"Maggots! You're all maggots and worms! I'll kill you all in his stead, for thinking that he could save you. I shall soothe my anger and frustration spilling your blood!"

Kinis blurred he immediately appeared in front of one of the caravan guard, after which a loud bang was heard and the guard blew up into a million little pieces.

It was a horrible sight.

Some men screamed, others fell to the ground in despair. I just stood there paralyzed unable to think nothing else but the fear of the monster in front of me. But then a sharp scream woke me up.

It was from none other than Kinis himself.

What was this!? Whats going on? Is he becoming crazier than he already is?

Why's he kneeling in pain. None of us new what was going on,but it definitely didn't seem like it was bad for us. Many of the surrounding spectators took this opportunity to flee from the scene, having seen Kinis actions they were not trying to fall victim to him.

There was already casualties from some of his attacks. We didn't know what had happened to Kinis, but this was definitely our best chance of escape. I suddenly heard my bosses voice loud and clear, he had made it through the previous bombardment, man was this guy lucky. Still i glanced at him and he was quite injured blood dripping from his face.

"Men! Secure the Transport we're delivering these items no matter what, this company always fulfills it's contracts, don't let Likus sacrifice be in vain!"

Everyone was bewildered and stunned for a moment.

Im sure everyone else was just like me, with the only thought in their minds to get the heck out of this place. But then to all of us, Mr. Reyas words were like a bag of bricks that hit them in the head.

Sudden realization hit me, we can't run away not as long as we haven't finished this job, Mr Reyas and the Village would never forgive us. We could never show our faces ever again.

This was a nightmare,but the more i thought about it the more i came to terms with it. The job has to be finished, if i want to be a Ranker cowardice is never the path.

I steel my resolve, and eventually slowly walked towards the Goods. At almost the same time it seemed as the rest of the men came to the same conclusion, all moving to defend the transport.

Those who were not of the Company on the other hand only hesitated for a moment before they ran as far away as possible from the scene of the battle. The place was devastated, all streets and buildings within the district were damaged in some way. It was like the aftermath of a War.

"You Scum!! Don't you dare move ill get to you soon and clean this world of trash like you. No one can escape my wrath! BALLISTIC ARCHERY!! Arrrgghhhhgg!!"

Kinis was screaming in pain, but the ethereal arrows forming above his head and the dreadful pressure exuding from him was still ongoing and ever increasing.

The man of the company braced ourselves with our strongest defensive stance. I had no choice but to do the same even though i had no such thing as a defensive skill or item.

Drats!!

Maybe i should've bought a shield instead of the blade, though i doubt it would've been any good against this sort of attack.

Everyone else who hadn't left the scene yet were now sprinting away in panic. A blanket of semi transparent reddish purple arrow covered the sky accompanied by Kinis dreadful screams as if each arrow manifested, was wounding his body.

Then the screaming stopped and Kinis gestured his hand towards the crowd. The arrows immediately flew straight towards us. This was it, this was my last stand at least im going out with honor. I could hear the gulping of all the standing around me, im sure they were just as terrified as me.

Then all of a sudden most of the arrows exploded mid air as if they had suddenly hit a barrier. The ensuing explosions were deafening, like a million lightning bolts had descended at the same time.

Mr. Reyas and the rest of us didn't know how to respond, once again it looked like hope had returned. How many times would we have to ride this roller coaster of emotions. Out of no where we hear a thunderous but familiar voice.

"If you are looking for me, than come to me don't go destroying the village and picking on those weaker than you. I also don't know how stealing my stuff will benefit you in any way, must you rob me of my belongings and dignity along with my rank as well, is this how the famous rising star Kinis conducts himself."

It was him it was Mr. Recondos, the villages strongest man. In his raised hand was his legendary weapon, "The Sundering Beast Lance". It looked like a rifle that was a very spiky lance at the same time, it also had a creepy eye on its side . I tried not to look at it.

Amazing, what a bad a**, now thats a town hero for you.

Came right at the most crucial time saving all of us with style, and a cool reprimanding speech to boot.

Kinis raised his head and looked towards the direction the voice came from. Eyes bloodshot, the rage and pain visible in his face. That clean cut imposing aura he had first arrived with was no where to be seen.

"So you finally show up you Coward, Jajajaja figures, as expected of a rank B Ranker, the vultures of the Ranker world, willing to do anything to keep that rank of yours. Alright Recondos today i admit defeat, i have no confidence in beating you in the state im in, im sure you've noticed it yourself, Jajajaja What? don't think i didn't sense you hiding in the distance. Regardless, your scheme worked this time, i didn't expect there to be another Ranker amongst the trash, but know this, your days as a Ranker are numbered and as soon as i drop you, this whole town goes down with you!"

Kinis scoffed one last time turned around and disappeared from everyones view.

And just like that The Ranker battle at Beans Village was over. People on the floor dead, the homes of people destroyed, but people would only remember the monstrous arrival of Kinis, and the resurgence and legendary sacrifice of the fallen Ranker Likus.

That is Potestera, that is the way of this world.
