"....Z..zE..ro...!" the beast growled, as the dark Knight being was shocked by this and was now conflicted within its state of mind. The dark being had now recognised the rings it worn, as it belonged to that.... Mercenary. "ZeRo WhErE iS.... Mia?"
"ZERO IS NO MORE... AND SO IS THAT NUN... AND SOON WILL YOU." The dark being reached out his right hand towards the monster and was radiating insane dark mana surges. "I WILL WIPE OUT EVERY BIT OF ZERO... DARK NIGHTMARE!"
The blast had trigger series of explosion all aimed at the monster, but in a swift moment; all of the blast was absorbed into the black monster's very being and this was a shocking sight to behold.
[ErrOr ErRor number of strategies unknown]
"... tHReAt tO Seal... IdENtIfiEd... Must DEfeNd..." The monster known to be Kami, started to emit a bone chilling aura that was inflicting fear in all of the surrounding hamjis, but then suddenly in a flash; Kami was now in front of the dark being, who also felt the destructive aura within Kami but didn't have a single bit of hesitate. "... Seal BrENch: FirST GaTE AbYSs UnlEaSH!"
"RAGE!" the monster erupted into flame, emitting heat that seemed unnatural, as the index ring was now fully overcome with dark mana from the seal on his arm. The dark being saw this and went on the offence, as they both unleashed their various offence IN union.
"FLAME INVERSE: MORNING STAR! / TENFOLD: DARK NIGHTMARE!"
-----------------
Ruk's p.o.v
As I and my teammates made our way in search of Kami, as we had to bring him down now that he was identified as a possible threat to the capital of Cyprus.
"you know I don't still think that it will be wise to carry so much company, since that we don't want to carry so much casualties why coming back." I claimed, as one of the knights came to me with a pissed look on his face.
"oi brat, who are you calling casualties, you better keep that mouth of yours close. You're all now under the supremacy of emperor Galileo, making us knights your superiors." The knight said through his helmet, as I just stared at him with a nonchalant expression on my face. "be grateful that your accompanied by some of the greatest knights in the capital... Scum."
"ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's funny, you're all just making a fool of yourselves." CW laughed but was still focused ahead. "we have a mission to carry out, and not just because we were asked to, but because of the potential threat that our teammate can impose."
"But CW his not a threat! He saved us from a yoma that could have killed us there, and not to mention that we were overcome by the hamjis present there!" tamaki argued, as CW just sigh. "we own him our lives, so please we can't do this."
"Tam we're not killing him... We're just detaining him, in case he ever becomes a threat, his our teammate after all." CW said with a relaxed tone in his voice. "I'm just being cautious about it, if a person was able to beat hercul in a test of strength and defeat a yoma with one finger hmm who knows what kind of demon could arise from him, if his ever corrupt."
"yes tamaki, the odds of people undergoing corruption are well frequent, so we can't risk any chances. We have to detain him to prevent that." Hercul said trying to make a point, as one of the head knight came in front of the group, as this caught them off guard.
"I'm afraid we can't afford that, if this person you claim has this much power, then I order that we terminate this... Beast." The head knight order, as some of his comrades had now stood with him. "any possible threat to the capital should be executed."
"no one mentioned killing of anyone, he hasn't even committed any crime that pose a threat to the capital." Hercul said with a serious look on his face, as I noticed that some of the knight were ready on guard... Something is not right here. "you're not authorized to do so!"
"Yes isn't going against the wishes of your emperor a sin, remember that we're now elites of the fortia clan so it won't be wise to attack us." I pointed out to them, as the head knight lowered his guard, and the others too.
".... Of course... But when it comes to the protection of the capital, then we must act, so I will order you again, that beast must be killed for the sake of the capital and I know that my lord too will see it as a very wise decision." He said with a glare directed at us. "so what will it be... siding with a threat... Or going against the seal that binds you to the capital and face the penalty for it."
Everyone remained silent, as the head knight had cornered us in a very difficult spot. This bastard sure knows the rules, and knows how to tight it around us, basically if we disobey the wishes of the clan we're elites for, the penalty was known to be death or bounty... That was the only reason why we decided to go in the first place, only to detain Kami... But to kill him for being a some what potential threat is too far, his our teammate, and saved us back at the devil's garden.
I had enough of this, and made my way in front of the head knight.
"don't try and use the rules of the capital at your own will, the only Reason why you're using the capital's laws is to hide the fact that your all just afraid of what we're all capable of doing... Even after we possibly kill Kami, I'm sure that you will just want to come after us next... As potential threat too, to the capital. Don't think just because we're elites under conduct, doesn't mean that you can force us to do the wrong thing." I started to walk through the head knight and his comrades, making my way towards the forest. "if this is how it will be... Then consider me out of it, I'm a warrior meant to use my power to serve the innocent... And not to become a slave to the wicked."
"you have made your choice, a foolish one to be exact!" the head knight lung his sword at me, trying to stab me from the back. "i will execute you on that spo-."
I turned my back to see that CW had grabbed the edge of the sword with his bear hands, and with ease. As his body was now emitting his signature white fog.
"i don't do well with people attacking my friends, and we're not slaves to your emperor... We're protectors of the innocent... So we don't f****** care of what you do to us, we're the roughest and toughest guild in Cyprus... So you better run off if you know what is good for you." CW threatened as all the Knights were feeling the murderous intent from him, but the head knight had enough.
"
The earth below us was rumble from the magnitude from it, but after some while; it had suddenly stopped... Though the worst wasn't over, because with this much mana released... There's no way that those demons won't be attracted towards it considering the radius from it.
The ground started to rumble again but not as much as before... But this was just to tell us that 'they' are coming. I stared at CW and the rest of my teammates nodding.
"...Ruk... NOW!" hercul shouted, as we all became alert and I summoned my chronicle.
'magic technique'
"space art: barrier!" I casted a barrier to protect myself , my teammates and the knights, as before we knew it a whole hoard of hamjis had rampaged towards the power surge. After some while, they all had passed us and I deactivated the barriers. "that was a close one."
"Yeah I guess, you tin cans better leave before you get wasted... If not, then those hamjis won't be your only problem." CW warned them, as the knights were now heading away, knowing that they couldn't do anything against us... But then I noticed that our guild mark had now morphed from the fortia clan flag... To a... God bondage. "
"oh no... I guess there is no turning back then huh." Sahal concluded, as we all knew what would happen if we're ever caught. " i guess we head out from here."
"not yet though." Hercul said while facing the beacon of the strong mana, with a small smirk on his face. "We can't leave our fellow teammate now can we."
"Guys... I'm afraid I can't go with you." Jack said with a straight face, as he started to make his way towards the direction back to the guild. "as you said, we can't leave our fellow teammates behind, so one of us have to go back and get the others and protect them, cause I'm sure the consequence of our actions will affect them too. So I'm going back."
"be careful big guy, remember it won't be easy." Tamaki said with a smirk.
"Hahaha who said I ever wanted it easy, I will immediately take them out of the capital afterward, till next time friends... Always remember to head to where the sun rise." Jack said his farewell, though the end of his statement was confusing... Head to where the sun rise... Hmmm I wonder.
"It's so weird that our guild is divided up... Though I guess that we need this to escape from the bounty. Cause I'm sure that they won't be able to catch jack alone, rather than we all heading back." Indra responded with a thoughtful look on his face. As suddenly we all heard an explosion of mana that created a beam of dark light that shot up to the heavens, as I noticed that CW's eyes had widened towards this. " is something wrong CW?"
"....the town... We need to go help the people in that town, those explosions are getting the attention of all these hamjis close to the town." CW said, as we all started to race towards the town in hopes of helping the people from this explosions and possible hamji attack.
'though let's just hope that their seal is still up after that first explosion...'
