As the Quick's claws were some meters away from the little girl's face which had an horrified expression. Sakura's whole demeanor changed, as her bright brown eyes dimmed and her they became cold, a shortsword appeared in her hand.

"Bullet time"

[-20MP]

Immediately, the area around Sakura slowed down, she immediately used the shortsword and cut off the head of the quick aberrant. She carried the little girl and moved towards the side befkfe cancelling the skill.

Zen and Nyct stood frozen on the spot of what had just occurred. One second a quick aberrant was about to complete it's kill, another second, it was already decapacitated and Sakura and the little girl were already at another side.

Nyct looked towards the human girl he had just scolded, he noticed her gaze on him and he shivered. What kind of female did milord get?

"Zen... Be careful out there, do not die" Sakura said with no emotion in her voice. She turned towards the girl by her side and squatted down.

Zen saw this has his cue to leave, he looked out the window and noticed the revenant walking leisurely towards his location. He closed his eyes and sighed before opening him them, you could see the resolve in them.

"Spatial Shift"

Zen disappeared and appeared in front of the revenant and swung his katana in an attempt to cut through it's neck but was met with an obstruction. A layer of stell had appeared on the revenant's neck blocking his attack.

Zen's eyes widened, the revenant turned it's head and grin at him. Zen immediately pushed back and landed some distances away from the revenant.

"Adio..." Zen muttered as he dodged an aberrant's claw and killed it, receiving a message prompt from the Oracle records.

He ignored the prompt and dodged attacks while killing the aberrants.

"Adio?... Who is... Adio?" A hoarse voice escaped the lips of the revenant as he just stood there and stared at Zen who was slaying aberrants.

Who cares I just have to kill this human, and regain my humanity!

The revenant thought before charging towards Zen as it's fist turned silver. Zen had just cut off the head of an aberrant before his danger sense activated and he bent his head to the side dodging a fist.

His danger sense still tingled as watched as the fist opened up and grabbed him by the face and slammed him into the ground.

"Ack!!!" Zen groaned as he felt pain coarse through his back.

The revenant created a blade with his free hand and attempted to stab Zen in the head. Zen disappeared as he appeared in the air above the revenant and sent a kick to it's back.

The revenant crashed into the floor, Zen made a backflip and landed just in front of the revenant on the floor, he sent in a stab with his katana which was blocked as the revenant's head became silver.

Meanwhile Scarlet, Anna, Raven and the others were watching the proceedings with their binoculars.

"Who is that horned human in black armour?" The silver haired man asks.

"That's the teenage boy's summon... but how could a low level have a higher level summon?" Anna asked with doubt.

"There's more to the boy than the eyes can see... But that girl gives me a eerie feeling" the blonde haired youth said as he adjusted his spectacles and looked through his binoculars.

Scarlet who was looking through the binoculars suddenly looked at the little girl who was looking at the fight below with worry on her eyes. Scarlet's eyes suddenly widened as she let go of the binoculars and stepped back in fright.

Her brain recounted what she had seen but she frowned, she could not remember what she saw.

"Scarlet, what did you see this time?" Raven asked as she has been watching Scarlet.

Scarlet looked at her and shook her head, "I... I can't remember"

"Eh... But I thought you saw the one of the boy, why can't remember the one of the little girl" Anna said.

"That's weird, I remember you telling me about the fate of the boy, why I can't remember it?" The silver haired man said.

"Arata, are you serious?" The bespectacled man asked.

"Yeah, I remember Scarlet telling us.... What did Scarlet tell us again?" Arata wanted to agree but switched to a question.

"Scarlet did not tell us anything" Raven said.

Scarlet watched this proceedings frowned as she did not remember telling them anything. She looked back at the boy fighting the revenant, she activated her gift and saw nothing. The same happened with the girl and the little girl. It was like the girls' fate had intertwined with the fate of the boy.

"Their fate has become uncertain" Scarlet muttered.

-----

Zen blocked a blade as he was pushed back by the revenant's attack. He felt some fleeting gazes on him, but with the battle in front of him, he couldn't determine where those gazes cames from.

Zen ducked as he dodged a claw from an aberrant and sliced upwards, cutting the aberrant into two parts.

[Level 5 aberrant slain]

[Level advanced to 6, additional 10 points to all stats, loots has been recovered into inventory]

[Unique skill created]

[Kill Slice (???) - 40% chance of insta killing an opponent when used]

[Skill duration: 5 minutes]

[Skill cooldown: 10 minutes]

Zen suddenly felt refreshed after his level up as he stretched his neck. Looking at the skill, it was his first skill which had a skill duration and cooldown time.

[Weapon Proficiency (Katana) - LV 1>>>LV 2]

Zen suddenly felt that he could attack in more ways with the weapon in his hand. He looked at the revenant and frowned. Even with his level up, he still found the revenant hard to kill, if he had a way to counter the silver skin.

The revenant looked at Zen and frowned. The human before him suddenly seem to have become able to slightly threaten him. Just slightly.

Looking at the aberrants around him, it commanded them telepathically to swarm Zen.

Zen held the katana tightly as he stared at the aberrants that had gone berserk and began to attack him.

"Kill Slice"

[04:59]

Zen charged at the incoming aberrants and began his killing spree, as kill prompts appeared which he ignored. His danger sense focused on the revenant who had disappeared in the swarm of aberrants.

Zen kept killing aberrants and even some Quicks which he had avoided some of their attacks by hair's breadth. His cloak was already in tatters and his clothes also, some parts of his body had scars which were slowly healing as they stopped bleeding.

[STA- 60<<<<25]

His stamina had already reduced by a huge margin, he was getting tired. Suddenly his danger sense activated and he immediately bent his head to the side dodging a blade, but his dodge was not successful as his neck received a cut.

Zen hissed as he swerved his katana behind him, to which the revenant blocked before kicking Zen in his sides, sending flying as he crashed through aberrants who exploded into blood mists.

[Stamina level critically low]
