Chapter 89 Useless.
A siren sounded and a soldier hurriedly ran toward them with a panicked expression. He gave a satellite phone to Mykel, and the man on the phone informed them that there was another giant demon that had just come out of the portal. Since they were quite far from Montana, the major had prepared helicopters for them to send them there.
"Sir, the bad news is that we don't have enough helicopters to bring everyone. We can only bring twenty people at most at a time," The soldier said as he caught his breath and looked at Mykel.
"That's not a problem. I believe the four guilds will stay here and deal with these demons that are still roaming around. I'll send half of my team to the portal," Mykel responded as he looked at Elena. "Elena, bring the girls with you. We the boys will stay here," Mykel said.
"Okay. Should I bring Amaryllis as well?" Elena asked as she pointed her thumb at Amaryllis who stood next to her.
"Yes, bring her with you. She might be able to get something," Mykel answered as he nodded his head.
Elena and all the ladies left and followed the soldier to where the helicopters were at. Rozan and the boys started to hunt the demons and cleaned up all the mess with James and the others. Mykel on the other hand, went to the camp where the man in charge was to gather information.
"A familiar face looks like I don't have to show formality to you," Mykel said as he saw the major when he entered the camp.
"Mister Mykel, thank you for preventing that thing from ravaging the remaining cities," The major said as he offered a handshake to Mykel.
"It's nothing to be brag about. I'm here for something else, and I heard the situation in the other states is starting to get dire," Mykel said as he shook the major's hand. "How are they?" Mykel asked.
"Chaos is everywhere, and this is nothing like the previous breakouts that had happened. These demons are big in numbers and they seem endless..." The major answered with a worried expression. "But since there are so many Awakeners now, we should be able to turn the tide even if it's slowly," he continued.
Mykel hummed and then looked at the news on TV where Brazil had been totally destroyed by demons. It was devastating news, and somehow the reporters still could blame the Rebirth Guild for not helping them.
"South America is doomed, and that's not your fault, Mister Mykel. It's just purely unfortunate for them that they don't have strong Awakeners to stop it from happening," The major said.
"I don't really care. I'm more curious about what's happening in Australia," Mykel replied as he grabbed the remote and tried to find an Australian news channel.
When Mykel found the channel, the live feed of the portal from the helicopter made it better. He could see a dragon-like creature with four wings and six legs that was destroying the city. He looked at the fighter jets that flew in and bombarded the dragon to prevent it from flying.
"Are you perhaps interested in the Virtue Guild as well?" The major asked as he stood next to Mykel and watched the news with him.
"You know about it?" Mykel asked.
"Since it has been so peaceful lately, I spent most of my time on the internet and found out about the Virtue Guild. They sound promising and perhaps you can meet them in person because the world will be safe if you two work together," The major answered.
"You think so?" Mykel asked as he scoffed.
The news reporter suddenly cheered when he saw dozens of armored personal carriers drive toward the dragon. He said that the Virtue Guild had arrived and would take care of the situation for them which was really good news.
Mykel couldn't see it clearly because of shaky the camera was and how far it was from the ground. He could only see seven people come out of the carrier with their weapons in their hands. He then saw a woman who was standing at the front with two daggers in her hands, and Mykel could tell who she was by the way she stood and did her hair.
"Sasha," Mykel said under his breath with a troubled expression.
Sasha looked at the thirty-meter-tall dragon in front of her, not to mention that it was still in a low crawling position. She didn't care about it and she didn't show a single fear in her eyes even though the others were a bit scared of the dragon.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I'll use myself as a bait. Anzel, you take the lead," Sasha said and immediately ran toward the dragon.
"Miss Sasha!" Anzel shouted and was in disbelief that she would leave like that. "Let's go to the side and find our positions!" Anzel said to the others.
They all nodded in agreement and followed Anzel from behind. They were shocked that Sasha would do something like that and didn't bother to discuss it with them at first.
The dragon roared when it looked at Sasha running toward it at full speed. The dragon spread its wings and flapped them at her and creating a strong and fierce wind that was sharp enough to cut the buildings and the road in front of it.
Sasha hid behind the car and immediately rolled over once the wind passed her. She either hid behind another car or in the alley to dodge the wind until she was close enough to not be affected by the wind. When she was close enough to the dragon, the dragon stomped its six legs on the ground and shook the whole city.
She jumped and clung onto the dragon's leg, and then she started cutting the leg as she climbed up. The dragon couldn't get rid of her and decided to fly, but the mortars bombarded the dragon and pushed it back down.
"Are they crazy?! Don't they see there's someone underneath the dragon?!" Eun Soo yelled as she looked at the artilleries in the far distance.
"Calm down, it was Sasha's order, and it seems she has expected it from happening," Gea said. "But still, why does she do that though? It's as if she didn't care about herself anymore," Gea pointed out as she looked at Sasha who had climbed on the dragon's body.
Sasha ran on the dragon's back and tried to cut off all the wings on her own, but the dragon was resisting which made things harder for her. Anzel and the others suddenly jumped off the building and landed right on the dragon's wings. Thanks to them, the dragon focused on getting rid of them, and not Sasha.
Sasha cut the first wing off and immediately went to the other one next to it. She moved quickly before the dragon could react, and then she cut another one off. Now that the dragon only had two left wings, it couldn't fly away anymore.

"Let's target the head!" Sasha shouted.
All of them nodded with understanding and ran together all the way up to the dragon's head. They tried to cut the skin, but their weapons were too weak to cut it open, and the only one who could do it was Sasha.
"What?! The wings have regenerated!" Gea shouted.
Sasha turned around and looked as the dragon flapped its wings to fly away. Know that all of them were on top of the dragon's body, the soldiers couldn't bombard the dragon anymore.
"Leave! I'll deal with this!" Sasha shouted.
"What about you? We won't leave you behind on your own," Anzel said.
"Shut up and leave!" Sasha yelled and she looked angry for some reason. "You guys are useless up here and I can take care of this!" Sasha continued and started cutting the back of the dragon's head.
Everyone was shocked by the words that came out of Sasha's mouth, and they were hurt because of it. They all jumped down because she wasn't wrong about it, and let her do what she could do.
They safely landed on the ground, but they heard the bombs were bombarding the dragon's back with Sasha who was still up there. They all looked up and saw how the artilleries didn't show any mercy, but the dragon was still flying and kept getting higher and higher.
The dragon roared loudly, but suddenly its voice got cut out and the head slowly got detached from the body. Anzel and the others saw the head fall down and so the dragon's body followed after it.
"Run!" Anzel screamed his lungs out.
Everyone ran as fast as they could, and then they felt the ground shake because the dragon's body slammed to the ground. They turned around and couldn't see anything but a thick smoke that blocked their vision.
Mykel chuckled and said, "I never thought she could do something like that."
