The battlefield became a total mess, all the krukins controlled by Sappho rushed towads the humans, they rushed too.
Sappho remained still, Darian and Eros did the same. Eros had started to lock his eyes again into the krukmongbee, the number, from 40 reached 22.
Now Sappho was not calling back the krukins that died, she simply kept them dead, now she was in front of Darian and Eros, behind her the krukmongbee.
"It's over... you are going to lose" Said Darian as he casted many ice shards towards Sappho, he was extremely weak and the shards weren't powerful.
The krukmongbee simply destroyed them with it's claws. At least that is what everyone saw, the krukmongbee saw something totally different, it was the cave thay collapsed, Sappho and the other krukins got all killed.
It was not what happened, but the number of the krukmongbee got drastically lower, it is thanks to Eros' spell cognitive fracture, the enemy would see a different future in which they have failed.
As the krukmongbee snappes back to reality it was extremely confused.
"You stupid krukin! go and become my toy!!" Shouted Sappho, kicking the krukmongbee from behind, it immediatly rushed towards Darian and Eros.
Darian immediatly created many shards to attack the enemy, but they weren't that much powerful, the krukmongbee simply destroyed them. As he was flying he stopped and created a strong sound.
He then rotated around and threw it's stings all around the room.
"Come here Eros!" Shouted Darian, Eros immediatly got closer to him and Darian created an ice wall, it was just able to save the two of them.
Many soliders fighting against the krukin, and many krukins too got killed by the stings. Eros watched some soldiers slowly falling, most of them weren't able to protect, while the others did it. For the krukins that Sappho created, lots of them died. Now the humans were more.
"My toys! You stupid dumb krukin!!!" Shouted Sappho, she them summoned some kruspy, it was basically her limit, she fell on her knee.
The krukspy she summoned all jumped on the krukmongbee together really fast, the krukin surprised could not defend itself and died.
"The last... one..." Said Sappho, she then retrived back all her creatures, she put all her strenght into the krukmongbee, who raised from the underground really mad.
"In the end they all became my toys..." Said Sappho before passing out, then from the portal entered Garwhole.
He looked around while flying, he simply smirked and then landed next to Sappho.
"Guess you had fun eh?" Said Garwhole then grabbed Sappho with his claws.
"Stop!" Shouted Darian and created an ice shard, but Garwhole simply destroyed it.
"How annoying" Said Garwhole, he then created a strong wind thanks to his wings, all the humans got sent away. The krukmongbee created by Sappho disappeared because she passed out.
The soldiers behind completely flew away and all bumped against the wall, many of them were gravelly injured so they died.
Darian and Eros were the only one that were still moving ahead, Garwhole smirked seeing that.
"You look strong... you probably are of that group" Said Garwhole, he stopped the wind from his wings. Darian and Eros barely had the strength to do anything more.
Garwhole grabbed Sappho's body with his hands, Garwhole was not strong physically, so he used some strength to threw Sappho's body into the portal.
"I would love to play with you... but I guess I wait..." Said Garwhole, then he entered in the portal too, which closed right after.
The humans were able to resist, Skar-Zhul did not fall, this is what Eros thought, but was it really true? the attack did not even seemed that it wanted to destroy...
Eros with some strength helped the few soldiers remaining getting up, Snowy came out from Darian's body. Darian then passed out.
"You did great Darian..." Said Eros, taking his body on his shoulder, Snowy passed out too, one of the guards grabbed it.
5 Days later...
Darian was laying in a bed, he immediatly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Snowy laying on him, the little fox was exactly on top of Darian's bendage.
"Ouch Snowy it hurts..." Said Darian, he tried to move it away, but his strength still wasn't enough.
'For how many days was I out? I don't remember anything...' Said Darian, then the door slammed, they were Vane and Liro.
"Guys..." Said Darian, he barely had the strength to speak.
"It's so bad Darian..." Said Liro, he walked towards the bed, Vane following him silently.
"What? didn't we won?" Asked Darian confused.
"Yes and no... they took Nysira away" Said Vane, his voice was lower.
"What?" Darian immediatly got up, he was still laying, and Snowy did not even flintched while Darian moved, it was still sleeping.
"But we were able to send them back... arghh!" Said Darian, his injury opened again, Liro went to call a nurse, Vane helped him laying back on the bed.
"Eros came up with the idea that the destruction of the city wasn't their main objective" Answered Vane, now the nurse arrived and she helped Darian.
"It means that we lost..." Said Darian putting his hand on his eyes, he was almost crying.
"Not exactly, Nysira isn't dead." Said Liro.
"Eh?" Darian watched him shocked.
"Come here Jaune, explain it" Said Liro, Jaune entered in the room too, he could barely walk, but he waved at Darian.
"They said something to me that time... but I could barely remember it" Said Jaune, he then sit on the chair next to Darian's bed. The nurse had just finished medicating Darian, so she went away.
"It was the smaller one who spoke... I could remember that he simply said come and get her back..." Said Jaune, he could not remember much of what Garwhole said.
"It looks a lot like a trap" Said Darian
Everyone agreed.
"We thought of this too... but we have to go, once we all rest, we have to save her" Said Jaune, he was really worried, he wondered what was now happening to Nysira.
"Think about recovering Darian, we will move once we are all rest" Said Jaune, 'he could barely walk and he already wants to go?' thought Darian.
On the black planet...
Garwhole just returned, he saw Sappho's body who was grabbed by Rhihamr and Anacreon who was bleeding.
Keeping 3 portals open requires a lot of strength, his whole body was still crying of pain.
As the portal completely closed Phocylides appeared. He was an old man, a really old man with long white hair and a purple tunic like the other humans here.
"Oh sir." Said Anacreon kneeing in front of him.
"Yo Phycylides" Said Garwhole flying over his shoulder, he walked to see Nysira' s body.
"Only one?" Said Phocylides a bit disappointed.
"Mantblast got almost killed, it was the only one we were able to take" Said Garwhole. Phocylides remained silent.
"incessant" Said Phocylides, as he simply walked away.
"He only knows how to say that word..." Said Garwhole annoyed.
"So now?" Asked Rhihamr following Garwhole.
"We will wait, we will basicallly prepare the best trap for these dumb humans" Said Garwhole, as he started to laugh in a weird way.
Because the voice of Garwhole was already strange and annoying, the laugh was even more bothering.
Now on the earth even more days have passed, Darian was able to fully recover, while Allen still needed some time.
"So Eros? When Allen will wake up we will go right?" Asked Darian, both him and Snowy were able to recover, the creature was on it's shoulder.
"We are currently waiting for some help" Said Eros smirking.
Darian looked at him confused.
"They might arrive soon... go out and wait for them Darian." Added Eros, Darian went out.
As he reached the door of the city he saw them... the Veilguard!
