Sorry for the massive delay. Got busy with work, then I had some other troubles, then I had to focus on stories again. Now we are back to see what Guts is up too.
With the Loki familia
The Familia saw all the Minitours in the 18th floor and soon started to take care of them. However they were all shaken in fear, whatever they saw really scare them for good to be at this point.
''Wow they are still shaken even in dead.'' Said Tione sensing the minotaur shaking as she crack his neck.
''Look these things aren't much, but can we get to the main focus.'' Said Bete annoyed as he cleans his hands from the blood of a minotaur.
Most of the monsters were all dead and Riviria has to be rebuild again. However what intrigued the Loki familia the most was what would cause the minotaur's to run away in fear in such way.
''Who would make such creatures run off in fear?'' Asked Gareth.
''Better question what. These monsters are somewhat blind with the desire to fight, the fact that were scared for their life's is a miracle.' Said Riveria.
''I don't know but I don't like the sound of any of these options.'' Said Finn thinking.
''It sounds like a monster itself.'' Said Raul.
The trail of destruction left by the minotaur's wasn't big, but it was very noticeable for the others to see.
''They were at the point of destroying everything around to escape. What could be so scary to them?" Asked Lefiya.
''I don't….'' Said Aki but soon she got cut.
''Help!" Scream someone coming out of the ntrace.
The familia saw it was a random adventurer and he looked like he had seen something horrifying.
''Are you ok?'' Asked Raul
''Yes.'' Said the man.
''Were you on the upper floors?" Asked Finn
''Yes.'' Said the man.
''Who was in the floors up? too Did something made the minotaur's go crazy?" Asked Finn
''It was a man!'''' Scream the scared man just thinking of Guts.
The Loki Familia heard that and got a little confused.
''A man? So it was a full party a man?'' Asked Aki.
''No, it was just one person alone.'' Said the man shocking everyone.
''How can one person scare these monsters off so easily!'' Scream Tiona.
''How did he looked like?'' Asked Tione
''he was tall, had a metal arm, a black cape and a sword the size of human being.'' Said the man.
The group all took note of that. If someone like that was around the city, it wasn't a good idea that he was around doing something.
''Tall, metal arm, cape and huge sword.'' Said Finn
''Well spit out the rest!'' Said Bete.
''Where is he?" Asked Tione.
''He disappeared.'' Said the man
''Disappeared?" Asked Tiona.
''Hey Ais what do you think of that? Do you have any idea'' Asked Raul
The young man turn around and saw that the blonde girl wasn't anywhere near them.
''Ais?'' Asked Finn now worried as everyone saw that Ais wants with them.
With Ais
The girl had followed a minitour early and wanted to kill him. She would get scolded by the rest of the group, but she had a good reason for it. She was clashing with the beast that was showing itself a really capable fighter.
''Huh.'' Said her having troubles to deliver a final attack.
The minotaur just looked pissed and wanting to attack her at full rage as he roar.
Roar
The Sword Princess went at full speed to attack but she messed up and the minitour stop the attack.
Clang
This minotaur was different, it looked like he adapted and understood people movement and was ready to counterattack.
''I need to find the others.'' Thought her.
However it was too late as the minotaur grabbed her by the arm and really hard.
''Urgh.'' Said Ais in pain.
Roar
The beast roar with a killing intent, however before he could anything to the blonde a swing attack was heard and blood splashed everywhere.
Slash
Splash
The girl was soon covered by the monster blood. Then she saw her savior that looked more like a bigger monster than the minotaur.
''Uh?" Asked Ais
Once she saw this man she felt different. It was like he was the definition of an adventurer, someone that fought more than a thousands battles and never stop exploring.
''Are you ok?''' Asked Guts
Ais didn't saw a word because she was so amazed at the display of power in front of her.
Guts saw that she might be in shock, but he saw that she could still move.
''Uh you can move so you are fine.'' Said Guts leaving as he collect the crystals.
Ais saw the man departing and wanted to say something but for some reason she couldn't say a word. She didn't know why.
''Wait…'' Said Ais in whisper but Guts soon disappeared.
Then the rest of the Loki familia arrived as they spotted her.
''Ais!'' Said Tiona.
''Huh?" Asked Ais.
Soon everyone saw Ais covered in blood and they were shocked.
''What happened here?" Asked Riveria.
''Holy crap!"' Said Tione.
''Wow Ais, you are red as a tomato.'' Said Tiona with a laugh.
''Hey don't call her that. It's stupid.'' Said Bete.
''Someone give her a wet towel.'' Said Gareth.
As Ais cleaned herself Finn appeared and wanted to know what just happened.
''What happened to you Ais?" Asked him
''A minotaur appeared, and I tried to fight myself.
''But what about all this blood? Did you do this all by yourself?" Asked Gareth.
''Actually, I lost caliber. I guess that minotaur knew what was going to happen and attacked me by supposed. I was going to get injured but then I was saved.'' Said Ais.
''Huh? By who?" Asked Tione.
The blonde then looked at her town, stills seeing Guts.
''A man with black cape and a huge sword.'' Said Ais thinking of guts.
The familia had the look of shock in their face. The same person hat cause the minotaur's to run off in fear was the one to save Ais. Who is this mysterious person.
With Guts
''I guess this place is good to kill my boredom. Plus I can make money here, so it's a win win.'' Thought him as he reach down to the 19th floor.
So yes, Guts had meet Ais and soon they will see each other again. Next chapter we will see the rest of the gang and see how they are doing and what is going to happen. Can't wait for that.
Also, the Loki familia expedition is when they were coming back and Ais meet Bell. Sure, the minotaur accident happen later, but they will stay a little bit to look for Guts. Hope you all enjoy.
