Ray was leaning against a rock in the near vicinity having regained his senses recalling the events that took place.He still has hard time believing what just happened now.
Just as Ray was about to give up the struggle he felt a shock wave strong enough to make one feel as if the whole world was quaking then suddenly the root holding him was lunged into the air, going with it Ray was also freed from the mind numbing liquid
In air he saw the tree tilted halfway due to what seemed like a punch that was thrown on its stem 'but what could have attacked such an abomination?' Ray questioned himself
While being tossed around like a yoyo ray caught a glimpse of the one responsible for the current state of the tree it was a beautiful lady under the moonlit sky looking more magnificent when basked in moonlight.
The lady didn't even spare a glance towards Ray and with her indifferent attitude simply snapped her finger , ray was confused by her action but realised what it did the next moment.
It seemed as if an external force was applied on the black tree pulling it out of the soil forcefully at first the black tree resisted but soon it was in air.
Ray did not miss this opportunity he quickly broke free from the root and planned on using the gaint shield to float on the liquid
But to his suprise the liquid was also rising up in air.
Then he heard a clapping sound with it all the liquid and caracasses in it started to surround the tree , suprisingly Ray was not affected by their flow or the force directed upon them, he fell down using his gaint sheild to cushion his fall.
Just as he looked up again to see what had happened , he saw a gaint sphere of liquid circling the black tree.
'Snap'
This was all Ray heard before the ball of liquid exploded shattering the tree and splashing that strange liquid all over the place
'Is it over'
Ray thought to himself then he saw what was left of the mouth of the tree it still had many tendrils which were waving mindlessly to find a source of nourishment or footing. Not sure about its actions Ray considered his chances of finishing it as he was about to come to a conclusion the flying lady landed on the monstrosity and ended it's misery with a single devastating punch.
Not suprised by her action Ray started analyzing his savior.
'woman, blue hair, immaculate skin, most likely a saint, looks young but surely isn't inexperienced '
Ray concluded the woman before him was most liked a saint but what was she doing here? It's not like Ray was a legacy , if he had been one he would have surely not fallen in such a predicament well whatever Ray had to give a good impression to his saviour
"Hey"
As Ray said these words awkwardly he was met with a kick to his neck by the lady saint if not for him instinctively turning his gauntlets into a shield and reinforcing it with his aspect he would have lost his conciousness at best or worse could have died
Falling several meters away he looked up to say "wait wha " but he was interrupted mid sentence by the lady saint landing on his belly with a painfull kick
Ray felt pain navigating through his being and found himself falling unconscious Ray tried to muster his strength but it was to no avail , before going blank a passing thought came to him
' At the end it was my own fault for all of this, I hope I won't be missed too much'
Then Ray lost his conciousnes.....
