Chapter 10 - CHAPTER 9: VESTIGIAL ECHOES

The guild master a golden blonde haired woman who looked fairly young was busy filing paperwork for the recent acquisition of biome contracts under her guilds assignments, That was when her secretary had come in with urgent news , something grave , an anomaly, a high complex biome construct, anomalous in every sense of the word it had appeared between an industrial and residential center seventy kilometers south of the guilds current location.

At ground zero several civilians caught in its area of effect as well as some high ranking knights, She stood up from her seat immediately, in all her years as a guild master, let alone as a knight had such incidents ever happened. Hell even when her father was incharge of the guild. this never happened before this is an anomaly , this catastrophic event took place in their midst i there own city as she looked outside her window what she could see scared her the dome of vermillion energy oppressively spinning above ground dwarfing skyscrapers especially in B.O.A living zone where the concentration of natural ura was low , minimal the chances of this happening were minimal at best like the eruption of a dormant volcano. nye impossible that's the neat part almost ,an improbable chance a sudden disaster can occur the biome dome glew ominously from the horizon as if filled with pure pressure radiating from its point of origin, its ura could only be described as one thing dense.

Her secretary spoke, Madam Arete "The biome has a fortitude rating of atleast eleven, its power levels."

"Other high ranking members of this knights had already been dispatched, awaiting your orders Madam Arete." 

In a few short moments they were all assembled infront of the biome waiting for commands from Grand general Asimov Untaro , a national grade knight an E.V.O user the Black guardian suit.

Arete was a S-2 Tier knight with the main force the knights had assembled being at minimum at this point were A ranks each capable of specialized combat and evasive maneuvers . For anyone below the power threshold entry into this anomaly of a biome would be suicide.

They entered the biome under Asimov's command as the entered the biome they had noticed the space around them beginning to distort and translate as it became much bigger covering an internal diameter equivalent to a whole fucking continent of all things, there were pockets of their original cities but most were left in ruin as they saw specterlike monster whom glowed on the ethereal black with red undertones, They weren't all fully consumed however some having coal black fur , this was the first level they charged in with speed and haste buffed by one of Asimov's men.

They split up to cover the maximum distance with the heavy hitters taking the frontline as they mowed down monsters, they got stronger the monsters as they passed through the second barrier, that's when they saw it a rapidly falling giant fist that nearly crushed them as they moved leaving Asimov in the center who held it back as he pushed it off him as his suit glowed filling with kinetic energy , rock like titans around them as they charged, the central core of Asimov's suit had began to glow the suit began to charge as he erupted in a force of energy standing in the giant form of the black guardian armor standing at thirty meters tall she began to pound away at the stone titans while other knight provided support.

Kaina Nemuri was defending a a different front within the second dome she was flying around using her gear stunning her opponents as she flew over them as she shot them down defending the E.M.T medics who were clearing buildings at a rapid pace rescuing trapped civilians,

She had encountered a certain humanoid creature , an Antare, one of the possesed humans. She had a visor on her head, with a pale white face surrounded in shadowy armor as a manic grin appearing, her hair was ethereal inhuman in its glow and quality it was short in inform of a bob cut., it charged at her landing a heavy kick as it sent her flying back she saw its legs, propulsion based as she looked at its arms they opened up igniting with fire alight as energy beams were fired at her, she dodged them.

Kaina diverted its attacks from her supports. Flying further into the sky as she was followed there was no banter the expression on her face its skin shone like the light was its very being. 

Sung park began running within the second barrier's territory, this was wrong something was seriously off each one of the other groups was already fighting as he quickly sidestepped an attack, a dagger appearing in his hands as a quad-armed hardlight orc looked at him with fury in its eyes. It began its assault once more as Sung's red hair and gold eyes shown as exploded into a burst of speed, he fought defensively against the orc its visage was familiar this was Tarrot he was possesed one of the older more seasoned lower A-level knights, they fought for hours in a stalemate in his favor with support from his back up assistants from his wife Arete's guild, they fought as they were pursued into the to the fifth barrier where they met alone figure sitting in the center with similar metal accents , a bladed armored monster with a greatsword Nyxora she said her name she was was imposing more inhumane a lux Entenebris converted into one or self regenerating Norvanite she stood with a mask covered face and heavy sleek metal armor that looked futuristic, she began to transform armor plates shifting as it took the form of her mechanical dragon, its greatsword dividing into three parts attaching themselves onto his wings and tail as Nyxora attacked , the four entities were holding them back from reaching the barrier even the users of the E.V.O armor couldn't break passed them, the blade maiden piloted by Kaina was being manhandled by the speed based 'Tenebri-Antare,' They didn't attack to kill more attack to subdue, to holdback to prevent them from reaching the central core of the biome its barrier glowed with power spinning with power as they saw were flashes of light and thundering attacks, that took place beyond their perception, followed by a blue-cyan flash was seen from the biome, this was arc activating critical collision using his multiple corpses as fuel, followed by mass explosive wind that sent everyone but the E.X.O users flying after the white flash from the now spinning, they were wounded, the E.M.T paramedics were advised to stay back and these entities were still functioning, they weren't damaged in the slightest as the amber glow coming from their yes began to diming turning scarlet as they paused in their movement they turned back to the now stationary barrier which had lost all color as it cracked, they began to fade away into shards of amber , white and red light they smirked or at least the equipped with a visor did as she faded, they all faded away.

An entity humanoid in nature had emerged covered in red flames concentrated in black fire was seen misty with unseen pressure, they looked in shocked he came from the center of the altar within the wasteland. but the moment he left the confines of the barrier it collapsed in a heap, they looked on shocked as the flames disappeared what remained was a stark naked young man with immense musculature a steady uratsu flow passing through his body, he was muscular at a height of six foot two perfectly balanced as if his body was hardened through immense training over the years almost divine in its quality guided by perfected genetic composition and hard work.

 The divine flames still licked at his wounds which closed up as he lay there comatose. 

Arete and the rest of the knights looked on mortified, confused at the sight as one of their own Sung Park Bergschrund , comedically decided to poke him with a stick to see if he was alive an E.M.T arrived pulling down their helmet as the face of a werewolf with an luxurious wild mane which glowed with healing light glowing golden eyes over a docile snout and maw this e.m.t healer was Prof. wolfsbane, Deveraux Wolfsbane, his name a contradiction to his nature, as he performed diagnostics on the human.

He was human to say he least but what he had undergone was similar to full recovery of all ligaments muscle tissue and organs what worried him were his internals no not the organs ,the circulatory system ura system and its cores he could see it no feel it the core in the flames below the soul core possesed by all living beings ,the genesis sphere of this biome was bonded to him this was unprecedented, anomalous structure was bonded to him, the had cleared the contents of the internal core, sixth barrier on his own as he looked at the pathways and conduits He saw traces of. no raw rudimentary or juvenile coils reminiscent of developing youths younger than nine as they started over the voided regions in his body like circuitry imprinted into a motherboard within him, his mind felt hollow in a specific regions unsettled a characteristic of trauma probably memory loss this variation would be particular hard to cure , the subjects had lost a large portion of all their memory.

Arete looked down at the unconscious male whos breathing seemed to relax as they lay in deep sleep, a certain memory of hers resurfacing as she recognized his features, the two lines under his eyes specifically as they watched the biome begin to change loosing its intensity and lusture as the surrounding red aura turned blue a harmless cyan as if allowing them to leave at their own pleasure with no danger of immediate closure the biome had become docile.
