RHWB 111

[It took three days to finish the job, sorry. We made a second floor for a house, it was wide so it took three days to cover them with cement.

Just a back and shoulder pain but everything's okay. The schedule will be back to normal again, probably tomorrow, just give me rest for one night.]

Capitulo 111

In the National Organization of Nightbreakers, the people who were tasked to keep an eye on the current status of the situation in York New City were sweating so hard. Just a few minutes ago, they received strong fluctuations of distortion. Rift Distortion usually happened and their job was to inform the government to send Nightbreakers to exterminate the monsters. It was the typical procedure. However, their hands kept shivering as they typed on the keyboard while answering the phone at the moment.

They were filled with tension, the whole facility was struck by this event and they were having a hard time coping.

They understood the danger of this current predicament. Millions of people are going to die if they don't act fast.

"We contact the International Government and they will dispatch numbers of God-Class to stop the monsters from rampaging."

"How long?"

The head of the office asked.

"It will take five to ten minutes."

"…That's not enough."

Five to ten minutes, it may be short but they knew that the monsters were on a rampage right now. These monsters won't wait and they will continue to slaughter the innocent civilians in the surrounding.

"Yes! We received information that Ex-General Somatorio and his Arma, Terence Romeo, is in the York New."

One of them shouted.

"Really! A pair of God-Class is there! Contact them immediately!"

"We already did, General Somatorio said that he will try to maintain the damage until the reinforcement arrived."

It was good news but no one dared to celebrate. They knew that people were dying right now.

The people who were monitoring the Rift Distortion grimaced. Based on the fluctuations, it would take around five to seven hours for the Rift to close. That period was enough to destroy the whole city.

While the Rift Distortion was open, Nightmares could enter and leave the Thera whenever they want. But most of the time, instead of leaving, Nightmares keep pouring out of the Rift to devour humans.

Rift Distortion does close by itself, although it depends on the size how long it will be closed. And this Rift Distortion was so wide that even the Higante could enter without a problem. It was bad.

Higante are creatures that wreak havoc. Because of their massive size, they could destroy tall buildings as if they were walking in the park.

"… Please, let's hope that no God-Class will show up."

To be honest, a pair God-Class Nightbreakers could stand against a God-Class monster equally. But it always leaves the place in annihilation. No one would be happy to see their homes to be destroyed.

The people who were watching the live broadcast of the Rift Distortion swallowed their saliva. They were praying that the worst scenario won't happen. As long as that certain category won't appear, everything would be fine. They didn't want to reenact the tragedy of Vadane.

………
……
…

But it seemed that heaven gave them the worst-case scenario.

………
……
…

Dust flew everywhere and people were having a hard time breathing and seeing. The graduation ceremony was close to the place where the four Higante crashed.

People slowly heard the loud thumping, it seemed like the Higante were starting to stand. After that, everything would definitely be demolished. This species was famous for that job.

Jeanne pulled two things out of her space rings. The first was Elixir and the second was a broken sword.

She tossed the Elixir to Keenan who was frowning because of deep pain. His Hands were shattered and he couldn't move them well. He was confident in its defense but it didn't mean that his Hands are indestructible. He didn't have a choice but to take the impact because Suzy and Fantasia were going to get hurt if he did nothing.

Not that it matters because he didn't regret it anyway. Suzy was just a normal person while Fantasia was a Class-B, they will receive fatal damage if he didn't protect them.

Keenan didn't think twice and drank the Elixir, he had to heal his body. It didn't take long for him to regenerate, even at this moment, his focus was always on top. He took a deep breath and glanced at Fantasia.

Despite having a cold expression, the woman was clenching her fists so hard, she was definitely struck by this event, yet her arms were still covering Suzy. Suzy was shivering and clutching the hem of her shirt and Fantasia held her tightly.

"Fantasia," Keenan grinned and said, "reset your mind."

Fantasia nodded and brushed her hair up. Then, she tied her hair.

"Fantasia, you have to protect Suzy."

Keenan stared at her eye to eye, he was serious.

"I know."

"Thanks."

Keenan and Fantasia both stood. Keenan's body turned into dust and materialized into a sword. Fantasia grabbed the Katana and checked the surrounding.

Fantasia activated the Third Skill, Scabbard of Frost, and the blade was covered with crystal ice.

"You know what to do, right?"

Jeanne asked her niece. Fantasia lost her fear and determination rose in her chest. The technique of resetting one's mind was helpful. She had to thank Keenan next time.

"Good, I like what I'm seeing in your eyes."

She chuckled and raised her broken sword, it was an Artifact. The item that she cherished the most. Yet she decided to use it in this battle, Jeanne understood that this event would be dangerous.

"I'll cover you while you're retreating."

"Un."

She stated and Fantasia nodded.

This place was dangerous so they have to retreat as far as they could.

Suzy, who was afraid the whole time, yelped when she felt like something grabbed her body.

"Don't worry, that's Keenan's Skill."

She turned to Fantasia, she bit her lip, and trusted her. Suzy felt like a pair of Hands were holding her. Just like what happened earlier when the four Higante crushed to the ground, a pair of Hands protected her too.

Suzy was elevating in the mid-air while both Fantasia and Jeanne started running away from the Rift Distortion. With their current strength, it would be suicidal to face the monsters. Perhaps a God-Class already traverse the Rift and entered the city. Staying here would be a terrible idea.
