Narrator's POV:
"Tigreal.... By the moment you arrive back at the Empire, make sure to give my weapon to my son, Alucard."
- Zemislav said fearlessly and start storing up some unknown force.
*Tigreal's wondering*
"Give my weapon, when the right moment comes."
- Zemislav said as he is now brimming with power.
Tigreal's confused as despair have dominated his consciousness and could not think straight due to the devastating tragedy that befalls in his eyes.
"Wha...? I... I don't understand mentor... I... I...-!?"
- Tigreal ask in a confused mind.
Tigreal asks him what's going on, while he holds Zemislav's sword with him. But it seems Zemislav failed to hear Tigreal's unimportant question or, he just tend to ignore Tigreal's plead.
*footsteps*
*all wondered*
"Move 100 meters, in Southwest. Starting from here, our location, down to the goal. With each and everyone's average running speed despite the exertion, the timing of the Portal's reappearance will surely at your favor. I guarantee you that."
- Zemislav said as he start storing up his power.
"Alright! Noted Zemi..."
- Margarette replies.
"Now, all of you, move your feet as time is ticking like a bomb!"
- Zemislav commands.
Margarette starts helping Tigreal to get on his knees as the rest are starting to move.
*running*
Margarette is about to move but she noticed that Zemislav didn't budge on his position. She then ask him.
"Zemi... why aren't you... moving?"
- Margarette ask with a slight doubt.
*Zemislav's storing his power and ignores Margarette*
"Didn't... didn't you say that there's no time to lose? Come on! We gotta move now!"
- Margarette persistently tells him while doubt is shrouding her thoughts.
Margarette starts to get worried of her husband. Her thoughts are now in chaos as she keeps on thinking something which she fears the most.
She's in a chaotic mind state, and she's now in a verge of despair but suddenly....
"Margarette... Listen to me."
- Zemislav said while not confronting her.
"Even though we run to what I have instructed, there's still no chance of survival as those demons will charge madly and with our current state, they can outmatch our speed that'll soon be be our demise."
- Zemislav said.
*Margarette started to get worried*
"So... Are you meaning to say that-"
- Margarette said with a trembling tone of her voice.
*Zemislav looks at her, and give her a gentle smile he could give*
*Margarette gasps*
"I... need to stay behind... It's... my only way to return the favor of protecting me earlier."
- Zemislav said as heart-warming as possible.
*Margarette burst to tears*
"No... No! You can't be serious! We need to move now! Before the portal appears Zemi! C'mon-!!?"
- Margarette persistently begs.
Zemislav smiles at her. He stepped the ground and a humongous, light based magical circle appears which covers more than 250 meters radius, which makes 500 diameter all in all.
"Wait... Don't tell me that this is-!?"
- Margarette ask in surprise.
"By the moment you all securely entered the portal, this power of mine will automatically triggers itself and wipes most of the Demons' horde."
- Zemislav said.
*Margarette's trembling*
"Dispelling my power could cost my life. So please... Go and aid Sir Tigreal back to the Empire."
- Zemislav smiles as he reassures her.
. . .
*drip* *drop*
When Zemislav finishes his sentence, Margarette starts to bawl as she felt hopeless and couldn't do anything for her husband.
The magical process of Zemislav's destructive power is on-going. As Margarette cries, the Magical Circle of the ground duplicate itself and levitates skyhigh.
The demons were driven into fear since they all witness such feat. But Alice steps in and yells to her horde.
"You COWARDLY FOOLS! Don't LET THEM GET AWAY! SLAUGHTER THEM!"
- Alice exclaims.
The demons hesitated for a moment but soon they heed their Queen's orders and madly charges at them.
*mad charging*
While most of Zemislav's men are going to what he have instructed, Zemislav faces the demons with fiercest stare as he can.
He raises his hand upfront then a great number of light based swords that materializes in his magic started to fire at the demon horde.
*firing of light based swords*
*great explosions*
*Bam!* Bam!*
Even though Zemislav's magic causes great impact towards the horde, there are still bunch of demon forces manage to pass through his spell.
He changes the course of his aim but suddenly...
*COUGH!* *COUGH!*
*SPLAT!*
The magic he casted and the destructive spell who is in a verge of triggering were causing him great toll that he vomits lots of blood than he used to be.
*wheeze!* *wheeze*
Unlike before.
*dispelling of the magic casted but not the destructive ones*
*eerie humongous sounds creaking in a low tone*
Zemislav fell on his knees, all wheezing and exhausted. He is wheezing so hard and coughing lots of blood. It seems he is clueless that the upcoming forces of demons are heading on his way.
*bloods are flowing on his eyes as he tries to look at the upcoming horde*
"Sh*t..."
- Zemislav cusses on his thoughts.
Demons are closing in towards Zemislav but he couldn't do much as he was trying to catch some air for himself.
When a demon's about to strike him....
*metallic CLANG!*
*gasp*
"Hey? You looked kinda messed up. Heh!"
- Terence mocks.
"Sir Terence... *wheeze*... What are you doing here??!"
- Zemislav asks in surprise.
"What am I doing here??? *Pft!* What nonsense! It's obvious you s*n of a b*tch!"
- Terence said while preparing his pace.
*wheezing*
*demons' charging madly*
"We're here to protect our leader, till our last breath!"
- Terence said seriously.
. . .
" 'We're?' Wait, you're not the-!?"
- Zemislav said in surprise.
*running footsteps*
"An Eye for an eye....!"
- a deepen, male voice said.
*sword preparing pace*
. . .
Barry's emerald-like colored eyes glow and he dashes towards the mass number of demons charging towards Zemislav's position.
"Coerulea Finale: Death Chanter's Symphony...!"
- Barry casted.
*Slash!* *slash!*
*splat*
*demons' groan*
. . .
"Sir.... Barry..."
- Zemislav said in shock.
*ka-clack!*
"Sir Zemislav, allow me to protect you."
- Barry said.
"WHY-!?"
- Zemislav said in disbelief as he clenches his fist.
"*tch!* You f*ck*n' b*st*rt, looking so bold and mighty.."
- Terence grumps.
*scratching scalp*
"I... I'm so sorry if you feel that way, Sir Terence. I deeply apologize."
- Barry apologizes as he's preparing his battle pace.
"Why....? Why are you here?? YOU SHOULD'VE-!?"
- Zemislav said in disbelief with a mixture of shock.
*giant demons are approaching fast*
*gasps*
While Zemislav's in a state of fazed, some folks jumped in and enter the scene.
"Claymore of the Earthen Golem!"
- a man with claymore yells.
When the magic was casted, a knight's claymore transforms into something gigantic and SLAM to the ground, creating a great IMPACT!
*crumbling sounds*
The gigantic claymore wipes lots of demon pursuers but it didn't stopped the others from dashing through the claymore and head towards the caster.
*demons' yelling*
. . .
But they're not aware that there's someone covering the claymore user, Axel.
"Rapid Fire!"
- Heldrick casted.
When Heldrick initiated his attack, he fires his arrow towards the skies, it multiplied and fires to the demon pursuers.
*firing*
*pierce*
. . .
"Hey, thanks for covering me man!"
- Axel said with relief.
"Ahahaha! No problem bro."
- Heldrick replies with a smug.
When they finished their said attack, Axel's claymore reverts back to its original form and they landed on the ground, near Zemislav's vicinity.
"*tch!* What took you all so long, you slowpokes?"
- Terence mocks in a friendly way.
"Heheheh! Sorry friend, back pain is a pain in the *ss! Ahahahah!"
- Heldrick replies in a comedic way.
"Well, sucks to be an Earth Golem Claymore wielder, is it? Ahahaha!"
- Heldrick jokes.
"Yep! Yes indeed. Aw! F*ck! Another back pain!"
- Axel said in a joking way.
*all laugh*
While they're having such an entertainment, Zemislav started to ask them, but more emotional.
"Why? Why did you all come back? You should've survived.... Why?? Don't you have any family to return to? WHY?!"
- Zemislav said emotionally.
*all were silenced*
*preparing their battle paces*
"Why, you ask? Well, as for my part... I have nothing to return back at the Empire, especially, I'm the reason behind all of this outrage."
- Terence said in guilt.
. . .
"It was me who drove your honorable title into a rebel. Because of my desires, it blinded me and even manipulates you in the process. Everyone's death is my karma. I deserve all of this because I'm the sinner."
- Terence said in a guilty face.
"I know it's too late to repent but ... Please, allow me to fight your side once again, as a way of repenting my sins of disobeying your orders."
- Terence apologizes.
*a moment of silence*
*demons charging madly over the distance*
. . .
*Zemislav and the rest were listening, and gone quiet*
"I... apologize for everything that I've caused... Especially you, Sir Zemislav."
- Terence apologizes.
. . .
"Well, me and my pal over here, I mean Heldrick, we just want to return the favor to our dearest leader."
- Axel said.
"We've been in your debt for so long. You kept on saving our pitiful *ss all over time. So, we and Axel will defend our leader till our last breath."
- Heldrick said boldly.
*Zemislav gotten emotional*
"Hey, Sir Barry? How about you?"
- Heldrick ask.
"Like I said earlier, I'll gladly offer my life in helping our leader, even if it means death."
- Barry said with doubt.
"But... Don't you had a daughter? Aren't you going to-?"
- Terence said with a confused tone.
*Barry doesn't know what to reply*
"Barry already lost his will to live long time ago, after losing his youngest son and his beloved wife, Gracelle. Also, his daughter is in a verge of death back then. But because of our Leader Zemislav, Barry manage to reunite with his daughter."
- Efrain said as he walks behind Barry.
"So, our Leader here seems unaware but his feats of rescuing his daughter from demons, to Barry, it is the greatest thing than the life he had. So, that's the reason he dedicated his life in serving Zemislav."
- Efrain said as he pats Barry from behind.
"Sir... Sir Efrain!?"
- Barry said in surprise so as the rest.
"I'm sorry I'm the one who's explaining it. It's just that, our lil' Barry here is so sensitive, especially about that topic I just mentioned."
- Efrain said as he jokes.
*a moment of silence*
*demons are approaching, 50 meters away from them*
"Condolence to your family, Sir Barry."
- all said.
*Barry sighs*
"Like Sir Efrain said, I've been already dead back at that time but because of you, Sir Zemislav, you brought back what I thought would be gone in my grasp. My daughter, Bene, is my everything, a precious jewel of my family I envisioned. *smiles* Bene, she's a strong gal, just like you, leader. *emotional* I'm pretty sure she'll be fine, even though it's not."
- Barry said emotionally.
*all were listening*
"Either way, I'm sure that , what I did just now, my daughter will surely understand. She's going to do what I do when she's in my shoes. *smiles* Bene is a type of person who'll do anything to return the favor, just like me."
- Barry said.
*demons are approaching*
"Now...."
- Barry said.
*all of them are now preparing in engaging the battle once more*
*ka-clack*
. . .
"Sir Zemislav, you don't owe us a favor but it is us. Because of you, we are what we are right now."
- Barry said as he looked towards him.
*firm gripping of weapon*
"It's our turn to return the favor... We'll give you enough time for your spell to complete. Your spell is our hope that can cause a great scar in demon's forces."
- Barry said while in a battle pace.
"Rest assured, and focus on conserving your power in completing your magical spell, Sir."
- Barry said.
*Zemislav's listening*
"ONWARDS TO THE PATH OF VICTORY!"
- Terence yells boldly.
*all yell*
Zemislav's men fight their way through the charging demons. They fight and fight till the end.
. . .
