Last One Standing Vol 1 The First Wave

chapter 12 part 2

chapter 12 part 2

May 28, 2024

A flash of light blinds me out of nowhere, suddenly I found myself falling from above the Grocery store we had once been hiding in. The wall the titan had broken is still there, however, there isn't a single monster to be seen. Not in the schoolyard or the store, I make my way off from the store using matter manipulation to lower myself, gradually reducing the power of gravity by half making it easier to jump off. I look around and still, nothing to be seen.


There is no sign of Bee, Daiki, or Aiko. I look around the plaza for a short period before making my way to some other place. I suddenly remember the fight I had with the imperial monster, remembering how it flew up with its wings, yet they did not move while it was flying.


I came to the only conclusion that it was using mana to maintain its height or something of the sort. The thought of lifting my shirt up and down while in the dungeon also came to mind and I decided to try it on myself.

Slowly lifting up and down, shifting left to right, over and over again until I've mastered it. About a minute goes by and I'm able to stand still in the air without falling or losing balance. Although it's easy to lift myself it's quite challenging to stay balanced and under control.


A few minutes go by, and I'm able to move around as if I were walking. The sole difference, however, is I am now considerably faster than when I walk. I, in addition, possess a better view making it easier to search for the others.

 

I begin by going higher in the air making it easier to see from afar. I go higher and higher as fast as possible. I can see everything in my path, scanning for any possible movement. Far away about 3 to 5 kilometers away, heading in the opposite direction from the school. There's a horde of monsters still chasing them, the remaining goblins, trolls, Orcs, and both Titans pursuing them at a slow pace. The Goblins were in front followed by the trolls, Orcs, and finally the Titans. I make my way there as fast as possible.


“Aiko, can you run any faster?” Daiki says, “I'm running as fast as possible,” she answers. “We need to do something about these guys; they won't stop following us. If we don't find a solution, we’re done for” Daiki shouts. Bee barks at a high pitch volume, almost as if agreeing with Daiki. “We have nowhere to go, we’re on open roads, and the closest place is the school. And we can't go back there, Aoi is most likely dead” says Aiko. Daiki responds “Don't say that; he’ll come back I'm sure of it.” Bee barks again in the same tone as the previous. “They’re getting close to me,” Aiko says. “They're catching up,” she adds. One of the goblins jumps in the middle of the air about to stab her in the back. Bee jumps and bites the head of the goblin off before tumbling down. Daiki and Aiko both stop and turn around. Bee is surrounded by goblins on the ground, about to be stabbed to death. Aiko screams “NO BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

At that moment, Before getting brutally murdered everyone pauses. A loud rumbling noise comes from underneath Bee. 

Spikes splurt out from the road stabbing all the goblins surrounding Bee. Killing them instantly.

The rest of the monsters, confused, look around, unable to see anyone or anything in the close surroundings that could have caused it.

Subsequently, strong pressure came from the school's direction pulling everyone down to their knees including Daiki and Aiko. No one's able to move. The final few goblins, trolls, and orcs are all on the ground groaning from the pressure emitted onto them.

Although the pressure can't directly injure them. Opposingly, It still causes colossal amounts of discomfort and stress on the body. If received in large doses can sometimes lead to symptoms like coughing blood or falling unconscious. The pressure causes most of the weaker monsters, goblins and Trolls to vomit blood. The Titans barely able to stay on one knee, look up to the sky.

Pointing out an anonymous figure,

A black cloak, a mask covering the lower half of its face. It's a male-like figure with muscular arms and upper body. Glaring down at the monsters, a storm begins to rumble; a dark gloomy storm has arrived, thunder and rain coming down on them. The lighting behind the anonymous figure creates a flash revealing its dark eyes for a moment. The pressure gets stronger and stronger. You can feel its rage coming from the pressure.

Out of nowhere, a cold area appears around the monsters, the Goblins trembling from the cold whereas the Titans are barely affected by it. It gets colder and colder over time, and The goblins are unable to move from the cold. The Titans, still getting pushed down by the pressure, start to tremble from the cold.

Their mana is no longer able to handle the sheer cold. Another thunder hits behind the figure. Revealing yet again it's terrifying eyes. The man in the sky is still getting angrier and angrier. Daiki and Aiko are completely terrified. However, on the other hand, Bee is completely unscared, not even in the slightest. He seemed almost relieved, Daiki was confused, but what he didn't know was that Be remembered a familiar scent from the man. A scent he's memorized for a few months now. The strange man, Pulls out swords, Both Aiko and Daiki remember those familiar short swords. they were Aoi’s swords, the second the ominous man had taken out his swords the pressure had increased significantly, and so had the cold. Killing many of the monsters instantly without needing to make a singular motion. The man launches himself toward the ground where most monsters are located. Crushing and killing all of them on impact, he was simultaneously slicing all of them. Without even swinging his swords he was able to kill all of them except for the Titans. They had been left out of the attacks. Almost as if the man wanted them for last. At that moment, the obnoxiously strong male was facing the two titans face to face. Having released his pressure the Titans were able to stand once again. Still suffering from the chilling cold. However, without even being able to see him move. The man leaps behind them, Daiki and Aiko being unable to keep up with his speed. He moves behind the Titans and stands still. Not doing anything. The Titans turn around and prepare to attack as two blue flashes go through their neck. In the millisecond The man had moved behind them he had already sliced both their heads off at the same time by imbuing mana into his swords. The still-standing bodies of the titan slowly drop to the cement road. The man now turns around and finally takes his hood and mask off, finally presenting clear evidence to Daiki and Aiko that he has returned.
