The context of the conversation made no sense to Chris, and suddenly, everything went silent.
The voice died out, the sound of fighting stopped, and the energy he felt earlier dispersed as well.
Upon getting closer, Chris came across a large slash made across the whole island.

Water had filled the deep cut, making a strange type of stream of seawater.
It was unnatural, to say the least, and was clearly a result of the battle that had taken place.
After a few more minutes of walking ahead, Chris finally reached the beach.
He could see several of these cuts on the island, now filled with water, and what surprised him even more were the corpses of fishes and other sea creatures floating on the water ’s surface.

On the largest crack on the island, which Chris had followed, he could see Leo staring outward.

Looking to his left and then to his right, Chris was expecting to find Zero somewhere on the beach, dead and blood to be spilt everywhere, but the latter was nowhere to be seen at all.

”Where is he? Where is my Master ’s body? ” Chris asked.

”Master? ” Sera said, gripping his broken sword.
It was a regular sword which most likely broke into half during the fight.
Although he had plenty more on his body that he could use, Sera looked reactively tired as well.
He shook his head and replied, ”That so-called Master of yours decided to run away. ”

Chris ’s heart sank when he heard those words.
He didn ’t expect this.

”He…
he ran away…
but why? ”

It made no sense in his head.
The two of them went everywhere together, and before coming to the island, they knew that this was possibly their final stint.
If they were to lose this, then the two of them had done what they could.
They would fight to the death, yet his Master had run away and, on top of that, had done so without him.

”I told you.
That man has changed. ” Leo added.
”I don ’t know if he was different when you first met him. ”

”Perhaps he was softer and closer to the man that I remember, but now he is a man who is willing to abandon someone who has been by his side for so long. ”

”No, wait, even calling him a human would insult all of us. ”

Chris fell to his knees because, in his head, he had lost two things on this day.
The only person he ever really knew, someone like a father to him, and the whole purpose of his life.

”That damned slimy bastard! ” Sera threw the broken sword onto the ground in frustration.

”He already had a lot of power, and then he must have borrowed an enormous amount from that sicko, and who would have thought, huh? ”

”The person who has secretly been running Pure, the very top of the whole organisation, has an ability himself! He certainly left that one till the end. ”

After Cera vented his frustration, Chris was left speechless by Zero ’s hypocrisy.

Leo had come at the tail end just to see a few slashes of their battle.
He was unsure if Zero had decided to leave just because he had turned up, but it certainly did make the latter act differently.

Perhaps, Zero even thought that Chris was dead after seeing Leo leaving him to make his final decision.

”I ’m beat. ” Sera sighed, lying in the sand.
”I ’m tired of chasing after these guys.
We got one of them, so that should be enough, right? ”

”Besides, all the Shelters are now back in the Earthborn Group ’s control, and the Vampire Soldiers are doing well. ”

”The people seem to have taken a liking to them after saving their backside, who would have thought. ”

Leo was unsure if this was the right decision.
Seeing Zero ’s action upon meeting the latter today, he felt that he would come back some day regardless.
Still, the only reason why Leo decided not to give chase was that he would continue to train with his body, and if he met Zero in the future, or if the latter were to he would be ready to take him on.

”Anyway, I don ’t plan to stay here for long.
So let ’s deal with the elephant in the room. ” Sera got up and brushed the sand off his armour and clothes.
”Now, what should we do with this guy? ”

Both Leo and Sera were now looking toward Chris.
