Chapter 46

Beatrix was silent for a moment before relenting. This was all for Leon's sake after all so she agreed with Chisatos plan.

" So besides you and I do you have anyone, in particular, you would recommend for this assignment." Chisato asked already including herself in becoming Leon's new mana well.

" I may have a few people in mind."

"So basically what you're telling me is that I'm now technically immortal. Does technology like that even exist in this world?" Leon was skeptical but he was also living proof.

" Indeed as long as I exist I can revive or heal you from any injuries and I am a unique existence, the only one of my kind...I think." Ghost answered not really sure himself if he was the only one or if he had any other brothers or sisters.

" All I know is that the creator had made me for you. We have formed a neural symbiosis so I can't use my abilities on anyone else but you." Leon had a hard time wrapping his head around all of this. But one thing was for certain...

" I still don't understand why this creator had you made for me...but nevertheless you saved my life, so thank you Ghost." Leon said giving the ghost a slight bow in respect.

Ghosts eye squinted before opening wide." There is no need for thanks but I accept."

"Hahaha is that so, so besides healing me and reviving me what else can you do." Leon asked, curious about what other things Ghost was capable of.

"Ghost will serve as a companion, scout, librarian, mechanic, waking ancient machinery, and a cracker of ancient codes and scripts. I have every language saved in my data bank and even ones that haven't been discovered or fully translated yet.

Ghosts can also support You by performing certain actions such as illuminating darkened areas, repairing technology, hacking into machines, informing the Guardian of incoming hostile threats, calculating complex enemy behaviors, determining combat outcomes, mapping numerous projectiles and their myriad of trajectories, and providing communications.

Most importantly, I may revive you from death. As long as Ghost survives, and barring special circumstances, you are effectively immortal and may be resurrected fully intact from any death without consequences. 

I have no special control over your actions, other than talking to you or potentially withholding your resurrection If you ever become dangerously erratic or monstrous."

" Wow! Ghost your awesome."

" I know."

{Location: Unkown mountain}

It was starting to get dark as the sun was setting over the horizon. In the woods, all types of creatures and Fauna were preparing to go to sleep while nocturnal animals were getting ready to hunt the night away for food.

{Che, Fush}

Rustling sounds could be heard through a bush as it kept moving back and forth before the bushes were pushed aside by two gloved hands. The person in question was wearing a weird set of robes and a distinct animal mask.

This person was none other than one of the terrorists that had managed to escape the slaughter of the shadow guards...so they were pretty lucky.

" Looks like we're almost at the pick-up point it should be just two miles from here. Let's get moving." The male with the rough-sounding voice said to his companion who was right behind him.

His companion looked much shorter than the leading terrorist but they all had a few things in common, like their weird robes, the animal masks they wear, and what else...Ah, there also all bat shit crazy.

" Yeye, damn do I need to piss, hey Crow wait a second I need to go."

" Your kidding right just hold it in...and he's gone, great." Crow grumbled and had no choice but to wait there for his partner. Bored he decided to check on the coordinates of the other members so he opened up a hologram that showed the location of all the terrorists...

Each person represented a Red dot and on his map, there were about twenty dots. He represented the blue dot on the map and he could see all his fellow terrorists were at least 1 mile apart from each other, but they were all heading to the same place...The green Loch.

" We lost 120 men on this mission, damn those awakened. I can't wait until our next att..huh?" Crow stopped his monologue as he had noticed something weird on the map. One of his companions that were around 10 miles away just disappeared. He blinked and counted each person but what shocked him was that as he was counting another had disappeared...then another...then another..and another...

{Beep, beep beeep}

" What the hell is going on, why do they keep disappearing." Every 10 seconds a light would disappear making Crow panic. "Maybe it's just the connection, something is interfering with..." Crow noticed the light 1 mile away from him disappeared causing him to gulp the built-up saliva in his mouth.

And without thinking his hand had reached for his saber on his left side but just as he grabbed it a shadow leaped across the mountain terrain like a cat and slit crows throat before he could do anything else.

Blood splattered everywhere as Crow held his throat trying to stop the bleeding but to no avail. His companion who had just gone away to take a whizz was unaware of all of it and was just having the time of his life.

Steam lifted from where he was peeing. But just as he was almost done...

{SWOOSH}

He suddenly felt a weird sensation at the back of his neck and throat but just ignored the feeling. He finally finished his Business and moved backward but his head seemed to have had other plans as it slowly slid forward, landing in the puddle of piss he had just created.

(What a sad way to die.) Similar scenarios were happening all over the forest and in less than a few minutes all the terrorists were dead by either decapitation or by a slice to their jugular.

The person in question responsible for all of these deaths finally stopped and looked back as if trying to find any stragglers. Not seeing any they made their way to a lake nearby.

But instead of running, they took their time. There Stepps were silent and their breathing calm, like what they had just done could not even be considered a warm-up.

As they were walking their hands moved to their backs and they grabbed an oval-looking sword handle. They seemed to have done something to the object as a second later a blade made out of some kind of energy sprung out of the object.

An innocent leaf that had just been blowing with the wind seemed to have been attracted to the blade as it flew in its direction. As the leaf flew past the blade it suddenly split into two.

The person didn't even use any momentum but the leaf had been cut so effortlessly, that alone showcases how sharp that energy blade was.

As the person strode forward they finally made it to the lake, but they weren't alone as on the other side of the lake someone else was also walking forwards.

There were two Axes already in position for battle, their attire was similar to the terrorists except they seemed to be of higher Authority. They also wore an Elephant mask

The two sides stared at each other before disappearing...

{BOOOOOM}

In a split second both parties clashed in the middle of Green loch creating a miniature tsunami on the lake's surface. A colossal amount of water uprooted itself as their clash created shockwaves that could be heard and felt for miles.

{Boom, Booom, Bang}
