Darius drew out his sword and charged at Barcus. He stiked him with his sword severally, releasing a powerful energy wave with each strike. But the stikes weren't enough to hurt him. The force was just enough to make Barcus move back slightly, it didn't even leave a scratch on him. Darius stopped when he realized that none of his attacks are having any effect on him. He was confused at this. Barcus chuckled devilishly and clapped his hands together, which created a huge wave that blew off Darius and Angela. Angela screamed in pain at the impact, she and Darius fell hard on the ground. Barcus ran towards Darius, the ground shook as he ran. Darius quickly create a protective shield around him. Barcus held the shield with his palm, and tightened his hold on it. The shield began to crack all over, and Darius channelled more energy into it but the shield couldn't take Barcus tightening hold and kept on cracking all over. " Your father gave you a lot of his power, but l am much stronger than he was. Much stronger" Barcus said as he crushed the shield completely. Darius fell back and coughed out blood. Barcus slapped him hard, which sent him flying and hit the wall. Barcus walked up to him and threw a punch at him , Darius was quick to create a shield around him but the punch shattered the shield and hit him hard. He fell back and groaned in pain. When he saw Barcus walking towards him, he quickly stood up on his feet and charged at him with full force. He attacked him with everything he got but none of his attacks had any effect on him. Darius was confused , how come none of his attacks have any effect on him. Then his sister's words came to his mind,. "father gave us the power to activate the seal he placed on the sword he stabbed into Barcus forehead. He said only the sword can kill him", now he realizee where he got it wrong. His father gave him the power to unlock the seal on the sword. So that he could use the sword to kill Barcus. The power he gave him can't defeat Barcus.
Darius jumped and attacked Barcus on the spot where the sword is, and immediately Barcus felt dizzy. Darius then confirmed that the spot where the sword is, is his weak spot. He jumped again to attack him there but Barcus understood his plan. He slapped him away, Darius was sent flying again, causing him to hit the wall and fell hard on the ground. Barcus was about to crush him with his foot when Darius's armour left his body and transformed. He attacked Barcus using super speed, striking him at different places swiftly. But none of his attacks had any effect on Barcus. Barcus soon caught him his hand, " you must be the legendary living armour, why are you with a weak mortal like him" he said with disgust as he brought it up to his face. "That's none your business, Barcus" the armour snapped. "I can let you live if you kill him for me" said Barcus. "No, l'll pass. I would rather kill you instead" the armour snapped. Barcus laughed devilishly. "Then you should die then" and with that he crushed the armour into pieces. "NO, Barcus you will pay for this" Darius growled. He got up to attack again but Barcus punched him away, Darius was sent flying again, causing him to hit the wall and fell hard on the ground, he coughed out blood again. Barcus was about to hit him again when, "STOP" Angela shouted. Barcus turned to her and smirked. He matched towards her, "no, Barcus leave her alone, don't you dare touch her" Darius shouted, he tried to get up but fell back. Angela brought out her flute and began to play it. Barcus halted in his tracks for a moment confused at her action. He watched her play the flute for a while, then he went her and bent down to bring his face close to hers. "Why are you playing that flute?" He asked her. "My father gave it to me, he said that if l am ever in danger, I should play the flute , and he would come and save me," she said in shaky voice and continued to play the flute. Barcus laughed hard but there is no humor in his laugh. Darius managed to got up, he jumped and stabbed Barcus at the back of his head. Barcus groaned at the pain, he grabbed him and held him tight in his hand. "You are so pathetic and pitiful" he said before threwing him at the tree.
