"No... " Lyvia mumbled as she saw the dagger that Akeenu catches. It is the same dagger that took Akeenu's life.
"Why don't you use the Sword of Glutton to make it fast? It's rude to make your beloved wait no?"
"..."
Akeenu remained silent and a lot more surge of mana coated his claws. It turned dark blue that you almost mistaken it as black. 'Why would I use glutton? That would devour Lyvia's mana too mofo!' His brows seems not to straighten up. Lumnus on the other hand, was being restrained to his spot. His hands were trembling and couldn't find the courage to unsheathed his sword.
How can he do that knowing a powerful demon is infront of him? Their differences are already set in stones and also, he feel pity to the one who imposed himself as Regulus for being ignorantly blinded by emotions to not plan ahead to their ambush. That's why he felt the direction they have circling were rather nostalgic than fearful. It was the castle of the ruler. They have come to the King's domain. But never he once notice a powerful demon being kept inside this place. The temperature gone dropped suddenly as Akeenu's mood are nearing rock bottom. Lumnus wants to escape and save his life but he can't do that knowing the other two won't.
"Akeenu.. Oh dear Akeenu. Why are you giving me the cold shoulder? Aren't you glad to meet me? It-----"
"Enough of your bullshits Eliazard!" Without even turning his head, Akeenu said with spiteful tone. that made Eliazard laugh in enthusiasment.
"Kuhuhu... How frightening you are~" As if he doesn't mind Akeenu's anger, he even jokingly tap his shoulders. That's when Akeenu's patience snapped.
Boogsh!
Akeenu grabbed Eliazard's hand and twist his body to throw him outside the blasted wall. Lumnus with surprise, looked at Akeenu with his mouth ajar.
"You....you know he... he is powerful right?"
"Che.. If you don't leave right now you'll die brat." Akeenu told Lumnus and continue to unleash his claws in a rampage. He have to make it quick or all of them will die.
Who was this Eliazard that Akeenu is talking about? According to his memories, Eliazard is the most powerful of all Demon Lords and not a part of the non aggression pact of thirteen. But all of that are impossible to conclude in his appearance. It's faaaaar from what he looks.
As Lumnus take the center stage to have the privilege of explaining since Akeenu is busy at the moment. The author seems having a mental block that he don't know what to actually write.
// oh God they are being out of character... Hi! I'm the author!
The demon who have appeared have a slickback red hair with streaks of black. His height 185 centimeters that ousted Lumnus bigtime. He also have a slender body with no signs of firm muscles. He is most likely is a child! He is not oozing with magical energy as well. Compared to Akeenu, he is nothing but a child. But the reality is so fucked up that Lumnus can't really absorb everything.
Boogsh!
Among the blasted walls, there is Eliazard with his infamous grin. He is flying in the air with his red dragon wings. In a couple of seconds, a pure light accumulated in his mouth that aimed to Akeenu. It blasted towards them and luckily Akeenu have dodge it perfectly.
"You smugged face slit eyes lizard! How dare you backed down from our promises?!" Lyvia, being completely free from her restraint, regained her energetic personality. It made Akeenu sighed in relief.
'At least she is already safe.' Akeenu thought but their situation is far from being safe with Eliazard playing with them like a disposable toys. Eliazard laughs and throws rays of pure mana lights to them. It left holes to the castle that almost ruining the beautifully made structure. Akeenu turned to Lyvia and squeezes her shoulders.
"Look, you need to get out of here. This is getting-----"
"OF COURSE IT IS!! That is why I'm staying here."
"LYVIA MAURREY NOIR BEELMON! I'M NOT ASKING!!-----"
"AND ALSO AM I!!! BROTHER! I WON'T HIDE AWAY KNOWING THAT YOU WILL DIE!! I.... I... HUK.... I DON'T WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE... "
Lyvia burst out into tears again that made Akeenu sigh. It really pains him that Lyvia is being stubborn right now but he could not abandon the fact that if she will not escape, both of them will die and that is what he doesn't want to happen. When he was about to pull glutton out, his peripheral vision suddenly caught Lumnus. He then tossed Lyvia that is in his arms to Lumnus with a piercing eyes that is saying 'If you did not catch her I'll kill you!' Lumnus then readied himself and swallows the many lumps in his throat. Sweats also found themselves rolling down his face and so with his full pack determination to catch Lyvia, he successfully made it. Her arms wrapped around his neck and now that he can see her face close, he is really beautiful that made him blush.
"If you don't protect her with all you've got, I'll kill you twat! Be mindful of that!" Akeenu said with a commanding tone. Lumnus rapidly nods his head continuously while Lyvia face palmed her face.
"How lonely~ no one is paying attention to me... Oh! Then.... I just make you guys pay me attention through force! "
A grin almost sent Lumnus to death painted Eliazard's handsome face. His eyes that trickles gold are being mixed with red streaks. 'It is almost like familiar' That's what Akeenu thinks. After the declaration of such disaster, a barrage of pure light rays have been shot to Akeenu without fail. In almost a jiff of a moment, he summoned glutton out of its slumber and pounce all the pure light that is aimed at him. Conssidering that he is close to where Lumnus and Lyvia, he could see Lumnus unsheathed his swords and did his best to repel the scattered rays left from Akeenu's counters.
'How rare to see dual wielder on action and a holy knight on top of that. ' Akeenu thought that made Eliazard annoys for not being given the attention he wants. He vanished in Lumnus sight but barely seen by Akeenu and Lyvia. Sweats profusely run down from Akeenu's face. If he didn't move what could have happened to his right arm?
Blaaag.
As if Eliazard have a brake in his feet, he stop beside Akeenu and launches another blow of punch. The ringing entered Akeenu's ear that made a deafening sound that almost took Akeenu's sense of hearing. He changed glutton to two short swords with a curved blade and quickly lowered his torso and move behind Eliazard to throw quick slashes at his back, as if giving the fellow Demon Lord a hair cut. A mere blow with massive power will not rob him his wrath and that made Eliazard grin even more. The feeling of wanting this massive determination and anger, he wants it for himself. This strong feeling of saving his loveones and comrades, he wants it all for himself. He wants everything Akeenu have and if only he could have successfully erased Akeenu in the sole of this world, Eliazard have obtained it completely. A sliver thread of saliva visibly shown in Eliazard's mouth, he just laugh from this massive excitement he have to finally settle the score of killing Akeenu that is set already in stones.
"KUAHAHAHAHA! COME! COME AT ME OH AKEENU!! GIVE ME A PLEASING PERFORMANCE TODAY KUHUHUHUAAHAHA." Eliazard can't contain the joy that is bursting inside him, reflexively his hands covered his cynical murderous face that brewing millions of ways on how he will going to deal with Akeenu's death.
