Fate's Reversal: The Divines Return

…

Turning around, FlashLight was confronted by a rough looking stalwart man. He held a rigid yet fine quality greatsword in his hand. Moreover, he looked at FlashLight with eyes of disgust. As if he was viewing an insignificant roach—it was WarCry!

"A little rat who hasn't even touched upon the Hyper Intuition Realm dares activate his Sphere of Influence? Now I MUST crush you. Hahaha."

The surrounding pursuers parted as WarCry approached FlashLight. Moreover, WarCry exhibited his own Sphere of Influence. Compared to FlashLight's insignificant 3 foot radius, WarCry's was disgustingly large; his Sphere of Influence had a radius of 17 feet! Moreover, the visibility of his Sphere was at least 3 times greater.

Trembling, FlashLight's will faltered. He felt as if he was being approached by a wild beast. He was in the face of a Tyrant! Furthermore, the Tyrant has already released his Sphere of Influence. However, a moment later FlashLight tightly gripped his long lance.

'I shall not disgrace our name. With now we may be weak...but the future is untold. Our fates are not determined by the likes of your terrorists!'

Exhaling, FlashLight brandished his lance as he took a wide stance.

However, raising his eyebrows, WarCry chuckled. He found these dire straits to be rather entertaining.

"Hmph, you actually have some fight in you? Then let's rumble! Make you move!!"

Upon finishing his words, WarCry's blade glinted red as he dashed forward.

Taking notice of this, FlashLight's eyes shifted towards WarCry's blade momentarily before becoming fixated on his physique.

Stabbing forth, WarCry dodged preemptively as he leaned to the side. Smirking, he took a powerful step as he accelerated into the close range on FlashLight. He was playing around with him.

Gritting his teeth, FlashLight lowered his lance as he twisted his body performing a quick sweep.

Reacting, WarCry stabbed his sword into the ground. As a result, FlashLight's arms vibrated as if he had hit a metal pole situated in concrete.

Swinging the blunt side of his greatsword WarCry's arm and front leg twitched simultaneously. Capitalizing on FlashLight's moment of vulnerability, WarCry's sword smashed into his arm causing him to drop his lance.

If Kaiden were here he would have realized that was an Advanced Combat Technique! It was similar to Second Drive but more refined. WarCry used it on both his arm and leg at the same time increasing his potency.

"Haha. Is this all you're capable of? Such slow reflexes, low combat ability. You're just pure trash. I don't understand how you guys created these achievements." chortled WarCry.

Not only was he torturing them, he was belittling them. He was adding insult to injury—literally!

Taking a step, WarCry vanished momentarily before appearing right before the injured FlashLight.

"One who loses their weapon isn't a warrior." smirked WarCry. .

*WHAM!*

Waving his greatsword, WarCry sent FlashLight flying. But, kicking off his back foot, WarCry dashed and jumped above him. Turning, he delivered a powerful slash which sent FlashLight straight into the ground.

*BAM* *BOOM!*

Coughing, FlashLight stumbled to his feet. His will wasn't broken. In fact, it was ignited. He staggered as he walked but he still approached WarCry.

"Oh you have heart? Why don't you join my guild instead. How about I train you, it's clear your leader is unable to. Look at your nasty movements. What are you, a zombie?" chuckled WarCry.

"Fuck...you...better than being a pussƴ." retorted FlashLight.

As a result, WarCry snapped. Dashing forward, he brandished his greatsword madly. Multiple echoing thuds could be heard as the greatsword battered FlashLight's body. In a moment, under his continuous pommeling, FlashLight's body turned lifeless as he died. However, WarCry's anger was far from quelled.

"Fuck, that rat dare talk back? I will slaughter everyone! Hahaha! Watch how I cause you to drown in the river known as despair."

Turning his head, his great sword began to emanate a bloody glow. It was a skill of a Berserker known as Bloodthirsty, it increased Strength by 3% and damage by 2% for every 5% Health sacrificed.

Marking everyone in his proximity as a target, WarCry stormed off. As he brandished his greatsword, a trail of a bloody afterimages remained in the air. His strikes were picking up in both speed and ferocity! He was executed Combat Techniques albeit only Advanced ones.

….

*KRR BOOM* *KRR BOOM *KKRR BOOM*

Each step Kaiden took caused small craters as he accelerated beyond the human barrier. However, his eyes never once stopped looking forward in the distance. In just 15 minutes he had traveled slightly over half the distance required. Moreover, fueled by rage, he showed no signs of exhaustion. However, there laid another reason he didn't feel exhausted.

"Hooo…

"Hold on…" muttered Kaiden as his steps once again increased in pace. He started executing Sonic Acceleration in the stead of Compound Burst. He found his speed to be insufficient.

Closing in on the entrance of the Crescent Wake Town, Kaiden went on a tangent, shifting his steps. He wasn't here to go to town...he was heading to the Valley. However, as he veered his path he caught wind of a gathering of people rushing forward. Squinting, he made out the figures to be all women. As such, he made a call.

"Yes Key?" immediately answered Snow Bunny.

"I'm behind you, I'll catch up in a second." alerted Kaiden as he stomped his foot, speeding off into the distance.

"Okay. We'll halt momentarily." nodded Snow Bunny.

"No need. Continue. I'm literally right behind you." replied Kaiden as he ended the call.

Whizzing through the field, within a few minutes, Kaiden caught up to the gathering of women which startled some.

"You're here already…?" gawked Snow Bunny.

"Mnn...come with me." nodded Kaiden as he held out his hand.

Grasping it, Snow Bunny blushed lightly. He was so open, she was in the presence of her guild members. As a result, she turned her head slightly.

"We're going to rush ahead. BattleSeraph you lead them to our position, with haste okay?"

"Roger, Guild Leader!" nodded BattleSeraph.

Unleashing their true speed, both Snow Bunny and Kaiden zoomed into the distance.

"That's...Unsheathed isn't it?" muttered one of the girls.

"Yeah...he's tall isn't he? And it doesn't seem he picked the titan race...It must be his real height!"

"Wow, he seems strong, Guild Leader Snow is a lucky woman hehehe." chuckled another.

"Shh, we have to move with haste. No time to giggle." reprimanded BattleSeraph. However, she herself was in a slight daze as she stared forward. They were a match, and she wondered when she could find her own match...someone sturdy she could rely on.

"Key tell me the details. What else has happened that we are in even more dire straits?"

"That's the thing...I don't know. I can't communicate with my guild members whether private or guild chat...It won't connect!"

"!!, I see. Then the situation is dire and unknown...which guilds is it? inquired Snow Bunny.

"Supposedly it's the Warhead Syndicate, Despicable Outlaws, Night Corps, Wizard Conglomerate and the Sunset Triad." responded Kaiden.

However, Snow Bunny's eyes turned cold as a venomous anger circulated through her also. She remembered these names, there was a time she looked at the list of affiliated guilds with her ex-fiance.

"Titan's Grasp…they must be after you Key!"

"The Eight Insurmountable Titan?!?" snarled Kaiden.

He was unable to understand why the Titan's Grasp targeted him now? Competition was inevitable but the area explored in this world was insignificant at best. They vested too much energy in the wrong department. Thinking about this made him seethe with a dangerous amount of fury.

As a result, Snow Bunny tightened her grasp on Kaiden's hand. Leaning closer she whispered. "Don't be consumed. I'm here. We are partners. Trust in me too."

Leaning down, Kaiden nodded as he rested his forehead on hers. But her eyes were filled with a cold intent. How dare someone hurt her partner! She was coming for blood. He was there when she needed him, now it was her turn.

However, a wall stood before them… how exactly would they surpass it?

Turning his head, TerrorAssault sighed lightly. There was an intense amount of hate located close by. He was aware the Guild Leader or rather their true target wasn't located amongst this bunch. Clicking his tongue, TerrorAssault crouched before he carved something in the ground with his finger.

"Unfortunately you shall not pass beyond this point. I can take no chances. But I will take your life." sighed TerrorAssault.

"What do you want?" asked TerrorAssault.

A presence crept closer behind him that he was aware of since it approached.

"I want a piece of action too. Is that possible?" chuckled BlatantSage.

He had left the battlefield when he noticed TerrorAssault had yet to move as if he was waiting for something.

"I don't care what you do...but there are 2 stronger people headed this way, you can take the 2nd one if you like." shrugged TerrorAssault as he stared into the distance indifferently.

"Excellent." said Blatant Sage as he licked his lips maliciously. A stronger target was on it's way… he couldn't wait to crush it!

....

The battlefield came into view in Kaiden's eyes. However, his countenance contorted when he saw there stood two unidentified people standing guard. No that was wrong, they didn't seem to be standing guard but rather waiting!

"Heighten your guard. Those two are waiting for us." said Kaiden as his eyes glared. Moreover, looking at the guild interface, at this point everyone in the guild had died at least once or twice causing Kaiden to grit his teeth.

"Hahaha! Don't stand there come and play!" chuckled Blatant Sage.
