The Slayer stared at the three. He manifested two odachi in each hand crimson in color. He ran forward attacking the twins at once. They started to fight him two on one. He kept up pace and was beating them with relative ease. Shadow spike erupted from the ground impaling the guard from behind. Slayer then beheaded him for good measure. 'Now the other one will be enraged and will lose control' he thought seeing the twin burst out a roar in anger as he dashed forward like a berserk. Slayer kept up his defense for a while before finishing it. Cutting the Angel through the chest with both blades. He dropped to his knees and Slayer drove both blades into him killing him. Kicking him aside he walked to the middle of the room and stared at the Light King. "You think you're a hero don't you?" The king asked. Slayer shook his head. "I'm a villain. Takes one to kill one" he said merely.
The Light King soared towards Slayer they met with a clash. "You're nothing more than a slave! You are here to test my might! Then let's test it!" The king screamed pushing Slayer backwards. Fairy like creatures made from light buzzed around the king from thin air. They then made a B-line towards Slayer. He slashed through one and it exploded into flames. He flew back towards the wall. He redirected and planted his feet on the wall bouncing off to dodge another light fairy that exploded against the wall. Darkness then swirled as hands came out of the walls and went for the king. He slashed through the hands that came close distracting him from the fight. Slayer made his move as the fairies followed him. He moved like a blur as he was in front of the king before disappearing. A few fairies erupted in explosions on the king who groaned in frustration and pain. The Sun Shard starting glowing bright as he slashed a blade of light across the throne room that was massive and long. It cut through the walls and darkness creating an opening to the outside. Slayer lost the darkness to hide his movements now as the light from the sky poured in illuminating parts of the throne room. The wall crumbled further. Slayer pulled out his kunai and shot the blade up on the wall retracting him to it like a grappling hook. He pushed off the wall and manifested a big hammer slamming the head into the king's side. He flew back like a rag doll. He drove his sword into the throne floor to stop his movements. He slashed the hair and two white lines formed in thin air. Section of pillar and wall burst open from the cut. Slayer dodged in time and met the king locking them in battle. Odachi we're cut in half making Slayer to resort to his fists driving a fist into this gut, knee to the face, and a round house kick. All while dodging each swipe his sword. Slayer jumped up driving a fist across his face sending him flying back.
"What do you hope to gain from this Slayer? My people are happy, devoted, and reliant on my rule. You bring suffering to my people!" The Light King accused with such bitter voice and pain behind it. Slayer pushed him off manifested two more odachi. Quickly slashed through the king's left knee with one of his blades. He then slashed through his chest with the other. The Light King jumped back and more fairies formed around him and then clustered in front of him and Slayer. He threw his swords at the swarm while jumping back. The eruption was loud and violent as the throne room shook like a quake.
Slayer struggled to rise from the explosion. He sat up with a groan he held the face of the mask trying to fix his vision that was blurring in and out. He manifested two more odachi.
He flowed chi through them making one coated with shadow and the other erupted in flame. He could hear shouts down the hall. He then controlled the shadows to shut the doors and coated the door with shadow. His Mind Palace ached from this. He brushed the pain away and started walking towards the king that was sprawled out. His mask was unharmed, but his body was another story. He was missing a leg and arm on his left side. He made a half attempt to rise, but failed as he fell back on the stairs. He reached for the Sun Shard that was three feet from him. Slayer approached stabbing his forearm into the stairs with the shadow sword. He screamed in pain, "I will cleanse your city of the rot you have created" Slayer warned. The king sighed, "Just as well their all a cesspool of hate. I corrupted them for fun you see....elements don't defy your station. They made it so by listening to me" he laughed at this. "I have created a city of madness a reflection of me. I have ruled here for centuries bored. They are all so fucking needy!" He chucked, "With a city of play things well...who can resist that?" he laughed again. "Doesn't matter though. I die a martyr to them and a g...agh!" Slayer cut his rambling short stabbing through his throat with his flame sword. He slashed the blade to the side beheading him.
He approached the corpse examining the greaves on his legs. 'Must activate if you put chi in them. This will help with flying out of here' he thought putting them on his legs. He picked up the Sun Shard and sheathed it. He communed with the blade pushing chi into it, 'So your the new master huh? Well let's see what you got?' the sword stated. "What the hell does that mean?" he was met with silence. He clipped the sword on his belt. Approaching the body of the king his hand started to glow and he placed it on his sternum taking all his chi. He felt strength flow back into him. He removed the mask from the severed head seeing the face underneath. His face was wrinkled and grotesque with age showing upon his face. His mouth open showing yellowed teeth. Banging on the door could be heard as the guards were trying to make entry into the throne room.
He picked up the head and started walking towards the door holding the mask and head of the Light King.
/////////////////
Outside the throne room guards held a batteringram to get the door down. After a few attempts the boards cracked off a piece giving a visual into the throne room. They paused efforts to see what they could. When one tried to peer in he paused. With an armored finger he tapped in solid darkness.
Each tap of his finger it made a clang of metal on metal. "What is it?" One guard asked. "Darkness solidified by chi" an Angel said standing behind them. He was dressed in a military uniform. He had six wings, golden eyes, and short slicked back platinum hair. "Colonel Darius what do we do now?" One guard asked. Colonel seemed lost in thought scanning the walls. "We use plasma cannon on it. Guards form a line all those who use light element" men did as they were told and stood side by side. All at once they fired beams of light from their hands at the door. The door slowly dissentegrated and they were only hitting solid darkness. The darkness did not budge for awhile till finally it reversed down the hallway. "Stop!" The Colonol ordered. "Arms!" All angels unsheathed their blades with the Colonol. They made ready. They began to hear a thumping noise coming down the hallway.
It was a wet and mushy sound that got louder as it came to the entrance. Rolling out with blood splattering the ground was a severed head. Only Colonol Darius knew who's face they were looking at. "Light…King is dead" he mumbled. All mean stared a the head with heavier gazes knowing that information.
Colonol focused on the hallway when he saw orange light coming at them. Fire exploded at the lined up guards sending them everywhere. The Colonol was thrown back into a pillar. Another fireball came and he jumped up trying to take flight only to fall to the ground escaping the explosion as he rolled down the stairs. He had two broken wings that kept him from flying. He stood up weakly blood flowing from his head and nose. He had no weapon and clenched his fists as a figure walked through the flames. Darius could see a man wearing a red oni mask with white hair, cloak over his body. He had red glowing eyes that could be seen in the black sockets of the mask. He had a black and flaming odachi in each hand. He peered down at the Colonol Darius.
"Who the fuck is that?" He said out loud.
