Chapter 71 Golden Hands

Without anything to suggest what was going to happen, a massive tower formed underneath Chrys, sending him high in the sky like the one he did for Morgan earlier. Only this time, the tower is significantly thicker and taller.

As the tower continued to rise, the air that got displaced formed a powerful gust heading for the Immortals.

The Immortals bravely stood their ground against the wind, as they gazed up the tower that suddebly appeared infront of them.

"What was that all about?" One of the Immortals asked, gazing up the massive tower ahead.

Before anybody could reply, the tower immediately stopped growing before cracks, that glowed a golden color, crawled down it's side.

Sensing an incoming attack, an Immortal cautioned. "Be careful. His attack pattern along with his demenour has changed."

Almost immediately after saying that, the tower rocky sides flipped open, like a blooming flower, this odd actions echoed through out the whole tower, making it look like a very prickly log.

Then suddenly, an Immortal realized what was about to happen. Her eyes widened with desperation and terror as she yelled. "Everyone! Group up, back to back!"

And with outmost precision and trust, all the Immortals grouped up in a circle facing outwards with the injured being kept in the middle.

And for a very brief moment, the Immortals with more blessed hearing, heard a laughter coming from atop the tower. "Ha! Ha! Haha! Ha! Ha! Haha!"

Although they were freaked out, some Immortals, who were more blessed with eyesight, experienced more fear than them.

They saw the bits of the tower poking out, sharpen themselves, rotate, and take the form of a sharp cone, almost like a bullet.

And without further warning, the tower mercilessly shot down on the Immortals with it's thousands of rock bullets.

The Immortals furthest out from the circle with the help of their Lucile, managed to hold out on the barrage of attacks with difficulty.

With the attacks coming from above, the Immortals further in the circle dealt with them inorder for the others to do their part.

While the teeth-gritting uninjured Immortals fought for their lives, the injured Immortals in the center of the circle are being threated by the others.

"You'll be fine. You'll be fine. It's only a flesh wound, and maybe a little bit of a fracture. You'll be fine." The Immortal tending to the wounded, repeatedly said.

As they continued to fight the rock bullets coming from the tower, which seems to be getting thinner thanks to using itself as material for the rock bullets, the Immortals felt a strong gust of wind blow through their hair.

The few that could spare their attention, followed the wind's direction. Eventually leading their vision to the sky where ten massive spheres of golden lights seem to be forming.

"Incoming!!!" The Immortals, who saw the spectacle above, screamed in order to warn the others.

The Immortal, who weren't busy with dealing with the rock bullets, stared at the golden sphere of lights as they said to themselves. "I don't think we can simply deflect that."

Then, one of the older looking Immortal yelled. "Weaken it before it gets to us! We can't afford to be separated!"

Acting on their sister's command, the Immortals, that weren't preoccupied at the moment, all fired their Lucile like bullets up in the sky as the ten golden spheres started to fall on them.

"Aaa!!!"

The Immortals let out their warcries as they continued on battling the rain of rock bullets from the ever depleting tower, and the ten golden spheres in the sky.

With great effort, the Immortals managed to destroy the golden spheres just before it landed on them, scathering to millions of tiny golden sparks, mimicking stars in the night sky.

As the rest of the Immortals continued on fighting of the rock bullets, an Immortal fell to her knees as she looked up on the tiny golden sparks in the air while she said to herself. "Jeez! If I wasn't with my sisters, I'd already be dead!"

As the Immortal breathed a sigh of relief, she saw something at the corner of her eye that made her feel utter terror.

She saw in the middle of the group, a man standing while holding up another Immortal by the face with his glowing golden hands.

The man then parted his manic smile as he said with a loud, clear voice. "Five..."

After hearing his voice, all the Immortals that weren't busy, all looked at his direction. Seeing Chrys holding up an Immortal by the face.

"Four..."

Hearing him countdown another second, the Immortals erupted in yells as the Immortal within Chrys' grasp realized the situation she was in.

She immediately began punching and kicking with her Lucile-infused limbs, but Chrys' aura protected him from getting hurt.

"Help her!"

"Get him off her!"

"Help her, dammit!"

The Immortals shouted with outmost desparation as they hurried towards Chrys. Those close enough immediately attacked Chrys without hesitation, only to have their attacks completely negated by Chrys' aura.

They attacked him on the wrist, on the arm, in the crotch, but all of it failed to even make Chrys flinch like he did before.

"Three..."

As they continued on pummeling Chrys with attacks, the Immortal within Chrys' grasp, who was still trying to fight her way out, made eye contact with Chrys.

She stared directly at the pure golden disks within Chrys' eyeballs. Although she tried to peel her eye away from him, she couldn't.

"Two..."

Amidst all the attacks, Chrys remained unscathed. His face forming an expression made of pure bliss and insanity. But within the Immortal's vision she saw a hint of water forming at the corners of Chrys' eyes.

Feeling the end nearing, the Immortals attacked Chrys with their outmost strenght in order to free their sister who is frozen within his grasp, but their efforts are worthless because of Chrys' aura.

"One..."

"Stop it!!!"

"Let her go!!!"

"Please!!!"

The Immortals yelled at the top lungs as they continued to try and free their fellow Immortal, who seemed to have given up, free from Chrys' golden hand.

As tears flowed down the Immortals' determined eyes, Chrys then said. "Zero."

A moment later, the Immortal in his grasp exploded into pieces, splashing her flesh and blood onto the ones she called her sisters.

All the Immortals felt a sense of loss, a sense of helplessness, a sense of anger. The ones that could, all stared at Chrys with hate-filled teary eyes.

Chrys, who doesn't have a single drop of blood on his body thanks to his aura, then looked at the bloodied Immortals around him with his empty looking eyes.

His manic smile opened as he let out an eerie laughter. "Ha! Ha! Haha! Ha! Ha! Haha!

As the barrage of rock bullets ended, all the Immortals yelled in unison. "YOU BASTARD!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!!"

They then all lunged at Chrys with hate-filled expressions. Chrys let all of their attacks hit his aura without a single movement.

Once all of the Immortals have atleast attacked him once, Chrys with a swift, deadly motion grabbed one of the Immortals by the face.

Realizing what he was about to do, the Immortals tried to stop him, but Chrys sent them all away with a swift round of earth spikes.

Although the Immortals could easily block Chrys' earth spikes with their Lucile. That meant they would be knocked back away from Chrys and the Immortal he was holding.

Due to them getting desperate and reckless, some of the Immortals even got hit directly by the earth spikes, drawing blood and impaling them.

After sending all of the Immortals away, even seriously hurting some of them, Chrys covered himself and the Immortal in a pyramid made out of rock.

Without a second thought, the Immortals immediately headed for the pyramid and tried to pry it open with attacks.

Tears flowed through their hate-filled eyes. They gritted their teeth in desperation. The Immortals all felt a sense of weakness knowing that Chrys killed one of their so called siblings, and that he was going to take another.

Then, an Immortal managed to make a hole in the mini-pyramid. She immediately peered in, looking like an enraged animal.

Inside stood Chrys with an extremely happy expression. He is looking down on his hands that seemed to be holding an invisible ball.

Apart from his own body, the inside of the pyramid is painted with flesh and blood. The inside reeked with an awful stench.

Feeling the light enter inside, Chrys' head moved in such a rapid and unusual manner. Turning towards the hole the Immortal used to look inside.

His hollow golden eyes matched her hate-filled eyes. He then opened his manic smile, laughing with a very insane feeling.

"Ha! Ha! Haha! Ha! Ha! Haha!"

The Immortal then clawed apart the hole as she yelled. "YOU BASTARD!!!!"

Meanwhile, in another part of town. The Immortals fighting Celine all looked extremly shocked.

Celine looked at them curiously before she asked in an insulting tone. "What are you idiots looking surprised for? Is it your bed time?"

Lullu, who was the one closest to Celine, kicked her in the abdomen, sending her flying towards one of the buildings.

As Celine pulled herself away from the rubble, Lullu screamed at her. "Do you not feel that?! That was the feeling of one our siblings losing their life!!!"

Celine wiped the blood of her cheek as she replied. "I could not care less!!"

Lullu gritted her teeth as she growled after hearing Celine's insensitive reply, she pointed at the Immortals with her, who are looking at Celine with the same expression as her's.

She then ordered. "Some of you, go beat her to a pulp! Then, take her unconsious body home, we can't lose anymore of us! Some of you, follow me!"

A group left with Lullu, heading for the golden dome, while some remained in place to face Celine with disappointed expressions.

Celine spat out the blood in her mouth as she stood up and continued on fighting.

The time it took Lullu and the Immortals to arrive at the edge of the golden dome, was enough time for Chrys to kill six more Immortals.

One death due to being crushed by a large wall. Another dead due to blood loss. Another dead due to getting impaled and shot by earth spikes and rock bullets. While three are dead due to being blown to bits.

"Ha! Ha! Haha! Ha! Ha! Haha!"

As the rest of the Immortals continued on fighting the crazed Chrys, some of the Immortals dragged some of the seriously injured Immortals to the edge of the dome just on the opposite side of Lullu and the others.

"Sister Lullu! Come help us! Our sisters are seriously hurt!" One of the Immortals inside caring for the injured yelled.

Hearing her pleas, Lullu and the others immediately tried to enter the dome, only to be refused entranced.

They all immediately resorted to violence and attacked the dome. Lullu yelled as they continued on hitting the dome. "What are standing around for?! Help us make a hole in this dome!!"

The Immortals inside the dome, who are able to help, stood up and helped Lullu and the others by attacking on the inside while they attack from the outside.

After a few seconds of sustained attacks, the dome seemed to move. Just as they were about to celebrate, they realized that the dome is steadily closing towards the middle.

In the middle, Chrys is standing in the middle with his hands closed while being surrounded by angry Immortals. Chrys then let out a laugh as he raised his closed fist in the sky, making the dome close in faster.

"Ha! Ha! Haha! Ha! Ha! Haha!"

The Immortals near the edge immediately tried to push back the dome, but they could only slow it down.

Seeing what Chrys just did. The Immortals surrounding him immediately jumped at him and attacked.

"That fucking bastard!!!" Lullu and the others could only curse him, as they were outside the dome.

Then, somewhere else in town. Flid stopped beating down on the pile of rubble infront of him. He looked up in the sky and his eyes landed on the massive golden dome not too far away.

He then said in a surprised and scared tone, like someone just poured cold water on him. "My daughters..."
