrate the center of their formation.
I could see as the hammer fell on top of a weak looking pig, the scene turned gory and I didn't want to see that. Hayley was observing the battle at Blake's side. She wasn't acting yet, probably Blake wanted her to save her strength and be ready to act later when the stronger beasts arrive.
On the other side, Spence finished adding the fuel on the forest, this wasn't directly seen by me, but the images were sent directly into my mind by Dante, it fell as I was seeing two movies at the same time.
The battle was ongoing on the east gate, they resisted the attack without significant problems, most of the casualties were taken back with different injuries but none that left them in danger. If Spencer didn't act early in the morning as he did, we would have been taken by surprise, and this would have been a disaster. Thanks to the early preparation we did, they were coping with this beast invasion without having any deadly causalities yet.
The amount of beast was a lot higher than those at the west. I looked farther away to the limits of my clairvoyance.
Another thousand beasts were waiting there, I didn't have spencer's ability to know the ability to see their auras, but I was still capable of see some physical trait that gave them away. There were hybrids, semi-humans and giant beasts in between this group, those are the real strength of the eastern army, the Alpha isn't in sight unless it's smaller than the others or one of the ones I mentioned… but in my mind, the Alpha should be a three-story sized cow.
If the Alpha wasn't in this group, it meant that there is still more power in her army. And that cow already proved to be smart enough to plan ahead and change the plans accordingly to the situation.
Knowing that we were ready for the invasion, the cow was most likely going to adjust the plan and look for some kind of advantage or change the strategy.
*MOOOOOOOOO*
As I expected the second group started to move, but they split into two groups. The first was going to reinforce the first wave. There were no giant beasts in that group, they lacked the space and mobility to do real harm to our group, and they would most likely harm their own team if they weren't careful Instead, the semi-humans were the ones leading the reinforcements. More flying beast also came to take down the long-range attackers.
The second group wasn't moving on the main street as we wanted. I had an idea about what they were planning. The giant beasts started to attack the blockades trying to open a second road and flank the main defense group. I jumped down from the roof and turned into my astral form to fly there to tell Blake about it as soon as possible.
On the other side, Spencer started his second try to achieve resonance with Dante achieving mixed results. It wasn't until now that I noticed that Stan was there too. He stood by Spencer's side defending him from the few beasts that dared to get near him.
I landed next to Hayley followed by my pets. I turned back to my material form.
My sudden appearance surprised her and Blake.
"Rose, don't scare me like that."
"Sorry, I had to come fast, there are high ranked beast trying to destroy the blockade in 7th."
Blake acted right away and send people to handle it. Around me, some people looked at me with curiosity… I know in their face what they were thinking, when did this girl arrive?
I couldn't handle the gazes anymore and decided to leave. I kept watching the situation in both places. A unit was dispatched to harass and see the situation of the group that was trying to destroy the blockade,
I left the east gate and went back to the refuge. Isabella left to help in the hospital, and Cai-Cai was playing with Dana while Hayley's Dad looked after her.
"Lucy go play with Dana and Cai-Cai."
Lucy tilted her head, this was the first time that she was away from me, but she has seen Dana all this time playing with Dante, so she was familiar with her. Dana was happy to see the little bunny and started to pet her head to calm her down. I smiled and looked at them for a while before going back to the roof.
The next part was dangerous, and I can't take her with me. At my side Paws was stretching and rubbing himself against me.
"You are nervous too right?"
The little panther purred peacefully as I touched his head and talked to him.
The Alpha arrived at the place where Spencer was. When I saw Stan running away, I got mad until Dante explained to me that Spencer sent him to set the forest on fire.
Spencer was single-handedly fighting with the D-Rank beasts, he was in a dire situation…
'Shouldn't I go to help him?'
'Not yet.'
It pained me seeing his fight, dodging each attack with millimetric precision, as he countered continually.
In the east, there were no signals of new movements, with the intelligence from the Alpha cow I knew that another attack from another side was possible, but I saw the sea of rats stomp a little unit leaded by a two-story sized bull. At least we don't have to worry about the attack from another side with them covering us.
The harassing that was coming from the squad led by Milo managed to slow down the advancement of the unit that wanted to flank us too.
I saw the smoke rise from the west, in the main battlefield other people also noticed that something was going on in the forest, I could see the worry in the faces of the people that knew about Spencer's mission.
They didn't have the time to worry, the semi-humans have arrived at the frontlines, and not everyone was able to go against them. The first death followed soon after their arrival. Mark managed to defend himself from one of the semi-humans but the second shielder fell soon after.
The morale that until now was high but the sudden loss of two of their comrades hit them hard.
Blake stepped forward almost instantly. Hayley pointed with her hand her first objective and acted together with Blake.
Gerhard moved from his post to face a different D-Rank beast with Watson's help. The snipers focused their fire using their armor penetrating bullets.
They should be all right.
Spencer on the other side was facing the worst problems.
He was already running away towards the fire. Each step each dodge and each wound made me think of appearing there to help him right away, but I knew that I only had one chance, and if I lose that chance it would be most likely the end for both of us…
Six semi-humans were soon taken on fights by our elites, the first one to fall was the one that fought with Blake and Hayley. After that Blake jumped towards the next one, the situation was out of control, the appearance of the D-Ranks from the east invasion forced our elites to focus them, this gave space to weaker beasts to bypass our defense. Hayley concentrated on the beasts that have broken through the frontline.
Spencer was spitting a black liquid, was that ashes from the fire?
He was already surrounded, and the Alpha already caught up to him. One of the beasts spat more fire towards him sealing his path.
He barely avoided the Alpha's attack, that followed the firing of the toad.
I saw it on his face… he was talking with Dante about something. He wanted to try something stupid and dangerous. I couldn't wait any longer. I promised him to do my best too.
'Now~.'
Before his signal came, I was already midway in moving to Spencer.
I used Astral Portal and appeared in front of him facing the Swamp overlord's attack.

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…'
