Shattering Humanity-Chapter 277: One Eye. Two Eye. Red Eye. Blue Eye.
"If only there has been a society which believed before seeing the torment and , therefore, benefited from it’s belief, like the people of Jonah. When they believed, We lifted them from the torment of disgrace in this world and allowed them enjoyment for a while.
Had your Lord so willed O Prophet, all people on earth would have certainly believed, every single one of them! Would you then force people to become believers?" -Yunus 10:98-99

Saku: "So whoever wants to tag along it’s fine by me.
I already know Friend and Xaaydagaay are down for a walk, right you two?"
Friend: "*Rrrrrufff!*"
Xaaydagaay: "*Eeiieek* *whhuuiiiuuuuuuuuu* *wwwrrrruorrrwwouuu*!"
With Friend and Xaaydagaay by his side, the Izanami captain holding the door open looks at his posse.
Saku: "Only D has the keys to get back in here.
So before I let the door close, does everyone have what they need from the reup’d supplies?"
Everyone quickly checks their pockets but the quick witted Jormungand is the first to register the redundance in his captain’s concerns.
He chuckles is disbelief at his own Big Bro and asks in the most respectful way possible.
Jormy: "Uhh, hehe.
Couldn’t you just use one of your abilities to get back inside without a key, Big Bro?"
Saku’s eyes are a little more red than usual and by his expression, it seems like he actually forgot he had magic alien eye abilites.
Saku: "Ohhh yea...
Nevermind."
Laban DaeMon: "Oh Saki, you’re so silly when your h-"
The mood of the group unpredictably flips, and everyone in the group except for Drakania looks in the same direction at the same time.
Friend and Xaaydagaay both growl in unison.
Itsuka: "What...
What is this feeling..."
Laban DaeMon: "Someone in that direction is being piggybacked by Seiõr’s pity.
Exactly like how I was against Skalmönd in our battle."
Saku activates his Anjell Eye, a Yin aura and Laban’s Eyelien imitates soon after. Always wanting the smoke, her symbiote has a grey aura emitted.
Laban DaeMon: "Since all of us here have been around a powerful, unfriendly force or two, you can all now tell when the natural state and the universal flow of Seiõr is being disrupted nearby.
It’s almost the same way as when our bodies pick up strong smells or loud noises."
Jormungand: "Wait, so in that case it’s technically called a..."
Laban DaeMon: "Yep, SeiõrSense."
Saku is watching as Shelly battles the intruder at the entrance to their sanctuary.
Saku: "We need to get to the entrance of Sanpaku.
Fast!"
He begins to open a portal.
Dust from the fallen wall immediately begins to enter through the hole, along with the sounds of Shelly and Zeke’s fight that can be heard from the other side.
Itsuka: "What’s going on over there?"
Saku keeps his focus on the growing portal hole while answering.
Saku: "Shelly is fighting someone from the Mountains and it’s another Beast."
Everyone behind him gets worried as Saku flinches in pain from over using his Anjell Eye two days in a row.
Itsuka: "Saku, please... don’t over do it again today..."
Saku’s eyes widen and the portal grows slower, but then he appears to get angry, making the portal hole grow larger.
Drakania: "Wait, so they know where we live now?"
She looks at Jormungand and he looks at his worried older sister.
Jormungand: "Don’t worry Sis, I won’t let them hurt you."
He activates his IceEye to it’s second stage and looks at the concrete, turning his entire body into concrete.
Drakania: "Oh Jormy."
Saku’s portal is almost complete but there is no longer any fighting heard since Shelly and Zeke have moved their fight to somewhere less deep inside the tunnel sanctuary. With Katsu and Jeremiah following not too far behind.
Itsuka: "I don’t hear anything anymore.
Do you think Shelly won already?"
She is the first to hop through the portal and see the destruction of the sanctuary wall. Everyone else steps through and has the same shocked expression after witnessing the destroyed pile of rubble.
Running footsteps and deep woman breaths can be heard coming down the tunnel from the darkness.
Scylia: "Guys! Wait u-"
The wife to be of the Head Hancho appears from the shadows, sprinting to the entrance.
Sliding to a stop, she is just as surprised as the younger members of Takamagahara at the site and sight of destruction.
Scylia: "What happened?"
Saku: "Shelly’s fighting someone from the Mountains and she kicked him into the entrance wall, making it collapse."
Itsuka: "Did you feel that spike in Seiõr too, Big Sis?"
Scylia nods her head and carefully walks to the destroyed wall, crouching and gripping a piece.
Scylia: "One of the sanctuary citizens came to Master Daisuki’s office while I was tidying it up.
He’s in Tomodachi Town with Aiden, Sol, and Taylor right now."
Dom(echoes): "Imma take out one of those deer. If I do you gotta carry it back!"
Charybdis(echoes): "Hell no! That’s why I said only shoot rabbits and small game."
Dom(echoes): "Isn’t a little dustier than usual?"
From the shadows, Char and Dom appear with their respective firearms over their shoulder, backpacks, and a few empty potato sacks in their hands.
They see the destroyed Sanpaku entrance and the Takamagahara group at the base of the pile.
Dom: "Woah!
Why did you guys break Sanpaku’s wall?!"
Laban DaeMon: "Shaddup!
It wasn’t us.
We had some unwanted visitors and Skalmönd already sent them packing."
She turns sweetly to her purpose and with her eye still active, her smokey aura quickly turns pink while talking to Saku.
Laban DaeMon: "Sakiii, we better hurry and follow them."
Saku breathing heavily, holding his Anjell Eye nods and tries to activate his Anjell Eye again, but...
Saku: "Argghh!!!"
Everyone gets worried as Saku falls to his knees in pain.
Itsuka: "Saku..."
Xaaydagaay rushes over, falling to her knees and scrapping them but is more worried about Saku than herself.
Along with Friend hopping side to side next to them.
Friend: "Rrrruff! Ruff!"
Xaaydagaay: "*eii-iii-k* *eii-iii-k*! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
*Rrrrrufff!*"
Saku slowly gets to his feet and is sweating.
Scylia: "After what happened yesterday, I think it might be best to rest your symbiote today, Saku.
From the description of how you were, and how you appear now it looks like you overworked yourself, like how athletes do in sports."
Itsuka: "She’s right Saku.
You need rest..."
Reluctantly, Saku takes a few deep breaths and the pain in his eye subsides.
Saku: "Fine, let’s just run there... I guess.
Come on Friend!
Xaaydagaay!"
Friend & Xaaydagaay: "Rrrrrufff Aroo!"
Saku begins to sprint and everyone else in the group follows in pursuit down the tunnel...
[Outer Sanpaku]
Katsu: "Shelly!
What’s going on!?
Where are those two guys who tried to infiltrate Sanpaku!?!"
Shelly: "I don’t know...but Katsu, I feel...
I feel a presence right now."
Katsu: "Now that you mention it..."
Once the echoes caused by the collapsed half of the building settle, Katsu and Shelly both walk out carefully to the grey and brown atmosphere around them.
Shelly, still covered in her Mach 1 SanguineSoulSeiõrShield looks back at Katsu with a worried expression.
Shelly: "Katsu, you stay back.
I don’t like this feeling I’m having. It’s nothing like how I felt before."
Suddenly, her azule eyes widen and Shelly snaps her head around.
From above, a throwing knife is tossed through the grey and brown "fog" and Shelly uses the Seax in her hand to deflect it away.
She looks up with a Below Sanpaku stare and from the clearing dust, standing on one of the broken beams of the building, is L’Orient DæMon and her partner, Jean DæMon.
The tall, built long legged French woman has both Zeke and Jeremiah knocked out, over her shoulder, while standing on the destroyed building.
From the inside of her hood, L’Orient chuckles while looking down at them.
L’Orient DæMon: "Iiiikiiikiiikiii!
See I told you.
A little word from the wise, Jean.
Always make a good first impression.
Iiiikiiikiiikiii"
Jean DæMon: "Like, OMG!
You like, totally brought that whoooole legit building down with like, the swipe of your fingerrr.
You are soooo cute and badass, Mizz L’Orient!"
L’Orient DæMon: "Don’t call me cute."
Jean DæMon: "Oop.
Sorriez..."
From below Katsu is curious about the newest threat.
Katsu: "Is that a little girl?
And that cloak, it kinda reminds me of..."
Shelly yells up at the newest enemy in a tree patterned cloak.
Shelly: "Who are you?!?!
What are you doing on my home territory?!?"
From the shadows of the hood, a smile with two little fangs can be seen before she leaps off the sliced beam.
Almost 20 stories high.
Katsu: "Holy shit she jumped!!"
However, Shelly doesn’t seem to be concerned, her eyes narrow.
The small body, in a flurtering black cloak, with red and blue dwarf weeping willow patches, lands on the cement with both feet and a fist to the ground.
It creates a small crater but the newest DæMon to introduce herself to Shelly is unharmed.
Standing only 50 yards apart, the wind blows, clearing the dust between the two Scandinavian descendants.
L’Orient DæMon: "Iiiikiiikiiikiii...
So you must be Skalmönd’s reincarnate."
Shelly doesn’t answer but keeps her grip on the Seax tight.
L’Orient DæMon: "Not much of a talker?
Well that’s fine, it’s not my turn to take you out yet, so we still have a lot of time to get acquainted.
But just so you know..."
She slowly removes her hood and from the back of her head, like before she exposes her left half of curly golden hair and right half of straight black hair.
However now, from her face reveal, L’Orient is an adorable little girl with two separate halves of hair styles and colors but to go along with her blonde half is the typical Valkyrie blue eye.
But paired with her black hair, is a familiar red eye.
L’Orient DæMon: "Iiiikiiikiiikiii!
I am L’Orient DæMon.
And if you hopefully beat my younger sister in two days, I’m your next opponent."
