Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

After making sure that everyone was ready, the group embarked on the journey to the portal. A long string of cars surrounding a truck could be seen moving at a fast speed to the center of the city. This kind of trip will take around 3 to 4 minutes if they were able to reach that place without any problems or hindrances.

Leislet along with Scarlett were sitting in the car closest to the ambulance where Acht was. As for Tania, she was still in a coma but she was transported out of the city. Her father seemed to be way too worried for him to leave her there so he decided to put her in one of the hospitals in his kingdom.

Leislet and Scarlett kept an eye on every detail that passed by as the car moved. Whether it was a piece of paper flying in the wind, an insect flying eerily close to the car, or even the smell of the air. They are so alert that somehow they couldn't feel anything else around them except for that.

Seconds passed and the group was getting closer and closer to the gate. So far, nothing bad happened and that was something that didn't make Leislet any less worried.

She was expecting a sneak attack that will take them by surprise and ruin the plan. However, nothing of that sort happened.

A few more minutes passed and they were finally in front of the portal. It was a giant one capable of transporting tens of people at a time. It was also considered the biggest transportation portal in the whole Lower World.

The problem is that there were some stairs that needed to be climbed which were something impossible for a truck to do without risking falling down.

So, Leislet and the other hunters get out of their cars to secure the sword as it gets transported.

There were also a few more hunters left behind just in case of any problems.

'Ahh, this is finally over. I want to go get a drink after this.' one of the hunters who was A-Ranked thought to himself. He didn't sleep for more than two days because of this mission so he was quite tired and also bored. Guarding a sword wasn't something enjoyable at all.

"Hm?" As he was trying to fire a cigarette, he heard a small sound coming from a building nearby.

He looked at the building with confused eyes. He thought it was nothing but his mind playing tricks on him but he still held the bow in his hand tightly just in case.

Then, he continued smoking his cigarette as he watched the others move out the sword.

*TICK*

The sound came back again from the same building and also from another building. So, he looked at it again warily and was about to tell the others. That's when it happened.

*CRACK*

A loud cracking noise followed by the sound of glass breaking and falling took over the area. They all looked with shock at the scene of hundreds of windows around them breaking seemingly with stimulus.

"Trick or Treat~ Trick or Treat~ Give us something good to it~ if you don't~ we don't care~ we will still put red ants in your hair~"

A loud song, coming from the robotic voices of hundreds and hundreds of dolls standing in each and every window of these buildings. They were all looking like kids in Halloween costumes and holding a basket that had the shape of a pumpkin.

"What…the…fuck!" Leislet muttered as she immediately looked at everyone and shouted.

"MOVE NOW!!!!"

The others woke up from their stupor and continued carrying the sword as the rest of them guarded the sword while watching this crazy show that was happening.

They were everywhere, looking down on them while chanting this song like a cursed choir. It was all spine-chilling, far beyond what they expected.

Then as they sang this song, they started stepping forward and falling down the windows. In a moment, the sky was filled with dolls coming down like heavy rain.

The hunters didn't know what to do in this situation except for trying to attack them. So, using all of their powers, they sent a barrage of attacks at the upcoming things.

But, that action proved to be the biggest mistake they could have ever committed.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM*

A chain of explosions colored the skies with a weird red color. No one could even think properly for a proper second as they watched the doom fall down on them.

The moment an attack connected with a doll, a huge explosion the size of a small building shook the sky, making the earth tremble.

"Ughh!!!!" Sounds of screams of pain echoed in the street as hunters were caught in the explosions and sent flying like a bunch of leaves getting thrown around by a raging storm.

Leislet was somehow slightly farther away from the commotion so she was able to react fast and pull the sword along with her to a safer area.

She then looked at Scarlett who was also close to her.

"We need to reach Acht before they find him!!! I will deal with this sword and you go get him!!" She said in a hurry.

'Fuck, this is something that I didn't expect! We are doomed!'

She then shouted to everyone, infusing soul force into her voice to make it overwhelm the chaos that was ensuing.

"Don't hit those dolls!"

Everyone halted their frenzy escape when they heard the domineering voice of the hunter association president. They were still not in a normal state to think properly because of the shock so her confident words made them calm down considerably.

Even though they had destroyed many of the dolls, many more landed on the ground and stood up again. With the same smile on their face and the same empty eyes, they continued singing as they approached the hunters like an army of destruction.

"Trick or Treat~ Trick or Treat~ Give us something good to it~ if you don't~ we don't care~ we will still put red ants in your hair~"
