Kishan knew perfectly well about the story of the four horsemen of the apocalypse...they weren't merciful. he was not sure as to how he knew that it was one of them that had entered his realm...but one thing he was sure of was that he had angered them in some way. he was already trying to think of how to deal with the issue.
that was when he felt the pressure from Marv's pitch-black eyes. he had been looking at them for the past six minutes unknowingly. Marv was silent as he examined Kishan.
Marv was now slinging the crimson scythe behind his back with the blade deep in the snow. Marv was still silent as he gazed at Kishan. even though Marv was strong...in all honesty, he didn't have enough strength to kill Kishan and his skill was running out of time. he wasn't really thinking but just plainly slicing everything yet his common sense managed to break through before he tried to fight Kishan.
as Marv was he couldn't kill Kishan but at least he could damage Kishan to a certain extent. the two continued to stare at each other before something unprecedented happened.
a loud exasperated voice could suddenly be heard in the forest.
"yo, Marv! where the heck are you...Masha told me that you and Alyssa suddenly disappeared...tell me where the heck are you..."
it was Finn.
********
Finn ran his fingers through his hair as he sighed subtly. he had followed Masha's directions only to find himself suddenly in a forest. although it was small Finn managed to sense Alyssa's presence for a bit before it suddenly disappeared once more.
Finn was surprised and wasn't sure what he should do. but he decided to head into a random direction. he yelled Marv's and Alyssa's names every so often. he could sense the presence of the advanced-tier spirits around him but ignored them. he wouldn't cause unnecessary fights unless directly involved. he continued his trek heading closer to a strange presence he had never sensed before.
Marv looked away from Kishan to look towards the direction that Finn was coming from. suddenly Marv's ash grey hair and pitch-black eyes turned back into his usual self. his crimson scythe lost its shape and turned back into the blood as it seeped into the snow once more. Marv had regained all his composure and self. even though he knew that Kishan was not too far he ran towards Finn's location. Kishan was stunned by Marv's sudden change before realising that he had seen that human before.
Finn was slowly getting tired of this search and was wondering whether he should just use his system to try to find them but then realized that they probably didn't have systems themselves. he continued his walk through the snowy forest before he could hear panting from his left. he instinctively held his hands to his waist. he then realized what he was doing before he sighed subtly...
he looked back to his left to see Marv coming out from behind a tree with a tired look on his face. Finn was surprised for a bit before asking what had happened...that was when he saw the bloodstains on Marv's right hand. he acted more cautiously by keeping a small distance from the tired Marv before asking the question again.
"Alyssa...is dead. she...she was killed by some kind of ice spirit...even now there's an ice devil coming!"
Marv tried to make sense as he explained his situation as simply as he could. he didn't mention anything about his system. Finn thankfully managed to understand Marv's speech, he first apologised to Marv for his loss and asked where the ice devil currently was.
Marv pointed in the direction he had come from. Finn then asked if there was anything specific about the ice devil that Marv could describe for him. however, at this moment Kishan suddenly appeared behind Marv with his frosty tail high above his head.
Marv managed to jump out of the way of the tail as it struck the snow. Kishan was slightly irritated that it had missed but then noticed Finn for the first time.
"oh...so there's another one..."
he had a hint of sarcasm in his chilly voice as he stomped his right foot down. the ground shook a bit, as the snow stopped falling from the sky for just a few moments. Finn was caught unprepared as Kishan had already moved, he was actually running circles around Finn and Marv at an extremely high speed.
Finn could sense Kishan circling them and just had a slight look of agitation on his face. Finn was actually capable of killing Kishan if he used his true power...it was just the repercussions on his body were too grave. then there was also the fact that Marv was around and he wanted to continue the farce of just being a weak carriage driver.
Finn then made his decision, grave as it was it would be best to save their lives.
it was at this moment Finn looked at Kishan who was still running circles around them. although they weren't too visible, Finn had little golden flames burning within his dark pupils. he had already started to cast his skills.
Marv had gotten up from the ground and was standing closer to Finn. he too managed to see Kishan running circles around them. he was surprised with how calm Finn managed to be but then focused back on his own survival. he wasn't too sure of what to do and Kishan could strike at any moment.
he then thought of something but realized he probably didn't have enough time to do it. he just kept his hands close to his chest and hoped his armour could stand a hit. that was when his system notified him of something strange...
[system detected order fluctuations]
[can't use order fluctuations]
[configuration cancelled]
Marv was slightly stunned before he felt something strange to his side. he looked to see Finn who was now surrounded by a large golden flame that wasn't burning him in the slightest. Finn then spoke in an extremely deep voice that surprised Marv.
