It all started with him. And now it has come back to this ugly idiot.
Raptor, the weird overpowered commander of the Jalaar army had fought me a couple of times before –where all the times he was the victor. Fun fact, he has killed me once! That's interesting to know, right? Even after death, here he is, ready to kill me once again. He won't this time though.
"I have waited for this moment. To put an end to the one who started this chaos." I said. Raptor smiled and replied, "Well, luck is on your side. I'm not going anywhere today. Come at me, if you dare!" He roared. That's it. The stupid talk before the battle lasted for only a few seconds. We got into fight immediately. The desire to tear him apart couldn't be conveyed by words - I needed to put it into action.
So, I charged, riding Sounge. Raptor was in his Normal Form. He raised his claws to attack but I ducked and slashed the newly-evolved battle-axe right through his stomach. He turned around to face me and I took a reverse to attack head-on. He surely sensed my power because he changed into the Magic Form the next moment. One strike was enough to break his ego and arrogance up to a certain extent. Now I just needed to finish them totally with my skills. "I have already killed you once. The big moment is already over for me. So, I'll rather just kill you without playing around!" Raptor muttered, seeming bored. The battle-ground was an uneven field with rocks at random places.
As he was in the Magic Form, he could lift a rock magically by just lifting his fingers. He threw the huge boulder at me. I changed Magnum into a shield and met the boulder. The new Magnum shield could defend against much stronger things than before. I transformed him back to the battle-axe and Sounge galloped towards the monster. He once again used his fingers and Sounge tripped and fell, throwing me off his back.
I had already known that Raptor would use these petty tricks. Therefore, I threw the battle-axe when it was least expected. I started running towards him. Meanwhile, he was so focused on stopping the battle-axe that he did not notice me coming. Magnum stopped right in front of the monster but I summoned it back into my hand and pounced on Raptor. As he hadn't seen me, I took him by surprise. I thrust the battle-axe onto his right shoulder and the creature wailed. I ran out of range to be safe from his attacks and then summoned Magnum which was fixed in his body.
There was a pause from both ends. Neither he attacked nor did I. I wanted to give him a taste of dying slowly and he wasn't enjoying it; I can say that. "I did not expect this performance, Blaze Hunt! And that makes me even more excited to devour you!" He roared and transformed into his Beast Form. He almost became like a wolf- much scarier though. He had large claws and fangs and I knew that this was his final and most dangerous form of all. He used this mostly during wars. I had failed in defeating him once in this very form and he had killed me. I couldn't let that happen again!
He had a royal spear as his weapon. When we clashed, the spear cut the edge of my skin near my gut. I was saved but didn't know how long this luck would go on. We fought for ten minutes. Noon was coming to an end. We had a couple more hours to finish the game or else we would have to wait another day. Raptor was using all his force and so was I. Sometime later, he got an advantage and threw me down on the ground. By the time I would get up, I knew he would have made his move. Just before he attacked, Amanda from behind slashed the monster's back.
Raptor was bleeding from behind but of course, no monster cares about injury! They just want to tear you apart. Doesn't matter if they die. They are even ready to come as ghosts and kill you. "You killed my father, eh?" Amanda laughed at him, but I could see the pain in her expression. She had lost her father, Rock Flames due to this ugly creature. I had lost my father and grand-mother. Revenge was certain.
We both charged together. Raptor faced Amanda and as they were fighting, I climbed on top of his huge body, hanging onto his shoulders. I thrust the battle-axe into the back and the monster wailed. He grabbed and threw me in the distance. Amanda also faced his hard moves. Druk had arrived into the scene by then. He pounced on Raptor like a wild bull and they both fought recklessly. It was a strange scene to find two wild warriors fighting each other. Druk thrust his claw into the creature's gut. But Raptor reacted immediately and probably broke Druk's hand. He was unable to use his left hand for the time being. He backed out for some rest. I went back into the fight. All of us, little by little were finishing him off. I fought with him but he could still stand his ground.
But then I heard the noise of the warship descending. I found that Xavier was landing to fight Raptor. Oliver had arrived as well. I made sure he was fine as he had his leg injured from yesterday. He looked okay but I still asked him to not fight. Xavier joined me. He did not need any helmet while flying in the ship. But now when he came on the ground, he put on his helmet, matching with his shining armor. He brought out his weapon, the stick, Trance. "You killed Lily, you monster!!!! I will tear you with her own weapon!" Saying so, Xavier transformed the stick into Uniclaw! Uniclaw, Lily's weapon was supposed to be a pair of daggers. But Xavier got only one of the daggers as he had one weapon with him.
He looked at me and nodded. I nodded back and marched with him towards Raptor. The monster found it difficult to face us both with his injuries. He stopped me in my ways but Xavier stabbed him with Uniclaw. He used the dagger relentlessly, making sure Raptor would not miss a chance of regretting his decision to kill Lily. I slashed the battle-axe which did a lot of damage. The creature seemed to dissipate in his energy.
Looking back at a month from now, we were so weak and scared of this ugly creature. Raptor could just punch us once and we would be defeated with ease. But now, I could see the progress of each DELTA. Not only were we fearless, we were also defeating that same Raptor. But the monster also attacked with the spear. He struck the spear near Xavier's knee and the DELTA fell down with pain. Amanda joined and attacked with Blizzard. Oliver also wrecked the monster with Hyperior. He was really enjoying the new blade.
Both Raptor and I had been using the Zantai power all along. In fact, the monster was still surviving only due to the Zantai power. But when Amanda used the power with me to face him, there was no chance for him to survive. She focused on controlling his mind and all his movements stopped. I could sense this energy of Amanda seizing Raptor's abilities. I understood my role and got ready with Magnum. I asked Magnum to attack with all the power he had. The white aura around the blade intensified during the final move. I jumped high up in the air, almost gliding. I came down directly at the monster and as I roared, I thrust the battle-axe into his gut. The loud ugly wail of his was almost unbearable. But then everything became silent.
I pulled the battle-axe out and looked at the corpse. I had killed Raptor. The DELTAs had killed Raptor!
