Flashback to the Previous day

After everyone had gone to bed Los and Sekhmet had to speak. They met outside the Building where Los was staying, Seeing her Los asked "So where have you been staying this whole time?" Sekhmet pointed behind her at a stable looking at her closely Los could indeed see some hay in her hair. Los looked back at her face with a 'Bruh' expression. Sekhmet coughed into her hand before saying "Anyway we must get to the root of the matter." Los nodded and she continued "The Sanctuary is not what it sounds like." Los looked confused and asked her "What is the sanctuary?" Sekhmet's face hardened and she replied "You will find this out tomorrow but first we must Designate Roles." "Roles?" an even more confused Los asked. Sekhmet held up a finger and said: "One of us should stay back and protect the Mansion and the other should go with Subaru to try and assist with any major problems, However, this is a delicate situation, and only threats on Subaru and Emilia's lives should be dealt with." Los put his head down in thought and asked "So you are saying I can help but not help with everything? also, how do you know any of this? What does the Mansion need Protection From?" Sekhmet nodded and replied, "Roswall Mathers Possesses a complete copy of the gospel the same thing Petelgeuse possessed, I know of this because he has been alive for a long time and possesses the body of his descendants, the plans are detailed in this Gospel. as for your second question the Mansion is going to be attacked By assassins contracted by a leader known as 'Mother'  I know this because I snooped around and saw a certain scantily clad woman you might know." Los looked surprised "Elsa? I didn't think I would see her again." Who is her target?" Sekhmet nodded and replied, "I used the unseen hand to take a letter off of her person it seems she has merely been contracted to Kill two maids at the Mansion." Los looked confused at what this could mean but before he could speak Sekhmet jumped in "We must choose roles now." Los nodded and replied, "I will go to the sanctuary no question of it." Sekhmet was about to Respond but Los looked her dead in the eye and said "But, you must understand, I have no idea of your abilities and I'm trusting you to take care of my closest allies and friends, I will need some proof of capability." Sekhmet laughed and replied, "Follow me." with that she disappeared Los saw her flying away rapidly so he followed. The Two arrived at the place the 'Star' Had landed the surrounding area was a charred mess and closer to the point of impact was entirely glassed from the heat creating a wonderous scene Reflecting the moonlight. In the center, Sekhmet waited for Los who landed across from her and asked "So how will we determine this." Sekmet simply smiled and telepathically told him 'You will need everything at your disposal so I suggest a no-holds-barred fight for  ten seconds.'  Los smiled back and entered a fighting stance Sekhmet pointed her hand up and prepared a small orb of energy "When this orb lands ten seconds will have elapsed." Los nodded and Sekhmet shot the orb Straight up into the sky. Instantly Los shot across the distance, but before he could reach Sekhmet a massive weight seemed to push him Fracturing the glass beneath him down he resisted it but he was unable to move beyond looking up to see a smiling, unmoving Sekhmet he crackled with Red and Black energy,  it gave him enough strength to reach for his sword and draw it. he thrust the blade in the opposite direction he felt the force coming from (0.25 seconds have elapsed) The force felt like it lifted and he shot back he could somewhat negate whatever the force was but it was still a huge Debuff with this thought he realized a possible solution He imagined the shifting,  infinite mass of his blade transform and meld itself to his body to armor him it did just that and he shot forward once again (0.50 seconds have elapsed) The force was exerted once again but it had little effect on Los he closed into melee attack range and swung a fist at her, An off-guard Sekhmet barely managed to dodge the attack which shot a blast of wind destroying the area behind them Sekhmet swiftly countered punching Los who was sent flying and skidding across the glass (1 second has elapsed) Los stood up bleeding he negated the damage done to himself and the glass shards popped out of him he darted in again this time prepared for the counter he feinted one way and it seemed to work as Sekhmet turned to face the direction he had feinted revealing her flank but this time when he shot in to strike he was pushed back by an invisible mass throwing him far away he stuck the landing this time. it had been different than the invisible force that had pushed him down earlier this had felt like a physical object that he simply couldn't see, Knowing this he put a finger over both of his eyes he crackled with black and white energy he negated the lack of ability of his eyes to perceive whatever had touched him. (2 Seconds have elapsed) Sekhmet smiled at this 'Such ridiculous abilities.' she remarked Telepathically. Los could now see what it had been that pushed him away, an inconceivable amount of unseen hands were produced from Sekhmet's back like a massive billowing black cloak. Sekhmet could tell he was surprised and telepathically told him 'This is Ten-Thousand unseen hands I was always better than Satella at this and  Spending millennia on that star only improved my abilities.' Los nodded and shot in again undeterred, a few stray hands flew at him he dodged and weaved however the unbelievable mass was soon before him there was no way through, under, over, or around it so he did all he could think at the time, Punching as hard as he could with the full power of the infinite mass cloaking his body he sent the mass flying. inside Sekhmet Laughed and it landed about 100 feet away before unfurling and she once again descended to the ground. Los prepared to attempt another offensive but Sekmet waved a finger. (5 seconds have elapsed) 'You have had your fun, now I'd say it's my turn for an offensive, wouldn't you?' she did not wait for an answer and instead, the hands fanned out and shot toward Los at such speed he only had time to raise a hand before they were all around him he crackled with Red and Black energy as the hands began to Crush him. he gasped fading out of consciousness for a moment he recalled when Subaru had shown him what had happened in the first Loop when he had destroyed the City Shouting with effort Los held his hand in a direction, which one he couldn't say due to the swirling mass of black hands surrounding him. the pure Red energy appeared and expanded Rapidly burning the hands away, Sekhmet shielded herself while leaping away but was still hit and blown away by the blast. Los fell from where the hands had been holding him gasping to the ground he stood up to his feet to see Sekhmet standing far away looking rattled (7 seconds have passed) He once again crackled with Red and black energy and telepathically asked 'Is this where we end things?' Sekhmet shook her head 'No.'  With that, the hands sprouted from her once again Los shot a fan-shaped blast that ripped up the earth creating a wave-like effect that shot toward Sekhmet the hands shot out to meet the wave and the two forces collided, and the wave was ground to a halt but not before it burned through most of the hands leaving Sekhmet standing there again. (8 seconds have passed.) 'This is finished'  Los thought but to his surprise, Sekhmet smiled he then saw something he had overlooked Previously a single hand stretched out from the nape of her neck she had purposely thinned it so it would be nearly invisible next to the thousands of other hands. Looking up Los saw it Stretched to the sky out of view he wondered what this could accomplish but then saw it a flash in the sky like something falling instinctually he prepared to shoot away as fast as he could (9 seconds have passed) From the sky the lone hand was pulling a star down accelerating its descent Los began to move but once again the force exerted itself pushing him down he tried to focus to get it to fade again but before he could move enough the unseen hands were on him again. just enough to hold his legs down it seemed at the very least he had reduced her ability to create the unseen hands slightly. However, with no way to move, he crackled with Red energy no Black energy was accompanying it this time and he raised a hand straight up towards the falling Star from his hand a large ball of energy appeared it condensed into a small ball barely bigger than his hand before shooting up towards the star. Before contact the heat between the two objects seemed to repel them from each other it seemed to create a space that was crushed as they approached each other finally the space collapsed in on itself and the objects collided the Orb instantly burned into the Star and traveled through it once halfway through the orb exploded, at first the star seemed unaffected but after a brief moment it cracked and burst apart showering the surrounding area with flaming multicolored debris.  amongst the debris the orb Sekhmet had fired at the start fell back to the ground signifying that 10 seconds had passed. She smiled and asked "Well? I guess I lost you shut down my every attempt, so am I Not worthy to defend the Mansion?" Los shook his head baffled and replied "You'll do." 





Hey So We've picked up a few readers And if you read the last couple of chapters after Los fought Regulus and Ley Batenkaitos you probably noticed a bit of a dip in quality I was looking forward to writing that part and kind of sped through the events after it and most of it didn't happen in the original series so I had no base to write on as well. 


Anyway Hopefully this chapter Serves as a little apology for the last two and I can tell you I'm pretty excited to write about the next arc in the Sanctuary. That being said I don't want to make the same mistake of burning myself out and going off the main story too much, I won't spoil too much but just know there will be a couple of good fights and some good moments coming up and if you read this and enjoy it make sure to tell anyone you know who you think might be into it!
