Episode 33- Pawns, Knight, and the King
"There! Behind everyone!", shouts Teno. Zero quickly runs towards the nearest soldier and impales both claws into him before the soldier could turn around. The ten soldiers fire off light magic darts at Zero. Zero charges forward with the impaled soldier, causing him to get struck by all of the darts from the other soldiers. Zero does a short spin with the soldier, then uses the momentum to throw him at the soldiers that just shot the darts. The force of the throw is so powerful that the soldier begins to spin horizontally, as if a discus was thrown. The soldier rips through the group causing broken bones and blood to splash out of the soldiers. Twenty soldiers blast lightning magic at Zero, but Zero dodges by teleporting into the air.
Suddenly, twelve small balls of fire appear, surrounding Zero. The balls explode quickly causing multiple explosions that become one giant explosion. The force of the explosion causes Zero to get propelled out of the air and take heavy damage.
"No matter the difficulty, anyone and anything can be thrown into submission. Some just take more time than others, as you can see. Fire where he lands!", commands Teno. As Zero propelled towards the ground, he channels dark light into his stomach, more than he has ever channeled before.
"LET JUSTICE REIGN!", screams Blight from within.
A large, screeching beam of dark light and swirling flame blast towards the buildings and the soldiers. The beam is so massive that it keeps Zero suspended in the air while it blows forward. Buildings break, the ground breaks, and stone gets thrown all around. The nearby buildings explode into eerie black flames. The soldiers on the ground are burned alive, with some being completely incinerated. Explosions erupt all over the area, then eventually grow into one large explosion of dark light and black flame. The blast ends and Zero begins to fall towards the charred ground.
The sun rests, hidden behind clouds.
Orange flame from the blasts of the soldiers combined with black flame from Zero creates a picture of orange and black chaos all over the area. "Where are you general!? Show yourself! Let's finish this now!", commands Zero as he walks forward.
From underneath a pile of charred soldiers bursts General Teno, "Gladly!", he shouts as he charges at Zero. As Teno charges, he squeezes his left fist, making tiny balls of fire appear around Zero. Zero teleports in front of the balls as they ignite and explode behind him.
Teno quickly uses his right fist to charge a flaming punch. "Show me what you've got!", shouts Zero as he starts to run towards Teno. Zero forms a large dragon claw with his right hand, then extends the palm outward to block the incoming attack. "Don't forget about me!", says Blight. The large claw on the hand of Zero becomes bigger and more dense with longer and sharper claw tips. Teno collides his fist with the dragon claw.
The punch from Teno was not simply a punch. It was more akin to the breath of a powerful fire dragon. The punch explodes onto the dragon claw, then flames continue forward, slowly sliding Zero back as it continues.
"Taste my ambition!", shouts Teno, making the flame grow larger.
"Know my pain!", shouts Zero as he inches forward while blocking the blast.
Teno squeezes his left fist again, causing small balls of flame to appear around Zero. Zero teleports before the flames ignite. The eyes of Teno glow a hellish red-orange, then a large streak of hellfire extends from his right hand. The hellfire quickly becomes hot and dense, then shapes into a sword. Zero appears in front of Teno. "Convictus!", says Teno, then crudely slashes the sword diagonally on the chest of Zero. A reddish-orange cut appears on the armor of Zero, in the same angle as the slash. Zero bursts into hellfire and screams out in pain.
Zero tries to teleport backwards but the flame is still on him burning furiously. Teno laughs hysterically while his cape wildly flows behind him. The fire on Zero subsides, then Zero falls to his knees. Teno charges forward with uncanny speed, leaving a streak of hellfire behind him, then stabs the sword into the chest of Zero. The mouthguard on the helmet of Zero opens automatically, allowing Zero to cough out black and red blood.
