The Queen of Death Return
Wishing Peace

Edward felt nothing, his eyes still in a closed position.

"Huh, still got a chance." The sound of someone looking exhausted.

What the hell's going on?

Edward opened his eyes slowly. Seen faintly, magic energy was protecting him, the masked man was restrained by that magic energy.

"Your turn, A Four!" shouted A Three who was preparing to use another attack.

A Four leaped towards the masked man with iron claws in both hands.

*ting!

The attack was successfully directed at the masked man, but the man repelled it easily, moreover he only used his bare hands.

Supposedly.

A Four swung his right leg upward, an attack that was fixed on the man's chest.

*bush!

The masked man threw down A Four with just his aura producing a gust of strong wind.

Edward regained his senses and grabbed the bowgun at the desk.

At the same time, A Three ran while throwing eight daggers simultaneously towards the masked man. The eight daggers were fed with a sharp aura.

The masked man easily avoided it, but the dagger returned to him aiming for the back of his body.

*crack!

The dagger managed to stick in the back of his body, but there was something strange. In an instant, the masked man disappeared. A Three ran straight aimlessly and stopped right in front of Edward.

"Where is he?" ask the confused A Three. The dagger that stuck in the man's body also disappeared, not even he could feel the Mana in the dagger.

A Four got up and immediately rushed towards where the two of them were.

"What are you doing here?" asked Edward who was trying to get up.

"Of course, we want to save you!" answer A Three.

Edward was silent for a moment, as if he could not believe the actions of these two people.

"Don't you hate me?" ask Edward again.

"Right, we hate you so much. You're too lucky to be loved by her, but ...." A Three stopped continuing his words.

The atmosphere became silent, the two people still wore annoyed expressions.

"In that case, we don't want to make Miss Saraya even more devastated by your death here" A Four said.

"You ...." Edward seemed moved, hearing words that might be impossible spoken from their mouths.

"Be quiet, at least you're not dead." A Three still had an annoyed look on her face.

"h-huh. But, does Miss Saraya know about this?"

"No, we rushed back when the dagger I had in this place detected something. When we came back here, it turned out that as expected, the assassin protecting you was dead." replied A Three.

A Three can use its dagger as a detector if any unidentified individual enters a region. The mana in the dagger will disappear and give the signal code to A Three.

"Who's the masked man?"

"I don't know, but he's probably the man behind the caoy deployment."

A Three looked both annoyed and curious.

My dagger has been drained Mana, I should have been able to detect it, and also he must have been injured. Even Miss Saraya had trouble moving because of my knife stuck in her body.

"We have to look for him" said A Three.

"No, our priority now is to rescue the servants hiding in the basement" Edward said.

A Three looks upset, but he can't argue because Edward's words are true. The safety of the servants is preferred.

"Alright, I'll be on standby if there's an attack." A Four prepared with his feathered claws.

The three of them walked towards the basement. Edward was still in a staggering condition with the help of A Three to walk.

The bodies of the soldiers were lying along the road, very dark, the thunderous sound of lightning made the atmosphere even more gripping.

The masked man killed them all mercilessly, silently, and undetected at all. Doubt arose in Edward's mind.

The lightning came back blaring, the lightning light showing something in the hallway. The shadow of someone standing right in front of the three people.

The three of them stopped instantly. More precisely their footsteps felt heavy, the aura of intimidation emitted making them unable to move.

I can't move? If it wasn't for the lightning flash, we wouldn't have noticed his presence.

A Three was trying to resist the pressure holding her body.

The lightning once again blared, a flash of light revealing a figure standing before them.

"You ...?"

That man is a masked man. However, his figure looked different from before.

"Run, and save the servants. I'll hold him" whispered A Four.

"Omong empty what are you saying?! We'll beat him back"

The masked man was already right in front of A Four in a position ready to hit him.

With incredible reflexes, Edward immediately shot with his bowgun. A Three did not even have time to prepare because of Edward's reflex speed.

The masked man tilted his head faster than Edward's firing reflex.

*bugh!

A Four was hit by his punch until the hand of the masked man pierced through his stomach.

"A Four!" A Three stabbed towards the chest of the masked man with the rest of his dagger.

*crack!

No one expected, A Three's two hands were cut off in an instant. The masked man didn't even move in the slightest.

"Girlgigyoo!" A Three shouted loudly in shock at the sight of her two severed hands.

The two people fell while enduring the pain, especially A Three who continued to groan in pain. While A Four just tried to close the hole in his stomach while enduring the tremendous pain of losing a lot of blood.

The masked man walked up to Edward, at the same time Edward kept shooting at him, but all in vain, the masked man seemed to know where Edward was going to aim.

What the fuck?! Can he see the future?

"What do you want?!" edward asked in anger.

The masked man stopped his steps, he raised his head to look at the ceiling of the room.

"Want, huh? Hmmm .. My purpose is so noble that you do not deserve to hear it. But, answer me this question, then I will answer your little curiosity," replied the masked man with a heavy voice.

Edward thought he wanted to shoot him immediately, but he abandoned his intentions. The strength of his current enemy had yet to be measured as he had easily defeated two of Saraya's eight strongest subordinates.

"Do you think humans can defeat gods?"

"God?" Edward looked confused. He did not understand what the masked man was saying. "Not a Goddess?"

"Hmmm .. doesn't matter."

Edward was not a follower of the Holy Church, he did not believe in the justice they offered.

"Rather than defeating him, I wish I could meet him and ask him one thing. Why didn't he create a peaceful world without war?"

At first glance Edward imagined the world of his dreams, a peaceful and beautiful place. A breath of fresh wind blew past him, his hand clasping the hand of a woman. The woman's eyes looked at him happily.

Beautiful life, if it happens, I won't let Saraya suffer.

"Humans continue to fight for their dignity, killing each other. They're homeless, they wish there was a helping hand from someone. Someone who will guide them to know the true meaning of life. I've seen with my own eyes, all built with trust. That trust makes us stronger" Edward continued.

Edward recalled the times where he and Saraya were helping the displaced. With the leadership of Saraya, as well as Edward's ingenuity, they united them all and created a place called the city in the Abandoned Land.

"Interesting, I appreciate your answer. But all of that is just wishful thinking. The goddess doesn't care about it all, we're just dolls who keep entertaining her from the audience seats." The masked man pointed his index finger up. "However, I'll show her how to play the doll properly. I'll ruin the storyline he's made."

Edward really did not understand the man's words. His gaze was still too narrow because he had only cared about the things around him, turning a blind eye to the outside world.

"I think I talk too much. I'll end this." The masked man turned around and walked away leaving the three.

"Girlgig!" A Four ran with all his might attacking the masked man with his iron claws. His blood poured out to flood the place.

*Shelf!

Something entered the place by smashing the walls of the room. It seemed A Four was lying helplessly with something that had befallen his body.

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll let this creature send you to the realm of death. Ah, don't worry, six others will also catch up with you." The masked man disappeared without a sound.

A large creature was in that place. His body looks fat and round, strange mucus out of the folds of his skin. The creature's feet were also stepping on the A Four at the moment.

"What creature ... is it?"

The creature opened its mouth, a terrifying sight occurred. The mouth full of strange liquid was opened two meters wide. His hand grabbed A Four who was lying limp.

"Don't touch her!" Edward shot with the entire Mana enveloping the bullet.

*clap!

Bullets from bowguns only bounce when they touch the creature's skin.

Edward was speechless when he saw that A Four was already inside the creature's mouth, only counting the time until his mouth started biting him.

"Yetoooooo!" Edward kept shooting towards the creature, but everything was in vain.

*crack!

The sound of flesh being torn apart was clearly heard in his ears.

"IT FEELS SO GOOD. JUST LIKE THE WAITERS DOWN THERE." The creature suddenly spoke with a slightly resounding voice.

The voice sounded familiar to Edward's ears.

Wait ... the fat body is ...?

"Th-you?"

"HAHAHAHA! YOU FINALLY REALIZED!" The creature jumped straight at Edward.

Edward was resigned to his life, his mind was immediately empty, no matter what happened around him, he just wanted to end it all.

Connect ....

Happy Eid Day! Sorry to be born and to.
