The fighters, defeated and dejected, watched as Takashi and Luna made their escape, their last hope fading away into the distance. The world seemed to lose its color, drained of hope and replaced with a sense of listlessness and confusion. The weight of their failure hung heavy in the air, enveloping them in a cloud of despair.
"This monster is an SS-rank!"
"We're done!"
The fighters who were fighting the army of monster ran for their lives as the aura of death continued to expand. Whether it was humans or monsters, they weren't spared from the dark and red aura that was coming from the leader of the monsters.
As Ren and Luna ran, their footsteps pounded against the ground, a desperate rhythm fueled by adrenaline and a tinge of guilt. Their faces were etched with weariness and disappointment, their brows glistening with sweat and exertion. They couldn't shake the feeling that they had let down everyone, unable to protect them from the encroaching aura of death.
Meanwhile, the monster covered with blood from head to toe look at Luna and Ren. Then at the humans and monsters that got crush from its aura. "No one can escape..."
"Not necessarily..." A voice sounded out of nowhere which made the blood-filled monster pay attention.

In the blink of an eye, Fein appeared before Luna and Ren, like a stylish magician stepping onto the stage. His long white hair flowed with an otherworldly grace, contrasting against the darkness that still lingered in the air. His crimson red eyes shone with a mischievous glint, as if he held a secret that could change the course of their fate. Dressed in a sleek black suit, complete with a fiery red tie and matching gloves, he exuded an air of confident elegance.
Luna and Ren's jaws dropped in disbelief as they took in Fein's unexpected arrival. Standing beside him, against all odds, was Takashi, looking a bit worse for wear but unmistakably alive. Luna's eyes widened, her heart racing with a mix of relief and confusion, while Ren scratched his head, his expression a comical blend of shock and amusement.
Takashi, his clothes tattered and singed from the encounter with the aura of death, grinned sheepishly at his friends. "Hey, looks like death couldn't handle this fiery spirit," he quipped, his voice laced with a newfound sense of determination.
Fein's smooth voice cut through the stunned silence, his words carrying a hint of playful arrogance. "Well, it seems I arrived just in the nick of time to save the day," he declared, a smug smile playing at the corners of his lips. "You should know by now, nothing is impossible when I'm around."
Luna's eyes narrowed as she studied Fein, a mix of gratitude and suspicion swirling within her. "But how? How did you save Takashi from that deadly aura?"
Fein's eyes twinkled with an enigmatic gleam. "It seems you don't know me, there are secrets in this world even I can't reveal just yet," he replied, his voice dripping with intrigue. "Let's just say I have a few tricks up my sleeve."
Luna shook her head, a bemused smile tugging at her lips. "Well, as long as you're on our side and not the other way around, I guess we can live with a little mystery,"
"Luna... Don't you know him?" Ren coughed awkwardly. "That man is lord Fein!"
"What!?" Luna's eyes widened.
'This guy is lord Fein?' Luna suddenly want to dig a hole and bury herself from shame. But when she thinks about it. Only an SS-rank have the capability to deal with an SS-rank monster.
"Well, just kidding... Takashi will explain to you what happened. For now, let me deal with this monster." Fein's eyes gradually turned serious and his gaze shifted to the monster who was eyeing him.
...
Takashi walk towards Ren and Luna. Then at Amara who still unconscious. He couldn't help but feel speechless for a moment. Takashi took a deep breath, his voice steady as he he was ready to recount the extraordinary turn of events that had saved his life.
"So what happened?" Ren immediately greeted Takashi with a relieve smile on his face. He actually doesn't care how Fein save Takashi. He was just happy that his friend was alive.
"Guys, you won't believe what happened," Takashi started, his voice quivering a little. The life and death experience was still fresh from his mind. "Just as the aura of death was about to swallow me whole, Lord Fein appeared out of nowhere and pulled me to safety."
Luna's eyes widened, curiosity flickering across her face. "Lord Fein? But how did he know? How did he manage to save you? He arrived right on time?"
Takashi's voice held a sense of wonder as he replied to Luna. "I'm not entirely sure myself, Luna. It all happened so quickly. One moment, I was bracing myself for the end, and the next, I felt a strong grip on my arm, pulling me away from the clutches of death."
Ren leaned in, his gaze fixed intently on Takashi. "That doesn't matter anymore. Lord Fein has his own means."
"What did lord Fein say?" Luna raise her hand and put it on Takashi's shoulder. "Don't do that again. You're so reckless."
"Why not? I won' be able to outrun that aura anyway. So I decided to stall it to buy time for you." Takashi shook his head, then he paused for a moment before saying, "Lord Fein didn't say much. He's not a man of words you know..."
Luna's brow furrowed as she pondered the enigmatic personality. "He truly is a mysterious figure."
Ren nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Luna. Lord Fein possesses a power beyond our comprehension."
Takashi's voice carried a note of gratitude as he spoke. "We owe him our lives, and perhaps even the fate of this world. We mustn't waste this second chance. We have to evacuate the people out of here now while Lord Fein fights the SS-rank monster.
