SLASH!!!
SHATTER!!!
With the last swing, the last weapon was destroyed. Primis and Ophis lowered their weapons and looked at the red cocoon where Richard was once standing.
Primis: Looks like we are a bit too late.
Ophis: Um.
Primis and Ophis both had serious expressions as they were looking at the cocoon.
Ophis: We can't destroy it. Because if we do then the all the evilness will burst out and will spread throughout this world.
Primis: Yeah. We only have two options now. First, we will wait until Richard comes out himself.
Ophis: By that time, he would have absorbed all the evilness and will be a lot powerful.
Primis: Yeah. Second, we destroy this cocoon.
Ophis: And let the evil spread throughout the world. Either way, it's his win.
Primis: ..................…
Primis remained silent and didn't reply. He also agreed with Ophis' words.
'Primis: I knew he would do that. But I thought he would do that after fighting with us for some more.'
[I see. By tough battle you mean, he will at least try to tire or injury you both before initiating his plan.]
'Primis: Yes. The tough battle isn't over. It's just delayed.'
[And also become more difficult.]
'Primis: Um.'
Ophis: What now? When he comes out, I don't think we will be his match unless we get rid of the World's suppression.
Primis: Then we just need more help to increase our chances of winning.
Ophis: Oh. You mean they both.
Primis: No, not them.
Ophis: Then----
Ophis stopped her words here as she realized something. She hurriedly looked around the cocoon as if looking for something. At first, she didn't find what she was looking for. Then she started to look around where they were standing. All around them were broken pieces of weapons. After looking around for some more, she finally found what she was looking for.
She hurriedly walked to one corner of the room, crouched down and picked it up. Then she turned and walked back to Primis.
Ophis: Is this it?
Primis: Yeah.
Said Primis before taking the "Dark Ball" from Ophis hand. When Primis and Ophis were destroying the weapons that were charging at them, Richard hurriedly threw "Dark Ball" at one corner of the room. He did that because of two reasons. First, to hide it from Primis and Ophis of course. He wanted them to think that "Dark Ball" was still with him inside the cocoon.
Now, why he didn't take the "Dark Ball" with him? That's where the second reason came from. Even if this was the enhanced version of "Dark Ball", if he will keep it with him then markings will also cover the "Dark Ball". As a result, the "Dark Ball" will break and pokémon inside will come out. And since the "Dark Ball" was destroyed, he could no longer control it and pokémon will go berserk.
Too bad for Richard. Because of Elemental-Sight all of his actions were within Primis eyesight. So, he saw through his plan quite easily.
'Primis: Oh Well. I was thinking of fighting Moltres later. But I guess I have to change my plans a little.'
[A Little? You............already expected this.]
'Primis: Well, this action of Richard was also within my calculations. Though the chances of this appearing were less than 20%. Good thing I have some back plans in case this would have happened.'
[...........................…By the way?]
'Primis: Hmm?'
[How many.........… backup plans.............................. do you have........................….in this case?]
'Primis: Eight.'
[...............................................................]
'Primis: Alright then----'
[Primis, you know what?]
'Primis: Hmm?'
[You are just like the MC of that world.]
'Primis: Which world?'
["Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious".]
'Primis: ..............................…'
[Well, in your case, I think it should be 'Impossibly' Cautious. Instead of Overly Cautious.]
Primis: Looks like we need to change plans,
Ignoring Twilight's words, Primis turned to Ophis.
Ophis: So, we will be fighting Moltres.
Primis: Yeah. However, it wouldn't be easy.
Raising one of brows, Ophis spoke.
Ophis: You are planning on destroying this ball.
Primis: Um.
Ophis: .....................If you do that Moltres not only will be released it will for sure go berserk.
Primis: It will. That's a foregone conclusion. Once it gets back its Will, it will remember everything it had gone through and done while being in their control. And I am sure they must have used Moltres to do a lot of the worst things.
Ophis: Mn. Because of that Moltres will definitely have a lot of hatred against humanity or the human race.
Primis: I know. And I also know that we will manage it somehow.
Hearing this, an enhancing smile appeared on Ophis face.
Ophis: You are right. We will.
Primis: ........................
For a second even Primis fell into trance witnessing that smile. Hurriedly using his willpower, Primis returned back to himself and took a sigh of relief.
'Primis: That was dangerous. I almost lost myself in those violet eyes and that smile.'
[Don't worry. I am sure you will get used to it soon. After all, just like you, Ophis show such smile only to you.]
'Primis: .....................…Well, that's true.'
Shaking his head, Primis looked at Ophis again.
Primis: Let's go out and release it. I don't want Moltres heat to affect the cocoon.
Ophis: Mn.
Then they both gave one last glance at the red cocoon before leaving the temple. Both remained silent on the way. Once outside, they saw the red clouds in the sky. These clouds were made of the excess blood that had evaporated. Moving their gaze, they looked in the direction where Sheng Ming and Ais were fighting their enemy.
It was not that hard. Even if we ignored Primis Elemental-Sight, the clouds at Sheng Ming and Ais place were more red than other places. Turning their gaze back, they both went towards the deepest part of the ruins.
Soon, they reached the same place where Ophis killed Medicham and Noivern. Primis took out the "Dark Ball" and looked at it.
Ophis: Primis.
Primis: Hmm?
Hearing Ophis, Primis turned to her. Once he did so, Ophis spoke.
Ophis: This is going to be our last battle on this island, right?
Primis: Yes.
Replied Primis before glancing at the direction of temple where the red cocoon is.
Primis: It will take a decade or some more years before he will come out after absorbing all that evil.
Ophis: ..................Those weapons were not the only thing that contain evil. It was the entire temple.
Primis: Um. You're right. Otherwise, it would have only taken 2-3 years for Richard to come out instead of more than a decade.
Ophis expressions turned grave.
Ophis: More than 10 years. This means by the time he comes out, he will be at least Level 8 or 9.
Primis: I know.
Ophis: In that case, I don't think Moltres alone could hel----
As if realization struck her, Ophis widened her eyes slightly before replying.
Ophis: By help, you didn't just mean Moltres. You mean the help of all three Legendary Birds.
Primis: Exactly. Only with the power of nature can you counter Evil. So, the ruler of fire, ice, and thunder is a must if we want to defeat Richard without getting rid of our World's Restriction.
Ophis: I see. So, do you know who or where are the invaders who have Articuno and Zapdos?
Primis: I am afraid not. We could have extracted Richard memories but not anymore. Anyway, we still have time to get our hands on the other two birds. For now, we need to take care of Moltres situation.
Ophis: Mn.
Nodded Ophis before turning her gaze at the "Dark Ball" in Primis' hand.
Primis: This time we don't need to hold back. Are you ready?
Ophis: Yes.
Primis then looked deeply at the "Dark Ball" and used "Mist Dispersion" on it. "Dark Ball" blinked in white light for a second before dispersing into mist.
*SSSS*
SWOOSH!!!
SWOOSH!!!
Primis and Ophis hurriedly moved back and put some distance. The moment they did so............
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A huge pillar of fire rose in the sky.
