Osiris laughed as daemons jumped out from all corners of the zenloft, breaking through the rails as they shed their skin. "Thelma get the kid, I'll handle the A ranks." Osiris said and Thelma ran toward the ground of the building.
The C-ranks, B-ranks and D-ranks who were all watching joined in to fight the daemons on the ground, bodies dropped as spells were cast with each side of the fight losing members rapidly.
"Fuck!," Emirus shouted and as he tried to follow Thelma but before he could make his way off the railing, Osiris cast an spell that sealed him and all the other A rank hunters on the side of the zenloft.
"Leaving early are we? I'm sorry but that would not be allowed." Osiris swung his blade at Emirus but the S-rank hunter dodged with grace, back stepping and falling into the two hunters behind him.
"What's the plan? the other A-ranks are scattered on missions meaning only the B-ranks are down there." Vaneer punched the barrier but his fist barely posed a threat to the act thirteen contraption.
"Raizel, you think you can get us outta here?" Emirus looked at the chaos on the ground, the students were battling daemons and the students weren't winning. B-ranks should be able to take out titan classes easily however, not only were destroyer classes mixed in with the bunch of titan classes. The number of the daemons was also overwhelming.
[Battle magic act seven: Rush burn], Val fought the daemons on the ground but because the students near him were fighting as well, he couldn't go all out with his magic. Val's magic was the more destructive of the A-ranks, his gift was one that mixed with his elements and magic type quite well but because of it's nature he couldn't use it in confined spaces or in situations such as this.
"The barrier's not allowing my magic to go through, we gotta get rid of the root." Raizel shouted at Emirus who was currently engaged in battle with Osiris.
"Yeah lemme just end this Leviathan class real quick, no biggie." Emirus let out a sarcastic remark before casting a spell. [Battle magic act eight: Great transcendent flame]. "Get rid of, sounds a little harsh doesn't it." [Battle magic act nine: Arctic wall]. Osiris used an ice spell to quickly stop Emirus's fire in it's tracks, he was buying time for Thelma and the other daemons to capture Igor but since they hadn't yet. He had to continue this dance with death.
[Battle magic act three: Echo wolf], Hex coughed up blood as he cast the spell. The effect wasn't much and the echo wolf barely dealt any damage to the daemon he used it on.
[Battle magic act three: Thunderbolt]. Igor finished off the daemon that was attacked by Ibis, there was chaos everywhere. The A ranks were being held up by Osiris and there was nothing he could do about it. "Where's Liric when you need him." Igor grabbed Hex and walked him toward the wall.
"They keep coming," Val grabbed a titan class and body slammed him so hard the concrete broke. "Igor help me clear the area, I can't fight if they're here."
"Emma! get Ashae and the others toward the side, Val can't go all out if they're here." Igor dropped Hex in a sitting position on the wall and then ran to grab another hunter.
"Igor!! Look out!" Val ran toward Igor but there was no way he was going to reach before Thelma who already grabbed Igor and tossed him toward a wall. "Fuck" Val tried going toward Igor but was held up by two destroyer classes. "Just my luck. Emma, Otto, Mael, Micah, help Igor as well as the other students."
"Just be quiet and stay still, it'll all be over when we know how to mass produce you." Thelma said as she choked Igor with one hand.
[Battle magic act eight: Drauvagast bomb], [Battle magic act four: Velocity shift]. Draco'nel shot a highly concentrated line of fire at Thelma however before it would reach her, Micah would also deal damage to her.
Moving at tremendous speed's due to the speed boost of the lightning spell, Micah slashed at Thelma's neck but it was just as he had predicted it. His weapon had broke on contact with the titan class but she still had one move to defend, that being the clan spell from Draco'nel.
"You know the one thing I like about the yin element," Thelma chuckled, [Battle magic act ten: Spatial exchange]. Immediately the spell was cast Thelma swapped places with Micah and the sleepy hunter got pushed through the walls of the zenloft by the spell of his friend.
"Micah!" Draco'nel ran after Micah.
"Well now for the main event." [Battle magic act ten: Spatial exchange] Thelma coughed up blood but that wouldn't matter, everything she did was for her master Osiris. Even if it meant her death. She had swapped the positions of herself with Osiris therefore leaving him alone with Igor.
"Tch," Emirus thought as Thelma swapped positions with Osiris. "Wait, Raizel try now."
Raizel grabbed Vaneer and concentrated to when they met up at the gates of Vancrest. [Support magic act seven: Checkpoint four] in an instant both Raizel and Vaneer were teleported to the city gates. The support spell could transport Raizel and anyone he was touching to anywhere they had been before within the last 48 hours.
"Now that they're gone, why don't I show you what you've been missing out on." Emirus smirked as he dashed toward Thelma and tore her heart out. "This barrier can only be broken from the outside and it seals specific types of magic if the user is in it. It's more of a trap than it is a barrier." He touched Ten's body, the A-rank hunter was still breathing so Emirus used heat to Cauterize his wound.
[Battle magic act twelve: Flame mosaic]. Val rushed at Osiris casting a spell that created a barrage of fire balls, each directed away from Igor and toward the leviathan class. "Pesky little A-rank." [Battle magic act seven: Great frost shield], ice created a giant wall that blocked Val's field of vision while defending against the attack and immediately hunter lost sight of him. Osiris appeared behind him kicking his torso so hard he flew into the ice wall, breaking through it like it was glass.
"Igor... Run." Val coughed as he crawled toward Igor, "Run, boy-" Before Val could utter another word Osiris stepped on his head, smashing it into a thousand bits. "Thank you for the meal," Osiris put his hands together as if praying before he devoured Val.
"Sleep."
Osiris suddenly became drowsy, what was happening? he could swear he had heard the voice before but from where? His mind blanked out and just before he went unconscious he slapped his ears so hard he bled from them. "So it's you..." Osiris looked at Otto who was standing behind him.
"Sleep! Sleep! Kill yourself! Stop moving!" Otto shouted out commands immediately Osiris started walking toward him. "Stay back!"
"This might've worked if I didn't know it's weakness. However, I was going to devour you anyway. Lord Merlo is the only one that should be able to command his subjects using his mere voice." Emirus put his hand through Otto's skull instantly killing him. "Thank you for the meal."
He faced Igor again.
The B-ranks had fallen, most of the C-ranks had fled to go bring the founders but the D-ranks held strong. Though their will was crushed to bits when Val and Otto were murdered right in front of them.
"Guy's we can win this, lets hold them off till help arrives." Luna said as she held Willow's lifeless body.
"We have to run, there's no winning this fight. There are about 20 titan classes and 4 destroyers." Leonard said while looking at Mael.
"I don't even have enough magic left to cast stardust... We gotta go Luna." Mael told Luna.
"We can't just leave Hex and the others here." Luna stood up pulling Willow's body to the side.
"Igor as well, for some reason it seems like the daemons are after him. See how they all stopped attacking us immediately the Leviathan class captured him." Mael looked around hoping to see Sven but immediately he didn't see the Ianbris he heard an explosion.
"Leave him the fuck alone." Sven threw a card that exploded at Osiris and the daemon came out the smoke like it never affected him in the first place.
"Leave him be, its me you want. Not him, he doesn't have anything to do with this." Igor coughed as he begged Osiris.
"It would seem you care deeply about this one." Osiris tapped Sven on the shoulder and smiled. "Don't worry I won't do anything to him. I promise." Osiris walked back toward Igor.
"By the way... the promise starts now." Osiris laughed as Sven screamed, the arm of the boy fell off and a drop of the gushing blood tapped Igor's face.
His heart rate sky rocketed, he could suddenly hear every little sound in Vancrest and his vision became so good he could see the port of Nox from where he was standing but he wasn't moving. The space around him suddenly turned grey and he could no longer hear anything. In front of him was a door made out of pure darkness. "Don't go there." A voice advised him. "That right there is pool of bloodlust that was locked away by someone who knew you didn't need it."
"Who are you?" Igor asked while looking around for the voice, he was subconsciously moving closer to the door and not by his own accord his hand grabbed the door by its handle.
"I'm sorry."
"What do you-" Igor felt the grey space disintegrate and now he could feel the air of the normal world but he couldn't feel his humanity.
An explosion of dark energy exploded from Igor and anyone that looked at him would have the same thought in mind. "Daemon." His body transformed back to how it was when he was born, his eyes sported different colors, red horns protruded through his skull but instead of a tail he was granted a grey skin tone which had red tattoo like markings on it.
"I'll kill you!" Igor disappeared and immediately he reappeared Osiris was thrown in into the walls of the zenloft, not even the leviathan class could gauge the speed of Igor. "Daemons, rip him to shreds but don't kill him." Osiris ordered the remaining daemons to attack Igor but almost as instantly as the command was issued 2 destroyer classes fell to the ground, each of them dying the same kind of death. Death by an almost unnoticeable attack to the heart.
