Finding the Sacred Tree

The adventure begins part 12

Everyone who saw her shouted hysterically and immediately moved away from the palace. Because the palace was very big, so the collapse of the palace made the ground tremble quite strongly and made a huge puff of dust. So much dust, all the places around the palace became covered with dust and it made everyone unable to see clearly.

All the surrounding residents were increasingly wondering, why the palace could suddenly collapse, and honestly they were also panicking because inside the palace was a high-level magic tool that made a barrier in this kingdom. If the magic tool is damaged then the barrier that protects this kingdom for many years will also disappear and it can make the monsters enter the kingdom.

Although in the kingdom there are a lot of Hunter monsters or adventurers. But if there are thousands of monsters, adventurers and Monster hunters are no use anymore. Especially now that John the most powerful monster hunter in this kingdom is dead and that makes fighting many monsters impossible.

It was not long before the citizens were wondering about what was happening in the palace. In the blink of an eye, there was someone who was running so fast, the entire citizens there did not know who it was, because their eyes could not keep up with that speed.

Tal only saw the silhouette of someone who was running, but also heard the sound of sword fighting everywhere. The people around him were getting more scared and worried. The fear that was fighting the sword was the hunter monsters who were fighting and the incident often happened in that place. There used to be a monster hunter fighting each other's swords for fighting over a woman, and because of that fight, one of the monster hunters died and 5 people who wanted to break them, were seriously injured. Because of that incident, the monster hunter who had made a mess and had killed someone was fired from his job became the Monster Hunter. He can't hold a gun for his whole life.

Since the sound of the sword fighting was heard everywhere, they thought that the sword fighting was not just one, but more than one. So because they do not want to be the victims of their fights, the residents immediately stay away from the place as far as possible.

There was one of the residents who had just run a few meters, but his steps stopped because suddenly there was a stone fist that almost made his head bump. The stone was half a cent more will hit his forehead, but fortunately the stone managed to hold someone. Of course that person is me. I was holding back the rock that the masked man threw.

"Hey.it's a duel between the two of us, lest you make the citizens hurt."

"What do I care about that, after all, he won't die from it either, maybe he'll just bust it."

"Baulif? I'm not sure about that." I took off the stone and my palm immediately flushed and shook as well.

"Go!" I told the man to leave and luckily he left quickly.

"It's weird huh. I punched and hit the ground several times, but you look fine. Do you have any special abilities?"

"I don't know either."

"Then want to test it?" The masked man pulled out a sword out of nowhere.

This can be said to be very dangerous, because he uses his bare hands can be very strong, especially if using a sword. I held my sword even tighter and further sharpened my senses. But just as I blinked, he suddenly disappeared somewhere. I tried to hear around and I didn't hear the slightest sound of footsteps.

"Where is he?"

Shortly after, suddenly a sword pierced through my stomach from behind. It hurts a lot, but I'm used to this pain. Without caring about the pain in my stomach, I immediately turned around and immediately swung my sword firmly.

My sword hit him and it was the first time, but unfortunately it only hit his sword. My attack is honestly very strong, so strong it can make the wind strong enough and make the dust puff disappear.

Although my attack was very strong, but the masked man stopped my attack very easily. After stopping my attack, he disappeared again. Like before, I don't know where he's going. Then then he appeared again behind me only to pull out the sword that stuck in my stomach and then disappeared again.

[He didn't run very fast until he disappeared, but he completely disappeared. I can't rely on my senses, but I have to rely on my instincts and unfortunately I'm very bad at this.] I said in my heart.

I closed my eyes to concentrate. I had to concentrate on finding the whereabouts of the masked man. I could not believe that when I closed my eyes, I could see the terrain around more clearly. It was like I had a second eye watching me above.

When my concentration was very high I saw someone approaching me and I was sure it was a masked man. Then because I knew where the man was, I immediately raised my sword and immediately swung it towards the man.

"Here you are!" I swung it and the attack made quite a strong wind.

"What's attacking you?" The masked man was beside me clenching his hands.

"I'm guessing I suck at this." I too was in boxing until it bounced far enough until I hit the houses of the citizens.

I got a pretty big chunk of rock, but I was able to get back up. As I got up, the masked man walked leisurely towards me. He put on a bored face, but also looked happy.

"I thought you were strong enough, but you were very weak, but still I admit that you are tough enough to stand up to me all this time. Actually I want to continue this fight, but I've got a new mission letter."

"Mission? Don't think you can escape me!"

"Snow? Who's gonna run?" The man pulled out an hourglass the size of a palm.

"This? You don't know this?"

"Don't know what it is?"

The man laughed a little.

"It's weird you don't know this, then you want to see it." The man broke the hourglass. I guess it's a booster magic like the one from the Crickets. But when the hourglass was destroyed, nothing happened to him. Even the situation is the same as before.

Not long after that, the screams of people were heard. I who was in the house of the people was curious, what was outside. So I went out to check on the situation. After coming out it turns out that what makes the residents scream is they see a large meteor that is heading here.

I wasn't too worried at first because there were still barriers protecting this kingdom, but then I realized that the barrier didn't exist.

"Don't!"

"Truely, this is a barrier-making magic tool." The masked man came out of the house.

"What are you planning!? it's not like your plan worked here! If you slaughtered everyone here instead of the ritual it would fail."

"It is true that it has succeeded here, but unfortunately elsewhere it fails to continue. That's why we're planning something new, which is to kill the Locker."

"Locks?"

"Yes, someone who has confined our family in the Unseen realms. At first we thought that locking our family in the supernatural realm was a god, but after we researched further, it turned out that the person who had locked our family was one creature in this world. So that's why we're hunting him now. To be honest I was told to search this kingdom, but because it was too troublesome, so I chose to slaughter everything and it was more time-saving."

"You said family? What do you mean by that?"

The man fell silent. Shortly after, he spoke again.

"Well man, I'll tell you 1 little secret, before you die in a meteor strike." The man took off his mask and it turned out that the man had no face at all.

"You Unseen Creature!"

"Not completely, I am the result of a cross-marriage between supernatural beings and humans."

"Couldn't you? No, no, no. I can't think about that right now. I have to get the meteor to fall into the kingdom first." I wanted to leave, but my shoulder was suddenly patted by the masked man and it made me unable to step.

"You think you can just run away."

"Let go!" I swung my sword, but then, he kicked my leg until my leg was bent to the side that it shouldn't be.

"Argh..." I fell down and could no longer walk.

"So a great fight. But it looks like you have to die now." The masked man pulled out a sword out of nowhere, then he directly stabbed me right in my heart. Immediately I died and fell to the ground with the sword still stuck in my chest.

After I fell to the ground, the masked man reached into my pocket to look for something. Shortly thereafter he picked up the black book and immediately kept it in his pocket.

"I took this book. You don't need it anyway." He asked my body.

After putting it in his pocket, he instantly disappeared in an instant.

The meteor was getting closer, all the citizens were running around to save themselves. They no longer care about their families, let alone their children. They are busy saving themselves. In addition to people who run there are also people who are silent while watching the meteor coming towards him, he is a person who has resigned to his circumstances. In fact, he is the most realistic person there because, indeed, there will be no one who managed to survive the fall of the great meteor.

People are screaming for help. But unfortunately there will be no one to save them. The meteor fell to the ground and made a big enough explosion and made the kingdom of Daman instantly disappear.
