Doomsday Pillars

This bird was Tiffany's pet mutated animal, a descendant of the mighty mutated beast Garuda. This bird looked as if it was the offspring of a hawk and an eagle that had been enlarged five times. It had white luminous feathers covering from its head to its neck, while its body and wings were covered with striking golden brown feathers. Its eyes were black with a faint golden glint in them, while its beak and talon looked terrifyingly sharp.

With a swoop attack using its sharp talons and a sweep from its wing, the bird managed to stop the assailants and kill two of them. Anas, who barely managed to evade the bird's wing sweep, was frightened by its prowess, however, when he saw that his targets were within reach, he couldn't just let go.

[Windwalk]

Swirls of air currents enveloped Anas's body as he activated the spell, enhancing his already impressive speed even further. Seeing, with corner of his eyes, another sweep attack coming from the side, Anas quickly dodged the bird's attack by jumping and somersaulting in the air, before he immediately dashed towards the easiest target in his opinion, the youngest daughter of Alex, the eight years old little girl, Tiarra.

Seeing the intruder approaching and intending to take Tiarra hostage, putting her in danger, Devita, who was right beside the little girl, did not remain silent. Even though she was not a spirit enhancer or a fighting expert, Devita didn't forget to and still continued to improve herself to reach Sky realm Knight.

Eyeing the intruders with indescribable tranquility that even she didn't know to possess, Devita took out an object, the newest created weapon, a double-action revolver with modified and improved bullets, [Magic Bullet].

BANG! BANG!

Two bullets fired from the revolver and flew through the air. As soon as Anas saw the object Devita took out, his alertness was immediately raised to the maximum, because he knew how dangerous and terrifying those bullets were. Therefore, he immediately dodged them, making the shots miss. Unfortunately, Devita did not have sufficient competence to use this weapon to its full potential.

Enhanced by his [Windwalk] spell, Anas quickly changed his path of advance and once again tried to approach Tiarra with his hands stretched out, intending to grab the terrified little girl. If he managed to capture the girl, Anas was sure that he could escape this island on his own and take her to the holy city. Even if he had to leave his 'brothers' to act as decoy and die, the mission would still be counted successful.

When the distance between him and Tiarra was only three steps away, the sound of gunfire was heard again. However, this time the sound was heard from a distance and was a little different. Realizing that, Anas's eyeballs immediately moved to the left in a split second, glancing at Devita.

When he saw Devita was currently putting down her revolver, a terrifying thought suddenly struck his mind, as his face immediately drained of any color. At the same time that thought arose, Anas felt extreme pain in his lower body and he immediately fell to the ground rolling. Casting his gaze at his feet, Anas saw his legs were gone, replaced by mangled pieces of flesh, a pool of blood rapidly forming below him.

Devita was shocked by the sudden gunshot and immediately threw her gaze to the source of the bullet. In the distance, she could faintly see a figure slowly coming out of the rippling water from her invisibility spell. When the figure was illuminated by the sunlight, Devita saw a woman with a rifle in her hand, Aria.

As if the shot was a signal, a group of fighters appeared together with Aria's arrival. Dozens of spells quickly flew in the air towards the red robed intruders. Dinda and Ark immediately provided assistance as one could see fire arrows darted through the air, piercing and burning red-robed fighters, while others were hit by flying boulders.

On the other side of the battlefield, thorny roots began to emerge from the ground and crept to the feet of several fighters in red robes, immobilizing their movement. And, as if that wasn't enough to send the red-robed people into despair, two shadow figures emerged flashing through the battlefield like lightning, finishing the immobilized fighters with swift and vicious strikes. The culprit of this sight were Raufgar and the twin brother, Oscar and Oliver. 

The five of them were all Sky realm Magus fighters Alex had assigned to guard the headquarters, thus their quick response and immediate reinforcement. When they continued fighting against the remaining Heavenly Gate fighters, Aria immediately ran over to Devita to prevent the unexpected.

When Aria reached the three people, she immediately said, "I'm sorry, sister Devita. I have been following him from the start, but he's just too fast. When I caught up to him, he was already with his men, therefore, I decided to go and seek reinforcement."

Hearing that, Devita smiled and said, "It's okay, Aria. We are fine, really.I am grateful for your help."

With Aria and the young eagle standing guard around them, there was only a very slim chance, very close to none, that Alex's family could be in danger again. Not long after, another group of reinforcements were seen approaching the residence with President Rico leading them.

Seeing the red robe, President Rico's eyes turned cold as he ordered, "Do not let any of them get away."

The Heavenly Gate fighters, who were previously evenly matched with the five Sky realm Magus fighters and able to maintain their ground, were currently being slowly pushed into a precarious situation as they were surrounded by many fighters.

However, right when the fight appeared to be over, the Heavenly Gate's people started to transform themselves into weird forms. With the transformation, their whole body became unnaturally pale and their eyes turned bloody red. This transformation allowed them to have special abilities, such as making them feel less pain, being able to regenerate their wounds more quickly, and so on. But as a side effect of the transformation, they turned wild and seemed to lose control of their minds.

The ability made the fight a little difficult, but after a while, Alex's fighters would find the classic act of decapitating their heads from the body was certainly still effective to do the trick. In fifteen minutes, they finally ended the battle with four of them being caught, while the rest were sent to their way, since they were too wild to be of any use.

The transformation gave them great powers and made them hard to kill, but if the price was losing their mind and with it their fighting tactics and techniques, it was hard to say if it was worth it. 

Obviously, Anas, who had lost his legs, was one of the four captured people. All of them were immediately tied up with strong and durable ropes. Anas, who was already tied from head to toe, remained calm and watched his legs regenerate.

President Rico approached the tied captives with an expression full of hatred.

"How dare you people cause trouble here?!" shouted Rico. Scanning his gazes past them, he added, "Tell me what is your plan and maybe, maybe I will spare your life."

However, Anas and the others did not even flinch, as if his words landed on empty air, instead they were seen praying and chanting something. Seeing that, President Rico became furious.

"Do you think that I do not dare to kill all of you?!" raged President Rico as he violently drew his sword and put it on Anas's neck. The blade was so close that it caused cuts and drops of blood began to drip. However, despite all of this happening, Anas kept calm and continued his prayer.

At the same time, another group came over to their location. Alex along with several of his chosen fighters and several representatives from other countries happened to see this occurrence.

"What are they thinking doing this?" said Angus, the colonel from Australia.

Alex walked over to Rico, who was fuming with anger, along with Theo and Daisy.

"Mr President, calm yourself." said Alex while pulling the man's hand who was holding the sword around Anas's neck.

Anas suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, you all infidels will one day be burned by all of your sins."

Surprisingly, it was not Rico who moved first, but Alex, who immediately grabbed the sword and stabbed it, piercing deep through Anas's shoulder.

"ARRGGHHHH!" Screamed the guy in pain.

Eyeing the squirming guy coldy, Alex said, "You better shut up. The only reason I stopped the president is because I don't like to see him dirty his hand. For me personally, I don't mind at all and honestly don't really care."

Pointing his thumb to Theo, he continued, "This man here can extract the information from all of your followers. As for you, your life will end here."

The combination between the pain in his shoulder and the seriousness in Alex's made his body shudder in fear. Seeing Alex swinging the sword, Anas suddenly shouted, "Adam!"

Hearing the name, the president suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Alex paused his movement and watched Anas, waiting for his next words.

Anas opened his mouth again, continuing his words with a stutter.

"A-Adam. He is the president's son, isn't he? We have him."
