Outside black eye camp.

A teleportation crack appear and two people came out. One person was tall and his body was not skinny nor muscular. His eyes and hair were black and he was wearing black head to toe. And behind him was a man with brown hair and eyes, he was not tall as former, he was carrying two swords with him.

“Jayden, look like we are first to come here should we wait for other guilds or just enter in?” asked the man who was wearing black.

When he didn’t get any response he turn around, but see no one behind him, his mouth twitched a little “this man, when he will learn to be patience a little.” The man in black said as he entered in the building what was amazing was that there was no door outside but the man touch the shadow on the wall and he sucked in it and came out from another shadow that was inside the building.

As for Jayden he used a crude way by climbing the wall. When Jayden was on top of the wall, he saw a forest under him, he didn’t see any entrance so he just jumped from the wall and landed in the forest. When he was about to land there was a fire beneath his feet that help him to lower the impact of his free fall. Then Jayden starts wandering in forest like he was taking a stroll in a park.

He was looking for people when he saw a large number of people coming out of a cave so he happily go to them.

***

“hahaha, she really saved him” a voice came from behind them. Simon was standing at the end of doorway in his hand at ice sickle was floating in air.

Simon finally arrived on site.

“Anna please stay with us…” lucas was crying and was going through his bag, But he was stopped by Anna “it's too late to do anything…” Anna say weakly

“Young master, you know that crying doesn’t suit you…you should smile like you always do…to see you happy made me happy.” Anna said and extend her to wipe tear away from lucas face.

“Young master, please continue living without me.” Anna said with great difficulty

“No Anna, I will save you” lucas cried. But Anna only gives a weak smile before closing her eyes.

“Anna, Anna please answer me please” lucas hug Anna and cried miserably.

Ethan’s eyes were filled with tears, but he tried his best to not cry, Anna was like a big sister to Ethan, the one year he spends in hunting ground, she helped him countless time when he was not able to find anything to eat there were always some fruits when he get back to cave or when he was surrounded by beast group that he can't defeat or retreat a aura bullet came out of nowhere and help to create a path for Ethan to retreat.

Simon, who was standing not too far when saw lucas crying, he laughed “hahaha, don’t worry, you will be joining her shortly.”

When lucas heard Simon he roared in anger “ETHAN! I want him dead”

“You don’t have to say it” Ethan said, wiping out all emotions from himself.

Simon laugh when he heard this “hahaha, you want me dead you can try.”

Then Simon then said to the guards “you guys take all good seed with yourself and retreat to headquarter, I will be back after killing these bastards”

“Yes, sir.” said the leader as they retreated.

“Now shall we play” Simon said to Ethan.

Ethan firm his grip on his sword and start attacking at Simon. “Wow, you are fast this will be fun.” Said Simon as his retreat and throw ice sickles at Ethan.

Ethan easily able to deflect them and close the distance. When Ethan was close enough to Simon he start attacking aggressively. Simon didn’t panic when Ethan was able to come close, he didn’t take out any weapon instead an ice sword came out of his hand and he starts fighting head on with Ethan.

“Hahaha, little boy let me see what you got.” Simon said.

But the next instant Simon was shocked he was not able to keep up with Ethan, but he smiled at it “hahaha you are good. I don’t want to kill you, but you have done something unforgivable, so you have to die today.”

Ethan didn’t say anything and only attack on Simon but Simon did not fight back and only dodge the sword. Ethan was chasing Simon when his feet stuck in something he looked at his feet, his feet were stuck in ice and the ice was spreading upward.

“Cold right, let me make you a snow man hahaha.” Simon said as he starts walking toward Ethan.

Ethan stomps his feet and break the ice on his foot and swing his sword at Simon. Simon did not dodge this time, but catch the sword with is hand, which have a thin layer of ice. When Ethan’s sword touch that thin layer of ice, ice started spreading toward the sword. From sword, ice spread toward Ethan’s hand Ethan tried to break the ice, but ice didn’t break at all.

“I admit that you have some skill , but unfortunately you will die here today.” Simon said.

Lucas looked at Ethan, who was freezing slowly but steadily. He gritted his teeth and pick up a dagger and rush toward Simon.

Simon saw this and laugh “hahaha, don’t be so impatient it will be your turn after I turn this boy in snow man.” Simon said as he kicked lucas in the chest.

Simon then looked at Ethan, who was struggling to get free from ice “don’t bother it will not break if I have contact with it.

Simon was smiling at Ethan when a sword priced right side of his chest from behind. “Let see what you feel when you get freeze yourself Simon of black eye.” A voice came from behind Simon as the ice started forming on his chest.

Ethan was finally able to get free from Simon. Simon turns his head around and looked at the person who just back stab him. When he saw the person his eyes was wide open, “j… Jayden?”

“That’s me, you know me, I am flattered that I known by a hot shot of the black eye.” Jayden said as he start freezing Simon more quickly but Simon was resisting it because he also has the ability to control ice.

Ethan, who just freed himself from Simon picked up a sword from the side that was dropped by a guard because his sword was covered in ice. He didn’t wait for anyone response when he swings his sword and cut Simon head.

Jayden who was having fun playing ice game with Simon was shocked and looked at the boy who just killed Simon by cutting his head clean.

“This…” Jayden was about to say something to Ethan, but Ethan throws the sword in his hand aside and rush toward lucas who did not stand up after getting kicked from Simon. When he saw that lucas was still breathing, he let out a sigh of relief, then he walked toward Anna’s body. He removes his long coat and covered Anna’s face with it.

Then he looked toward the man who helped him with killing Simon “thank you for helping us.” Said Ethan.

“You are welcome” Jayden looked at the boy who just kill a person without changing his expression at all.

After expressing his thank Ethan sit down and lean on the wall to take some rest, but he fell asleep after sitting down. His body reached its limit after fighting constantly and because of worry about how to leave this place now he can finally able to relax a little as help from outside as come.
