The explosion destroyed the valley.
A bunch of spikes and stones fell, separating Anissa and the Assailants. Unfortunately, they took Saino with them, leaving Anissa with a burned arm, the skin around her arm melted down due to the extreme temperature of the blast, leaving only the arm flesh exposed to the air.
On the other hand, Saino was unconscious, he was taken by the warriors.
But they didn't go too far into the desert, they were a few miles away from the valley.
The light of dawn took over the desert, it was shining, bright and beautiful. This dawn revealed the long and sharp Spikes; the spikes came out from the ground, from the center of the planet.
And what was revealed by the light the two assailants; One of them was holding Saino, and the other was hurt, he was hurt by the falling spikes of the valley, his injury was superficial.
Out of nowhere, a blitzing attack came from behind, Attacking The one that was holding Saino.
The assailant dodged the attack before it hit him.
His expression changed; he looked worried when he saw the one who attacked him, A man was surrounded by blue matter, water; they were revolving around him in circles.
"Marco," Said one of the assailants with a terrified face. His eyes opened widely; he looked scared.
"Yeah, I am Marco," uttered Marco with his ignorant expression.
Immediately, the Injured assailant took action. He ran into Marco, pulling a quite long dagger. The dagger was as sharp as the spikes of the valley.
He ran into Marco, merging the blazing flames in his dagger; it was blazing with flames.
As he reached Marco, he found himself thrown away, unable to move. He looked at his legs; the were splattered around, they were cleaved in pieces, the scene was horrifying.
The Assailant started screaming. Fear has destroyed him, it covered his sight, he started crying, begging for his life, he was scared he begin by telling Marco about his life, he was destroyed, he started crawling, his crawling left a trace of blood, due to his severed legs. Sadly, he didn't crawl away; he crawled into Marco, his eyes starting to rain tears. He was scared, and he started begging, "Please, I beg you, let me stay alive, I want to live, live with my ..." He didn't get to continue his sentence. And in a brief moment, his head was soaring in the air. Marco kicked the decapitated body with his legs, he looked at it with disgust while his body flew away from the kick.
"There is nothing left for you to live with, sadly."
The other Assailant freaked off from this occasion. He was scared, he looked at his friend's decapitated body before running away with Saino.
He was running quickly, he didn't wait to think; he was driven by the fear of death, the fear of not existing anymore. "I need to run, I need to run, I need to run – Run quickly, as fast as possible."
"This all happened because of that customer, the white-haired guy. he asked us to wait there at the same time they arrived. He told us their facial expressions. under any circumstances, I need to do my job, do it perfectly." Said one of the assailants under his heavy breath. He was tired but he continued running.
In that same moment he stopped talking to himself. A lot of water came out from the ground, the water took the shape of 3 snakes. A snake got in his mouth, the other got in his ears, and the last one got in his nose.
Saino woke up on the scene of the man choking till death, the snakes destroying his ears and his nose; they exploded, leaving traces of small flesh, the flesh was swollen. His jaw was demolished, his cheeks were cut, and his mouth was on his chest. It was a very terrifying scene for Saino to witness.
This scene left him shocked; his eyes were opened widely. He was gazing at this catastrophic scene.
The back of Saino's neck was causing some pain, so he tried to check the feeling with his hands while not taking his sight away.
Saino's neck was a bit swollen, it was taking the colour purple due to the attack that the warrior attacked him with in the valley.
He looked at Marco, he was scared from what he just witnessed, the horrific scene he just saw; he was scared of the cause of all of this, Marco.
The doubts about Marco that were covered inside his mind unfolded. However, he couldn't do a thing, he was weak.
Marco, this guy is crazy; he is dangerous. He sent us here to fight a danger he will save us from. He is scary. Indeed he is.
"SAINO, SAINOOO, COME HERE, I WANT YOU HERE NOW," Marco said while looking at Saino from far away.
Saino obeyed Marco without hesitation.
I am really scared. What drove me to come here? What did I do in my life to end up here? This is scary, this is weird, this is ambiguous.
