"So this thing is doing shit without my content now?" Kris inquired in the same lifeless tone and expression. "Whatever. Let's get this over with."
He was now in ruin city different from Trelawn. Buildings were destroyed and, debris and pollution filled the air. The sky was flame like red while the sun was orang white with a black spot on the side, and the clouds were crimson. This is what a true apocalyptic world should like. A world that would soon fall of the edge.
Suddenly - in the wasteland - rain began to fall, still housing its pure and fresh texture. The crimson clouds began to take over the flame-like sky. In no time, the rain began to pour heavy a on the polluted landscape.
In the far off distance, a being began to wake and open its eyes.
"Huh? The hell?!" The being inquired and exclaimed.
It looked at its own cold and pale hands. It had mint hair and bright cyan glowing eyes. The being pale skin was covered by an attire of a cyan shirt, covered over by white hoodie with strings. It wore a jean pants that was white and showed snow flakes designs on it. This creature was also bare feet.
It was Eden.
"Why the heck do I look this!?" Eden inquired with a pure hint of confusion. "And what in the world am I wearing?!"
The next second, Eden's outfit changed. He no longer had a hood; a pull-over that extended to his waist. Also, instead of being bare feet, he had on a pair of white shoes.
"Much better!" He said as he stood up in the pouring rain.
Suddenly, a dark figure rushed passed him at such a fast speed every complementing the flames following behind the entity.
"Efriet?" Eden inquired with a shrug and a confused expression.
Efriet had the same attire as Eden before he changed it, except everything was black with an a red shirt. The jacket atid paints and she had burn marks on them, making him look like a slick looking hobo. Like Kris and Eden's, his shoes contradicted with theirs, being black but still looking like an air force. He had a almost torn off hood that cover his slick combed back, black hair.
"Run," he said calmly while glaring at Eden, with his fire like eyes
"Woah? Eden inquired before he heard, something like a strike of lightning behind him.
Behind him was Kris dashing towards them with his katana - Transcendent - infused with a lightning-like aura and a golden aura which was provided by the Lord's Saya.
"Holy shit..." Eden said sarcastically.
Efriet suddenly came back while running backwards, cartoon-like with a blank face. He grabbed Eden by the collar and then dragged him.
"Dunce, I said run!" Efriet yelled with a calm expression and but a hint of annoyance.
The two began to run away from Kris who was in pursuit. Efriet took the lead easily.
With every step they took, their element conquered the ground. As Efriet was in front, his feet scorched the ground in flames and then Eden out them with his ice.
Efriet was running with his arms stretched out behind his back while his upper body was arched forward.
"Why the hell are you running like that?" Eden asked, dumbfounded and a hint of confusion.
Efriet responded by saying, "It is a master class technique that reduces air pressure and grants air resistance to the user, which makes me faster. Looking at these memories, it's suppose to call Naruto Running."
"Bullshit!" Eden exclaimed with an irritated expression.
"Well, who is watching my ass slow pock?" Efriet asked.
They then began to approach a building that was at least thirty two feet in height and twelve in width. There was also a tree that was ten feet in length and twenty in width. After entering, the duo began to climb the stairs with an alarming pace of speed.
Through the cracked and broken windows, two individuals ascended the stairs while another pursued behind them, flashing his sword randomly. With every swing, lightning either strikes from the heavens or exited his blade.
After nineteen blows - and the duo reaching floor eight while Kris, floor six - the building became unstable and began to collapse. The way it was collapsing was that the lower part was crumbling away while the upper part followed, turning into rubble and debris.
Eden and Efriet the appeared on top of the roof - the top floor, floor ten. This time, the person in the lead was Eden. A branch was at the near end of the building, presented from the tree.
Eden hopped over the balcony wall and landed on the branch. It then freezed whole, going up to the tree and turning it into am icicle. Eden then jumped off the branch and landed to the ground, turning it to ice.
Efriet then followed by jumping the balcony wall with support of it by using his hands and landed on the branch, making it turn to charcoal. He then jumped of the branch, landed on the ground and turned it to ash.
Kris - who finally made it to floor ten - jumped off the collapsing buildings, crashing into the tree in pursuit of his recent foes.
While falling down, Kris eyes widen. He was right behind Efriet, who was showing a middle finger at him while not looking at him. Efriet then pushed his finger upwards, signalling that he was showing Kris something else.
Kris looked upwards and as he did, he saw five blue magic circles and two red magic circles. From the, an assault of sharp icicles and blazing gas crashed against Kris's body.
"Argh!" He groaned because of his inconvenience.
[Title:
Negative Scream]
Kris then blocked on of the flames and activated a Passive Skill.
[Passive Skill:
Weapon Barrier - Elite/Level 1]
Kris then landed, protected from the rain of attacks from above. He was now enraged at the two souls and only desire now was to kill them.
"Why am I even running. Am I a fool?!" Eden inquired as he halted, making his feet slide against the ground.
Efriet just ran past Eden - his brother - without much of a glaze.
Eden then summoned a pillar of ice beneath of feet about a hundred feet. He then kicked them at him from above, sliding them off his feet. With his high and quick Agility, he made a hundred cylinders launch towards Kris in ten seconds.
The attacks didn't make contact with Kris as a invisible barrier just made them crumble. The attacks were effective as it slowed down Kris's speed.
"(Those things are heavy that there slowing me down by getting hit even though I'm a barrier.)" Kris commented inwardly.
Kris Skill then ended.
"I know right," said Efriet's came voice.
A line of fire came towards Kris and connected right on his head, giving him knock back and a burn on his jaw bone.
Kris didn't feel anything know but still lost Health Points. With that he just swinged his blade at Eden's head after he got up and dashed towards him.
"*Sigh*" Kris sighed. "I guess I have another mind reader here."
Before the blade could cut Eden's head, he ducked and then delivered a nasty upper cut to the jaw.
Kris just eat the attack and lowered back his head. He then kicked Eden in the chest, sending him flying.
Another ray of flames came towards Kris but he blocked it.
[Passive Skill:
Weapon Barrier - Elite/Level 1]
"(But something off.)" Kris pondered. "(That upper cut and shot was more powerful and potent. I can feel it.)"
Kris then got slashed on his shoulder by a blade of ice. While Kris was distracted, he conjured a blade of ice on his hand and covered the distance, slashing his shoulder.
"Next, I'm chopping your head clean off!" Eden yelled.
Efriet then appeared behind Kris. He had his fingers pointed out with a mini magic circle at its tip. Efriet then emitted a powerful flame that covered Kris in about a six feet radius.
The two then back away.
"Did we get him," asked Efriet.
"Of course not!" Eden answered. "(I can see him looking at me!)"
"Don't jinx it," said Efriet.
"Huh?" Eden inquired.
"..Arc.."
From above, lightning struck the two. Kris then dashed out of the flames and slashed his blade at Eden's chest, cutting him.
"Shit, I told you not to jinx it," said Efriet with a calm expression.
Efriet's hair suddenly began to cool crimson and also his entire body. He raised his hand and summoned a gigantic meteor of fire.
"Get out of the way," said Efriet to Eden.
Eden retreated while Kris was left in the radius of the attack.
Efriet dropped the attack and it hit Kris in top of his head. Then..
[You have died!]
