The Guardian: The Elementalist

Perplexities

Sandy agreed with Alex's comments. He was also reluctant to kill people who did not even have any business with him.

"Why are you quiet, Sandy? Help us! You're a young man too! We are outnumbered! Why are you sitting there?" ask Atlas.

"Dark Warden has come to attack!" shouted one of the. There was also a loud cheer coming from all directions.

The people looked very prepared for Ray's arrival. It makes Ray and his group cornered.

"Haha! Even though you're the Dark Warden who can control all the elements, you won't be able to face all of us!" shouted one of the.

"Hey stupid boys! Why are you guys quiet? Help us!" shout Boulder. Alex and Sandy are still confused.

Although Ray's group was cornered, clearly they easily subverted those people.

Sandy who initially wanted to help became hesitant when she saw the people helpless against Ray. Even some people seem resigned to face their deaths because the people behind continue to push to face Ray.

"Argh! You are useless!" boltz shouted, his voice seemed to echo. Boulder raised Boltz's body and threw it towards the enemy base.

Cryo knew what to do and he made a whirlwind that circled the people he was with to protect them.

"I'll help" Frost said. Just this time he opened his mouth, making people shocked as he rarely heard him speak.

At that time Frost also controlled the pool of blood around it to participate in spinning along with the wind vortex created by Cryo.

"What's going on out there?" ask Alex. "Something terrible! You better cover your ears" said Alpha.

Alex and Sandy were still filled with question marks, they tried to close their ears and that was when the rumbling sounded so loud it was deafening.

The sound was very loud like the sound of an erupting mountain that was heard from a distance of just a few diameters.

People screamed in pain, even as Alex and Sandy continued to bleed from the eyes, nose, and ears.

"Hey! You two okay?" Kaa looked panicked, she did not expect the two children's reaction to the extremely loud sound to be very alarming.

Boulder made a hole in the ground and told Atlas and Kaa to put the two boys in.

The rumbling finally stopped after half an hour. Cryo immediately stopped the whirlwind he made so that the terrible scene outside was clearly visible.

As far as the eye could see they only found a black expanse like an explosion mark, but it was huge. There were even black circles in the sky like huge holes.

"It's bigger than ever! Really horrible! Did you never train him to hold back? What he was doing right now was clearly damaging to nature! The Chron will not remain silent when they know this!" kaa.

"I also don't understand why he could be like that! This always happens when he is pressed, our good fortune is not swallowed by him! Previously, Boulder and Inferno were also sucked into the lightning flash. If it happens to all of us, then Stephen Kingdom will be wiped out" Alpha said.

'It's my fault! Because we lack people, we have to get Ray to get all of his body out to help us. From today you better not use that self-replicating ability again. You can't control your emotions very well. I'm afraid not just Boltz, but every one of you made the same mistake" Atlas said.

Finally, with a heavy heart, Ray returned to the way he was. All his body disappeared leaving one person.

Shortly thereafter Alex and Sandy are aware of their tired state. Their faces turned deathly pale upon seeing that terrifying black expanse.

"Where are we?" alex asked confusedly. "Isn't it clear? We're not moving at all! This place that changed shape due to the terrible explosion earlier!' Sandy. Ray just lowered his head, he felt so guilty for showing those young people with something more terrifying than just slaughtering a human.

Alex himself seemed filled with disappointment because the person he had admired was a destroyer.

"I don't fit in here! I have to go! I gotta get out of here!" said Alex. He immediately ran without a clear direction, he just ran as fast as possible and hoped that those people would disappear from his sight.

'Hey, Alex! Come back!" yell Kaa. Unfortunately Alex didn't listen, he kept running away from them.

On the other hand Sandy did not know what to do, the three adults looked gloomy because of the great disaster that had just happened, even Ray doesn't care at all even though Alex keeps running away from where they are.

"Ehm, I'm going to go after Alex and bring him back" Sandy said. "All right, I'm begging you, Sandy!" Atlas. Sandy nodded and ran straight away.

Unfortunately after a few minutes of running, he realized something and stopped. He had just run in an unclear direction, even he had doubts he was in the right direction to pursue Alex because there was no trace of a foothold in the expanse of black.

"Argh! Bodo greatly!" she then kept running while shouting Alex's name. But he never found it, there he was more lost because the place of the three adults was no longer seen in front of him.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"It's been over 30 minutes! Why isn't Sandy coming home?" ask Kaa. "What if they get lost? In a place like this.can't it be bad?" ask Atlas.

Ray just now slumped began to wake up. We have to go after them! 30 Minutes is enough time to run very far for the nature controller! We have to hurry before we lose track of them!" ray panicked.

He had not expected to be so careless as to dispel his surveillance of the two young men in such a dangerous place.

"Ti.. There's not a trace! This expanse of land was extremely hard!" Atlas. "Argh! What if Sandy doesn't catch up with him?" ask Ray.

"That means the two children can get lost in different places" Kaa said. "Argh! Why is it getting so complicated?!" Ray looked very upset and kept ruffling his hair.

"Calm down, Ray! If you continue like that, the two of them will be nowhere to be found! We have to think clearly and look for the right direction!" kaa.

"Then? Where are the two of them going? That expanse of land looks the same, everyone!" Atlas.

"Everyone leaves a trace! Not even that small! Even a drop of sweat! Ray, try to check this expanse of land! Since it just exploded, I'm sure there hasn't been a trace of life other than the two of them" Kaa said.

Ray also tried to check with his eyes, he found some footprints on the expanse of land even though it was vague. "It looks like it's their sweat! Found it!" exclaiming Ray.

Finally they followed the trail of sweat with the help of Ray's vision.

After a long walk, they found a trail that strayed from his direction. "What should we do now? It looks like the two of them are going in different directions" Ray said.

Kaa started biting her fingers, she tried to think hard to find a solution.

"All right! Can you show me where the other trail is headed? I'll go alone and you two together" Kaa said.

"That's impossible! Why are you going alone?" Atlas seems to be against it. "No need to worry, I can open the gates between worlds in a few more hours. I'll go straight back if the situation is unfavorable" Kaa said.

"You have to promise to do it!" Atlas. Kaa laughed too. "It's not like you usually worry about me like this" Kaa said.

"This place is very different from the rest of the earth! You have to be careful! There's no more Chron on our side if you're gone" Atlas said.

"All right, just calm down! I'll be back in good shape" Kaa said. Eventually they split up to follow the trail
