Chapter 10 - The End is Inevitable

Chaos has been the second name of Akeenu for being caught up with it almost everyday. He found them very annoying that he wants to wipe away all the annoying bastards that have been pestering him the whole time, but that is not easy to achieve because as he wants to defeat them all, the more than the reality could punch him too. The cruelest truth.

Eliazard tried to grab the wrist of Akeenu but failed to his attempt. With a twist of his body to the right, he maneuvered his shortsword to make a powerful slash to Eliazard's face whichhe have succeeded, marvelously. But to Eliazard's, it is a joy of having someone that might danger his life, finally. Afterall, it has been a long time that someone made a cut to his face. He pants in excitement and stifled Akeenu's foot.

Akeenu landed to his back which a great opportunity to Eliazard to constrain him. He put is foot on his chest and leaned forward to look him in the eye. Madness is painted in Eliazard's face which makes Akeenu gulp. Not because he is scared but pity. After for about a long time being alone, seeking destruction and chaos, he alone can't take the loneliness of having no one to talk to about what you truly feels and turned you to this horrible kind of a person.

"What now Akeenu? Am I bit beyond your reach?" Mockery is evident to Eliazard's tone unlike to the silent treatment Akeenu has been casting to Eliazard. He couldn't find the words to answer like the old him who loves to cut off people are nowhere beyond him now.

If only he could still have the energy to fight this monster he would definitely retort back to all of his sarcasm. But no, he is tired and his heart is pounding so loud he barely hear Lyvia's sob. He wish Enri will initiate the emergency mode and replace him from all this shits that has been happening but, to his luck Enri is no where to be found. From the start of all this charade he could not sense even a bit of it's presence. As he was lost for thoughts, Eliazard took out his long sword 'Rapier'. It was a spur of moment that froze him on the spot. He couldn't bring his hands to block the coming longsword that about to pierce his heart and that made Lyvia step up.

"Deities that have abandoned us, answer the plea of your master. Serve as a sword to me and cut the enemy who bring harm to your Lord!" The air whirl violently while the lights from the torches ignited wildly, the crumbs and debris scattered quakes and the moist that surrounds them are morphing together. Once they have gathered together, they changes direction into one... to Eliazard. It was then Akeenu struggled under Eliazard's feet. Lyvia is in great danger!! But as if he predicted the future, Eliazard wave his sword and white lights gathered, straight, directly from the sun. It swirls and dances in every move Eliazard do with his sword and like almost all of it was just done in a blink of an eye. In a single blink, the ray of light directed to where Lyvia is and all the elements that gathered and locked on Eliazard has been engulfed by the light. Like a black hole, it sucks everything and not only that, the speed of it never decreases like the elements are not its target.

"LY----"

Blag.

The light ray penetrated Lumnus's head as he tried to repel the light rays but the rays that have not weakened by glutton is strong enough to penetrate everything and that's what the naught of Lumnus is. His body dropped on the ground with his face painting a sorry expression that is telling Akeenu that he was sorry to failed in protecting his sister and that's when the horror that Akeenu has been avoiding, shown into his eyes full. After Lumnus's body dropped on the ground, Lyvia's visage come to light. Her smiling face that have been warming Akeenu up are being mixed with her tears of sorrow for the despair face her brother is showing. Her body glowed as the cloth covering her chest revealed a tiny hole being tainted with red. It was scattering in an alarming rate that soaking the cloth wet. As if the blood has it own mind, it gathered together and dances in a gloom tone, singing sorrows of the death of their master. Akeenu was silently watching everything. He failed the one person he was so bold to protect.

"Oho...Pity. Thought she could block that from all that shits she've done. Not bad. Not bad. She have served her purpose of amusing me, too bad it's just for a short time." With a shrug Eliazard take his gaze back and turn his body to Akeenu's direction.

It was cold. No. It's icy and murderous frosting you from your place. Eliazard, once more, have experience a new feeling risen up from his very heart. It was inexplicably fearing like Lucifer himself, the Greatest Demon King of the Underworld is staring at him with such pressure. At his back he once were looking at, the blood that completely have morphed together making another inage of a little girl walking its way to Akeenu.

'Why? ' The sole word Akeenu could think of. His mind was being flooded by guilt and conscience of not protecting his sister. His blazing emotion made his magical energy rampaging without restrains. It blasted out of Akeenu's body that made Eliazard jumped for a block or two. His blank expression is scarier than his madden gaze. He got up to his feet and dead eyed look at Eliazard's way. It seems so slow like the time itself wants to run himself from all this happenings. Akeenu dashed to Eliazard and clash swords with him. Glutton is constantly changing its form. Shortsword, dagger, long sword, broadsword, buster, whip or scythe, it was constantly changing in every attack Akeenu has been releasing. In every attack, his anger has been mixed with it and its magical energy that have been freed from its leash. Eliazard on the other hand, has been splendidly blocking all the attempts and was readying himself to give him a counter. a ball of light shrink into a marble and being thrown to Akeenu. It grazes his face and blood slowly flow down from it. But that didn't slowed down Akeenu, instead, he went even more violent. He swing glutton without a care of any techniques or arts. Everything was irrelevant to him. His mind is being clogged up to think rationally. It was then Eliazard have found the opportunity to cut his arms with his sword and shoot it with his ray with light. He then imbued his sword with a light element magic which is taboo with him being a demon. But as all you can think of, everything can happened to every stories and him being a demon has a different story too. Having a significant affiliation to any elements have nothing to do if you are a part of the Holy Angels or a warrior of the Dark vicious Demons. It just so happens both side can wield this kind of magic as long as you have a strong connection to this elements and so Eliazard's turn to attack have come. He then slices Akeenu's leg that made him kneel. He tried to slice the other but Akeenu is holding his defenses well. Even if glutton is sucking Eliazard's mana, it seems endless and Eliazard himself doesn't mind it.

"I never thought just the death of your sister will make you defected this much. I feel sorry for her affection to go down the drain. It was really such a shame to be showered for such emotion that's why let me give you the opportunity to die in my hands!" In his hands two marble of light dances and being releases, it hit the walls and gradually increases speed. It bounces and the agility increases like it's giving him boost. Akeenu who have been kneeling infront of Eliazard was being pierce pathetically with the light marble. Everytime it closes to Akeenu and glutton it decreases speed but eventually got back when it reaches something to bounce over again to Akeenu. It was to watch Akeenu having nothing to do to defend himself. Seeing his eyes lost all the sense to fight back, Eliazard sheathe his longsword back and smiled very wide. The play time is over, he got what he wanted but he still feels empty. Like there is something that still lacking from his heart. Akeenu who's limbs are missing almost everything and in a miserable state are staring in nowhere. That's where the girl made of blood caught his eyes. The blood seems looking at him too. There was a familiar feeling that he could not identify but somehow it is comforting. It embraces him and easing all the tiredness, the pain, the sorrow and despair that has been engulfing him and a certain feeling emerges from him, that time in his dream.

It still coming his way and Eliazard didn't mind. He prepared to make his leave and left all the scattered mess to the town that almost have been wiped away from their fight. He could not care less since he just made it for his underlings to breed and be stronger. It served its purposes so he will just take his leave like nothing happened.

On Akeenu's side, the girl made of blood have finally reaches Akeenu that can't even move. His breathing are reaching to its end and all his energy dissipated in nothingness. He seems quite comforted by the thought that he could finally hug Lyvia and live with her forever now, he just need to close his eyes and breathe the last breath. As he open and closes his eyes, he could see the reaching arms of the girl, he smiled as he is being showered from comfort coming from the girl. He then wishes that he could live somewhere with everyone because for once in his life, he found a caring family in Akeenu's life. His reincarnation is a miracles to his hopeless self and if he could have given the chance he would do everything to protect what's important to him without fail. His heart stopped beating and a tear fell from his closing eyes, he then about to succumb to death when he heard a voice.

"Enrietta. "
