15 The Fall of Velums
Juno screamed loudly because of what she saw. You need to evacuate! only Zodiac-marked Velums will remain. all the children and old people who are not able to fight; she wanted everyone to evacuate immediately because she knew that they would have a bloody fight against a High Guardian who is a Taurus.
Even Seth and Lucius were surprised and immediately felt fear when they heard Juno's scream. especially since they have a past battle against a Taurus and almost died immediately from that attack even though that Taurus was not even serious about fighting them.
Juno focused her sight on Gaia, and suddenly Gaia ran very fast and went right inside their border.
Juno immediately ordered the Velums to do everything they could to stop the High Guardian.
They immediately started firing their arrows, pointing only head-on with Gaia.
The high guardian was full of pride because of the strength he possessed. He bravely met the thousands of arrows flying toward him.
a strong gust of wind accompanied his very fast running.
he grinned and punched the air very hard at the same time. all the arrows that were coming at him had instantly broken down with just the impact from his fist. and he continued to run.
Our arrows cannot stop him! shouted a Velum.
Juno also whistled and aimed her arrow at Gaia.
Gaia knew that the arrow would be more potent coming from Juno compared to other Velum, so he suddenly stopped running and lifted up his guard for the attack.
This time, Juno embedded a spell and released a flaming arrow.
when it was released from her bow, it gradually took the form of a phoenix that was on fire and headed in the direction of Gaia.
Gaia knew he couldn't face the flaming arrow heading his way, so he destroyed the ground he was standing on and lifted a huge rock coming from the ground. he used it as a barrier to the arrow coming at him. The arrow that Juno released was so hot that even though he made a barrier there, Gaia's upper garment was still burned. he got scars and burns on his body because that attack was unavoidable.
Juno saw that Gaia got scars, but her attack was not enough. the scars of any Zodiac will quickly become silent, so in just a little time, the scars she made in her attack will also disappear immediately.
and when Gaia also saw that all the Zodiac Sagittarius were positioned, he knew that it would be difficult for him to get closer to the border. in his mind, he will have a hard time until he destroys the formation of the archers guarding the border. he took a knife hidden in his belt. he cut his palms until his blood dripped on the ground.
Juno couldn't understand what she was seeing, and she didn't know why Gaia had injured himself.
She just knew he was planning something terrible, so she didn't waste any more time and ordered the Velums to rain arrows again towards the enemy.
before the velums could release an arrow again, they almost dropped their bows at the same time due to a deafening noise that suddenly came from underground.
it's like a cry of a terrifying monster. a Velum tried to grab his bow when suddenly a monster flew in front of him and swept it into the air.
they all looked at the sky because the flying monster carried the velum way up high. and they were very surprised when it fell, only the head was left, and slowly it rained blood and part of the body of a velum. they all shouted out of fear because of what happened to their comrade.
After a while, the flying monsters suddenly appeared and swept away the velum archers one by one.
One of the flying monsters headed for Juno and planned to take her too. Good thing Juno had a dagger with her, and she immediately stabbed the monster in the neck when it tried to take her.
Juno saw the horrible appearance of the monster that they didn't know where it came from.
it has a human head and sharp fangs. long ears and a body like an eagle.
Juno can see on Gaia's face the very evil smile and laugh of a who's enjoying this massacre while the monsters are ravaging the strong archers in Velos Desi.
One of the characteristics of a powerful Taurus is that it can summon monsters from the darkness.
only through their blood, they can summon a monster that matches their level.
Juno's men are being depleted, and it is getting very bloody inside Velos Desi.
she saw a boy running and being chased by monsters. she couldn't do anything but watch how the monster caressed the child because even she was having trouble protecting himself.
the people she protected for all the past years are mercilessly devoured by monsters created by a Taurus.
she just started crying because she felt powerless at that moment while the whole Velos Desi was getting destroyed.
she tried to calm herself down and insisted on fighting. while she was focused and continuing to fight the monsters, she saw that four people had come out of their border and were heading towards where Gaia was. She was startled when she saw that it was Linhardt and his companions. they were running furiously because of what they saw that Gaia had done to all people of Velos Desi. we don't even care if you are a High Guardian! what you did will never be forgiven until you are dead! Kilian shouted angrily.
Gaia's eyes widened when he saw Linhardt and his companion approaching him.
his real goal is to get Linhardt back to the castle because word has reached them on how he killed the assassins that they ordered to track them.
He smiled because he didn't have to struggle anymore since Linhardt came to him willingly.
Gaia sprinted and grabbed Linhardt's neck. he noticed that something was wrong when he strangled him because he didn't hear any noise or begging while he was tightening his grip.
he turned behind him, and suddenly he received a powerful punch from Lucius.
when he looked at who he was holding in his hand, he was annoyed because it wasn't even a person.
it was just a manikin made by magic and Kilian was just playing with his mind. he suddenly remembered that one of Linhardt's companions was a Libra, and if he weren't ready for his every move, he would be able to deceive him because he could read his thoughts.
he tried to get up immediately, but he couldn't get up either. he thought it was just an average blow that he received from a blind Chyrum, but there was something different about this punch, and it made him even angrier.
he got up and wiped the blood from his face. he felt the strange aura that Linhardt was showing, but he also noticed that he seemed to be having difficulty controlling his abilities. he thought his fellow Libras were trying to trick him again to prevent him from attacking.
