CHAPTER 316: Had Been Holding Back All This Time?

The mist disappeared together with the last scene in that memory.

Other than Saphira, the rest collapsed unconscious on the ground.

The impact of such tremendous memory was truly big for all of them.

Hunter just found out the truth but in the end, it was only a few moments before everything was displayed right in front of him.

"Come out now!!!" Saphira called out.

She was barely hanging on herself, watching it again was still as painful as ever.

Back when she temporarily lost her memories, when they returned it was still the same hazy ones. For she can barely remember the look on Raynisha's face back then.

Watching this one now, she was even more hurt.

The pain Raynisha carried back then was too much.

She was decisive enough to stab the man she loves the moment she realized that he was the one making all the moves.

She was decisive enough to make her sister go through such a pain just so she could save them all.

All along Raynisha was the one who hurt the most back then.

And at that time she was all alone battling everything.

Saphira and the rest simply carried the aftermath of all choices that are made.

When she called out, she was pertaining to the mythological beasts.

It was what Vermilion Bird told them when they came to him for confirmation about everything that was going on.

Each of them had a grim face after coming out.

As they were asleep, they were completely unaware of what was truly going on.

Who would have thought that so many things have happened during that time and it wasn't simply a tragedy that took the lives of the elite squad?

"We are surrounded, he pulled such a move, this whole land is no more," Saphira instructed them.

No wonnder it seemed so easy for them to kill the dark forces when there was supposed a lot of them and that the barrier alone couldn't possibly push them all away.

All along, each and every person in this place were already in the process of being under the dark lord.

It must have been just like Raynisha and the rest, they were unaware that Ardel had already planted a seed of darkneess inside them that slowly grew over time.

Because Saphira could tell that everyone was genuine in their actions.

The people in this land of the different kingdoms and empires fell prey on the hands of the dark lord.

Hans and kara must have been real residences in this place, just that Ardel and raynisha took their place nad replaced the memories of the people to be theirs.

No wonder they were eager to befriend her and the rest.

If they were to get their trust then isn't it the easiest to break them apart emotionally with the sudden betrayals?

'Hideous,' she thought as she brandished her sword.

"We will clear up as many as we can and then we will clear a way to get out of here. Roc you will be our key out here," she told the mythological beasts.

And soon humans and beasst started fighting against the massive number of demonic beasts and dark forces.

At this moment, without people to see or her friends to witness, Saphira fought valiantly.

Using both the sword and her abilities, fire and light.

Her movements were fluid and it was an aweinspiring moment.

Even the mythological beasts were amazed as they fought alongside her.

This is a part she have not shown all through out their battles.

Maybe because she knew there are others who can support her that she simply fight with them.

But now having so many people she needed to protect, her battle was even more fierce but also beautiful.

'Having too great of a power will make one be the focus of the people. The one they idolize but also will leave one to stay at the top on their own.'

This was part of the diary of Saphira's predecessor.

Looking at her now, they couldn't help but to think that it was indeed true.

The more one becomes stronger the more that they will leave the rest behind to the point where they will find themselves on their own.

'Could it be she had actually been holding back all this time?' was the thought they had as they fought with her.

"Clear a path," she called out.

The enemmies are still a lot but knowing full well that Ardel and the rest have truly left and they won't follow them, Saphira made the decision.

They can go on and fight these enemies but then they would lose al their energy that in the travel back they might even find themselves facing another batch of enemies where they might fall.

She was being cautious at the same time, she had promised to protect them.

At this moment that is her priority, she needed to bring them back to the empire.

All mythological beasts raored causing a preassure on the weker beasts and forces, giving them time to make a path to leave that place.

Roc had long placed the other seven on his back and was waiting for Saphira's signal in order to move out.

Somehow even though they were ina dangerous situation, the seven were unable to wake up. This showed just how shocked they were after finding out the truth about everything.

"NOW!!" Saphira shouted jumping on his back as well.

The rest turned smaller and rode on his back. Since he was the fastest among them, flying alongside him is nothing but having the chance to be left behind.

They'd rather they ride him instead.

Saphira turned to look at the second largest land in the world.

It was filled with nothing but miasma and fire, just like the land they were in almost ten years ago.

Where life was already impossible to still survive.

She bit her lower lip, once again they failed. They failed in saving other people's lives.

"I'm sorry," she bowed to its direction as it was no longer visible at this moment, with how fast Roc was flying.
