The Repeaters

34. Win or lose

"Huh. huh.. huh.."

With breathless breath and energy that Leonardo had exhausted walking towards the chunk of ice, he wanted to stare at the frozen Edward. The disbelief was still in his heart, he was not sure if this fight was over.

Step by step he did, but he fell to the ground probably because of too much fighting or his energy had been exhausted. Whatever it is now he's lying on the ground and his breathing's getting irregular.

But this man was still trying to stand up again. He stuck a sword into the ground in order to lift the weak body. He succeeded and is now still kneeling on the ground, but it seems pointless that he once again fell.

[Leo, don't force yourself! The fight is over, look at the enemy seriously! He has frozen.]

I know, but I have a bad feeling..

* swosh*

Something moved so fast that the wind blew, Leonardo opened his eyes wide as he realized something was coming, this time having an evil, dark, and dark aura. This feeling he had met once.

Getting closer and closer. The figure was clearly flying. Carrying a scythe in his hand, a black body, horns on his head, and having bat-like wings on his shoulders this creature was the Rukh he fought a few days ago.

He's the Rukh that Razor and I fought a few days ago, right? Why is he here?.

Rukh flew towards Edward. His left hand gathered wind magic energy. The wind continued to gather in his left hand forming a wind spear that looked extremely sharp.

Leonardo was surprised.

Rukh uses magic?..

Whatever it is. This situation is bad I have to do something.

Leonardo lifted the body lying on the ground, but it was too late. He opened his eyes wide when he saw the desperate thing.

* Brak

The spear wind was thrown towards the ice belonging to Leonardo and quickly created a very strong wind, even the ice belonging to Leonardo instantly shattered with ice as easily as shattering glass.

Leonardo should have crashed very far because the wind was strong, but lucky he was behind the ice so he did not receive the effects of the wind, but did not change the fact that the ice was destroyed. In other words Edward has now returned.

Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit!

Edward fell from a height. This is natural because when it freezes he is in the topmost corner of the ice. He looks unconscious and falls. But the Rukh quickly held the man.

The Rukh stared intently at the surprised Leonardo. His ruby-red eyes stared intently at Leonardo.

"Great are you human too! It's the first time I've seen you cornered like this. If I hadn't gone to help then he would have been dead. Of course dead grimps."

Mister? So he must be Rukh Edward..

But Razor said that she was a collection of the darkness of this city..

"Well, but fate is not always on your side, we have lost a lot of men even the top 3 have lost completely and me and Mr. Edward must definitely leave. It may be like we lost, but if you look up like this, I can conclude. You guys lose too."

Leonardo was shocked to hear what Rukh had to say. He quickly stood up and looked in all directions. There were not many residents there, but all the housing looks destroyed, the previously sturdy buildings have all been destroyed, and he is sure not only in this place. Surely other places are now dilapidated and there could be many casualties floating.

"This war is for the sake of saving two girls right? Just for the sake of two girls you sacrificed a lot of people in this city and in the end what did you get? That's a failure."

Leonardo's heart felt pierced he knew the direction of this conversation.

"In the end you cannot save the girl, but you have sacrificed many lives. You guys are so selfish! Sok did a good thing, but in the end all you did was make things worse. Well, in the end you're the same as us."

"Prepare to be hated. Humans."

"This fight We are the winner!"

After that without much conversation Edward's Rukh left just like that leaving Leonardo who had been exhausted and silent there. He continued to stare at the sky remembering the various efforts he had put in.

He struggled against Edward's subordinates, ran all over the city, fought Edward, and in the end Edward survived. The worst case scenario happens, Monika dies. Just thinking about that made his heart become hot and sick.

His breathing became so messy, he was completely unwilling to accept that fact. His body began to relax he slowly closed his eyes.

"Well, senior! Senior!"

With Leo's battered head and body steady to the source of the sound, he saw Razor running towards him. His body was also battered, for sure he was up against many enemies.

"How are things here? Did Monika survive? And Edward, seniors must have kicked that jerk's ass, right."

Expectantly Razor asked, she did not yet know the painful facts that awaited. Leonardo was also troubled in how to explain this situation.

"He why? Congratulations right?" a smile full of hope was painted on his face.

Leonardo gulped, he looked seriously at Razor. "It's a little heavy, but listen carefully... Monika is dead."

"?!"

Putting on a surprised face is what Razor can respond to now. Of course he could not accept this fact.

"Are you serious?!"

"I'm serious Razor, I'm where I might joke at a time like this."

Razor was in crisis because of emotion, she placed her hand on Leonardo's shoulder and stared intently at him.

"So, what's the point of our efforts all this time?!" He raised his tone, as if Razor would not accept Monika's death.

Razor sighed to calm her mind, she took her hand off Leonardo's shoulder and turned the bada refusing to look at Leonardo.

He ran on the residential wall and hit the wall very hard. He vented all the emotions that were being held back.

"Damn!" One blow to the wall.

"Damn!" Blow to two.

"Damn!" The blow to three.

""Damn it!!"" The blow to four.

Last blow. The blow managed to make the walls of the housing become destroyed. And Razor's right hand keeps bleeding every time she hits the wall.

"It's all my fault! If I had come sooner, maybe something like this wouldn't have happened."

The atmosphere became cloudy, the rain had fallen as if understanding and adjusting to the feeling conditions of these two young men.

"..No, you're wrong Razor.. Monika died not directly. He died because of Edward's magic-circle..."

"Magic circle?"

Razor stopped hitting the wall and looked at Leonardo. Because it was raining he didn't know the man's expression very well, he was crying, or it wasn't obvious. But certainly from the white eyes Razor understand that Leonardo is very lost.

"Yes, the magic circles are all attached to slaves. The circle will react if the slave goes a few kilometers away from the owner."

"So, it's appropriate that Edward doesn't come after us.. Really a jerk!!"

"But, wait.. That's weird! Not that Monika had been in the inn all this time then why was the effect only starting now?!"

"Edward has always been by our side. He's tailing us all Razor! Perhaps Edward had a magic to eliminate the air of existence.. We do not realize that the enemy we are looking for is right in front of our eyes and is actually observing us.. Shit!"

Leonardo hit the ground.

"If only you or I were aware of Edward's existence. Maybe this didn't happen.. Maybe Monika can still live a normal life, she can smile like a normal girl in general, she might be able to continue the adventure with us, and she can wear normal cute clothes... But! But because of my stupidity none of this happened.. Damnit damnit! Shit!"

Leonardo kept hitting the ground, he was very sad and angry. But there was one awkwardness in his feelings, he felt very lost, but tears did not shed a single one.

".. What about Edward?! Did you manage to defeat him?"

[But this may be like us losing, but if you look up like this, I can conclude. You guys lost too. ]

[In the end you cannot save the girl, but you have sacrificed many lives. ]

Leonardo gulped, in memory of the incident Edward was taken away by Rukhnya. "He escaped.. He was taken away by the Rukh we fought a few days ago."

"So so.. The bastard ran away.. Shit!"

".. Sorry.."

"Senior doesn't have to ask for maa-"

Leonardo closed his eyes slowly, his body fell to the ground, he fainted as unexpected events continued to occur. Razor moved quickly she held back the fallen body and said,

"Silent break senior, because the next events will become more severe. Since it's our fault the city's falling apart, we're bound to be hated by one."

Rezor stared at the raining sky with a blank look.
