Requiem Of A Failed Hero

"What the hell is that?" Mok Jae-Hwa who was in his car and on his way to meet Raith at the hospital came out of his car to look at what was happening.

He wasn't the only one, as the massive comet neared Seoul, the clear blue sky from moments ago had totally become reddened and it was like the twilight before the setting and rising of the sun.

Ring! Ring!!!

He immediately picked up his phone.

"Can you see that?!!" The feminine and hoarse voice sounded in haste.

"Yes, Hunter Seong Nara?" He replied to the phone, surprised to hear the familiar voice.

"I am sure about this, he is the one! That is Turner!"

Immediately Mok Jae-Hwa's expression widened.

"Shit, how did I not think that?! What the fuck did he do?! How is he falling from the sky like a comet!!"

"I don't know but right now I am at Mokpo! I am trying my best but I doubt if I will ever be able to reach there even if I use my powers. And I know you are a very bad match against him but I doubt if there is any other person as strong as you are in Seoul so I don't think you actually have a choice in this..."

As she spoke, Mok Jae-Hwa scoffed.

"Hey, you this fucker? Are you laughing right now? The fate of an entire city is at stake and you are laughing?"

"What you said was funny Narassi. You are wrong about one thing... I am not the strongest person in Seoul right now."

"You this fucker, what are you on about?"

"Don't worry Ice Queen, this guy has it all under control." Mok Jae-Hwa replied and hung up.

He looked up at the coming comet, the air around was getting hotter as it got closer.

'I wasn't sure before... what my parallel thought pattern is best at calculating one's strength. Now that I can feel Turner near me... I can compare him to what I saw from Hunter Raven yesterday..." Mok Jae-Hwa let out a sigh.

"I should probably just focus on helping the citizens he said and immediately joined the police and agents that were directing people through the road with haste. Different hunters also could be seen aiding citizens.

Meanwhile, the two fighters stood for a moment under the reddened sky, not giving a damn about what was happening above them. Absalom was concerned at first because of the might of power but seeing that Kortopi didn't give a fuck, he had to ignore it if he wanted to stay alive.

Kortopi launched forward with a whirlwind of fast strikes at Absalom, forcing him back toward the edge of the building.

Absalom danced back, his blood sword flashing even brighter under the reddened sky as he parried each strike. Kortopi was relentless and continued to push Absalom further and further toward the edge.

Finally, with a sudden burst of speed, Kortopi launched a devastating strike.

Absalom barely managed to parry the blow, his blood sword cried out as it clashed with Kortopi's sword.

Then, with a sudden surge of red energy, Absalom pushed Kortopi back, sending him flying toward the other edge of the building.

Kortopi stumbled backward, as his balance had been thrown off by the force of the blow. For a moment, it seemed like he was about to topple over the edge, but he managed to catch himself at the last moment.

The two of them stood apart again, with Absalom panting, he slowly calmed his breathing and pointed his sword horizontally forward, closing his eyes.

Red energy began to swirl around the sword.

Wham wham wham

From all around Absalom, red magic circles– only that they weren't circles but a convolution of squares. And from the squares, several blood chains sprang out shooting at Kortopi who flew around to dodge them.

"This bastard can even use magic?!" Raith was shocked to see Absalom still having the edge even though he was tired.

But he was very much impressed that Kortopi was perfectly dodging the chains.

"Ah, whatever this is... it is beginning to bother me..." Raith complained and looked at the comet which was closer than he thought it was.

"Who the fuck is that?"

Raith at once was able to identify that this was a human.

'...oh?'

His eyes suddenly turned slit and they began to let out a red and black glow from each separate place, but the black glow was more white than it was black– only the soft smoke that it exuded was black.

"Turner huh..." He mumbled as he craned his head to look at the comet.

He turned so he wouldn't have to strain his neck, leaving Absalom and Kortopi to their own thing.

"Finally took you this long to come for me?" Rairh spoke with a smirk. A smirk that shocked Turner.

'He's smiling?' Turner thought as he could see Raith's facial expression. 'This bastard must be very cocky. I can't wait to meet you!'

The speed of the fall immediately increased and as his force field finally entered the lower sky, it began to raze away the top of buildings, the air got very arrogant and began to blow cars and people away.

Raith looked around from the top of the building where he was and could hear the cries and screams of people.

"Come forth..."

Immediately his army of darkness began to rise from the darkness of the ground and they all surrounded him.

'What? He has more of those things?!' Absalom who was chanced to throw a glance at Raith was shocked. But he was too preoccupied with Kortopi to be given a chance to think twice or even marvel.

"Save everybody... if anybody gets hurt, I will hold you all responsible for it" Raith commanded. Immediately all of them dispersed in different directions and began to drop where people were in danger, grabbing them when they were being thrown off by the wind, or when a car was about to fall off a kid, an old woman slowly crossing the road despite the turmoil.

The whole city was greatly tainted with their darkness and they jumped and flew from one person to another handing them to the hunters and police so they would take them to the safe shelter.

Even Mok Jae-Hwa was handed a lady by one of them, the stocky golem kind in particular and he marveled at the sight of every single one of them.

'...Are these Hunter Raven's summons? Is he a summoner?' Hunter Mok Jae-Hwa was so baffled.

Raith stood with his hands in his pocket, facing the comet that was already coming to him.

In that massive force field was Hunter Turner, smirking at how he would beat the shit out of Raven and recruit him to his guild, '...first, prove tour worth to me by surviving this...' He said in his head as the massive force field, like a comet collided with Raith who was standing head-to-head with it.

As the comet was a hair's breadth away from Raith's head.

"Domain Of Darkness."

WHAAAM!!!
