"The Sixth."

Hearing the word uttered by the girl beside him sent a sliver chills on Noah's neck. He was rather confused by the girl statement, he began questioning himself whether he heard her wrong.

"What'd you mean? We've only gotten news that the Sixth descends at Babylonia two days ago."

Noah asked her directly, he wants to know if the girl was only joking earlier. But the expressions on her face shows otherwise.

"I wish I was wrong too, but the Association reported something strange this afternoon."

Saturn look at him straight in the eyes, her expressions indicates what she saw below are not something she wishes to see too. Plus, it shouldn't be possible for a Primordial Being to suddenly showed up at other location right after their descends. Throughout thousand of years, people started to realize that once a Primordial descends, they will only stayed at one exact location after their descends.

They will ultimately destroyed any living organism originally staying at the location, and make it their own territory. Then, the lesser Primordial will started to scattered around near the numbered Primordial descends and will massacred any civilization within 1.7 million square miles.

"What reported was, after Babylonia falls- the Sixth suddenly vanished. Then, numerous sightings of unusual amount of Dentist were reported in many small town by the Association investigator. Ravensix Guard, Turon, Heavn Point, Shira Temple and all the way here- the only similar thing among them is that big chunk of white egg."

Noah's heart kept beating faster, what Saturn said completely shocks him.

"How is that possible? Nothing like this ever happened before."

"Our investigators still trying to find the reason behind. But one thing for sure is, back in Babylonia- right after it's destruction. One of Cerberus officers reported that, a big shadow of something like a hand was sighted. Only the hand..."

Saturn paused a little, she look at Noah who were listening carefully of what she was about to say.

"You do know, how big a numbered Primordial is. They're taller than any mountains, you can almost see them even if you're at other side of the world. But this, no one actually knows. If the hand's already the size of any numbered Primordials, just imagine how big the actual size is. Not to mention, the OTHER body part is scattered all over the world."

Noah's heart stopped breathing for a second. The amount of news he heard is not something he can handle, This is impossible... he thought. He took a little while to calm himself down while Saturn crouched down on her feet, observing the creatures below them.

"Then, wha- what we're supposed to do? You can't just reveal something like that to me suddenly. The folks in town would be terrified if they knew about this!"

Noah lashed out, he started to worries about the town's safety. He didn't want to witnessed anyone he knows to die right in front of him ever again. Shit, should I told them to evacuate the town? But, how do I convince them? Noah were lost in thought, he seem can't control his anxiousness. He walk back and forth a couple time until Saturn pulled him down to sit.

"Can't you act more matured mister? You look more scared than me right now."

Saturn smacks his head hard, maybe trying to give some sense to him. Noah tried to escaped from the girl's grip but the strength between them is huge. Is she really a girl?! Noah only manages to cover his head with only one of his hand.

"Ow, ow, ow... STOP!"

Immediately, Saturn let her grip go. Noah were breathing hard, he actually can't believe he was bullied by some teenage girl just now. Is the difference of strength between ordinary mercenaries and the Cerberus officers that HUGE?!

Noah tried to stand up but were stopped by the girl, he look at her with confused look- muttering a word "What?" silently.

"You're being too loud just now, we could've been discovered." She whispered to him.

Noah were dumbstruck, he didn't realized that they're in the territory of the Primordials. Any loud sound could attract the creatures attention below them, it would be a dangerous situation to be. He wishes that they aren't discover yet, if not the town would be in an unpredictable danger. Thousands of horde might be following them back to town if they made a mistake.

They both, started to look at every direction possible- in case of a sudden ambushed by Dentist nearby. Although, thousands of them were circling the massive egg, there's no denying that some might be lurking all over the places- keeping guard of any humans nearby. It is advisable to take a precaution act in a grave situation.

After making sure nothing were moving or weird sound heard at their location, both let out a sigh. They're not in any danger. at least for now. Then, Noah and Saturn crouched down on their feet and started to peek, observing the creatures below.

"What's your plan?" Noah asks with a low voice.

"We'll just observe the situation first and wait for reinforcement for now. Then we'll discuss what's the best plan to deal with this after my colleague arrived, it's better to seek help from a veteran."

"How many of them?"

"Three, Mr. Galileo and two others. Mr. Galileo is an experienced one, he's almost sixty year old by now. He even work for the Board of Directors so he's reliable and pretty strong too."

"If you say so then..." Noah shrugs.

"Come, we'll leave this place. There's nothing we can do for now."

Saturn stand up slowly and started to walk away, Noah followed closely behind the lady footsteps. They're being careful not to make the slightest sound, afraid of a sudden ambush. Following their trail earlier and making sure there's no danger behind them, Saturn almost felt relief after they've walked far away from the Dentist's lair but she suddenly stop.

"Wait."

Seeing Saturn stopped suddenly, Noah also did the same. He look around his surroundings, searching for anything unusual. They both went silent, only the sound of leaves swayed could be heard.

"What is it?" Noah asked after a while.

"There's something..." the girl still kept a low voice as if concentrating to detect any dangers that lurk behind the forest gentleness.

Before Noah could impose another questions, a growl came from behind them. Hearing the growls, both of them turned their body facing where the sound came from. Noah grab his sword from his back and unsheathes it from its scabbard. Even in the dark night without moon shining from above, the sword still glitters strangely even though it were a black one.

They've both in high alert, awaiting the enemy in front of them to show itself. The growl earlier couldn't be heard from the front but instead from their left, Noah and Saturn also followed the direction of the sound. It seemed the thing were circling them around and in a high speed- absurdly fast. It went from left to right, behind to the front and each time Noah grip his sword tightly preparing for the hidden monster attack.

'Fuck it, just show yourself!' Noah only manages to curses in his heart.

He look at Saturn, noticing the girl not carrying any weapons with her but that isn't a weird thing. Most people carried a weapon to further boost their strength while others prefer not to and only relies on their magic or any abilities in their possession. Maybe she's the latter one.

After a moment that felt like an eternity of following the monster growls, each time appeared on random direction. It finally showed itself. Sweat dripping from Noah's head, his hand grip tightly on his sword more than ever. What appeared in front of them is not what he had expected but rather wished he never saw one much less face one in his life.

"Shit, it's a Cleaver."

The monster, white in color like the Dentist but much paler and it also didn't possess a face- no eyes, mouth nor nose if any had one. It stand two meters tall, with a slender head and two hands holding a scythe each walked out slowly from its hidden spot. Noah stood still in his spot not moving an inch, Saturn also did the same. They both just staring at the monster in front of them, waiting for it to attack first. Then, without further notice the monster launch at them in a crazy speed.

'I'm going to die tonight.'
