I came up with a theory. As i observe his first attack "Golden Thorns of rose" I have some suspicions. Can it be summoned everywhere he wished to?
And i remembered that he struggled blocking Emily's "Arrow of Melody". So if we can hit him with emily's shot while off guard. We can defeat him.
"Hey emily, can you do another Shot?" I asked.
"I can but it might be my last shot as I'm exhausted from the aura drain."
We need to be more cautious about this as emily only has one chance to land a shot.
"I'll give a signal to shoot the arrow."
She nods afterwards.
I jumped down to face him. I'm not sure or accurate about the possibilities but if we were not careful we might die here.
"Having the high grounds is useless. It's better to fight me face to face. Now what will you do?"
I gripped my scythe and focused my aura. I'll release black smoke to cover the whole area.
"Defeat you of course."
I dashed forward emitting black smoke every step. The smoke covered the whole area. I can sense his whereabouts and his area of perspective inside the smoke.
"Where are you?! You filthy rat"
I now realized that my black smoke not only disrupts their vision but senses as well.
I got behind him. "I got you NOW!" I shouted as charging up the aura while gripping down my scythe. I prepared to strike him down.
He turned around to parry my attack. "You're truly one idiot." I opened an opening of black smoke behind him revealing his back to emily.
Emily was charging up his attack... She released the attack. It was powerful, deadly and a one shot kill. It was fast, Emily Put all of his last energy within that single shot.
.
However Will, Blocked the attack with his arm and released the arrow towards me in his other arm. It hit me critically. I parried it with enough time but, it got me good.
"This is the power of greed. I will steal the attacks and it will be mine."
.
My vision was blurred from the attack. I cannot hear what Will was saying. Emily was screaming at the ledge... i could not hear anything...
My hearing came back slowly.
"You did put up a great fight but it wasn't enough. I'll remember you as the one to see me in this form aside from my king."
He stabbed my heart. The sword went through my body. I felt the aura drainage.
"You want a painless death? As if I'll give you one. I'll drain your aura first."
I closed my eyes. I saw my life flash before my eyes as I'm about to die. Will this be my end? I can hear Emily screaming.
.
I heard a voice, deep inside me while being unconscious.
[Will you die pathetically like this? How pitiful. You becoming my master? You're not even close to fully knowing my identity even my power.
Will you choose to die in this place? Becoming like those braindead beings? Are you involving your human friend, Emily?]
He's right. If I die now it will be pathetic, I'll involve my friend...
[What's your choice? Give up yourself for now and set me free for the moment I kill Greed. Or dying while killing humans unconsciously... Pick wisely]
I have no other choice than giving up, it was a huge gamble Trusting something that I don't even know... But, If we will die here without even putting up a fight, then that will be pathetic, Isn't it? Then I'll bet it all here... Entrusting something that I have no knowledge of.
"I'll give myself up for the time being..."
[Wise choice human. I'll kill this bastard.]
He laughed.
From emily's point of perspective...
"It's time to die lady. I'll make sure that you'll rest in peace. I'll give you a painless death." Will inviting emily to die with open arms.
Emily was shock by my current situation. I was stabbed inside the heart, bleeding intensely, Eyes staring at the ceiling with such pale skin and face, with the expression of a drained man.
She has no more hope. She tried to shoot him with arrows, yet they're not infused with any mana.
"You're wasting time, lady. Waste more time and you will receive a painful death."
She was scared to die. She want to live. She screamed my name with all her might.
"EUN PARK!! YOU GODDAMN BASTARD STAND UP!
STAND UP, DON'T DIE PATHETICALLY!"
The greed patriot Will laughed loudly.
"Your screaming to a dead? How pitiful. You'll meet him soon don't worry~"
.
The atmosphere got intense. Pressured and terrifying aura filled the room. My body stood up. The bleeding stop and the wound recovered on it's own. Yet I'm not the one controling the body itself.
"What the? How are you still alived from that?! I drained your aura!"
Emily was happy to see me alive but... she got terrified seing my apperance and the constant change that happened towards my body and soul.
.
My eyes turned From Brown to Red. Aura was leaking everywhere. I'm not me... it was something or someone...
"Answer me! WHO ARE YOU?!" Will asked while panicking.
"I'll drain your aura and shred you into pieces."
Will lunge at intense speed. He appeared behind me.
"Even if you survive my attack earlier. It's still you."
As he struck me with his sword. My body vanished from its position appearing behind Will.
"What th-"
My body kicked Will crashing towards three pillars. Will was shocked.
My body released a black shadow arm grabbing Will's body. It dragged him back. As my body grabbed Will, He saw the terror of the aura.
He saw the demon which he had never seen or experienced before. It was truly terrifying. A blood curdling moment.
Will try to escape from the grab where he was successful. He backs away trembling in fear. Legs shaking and face turning pale.
He tried to flee but he can't. As the shadow zone filled the room's floor. He can't move his legs from the zone. It sucked up his legs.
The one controling my body spoke. The voice was so deep.
[Greed... You are truly inferior than i expected. Your are not even qualified to be a vessel for avaritia.]
He stood their terrified. He himself who was confused not knowing who's the one controlling me.
Whilst emily getting chills and scared about the sudden changes in me.
[It's time to say your prayers before entering hell.]
Spikes were appeared from the shadow zone. It filled the whole room.
The body did not handle the thrust of spikes. It cause for the explosion of the body. Blood spread everywhere. And crushed organs were scattered.
It was trully a brutal way to die. As for emily well. She cannot process anything that happened.
As the shadow zone vanish. My body fell from exhaustion.
[Looks like my time ended huh? Well goodluck knowing my ability without dying. Idiot]
The vouce vanished and i fell unconscious. As for emily well. She jumped down. She was quite hurt yet she tries to go and help me.
She carried me away from the house. The room created from greed started to crumble away. We completed our first mission...
It's emily's fault accepting a exorcism like this...
