Chapter 141 - Vol. 10 - Chapter 8: El Charro Negro vs. the Empire Devil

(CCCRRRAASSHHH)

Uriel is sent flying to a wall crashing, the devil charges towards Uriel. Uriel gathers manna in his fist and punches the devil with wind sending it flying towards the other side. Uriel gathers manna in his feet and uses as impulse as he jumps straight toward the devil. The devil charges towards Uriel grabbing him and flies to top as he holds him tight with his claws; causing Uriel to feel extreme pain.

(BBBBBOOOOMM)

The devil crashes Uriel in top of the sewer. The devil makes Uriel pass though the wall and both of them crash into a moving train that goes to the opposite direction towards Manhattan square.

"AAHHHH" People begin to scream and run away from the cart as Uriel passes through a window along with the devil.

(RRRAAAWWWW)

The devil begins to roar as it grabs Uriel's legs and sends him flying along the small cart. Uriel crashes in the door, the devil begins to laugh:

"Is that all you got, you look worn out already"

Uriel stands up and grabbing his arm, he breathes heavily and replies:

"Sorry, I still haven't recovered from fighting the wendigo. But don't worry; I will pick up the paste. Uriel begins to gather manna in his hand, the manna takes form of wind as Uriel chants; "Viento Divino-Proyectil" (Divine Wind- Projectile)

Uriel fires a wind ball directly towards the devil.-BBBOOOOMMM- The wind ball makes impact causing the windows of the cart to break. However, the devil was unharmed; Uriel smiles and continues to fire wind projectiles towards the devil multiple times.

The train begins to stop as it arrives to the famous Manhattan Station, people who were living their daily routines not knowing what was happening. The train stops completely and the doors begin to open. At the moment begin to walk straight to the train, Uriel is sent flying towards a wall making an explosion.

(CCCRRRRAAASSHHHH)

People begin to panic as they see the devil getting off the train; they begin to run towards the stairs trying to get away from the monster. Uriel breathes heavily as his head begins to bleed, he stands up thinking:

"Damn it, this devil is really smart, he can counter my attacks and knows that I perceive his movements thanks to my rhythm sense and changes the patter completely. Calm down, I need to see his weakness, he must have something."

The devil tries to attack a group of kids that were passing by. Uriel notices and with great speed kicks the monster sending him flying to a pillar.

"WOOOOOWWW" The kids scream as they saw Uriel take action, one of them begins to scream:

"THAT WAS SO COOL, YOU ACTED LIKE THOSE SPACE RANGERS ON T.V."

Uriel begins to remember the things Juan made him do when he was training and thinks:

"So that's how I look like, I can't believe that Viejo was right after all."

"Hey kids, you need to run as fast as you can okay, go now." Uriel says to the kids as they begin to run screaming:

"THANK YOU MUCH SPACE RANGER."

Uriel sighs with his eyes close; the devil stands up and spreads his wings charging straight towards Uriel, Uriel predicts his movements and dodges the devil by lowers his head, he makes an upward kick. He kicks the devils stomach and sends him flying towards the ceiling. –BBBBOOOMMM- The devil begins to fall, Uriel gathers manna in both his hands and puts them together chanting:

"Viento Divino- Cyclon" (Divine wind- Cyclone)

Uriel creates a small cyclone impacting the devil and sends him flying crashing to multiples walls.

(CCRRRAASSSHHHHH)

Uriel falls into one knee thinking to himself; "Did that manage to slow him down?"

The devil who was unconscious begins to remember events from the past. Images of people persecuting the devil with torches, swords and guns fly in the devil's mind. He begins to remember Alexandria's words:

"Don't worry; you are safe as long as you are my servant."

The devil stands up and opens his eyes saying; "I am lady Alexandria's servant, I will fulfill my duty-RRRRRAAAAWWW-"The devil charges straight towards Uriel impacting him to the pillars and throws him to the stairs. Uriel tries react but the devil strikes one more time.

(BBBOOOOMMM)

Meanwhile, people who walk on top of the battle scene do their daily lives. Many girls pose at the Manhattan square taking pictures, people eat in restaurants that are near. Many just stand to view the announcement made by the giant screens. In the highest skyscraper, Alexandria who was observing the battle smiles:

"It appears I must head towards the next meeting spot, things are going to get noisy in this city." Alexandria begins to disappear by fading away like an illusion.

(BBBBOOOMMM)

People who were walking feel the ground shaking, and some of them begin to ask:

"WHAT WAS THAT? WAS IT AN EARTHQUAKE?"

(BBBBOOOOMMM)

The ground shakes one more time, this time it made the cars stop, some window shatter. People begin to panic as the shaking continues, suddenly:

(CCRRRAASSSHHH)

A figure is sent flying and crashes straight to the main screen, causing an explosion.-AHHHH- People begin to run away, some begin to film the events with their phones. Inside the screen, Uriel lies down breathing heavily, thinking:

"His movements changed, they are more aggressive and faster."

(BBBBOOOOMMMM)

A huge explosion causes an enormous dust cloud to rise up at the middle of the Manhattan square. The Empire Devil flies out of the dust cloud. Uriel watches the monster fly; he begins to run and uses the power of the wind as an impulse as he jumps trying to reach him. The devil dodges Uriel, Uriel lands at the top of a building; he begins to run chasing after the devil that flies through the skyscrapers, Uriel jumps from building to building thinking:

"Where is he heading, I must stop him before he reaches Deborah."

Uriel takes out his pistol, Uriel jumps trying to aim to the devil; however, the devil disappears from Uriel´s sight. "Where did he…" Uriel was asking himself when suddenly, the devil appears behind him, and the devil begins to gather manna in his mouth. "You are interfering with my mission." The devil says as he releases a blue manna ray directly at Uriel.

"I can't dodge it, damn it." Uriel is in mid air meaning that he cannot move away. Suddenly a red chain grabs Uriel´s leg and pulls him away from the blast.

(BBBBBBOOOMMMM)

The blue manna ray penetrates several skyscrapers causing massive explions, the ray reaches to the statue of a woman located outside the city in a certain island.

(CCCCRRAASSSHHH)

The manna ray destroys the upper body, holes a made in the middle of the skyscrapers. Uriel lands at the ceiling of the building. He looks around and notices the silhouette of a young woman wearing a black and red hood.

"Thank you for saving me, but who are you?" Uriel asks the young woman, she who has no expression replies:

"Don't mention, it was just something I was order to do, I would concentrate if I was you."

The girl disappears in the shadows; Uriel looks up and sees the devil flying away. Uriel begins to run faster trying to catch up to him. Uriel begins to fire his pistol by chanting:

"Balada del Pistolero; Las Jaras" (Ballad of the Gunner; The arrows)

The bullets take form of arrows trying to reach the devil that flies into the skyscrapers avoiding them. Uriel chases after him firing multiple times.

(PIU, PIU, PIU)

The devil also breathes out manna rays trying to hit Uriel as well. The fighting continues as rain begins to fall in the city. They continue to exchange blows until they reach the park. Uriel uses the opportunity and chants:

"La araña"

He fires a massive amount of manna that turns into a spider net. The devil gets trapped in the net and begins to fall straight to the Manhattan Park.

(BBBBBOOOOMMM, SPPPPLLLAAASSHHH)

The devil lands in the middle of the lake, Uriel lands outside, he begins to breathe heavily waiting for the devil to emerge. Uriel begins to think:

"This monster is different, it kind of reminds me.."

(SSSSPPPLLLAASSHH)

(RRRRAAAWWW)

The devil comes out of the water making a huge roar and fire manna ray once more. Uriel blocks it using his wind barrier, he stands up and points at the devil saying:

"La Garza" (The heron)

Uriel releases a large amount of manna in the shape of a heron hitting the devil.-BBBOOOOMMM- The devil begins to fall and charges straight towards Uriel. Uriel begins to concentrate wind in his hand making it spin at great speed, the static of the wind creates lightning. Uriel closes his eyes and thinks of his mother saying:

"Thank you, for teaching this to me mother."

"Modelo del Rayo; Lanza divina del relampago" (Lightning model; Divine thunder lance.)

Uriel raleases lightning manna in the shape of a spear and stabs the devil.-RRRAAAAWWW- The devil roars as he is sent towards a tree. Uriel begins to walk slowly towards him and asks:

"Are you ready to give up?"

"Never, you don't understand, you are all the same." The devil says as he falls to the ground beaten, tears begin to come out of his eyes. Uriel with a serious tone asks:

"What do you mean? What is Alexandria to you?"

"She is my savior, ever since my birth, I was persecuted as a demon just because I was different. My father was a demon who only tricked my mother and forsakes her, my mother died because of my birth. I had no one, I was alone."

Uriel falls into one knee thinking; "My manna, I guess it ran out huh."

"So then, I take it that you are not a beast huh." Uriel says to the devil, he continues to speak:

"I was born with a cursed body, Alexandria found me when a I was dying in the woods, she gave me shelter, food and meaning to my life. She is like another to me that is why I must kill Deborah Williams. I don't understand, you have a much more vicious manna than I, yet you are defending and saving humans, what is wrong with you?"

Uriel is shocked by the devil´s question; he lowers his head and begins to think of his family. He lifts his head looking at the devil and replies:

To be honest, I don't know. I guess I haven't been betrayed as you have, I just want my family to be safe."

"I see, you have such a stupid ideology, but at least you have some reason unlike me." The devil replies to Uriel, Uriel smiles and says:

"My ideology may be stupid, but at least I am honest."

Uriel begins to remember the Chupacabras, and he begins to understand that not all monsters are evil. He remembers how the Chupacabras was brutally killed by El Muerto.

Uriel puts a serious expression and asks; "Are you going to try to kill Deborah Williams?"

The devil stands up and replies; "It is my mission."

"I understand, I guess we need to finish our fight then." Uriel says as he takes a deep breath and takes out his gun. Suddenly, ice chains begin to grab the devil.

"WHAT´S GOING ON?" Uriel asks as he sees the chains piercing the Empire Devil, causing to lose blood. A figure begins to walk out of the park; it was Alexandria who was walking straight to Uriel.

"M-M-Mother?" The devil asks, Alexandria with a repulsive look replies:

"Don´t say that I am your mother, you monster."

Alexandria makes more chains appear and pierce the devil causing to roar of pain. Alexandria looks at Uriel and says:

"Well done, you managed to beat the Empire Devil, even without your sword. However, I don't need that thing anymore."

Uriel looks furious at Alexandria, the devil begins to cry; "Why mother, I only wanted you to be happy, please give me another change."

"Just shut up, you are a thing that was never supposed to exist; I can't believe you have the nerve to call me mother."

Uriel is shocked to see what Alexandria was doing, however he was paralyzed because of his lack of manna. Alexandria looks at the devil and says:

"Just die already, you a nuisance."

"M-M-Moth…" A black spear with a red blade pierces the monster´s heart and makes it explode.

(BBBBOOOMMM)

The devil completely disappears, Uriel is speechless, he begins to look at Alexandria with rage, and she smiles and says:

"That wasn't me, it was his doing."

Uriel looks up and sees El Muerto, this time with a red stripe. The spear returns to his hand, as he floats thanks to his dark wings. Uriel begins to scream:

"WHY DID YOU KILL HIM?"

"Because I was ordered to do so, now then we shall meet again." El Muerto replies as he flies away. Uriel looks Alexandria and asks:

"What are you doing here?"

"I just came here to get my powers back." Alexandria smiles as the sound of a door closing is heard. Uriel turns around and his eyes open wider as he sees Deborah on the floor with Johanna pointing a gun at her. A man walks out from the other side and says:

"It´s nice to finally be able to meet you, Charro Negro or should I say Horseman of War."
