Whoosh whossh whossh .
"One by one the guild members from all over the world arrived at the hall whether they were in India, Korea or in the uk they immediately left everything and arrived in Artemis main base that was inside the indian ocean .
"Seraphina sat quietly beside her Noel was standing looking more like a secretary of hers .
In front of them were standing all the guild members of the number 2° guild in the whole Asia.
"There were nearly thousand Rankers present, all radiating a fierce aura and fighting spirit and their ranks were present in front of them .
"Even the lowest ranker present there was B+ ranker .
"Seraphina sat there with a cold face, still it didn't hide the worry about the red sky . Noel stood behind Seraphina like an assistant , the rankers newly present gave him curious looks but didn't ask as this was not the correct time .
"Listen all of you today first time in history all the members of the guild has gathered but her voice turned sad and she continued unfortunately it's not on a joyous occasion as you all know this red sky this phenomenon has appeared all over the planet and the last words that sounded in all the people present in earth.
"Yes guild master we have encountered and seen the phenomenon and just then we heard your message that we have to come back as fast as possible. If I have to say even if you haven't told me I would have come running back the person scratched his head and said embarrassedly .
"Oye oye don't be embarrassed too in this dire situation who would want to be in a foreign state, it's just asking for trouble. Another ranker said .
"Look at you two both of you are an A+ ranker but still you got scared and wanted to return back so think about the situation of those low rankers and even those civilians who don't have anything related to this world of fantasy Seraphina sighed and said .
"Just then they all felt the surroundings around them become bounded . Spatial fluctuations came all around them .
"Seraphina felt something wrong and just then her sponsor, who had not responded to her for a long time, conveyed a single last message but it still made her skin crawl in fear .
"Try to survive as long as possible as all the rankers in this world will be hunted and even if you survive your ranks, profession all will be taken away .
"And this time the thread between them terminated, showing that they were now no longer related to each other .
As these message were relayed in her mind she felt the strange behaviour in space and understood what it was .
"Go Run fast out of the building.!! She shouted .
"Go go go.!!!
Guild maste–, a ranker tried to say something but then
A sharp crack echoed no one understood for a second what happened
Thud!!
"The man's body fell to the ground but there was no head present there .
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh a ranker shouted loudly and just like that panic spread .
Then another crack and another one body fell then two and then five
"What is happ– again the man's words died in his throat as his head cracked up too.
The crowd broke, they shoved and stumbled into each other but still ran like a madman .
"No nooooo this can't happen."!!!
"Why is this happening to my guild mates.!!
"Seraphina lost it and she raised her hand and the temperature of the room rose .
"First a tip of flame appeared in her hands and then it was a full blown torrent that swayed and created a barrier around her making them distinct from others .
"She turned towards Noel and said, " Use your future sight, use it as many times as you need and try to take all the rankers inside this flame and then we will leave this building before the space is sealed here .
"Understood..!
"Noel said, a bit scared and nervous as his voice cracked.
"He used his skill and saw one second ahead and he got to know whose head will pop .
"Oye you three come inside the barrier of flames if you want to survive fast and all the others too .
All the rankers heard and a seed of hope emerged as if the enemy was present or even seen if they knew what was attacking them they could have tried to do something but all of that was unknown.
And from the time memorial the the strongest and oldest emotion of humans are fear and the strongest fear is the .
"Fear of the unknown.
"Got it leader we are coming. A ranker said and he made his hand slide backwards and a beam of plasma came from his hands the force rebounded him and he directly reached near Seraphina.
"Hah I am an iron man fan, what did you expect from me? The ranker gave a smug look to Noel, likely his main reason to be easing some of his fear as his whole body was shaking.
"The other rankers seeing the man also quickly tried it . One created a thin line of frost near his legs and slid that another person's legs turned like rubber and he just in one jump came into the circle of flames .
"But these were just the cherry of top many rankers whose ability didn't function like they didn't survive all their heads cracked one by one .
"Please.., save me . There was a girl she couldn't breathe .
Her legs refused to move, no matter how much she tried .
Tears blurred her vision as the screams around her grew heavier and louder.
I am going to die,.
Noel looked at a girl not any older than him trying to survive her rank despite being above him by a large margin. This made him understand that these ranks and all were just the bullshit of a system which was now being destroyed and played with by some outside force .
Noel froze for half a second seeing her lost in thought. If he moved now… he might die too. Another crack rang out.
He clenched his jaw.
"Tch…"
And moved anyway.
"Noel quickly reached her and grabbed her hand and yanked forward.
"Another ranker inside the flame circle waved his hands and the sound of thunder came as his legs started emitting thunder he then suddenly disappeared before the eyes of Noel could follow him but then he felt a hand grabbing him and at the next second he was again present at the circle with the girl .
"What- just happened.!! I was there and now I am here!!. Noel was confused.
Don't fret over it too much, Seraphina said and turned towards the baldy man that saved him .
"He is Neil, the speedster of our guild and the vice guild leader too .
"Oh!! Thanks for your save if you weren't there, maybe I could have died there . Noel muttered.
"No no it was all you by seeing you trying to save the girl and your courage only then i helped otherwise I am a pretty coward too he smirked and said.
"The girl was unconscious, still better than being dead.
"Brock grab that girl and carry her on your shoulder and be ready we are going to jump from this building all of you be little aside as i will use my powers. Seraphina relayed her words to all of them .
With that she lifted her hands and the flames which were forming a circle around them all gathered towards her like a children's coming to their mother's embrace .
"All the fire gathered and compressed into a large sphere that was hearing up all the surroundings
Noel gulped seeing the sphere that was so bright and it's heat was making even breathing feel like a difficult task.
"Seraphina again raised her left hands but this time no fire came but a light breeze blew which soon turned into torrent of tempest she raised both her hands and spinned them in downward motion where the wind came near her sphere and started rotating around the sphere .
She opened her mouth .
"The great wind tears apart the world.
"Where the fire is with you .
"Bring the glory to your wielder.
"The fire burns all . The wind silences all both together light up the world with the shine of
Aurora .
