The whole area was suddenly covered in a dark mist. The tall school buildings and the sound of the lunch cla.s.ses had vanished. There was nothing but an eerie silence and feeling that makes the hair stand in one"s skin.As time went by for some reason, Lesse felt like she was slowly losing her strength and her sense of direction completely numbed.
Kahayag, on the other hand, had a grim expression in her face. With her eyes glued to the horrifying figure of the so-called King"s Envoy, she could not help tighten her grip to her bow.
She had just fought a hundred of Shadow minions and two high-tiered ones. But just when she thought everything is over, this enemy suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Not to mention, it even single-handedly stopped her last attack with its own mouth as if her Light arrow was just a delicious piece of snack! This alone shows that it was an enemy that she couldn"t mess with right now. Not when she is not in her peak!
The King"s Envoy stood in front of the ma.s.sive figure of the werewolf Shadow. A mysterious smile carved in its smile that freakishly stretches far behind its head. Its demon-like individual eyes blinked synchronously as its human-like figure stood nonchalantly grabbed the injured Shadow behind it.
"...?"
The Shadow werewolf had a confused look on its face before its whole dark body was being grabbed and tucked into its mouth. Its ma.s.sive figure was quickly sucked into the Envoy"s mouth as if he was made of water!
Without hesitation, the Shadow werewolf was devoured without even given a chance to resist. Try as it may run but the black hole like mouth of the envoy freakishly opened and it was gone in a jiffy!
Seeing this, Kahayag and Lesse could not help but stand back in the domineering fear and intimidation they felt.
"Granny..." Lesse helplessly looked at Kahayag"s paled figure. She is hoping to hear back any of the confident plans this old woman had before but now, all she could see is obvious exhaustion in her s.h.i.+vering face and fear in its old eyes.
Right after devouring the shadow"s figure, the Envoy calmly took a thin black towel out of the small pocket of its n.o.ble-looking clothes. Slowly it wiped its incredibly wide mouth before facing back at Lesse and Kahayag"s direction and started advancing with a wide grin.
"Lesse, prepare yourself. I will open a path for you, I want you to take those boys away from here." Kahayag suddenly spoke.
"Aren"t we going to fight him?" Lesse hurriedly asked.
"Do you think I have what it takes to take down an Envoy of the King from the Dark Realm?"
Seeing the anxious look at Kahayag"s face, Lesse realized just how dire their situation actually is.
"Even if I am on my peak, I am not that completely confident I can take him all alone. What"s more that I have to protect your weak b.u.ms as well." Kahayag said as recomposed herself.
"Unfortunately, we are currently under its own domain. trapped in a separate s.p.a.ce, in between the physical and etherial realm. We have no choice but to force our way out by defeating him."
"I can still fight." Lesse quickly added, holding tightly to her samurai while giving a determined look.
Seeing the incredible fighting spirit Lesse possessed, Kahayag could only smile helplessly.
Looking at the hopeless faces of its prey, the King"s Envoy smiled even more wickedly and said,
"I thank you, for bringing both the last two survivors of the Eastern Dragon race, oh warrior of the Realm of Light."
Hearing this, Lesse frowned in confusion and looked at Kahayag with a questionable gaze.
"Hmmp, don"t think you already won. As long as I live, you will never succeed. Even if I have to risk my life." Kahayag courageously declared. Lesse, on the other hand, heigved a sigh.
"Oh, so you still want to fight? Even after what I showed you just now?" The Envoy replied.
Kahayag transformed her bow back into a sword made of light and said,
"It takes more than that to scare me."
Finally, her wings of light also flowed out from her back and created quite a contrast to the dark and eerie background.
Her figure became covered in divine light, her true form as a Spiritual Warrior from the Realm of Light in its full reveal!
Like an angel of hope, Kahayag stood with her light wings unfurled widely together with her unyielding determination against the incoming enemy.
"Stay back for now and be prepared." Kahayag whispered slowly before her image suddenly turned into a white blur, leaving behind a powerful gush of forceful wind.
SHOOOOOSH~
Like a bright ball of light, Kahayag"s figure managed to cover the distance between her and the Envoy in a flash, followed by a mad hack and slash that instantly sliced the Envoy"s body into hundreds of pieces.
Like a skillful warrior, she had completed her attack and immediately distanced for possible retaliation. The envoy, on the other hand, was just nothing but a heap of chopped meat!
Seeing the result, Lesse"s eyes glowed in a hopeful glow. However, Kahayag, on the other hand, did not show any signs of a satisfied look though. Her now orange glowing eyes remained glued to the Envoy"s figure as its diced body slowly floated up and rea.s.sembled themselves anew.
As if nothing, even its n.o.ble-looking dress had been recovered to its perfect condition! Not to mention all its creepy eyes are intact!
HAHAHAHAHA~
A burst of loud and creepy laughter followed after its complete regeneration.
WIth mocking voice, the Envoy said, "Judging from the intensity of your divine powers, it seems you have never gone back to your realm to replenish yourselves. Could it be? You must have gone loco over that mere mortal that you even decided to -"
SHOOOs.h.!.+~
SLAs.h.!.+~SLAs.h.!.+~SLASLASLAs.h.!.+~
Without even letting the envoy finish talking, Kahayag suddenly pressed another barrage of brutal attacks against it. With madness in her face, she hacked and hacked as if a mad woman!
But for some reason, her attacks could not do the same sharp cuts as before, like a dulled blade, her powers became weaker and her sword of light waning in its divine light.
In less than a minute, Kahayag"s wings of light and sword had completely dissipated as if it was removed from her!
"I see..." An enlightened look came into the Envoy"s face.
Kahayag suddenly kneeled down before the Envoy, her energy depleted and a hard gasping for air can be heard. An air of desperation could be felt from her!
"Let me tell you a secret.." The envoy suddenly kneeled down and whispered close to Kahayag"s ear.
"He. Is. Dead." The envoy added. Kahayag looked up with fire a rekindled fire burning in her eyes. Seeing her expected reaction the Envoy continued,
"Dead - forever."
HYAAAAAAAAH!~
Kahayag suddenly exploded in intense light, with everything she got, she suddenly choked the smiling Envoy by its neck, took him to the sky and dived back before slamming him forcefully!
WHAAAAAAM!~
SLASLASHSLAs.h.!.+~
And with another barrage of her barely-there sword of light, she continued to cut the Envoy until all her strength had faded.
"My turn." The Envoy smiled wickedly after recovering back to its perfect state as if all of Kahayag"s attacks were just an illusion!
PANG!~
With a kick to her stomach, Kahayag"s figure was sent flying high, before black wings made of smoke, flowed out of the Envoy"s back.
It followed up through Kahayag"s flying figure before grabbing her by the hair mid-air and forcefully throwing her down to the ground!
WHAAAAAAM!~
"Granny!~" Lesse shouted in panic after seeing her only hope being thrashed to the ground. Kahayag on the other side spewed out a mouthful of blood from the impact.
"Let"s finish this play old hag." Flying above the sky with its domineering black wings, the Envoy" smooth suddenly stretched abnormally wide, its intention is clear.
He wants to devour Kahayag.
And like a playful giant crow, it"s body dived down from the distance before it swiftly glided down towards Kahayag, ready to devour her in one gulp.
Seeing this, Lesse could not help but grab her sharp blade to protect granny Kahayag when Long"s hand suddenly reached and grabbed her foot. She looked down only to see Long shaking his head, he does not want Lesse to go.
"But, granny..." Lesse mumbled with tears in her eyes. Her hands refusing to let go of the weapon. Long, only tightened his grip, not wanting his sister to go.
"I-its over. F-for her and for u-us." Long replied with hopeless eyes. Lesse could only look at the distant Kahayag and her pitiful situation, quickly, Lesse closed her teary eyes in surrender. Not wanting to see how Kahayag would end up from the horrifying enemy.
"Your body is mine!" The envoy widened its void -like mouth together with its six exited eyes when suddenly.
SLAP!~
CRAASH~BOOM!
The envoy"s ma.s.sive body hard-dived the solid dark ground, a good twenty meters before finally cras.h.i.+ng on a big tree.
It"s six creepy eyes were dumbstruck as it moved to look at the shape of the palm imprinted deeply in its swollen cheeks.
It was slapped! A hard slap!
Quickly, it"s furious head turned to look at the suspect"s figure only to see Elric standing beside Kahayag"s figure with a grumpy look on its face.
"Old witch! What are you doing with my grandma"s body!? Not because I allowed you to use it, doesn"t mean you can let it suffer! Oh, poor grandma"s body. I am a sorry grandma. Don"t worry. I will heal your body back to its perfect state. When you come back, I will make sure it is as good as new. No more wrinkles and no more white hairs!" Elric beckoned towards Kahayag who was struggling to get up. He was shaking his head in disappointment before noticing the Envoy.
His eyes even became more furious as he pointed at the envoy.
"And you! You stupid wide-mouthed ugly ogre clown! Did you say you want my grandma"s body!?" a terrifying aura suddenly flared out of Elric.
His spiritual presence instantly surged into the heavens and the Envoy"s domain dissipated as if meeting the unstoppable sun for the first time!
Back to his real handsome appearance while cracking his fist, Elric suddenly appeared before the Envoy"s unkempt figure and whispered coldly,
"Let me hear you say those words one-more-time."
