Not Enough.

He launched the condensed gravity and it travels through the air, distorting time and space.

My body moved by its own, saving people within a short time, five seconds until the condensed gravity hit the target.

But I know my limits. It was impossible for me to save all of them. So, I do what anyone would do in a short time.

I traveled through the street thrice faster than a commercial airplane, found my targets and immediately escorted them to safety. It wasn't smooth. I need to keep together my mist form when traveling at a higher speed or it'll hard for me to reassemble.

After I escorted them to safety, I withdraw my mist form and panted heavily. Sweat trickled down my forehead. My body was shaking after traveling faster than the usual.

My body got heavier, and as much as I tried to stay still, I fell to the ground.

However, the exhaustion couldn't be compared to the powerlessness and helplessness I felt. It stings my heart, and felt like it was being torn apart. Everything seemed dark and cold.

"What's going on?" A female voice asked in confusion. Her voice break me from my reverie. I looked at the people I saved.

A girl and a boy. The boy seemed to be in my age, younger perhaps. He had jet black hair and blue eyes. He wore a school uniform. Something stand out about him is that he carried a blue sword on his waist.

The girl looked like she's entering her twenties. She had blue hair mixed with pink and rocking a rock style outfit.

Both has confusion in their expression.

'So it has happened. I didn't think I would get involved. The location is different, but the event still remains the same.' The boy whispered something. His expression turned to deep contemplation.

"Hey, are you okay?" The girl asked in concern.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

Quickly afterward, my heart jumped and I turned around. The condensed gravity hit a tower and in an instant, everything was disintegrated.

The buildings, the street. It was gone in mere seconds, only leaving a giant crater.

The boy had a calm expression while the girl was shocked and terrified.

"My mom. My mom was there," she said with a shaky voice and pointing at the crater.

"Vie!" I yelled and pointed my finger at him. My expression was livid with rage.

"You don't have to shout. I can hear you," said Vie with contempt.

I was about to blow him up to pieces when I sensed impending danger. I stopped and grabbed the girl. For the boy, he's one step ahead of me. He had already left just when I sensed it.

I leaped back a few times. Where I stood earlier, a giant sword abruptly formed and crashed. It caused a small crater and debris went everywhere.

"I'm sorry for your loss, but you gotta go. This place isn't safe." I let her go. She realized that being in sorrow wasn't the right time and ran away to safety.

I turned my eyes back. A knight slowly walked towards me while carrying a white sword.

"What's your plan?" I assumed a fighting stance. To be honest, after extending my stamina on saving those two, I felt weak and not in my best condition. I can't fight. It wasn't doubt, but a clear understanding of my body.

No, on second thought, I can still fight. Not winning, but enough to tire him and let someone else finish him. If not, buying some time for the others to complete their task.

"Hey, something happened. I don't think I can handle Moose. Can I ask Miem to handle him?" I speak at the watch.

[Yes, I heard. They're a mercenary group called the Scarecrow. Someone must've hired them to get the device. We mustn't let them retrieve it!] Len ordered.

"I already know that." I turned off the call.

"You're weak." The knight pointed his blade at me.

"Is that so? Sorry to disappoint you. So, who hired you? Is the money worth more than your life?"

"Just bark and no bite." The knight rushed at me. At the same time, translucent swords slowly took shape on his back.

As he went in my way, I quickly took a puff and summoned Puffy. The phantom immediately made its move and jumped at the knight.

The translucent swords finished taking form and launched towards me. I dodged them by the moment's breadth.

While I was busy dodging them, Puffy and the knight were stuck in a strength contest with Puffy pressuring the knight down. The knight endured. Its immense strength caused the ground to cave in and crack.

The knight emitted out a battle cry and pushed Puffy. After some time, Puffy slowly lose its strength and this allowed the knight to turn the tide.

He pushed Puffy away and it was sent back for a few meters. It stabilized its ethereal body and didn't immediately attack, it stayed still as if it was thinking.

On the other hand, the translucent swords kept coming at me. It seemed it won't stop coming unless I defeated the knight.

I thought for a moment and came up with an idea. I turned into mist and relocated somewhere far away.

I took a puff and breathed out a mouthful of smoke. I spread the smoke around the knight, covering its line of vision.

Still, the swords kept coming. It seemed he has other methods to see, just like how I could 'see' through the smoke. Well, it doesn't matter. It wasn't my plan to limit his vision to begin with.

In my mist form, I blend in with the smoke and see how he was doing.

I can see a strange energy surrounding him, preventing a single smoke from getting close to him.

"I know all about you, Sunny. How you use your powers for your enemy to breathe in the smoke and you destroy them from the inside."

"I'm glad I'm becoming more well known." My voice echoes in the smoke.

"Not for long. Today is the day you die!" The knight stab his blade to the ground. A strange energy exploded, blowing away the smoke. I was sent flying for a few meters. Puffy held on its ground.

"What are you going to do now?" The knight smiled proudly. He also purposefully stopped launching the swords.

I stabilized myself and left the form.

"Defeat you. I thought it was impossible, but I guess I was just overthinking it."

"Defeat me? How?" He laughed.
