Ean crashed against the ground, sighing a little as he scratched the back of his head, standing up only to see the red demon like thing start screaming
" You guys okay? "
Ean questioned, resting his great sword on his shoulders only to look over at the bubble of air which Ayami made to keep the kids safe
" Yes we're good. Just tell me you can kill it "
Ayami replied, only for Ean to tilt his head a bit, blinking a few times to then smile
" I most definitely can, but.. "
Ean would lower his great sword, allowing the tip to crash against the ground only for Ayami to raise an eyebrow
" But what? "
" Well, can your bubble thing protect the kids from the aftermath? "
Ean questioned, making Ayami frown in an annoyance, only to take a deep breath seconds later
" Well Can i- "
" Is that really what you're worried about!?!? Huh!? You think I'm weak huh? Ean Bermudez!?! "
" No, it's just that— "
" It's just what?!? What!?! You think because I'm a woman I can't defend myself, is that it!?! Well I'll show you, after this is over I'll make sure to rip your head off!!!! "
Ayami yelled, only for Ean take a few steps back, feeling the killing intent fuming from Ayami's expression
" I—I'll kill it right away.. "
Ean said under his breath, slowly turning to look at the creature, sighing a bit, as if facing that thing was a privilege
" Well, why don't you come? "
Ean questioned, smiling a bit as he would then raise his hand, taunting the creature by moving his finger back and forth, as if telling it to 'come here'.
The creature would then growl, proceeding to dash toward Ean, who would immediately send it back with a punch to the face
" Sorry, but I've been told to annihilate you "
Ean whispered whilst taking slow steps toward the creature, who crawled out of a crater, shaking its head to then dash toward Ean again.
This time Ean would move aside dodging the punch that thing tried to land on him, only for it to stop itself with its feet, crawling on the ground only to dash toward Ean yet again
" You don't learn do you? "
Ean whispered as he would then surround his left hand with sanctuary energy, bits of lighting flying off of his palm every millisecond.
The moment the demon like thing got close to Ean, the man would shoot a blast of pure lightings against its face, sweeping the floor with the creature to then, flick his wrist, dispersing the lighting only to follow up that attack with a strong downward slash which cleanly cut the creature's arm off, making it scream in pain.
" Gaahhhh!! "
It exclaimed as Ean simply stared at itX watching the blood spew from its shoulder like a fountain
" Hmm, it seems like a basic attack won't do the trick.. "
Ean said to himself as he would slowly wrap both of his hands around his sword's hilt, gripping it tightly to then let out a great amount of air from his mouth.
The moment Ean took this stance the creature began to shake in fear, like a typical animal went ever it met with its natural predator.
" Death Knight Chronicles… "
Ean whispered as his eyes would begin to shine, whilst lighting started to surround his body and his hair elevated
" Bloody—- "
The man would then raise his blade as high as he could, proceeding to engulf it in an aura that would crack the ground the moment it appeared, as if it had some sort of pressure.
This pressure also held the demon down which allowed the man to complete his move
" Moon "
Ean said, ending his sentence completely to then swing his blade down, but the moment he swung it, all sound went away, not even the air which would normally engulf a blade when swung couldn't even be heard.
" Eh? "
The creature exclaimed, but unfortunately for it, a line began to form where Ean had swung, and from that line a gigantic blast of red energy shot out, which completely engulfed the creature, burning even its bones to nothingness, only leaving behind a huge crack behind where the castle once was
" I wanted to keep it alive, and see why I couldn't feel its energy "
Ean said to himself as he would then pull his great-sword up, allowing it to rest on his shoulders
" It had immense brute strength though, could it be an artificial life form? Created with technology perhaps?… "
Ean began to think to himself whilst rubbing his chin a bit
" But, for it to exist such amazing technology would be impossible, was it maybe a chimera? If so then it's body must have been made with the corpses of Himuras, because it's strength was unnatural "
Ean continued to flow into thought, as Ayami simply released the bubble, allowing the kids to walk out, taking in a deep breath of relief
" Oh, Ayami, where's the elf queen? Is she safe? "
Ean yelled as he would jump into the air, stopping once he reached an altitude which allowed him to see the entire kingdom
" Yes, she's in the castle's bunker, she should be fine "
Ayami replied, yelling so Ean could hear
" Great, then I'll do a quick search around the kingdom, just in case there are more of those things!! "
Ean would then disappear in a burst of air, leaving behind a trail of his blue energy
" Alright, let's get going kids.. "
Ayami said as she would then grab Asami's hand; starting to walk toward where the castle once was, stopping at a metal door which was on the ground, proceeding to open it so the kids could walk in.
As that happened, Shu would walk out of the sea onto the small island where the mermaid queen was resting at, holding on his hand the gray creature by its head.
Dragging it across the ground with a cold expression on his face.
" Let's get going, we must go back to my kingdom, your kingdom isn't safe, you'll die if you stay here "
Shu said as he would duck down, showing the queen his back
" You want me to get on your back? "
She questioned, seeming disgusted by the idea, but Shu would only turn to look at her
" Yes. You have no other choice "
He replied, making her grumble, but with a whole lot of complains she would hop on his back.
The man would then blast off of the island, still holding the creature by its head as he flew across the air, preparing to head back to his kingdom.
