The irregulars
Chapter 26
in the middle to the chaos, he woke up, ''ahhh i feel nice again, oh my guess was right, i have another magical energy, then if i depletes my Greenish magical energy my Monochromic energy activates i guess'' he reached his hands, he trembles in excitement.
he sense the energy fluctuation in the surroundings, he looks up, only seeing an angel fighting the demons, in a second he saw hundreds of undead raging in chaos a thought came in. "are those undeads?... Then it must be Runa!, she's in danger"
Gen dove into the shadows in search on Runa. "i need find her, she's the key to end this war, with such power it's enough for fighting the demons". Rushing on his way, he found Rein lying on the ground with Claris.
"a-are they" he checked, ascending from the shadows, ''phew they are just unconscious" he lit a sign of relief. he took their body with him inside the shadows and leave it on a safety place under a tree and then dove into the shadows once again to continue to search for Runa.
on the battle on the sky, the sounds of shockwaves and explosion from their attacks was like the roar of the sky, however Seraphyre who has a minute left has made her last resort. in a single moment all of the Light have Gathered in a single point where The shining angel shines the entire battlefield.
"o piercing light, illuminate the darkness, give light to my way, and pierce the darkness in front of me" the whole battlefield was encompassed with Divine Light. "Dawn severer!" the light that gathered on her, burst in a hallow form as she moves a round slash for this attack. the hallow Light became massive that brings the brightness of the Daytime on the middle of the night. on the darkest sky, a massive Ring of light appeared in the middle of that ring is an angel who brought Light on darkness.
"my subjects, get behind me!" sylvara commanded. Xenore and Heimer quickly hides behind sylvara as she unleashed her mighty power. "like i let you!" in a single point a pure darkness covered sylvara, using Most of her energy on her disposal.
the round slash of piercing light was able to cut through the massive Barrier of darkness that encompassed the whole Battle field moreover it broke sylvara's barrier that protects herself and those who are behind her causing damaged her arms and dripping blood from her mouth, and her subjects was at worst by the intense holy energy that pierced them.
"as expected of my strongest attack, thought it was not enough to kill that demon" said Seraphyre Gazing through Sylvara and the aftermath of her attack mid-air. as her time is running out, she vanished like a light came to an end.
"she's gone? where did that damned angel gone?" she looks around and felt no holy presence. "Based on what i saw she's most likely a summon cause i felt another presence on her... was there a summoner? but there aren't that much human that can gain a contract with angels, and its affinity on holy to be able to summon such High ranked angel..... who is this summoner?" Sylvara was deep in thought and the fragment of the angel Seraphyre came back to Claude's body.
On the other Side, Gen finally found Runa in the middle of the battlefield.
"R-Runa!" He called, however his voice was unable to Reach Runa due to her Curse. Therefore Gen tried to pinch her cheeks, Runa reacted by avoiding Gen's hands, thankfully physical touch can affect Runa. Gen ponders "what do i have to do... i seen many situation like this on anime... but the savior must have deep affection to the heroin... can i really do this?"
Gen hesitated for a moment until he finally embraced Runa and Pat's her head, however that was not all, as an otaku neet he doesn't have many relationships with females therefore to countermeasure his embarrassing moment, if Runa does not respond for a few moments he will create a new spell and take the risk.
"Princess Runa! im Gen! princess Runa wake up!" Gen desperately calls while hugging Runa's Head to his chest. Runa calmed down and says "G-Gen is this you" even thou she cannot see anything due to the "Phantom Torment Curse". she felt that Gen was on her side on this moment. "Yeah it's me Gen" he answered.
"I-im sorry... B-because of me this war happened... many soldiers died... im sorry" her tone was Breaking, tears flown down. "this power of mine is the reason why the demons came, this part of me that brought me miserable life and now it will bring ruin and death to my fathers kingdom, Im so sorry if only i don't have this power" she cried on gen's chest while her words affected Gen's feelings.
Gen is emotionally detached to himself, he doesn't feel his true feeling about himself and the reality. all he felt was dull and empty. however that doesn't count on others. this Scene reminds him those sorrowful parts of the stories he once reads, the stories that colored his life before as an escape from reality.
the scene in stories he once longed from fantasy is now happening on the current moment. he felt Excitement and sorrow a mixed emotions run's into him. with his magic perception and spiritual perception ability, he saw the curse on Runa's Forehead. without hesitation as he felt this moment was something very important he started creating a magic that will break this seal.
Gen's magical energy run's into him as he visions a Light that can clear The fog of curse and illusions. the curse was powerful but about 70% of Gen's energy can be sacrificed to create a spell that can end this Curse of sorrowful illusions. Gen's head rang, a pain came. "Clarity" a spell of lightness has been made to clear the torment of illusions. her hearing has regained.
"Princess Runa... remember what i said before. i said your power that you known as curse is a part of yourself and a blessing that i also want for myself. to be honest your necromancer powers is something that is very powerful that it can defy death and change the world..... Runa are you afraid of the people opinions and their terrified looks when they sees you?".
His eyes was closed while Runa has regained her eyesight, he felt Runa's hearth beat filled with sadness and sorrow while Runa felt his warmth. "that is because They don't know anything about you... you are a kind person and your power can be used in kindness. i told you before right? the power is not evil or Good, its those who holds it".
She replied "why would you do this? your hurting yourself! because of me... Just why" seeing Gen in a painful state after creating a magic spell she felt pain but also thankful and warmth from Gen.
"i told you before right? i will always be by your side... if you are the princess of darkness then im your dark Knight. did you remember it?" he said on a tired tone. "yeah i did... im thankful but i must die and you must leave me... beside i know because of my power lots of tragedy will happen in the future... and the world views me as something to be terrified of...". she was filled in sadness as she talks with the saddest tone to be ever heard by Gen in real life.
"then i be more serious and will decline your Royalty. Runa if you view yourself as a Cursed princess or more than that then i stay with you and show you if i be affected by your curse to whoever you are. if you want to flee in this world by dying for the safety of your people, then come with me on my adventure. to be honest i have a mission that will involve the whole world and for it's safety, if you come with me on my adventure, i will do anything to make the world change their perspective on who you are." he said giving Runa a choice whether To kill herself or have a chance to change something better with Gen.
the sudden Change of approach Gave Runa some questions and hope. though for Gen as he thought pushing Runa to change herself will be hard therefore he thought that showing her by taking her on his adventure will have a higher chance for her to change and have a better perspective on herself. plus he thought that Runa's power would be a Huge help on his adventure and mission given by the sages.
"W-what do you mean? an adventure?" Runa asked. "yes an extremely dangerous adventure about uniting the angels and demons" said Gen. "you must be kidding right? as if that's something possible" Runa replied. "yeah it's almost impossible yet i have to. im being selfish but if you wanted to be gone forever, then at least i wish that you can be my ally until the end" Gen wished.
With Gen's words, Runa who has no place to return has another chance was made for her, to be of help to Gen that she unknowingly loved. a burning feeling from her hearth to her thought "I want to help Gen, i want to be of use to Gen, I want to be with Gen" unknowingly her powers grown in an extreme rate and the reason why? because she is the Zealot of Obsession.
"Gen promise me, don't leave me alone. thanks for giving me a place to belong so don't leave me alone. i promise i will do everything for you" her tears stopped, her sorrowful hearth beat was replaced by affection and joy amidst of the tragedy a personal hope was created for her.
her attention is now fully attracted to Gen, she doesn't care anymore of her cursed powers and Gen accepted it and told her so. what she truly desire has been created "She wants Gen for the rest of her life" at worst she doesn't care how the world Sees her, she will use all of her power for her purpose.
In the middle of it all, Sylvara was on midair weakened from the battle against the angel Seraphyre. She is mad as her plan was unsuccessful and from the damage she took. amidst of it all she suddenly felt such a murderous intent toward her, as she saw Runa's Gaze was shifted towards Her.
"Don't you dare hurt Gen" she demanded.
