" KILL ALL HUMAN "
The voice is getting deeper and bigger, it's not Emma's voice anymore.
Marbas tried to face those strong radiation, to save her. He implanted solar flare in the ground to maintain his balance. He can see her now stuck in a dark orb of Aether.
He grabbed her hand with pain, Aether is burning his flesh yet he never gave up.
" AAAAAAA "
With a great labor, he managed to pull her off. Suddenly he took a brief punch in his face that made him fly away destroying the motel's wall.
Terric saw his favorite hero incapable of beating Emma. He is now doomed under the wreckage of the wall.
A strange creature jumped in front of everyone which caused the floor to tremble in fear, the atmosphere changed.
Terric's knees fell on the ground, he lowered his head, he lost hope and got ready to face his fate. Who can stop this ? He couldn't see clearly the monster, only the dark aura surrounding his shape.
An old man interfered :
" Move away kid ! "
°° Is he serious ? °° Terric didn't know why such an old man is facing a deadly monster.
The old man suddenly drew a lightning sword from nowhere. it had something inscribed in it, it was glowing :
' φιλότιμο '
The old man's presence changed :
☆ VOLTA !! RISE ABOVE THE SKY AND SHINE UPON YOUR ENEMIES, LIGHTNING SLAH !!! ☆
A lightning came out from the sky and stroke the demon which caused an explosion. The Aether orb disappeared.
" Yess he did it !! " the village's residents jumped from joy. Terric approached to check on the old man yet he found him exhausted and trembling.
" My body can't endure the Auroeal anymore. Not like my younger days. I feel pain in my chest. "
The old man was indeed in pain and Terric could hear thunder from his throat. Suddenly they heared laughter behind the smoke, it stroke terror for a second time in everyone's heart. A massive body was approaching, it has two horns.
" DO YOU THINK THIS WEAK ATTACK CAN HARM THE ALMIGHTY RAKHAM ? "
They couldn't understand demon's language but it was obvious that the demon was mocking them.
" Everyone run ! "
The old man asked everyone to escape however Terric didn't want to leave the old man alone. He was too weak to fight.
The old man never gave up, he stood once again.
" BY MY HONOR AS A KNIGHT I WILL NEVER- "
The old man was shoved by a punch from Rakham. His bones were broken, his blood was spreading on the ground like a small red river.
Terric wanted to face the demon, he though that maybe Emma could hear him :
" Emma, I know you can hear me ! You are hurting innocent people. I know your pain trust me. "
Rakham stood still
" Marbas , yes ! You hurt Marbas ! "
The demon stopped.
" Marbas ? "
Terric was sure that Emma is still there. He approached her more. Unfortunately the demon took over her and threw a punch on the kid.
Terric will die this time, he closed his eyes. Why is the punch taking so long ? He opened his eyes and saw the lightning sword blocking Rakham's attack. It was the old man !!
Blood stains covering his eyes, his limbs were broken.
The demon became annoyed from this old man and landed multiple attacks on him, the old man still never gave up and stood again. Rakham began charging a powerful beam.
1,2,
The old man won't be able to counter this. He will die this time for sure.
3 !!! And before Rakham launched his beam the old man heared a young man's voice :
" You sure are stubborn old man ! "
A red Phoenix appeared from nowhere illuminating the scene . The light was so strong. Terric couldn't see clearly yet he recognized this black coat, it was Marbas's. He is still alive.
" Lord Marbas !! Shall I destroy our opponent ? "
Marbas spoke :
" Hnal he cnsc oepg mii dev ! "
The demon was provoked by Marbas's words and became enraged.
" GHAAAAAAAAAAA "
The sound was so powerful.
☆ Solar flare ! attack ! PYROMANCY !! ☆
Rakham flesh burned
☆ Solar flare ! Once again burn him with PYROMANCY !! ☆
" AAAAAH IT BURNS !!! "
Rakham was screaming with agony.
" Leave the girl's body or I will grill you both ! "
Rakham didn't want to give up. It was his only chance to take control on Emma's body as her emotions became too intense after kissing Marbas last night.
☆ Solar flare : Burn him 50 times ! PYROMANCY ☆
" Big brother stop ! You will damage Aerith's body like that "
Marbas turned slowly to him, his facial expressions changed, they were so terrifying and evil, it wasn't the usual Marbas . It was his blood lust.
" I told you to not call me that ! "
Rakham is going through hell, he couldn't take it anymore so he finally vanished. The dark aura disappeared for good and Emma's naked body appeared with burn marks. She fainted.
Marbas lifted her body and asked for the closest church so they can hospitalize her but before they can leave he sensed a serious killing intent. He sensed a murderer's aura.
" This birthmark and those green eyes. I can never forget them. You are the kingslayer without mistaking !! "
Typical cold Marbas remained calm and shown no reaction. He continued his way and didn't care about the old man. Suddenly a giant lightning golem appeared, he had a massive staff and long hair. It was his Auroeal awakening !
" You are an enemy of the nation. I should kill you right now when I still have the chance ! "
Terric shocked from the old man's saying :
" Old man you can no longer fight. Please stop it ! Marbas he tried to save me don't kill him for god's sake please ! "
Marbas's face turned serious for the first time, his eyes became wide and his pupils dilated.
" Kid grab Emma and go to the nearest church ! "
" But Big bro he saved- "
Marbas shouted angrily at him :
" I TOLD YOU TO TAKE EMMA TO THE CHURCH !! DON'T FUCKING MAKE ME SAY IT ONCE AGAIN ! "
☆ Solar flare ☆
Terric grabbed Emma and went on his way leaving two giant Aether beasts fighting. On his way he heared the sound of a death blow. Marbas did it ! His guardian angel just killed an honorable man.
Marbas stabbed the old man with his dagger. The old man was vomiting blood yet smiling, he had his dream finally realized. Marbas knew that he from the beginning wanted to die an honorable death, died protecting his country.
Marbas pressed his hand, he knew that those sacrifices were meaningless, it was all for a corrupted system. A system where the brave and the strong face death to protect a coward noblemen who can't even rise a sword.
" The king slayer is indeed you. The famous kingslayer ! The one who turned Nuabya's hierarchy upside down. To know that this person was always in front me, to know that that person is exactly the same who let Berthold die."
Marbas just heared a familiar voice that he used to hate.....
