"ARRGH, I've got a job to do for my uncle, you can't kill me!" Gliz yelled in frustration.
The man seemingly teleports in front of Gliz, then places his skeleton hand in the center of his chest, blowing him away 2 more shelves in a direct line. Bloodying his face and his arms as well.
"Perhaps that's true, if…" the man says calmly.
The man looked down at the gun Gliz dropped and witnessed a dark scarlet silhouette glowing around it. "Fascinating, very fascinating indeed, reinforced with a power similar to him?!" The man said before, he laughed as if he were unhinged.
Gliz struggled to his feet but could hear the man, he was confused about what he was talking about and he meant.
"Arrrgh!" Aika sounded as she pushed the shelf over her, which made all the other shelves as well.
She assumed the man was squished and ran over to Gliz, as he struggled to get up.
"Stay down!" Aika said seriously as she realized how bloody and hurt Gliz must've been. Gliz listens and falls to the ground.
Aika's guard lowered, allowing the wizard to teleport in front of her and blow her away towards the tables with the powerful force of his magic.
"Fascinating… my power works better on those without a special lineage.. huh?" The man said out loud as the others could hear him.
Gliz becomes frustrated with his powerlessness and his opponents confusing blabber, he yells "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SPECIAL?!" In frustration.
"Oh?" The man said gently and calmly as he stood in the air, studying Gliz
Suddenly walking in, Bryce and Cessair come to help. They had no idea until they walked and saw him.
"HEY, who are you?!" Cessair yells out bodily to the stranger.
"I am no one important to you, but to him…" Said the man as he descended, "Although, say goodbye to him." The man yelled once he teleported to Gliz.
The man held Gliz by his shirt as he faced towards the others, "Say goodbye to your friend!" Said the man holding Gliz.
Bryce and Cessair sprinted towards the man to try and attack him and save their friend, yet the man smiled and overpowered the pair with one wave of his hand once they were so close, whooshing them away like a fallen leaf on a windy afternoon.
"AAARRGH!" Yelled the man feeling intense pain from Ned's blade through him.
He whooshed away Ned, who with his blade blocked it, weakening the force somehow.
The man turned around, facing Ned, the man's facial skin melted away slowly as his began to glow with color, "Good thing I didn't use 100% yet, or else that blade would've been far more effective." The man claimed as his eyes glowed an ominous dark purple.
Ned prepared his stance as he thought of a strategy to defeat the stranger. All while worrying about the safety of his friends… "A stupid Semi-Quoan, a falsifier it seems at that, this won't be easy it seems." Ned notes in his head.
As he ascends in the air, the man laughs uncontrollably, "This will be far too easy, what is an assassin doing here?" The man asserts, then he continues laughing uncontrollably. Ned remains quiet and in thought.
The man raises his left arm, from out of nowhere and unexpectedly, a slender creature the height of seven feet comes out of a portal and its blade-like claw is halted and matched by Ned's blade. Gliz, Cessair and Aika, although critically injured, watched Ned battle and marveled at his ridiculous strength and speed. "The quiet guy, of course!" Cessair remarked.
"Mmmm, what the hell are you?" The man asks in annoyance as he watched, "say Goodbye!" Ned yelled as he decided to ignore the creature and head for the man instead, he pounced off the ground like a spider or cat towards the man, blade first.
Before Ned could reach the man, his creature grabbed Ned's foot and threw him some distance away. Gliz pounded his foot on the ground to gain his attention while Ned battled and battled.
"Oh?" The man asked in shock as he turned his attention away and to Gliz as he's aiming directly at him with his gun. Gliz aimed his gun and took his shot over and over, the man places one hand out before he does making the bullets hit some invisible wall, it seemed, Gliz became unsure of what to do next as he stopped shooting, unsure of himself, he thought "I can't even beat one guy?!" As he realizes how dire this situation was at that point.
Each lunge, pounce, hop, jump Ned attempted, the creature was too fast to dodge or avoid so the creature kept dragging him back.
Gliz fell to his knees, tears pouring down his cheeks, as he realized how doomed everyone is, how he failed his uncle, failed to take down the culmination.
Gliz's attention is caught when the man teleports his friend, Cessair, in his hands, holding him by his hoodie, like he did him earlier. Suddenly in a horrifying twist, cessair's flesh slowly turns to ash until all that's left of him is his decayed skeleton, then he tosses the skeleton to Gliz. As Gliz hears his friend's bones drop to the ground at his feet, uneasiness filled the air around him.
"CESSAAAIIRRR!" Gliz yelled with intense emotion, attracting the attention of the other three.
"Agh, the stupid pains again!" Bryce says in his head as he grabs his arms.
Ned battled and battled and continued fighting the seemingly undefeatable creature with speed that matched his own.
An abundance of tears fall after he witnessed his friend dying in front of him, and him being powerless to stop him, "If only I had more power!" Gliz says in his head as he drops to his knees.
"Hmmm, fascinating!" The man says as he watches Gliz mourn his friend, "We'll see if this does anything…" the man says in his head, "Hmm, kid, get ready for the rest of your friends to die!" The man yelled in an unhinged tone, he then began to laugh crazily again.
The man raises his hand up like before only this time, numerous portals open far from where they're fighting and the same creatures Ned is focusing on, beginning to swarm the library, running into and knocking down the book shelves with ease.
5 overrun Ned, while he's barely able to keep up with their attacks, many attacks injuring Ned.
Gliz stood up on his feet once again, and as he glares at the man, he yells with genuine emotion "NOOO, LEAVE THEM ALONE YOU DUMB BASTARD!!" As his vision grows dim and his heart turns protective, he's willing to sacrifice himself, limping but surely making his way towards the others. Tears dropping, blood dripping, hardly limping, Gliz makes a stand, he's decided to stop being so bland.
Walking towards Gliz and his friends, a heavy atmosphere fills the room, Gliz steps in front of his friends, holding his arms and legs out, his legs spread apart and his arms spread to his left and right, like a wall... "LEAVE THEM ALONE!" Gliz yells
Filled with emotion, filled with sorrow, filled with the will to carry out his uncle's plan and save his friends, he Focuses his attention on the monsters heading right for him and his trio as the trio catch sight of numerous miniguns breaking the laws of reality, floating directly behind Gliz.
The monsters begin to move faster and more coordinated, but it just makes the desire for Gliz to save his friends grow greater, these miniguns the trio sees begin to shoot and circulate around Gliz, each bullet seemingly vaporizing the part of the creature the bullet goes through, until all twenty are ash decorating the ground.
The guns turn their attention towards the man floating high in the sky, the man's face turns to one of intrigue as he holds both of his arms out.
The miniguns spray bullets as they move around Gliz, each bullet bounces off of The same "invisible wall" as before, yet an accountable number of bullets spew from these guns.
The man grunts as he shields himself from the guns with his invisible wall, "This kid is definitely…" said the man in his head as he seemingly struggled to hold his own against the barrage Gliz was giving him. Gliz suddenly falls to his knees, bloodied and battered, tears pouring and sweat dripping.
The man who summoned the creatures is put into shock by how powerful Gliz is and how much he underestimated the young man, so much so, that he descends and gets near to speak to him.
"Ahhh, yes, you've exceeded my expectations, but I see why… You're his kin, likely the youngest son of his telling by how you're incognizant of what I spoke of earlier as a child." Said the man in a sinister tone as he stared dead in Gliz's eyes.
Standing face to face with this nightmarish foe with an energy he never wanted to encounter, Gliz felt paralyzed, he felt shocked, he felt terrified. He felt like he was gonna die.
The man, with his hand regaining flesh, reaches out to him, attempting to place his hand on his shoulder.
"You'd make a fine member of the…" the man says but is interrupted by a blazing dagger speedily flying into the back of his head.
Gliz gasps and eyes widen as he feels intense sorrow, and after he hears the loud sound the blade made when it penetrated his flesh.
Gliz turns his head and sees Ned on one knee, panting and bloodied, looking like he's been through hell. He turns his head towards Bryce and Aika, feeling their confusion and powerlessness, he clenches his teeth and grabs his head before running away, in silence.
Bryce tries to catch up to him but it's too late, he runs out the library in silence and ignores Bryce yelling from the top of his lungs "It's not what you think!!!!!!" To him. Without a word, he ignores his friends, like they completely don't exist.
Ned, sweaty, bleeding from his nose and legs, limping, makes his way to Bryce's side, both watching Gliz run down the sidewalk while holding his head. "That kid has issues GOING ON!" Ned remarks in a serious tone, "HIIMM?!?!" Bryce and Aika angrily yell simultaneously.
