Last Destiny Volume 1 Chapter 11

After returning to Goethepe, the group witnesses the devastation caused by four powerful beings who have besieged the land. Pulsar warns that the crystal may still be in danger, so they rush to protect it. Cahiran confronts a sorcerer named Manami in a sword fight but is defeated. The group realizes that their true victory lies in overthrowing the gods and obtaining everything they desire. Cahiran, filled with a new passion, leads the group to pursue the sorcerers. After 11, the fate of Goethepe. When they reach back to Goethepe, the land can be seen burning from afar, a land of peace is being consumed by pain and chaos. Trees are knocked down all about, the homes have been ravaged, people of all the species there are leaving in ships, some ferries are taken to the sky in waves, some are running all over the place, even trampling over another, crying in bloodshed. The many high knights, trainees, who were there, have been slain, they tried to lead an assault, but were quickly dismantled, everything the bunch may have had in mind, this is beyond it. These four beings have laid siege to an entire land mass of magical beings, what real chance could they possibly have hoped to have had? Vanity is demoralized in tears, unwilling to even look at the devastation on his knees, standing behind him, with his hand on his shoulders, Heger was whispering repeatedly, do not give retaliation, we are too late. Mayuria says, my retaliation, indeed, with tears in her eyes, when they come down, Pulsar is already waiting on them, she is sitting on the shore being splashed by incoming water, she is in a state of shock, though it is obvious she knew they were coming back. Before we move along past her boarding ship, cries, unpassionate tears, Vanity runs over to her and embraces her, fearful someone might take the cruise, thinking it is an ordinary risky ship, the group asks Heger to stay aboard, Pulsar only moves when she sees Cahiran standing before her. Pulsar says, they may still be here dismantling the crystal, please, but before she can finish speaking, embraces him with her arms with all her might, Cahiran, who still cannot understand where she is coming from, does not hug back, he just looks down at her, too, then, understanding everything rests on him, tells the others, let's go. The group takes off, rushing through the battered and ruined area, as they get ready to reach the airy crystal, they consume it either to take away the exhausted feel they have from running so much, when they arrive, the center has been torn in pieces, it reveals the crystal had grown into the massive roots of the area, all of this has been pulled up, so many slain elves, fairies, and people are scattered about, who try protecting the area, Kida, the sorcerer, is among what's left of the crystal's absorbency, Hageshi looks over toward them as they run up, Hageshi, the sorcerer, says, ah, the little band of swashbucklers, there is nothing you all can do, or could have done, for that matter, Manami, the sorcerer, says, why were you all following after us in the first place, Cahiran, consumed with anguish, says, the nerve, the audacity, we owe you no explanation, monsters, only my sword, as his friends cry out to him to stop, Cahiran rips his off with his sword drawn, Manami says, it's been a millennium since I fought a good sword fight, but I am the greatest sword fighter whom ever lived, Manama, who had been shuffling cards, puts them up, he reaches his hand out, and the sword of a dead elf relinquishes from his grip, and flows to Manami, once they meet, they clash sword to sword, Cahiran says, we can try and stop the other sorcerer, who absorbs the remaining crystal, the others rush over toward him, while Cahiran and Manami cross blades, it is obvious, Manama is holding back immensely, Manama crosses swords with Cahiran until it becomes one sided, as Manama continues to slowly increase, eventually he is moving so fast, Cahiran cannot even see him, and has cut in various places, Manami then shatters Cahiran's blade, looking at it as it shatters Cahiran's speech, he utters a very unpassionate no, and drops his sword, Manama places his sword at his throat, the others stop what they are doing and look over, Manama says, you may be the greatest opponent I have ever faced, but no less the fool, for such honor though, I won't kill you, no, I want you to see us win, Cahiran hollers, but you all have already won, what more is there, Hageshi says, won, have we, are we gods as Ritalichu and Erichu, unable to be touched, only reachable in prayer, no small minded one, until we have tasted their fruit and thrown them from the very skies they inhabited, we won't have won, Nishi the sorceress says, we desire it all, and until we have it, he smiles grimly, Hageshi says, come Manami, it's time to lead them to their own devices, as Manami rises, Cahiran manages to utter, you should have killed me Manami, I'll keep coming no matter until I kill you all, on his knees, looking up, humiliated to the core, Hageshi says, that's what you believe, but soon, you and yours will be in the world of Ardazai, and in that realm, it is us you will believe in, Cahiran realizing the depth of what he is saying, his eyes go buck, his fist clenched violently, and he angrily groans out loud, the wind sorceress fly off, while a group rushes over to Cahiran, who sits on his knees, with a look of depression on his face, they gather around him, but no one speaks, Cahiran brings his head down, from looking at the sorceress in the distance, he gets up on his feet, Cahiran loudly says, with all the strength left in me, come on, let's head after them, they all notice that the passion he has had, where the fuel, I hate our vengeance, since the beginning is gone, something seems to have grown in him in all this time, now he is moving out of the way of it, whatever it is, it's a new passion, and they all are willing to follow it, as they have followed him, everyone runs off behind him, Berseru, who makes sure to grab his sword, and as many of his broken pieces, as he can.
