Trial of The Weak: Part 5

The ice sword missed Bob by an inch as Lelia pulled him away.

"Emma what's wrong with you?!"

"Lelia that guys a cannibal!"

Lelia became confused when she heard that and let go of the chief.

Taking a second look at chief Bob, he mouth was bloody.

Lucas and Aiden also saw this.

Lucas grabbed out his weapon and pointed it at Bob.

But he was far too gone, only repeating Vira.

"Vira….. Vira.."

"What the hell is wrong with him?"

The group looked at the odd scene in front of them.

Then everything turned red.

High in the sky, the moon had become red and engulfed it in a flash.

Everything was happening to quickly for them to think when the chief's house exploded.

**BOOMMM**

The inpact of the explosion was so extreme that it sent them flying.

Chief Bob had slammed onto the nearest building and it collapsed on him.

The flames were everywhere, nothing left their touch.

They weren't ordinary flames.

The flames didn't kill them but took on a green-red color, while it caused immense pain.

It didn't burn the body but put them through a 'rebirth', changing everything in its path.

Everyone was covered in the fire, Lucas tried his best to put it out but nothing worked.

Like it was a god's will.

The red moon spread it's light towards the sky, turning the blue and bright sky into darkness.

Bats and ghosts flew from areas unseen to the mortal eye and the undead crawled and broke through the ground.

All going to the same place.

Where Vira should have been.

But Vira was long gone, not dead but something else.

A holy presence descended and twisted the green-red flames.

The undead grew faster after fully recognizing their enemy.

The fires of rebirth blew on the undead, bursting them and exploding.

Heads of zombies, skeletons, and ghouls where flying crazily.

But because of the endless undead, the fire couldn't grow.

Like that, a standstill was created.

The greenery of the trees and grass lost their color with Gheasis abandoning the village.

Everything died under the gods power, unable to even struggle.

In the group's vision, everything soon turned white with the scene still going.

In the background, they heard Vira's voice echo with moans and whines.

….

….

Watching the flames turn into green-red flames after enough time, Roseline felt the ground shake.

She frowned and backed away.

But a screech reached her ears and dodge the incoming attack of the bats.

Bat after bat came towards her and became to much to handle, getting hit by one and slowly down significantly.

More and more hit her shadow before she came to a halt.

The shadows had already climbed to her thighs and reaching her lower stomach.

'Shit!'

All she could do was try to stop the other bats from reaching her.

A explosion happened behind her

**BBAANNGG**

Her ears started to ring and Roseline put her hands on them to block out the noise.

The sound had distracted the bats and made them leave to check, giving Roseline breathing room.

The shadow was still firmly stuck to her.

'How am I getting out of this?'

She tried to use Blood Swipe on them but it had no affect.

The flames spread quickly through the forest and soon got close to her.

'I can use that!'

Blood Swipe was used in a nearby tree affected by the fire and fel down on the shadow behind her.

The shadow spiked up and bursted into flames.

Roseline ran a few feet across to put distance between her and the shadow.

The bats flew to the fire, trying its best to contain it.

Undead that crawled out of the ground went to help the bats.

They didn't have the time or energy to focus on Roseline, making it possible for her to run.

She looked towards the village and thought for a moment before sprinting to the burning ruins of the village.

Heat went against her skin and pain began to flow through her.

Her cells became agitated and it almost felt like they were doing backflips hundreds of times over.

Roseline took in a deep breath and looked around the village.

The house that she had once entered was now gone.

A crater had replaced it, a pillar of green-red light that reached the skies in the center.

Seeing the pillar made Roseline certain that it must be the objective of the trial.

She moved towards the pillar slowly.

Doing so, the pressure of the pillar pushed in her.

If it wasn't for her stats, she would have been blown away.

Perhaps impaled by wood or have the houses collapse and bury her.

The wind blew strong enough that tornadoes could be formed, throwing everything everywhere.

Once she was 20 steps away from the pillar, blood started to drip from her mouth.

Internal injuries had been formed from the pressure pushing the organs and almost squeezing them into a pulp.

But she had to continue to the pillar, the steps taking several seconds to execute.

19 steps away.

18 steps away.

…

10 steps away.

Her mind felt like it was on the verge of exploding.

The fatigue from earlier started to catch up and made it more difficult of a journey then it already was.

'Almost there…..'

Taking the step, she suddenly fell and hit the floor.

**BANG**

Forced to crawl and struggle towards the pillar, she continued.

Her teeth cracked and broke, bones fractured, eyes bloodshot.

Soon she reached the pillar.

Raising her hand weakly, what she saw from inside the pillar was a young girl with brown short hair and eyes tightly shut, like in a nightmare.

Then everything turned white.

In a office with holograms up, Atlas bowed to Sean's hologram and told him the situation.

"Hmm is that so?"

"It's like those kids disappear into thin air."

"…"

"Could it be the Xalorians?"

"No they would have attacked a lot more violently."

Sean sighed and looked at Atlas deeply.

"I'll send Seth there. He can see things you guys can't after all."

Altas gave a nod to Sean.

"Yes sir."

With that, the call ended.
