San holding his sword once again, without any thoughts just aggressive emotions, swung the sword as he saw Alaric try to attack him once again, this time San cut his right arm.
Agir with a joyful expression, said loudly, "That's my boy, take him down show me your worth child".
Alaric stepped back and laughed hard, San said loudly, "I cut your arm your stupid Oldman, what is there to laugh about", Alaric with a smirk answered, "just too many things...", Alaric raised his hand, then it regenerated, Asman only saw from far the Clash of the star and his fire.
"I thought he had fire ability, where did that come from", Lived approached Asman and said, "He has more, hi, I am Lived, since you are the one who leads Monarchs, I thought to tell you would be better, Alaric had made a deal with hell, selling his soul to Hell for powers, so he has now become hell and is able to tap into the powers that hell can offer without any risk", "Thanks for telling me", Asman didn't know Lived but since his info, was valuable to him, he considered him an ally and through a shock wave of electricity, he sent to all the Monarchs brains, the arriving Monarchs now have somewhat idea what his powers are about.
Alaric was trying to win San over to himself, "Just like this arm, the age does not matter to me, you haven't seen my true self nor has the man over there told you my original power...", Pointing to Lived, "...He hasn't told you yet my power is to manipulate time, I can rewind time, I even reached higher, with the powers of hell I can steal any powers and bestow any powers, I have the greatest healing power, I am immortal".
Asman unlike the other Monarchs, take things more serious, so he asked Lived, "Why didn't you mention that", Lived calmly answered, "I already told the Oldman and he is the one who told me to be quiet", Asman looked Lived in the eyes and then said, "Ok, I believe the eyes of a man who does not want to die".
San screamed at Alaric, "Healing ability and time ability, the ability to control time does not exist, your age is the exact truth, if you were truly immortal and able to control time then, why do you look so old".
Alaric, "To look wise and convincing, can't you see with this old body of mine I have made you freeze on your spots, not even a single ant moves here, one last time I tell you San, Join me and I will show you the path to success, you will live an eternal life with me, of course, no man believes unless he sees with his own eyes...", Spreading his arms, Alaric calmly said, "...zurückspulen".
The air and the surrounding energy started to burst in him, The Monarchs made some distance, especially San he took a long jump back, "What now, is he going crazy, this f*cking philosopher".
As the energy around calmed and the dust cleared, standing tall, handsome, "Nice to be young again", the shock was on their faces, even Lived didn't know he could rewind time this much, he looked like he was in his middle twenties, "He really got younger, what an interesting ability", Said Darya, Layla, Arzhin and Heliz, were blushing, "How can one be so handsome", Alaric is now in his prime, Alaric with both his arms spread, wide open, asked loudly, "So what do you choose, to live a glorified life or a life where you are a slave to the people in the name of justice, you may not know brother but these people you fight beside have ordered from humans with higher authorities...", San lowering his sword, was shocked at how he managed to age back to his youth and at what he heard, "People with higher authority?".
Alaric sighed and stated, "Please, do not be another brother who chooses the world over me, or I will have to destroy you and this world together".
After Alaric proposed a position to San in his new world, San was not sure, should he accept or not, all the events that have been happening to this day did not make any sense to him, how do the Monarchs know about him, is it the devil man in him, is he a target, with a sorrowed voice San answered, "I decline, Brother", San knew he was saying the truth but joining the evil this soon without more knowledge would be fatal to him.
*****
Alaric in his new form stood in the middle of his enemies eyes, despite the power level to their advantage but the greater ability was on his advantage.
Then Agir stepped up and said loudly, "For all the 100 years I was the ally of the Hell, I never knew it would offer powers other than fire, since your case is different I assume it makes sense, you sold your soul, my soul was chosen".
The Monarchs looked at Agir, most of them, had no idea about this, Danyar thought maybe Asman knows something since he gets a lot of information from Zoran, "Asman, did you know about this too?", Asman with a blank expression without looking at Danyar said, "I did not know that", 'This Oldman, had this up to his sleeves this whole time, do the five noble families know about this, if so why they kept it a secret from us, I will confront them when all this over'.
Piling slowly come standing next to the Oldman, "I don't care about the 'Hell Alliance' you have but Oldman I think it's time for some action, I am thirsty", [SMIRK].
Piling sat down on the ground and said, "Ay zawy xwda, gwe bgra, kate pet dalem, hasta".
[EARTHQUAKES]
"Hahahaha, Come forth, wake up and let us rise to the sky, let's show the world me and you together can bring anyone down, hahaha...".
No one had a single idea, why he was laughing but his opponent was Alaric and not the others, so he did not care since he saw the satisfied smile of Alaric, behind Piling, a long arm emerged, slowly a full statue appeared, Alaric asked, "What will a man-made stone do, to me, a being superior to all things that walk on earth".
Piling smiled and said, "You have some issues, just watch and enjoy", Palms clapped, the statue behind him did the same, something beneath Alaric punched him to the sky, the earth around Alaric turned into pieces and then started to cling itself to Alaric, sealing Alaric in an enormous ball, that the statue held, "Seal of Earth", said Piling, "This will keep him there forever and if he comes out of this one, then he will be more interesting than I thought", Agir thought to himself, "No seal works against him but this kid is delusional, he doesn't even know what he is doing, just wasting energy".
Piling stood and looked at Agir, "What are you worried about, great Monarch".
Agir responded, "I am afraid that it won't be enough to hold him back, stones don't seem to be enough".
The ball and the statue, were both cut in a curved slice by Alaric, as the Statues and the body's upper part fell, Alaric showed himself.
"You call that sealing, Disappointment, I waited to see if something happens but it was just stones, Lived and Agir, two strong men, each on your their own class, Yet they struggle to defeat-"
Suddenly darkness took over the sky, Piling smiled and said, "Here he comes, I was just distracting him, my rival", the headless statue was holding the ball that was cut in half, standing on it was Alaric the Kaiser and behind him, a man in shadow emerged, "It seems everyone forget about me, sigh, it doesn't matter actually, I am now ready to take you on".
When the first fight started between the Monarchs and Kommandaten, it was midday, now is evening, but this darkness covered the continent and made it look like night.
As the shadow figure stood next to Alaric, he looked down to see his friends, they saw it was Alan, Layla looked up and said, "I wondered where you had gone, must have snuck away to gather more power, just how much natural energy did you gain".
Alaric, "Who the hell are you?", Alan with a smiley face said, "A man who is sent to kill you so I hope you are not another clone".
*****
Alaric did not care about his identity anymore, he was useless to him anyway, "You know what I don't need the identity of a dead man, after all", Swung his sword, pierced through his stomach, "Die", "Cough blood, please mercy".
Alaric was at shock when he felt someone put hands around his shoulder, the voice told him, "Do you know what they call, the people who know about my powers?", As he talked to Alaric, Alaric saw the body he pierced through turn into the smoke of darkness," they call me, the Undefeated, just like you I have a broken ability".
Alaric with a mad expression, without moving in his spot, "I guess I will take the title from you".
Alan with a smile told him, "go ahead, I love challenges".
Alaric kicked Alan off the hill, as he fell, Alaric saw Alan deform like the smoke of darkness and come behind him, Alaric asked, "What are you exactly, you turned the world to shadow, I guess this is your ability, shadow manipulation and for you to deform like that without a problem of a fatal wound, then I assume the light is your weakness?", Alan smiled and said, "I wouldn't like to tell you if you are right or wrong but one thing is for sure you are a smart man", Chuckled Alaric, "I am a genius after all".
At an amazing speed Alaric moved behind him, took him by the neck and jumped from the statue, "Suicide, just to take me down?", Alaric responded, "Oh no I have a great way to defeat you, just be patient", Alan in mid-air deformed to a cloud of smoke and came behind Alaric, as they got close to the ground, Alan punched him so hard, thus throwing to the ground and created a big pit.
Alan's hands were bleeding, "What a man is he, his body is was as strong as the rock, it hurt damn it".
Before the dust got cleared, Arzhin and Fener came forth to Alan, "We will take it from here", Alaric was laying there in the pit, "Just what the happened, sigh, I must end this quickly", even though conscious he did not move and wanted to see what the others have to offer.
Arzhin generated sands that slowly covered Alaric's body and the pit, "Xory Mrdn", first some sands went through his nose and mouth, then more Sands come and closed around him and filled his inside body, making his body feel popped out, Alaric pondered, "If this was my old body, I would have died".
As the pit got filled, Fener generated Water around it and it got fused with the sand, thus making mud and assuring his death.
As they did all that, the dust got cleared but one thing the four Monarchs, San and Lived, all who had fought him multiple times, knew he had many ways to come back, so they did not let their guards down.
Alan stood above the mud and cleared the dark sky, he looked around Piling, Darya and Pola, who were on his right, "Don't worry guys, this time he is done, once and for all, rest in-".
His middle chest was pierced by a sword, the man who pierced him was Alaric, with blood out of his mouth, "How..., I was sure...", The Monarchs were all shocked at the scene but since he had too many tricks they did not want to attack just like that, Piling standing next to Agir asked, "Oldman just let me attack him, I will cut him down to pieces, just give the order", Agir thought to himself before answering, "I must end him by myself, I should not drag them into this or one of them might die, I will take care of it myself", after the pondering he told Piling, "Be patient, I will deal with it my self", Agir went to San and Lived, "You guys...".
Alaric pierced from the back through Alan's chest, "I knew you were spectating the fight from the beginning, I was watching all your moves from the beginning, I know all about you master of shadow, you were accepted for your ability that turns the world to your domain, I couldn't take the risk of being stuck there, so I sent a clone that you all thought was the real me, you might ask when we changed places, I did it when I deaged myself and thanks to you, you cancelled your domain yourself, your guts and ego, destroyed you", Alaric lowered his arm and let his sword loose, Alan's buddy collapsed on the ground, barely breathing.
The Monarchs now had to act, since they saw him suffering from the lung, Agir appeared at unimaginable Speed, finally putting some effort in his fight, Swung the sword that contained the white flames of hell, Alaric dodged but luckily Agir's fire went far from where Alan was, the flames destroyed the land it met, then Agir cooled it down by drawing it back to his palm.
Alaric jumped away from him, he was putting a plan to fight them and destroy them all, once for all, as Alaric landed, Darya generated Ice, that closed Alaric in-between its walls, Alaric held the ice back with raw power, slowly cracking them but Darya was continuously generating them.
"You think you can hold me here, no man-made power will be able to hold me, I am a genius and the strongest", adding the red flames of hell into his Palms, he managed to melt and escape the unending ice, he landed before the exhausted Darya and punched him in the stomach, so hard made him bleed, then kicked him to the ground, slowly spacing out.
Piling attacked him, Alaric had forgotten his sword by the Ice, so he took Darya's sword and changed some blows with Piling, "Finally some chance to cut you down, I will slice you up really nicely, hahaha...", "Stay away from me you crazy man", Alaric saw him as a threat for his ability, the ability to control earth.
"Piawy Asn", screamed Pola and intervened into the fight, taking Piling's opponent, Piling, "He is my opponent, you idiot, just why do you keep taking my prey, should I slice you all up".
Pola had turned into a steel man and was countering the swords attack with his bare hand, "How annoying, you think I can't cut you, I can", Pola kept on throwing many hard punches, none of them hit, then Alric tried to kick-throw Pola.
Pola took the chance and caught his leg, "You are done...", Pola hit Alaric to the ground, then punched him five times, left and right side parts of his body.
As Alaric got the 5th punch as he was on the ground, he was about to scream, to boost himself, but then the earth shuted his mouth, a rope emerged from the ground closing his feet, arms and the mouth, as he looked behind him
"Shut up, you people destroyed my ear today", said Piling.
The earth took Alaric beneath, as he was taken some strong earthquake occurred, it was unclear, what was going on there but everybody got ready on their stand for anything to come.
Asman told Fener, "Take the girls and tell them to heal the injured, Danyar and Akam, come with me", Arzhin told Fener as they went to Layla, who was healing Alan, "We are Monarchs too, what is wrong if we fight", Fener only looked and listened to what she had to say, she didn't want problems with Asman.
The earth, the standpoint where Alaric was taken shattered as a fire burst out like a beam, slowly climbed a man with torn clothes all left is his body and abs.
He smiled and laughed as he stood, "You damns, sending me to the cores of Earth, I barely survived", Alaric looked at Pola and got to him like a flash of fire, then Alaric slashed his left steeled arm, "This is for the punches", Alaric kicked him far, where Danyar caught him, Danyar told Asman, as he had Pola in his arm bleeding badly, "Since he can control fire, I better take my distance, I will take him to Layla", "Do it, we will take care of the rest, protect them, alright".
Alaric did not care about anyone but looked around for Piling, the man who had the ability to send him to the core of Earth, as he looked straight into his eyes, Piling asked with a smirk, "Do you want a piece of me, I mean I don't mind come if you want", just once again Piling's opponent was taken, "Btaqe", shouted Akam, Explosions emerged as Alaric looked at his behind-left, any man would have been done for, with that much explosion.
"Zeit ist unter mein händ", in the Germanic language Alaric said, "Time is under my hands".
Alaric was aggressive this time, so he did not show any mercy and stopped time, as the time resumed he was behind Akam, Akam's Explosions damaged nothing but the air, "Huh, where is he", Since Akam was kind of in mid-air, Alaric Cut off his legs, Akam collapsed with the terror and painful expression, he screamed in pain.
The end of chapter 19.
