It was day and lugh was the first one up, he walked out to receive air and then he sensed a strong mana presence around, it was a monstrous one and another fact, it was the same as the one that woke him from his slumber, he was shaking and he could feel himself trembling, reizel shouted to him.
'Boy, you have to run, this energy though its still young, its the same as one of the 10 Lords of the Holo, they are the strongest personalities in the world, Elemencia has one, I used to be that one, this power is on another level, you can't take him."
Lugh still trembling, asked reizel, "how did you acquire such a power."
Reizel replied him, 'as the tell tale said, I killed the first pillars Supreme and gained the Holo, but a tip of the power, that is one of the ways to gain the power, the Holo is a life-force, it is granted to great leaders, to the just, pure and powerful, once you get it you will be tested, if it rejects you, you die, but if it accepts you, you will gain another skill, Haki!!, this skill bends all of reality and defies all the odds, and any with this skill is not to be provoked, the presence you felt is the Haki and it's not yet mastered but even in its weakened state it still trembles others, you have to run.'
Lugh turn to wake everyone and they all got up even Payne who was still very weak, they were all up and looking for a way to get past the energy undetected, and then Payne said to lugh, "it's him the one who did this to me, I can't let him leave I have to fight."
Payne slowed them down and the energy was getting closer, lugh had no other option than to knock him out, he then told Quinn to transform and to take Payne and Rain out of the forest, and that they should wait with a portal ready for their escape, the Fox ran, and as they were leaving a slash attack came towards them, lugh noticed and immediately broke the attack, he felt pain while he did and smiled saying that he met the one person that could actually beat him.
"You stopped the attack, I'm guessing your the vessel."
"Yes indeed, you're the one who almost killed my kin, I would have loved to have you as an ally but as it is It can't be helped, I can't forgive you for what you did."
Lugh gave out an intimidating look, the other person says to lugh.
"He's still alive?, oh well, I'm Saga, from the fourth pillars ark and I'm the offspring of the sixth pillar supreme which you killed, prepare to die, light and darkness wavers not my souls, death be the goal of they who go against me, I curse myself and I curse thee, if thou shall smite me, death shall be on our souls, I summon thee death scythe, weapon of the soul forged from my bones." His scythe appears and he rushes for lugh.
"Nature's Predation— earth blades, infinity wall, lugh stood were he was, after he put up the infinity wall, Saga slashed and slashed but couldn't get through the defence and he increased his power,
"HAKI!!, strength of the gods." it was clear to lugh that Saga had up his game, he became even more aware of his surroundings, Saga was fast but lugh could see and read his every movement, but he continued until he broke through and landed a blow on lugh, lugh fell back first and was injured by the punch, Saga came closer as lugh tried standing.
'His punch really hurt, I remember the goddess saying the spirit orb would grant me any and every power let's try a sword.'
He stretched out his hands and shouted "spirit orb!!."
Because his mind was fix on a sword instead of the orb a sword appeared, he smiled and looked at Saga saying,
"Let's try this again."
He ran toward Saga and went for a slash but Saga blocked with his scythe and it cracked, Saga saw this and was annoyed going for multiple slash waves, lugh broke through them all and came with a thrust, he broke the scythe and sliced off Saga's hand, Saga jumped back vexed as he was he screamed,
"HAKI!!, Regenerate." He releases a Dark Aura and then his hand started sealing back with the blood and suddenly noticing how dulled Saga was at the moment, lugh sprinted away, Saga attempted to chase after him but it was futile, lugh sighted Rain from afar and went towards her direction, they got into the portal and it closed leaving Saga behind.
Saga stood down and smiled saying, "maybe not today then."
Inside the inter-dimensional window Rain tried picking out the portal to demon region, she was confused on the window to open, lugh looked at her and then Reizel told him how to help her.
"you can do this, just let go of your worries and concentrate, it takes just one move, Visualise where you want to go and open the portal."
She did exactly as he said and gradually an oval window of demon region open showing where they left from, they hopped into it and appeared right before the regional gates, Rain offered that they head towards the Inn she stayed at and rest while also butting in that lugh's injury just healed up and he needed to rest, lugh agreed and they moved on to the inn.
At the inn Payne looks to lugh, "You.... Always there to help at the last minute, thanks for stopping Rain from crying out her eyes, honestly I thought I was dead, turns out even in your slumber you care for the family you have, thanks."
Lugh smiled and said to him, "Don't get ahead of yourself, we still have a mission to take care of."
Rain looked to lugh and said, "why did we come to demon region, what do you have for us."
"We are going to the vampires domain, I have business, urgent things I need to deal with, and allies I need to recruit."
