Chapter 34 - Encounter with the chimera

"I'll be your king for a little while" Akito waved his hand tiredly as they're faces sparkled with joy

They led him to where the other soldiers were, they were glad to have a new king,there was a throne stationed on a podium which was where Akito sat down

"Our empire is back" The queen jumped up as they cheered loudly

This brought the attention to the enemies who came to attack them, as Akito watched the battle he noticed why they lost their king

'This people have no intelligence whatsoever'

"Kage just deal with everything" He raised his hand signalling Kage to attack, Kage rushed to the battle as he dashed striking everyone down with a single attack

The empire looked at him with happy faces as some even started to cry, they all rejoiced over their victory

"Why are they crying" Luxuria put his hand on his chin failing to understand their emotions

"Well who wouldn't cry over their first victory in years" Akito lips tugged up as he watched them rejoice over the victory

He then stood up raising his hand so that every one would pay attention to him

"Although you won today's battle you won't win another since I dont plan on staying here much longer" As soon as he said that the mood became gloomy

"Alright what would you do normally in a battle" He asked then to know their level of skill

"Move all the pawns forward in a line to be sacrificed" As soon as the queen said then Akito mouth went open in disbelief

'Imagine chess pieces not knowing how to play chess even though it's the simplest board game' he shakes his head in disappointment of their lack of skill

"And if the pawns get sacrificed that leaves your king wide open you should try different techniques in practice,I'm going now since I have things to do" He walked down as the queen held his shirt tightly

"What about a king, we need a king" She said softly as if almost crying

Akito then patted her head as her eyes widened making her looked up at him

"Who needs a king when you got a queen" He smiled at her and left the chess kingdom

"Wow who knew you could flirt" Luxuria hinted elbowing me

"I didn't flirt, don't make things up in your head" Akito replied level headedly as they continued walking

As they walked along they came across a goat hiding behind a building, as Akito was about to ignore it and walk past it he was suddenly pulled back by Kage as he was dragged to the sky

"You sensed it right" His face was dead serious as he asked Luxuria

"Yeah" Luxuria had the same expression while Akito was clueless

"Sensed what exactly" He glanced at Kage as he and Luxuria got as far away from the goat as possible

When the goat revealed itself it was a huge monster often heard in mythologies, Akito's face turned pale as he saw the creatures full form, it was a chimera

"Protect Akito!!" he yelled but Akito had already fused with Luxuria

"Let's get on with it" He pumped his fist determinedly as he got ready

"One question before battle,what should I call you when you fused with Luxuria" he stared blankly as Akito sighed and gave an answer

"Akito" He replied shortly as they headed where the chimera was located

The chimera noticing them roared and lunged at them but Akito created illusions momentarily distracting it as Kage then struck the chimera's head with swift blows

The chimera then furiously swiped it's serpent tail delivering venom into Kage's bloodstream which made Kage stagger a little but didn't fall

"I can't afford to fall while Akito is still fighting ' He thought as he continued fighting

Akito channeled some dark energy into his hand as he blasted it at the chimera while Kage continued to attach its head making it a little sluggish

Enraged the chimera retaliated with a devastating blast of fire hurling straight at Akito as he couldn't react

"Akito!" Kage yelled as he rushed to the scene but the demon had started to take effect causing him to fall flat on the ground

As the fire attack struch him it made a hole in his chest with blood seeping out of it while Kage crawled to his side

"Akito...don't you dare die on me" He said in a low voice holding on to Akito's hand

Akito then stood ignoring the pain in his body as he pulled Kage back up with a determined look in his eyes

"Let's endure this and defeat Alastor" He said as they focused their attention on the chimera

Akito sucked the energy of the chimera as Kage dove his claws into the chimera's throat with precision

As the chimaera staggered Akito delivered a final blast at the chimera as Kage striked its tail severing it from it body

The chimera then fell down as the three heads scattered on the ground, Akito and Kage smiled happily as they fell down on the ground, Luxuria had seperated from Akito as he breathed heavily

"Good job defeating it everyone" Akito said as he lost consciousness and fainted
