“We are too late!” Kanara said as we halted near Yun and Anre, “He looks…” Lucas's new form looked like the upper half of an armor, its helmet had details like hands covering its eyes, mouth, and ears, a set of arms hands holding blades adorned with moonstones and flowers filigrans, and another set holding its hands as it if was praying to a deity, it didn't speak, giving us no hint of its intentions, “Karolin!” Yun ran to me, a streak of red running down his forehead. “Can you save him?” he urged me. I shook my head “No… I couldn't connect with him. “But you have to touch him, right?” I shook my head again, “I was able to save you because I could still hear a part of you, but…” When I think about it, I was never able to link with Lucas; it was like he was already gone, only moving from sheer willpower. “Yu-Yu, he was already… gone, right now, we should focus on taking him down.”
The armor started to move, attacking anything that was within its reach. “This is probably the last stretch once that thing is down, the wild hunt will be over,” Kanaria said, coiling her whip around her arm. “We have to go all out if we wish to see the break of dawn!” Anre said as he charged his hammer, “One more time.” Parker formed a wolf made of paper. “I have a plan. Can I count on all of you?” Yun said, and he stretched his legs, “Like you need to ask, tell us everything, Yun!” I twisted the handle of the umbrella to be ready for the combat “... Okay, first of all, who gave you that?” I pointed at Kanaria, Yun gave her a look, “Hey! Don't give me that look, that's a fun and safe toy!” he rolled his eyes. “Anyway, Parker, I need you to bind its movement use every single piece of paper you have and nail it to the ground.”
He nodded, “I have enough with the bookstore, I brok… I mean, Karolin and I visited and asked to have the books, to do it. “I′m willing to believe that lie, Anre and Kanaria, the arms, do something about them.” They looked at each other and said in unison, “Like cut them and blow them up?” “Precisely.” With Yun′s permission, they fist bumped each other. “Leave this to the crone and me!” “do try to keep up boar!” they started to run to catch the attention of the knight “Karolin, this one is dangerous and I don't want to put you in danger, however” he placed his hands confidently on my shoulders like a father acknowledging his little girl has grown up “I need you to use that umbrella and protect me for a moment” “excuse me? HUH???” “If what Kana said is true, that umbrella can shield me from almost anything physical. While I prepare, I won't be able to move or react much. If debris comes or a knight is still up, I trust you can keep me safe.”
I am unsure, I am not a fighter, if something comes I don't know exactly what I′ll do, and yet, when I look at Yun′s eyes, the deep determination that is painted in them I know there's no fight we cannot win, be it this M.S.S, Morgan or the Maw “I won't let you down!” He smiled, nodded, and kneeled behind me. He concentrated as I kept him guarded. I hope nothing comes his way for now. I′ll keep an eye on the rest of the gang.

“To your left!” “On your right!” Anre and Kanaria deflected the incoming strikes of the swords that were directed at the other. It was interesting to see the two fighting in unison, although from time to time they stopped to yell at each other, “Lit it!” Kanaria said in a firm tone to Anre, “Aye, aye, Crone capitan!” Anre placed his hands on a big piece of stone in a second, the boulder shone as if it was burning, Kanaria then roared and threw the now smoldering stone straight into the helmet of the Knight. The second it connected, it blew up, “Now Kanaria pull!” Kanaria nodded and she lasoed at the big wrist of the knight she then used a light pole to make a polley and pulled with all her might, the arm stretched dropping one of his swords, Anre rushed dodging an incoming slice by sliding through the ground he charged his hammer and hit straight in the seam where the armor meets the arm there was a huge explosion and now a few bulders and metal pieces are coming this way.
“Alright, Karolin you can do-” I stopped talking and opened the umbrella to keep Yun safe, just like Kanaria said the builder crumbled when they hit the fabric of the umbrella, however, the metal was a different story, i was able to block them but I was also thrown back a few feet, “au, au, my shoulder is definitely going to be sore, but at list Yun is safe” Yun kept his eyes closed fully trusting I would keep him safe, a few people came out from hiding whispering “isn't that… the Mirai guy…” “what is he doing?” “is he… helping us, why?” and a small voice said “′cos he and his friends are cool hunters!” it was one of the kids I helped earlier.
“but he-” someone was going to arrgiu but someone talked over him “maybe we were wrong” “he killed his kids!” “then why is he helping? he even got the black claw helping him!” they were unsure people blame him on one side but the other side is giving him the benefit of the doubt, colorme impressed people can change, I walked back to my position all we need is for Parker to do his part and we will be ready, I hope; Parker used the wolf as a mount to dash quickly through the battle field, he must be tired after using his gift so much, when the sword came to slash him hi moved his hands to order the wolf to jump, in the air, he pulled the rest of his paper out of his bag, he had so much that it even pulled form insed his clothes, the wolf was dismissed and instead he used all of his paper to creat a bull almos as big as the knight, the knight used its sword to try and block the incoming charge, but Parker adjusted his glasses, he separated the bull in two, avoiding the defence and sending the knight to the ground.
once on the ground, Parker disbanded the bulls and sent the paper flying over the Knight, slamming his hands onto the ground, the paper came rushing down, covering the body of the knight, the paper pierced the ground forcing the knight to be trapped by its new binds, Parker was panting and sweating “I don't know how much I will be able to hold it down!” It was then that I noticed, his hair was standing as if electricity was filling the air, “You all did great… I′ll take it from here!” the floor had lines of violet tracing something he had made a crest to cover the area, every metal object formed a stair to the sky as the sword of the knight dangled over its chest.
