The irregulars
chapter 15
They faced a dire situation where all their hopes were crushed.
Prince Roza was tired and exhausted, and Rein felt the dread and terror. However, they cannot give up, Or he thought, however the next attack were coming straight to them.
Kort swung his sword once more directly to them, thankfully, Rein used all of his might to block the attack and impact with his Sword the Cleaver he took from his dimensional pocket.
He barely stopped it and almost got him fly away by the shockwave, feeling the pain to his entire body, thanks for his Force arts he was able to keep up.
''Rein?! ''Roza asked''
''don't... worry.. just rest for now.. I buy time.
Said Rein catching breath it was able to encourage the prince by his determination when their hope were crushed.
''y-yes thanks, give me a little time... I will stand up again. ''Roza replied''
''Yeah! That's the spirit! Damn I like you guys hahahaha, i got a proposal, Become a fallen and serve under me, i would take you two as comrades, once you join you will become more stronger with darkness. ''said kort''
out of being amazed by their spirit on battle, kort made a proposal which stated to be a fallen and work under him.
a fallen is a being that made a great sin which will make the person be able to use dark abilities however their energy will become demonic.
''like i would accept, ''said Rein''
denying with such anger voice and disgust, gripping his sword tighter ready to attack.
''tsk, both of you are such a pity''
kort swung his great sword once again to strike Rein, it was very fast that rein were barely be able to dodge with its impact and shockwave which destroyed the surroundings.
Rein saw an opening which he got in close and slashed kort, though Rein already anticipated, his attack did not work, he tried to punch him with his force fist.
though it made the demon flinch a little due to the power, that result was enough to drive Rein to fight and not surrender.
'' Rein was it?... your admirable, one last chance take my proposal. ''said Kort''
Rein did not pay any attention instead he charged his life force to his hand to prepare the force blast, as he seeing the demon flinched by the force fist, this is his only idea until he will runout his life energy.
charging straight to the demon while preparing his force blast, he successfully dodge and slip through, aiming to kort's he blasted through.
the shockwave sent kort flying, however Rein was out of energy therefore cannot move an inch. Roza who rested enough stand's up to aid Rein.
''is it over?
the thought came to Roza with the sign of relief. however he heard a sound of flapping wings coming to them.
''phew. damn! that was crazy, i felt the pain from that attack. ''said kort''
seeing kort is alive and regenerating some wounds. Roza stand firm feeling the fear, however cannot leave Rein alone. gripping his sword ready for any attacks.
prince Roza desperately used his strongest attack combining the spell ''catapult'' and ''flame wave'' creating the complex magic ''meteor catapult'' and he shoot the flaming builder into the sky aiming to the demon due to the terror he felt.
''meteor catapult!
kort slashed through the magical attack with his great sword with such power he split the flaming builder in front of him into two pieces, therefore Prince Roza used his spell lava cannon following the flaming builder just in case the builder is destroyed, that was his last magical energy left for offensive attacks.
The demon kort took the lava blast which hurt him from the heat and burns henceforth it stopped the regeneration.
''Damn Bastard! its not that strong but... getting splashed by lava really sting's my skin ''said kort''
using Kort iron skin magic spell the lava has a small effect and the regeneration began again.
''now now. since you two don't have any strength left. guess its time for you two to die''
kort swung his massive sword ready to kill the two, at the moment he was about to slash, thankfully Claris arrived.
''Hey! demon! you freaking loser!
taunting Kort, claris was very afraid facing such opponent without any magical or spiritual talents. however she cannot leave the Prince especially Rein. as she has a dignity as the vice captain of the knight.
''what are you little brat!
kort moves closer to Claris while flying carrying his massive sword and annoyed face. he instantly got closer in front of Claris while gripping his great sword on the sky ready to Cut Claris.
The feeling of Fear takes over claris body as she trembled, however at least wanted to save the two who are on the brink of death.
the great sword struck from the sky, sending slashes of shockwaves which claris taken damage to from the impact.
while Rein who was lying on the ground hears a certain voice,
''...who....
''Rein... stand up... my inheritor.
he realized the strong and encouraging voice was from Zeno the life arts Sage, saying something important to Rein.
''take your sword and stab the the Black sheep.
without hesitation as he trust the Force sage, he looked around and saw the black sheep beside him with a blue eyes.
''its my energy i left when i was still a mortal rein. i only have a very small energy that i left in this world, and that is one of those, i manifested the energy and create that very sheep for you.
gripping his sword as he instructed he killed the sheep.
•System.....
•would you like to occupy the life energy?....
•life energy affinity: materialization
his ability life fore occupation finally activates. without wasting time he accept
''Yes...
the life energy came out from the dead sheep it was a darker blue color, however it became blue to fit on Rein life energy and transferred into Rein's body.
the surging power he got instantly healed him, it was six times stronger than his.
•occupation complete!
•life force occupied (2/5)
he rises brimming with power surging from him, a Longsword manifested appeared in front of him with its bluish blade. it was his new life force skill ''create longsword'' it is made purely from his life energy he acquired.
he took the sword gripping it firmly, feeling the power and energy inside it flowing, he was fascinated by the sword.
however it was not the time to be amazed. he run desperately to where kort is and saw Claris being battered to death, which triggers a painful memory from him.
thanks for his sudden six fold power up, his body enhancement skill became much more powerful than before.
therefore he arrive at the place really fast, dashing through and leaped to attack kort on the air. appearing on the back of the demon Kort, he cut's through his back and wings.
''graaahhh!!!
kort falls down from the air with Rein crushing into the ground,
''damn you bastard!!! ''he cut...he cuts my wings and skin? ''kort thought''
''demon kort..... lets fight once more ''said Rein''
kort felt the difference in Rein as he saw rein eyes were brimming with confidence to defeat him without fear and dread on Rein eyes.
rein dashes to kort with his longsword brimming with energy, she slashes, henceforth kort blocked it with his Great sword. the colliding sword was very powerful that it devastated the area of the palace around them.
''geuk!.... di he power up or something, this strength and power were more than before, its like he became sex times stronger, and that sword, its very sturdy and sharp where did he get it? ''kort thought''
they clashed their sword multiple times, getting wounds overtime, however kort has regenerative abilities which Rein did not it was such a huge disadvantage for Rein.
''damn it. he's regenerating. i must finish this now or else this will never end''
as he attack and parry an opening comes which Rein strike the opportunity to attack, he stabbed kort with its steel skin, however the longsword pierced through kort's chest.
''ARRGGG!!! damn you little sh!t
while Rein has the time and opportunity, he uses his energy to create another force blast, it was stronger than before its power was tripled.
he aimed and blasted into kort's body, destroying it by the explosion and shockwave as its body disassembled to pieces.
a moment later rein felt sadness as he killed kort which made him feel terrified to himself it was out of anger. therefore claris who saw the entire scene, did her best to stand and walk to Rein.
''Rein.....Rein!...*cough *cough *cough
''rein...
she arrived beside feeling worried at Rein therefore she hugged him to comfort
''Rein...its okay... you save many lives on what you did!..... you saved my life again!.....
the voice of sadness echoed from Claris, comforting Rein by embracing him.
''rein its okay....
she held Rein hand's for a deeper meaning.
''look... even when you kill someone... i can still hold your hand...
''....y-your right.... however. i must live on to carry this burden.
thankfully it her comfort affected Rein however something changed about him, that is the hesitation to kill demons were fading.
''claris.... Claude and princess Runa are in great danger... i must go... you should rest claris.
out of being worried, there is still one more demon left.
''yes...umm, please take care. don't die on me Rein.
on the other side. when the demon girl triar took Claude and princess Luna. she took them outside of the palace, and threw them away crashing into buildings.
thankfully as both of them is able to manipulate the spiritual air. the damage was not severe.
''Claude! are you fine? ''Luna asked''
''yes! at least...
they look into the sky seeing the female demon Triar flying with her wings while manipulating the wind to hold Princess Runa, after preparing she is ready to fire magical and spiritual spells.
''foolish Mortal. dare to resist
triar casted one of her magic ''dark cannon'', a dark spherical energy blasting through building's in the area where Clade and Luna at.
''mere mortal? ...are they immortal!
hearing what the demon said. it made claude feel terrified however thankfully Luna explained it to him.
'' Claude listen.. don't be terrified. demons can die but their soul will go back to the nether world or the demon realm where all of them resides.
''i see. so at least they can die. ''said claude''
''how idiotic, do you think you can kill me! its the same with the word impossible ''said triar''
triar blasted their surroundings by her Dark magic, while Claude and Princess Lura were barely be able to dodge.
