Meanwhile in another location, not too far from Gracier's current location Luna. She arrived at the ghost town her destination.
The gentle road that led to Taedmorden was barely more than a dirt path now and covered in shrubs and small bushes. The occasional animal can be heard rustling in the tall grasses of the unkempt gardens or hiding in the wild overgrown bushes.
Doors were broken, rotten, and in most cases barely a door at all. Whether this was the work of looters, animals or the elements was unclear, but it didn't matter. There were signs of fires, in some cases it was merely a trail of soot and smoke above a window pane, in others it was a pile of ash where once a building stood.
Taedmorden, once bustling with life and brimming with light at this hour had become a forgotten relic of the past. Were it not for the occasional bird call the only sound in this town was that of the wind. The sounds of market vendors, playing families, and a loving community were no more.
The main hotel has had a few esteemed guests over the years, but it was now decrepit and starting to collapse bit by bit. A few animals still dare to wander here, but most wisely stay away from the fragile walls.
Despite the decay of the buildings, there was a certain charm about the town. Everything was greener as nature grew wild and the quiet during the day was almost peaceful. But despite being nothing like its former self this town still served its purpose. It was still home to a community and lives still thrived, it was just in the for
m of animals this time.
Luna calmly walked into the ghost town while looking around. She had pursued an enemy into this ghost town, a lively town just a month ago.
''Those scums are becoming more and more unreasonable.'' Luna spat feeling disgusted with the Chaos Organization. They must be eradicated quickly as that.
Suddenly, Luna felt a chill ran down her spine and she immediately kicked her feet against the group and did a backflip.
Bang!
The place where she previously stood was pierced by a pole, the enemy's attack missed her by an air breath.
Talking about this enemy, it appeared and Luna's eyes narrowed upon seeing the thing that attacked her, it was her first time seeing something like this.
''What the hell?"
Four dead eyes view their surroundings from their deep sockets. A wide nose rests below, but it's the small mouth below that takes all the attention. A thin smile reveals two short canines and a wide tongue.
Broad bent ears sit on each side of its long, rounded head, which itself is covered in curly hair.
Its low chunky body stands straight. Two long arms dangle at its sides and end in large hands with thick fingers, each with broad nails.
Its legs are short and slightly bent, each ending in small feet.
Its body is covered in smooth skin and its shoulders are broader than its pelvis.
''Grrrr!" The humanoid abomination which appeared growled before lunging at Luna at extreme speed.
However, facing such extreme speed akin to instant teleportation Luna was calm, she waited for the monster to arrive before her intending to pierce through her skull with its deadly claw before slightly leaning to the side, her movement was so casual that it looked easy but an expert could see the perfect control Luna has over her body.
The humanoid monster was shocked when witnessing this, it felt fear and wanted to retreat but it was already too late because Luna punched its stomach.
Bang!
There was a terrible sound and the humanoid monster was bent into a V shape as it got sent flying far in the distance, breaking many buildings in the process.
Rumble!
When its body stopped it caused a rumbling sound, there was a large hole in the middle of its stomach that not even its crazy regenerative ability could keep up with.
Luna narrowed her eyes, that blow was enhanced three times the usual amount and it was meant to kill the monster but she was surprised to be still alive even though it was barely.
She couldn't help but grin as she took a step forward the next one would have brought her before the monster but she stopped because besides the fallen humanoid monster, another one appeared and unlike the one on the ground this one looks more like a humanoid monster.
Four large eyes monitor their surroundings from their slimy sockets. A large nose rests below, but it's the shallow mouth below that takes all the attention. A wide smile reveals monstrous teeth and a huge tongue.
Enormous floppy ears sit on each side of its huge, wrinkled head, which itself is covered in tattoo-like markings and has two broad horns protruding from the sides.
Its average fat body stands straight. Two thick warping arms dangle at its sides and end in stone-like hands with short fingers, of which it has 10 in total.
Its legs are muscular and slightly bent, each ending in short feet.
Its body is covered in armor-like scales and its shoulders are about the same width as its pelvis.
''Ugh! Gross!"
Luna felt like throwing up her breakfast upon seeing this humanoid monster, not only it was too ugly it smells terrible as well. Goblins or Orcs are better than these things that seem to come out straight from a horror movie.
Luna had the feeling that these things were not natural, almost as if someone created them and she already had an idea of whom it could be.
While Luna was thinking about the humanoid monsters before her another one appeared making it three.
''Oh?" Luna's lips curved into a smile as she added.
''This is getting interesting, let me crush you before getting to your master.'' She declared before putting her hands together in the form of prayer.
''9th Tier Holy Magic: Sanctuary!"
A dazzling light erupted from her and with her, as the center spread around until it covered the humanoid monsters, they flinched feeling uncomfortable.
The next moment they were beheaded by a white resplendent sword. The Sanctuary seemed to have dulled their senses until they got beheaded, 3 Level 150 monsters died just like that.
In another location was a man who was observing the fight through the monster's eyes and when he saw how they died he froze, it was then Luna's voice reached his ears.
''Found you!"
'Oh! No!'
The man's heart tightened and a chill went down his back as cold sweat covered his hands and feet; a feeling of a certain clawed at his heart. He knew he was done for.
