Natas and Asher set sail on the exorcist's ship
"Where do we hit first? I got a bloodthirst" Asher said
"Don't worry we'll be there soon?" Natas said
"Master I have eyes on the target," Rhys said
"We could have used teleport I would have said bring us forth," Asher said
"As fast as that would have been I wouldn't want the attention of the exorcists just yet," Natas said. Rhys left the steering and conjured a black shirt and trousers and handed them to Natas who went below deck to change and came back and paused as though he had forgotten something and cut his hair with his blade, high enough for it to show its spiky
"Why cut your hair? Was it cutting off the air?" Asher asked
"It was bothersome to maintain," Natas said. The ship stopped at a port where only one guard stayed on the ground and walked up to the ship
"Let us pass lower class" And the guard went back to his post
"Hypnosis that once controlled nations," Rhys said examining the guard who sat no motion whatsoever
"He can do much more let's go, Rhys," Natas said and on walking into the city found it empty as empty, not a living soul could be heard but the intensity of magic was thick in the air. They stopped walking after sometime
"Where are they? The magic is strong I daresay" Asher said smiling and stopped
"Really-" Natas said holding his sword up deflecting an incoming dagger.
"Why can't we have a civil conversation," Rhys said a small flame in hand and threw it and it exploded taking out streets.
"We're not here for the territory we know your story we need to showcase his glory," Asher said jumping backwards avoiding a barrage of daggers
"No need to be gentle I guess," Natas said a ball of lightning at hand and he threw it up and it covered the landscape in a lightning barrage. When the dust settled a girl same age as Natas long flowing black hair dressed in a red shirt and skirt katana in hand looked at them with her silver eyes
"You destroyed my home," she said
"Are you sure?" Natas said and dust filled the place and died down everywhere was intact even Asher stepped back at the sight
"If I had reason to kill you I would have I'm only here to recruit you," Natas said
"Scum," She said
"Say that again," Rhys said in disbelief
"Scum; that's what all men are scum they use you, abandon you, treat you as a whore, claim the dominant one and oppress society men are scum disgusting scum and scum needs to be gotten rid of"
lightning covered her katana she put a leg back held her katana in tight and disappeared Asher got slashed on the chest and Rhys blocked an attack Natas stood in place unfazed Asher healed up completely
"You noticed too? That attack didn't you?" Asher said
"lightning speed, a blade that can cut through even the smallest of things Bloody Mary the executioner," Rhys said and looked at Natas
"Is the fight over?"Rhys asked
"Yeah," Natas said
Asher heard this and looked in front to the body of Mary sprawled on the floor steaming and broken sword in hand. She got up staggering clothes torn body healed
"What just happened?!?" she asked wide-eyed
"As I said if I wanted you dead I would kill you I need you," Natas said
She staggered up and looked on in shock as her face was covered by a hand and slammed back down to the floor
"I don't want to kill you, Mary, because I need both you and your blood but if you want to continue to defy me go ahead your death is guaranteed, "Natas said kneeling beside her and lifting his hand and holding hers then slashed it and drank the blood. He got up pulling her up with him hand in hand
"Now do we have an agreement?" Natas asked
"Yes" She replied
Natas smirked and let go of her hand
"We still have one more finger nearby" Natas snapped his fingers and a carriage appeared
"Oh I see we're going to get him, Rhys said and ushered them in.
Aaran took Bexley home with him and they talked in the dining in near whispers
"So 40 years is missing?" Aaran asked still in disbelief
"Yes it is in fact, in my time it's known as 'the true dark ages' it's scary to know this I understand but right now we have to face this head-on would you tell me more about the devil's body?" Bexley said
"Of course"Aaran cleared his throat
"Essentially it made just like the human body the ranking is according to how strong they are from the head to toes but unlike the human body it has 6 wings"
"6 wings? Don't angels have 2?"
"Due to contrary belief, there are 9 hierarchy of angels each with a different appearance and role Lucifer was a cherub meaning he had 6 wings the highest rank and angel could get"
"I see so the wings hold much power I presume?"
"Too much they are harder to find and the most deadly to fight"
"The fingers power how is it ranked? So we know what to expect"
"It depends on the finger just like average fingers power between them varies the strongest being the middle finger the weakest being the thumb"
"Where does Natas fall?"
"If I were to scale him to the body he would be its muscle and skeleton"
"Which means he's strong?"
"Very strong, "Aaran said contemplating the situation
"The missing century is something else," Bexley said
"Didn't you say only 40 years were missing?"
"No earlier I said-"Bexley paused
"I said 40 didn't I?"Bexley asked
"Yes," Aaran said
"The situation just got worse," Bexley said. They paused contemplating the future unknown.
"What's wrong Asher?"Rhys asked
"A finger owns this? What a life of bliss!" Asher said referring to the large castle courtyard with people walking around merchants bargaining all sorts of spices, silks and oils and nobles walked around talking of their exploits. They walked down a path of guards into the palace where on the golden throne sat a woman with long red hair in a green dress looked down on them
"Fairy queen Becky," Natas said
"Life in exchange for prosperity and beauty," Rhys said
"Are you hurt woman?" Becky asked avoiding the others
"No," Mary said
"What do you want?" Becky asked
"To-" Natas was cut off
"Servants should keep shut when not spoken to Beckyto BeckyyThen why do you talk back to your master like that" Natas said. Becky chuckled and got up swords in her hands
"It seems I need to teach you a lesson in insolence," Becky said and the guards marched around Natas
"Don't harm the girl?" Becky said
"You men of foolish pride who stand tall on the ground dead fall," Asher said the guards dropped like flies
"Asher the poet this is my territory get lost," Becky said
"We're not here for that we have come to graciously add you to our cause," Rhys said
"I don't work with men," Becky said
"You've got it mistaken work for master Natas work with us," Rhys said
Balls of fire forming around him Asher conjured golden armour with a large sword 5"4 in height and as broad as 5 feet Natas and Mary disappeared
"Too cowardly to attack," Becky said
"He allowed this chance to have a dance" Asher said
Becky smirked then was out of sight and came to Asher's side Asher swung his blade like it was a toothpick and hit something to the wall and saw a huge rectangular shield.
It survived my full strength she is dangerous.
"You're the index and she's the ring finger correct? I'm the middle finger so you don't have to worry we can take her"Rhys said. The shield faded away
"A proud statement," Becky said with disgust
"When it comes to fighting for my master I never lose" and with that, the fireballs barraged Becky who evaded them with ease
"I expected more" Becky said mockingly and was replied with a smirk. A fireball came at her from behind she flipped and it exploded beneath her and as she brought her head up she was met with a barrage of more
They don't stop till they hit their target!? Becky thought. Asher struck his sword into the floor and vibrations and sound waves rang through disorienting her and blurring her vision the fires rained down on and on then it all stopped.
"Get ready the real fight starts" Rhys Said. Becky got up fully healed but the dark aura surrounding her a blast of air sent them back
"Your not the only one with tricks," She said snapping her fingers and a wheel cycle of spears came sent to them Asher took them out in a swing and swords rained from the top impaling him Rhys shot a blast of bicycles and were broken by Becky who barely flicked her wrist she conjured an army of werewolves which Rhys took out with a tornado of flames and was stabbed from the back. Becky lowered her guard sighing.
"I expected more," she said and rubbed her forehead and coughed up blood she became extremely weak unable to move and knelt gasping for air. She looked up and saw all of them unscathed and Natas drinking blood from her hand.
"Really if you had gone all out from the start you could have lost with grace," Rhys said
"My sound wave almost sent you to the grave," Asher said
"The moment he initiated the sound attack you lost but you were in a hallucination where you won," Natas said
Becky gritted her teeth and clenched her fists
"I'll work for you," She said
Another finger added in a day 3 fingers were brought together the others were yet to be found and history to be written.....How fun don't you think?
