UNKNOWN LOCATION
A huge man sat on a wooden chair with his legs atop the table while he rested back on the wall behind him. In his hands was a huge book opened to a spot where red ink was seen amidst the other black ink writings.
His bald head gleamed from the light of the above mana lamp while his right arm scratched the scruff on his jawline while he read through the words on the book.
His face was squeezed into a frown showing the disbelief he had in what he was seeing. Yet he knew it was true. Why. Because it was in his record. Nothing ever showed up in his record to be wrong later on.
This wasn't the reason why he was frowning though. His frown was due to the next log entry after the red line of words.
It came in black but still were emboldened to show it's urgency. In fact it was only two words. Both saying the same thing. Both having the same meaning.
Error.
The baldy stood after a few minutes of glaring at the error without content before slamming the thick leather onto the table top. It was still unsure how this table could suffer his onslaught at it's created from the pure strength of the bang. Yet it remained standing.
"Ackeron!" his voice assaulted the ears of all who were close by on in the vicinity making moat either wince or shake in fear.
"What happened?'
" Who annoyed the boss?"
"What did Ackeron do now?"
This we're various murmurs that greeted his ears from outside the room he was in. His ears pointed and furry like an animals twitched at it but he kept silent as he waited.
The door shoved open with speed as a thin lanky boy scuttled in his breaths harsh and heavy. It was obvious the speed burst he'd used to arrived here evident from the black scorchings on his fabric.
"Send word to the Tivas Alku of Solace city. Have him investigate the Desolate forest." he ordered with a wave of his hand.
"On it great one" Ackeron turned eager to flee before the great one remembered something he wouldn't like for him to remember.
"And..."
Ackeron stiffened his heart pounding as he turned back to the badly who's ears twitched while watching the boy who looked like a fourteen year old.
"...do tell him to be secretive about it. And relay what he finds instantly. "
Ackeron sure that the message was over vanished in a blur as he didn't want another delay. It would possibly be something about him this time.
The baldy oblivious to the younger ones thoughts focused his gaze back to the leather book on the table.
"What happened there exactly. ?" he pondered as he narrowed his eyes. Something told him that whatever they found wouldn't be good. After all Errors in his books had never be good.
Sighing he rose pushing the book aside and pulling out another book while ignoring the subtle glow on the first book's title that we're engraved in green and red letters that made up just two words.
Beast Record.
Ackeron as he ran could feel a subtle heaviness in his chest that he didn't quite understand. A thought was of it escaping punishment for showing feelings for the boss (baldy's daughter.) Yet he knew it wasn't it.
As a messenger, he very well could tell when a message carried bad or good news. This one he bore had none but still it felt like the tip to the start of something.
What?. He wasn't sure. But from the increasing heaviness in his heart he knew even as his paws shot him forward to the great Hanko tree that something messed up was bound to come.
"Aish whatever. As a good messenger. I'll surely be safe. Whatever could harm a good from that measly planet any way" he reassured himself just a he spotted the tree and then appeared right in front of it. The tree was small. Very small. Just reaching up to his knees.
It was more a plant than a tree but obviously it was a tree.
"Well lets see what this is all about then" he murmured placing his fingers on the tree bark. A sliver of gold energy shot into it and down disappearing into the roots.
A leaf wrinkled and then burst into ash just as he stepped away. The message now sent he turned his attention to where he could find Rila.
"I'm coming love. Today you'll be falling for me." Still standing there an afterimage of himself left the spot and disappeared in a flash. A few moments later the real body or apparently the after image left behind faded away.
*******
OUTSIDE MITAWAS - OUTSIDE THE 4TH WALL
An explosion racked a spot in the void from which two bodies flung out. One white and the other gold. The white being was first to rise as a gein that was getting annoying to see stretched on it's cheeks.
A crack appeared in the space where the explosion had been but none paid it any attention.
All of Erizos attention was on the thing. Earlier he had used the movement skill Flaize glaze to catch Soldier White unawares. But die to Berus being busy thinking of how to kill the order being he hadn't seem the update to the skill info till now.
FLAIZE GLAZE
Create a spin of combo attacks that form mirages seen but unavoidable. Ends with a last deadly strike with a fifty percent chance of giving critical hits.
DIVINITY - 0.003. (Created while using divinity. Use of mana will lead to lesser or failed effects)
Apparently he needed less divinity than he had used to be moderate. As such he had been fast. Too much in fact and shot right past the thing. Soldier white though had moved at the same time obviously attempting to catch him by surprise. Both had smashed head first the clash creating the explosion that was just seen.
'Alright. Again. But with lesser use.' with the comment he moved.
He was right next to it now. With a fist coated in divine flames he drilled a punch onto it's back. The fire and the force of the punch elicited a shriek of pain that was like music to Erizos.
Soldier white stumbled forward a bit but Erizos wasn't about to let it attack back.
With two flaming fists he pounced. A random punch to the head with his left fist. A right hook that had it stumbling sideways and into the left hook then a sweep that took it off its feet.
Not kike it mattered since both were floating. Yet the spartan kick sent Soldier white flying back. A familiar rulerune appeared behind it where a huge mountain spawned from.
Here was where it slammed into.
Erizos floated down onto the huge mountain setting his feet on it's rocky terrain eyes locked on Soldier white.
The order being rose to its feet and glared back at Erizos then it grinned.
'Anything Berus?'Erizos asked. The grin was unnerving him more than he would admit.
[I'm not sure. The order and chaos beings grow stronger by consuming each other. How exactly that would apply to you I'm not sure since you are divine]
"No information of All-fathers able to devour tbe other energies?"
[None.]
"Well. Keep thinking. I'll see what I can do on my own". He answered hurriedly as Soldier White disappeared.
With a gaso he activated flaize glaze again. Simultaneously a ding sounded in his head.
[Atleast This Much Is Usable ]
[FLAIZE GLAZE HAS BEEN EVOLVED]
FLAIZE GLAZE
Create a spin of combo attacks that form mirages seen but unavoidable. Deals x2 of speed damage.
Ends with a last deadly strike with a fifty percent chance of giving critical hits.
At a long range from enemy make a series of rapid steps that puts one right where he needs to be within striking range
DIVINITY - 0.004. (Created while using divinity. Use of mana will lead to lesser or failed effects)
Erizos grinned as he moved. Disappearing and appearing right next to Soldier White who's grin faltered for a minute. It's eyes further widened as a golden sword was revealed in Erizos grip descending rapidly onto it.
" I like that look on you. Though I hate it being my face". Vailex descended as Soldier White moved attempting to dodge. Dodge it did and right as it got its balance on the ground it veered in to strike with a clawed hand.
Apparently it could keep certain manifestations as long as it had once seen it.
Yet Soldier boy was wrong as the move was yet to complete. After all Flaize glaze was a combo and movement skill. Vaildx reeled back abruptly as if it lacked momentum from its first strike. Like a whip it lashed back to the order being who got wide eyed on noticing it.
With a turn it extended its hand to stop the sword. It's hand stretched out creating a white sword that mirrored Vailex and blocking the strike.
Yet it shuddered as it felt something slip into its chest from behind. Then it felt heat sear through its insides before white and gold flames burst out its orifices as it howled a deranged and pained cry.
Vailex was sentient enough to do battle on its own. Erizos wielding it was simply to create an opening which he had gotten to attack from behind. Now with his left palm stuck inside its back and Vailex pressing onto its sword from front it was stumped.
Even as it burned Solder white twisted its head and neck creepily to stare at Erizos. It's head then dripped into liquid white, followed by its body as it tried to get out of his grasp.
"The fuck." Incensed Erizos created a wave of divine fire that began burning away at the things body.
It's screeches rent the air as its body rapidly congregated and reformed into Tepes. The White Azkolve pounced like a true beast with madness in its eyes. The fire while not enough to kill it gave it more pain than it could bear.
As such its fury had risen. The thing was definitely trouble.
"No matter." Erizos sighed and charged forward too. His steps leaving great indents in the ground of the mountain top.
All -father and Order being slammed into each other. One clawing and biting ravenously while the other held the creature at bay while slamming fists of pure flames onto its head inciting its anger.
"Die you tenacious bastard"he chanted with each punch he delivered. Just as he raised his fists to ram it down again Erizos spotted something. Something that made Berus almost face palm as he spoke.
[I know how to kill it now. But. You'll be in a whole word of pain.]
"But I'll live"
[Yes]
"Spill". And information flowed into his head. Erizos cocked his head looked at the still rampaging Soldier white and chuckled.
"That actually makes a bit of sense".
