"aaaaargh!" Edgar yelled as he charged at Afo in fury, if he didn't kill this man in the mosy cruel way possible he would never be able to forgive himself, he had always been rational when needed but right now he had lost rationality.
His grips tighten on his huge "pencil", his muscles tighten and with all his might was ready to kill the hateful hero in front of him but that was it he didn't even see it coming... The only thing he saw was Afo immediately breaking the sound barrier streslessly so instead of swinging his huge pencil at Afo his body subconsciously used the pencil to guard his side.
When Afo was just right next to him, with a powerful kick his foot dug into the huge tree that Edgar was carrying which took most of the impact but still it didn't stop Afo's kick from chattering three of his ribs causing one of them to pierce into his lungs.
Edgar grit his teeth to try bear the pain and stumps his right leg into the floor so as to stop himself from being tossed aside by the kick but once again he was wrong, infact he made a terrible mistake. Afo's kick carried so much force that it caused the right leg he dug into the ground to snap in the wrong direction with his bones digging out of his skin, Edgar didn't have enough time to yell out and curse Afo before the kick sent him flying a few hundred meters into the forest leaving the open space they were fighting in.
Afo didn't waste any time seeing that Vila was getting up he charged at her once more sending a sonic wave behind him, he turns the blade into a glove once more and sends a punch into the woman's stomach causing her to cave in and raises her a few meters of the ground, trying to avoid sending her into the sky Afo immediately grabs her by her hair and pulls her back to himself and then slams the back of her head against the ground leaving her to shriek in pain.
Afo still hadn't felt anything so far so he decided he still needed a little more stimulation so he raised his right foot and stumps it against Vila's right arm immediately severing it with the force. Blood and flesh mixed with bones were everywhere but Afo still had an indifferent look on his face so he decided, maybe he isn't feeling anything because they plan on taking his life and now it was best to just discard of them.
The archer in the forest immediately fires and arrow at Afo which Afo's ears immediately picked up, Afo swiftly used his blade deflecting the arrow to the side which explode on impact to the ground. The archer fires five more consecutive shots and Afo like the first one deflects them all as they all explode on impact as well.
("Archers sure know how to keep their distance") Afo adjust his senses to pick out exactly where the archer was located since he knew he probably would be changing locations.
"Ignite persona pure state with ten percent output.. 'Phoenix'" Afo's chest became lava red which the archer immediately notices that his targets next attack is definitely going to be a ranged attack he knocked an arrow into his bow so as to get his most powerful attack to meet Afo's first ranged attack so far.
The lava like redness passes through his throat and the next thing like a compressed laser canon he unleashed a huge laser blast, the archers eyes were full of shock that they screamed to leave his eye sockets, he couldn't muster the energy to dodge or release his own attack as Afo's flaming red hit laser incinerate's the archer alongside the trees nearby.
After the smoke had cleared off a huge path of about 300 meters in width and length seeming unknown was left on the floor and nothing in it's path was left unscathed, after making sure that the archer was no more he turned around to look at Vila who had a look of terror in her face after seeing his attack and felt his heart flutter for a brief moment.
He turned the blood back into a blade and was about to decapitate Vila when a magic circle appeared under him, Afo looked down to know what the circle was for since he hasn't seen anyone use a magic circle the whole time, with a strong glow of blue light, so bright that Afo had to close his eyes.
ROAAAAR!!
A huge crocodile emerges from the magic circle and with its mouth wide open bites Afo taking his lower half into it's mouth. Afo looked down at the giant lizard that had it's jaws clenched to the lower half if his body. The crocodile was so huge that despite having it's head hundreds of meters into the sky, the other part of his body was still emerging from the magic circle on the floor.
Afo looked at the crocodiles green glossy scales and it's golden mandible, obviously this was a trained plaguelings so the last team member he sensed in the forest must be a tadmer and this plaguelings must be at least a Saint (mid) ranked plague. Afo looked at downwards to see the the tamer already next to Vila trying to help her up.
Seeing this he believed that they must be hoping that the giant lizard can either buy them enough time to think of a plan or make for an escape. Afo felt his heart skip a beat, he couldn't tell why he felt happy just for a little moment, just for a brief moment he felt satisfied.
"Ignite persona pure state..'Blood Trinket'"
["Darling you do remember the side effect of continuous use of your powers right?"] Blood trinket asked somewhat concerned.
"Don't try to sound so concerned trinket" he replied to trinket as he placed his right hand on the crocodiles face. His hand morphed into what looked like a huge horrific mutant from a horror movie. The hand was filled with eyeballs bulging and looking left and right as if searching for something to devour and the part of his hand that were supposed to be fingers replaced by huge horrific human like teeth's.
The length of the arm had increase to about 150 meters long. His hand was now a 150 meter long horror to the tamer who was looking at Afo in the sky, even the crocodile immediately let go of the monster he had been trying so hard to bite in half and run for it's dear life but it was already too late, Afo's hand elongates chasing the plague with its mouth opened with one huge bite he chomps the plage down to the remaining part of it's body still in the magic circle.
The tamer who was standing not too far from the magic circle with Vila resting on his shoulder fell on his butt leaving causing the mask he wore on his face revealing he was actually a she. A young beautiful girl about 5'11 looked like she was in her early twenties according to Afo's earth years reasoning, she had black hair with a beautiful face that was now filled with tears and mucus from her nose. She had been trying to keep her composure hoping that she could escape with one of her most powerful tamed plague was handling Afo.
"Waaaaahh!" She burst into tears as she saw the multiple eyes on Afo's hands turn their gaze at her, the hands with their teeth still against the ground with blood and the plagues flesh still stuck between it's teeth. The hand began to approach she and Vila, the tears in her eyes began to flow endlessly, she didn't want to die but she knew her death was certain. She was beginning to sweat like a pig being led to the slaughterer and there's nothing she could do about it.
"Wait!" Led shouted looking up to Afo who was looking down at them from the sky, his hand shrunk back and transformed back to it's original state. After Afo had made sure there was no more dirt on his hand he gently landed to hear what Led had to say.
"I'm listening.." he looked at Led with his face still indifferent.
"Please let her go" Led pleaded with his face obviously filled with sincere concern.
"Why should I?" Afo asked and after asking the question, he dashed at Vila in a single clean cut sliced her in halves separating her lower half from her upper half. Her eyes were filled with shock and so was the tamer who Vila's blood spilled on her face. The tamer immediately let out a scream after her teammates blood spilled on her face and some inside her mouth.
"Because she's pregnant..." Led shouted before Afo ends up killing her. Afo hearing this turned to look at Led who was already in tears meaning he was the one responsible for her pregnancy.
["Darling you do know the woman you just killed was pregnant as well right"] Afo was surprised after hearing trinkets words.
("What why didn't you tell me on time") Afo asked immediately going back to his apathetic nature.
["You didn't ask to be told"] trinket replied giggling.
("Well next time tell me when you notice something like that!") Afo replied before letting out a sigh.
["Sure thing"] trinket replied.
"So was she.." Afo answered Led pointing to Vilas corpse.
"What?" Led was shocked o hearing the news, he didn't know wether the hero he knew had changed but he wasn't going to let his fiance die like that.
"Please she's new, she just joined the organization six months ago, she still has her slave collar on" Led began to plead with Afo having all sincerity in his eyes, for some reason he felt if he lied Afo wouldn't bat an eye and end them both.
"If you're still the hero that fought so hard against slavery then please I know you would understand" he finally broke into tears.
Sigh!
Afo let out another sigh after hearing his final words.
["So what are you going to do"]
"Sure but only one of you gets to live, now choose" he looked at the girl on the floor whose tear stream would not stop flowing and then turns to the Led.
"Let her live please"
"No Led you said we would leave together" she finally voiced her thoughts.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't give you a wedding" Led replied with a smile as he closed his eyes to accept his fate.
"No please don.." before she could finish her sentence Afo turned to her with a look that made her shut up.
"I don't want to hear your opinion" Afo shunned her in an ominous tone. As he was about to morph his hand once more to devour Led, Edgar emerged from the forest with his huge pencil and legs healed, obviously he had used a healing potion. There he saw Vila on the floor and Afo standing over her cold corpse. His eyes turned red in rage, his huge "pencil" was now completely on fire he took a stance ready to toss it at Afo with all his might and end it all.
("Captain is about to do that attack, no he might kill her alongside") Led though, he wanted to stop his captain but it was too late Edgar had finally lost it.
"Be gone" Edgar shouted before tossing his "pencil" at Afo with all his might, it was like a huge misile being launched, seeing this Afo decided to respond finally taking his left hand out of his pocket after the whole time and takes a stance to unleash a powerful punch.
"Ignite persona pure state 'THE QUEEN'" on saying this he punched the sharp part of Edgar's 'pencil' resulting in a huge explosion. The flames from the explosion flew at the direction where Edgar and Led were incinerating them both and not just them. The explosion basically took half of the hill were the fight was taking place with them turning the plagues who were just returning to their territory to ashes.
The whole of the town below shook like an earthquake was occurring causing people to run out of their houses to see the cause only to see half of the hill, filled with thick black smoke and a little flames, when the smoke had cleared up it was as if magma was left on the remaining part of the hill that was incinerated.
