A swordsman who matched Every aspect of McElroy perfectly except his hair couliur and his body.
It could be seen that he was a boy around 19 years of age.
His hands held a Dadao in one of his hands and he was fighting McElroy with it..
His swordsmanship was ametuer but still McElroy was not finishing him off.
McElroy stepped back after the clash.
McElroy :
Who are you?
? :
I am someone who will become the strongest in the entire world. One day my strength will reach beyond the realms and confines of this world.
McElroy : (unknowingly)
God Slayer.
Jay looked back at McElroy with a somewhat suspicious whim.
Jay :
God Slayer?
McElroy : (confused)
I don't how how or why I called him that. He and I feel. Eerily similar.
McElroy was shivering slightly.
? :
God Slayer, it's a very cool name for someone who will become the strongest. But for me to take that name I'm not ready.
Jay : what is your name.
Unnamed : (naively)
Well I don't have a proper name yet. But many do call me monster, , Akuma, cursed child. You can call me that.
This boy is strong but naive. I wonder how did he survive this far with just strength alone.
Jay :
Want me to give you a proper name boy.
He was really excited to receive a proper name a title he could proudly tell others.
Unnamed :
But first you have to defeat me.
Jay just stretched his hand out to create a proper sword out of metal and slowly walked towards him.
The boy ran towards Jay and performed a sweep but Jay's iron legs took that hit without even flinching. The boy looked at Jay's unfazed face and performed an downward stroke of the Dadao aiming for his legs. And Jay performed a brief hop before standing firm on the ground.
Jay stood on the same position as he was. Jay had many opportunities to counterattack but he decided to wait.
The boy stood up with fierce fire raging within his eyes and he used his athletic ability to its fullest. To use a series of moves.
Firstly there was an overhead strike which was simply avoided by holding my sword in between the line of attack while not opening other lines of attack.
The there was an attempt at my waist for which Jay stepped back. And now there was a flurry of slashes which were performed by the boy which were either deflected or were just simply avoided
After 20 more slashes his speed of swinging slowed down as he now started breathing heavily. And eventually after a lot of slashes he was tired and bent down on his knees.
Unnamed :
I will become the strongest I must not bend in my knees.
To preserve his conviction. Jay went to him.
Jay :
You did well. *******.
And even he was not spared. Details ommited. But he was still alive.
Named :
I will not stop until I'm stronger than both of you.
Jay :
I'll be waiting.
And the boy passed out.
McElroy was simply speechless. Between the exchange.
McElroy :
Why did I call him God slayer he's just a boy.
Jay :
McElroy hurry up let's finish this.
McElroy had lots of questions in his mind and once again zero answer.
Jay and McElroy finally reached the castle gate as they thought why they even took this large journey where they fought and fell thousands. And there were no deaths not even one.
Jay :
Where did you bury the stone.
McElroy who was lost in thought suddenly snapped back to reality.
McElroy :
Oh it's just inside the gate take four steps forward.
Jay :
How did you manage to dig one there without anyone else knowing.
McElroy :
I have my own ways.
Doesn't further elaborate. Leaves.
Delcado was standing beneath the gate.
Delcado :
Before you step inside think once again how your actions will affect all of the Kingdom.
They will lose their homes on which they have been living for generations.
I have now lost and don't have anything to barter. So I am now begging you.
Think about how many innocent lives you are ruining.
Delcado removed a flintlock pistol from his belt and aimed towards his head.
Delcado :
You think you're so great for sparing lives.
If you even step even one more step further. I will shoot myself in the head.
And this is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
For everyone.
Delcado had death written over his entire face that he was ready to pull the trigger and commit suicide because he thought about the greater good. A very honer able act.
Even Thoth had stepped forward.
Thoth :
You've indeed outsmarted me today. I will remember this humiliation.
And suddenly there was a bang noise and it was quickly revealed that Guy Emerson hit McElroy with a gun which caused him to bend down and Guy Emerson shot him into the head at point blank but nothing happened.
McElroy tried to move.
Delcado :
If you move I will shoot.
Delcado :
Answer me what are you doing this.
Jay :
My hands are tied.
Delcado :
I will raise another army like this one and over throw whatever he is. Just surrender now.
Jay :
For him an army as big as the lands are just insignificant as ants. Even the elder gods are nothing before him.
With a snap he can erase all of existence. He is someone who holds both the power of creation and destruction within his palms.
Jay :
Everyone who has fought here even the lowest of the low has done a good deed today.
Jay stepped forward and Delcado shot himself with his gun aimed right above the ear canal. The bullet left the chamber but it never reached Delcado instead it was deflected by Jay's magic.
Jay whispered in Delcado ear
Jay :
I'm sorry.
And within one fell swoop Delcado the leader of the black whistle fell.
McElroy also took care of Guy Emerson and Thoth by punching them both.
And finally they reached their destination.
Jay :
Should we end this.
McElroy :
Yes.
Both Jay Injected his remaining mana into the ground and it reacted with the high elemental stone which set off a chain reaction and a huge wave of fire was seen throughout the kingdom.
Explosions everywhere the buildings were demolished, toppled one over the other, one after another.
This destruction was seen by everyone the mercenaries, the people of the Kingdom, the army, the medics and the
Elder Gods.
But the final nail in the coffin was still about to come as a big rock came down and struck the kingdom bringing total destruction of the rivers of the entire mountain.
Quest completed.
Rewards pending.
The leader of the Elder God tore through the clouds and showed himself to everyone. His anger was beyonds the stars.
His anger was literally turning into flames.
His hand was as big as the entire kingdom.
Elder God :
You have disrespected for the last time human.
Face my wrath.
The Elder God pulled his arm back and unleashed his palm on Jay and McElroy. The palm was an attempt to stomp them and was wide enough to ensure that they won't get away in time.
Jay and McElroy waiting for their incoming doom.
Suddenly there was a horn sound. And there was a vehicle like a ship standing in front of them.
Researcher :(Urgency)
Quickly hop in we have no time.
Both of them made a beeline to the vehicle and the vehicle
wasn't starting.
Researcher : (desperate)
Come on, come on work please work.
The engine of the vehicle roared to life and they were booted out of the time line.
While the gods palm crashed on the land destroying it and making it barren. The wrathful God lifted his palm and saw that there was no sign of them. He roared in anger as the lands were pressured by his noise alone. The soil started flying backwards. Rocks were being broken down in their own. It could be heard at the far ends of the lands.
The God in his wrathful form descended upon the lands with all of the heavens army poured through the lands.
Whilst the other elder gods watched.
And the lower God tried to quell the anger of their elders.
But to no avail.
Their trust on the lower gods had already been broken and they needed to be punished for their misdeeds.
Setting off the Domino which was carefully lined up events tumbling on its own.
The Domino tumbled on its own leading to the present.
And finally the story of the events that took place in the past was completed.
But now even something more dreadful and more drastic waited for them.
The War.
The Era of the heroes or the Divine Era had begun.
And the arrival of the Hero Helios is at hand.
The stage where everything begun has finally opened its curtains to begin their First Act. Act I
