"RUN!!!"

Ben's shout brought everyone out to reality. That was all they could think about. Run!.

Behind the thick fog Ben saw through with Lucy's holographic vision coupled with his enhanced eyesight he saw a tsunami... made of earth. It towered more than two hundred metres into the sky. Destruction befell everywhere and everything it went through. When Ben saw this, he could only say what he thinks can save them.

Scratch that, he believes even of they were given wings they still won't be able to escape this disaster. So, putting every ounce of energy into their legs they ran madly.

Ben knew he could easily outrun the rest but he wasn't that type of person to do such to a fellow teammate. Sliding his hands round Zoe and Evelyn's waists he lifted them over his shoulder and ran. Cush who was already way ahead of them was now behind them. Ben's natural speed was just that crazy after practicing the postures described in the Relief Posture Sculpture.

Seeing Cush was falling behind he held out his hand to take Cush's, pulling him along. An extra burden was added but he felt it was worth the risk and effort.

He wasn't a saint. Agreed

But he'll try to save them if they could be saved.

Then if they can't? He'll save himself.

Upon all the effort the Earth tsunami kept shortening the distance between them. It made Ben feel, if he takes half a step the Earth tsunami takes three. There's no way he could outrun this thing!

A group of four humans were running for their lives at all cost. This was naturally Ben's group. Only now did they realize how huge the Badlands really is. Doesn't that mean they've been moving when battling the army of Undead previously.

"Let's go over that hill!" Cush shouted pointing at a hill northeast from their position. Ben looked at that direction and immediately went for it as he continued pulling Cush.

It is said that a 60 year old elemental swordsman can run for miles. It is also known that he would have to t take stops and rest for a while before continuing. However, Ben and the others had run for almost eleven miles straight without stopping for once.

ROOAAARRRR!!! RUMBLE!!! BOOM!!!

Fortunately they made it to the other side of the hill before the tsunami could get to them. Yet, they were still sent flying more than one hundred metres above the ground on impact.

A FEW MINUTES LATER...

"Urgh!" a low grunt was heard from the distance underneath some pile of rubbish, wood, stone etc.

"Ben! Evelyn!" Cush shouted trying to stand with the pain screaming all over his body. He was looking for any sign of them.

Ben was able to throw both Cush and Zoe on time farther away allowing them to barely escape a real earth wave. But he and Evelyn weren't so lucky.

"Ben! Evelyn!" Zoe too after resurfacing from piles of rubble call for them.

"Evelyn! Where are you!?" Cush increased his voice louder hoping they could hear them.

"Over here! I think I've found them. Quick!" Zoe felt two Life Forces within the rubbles in a distance away. It was quite risky since they aren't sure it really is their friends. But if it isn't them, then what could give two Life Forces asides her and Cush in the middle of the Badlands?

They both came to a pile of rubbles and began digging. They couldn't explode the rubbles fearing that might actually kill those inside. Slowly but steadily they dug their way in. After digging deeper than five feet, no one has the mind to joke at a time like this.

They were literally in their grave!

Finally they saw a hand but didn't know whose. Cush used his manly strength to lift up a giant pillar from their view. When the pillar was lifted up Zoe gasp in horror.

"Quick lift them up!" Cush grunted snapping Zoe out of her shock. He was still holding the giant pillar.

Zoe helped Ben who was atop Evelyn out of the ditch. But the more she held onto Ben the more tears rolled down her eyes. An iron rod was pierced into Ben's shoulder and the wound was bleeding nonstop. His face was deathly pale, and by the looks of things he used his body to protect Evelyn at the nick of time.

***

"Where... Where's Evelyn?" Ben tried to stand but was stopped by a large hand.

"Stay down boy." Cush said.

Ben's vision was a bit blurring, he had to blink a few times to clear his vision. Ben saw the night sky with towering trees all around him. His left hand felt numb from pain. Tilting his head he saw his shoulder bandaged but blood could still be seen. Ben tried remembering what had transpired before he blacked out.

Becoming a Hunter.

Going into the Badlands.

Fighting the Tazzleworm.

Killing a teammate called Trick.

Passing a lake of man-eating Bloodbettles.

Fighting zombies.

Entering the manor.

Sye, Blood Magic.

Crazy demon girl.

Treasure vault.

Black rock...

"Cush, where's my bag?"asked Ben.

"You are lucky we were able to see it not far away from where you were buried. What is this black rock anyway? It glows and..." Cush asked bringing the bag from behind him to show Ben.

"And what?" Ben furrowed his brows. He hoped nothing bad happened to it.

"It's better I show you."

Cush brought the bag close to Ben and opened it, the black rock's purple and silver veins glowed within the bag. Right when Ben stretched his good arm to grab the bag Cush took it back a few feet.

"Cush, what are you doing? Don't try..." Ben almost got angry thinking Cush wanted to take the rock for himself. Seeing Cush shaking his head with his hands indicating Ben should wait that was when he saw it. The purple and silver veins deemed considerably. It now looked like any common rock, in fact worse than a common rock. Cush stood two metres from Ben, ten second later he came closer to Ben and like an indicator the black rock glowed when it came closer to Ben. "How..." Ben was interrupted when he suddenly heard off notes coming their direction. He didn't worry since he knew who were coming.

"Thank the heavens your awake. How do you feel?" Zoe said delightedly seeing Ben finally awake.

"I feel like shit." Ben sigh in frustration.

He saw Evelyn with her and knew she was okay but... a little too okay. Ben frowned at a thought, at that thought Lucy gave an answer that made his heart skip a bit. His eyes widened to hurriedly asked Cush.

"How long have I been out?" Ben asked in haste.

"Eight days." instead Zoe answered.
