The big three
The desert scourge broke the beacon and went deep underground and like a power ranger he returned to the surface fully transformed .
He had taken a crystal like apperance . With his black eyes tuning into yellow. The claws becoming gold and all the scales becoming shining white . The existing brown scales had turned into pristine white and had a crystal apperance . Somewhat like a diamond .
Mask :
Presenting to you the Crystal Scourge
.
Evan :
I won let you win .
Mask :
You're are mistaken . I have already won .
Now it's time for me to go so
Sayonara.
Mask twirled his cape around and disappear like smoke .
McElroy was tending to Jay who was injured in the unexpected explosion .
In the midst of a dangerous situation Livia used her entire fortune of courage to approach the broken beacon and collect the required pieces of the beacon .
She started picking the pieces one by one . Almost on the verge of crying over when death was looming right behind .
She may have seen the desert scourge for the first time but even she knew . What death feels like .
Meanwhile the master swordsman Evan Swan was analysing the crystal scourge . He tried to find opening between its scales . But there were none . He tried to match elemental affinities . to think of damaging the scourge .

He drew his sword and attached the highest grade elemental stone on the holder . And lightning started surging from the sword .
And Evan Swan rushed towards the crystal scourge. The scourge sprang out from the ground and kept towards Evan . There was no choice but to dodge as he tore the ground and dug deep inside the ground and again sprang up under Evan . With Evan in the air .
With its now 10000 teeth death was imminent . He found a hit spot but it was too dangerous . There were 2 possibility one death by claws and second death by the mouth .
But the narrow opening was just a leap of faith . His sword close held to his chest he felt the static in his body .
He changed his angle of falling . But by bit he slipped past the jaws of death . He went past to the mouth and around its gao. between the first scale and second he pierced his sword .
And the pure electrical discharge seethed into the worm . But it is never enough as the worm had enough resilience he shook off Evan .
The earth started trembling once again and crystals started to emerge out of the ground . These crystals were slightly weaker than the beacon .
But an annoyance . These crystals started growing out of everything buildings waterways . The street .
But This time Evan was cornered he scourge flew out into th open and slammed into Evan with his sharp claws sticking out from his mouth m
Evan took the blow with his adamantite sword . But the ramming continued as he wasn't able to stop the scourge he rammed into buildings with Evan taking the blow .
Using every bit of his sheer strength he managed to stop the scourge in its tracks .
But he was unfortunate because behind him was his daughter Grace standing with awe .
Grace :
Beat him daddy beat him . You foul monster don't stand a chance against my father . Because he is the strongest person in the world .
Evan turned towards Grace as he was surprised to find her .
Evan : (Shout ) Grace runnnnn .
But children and their innocence she was not able to understand the emergency. She simply stared and smiled at Evan .
? :
You had one Job and you couldn't do it right either . Just how soft have you gone . Evan .
Behind him was someone standing . Another man wearing a blue military uniform and with his trusty Zataerium sword .This was noone but the one and only the strongest of the big three
As he rose in the moonlight. He took out his sword.
? :
Let me show you real lightning .
His blade started crackling with white lightning . He gaze felt like heaven's wrath . The crystal scourge lunged towards him and devovered him .
And he came out of the back unscathed .
Inside the mouth of the scourge all the 10000 crystal teeth it grew were broken . But the scourge was still alive .
He lived lightly pierced its skin and the white lightning was let loose . The scourge shreiked in pain as the crystal scales on its body shattered one by one . And he returned to its original form .
Using its last bit of strength it escaped only to be seen after 900 years .
Evan :
I could've taken care of it . You didn't need to intervene . But thank you.
? :
Hmm your daughter takes after her mother . She's very cute .
Erena came running to Evan and she was full of worries .
Erena :
Thank God you're all right. And Grace is safe as well .
? :
Ah long time no see Erena how many years has it been . I see you're family is doing well .
Erena :
You. could've visited atleast once in a while .
? :
Ive been busy for a while . Got many things to do . He what. about returning maybe lending a hand.
Erena :
I would love to be back . But now I'm a mother . I have spent half of it fighting. I would like to spend the rest with my family.
? :
I see what a happy family . I hope it'll stay like this . I've taken care of the worm so I'll take my leave now .
Oh and before I forget here are the reports you asked from me .
Evan opened the letter to see something shocking .
Evan : (inner thoughts)
I knew it felt familiar it was my sword after all . But why is it in such a state .
I need to find them .
Evan tried to find them but they had vanished from the city . And from their lives to be seen again during the Thar chapter .
Lilia :
I think were far from the city .
The city was visible from far a great distance . Lilia wanted to take a last look McElroy and Livia joined them when suddenly a light struck the city and it disappeared into thin air .
On its place was a shabby outpost where the city once belonged .
This puts a close to this chapter and the story steadily proceeds towards its conclusion of the 2nd part .
