Chapter 12 - The War Begins

Kurai dashed to the Dark Lords and was blown back by Irea's aura. He looked at her and glared. Irea walked up and lightning surged around her powerfully.

"Everyone else...deal with Urias and Yllesa...it's time we drove these fools out the Realm.." Irea summoned a lightning sword.

"Right! This is for Misa!" Emma bellowed and dashed to Urias and slashed her battle-axe at him. Urias dodged the attack, but just barely.

"Heh...Kurai..if we win we are blowing up this Realm aren't we?" Urias asked.

"Of course..but first we are taking Misa with us.." Kurai looked at Irea.

"You aren't taking anyone.." Irea said then dashed to Kurai and slashed.

Kurai dodged and was shocked when the clone vanished and Irea struck him from above. Irea grabbed his face and dragged him along the ground and threw him. Kurai crashed through multiple trees and Irea vanished, following him.

"Irea scares me when she is serious.." Emma smiled. "Now I'm getting fired up!" Emma's aura turned red, signalling she's in rage mode.

"Yllesa!" Urias said then looked at Yllesa. She looked dead on the inside. "Yllesa!" Urias pushed her and blocked the attack from Floria.

"My sister...is dead..." Yllesa laid on the ground and her eyes were drained of all life. "Kazumi..."

"Now isn't the time to feel sorry! We are battling for the sake of the Phantom Realm!" Urias said.

"Screw the Phantom Realm...and that dumb God..." Yllesa slowly stood up. "Her life force isn't sensible anymore...she's dead..." Yllesa looked at the sky. "That God took her away...and as an answer..." Yllesa looked at the Dark Lords. "Corrupt me...use me...I have nothing else to live for..."

"This might be a trap!" Floria said.

"I never had any intention of hurting Misa." Yllesa said. "Truthfully, I was going to return her to my sister...now she's gone...Now I have to repent for my sin-" She felt a finger on her lip.

"We hear your plea.." Viper hissed and smiled. "Do you promise full loyalty to the Dark Lords?"

"I do...Use me however you see fit.." Yllesa said.

"Yllesa!" Urias yelled.

"Then help us kill Urias.." Viper placed a choker on Yllesa's neck. "You belong to us now.."

Yllesa's skin turned into an light blue and her eyes slowly turned red. Her hair turned into a pure white color and her blade glowed blue. Yllesa was turned into a Corrupted Hero. Yllesa exhaled and a puff of smoke came from her mouth. She looked at Viper and turned to Urias and a single black wings appeared on her left side.

"Y-Yllesa..You..." Urias was in disbelief.

"You can join us also..." Viper smiled evilly.

"I will never join you!" Urias dashed to them and was blocked by Yllesa. "Wake up Yllesa!"

"Kill...I must...kill...heroes.." Her aura appeared and she pushed Urias back and kicked him away.

Emma dashed to Urias and laughed then jumped in the air. Viper twirled her wand and pointed it at Urias and trapped him in a heart capsule then Emma slashed down and caused Urias to crash into the ground. Floria was charging up a massive Earth spell.

"Yllesa!" Emma jumped in the air.

"Frost Arts: Berserk Blizzard..!" Yllesa said and a huge blizzard storm was sent at Urias.

Urias yelled at he was frozen. Floria finished charging her spell and she walked to Urias. Her eyes glowed blue and she had the most sinister smile on her face.

"I'm sorry I have to do this..hopefully you learn your place in the afterlife.." Floria looked at him. "Harvest!" She jabbed her hand through Urias's chest and drained his aura and her pupils turned into hearts.

"Floria is enjoying herself too much..too bad Urias wasn't much of a threat..then again Misa totalled this guy..." Viper said.

"Yeah we barely did anything!" Emma stomped her foot on the ground continuously.

"We should help Irea then.." Viper said. As she said that a huge explosion sounded on the right side of the forest.

"You're as powerful as all the legends say...Too bad you're not even a challenge for me...this is only my Awakened State..!" Kurai said and chuckled.

Irea was silent and watched his movements. He was fast and Irea stood in one place as he ran circles around her in blinding speeds. He then went for a strike and Irea blocked the attack.

"I have a question...35 years ago..you were just a boy...why do you want us dead? Why do you dread us so much..? Luca just wanted peace between Humans and Dark Lords..he ended a war..and you all started one again..why? Is it because you mortals love to see people suffer? You love to see everyone in pain..? Tell me why.." Irea said.

"Because you all are the reason we suffer everyday...you all are the reason why us mortals live short lives! You all are the reason each and everyone in the Realms have to fight to survive..as Luca sat on his throne he didn't care about anyone else but himself!" Kurai said.

"That's where you're wrong!" Irea yelled and her aura surged. "Upon killing that last hero during that war, he felt bad! He felt regret! Innocent lives had to be sacrificed for his own safety! You all attacked him because he was different! He didn't want to fight, he didn't want to kill!" Irea started to cry. "He just wanted to live his life! Even when he was still in the Human Realm, he was already dying and being hunted by the Heavenly Host! He was running out Mana already, sitting on his Death Bed. Within those 120 days..he married a Human, He worked with a Famous Hero named Luna, a Demon Hunter who was killed by your own people! He saved a Queen from her deathbed! Luca was a hero for his people and yours! And you still killed him! You know why he targeted the Phantom Realm?! The Phantom God, took his wife, his child, his best friends, his secretary, everything! In a frantic manner, he went to the Phantom Realm to get his life back...those last 40 days of his life... those last moments..he never got to hold his child..he never got to kiss his wife...say goodbye to his friends..and you call yourself heroes...Go ahead..keep calling yourself heroes! But the truth is there!" Irea said.

Kurai chuckled and started to laugh. He laughed like a maniac. Irea was even more pissed off by this manner. Kurai looked at Irea.

"You think we care about any of that? We are the heroes..we are the people who save worlds from people like you who destroy them out of rage! We are the ones who stop evil..you are just an example for us to use for reference to all the villains who dare to attack." Kurai got in a stance. "Come Irea! Show me how much you wish to protect this Realm of Lies! Show me that conviction!"

Irea growled and her eyes flashed white and the lightning around her crackled more powerfully. She dashed to Kurai and they clashed and they entered a fierce hand to hand combat. Irea kicked Kurai back and pointed and the lightning spikes surged to Kurai. Kurai used his aura in the same manner and their auras clashed. Kurai laughed and vanished and appeared in front of Irea and punched her away and summoned a small ball of aura above Irea.

"Atomic Blas-" Kurai was interrupted and rolled on his back. The ball of aura vanished.

"Misa you're not healed up! You have to get some rest!" Elizabeth said.

"No! The Phantom Realm will pay! They took away my mother! My godmother! They lied to everyone! Even took away Luca's family, friends and his life! If anyone is the true enemy it's The Phantom Realm! I will do what Luca couldn't...Destroy the Phantom Realm! Save every innocent there! It's my calling..if I am the key of the Phantom Realm...I make the final decision..and my final decision is to destroy the Phantom Realm!" Misa said.

"Finally found you Dark Lord!" Yuto bellowed and slashed down.

"Tch..." Misa summoned her sword and blocked the attack. "Yuto..."

"I knew it wasn't long before you target your own home..! You are a resident of Yseko! You will die as one!" Yuto yelled.

"Yseko?! That place is dead to me! It's no longer my home!" Misa's aura pushed Yuto away.

"You..." Yuto growled.

"This is my home now...me and my Dark Lord sisters...I am no longer a hero...I am not even the villain! I am a Dark Lord! Nothing more, nothing less!" Misa looked at Yuto.

"Misa!" Akichi ran up her and held her shoulders. "Misa.." she hugged Misa and tears flowed.

"Akichi..why are you here..you should be with Tsuki.." Misa said.

"I had to find you before those two did..I don't want you to come back to the Phantom Realm to stay..I also want you and the other Dark Lords to destroy it!" Akichi said.

Lilith, Rebecca, and Tania walked up and looked at Misa. A fourth person also appeared in a vortex of water and the clamshell opened up and there was a woman sitting on the inside. Misa looked back and saw Marielle.

Marielle had blue hair and red eyes. She carried a Trident and wore a sea crown. She was a mermaid, but mainly a Goddess of the Sea.

"Well well...Goddess of the Abyssal Sea... Marielle." Kurai said. He wiped his lip and chuckled. "I'm out numbered and I used too much aura...But this is only the beginning...if you truly want to destroy the Phantom Realm..then meet me in the final world of the Phantom Realm, Xthalis. There will await me and the Phantom God himself." He made a portal and walked into it and the portal stayed open for Yuto.

"I will be in the 15th World of the Phantom Realm, Uitelis..Misa...I want to battle you one on one..to the death.." Yuto walked in the portal and the portal closed.

"Misa...I can't fight anymore like I want to..my aura is smaller in power compared to them..but I want to give you this..." Akichi gave Misa her necklace. She smiled and looked at Misa's horns and rubbed her head. "I will never abandon you..no matter the occasion..."

"Mistress Akichi..the portal is ready for you to go home.." Liliana said.

"Okay.." Akichi nodded. She looked at Misa and kissed her forehead then walked to the portal and went inside. The portal closed as she entered.

"Irea.." Misa looked at her.

"We saved the Human Realm...but now we must venture into the Phantom Realm..there are 115 Worlds in the Phantom Realm that have been discovered and 25 worlds that haven't been discovered with Xthalis being one of those 25..have you been to Xthalis?" Irea asked.

"I was born on the first world, Titanis...and that is the first world to be destroyed..but I want to save the innocent people. So let's bring the Innocents to either the Human Realm, Spirit Realm, Underworld, or the Sacred Realm..no heroes will be left alive unless they wish to side with us." Misa said.

"As you wish." Irea said.
