within the bloody lands Eleanor stood straight, the wind that blowed made her tied up hair flow, in front of her stood rows of beasts, each one more ferocious than the other
the line of beasts that gathered seemed to have no end, in front of such a situation Eleanor stood calm, her beautiful face displaying a valiant defiance against the current situation
seeing it the demon on the sky sneered
âlet me see how much longer you can remain calmâ
saying so he snapped his finger and a timer with 2 hours on it was displayed
âsurvive for 2 hours and you can go to the next roundâ
as soon as the demons words were heard the timer began, all the beasts roared and started running towards Eleanor with the intent to tear her apart
seeing it Eleanor drew her bow, right now her power was suppressed to origin level 1, thereâs not much she could do
The bow Eleanor took was deep black in colour, it seemed to have itâs on life, she drew the bow and an arrow appeared, as soon as she fired the single arrow split into 10 accurately taking the lives of those beasts in the front
at the same time she started running from the beast tide, even as she ran her arms were steady and she continuously fired arrows, each arrow moved as if it had itâs on life reaping one life after another
but everyone has their own limits, soon within minutes Eleanor reached her limits her mana began to decrease and the speed of her arrows fell
the beasts tide behind her began to catch up, as soon as she fired the 10th arrow, several beasts had reached behind, seeing that a ruthless glint flashed in Eleanorâs eyes, she quickly started to pull her life force to break the chains binding her
but at that time a change happened, just as the beasts was about to harm her all of them were blasted back, at the same time a familiar voice that Eleanor missed was heard
âlookâs like master in is quite the pickleâ
just as the voice faded a young man appeared in front of Eleanor, his silver hair flowed in the wind and he had his back to Eleanor, his chubby face she remembered now being handsome
âAustin?â
Eleanor asked with disbelief, her little disciple had grown up, seeing Eleanor call me i turned around and gave her a smile, at the same time i activated a barrier around us stopping the beasts for a few minutes, after that i turned towards Eleanor who was still in shock
âdid you miss me master?â
as i asked that i walked towards her with a smile and hugged her, i could feel her body stiffen up, Eleanorâs hight was just a bit shorter than mine, so when i hugged her her head directly came to my chin
âi missed you a lot masterâ
as Eleanor heard my voice tinged with happiness, she relaxed and hugged me back too
âmaster missed you tooâ
the hugging scene would have been perfect if it werenât for the massive tide of monsterâs attacking the barrier and a 3 eyed demon flying above sky looking at us in disbelief
after hugging for a bit we let go, Eleanor then held my face and looked me up and down to see if i had any great injuries, seeing that i was okay she smiled
âlooks like you have grown up greatâ
her usually calm voice had happiness and a tinge of pride, she looked as if she was the one who pushed all the monster away
âhow did you come here?â
âi had been in the village before you came here, when i saw you i knew immediately it was you master, so i thought that i could surprise you, who would have thought something like this would happenâ
saying so i gave her an âinnocentâ smile conveying my intentions and it seemed it worked too as i saw Eleanor shaking her head, after that she came close and started pinching my ears
âyou idoit disciple, learning to stalk your own master huh?â
just as she was a out to scold me more, a cracking sound was heard, it seemed that the barrier wonât be able to hold on much longer
âHaâŠHa.Ha..kid i donât know how you got in without me knowing about it but in the end you are gonna die here along with that womenâ
just at the same time that demon intervened, giving on his signature smug laugh as if everything was under his control
âmaster, get on i will carry youâ
at the same time i bended down for Eleanor to get on my back but even after a few seconds i didnât feel anything, so i turned around to see a confused Eleanor
âwhat are you doing?â
looking into her face i saw both confidence and pride, pride as one of the most strongest peoples in the world, itâs then it hit me
âhuhâŠ..i become too arrogantâ
all this while the girls i dealt with were young ones with problems and issues, they were weak and vulnerable but the women in front of me isnât them
sheâs someone who stood at the top of the world sheâs someone who reached her position through her own power, someone with her own principles, she wonât follow what i say like some carbon copy, she knows what she should do
i closed my eyes for a second before opening them, standing up i apologized
âi am sorry master, it looks like i had gotten cocky, so what should we do?â
hearing my words Eleanor smiled, raising her hands she gave me a pat in the head
âlooks like you have really grown up Austinâ
after saying that she raised her bow
âlisten to me carefully, thanks to your shield i was able to get back most of my mana, once the shield breaks would you be able to make a path for us to escape?â
âyes, i canâ
i nodded to her words
âgood than leave the rest to me, i might not have all my strength but i ainât that weakâ
as soon as she had finished i had my bow in my hand, taking out a normal arrow i placed it in it, at the same time i thought of the figure of a women, one with black hair and eyes
as i did it a small dark crimson like flame appeared in front of me, as soon as it appeared it was as if destruction descended, the mana in the area started to get disrupted, even the monsters from the now breaking shield moved a bit back
their instincts were screaming of one thingâŠ..death, the demon above the sky shouted with surprise
âthatâs!!?â
Eleanor looked at the strange flame, even her instincts were screaming danger
âlooks like you have gotten yourself quite the secrets over the yearsâ
to Eleanorâs words i just gave a smile
âyou ready?â
âi amâ
