Everybody took notice!
His grace and shine seems to put down the fire arround him.
Sucking the whole atmosphere and making him the sole point of attention.
Everybody stopped what they were doing and looked at him walking slowly.
Ether. '...His aura is so overwhelming!
How is someone this strong is in here??!!
Nothing about this was mentionned in the data given by Mister Guiado...
We have miscalculated everything!!'
Suddenly, his thoughts were caught off by the Marid who he was fighting!
As for Herald, he can barely move his head to look at the new comer.
'...Who's this one? He looks so different...
If i wasn't in this position i'd surely think...He's an angel!
He must...be really powerful, i can't feel his aura like the others. Shit!
It means he's beyond my level...
Why can I not move? Is it a different kind of spell this time....
We're out numbered and cornered...If only...
If only...'
Herald was talking within himself, feeling hopeless...He thought about someone.
Someone that always came in unexpected moments. Only he can save this situation!
Endymeon gets near Herald.
"Hmm...Who did this with our lovely protagonist?
Was it you Samara?".
"Yes, his end is near.
We overestimated his worth and strength to be honest.
However, I think the elders will be happy after getting the news."
Endymeon stares at her for a second...Then looks down at Herald.
Ether cannot do anything about Herald's situation, the other Marid rose from fire and both of them are now fighting against him!
Slowly, Endymeon puts his hand on Herald's head! The latter cannot move one inch...but his eyes showed how terrifying he felt!! He's completely under this incredibly intimidating entity.
Against what was expected! The weird liquid who covered and took all of Herald's powers disappeared!!
Samara got outrageous.
"What the hell are you doing???!!!
You just undid my spell!!"
Endymeon removes the smile from his face and looks at her with a serious face.
"If you don't want your life to end today, you better leave this place.
You and your pathetic partners.
I thought i made it clear, he is mine!"
Samara and John bit on their teeth, not knowing what to do...
"What about...the other Jinn?" She asked.
Endymeon looks at Ether fighting.
"...He's not bad!
Giving both of your strongest marids a tough time.
I am sure he's holding on for some reason.
Leave him to me as well."
Samara. "But..."
John stops her from continuing...
"Just leave it to him...As long as we're making it safe out from here.
It's a win for us."
Samara was convinced, it is already clear for anyone that even if they were witches of the central occult. They rank lower than this new comer!
"Yeah. You"re...".
Those, were her last words!
While being distracted, Herald took advantage of the situation and punched John so hard from the back it broke his spine!!!!
He was so fast nobody could intervene...Samara stood still in her place. The frightenning feeling of knowing well that this is...your last moment!
For Herald, It was no time to think about codes or morals...An enemy is an enemy.
Evil is evil.
Even worse than the way he killed John, Herald grabs Samara from the face and burries it deep into the ground. Breaking her neck, and all possibilities of survival!
The moment he finished, both Marids stopped fighting Ether unexplicably...
One of them spoke.
"We are free! I am able to speak...Brother!"
"Yes we are, let us go back home..." The other replied.
Ether did not continue fighting them either, he understood what is happening in front of him.
The two Marids, were enslaved against their will!
So they went away peacefully.
*Clap Clap Clap*
"Splendid! you have indeed shocked me with this turn of events Mr Herald!".
Endymeon was amazed!
Herald was halting, the spell has casted away a lot of his powers...Having killed both of them may have took all what was left in him.
Ether quickly goes and fuse with him. It was the right thing to do now that the enemy is one.
"Good job...But i have to say we are really lucky."
Herald. "Too early to say so...He's the real danger in all of this."
Ether. "Indeed...Look! The moment we realise he's an opponent we can't take.
Will be the time for us to run from this place, luckily for us...Outside will be very crowded."
Herald. "Alright."
Endymeon. "So you can also fuse? Interesting...I didn't think we're that similar!
I hope you'll continue to entertain me because, this may very well be your last dance mr.Herald!"
Spreading his white feathery wings, his lights shined even more...almost blinding Herald's sight.
He stretches his hand for a moment...then tightens his fist!
the distance between them was about 6meters, but Herald could feel as if he was grabbed within his palm!! Unable to move again.
Endymeon moves his hand sideways, and Herald gets thrown at the wall right away!!
"What the hell...UGH FUCK!!!!
How is....he controlling me from that distance??"
Ether. "I don't know....I don't quite understand his powers yet."
Then again, he throws him towards another wall, like a ball. Multiple times!
If it wasn't for Ether fusing with him, Herald would have all his bones broken by now.
"What's the matter?
You can't break away from my gravitational powers? This is really my weakest move."
As he was thrown here and there, Herald and Ether were thinking.
"...Gravitational powers?? So he's controlling me by gravity?"
Ether. "Makes sense...If its the case then we just have to apply stronger power than his."
Herald tries his hardest to stop and escape the powerful grasp of Endymeon.
Endymeon. "...Finally some resistence! But you'll need to push even harder."
Herald still ends up thrown to the wall, each time he breaks it...The place is slowly getting destroyed!
"This place may very well end up falling apart. Which is no good.
This is a very important place for our goals.
How about...I bring you closer to the center of gravity!"
This time, he drags Herald towards him...Herald tries to resist it...Burrying his feet in the ground.
But this time the gravity was even stronger...
An idea fell down on him!
'It's risky...But at this point everything is.'
Herald stops resisting, to the opposite! He jumped straight towards Endymeon with all the speed he has. Adding that to the gravitational power, and the short distance between the two, it made him even quicker and impossible to stop!
"TAKE THIS!!!!"
Straight to his handsome face...a fist that held both Herald and Ether's power.
His plan succeeded!!
But...
Endymeon wasn't moved even one inch from his place!! Only his face got turned back, covered with his hair.
Seeing this, Herald instinctively tried to back down to keep a safe distance...But he was denied by gravity!!
Endymeon, sloowly turned his face back in front, he touched his bleeding nose...and licked it with a smile!
What made Herald even more scared, is that the only damage taken from the punch....was the little blood coming out!!!
"Very well done! The first act ends here...
Now it's my turn."
It was in slow motion, all fingers coming together shaping a strong fist...all muscles moving geometrically to create movement. All the way to the point where Herald's eyes saw nothing...
But darkness!
