Chereads / The 12th Guardian / Chapter 71 - Vengeance of The Fallen

Chapter 71 - Vengeance of The Fallen

Bringing his arms over his face Naraku defends himself, getting knocked back a few feet. Not letting up on his assault, Weiso begins to bring himself in for a hook coming from the left. Impacting Naraku on his right side rib cage. With a wince Naraku lets his guard down, leaving his chest wide open. Weiso comes in from the right once again hitting Naraku dead center in the chest. With the wind knocked out of him Naraku spits up blood dropping to the floor. Picking up his face, Weiso begins to pummel his fist into Naraku's.

"Did you really think you would be able to avoid my attacks!"

[Weiso, Laughing as he further pummels the face of Naraku]

"How are you doing over there my brothers!"

[Weiso, still pummeling Naraku face]

As he waits he realizes it has been too quiet. Unsure of why he begins to slow down on his assault on Naraku and check on his brothers. Turning to see the final blow of both Isha and Obitiga. Isha has his fist dripping with blood while sitting within a newly formed hole in Jiga. With a shocked look on his face Jiga's eyes begin to lose the life within them, and his body slowly slips off Taru's fist and onto the ground. As for Taru, he turned to see his corpse as it slowly fell down the arena stairs, to the bottom. Making it way down slowly Weiso could see his newly formed carcass riddled with arrows. Turning to the top of the stairs to see a battered Obitiga, aiming his own arrow at him.

Letting go of his string Obitiga sends an arrow hurling its way towards the center of Weiso head. With ease Weiso tilts his head avoiding the arrow. No words were said by Weiso as he let Naraku head go from his hands, dropping it to the ground. As he begins to step towards his brother's body, you could see the air around him begin to change, slowly beginning to look like it was curtorting to his will. Electricity begins to surge around him, as he reaches his brother he kneels. Letting out a cry of sorrow, and a shockwave of pressure around the arena. As if lightning had just struck him. His eyes began to glow a dark purple, and the electricity around him began to flash with a purple hue.

"Jiga!"

[Weiso, looking into the stands]

"Taru!"

[Weiso, as he holds him bring his forehead against his own]

"My Borthers..How could they..all we did was put on a show for these fools..to kill you the way they did.."

[Weiso, as he cries rocking the lifeless body of Taru in his arms]

Silence begins to fall over the room, even more, standing up Weiso disappears reappearing near the body of Jiga. Picking him up with care he flashes back to the bottom of the arena, opening up a hole with his magic. Putting both his brother's bodies into the hole, he begins to let out a prayer.

"Emi yoo firanṣẹ ifẹ ni igbesi aye lẹhin."

[whispering to them goodbye]

With the final passing of their bodies, he closes up the void. Now turning back to the team. Obitigia and Isha begin descending down from the stands.

"In this world you only find a few people you can love. To find them in the family is an even more beautiful task. My little brothers have forever been there, we grew up making magic together, going to the Shosioma Academy together, and finally here at the Carnival where we began to work together. We've spent almost no days apart, and now have to spend the rest of my life time without them..Your friend over there. Naraku was it? His life as well as your own, will barely be enough to make up for the pain you have caused me."

[Weiso, turning towards the body of Naraku]

As he begins to make his way towards Obitigia, now panicked begins to send out arrows. Each seemed to hit their mark but left no dent, falling to the ground as if nothing happened. Catching his breath Isha begins to charge his essence into one last attack. As Weiso arrives at the body of Naraku, he lifts his head.

"It looks as though you have not that much essence left within you. I would have saved you for last, but your friends sealed your fate. Goodbye."

[Weiso, picking up Naraku's body]

Weiso fist begins to move inwards towards the center of Naraku chest, right before the final impact, Isha blocks it, using the essence he had charged up.

"So you came to save your friend. How cute of you."

[Weiso, smacking Isha to the ground]

Hitting the ground with an impact hard enough to be heard through the arena, Isha coughs up blood.

"Di..Did..did you expect us not to try and save him."

[Isha, as he turns Weiso attention to Obitiga]

Turning back to find a gust of wind heading towards him Weiso puts his arms up to block, getting blown back enough to be out of reach of both Naraku and Isha.

"Are you two okay?"

[Obitiga, from the stands as he makes a hasty approach towards the two]

Finally stopping, Weiso deflects the rest of the attack destroying the arrow Obitiga sent out at him. Obitiga and Isha begin to then move Naraku's battered body to the stands in order to focus on the battle ahead.

"You three remind me of us, you know!"

[Screaming from across the arena]

"To have a bond so tight especially in the presence of death is beautiful to me. It almost makes me not want to avenge my brother's death."

[Weiso, beginning to crack his neck]

So I guess my fight with the two of you must finish first before I can get to your friend there.

"We aren't just going to let you walk over us."

[Isha]

"Yes, but you won't get in my way, his death will be most satisfying compared to that of the two of you, since I was distracted for too long that I could not save my dear little brothers."

[Weiso, as Obitiga and Isha come back towards the middle of the arena]

"So let us begin!"

[Weiso, as he howls into the ceiling of the arena]
