Still at the same time, after crying hysterically before her now Altair just silent. His mind was empty, while he continued to run to immediately leave the village. They passed through every place carefully, if only the people who attacked the village were aware of their existence.

Niell did not stop holding Altair's hand with them.

" Look down, Altair. We can definitely get you out of the village" Niell said, calming Altair down.

" But where are we going?? I have no other destination other than this village, "sahut Altair.

" We can think about that later, let's hurry." replied Geas anyway.

They continued their way back to get out of the village, they were forced to go around in circles to avoid the mysterious people. And the village area also turned out to be quite large with many buildings that have been badly damaged, making the road quite difficult to pass.

" There!! Some were still alive there!!. "when a voice suddenly sounded out shouting at them.

" Fuck, why are they suddenly in front of us!! " said Geas.

" What should we do?? " ask Niell in a panic.

" Come back!. " replied Geas anyway.

They were forced to return to the direction they had come before, Altair was pulled by Niell was also just following them running. In a situation like this he doesn't know what else to do.

" Hamah.. Aunties.. What should we do??" asked Altair.

" We'll just run first...!! "

" Akh!. "

Suddenly, Geas pushed Altair and Niell away from him, as they headed to an intersection on the road they had been on. That's where... They are ambushed by the mysterious people, and Geas is blocking their way.

" Go! I'll hold them.

" Don't joke! We can't leave you here! And again... Altair had already reached her limit "Niell replied to her.

Geas turned his attention to Altair in Niell's arms, as he said. Altair was no longer able to run, and his legs were heavily injured.

" Ukhc... "

If only there was another way for them to go from there, but they were even more cornered in that place.

" Haha.. You can't run anymore, can you " said one of the mysterious people.

" If we can't get out of here... Then you will also not be able to get out alive from this village!! " said Geas.

He ran into a wooden pole supporting a house near them, and the house collapsed blocking the path of the mysterious people.

Bruck...

Geas knew it would be useless to stop those people, but at least it could measure time. Geas immediately approached Altair and Niell, who was looking at him in the back.

" Niell, give that thing to Altair" Geas said with a serious face.

" A, are you serious?? His grandfather said it should not be given to him now!" replied Niell.

" There's no time. It was also the only way to save Altair, " Geas said.

" What are you guys talking about?? " ask Altair confused.

Duckin...

They were also shocked by the loud noise of people trying to get rid of the burning ruins. Niell finally took the object referred to by Geas, and gave it to Altair.

" Altair, remember this. Never take this necklace off, nor ever give it to someone else. This is the only thing your mother left to protect you, "Niell told Altair, she put the necklace around Altair's neck, on the other hand Altair also felt a dejavu upon seeing the necklace.

Altair received the letter that Niell had given him, but he was still confused by it all at the same time he also had no time to think.

" I don't understand, but we have to go now! Come uncle, let's go. Aunty come on! " take Altair.

" You know Altair, actually we were planning to get married" Niell said.

" You guys are getting married?? " althair was surprised.

" Right, but it seems like fate says something else. Now you have to go alone " said Geas anyway.

" What..?? Are you guys going to leave me too?? Nah! I don't want to!! "

Yuck...!!

The mysterious people managed to break through the ruins, even to the point of attacking them with many arrows. Geas and Niell instinctively hugged Altair to protect him from all the arrows, so they both got hit.

Tears fell back on Altair's cheeks, at the same time he had to lose people who were precious to him at once. How he survived..

" Pa, uncle... Aunties... No. " said Altair.

" Live.. Altair.. For our sake." said Geas weakly.

" We will always.. It's by your side " said Niell.

That's.. Being their last words, the two died while hugging Altair who was still glued to his place. No matter if he was surrounded by bad people, no matter if the fire locked him in that place.

" no... Hix.. Uncle.. Aunties... Hix.. No!! Arghh...!! "

Her sorrowful cries echoed in that place...

******

Taps...

On the other side of the village, the Imperial troops arrived there as fast as they could, too bad they had not had time to save the people in the village.

" Captain, this village is already burning down. Are there any survivors?? " ask one of the troops.

" Even if there are no survivors, we must help them" said the man the captain had called him, or... Perhaps he could not be called a person, because he was not a human.

Yin, spirit animal two-tailed black cat. He was the one who led the Imperial army to come there.

And right in front of them at this moment, the people responsible for this fateful incident also came out one by one. Gathered in front of him without fear visible from their faces.

" Ho~.. I thought you guys were going to escape from the Imperial forces " Yin said with a serious face.

" Haha... Kalu is just a subordinate, for what to fear. After all, this Empire has lost its fangs since 100 years ago" said one of the mysterious people.

Yin growled angrily at that, "How dare you insult this Empire, I will make you pay for it.

The Imperial forces were also angry at the words of the man, making the atmosphere on both sides tense due to the feud between the two. The two groups are ready to fight each other, until unexpected events stop them..

" Boss.. The boss!! Nawat boss!! " one of the mysterious man's men sprinted towards his group.

" What are you doing this?? " ask the person the boss is calling by the running person.

" Mo, Monsoon... Hoo!! "

Jamb... Jamb.. Jamb..

However not yet had that fellow finished his words, he was suddenly pierced by three swords that were out of nowhere. The people who were there, even until the Imperial troops were shocked to see that.

A moment later, for a short few seconds, the atmosphere in that place felt as if it was frozen with bloodlust and an extremely strong power. Everyone turned their eyes up there, there was someone hovering above them with an extremely pressing aura. He was... Altair.

" the.. Who..?? " said the boss of the mysterious people.
