《Devour》Chapter 25: Cloud

Inside the secret base,

"So you know the 'Hero of the East' Gil Dragon?" Said the Dragon's School student.

"Yes, why you ask?" His friend asks.

"You see, his son defeated the Chieftain of the Barbarian Tribe, the Ink Dragon or Lung Dragon! What's the difference again?" The Dragon's School student let out.

"Oh wow!" His friend said in surprise.

"So...what about Blink?" A magician asks on the other side of the room

"The guy with a good aim and weird soul weapon?" Her friend asks.

"Yes! I wish I could meet him or her," the magician confirms.

"Why is that?" Her friends ask.

"Well, Blink helped me on my last mission even though he's far away from me; I'm supposed to be dead," the magician let out.

Jio sits at the table in the corner like a lone wolf trying to be alone while listening to war stories from the people around the mess. After lunch, the group leader passed the word for everyone to stay at the mess hall for the all-hands call to discuss the next mission.

"Thank you for staying until now! I know that I promise that the last mission would be the end of the war, but the Blood Moon Cult was playing weak and caught the front line by surprise. They took over most of our supplies, and it's time to take it back!" The leader announces.

Everyone cheers shoulder to shoulder, hoping everything goes as planned.

"Today is the day... I know some of us won't come home, but I promise you that our family and friends won't live in fear anymore," the leader paused for a brief moment and continue, "Ready anything you need tonight! Securing the stronghold would help us win this war!"

Marching to the enemy's stronghold, and if they continue with the current pace, they reach the destination tomorrow night and plan how to take over the place. In the narrow valley surrounded by tall cliffs, when the sun is setting in the west, and the atmosphere starts to cool down, figures on top of the cliff, the front, and behind the group suddenly appear.

"Stay calm!" The leader let out, realizing that they're in a pickle, and continue, "Prepare to engage."

Surrounded and nowhere to go, the enemies stand like they are waiting for something, then suddenly, one magician holds three girls hostage and quickly separates himself.

"What's the meaning of this?" The leader of Jio's group angrily asks.

"I never want this... I never wanted to go to war, and everyone pushed me! So now I'm here with my three new slaves! This, this is the war I want," The rat said after he exposed what they planned as he demanded to have a position in the Cult.

The rat destroys one of the captive's tops and starts to laze his face to the girl's peak, and licks the tip.

While the other two girls are tied up, they strip and hold the other girl's limbs in the ground as the rat takes his Jr out, ready to pound the helpless girl's pearl. She closes her eyes while tears roll down her cheeks.

"I asked you out a month ago... But you rejected me," The rat said while the other men lustfully smile.

Someone tries to charge to the rat but gets killed instantly, while some try to fly away to escape but are only intercepted by magic arrows. People get killed one by one, and everyone thought that this is just a one-sided massacre.

When Jio looks at the girls that are about to get violated, he uses Jon to the ground, and index-sized spears come out the land, killing nine enemies, including the rat, and exploding and killing people around them, including the three girls while the parts and blood scattered around.

Using magic, Jio bends the cliff and covers the group with boulders all around.

"What about the girls?" The girls' friend asks

"I killed them," Jio coldly said with his skull mask covering his face.

Outside, a man shouts on top of his lungs, knowing who attack his men, "The Reaper! It's here! Be prepared!"

He is the person that Jio spared, the only person that survived to tell The Reaper's tale.

Bombardment by magic, the leader of Jio's group didn't waste any moment and command everyone a role.

"Magicians, dig through the cliff to climb the top, shoots all the enemies on site," The leader commands and continues, "Warriors, as soon as the rock boulder gets destroy, we attack! I rather die fighting than getting killed one by one!'

*The Reaper! I don't remember his face; I'll figure it out if we get out of this alive!* The leader thought

After the scene earlier with the three girls, everyone in the group doesn't want to leave and go back home, knowing that evil exists and no one will stop them if they quit now.

The Blood Moon Cult will pay!

Jio jumps out of the boulder rock and uses wind magic to clear the dust around the valley to see where the enemies are. The warriors follow behind him and charge to the enemies thinking that they are not killing a man but an animal without mercy, the only way to keep them away from their families and friends.

Even they outnumbered Jio's group; the enemies seem to be losing and start running away after The Reaper appears and someone far is shooting them one by one.

Blink joins the fight.

When Jio kills the enemies around him, he sees dead people with holes on their foreheads and knows that Blink is somewhere in the valley.

Jio wants to meet Blink.

After the enemies slowly get defeated, the leader of Jio's group notices that only three quarters survive the ambushed.

*I can not believe we survive today!* The leader thought and his holographic phone rings

"You look like shit, my old friend," The person on the other line let out.

"Can't help it! We got ambushed after one magician joined the Blood Moon Cult," The leader said

"Do you guys need some help?" The person on the other line asks.

"No, we survive! Thanks to The Reaper and Blink!" The leader happily let out and continue, "We must proceed with our plan."

"Copy that. My group will be waiting here," The person on the other line replies.

In the distance, a figure is slowly approaching the group, making everyone wary, and the leader said not to be afraid since he knows this person is and it's none other than Blink, the sniper.

Jio immediately went to greet Blink for helping them.

"Your 'The Reaper'?" Blink asks Jio.

"Yes, and thank you for helping us survive," Jio let out as he bows.

"I'm Cloud, and would you believe I'm from the other world?" Blink random said.
