9 feet tall statues of the fallen angel there stands before them. " This spirit might be more sinister than we thought it is." said Lodocial who is approaching them looking side to side with everyone stationed behind him. "This is your areas Taiyō and Alucard. This there ancient symbolic writings." This fallen angels are setting on stone thrones that have writings on them. Alucard steps forward "Captain may I look at it?" Lodocial makes way for Alucard by stepping aside. Touchs the symbols moving his hand gently on them. "I've encountered the very same symbolic writings that are scattered across this land. This letters can only be arranged by a certain whistle of frequency." Alucard starts to whistle while gently rubbing the symbolic writings. The symbols starts to glow and simultaneously starts moving arranging themself, this gets everyone's hope high. "When the symbols have arranged themselves for a moment we will be able to read what is written here." "Wait Alucard... what do you mean by a moment?" curiously said. "They will adapt to the readers form of communication." Still gently rubbing the symbolic writings.
"Oh ok I think I get you." The symbols stops as they have arranged themselves and Alucard lean in forward to read and come out. "What does it say?" Alucard looks disturbed. "Well... it's says that once a person reaches this far on this land the only way back home is by defeating this spirit. There is a reward passage that mentions an ancient artifact that possess tremendous power." Bushes starts to open as human voices can be heard, walking in their direction. "It must be that group that I saw earlier." The group finally shows themselves. "Hey! what are you all kids doing here in Eirakai?" Said the old man with a white beard, all wear black clothes with people behind him. "Don't make me repeat myself!" Lodocial speaks up. "We just got lost in the forest while on our back home. You just mentioned Eirakai, is it the name of this place?" The man get even more annoyed "Tell me, do you see a fool here? ordinary humans can't within stand this presence and your best lie is telling me this crap?" "OK I'm sorry maybe you are not that dumb."Smiles. "Now that we are all here let's see how we solve this matter." Gives them a creepy smile with hands opened wide. 300 years ago, this land was known for good timber, infrastructure and a place full of resources. This was one of the few place which didn't fall under any rulling of any kind. Eirakai is a being born from people fear of
"Oh so you want conflict?"Said lodocia while smelling. "Yes but there are rules here ,and it's a one on one and if we lose I will give you my members heads." Even this doesn't fit well with his members as they look at each in silence. "Wow. I don't know If I should say you are dumb or brave..." laughs "In terms of numbers you have an advantage not like they can make a difference. And if you loss you must obey everything we say, is that alright?" asked Lodocial. "Fine with me." "OK great. Alucard handle this for us." "With pleasure captain." walks in the middle of the circle and a taller guy than him does too. "Are you trying to get that kid killed?" Said the old man but Lodocial doesn't respond. The taller guy looks down on Alucard "Im not one of your toys dont play with me." "Captain how does one win?" he already knew what he will say. "Ohh I didn't mention it right? for this round...the last standing man is the winner." This intensify everything.
"Shouldn't we start by introducing ourselves?" Said Alucard. "Alright, my name is boros and what's yours?" Few inches taller than Alucard. "OK my name is estarossa Alucard." "Now that we have got that out of the way how about we shake hands." Alucard leaves him hanging and as with his left hand is about to reach out to shake his hand. Boros takes advantage of lapse of concentration and unleash a strong right hook, Alucard head turns and face in the direction of the force with his eyes still on Boros. Alucard escapes between the statues. "Ohh where did your confidence run to? Don't make me laugh!" Spot Alucard in one of the statues and manages to catch up with him and finally they returns to the circle in the middle. "OK I admit you caught me off guard there but forthat I will try and take things serious, a bit. It's your reward." Boros glance at Alucard squad for any awkward movements but see nothing. "Something changed."Looks at Alucard again. "It's aura is like he is a different person." Both of them in each other's reach, Alucard takes a stand loading up a destructive punch and Boros involuntary leans in it's direction
"What is going on! what's happening to me." Alucard punches him flying into the statues and break it into piece unconsciously laying on it's bottom."Ohh unfortunately your loud mouth don't match your skills. This can't be over, we're only getting started." walks slowly towards him "In this world only the strongest survives, the sooner you understand that your perspective of life is forced to change. Never misunderstood someone's caution behavior for weakness. "Boro stand up struggling to stand still holding his mouth, coughing blood. "So much power who is this guy!" Speaking to himself. "I'm surprised you can still stand up after you ate that punch, you are tougher than I thought." "Tell me Alucard..." He pauses "It's seems like I caught someone's eyes " "Something about you doesn't make sense, it feels like you are here but yet absent. That technique you just used against me it's a known fact that only 5% of people can use it in one generation, meaning you are a protégé one of the people who will lead the era..." "A protégé you say... well thank you for your expect analysis. You see those guys behind everyone of them has tremendous potential and we're lucky to have a great leader like our captain.
It's true of few people in the world that can control someone's voluntary and involuntary actions now it's only 3%. My past is very complex and unfortunately we have met as enemies so you are greating no explanation but... My name is Estarossa Alucard I've never seen my parents nor heard of them. Both captains raised me and I will forever be greatful and since a young age I've trained only to protect those I care about period." Boros is left standing with a look disbelief. "For some reasons I feel so honoured...then this means I can fall in the hands of someone so supreme don't worry I will put a show for you!" screams with his eyes turning all white and veins poop up his whole body with enlarge knuckles. "We can continue where we left of." Alucard opens his arms "Heel fruit" A creatures appears in front on it's knee with a tray with well sliced fruit above it's head. "Thank you for summoning me master he is your order." "Thank you as always aldibo." Alucard swallows the fruits one by one and finishes creature vanishes. This increases is blood circulation levels increasing his speed. They charges into one another, Alucard tries to control him but fails and Boros can see his attempt and smiles. Both throw a punch which collides but Boros suffer a bit, stamp causing dusk and vanish out of Alucard sight who just looks for him in every direction
Boros undetected appears from the back and kicks Alucard behind the knee which cause him to lean back and he sees Boros on his left with a blink of an eye he lands a massive elbow to the face, this impact create a small crater with his veins getting bigger. "Now I see. Alucard can't control him because in that state, Boros body itis in a phase between life and death which means he is unconscious making this difficult, he never trained nor imagined something like this is possible." Boros looks down on Alucard and groans loosing his sense of speech. Alucard pukes out blood, something behind Boros moves almost in the speed of light and Alucard body starts to wobble, turns black and into a black fluid that turn into a blade, move into the person's hands and stabs Boros from behind. "That was a very good battle Boros..." His body turns back, the person pulls out the knife and gently puts Boros on his back facing up, when Boros opens his eyes he sees Alucard. "No need to speak, you have my respect not everyone puts my clone into so much suffering." Smiles at him. "Bu...but... how?" "When I escaped earlier into the statues I created my own clone and I stayed back while it took my position."
"Wow...it's an honor even if I was fighting your clone this whole time." struggling to speak his a fatal stab in his organs. " Those clone are tough too,give yourself credit. They can almost use every technique in my arsenal." in a point blink range the old man kicks Alucard who blocked it straight to his members "how is that old man that fast!" "I've seen enough humiliation from my side. He is right you tried your best." carry him away from the fighting ground. meanwhile... "Are you fine Alucard?" "Yes I was late to blocked his attack but he got me." Tapes him on the back as he slowly stands up "That was not a bad display of your growth. You did well." "Thank you." with a slight smile. "Well well looks who's finally climbing though the ranks." said Taiyō "Last time I remember I told you that if you don't watch out I will leave you in the dust." "Give it for best try!" all smiles. "You kids stay here.Shunsui this is the powers you must excess if you real want to rule this world. I won't lie to you, once you finally understand your powers you will be unstoppable but in case if you loss control we will be here for you, your journey starts today, climb the ranks, show the world your true powerrrrrrrr!king!" screaming, leaving everyone in shock but Shinsui in tears.
"Are you done with your speech?"Said the man in the middle of the ring. "Sorry to keep you waiting, you know in parenting guidance and motivation is important as love." They stand at a distance to each other. Lodocial takes a Dan tain stance with his feet shoulder-wide apart, hands placed in front with palm facing inwards. "Let's see how this turns out old man." "That stance... is this a bluff? no one has mastered that yet." Lodocial stand still keeping his eyes locked on his opponent. " I can tell you are really fast so let's see who's abilities are greater." The old man stretches and takes a fighting stance. The old man uses his speed to get close to Lodocial and he effortlessly dodgethe surprise punch moving out of it's way to the side and just looks at him, the old man gets in position quickly avoiding giving his opponent his vulnerable by taking few steps backwards. "Are you mocking me!" "Why are you so angry? Old man?" pisses the old guy who just get annoyed even more "You had a clear chance to strike me but you didn't!" "Don't you dare tell me how to fight!" yells "You fight how you want and let me do the same but since you're so eager to die... Time countermand, ranging flames!" A black flames-like thing cover his hands, Lodocial points his palm towards him and pulls the old man by an invisible force, the old man takes advantage of this momentum and throws a small knife.
Lodocial dodge it,this disturb the pulling force, still in mid-air moving in Lodocial's direction, Lodocial quickly catches him by his throat, struggling to get Lodocial's hands off him, starts to age even more. "I respect my elders so I won't humiliate you nor lay a finger on you." The old man's skin starts to dries up and loss weight " This is one way to kill someone without pain or violence." After a moment he let him fall down" This is time manipulation. This flames allows me to temper with time of anything I touch however I see fits. Resistance is futile you have already lost. Fortunately no one is going to die here, this is not what we are here for. Seems like my team won this two battle now it's time to comply..." the old man with his last strength pull himself together to sit upright the dark flames vanishes "Yea you guys won this fair and square. We had no chance against the brilliant show of individual skills. Your power are even more terrifying I can tell by how unfazed you are, it sucks to look elder than I did in a matter of minutes but we were not created for this kind of thing." Lodocial sit down near the old man facing him " What do you mean by created?"got his fully attention. "Eirakai is a fierce being and everyone of us here are born from his energy, if that even makes sense. We are all created from her energy that's all I know."
Lodocial gets quite with his hands on his chin, deeply thinking "Is everything alright " "Ohh I was thinking of something so where is Eirakai located?" The old man points in the caves. "It figures..." Stands up and walks away "You forgot to mention one thing. You guys can't escape this place but don't worry the curse is broken. You are free to go" This cause the opponents to tear up " I see why those kids believe in you. You are a very capable leader that sympathies with everyone." with his head on the ground, bowing to showing their gratitude "No one must be forced to life by someone's ideologies." The group also knees down. "Let's move on guy's..." The X10 walks towards the caves through the fallen angels statues setting on their thrones. "Wow...this guy's are really really strong. Looks like they all have variety of powers and abilities, if a guy like me want to rule the world I must be stronger than them. What should I do tobe able to initiate my powers?" They enter the dark caves and the candle along the cave walls light up in a inwards manner. "I'm not sure what this means... is someone aware of our presence?" asked Shunsui who's walking ahead of the group along Lodocial.
"I think that the second we infiltrated this domain way before we encountered that group, this spirit automatically felt our spiritual pressure." "OK your hypothesis might be true..."After a while in the cave they reach a village with wooden houses, a strong breeze meet them, with unnatural sun and clouds, facing the opening into the village there is a big mension. "Wow, a village within a cave... I have never seen anything like this before."Said Shinsui. "Look at that mension solely made of wood. Something says that's where Eirakai lives." Finally Shunsui overcome his overwhelming and intense feelings. "Yes..." Shunsui sense an ominous distraction power sent flying fast into their direction, he takes few steps and jumps to the air trying to deflect this object "What is this..." With his hands clutched together struggling to fend it to the side but he prevails, this object clashes with the cave walls on the side and sinks in causing a massive deep hole. Shunsui was one of those who sensed this, everyone is shocked and confused trying to figure out what just happened. "What happened Shunsui!" Said Taiyō who is concerned. "Something flew this way, I can tell that someone is targeting us and they are way stronger compared to that group earlier."
They look at each other thinking the same thing. "How did he sense that besides that no one saw what he just happened..." Taiyō smiles " Interesting, seems like your powers are starting to show. Without you we will all be dead for sure, I'm sure our captain sense and saw what happened just that for some reason he hesitated." Lodocial is stunned with his eye wide open in disbelief. "How did that kid managed that feat? Not even I was able to react to that not to mention the power to fend that object without taking any damage. What power" " I don't know how I did it, it felt like I knew it's something I know I can do, like muscle memory." also surprised looking at his hands. "We are being watched and that person is coming this way." They hear foot step, as they look forward they see a gorgeous lady with a white dress and hazel eyes. "Wow boys look at that" Lodocial with his heart beating fast, the lady's beauty knocks him out, Taiyō and Alucard balancing him from each side. "Come on captain, not this again! I thought we talked about this before!" Said both of them trying to shake Lodocial back to his senses. "What is going on with him."Said Shinsui who doesn't look bothered. "He behaves like this whenever he sees beautiful ladies. I doubt he will be of any use in this battle it's down to us." Said Taiyō as they leave their captain to fall, who is still fantasizing
"Wow. He is a really interesting guy isn't he" Shunsui who is yet to seem concerned. "Don't worry about his dramatic act, we have a foe we must deal with." The lady after closing the distance she stops, flicking his hair. "I don't remember having guests. This is my territory and you have came and seen too much for my liking." Pointing at them. "Are you Eirakai?" Taiyō seeking a conversations. "And what if I am? I'm the only one who should ask questions and for your own safety it will be wise of you not to provoke me. I'm certain of one thing you are here to try to stop me isn't it?" Calmly said. "I can see were not welcomed... we are here to free people from your selfish acts. We are well aware that you are responsible for this viking era people were forced to submit unconsciously to this way of living." The silence rises volume. "Is that suppose to make me tremble with fear? Well I suppose I should credit you for being able to gather that information." Licking the lip stick on her lips. "We were able to read the message on the statues and it mentions something about a ancient artifact, can you please tell us about it." Said Shinsui.
"You...something about you is familiar but yet terrifying. You were the one who deflect that object I'm impressed." Everyone just lessen attentively. "Are you even aware of who you are?" "Who I am?"Looks confused. The lady laugh with his hand on his mouth maintaining his class. "Well I guess we can have a small chat. The reason why you can't use your powers it's because you don't fall under elemental God." Everyone looks even more confused with their eyebrows raised. "I don't think I understand what you are trying to tell me..." "I mean you won't be to use a specific element but variety of them but this comes with a cost of course. You body can't handle certain powers yet this might lead to an early grave. That's all I can say for now." she smiles at him. "I can tell that you are not lying based on your flamly thing in your heart." "That is reality perception if someone is lying that flame will flicker wildly. The ancient artifact your friend just mentioned is a weapon that can destroy anything." Talking with signs.
"What kind of weapon?" Taiyō who's more experienced asks. "This are two blades that chooses their master not even I I'm not capable to weld those blades." "Well we are this blades as we speak?" "You are really direction I like it, well I sealed them within as a reward to those who defeat me and it will be wise if you both attack me at once." watching them closely. " Taiyō I think this is the only way to win this one."both getting ready to throw some hands "Ok let's see if we make a good team." Alucard and Lodocial at the back observing how will things play out, with their guard up. "It's to see how I will do but something about me felt strange." Looking at his hands. "You can tell me when you want to begin." "We are ready." Eirakai spread her arms wide and destroys the whole village with just a flick on her hands. "I have spend hundreds of good years but it all ends here." Talking to herself, the X10 are left astonished after witnessing true power. "Show that captain, she just destroyed everything here by just flicking her hands"Said Alucard quietly "That is really impressive but I expect less from a spirit that manage to change the course of humanity."
Taiyō pulls out a charm and beats, stops and looks at them for a moment, wears the beats on each hand which tighten up as he hold onto the charm tight a stream comes out of his body. "That's that for?" Said Shunsui. "This is my family technique which enhance my abilities and my durability, if you were wondering yes it's also put of my spiritual ability. i will make the first move follow me" Taiyō quickly runs towards Eirakai with Shunsui behind him, Eirakai stands still following their every move. "Lightning bow." in high speed he creates 3 arrows and shoot them straight at Eirakai before any impact Taiyō switch's his position and Shunsui with the arrows just before missing Eirakai , they have now closed the range as they prepare to land power punches Eirakai manages to kick both Shunsui and Taiyō in different directions while they were still in mid-air, they both stop themselves from the momentum of the kick and all with one knee on the ground. Lodocial and Alucard haven't made any move during this fight. "Wow... this lady is stronger than how she looks" Shunsui taking heavy breathes. "Don't loss of young one's come at me with all you got."
still looks unfazed. They rise to their feet they try again charging the different directions this time Eirakai allows the to come closer intentionally and start quickly moving in Shunsui's direction, without time to stop or react "Zero punches."at first it seems like the puches have no effect all over sudden Shunsui feels a massive force chasing few ribs, punches so powerful Shockwave were sent through the air, Taiyō was wise enough to stop as he watches Shunsui falls on his face. Alucard tries to interfere but Lodocial grabs him "No Alucard! this is not our fight." Who is still forcw to tryhelping his friends. "I can't just watch my friends being killed." Lodocial has a tight grip on him. "Do you think I enough watching my sons getting a beating like this?" Stop resisting "Do you think this is amusing? answer me Alucard!" let's him. "I understand I want to help to but this is important for them, let them face this challenge alone, let them identify their weaknesses and trump." " You are still too green, you don't even know how to use those power how useless." Slowly facing Taiyō who's still in disbelief. "It's your time or have you lost the will to fight?" Walking tall on her hills clinking on top of pile of wood from the destroyed house.
"Hey, Taiyō" Turns to look at his captain. "Don't worry too much for now I want you to focus on yourself, I believe Shunsui will be fine" shouting trying to rise his spirit. "But will will he be fine?" Asking himself internally. "His right lessen to your captain in situations like this it's better to minimize the damage it's better to lose one live than two." giving him a creepy smile forming fits ready to attack Taiyō. Eirakai points at Taiyō and flick her hand to the other side, blocks his sense of hearing his body language conveyed a profound sense of defeat. "What is this?Is this way you experience when you are about to die..." moves his fingers "Seems like she managed to block my sense of hearing." internally talking to himself. "Show them that you are a true friend and fall like your friend." Eirakai dashes around Taiyō who tries to follow her movements but finds it difficult only relaying on his sight. Eirakai toying his Taiyō starts to feel uneasness but she ignores this feeling, gets on Taiyō blindsight, and appears infront of him . "Now it's time to die brat" as she's about to pierce Taiyō crest with his bare hands using her nails, A sound of light hit blinding every sight as this glow fades, Shunsui is holding Eirakai hand which pierce Taiyō but only on the surface of the skin.
Eirakai is struggling to free her hand, Shunsui separate her radius ulna forcefully breaking her hand. Eirakai screams in agony, Shunsui throws Eirakai away by her hand. "This presence." Looks at Shunsui. "This is not Shunsui this that guy who possessed him before." The gravitational force intensify, everyone slams on the ground forcefully, making breathing difficult as Shunsui walking towards Eirakai. "Is this Shunsui doing?"Asking himself Lodocial. "This force will clash us to an early grave. I believe this Is his awakening what a kid!" With a smile as they continue to break the ground facing down while looking at Shunsui who is the only way stand. "I know this feeling. This boy possess a power of a God, this is Lord Lyrien presence." Shunsui close and looks down at Eirakai "How dare you do that to my friend!" Everyone's heart is racing with fear for there lives. "Undo what you did and do it to yourself!" Eirakai without being mind controlled only under the influence of fear she bring Taiyō's sense of hearing and with hesitation she cut of her sense of hearing. "Now it's time for you to suffer the same faith that we almost did." "I have a question. " Shunsui in a state of numbness give her a chance to speak.
"Lord Lyrien is that you?" "I'm his vessel but he are slowly becoming one allowing me to access certain power but he can hear you and see no need to answer you I'm sorry." Shunsui lends towards Eirakai and pierce her from the back and pulls out the two black swords with a touch of red on the edge and looks at them. Eirakai didn't feel pain she just screamed concerning for her life. "Stop scream no pain was infected unpon you."The gravitational force intensify stop as the rest of the members helps themselves back on there left watching Eirakai who's vanishes into thin air. "Goodbye beautiful lady." "Beneath that seriousness there is still a kind kid, thank you for the wonderful send off. After being summoned by people's pain and seeking of vengeance I knew one will never understand me that's why I spend all this time in this walls and this village I made. Bye." vanishes completely. Shunsui calms down and drops to his knee with the blades on each hands, taking deep breaths and rise the blades and collapse. They all rashes and Taiyō gently faces his upward. "Well done king." With smiles of everyone's face.
"I'm glad I could help" coughs "Well well I see you are starting to lead the team to victory. "Said Lodocial. "Both of you did great I'm proud of you, honestly I thought that you boys will die" "Oh really?" Everyone looks at him "OK ok I'm joking you had me stressed out. Shunsui congratulations of using your powers Well I guess everyone is a witch" They don't pay attention to him. "Do you get the joke like witch...you know that they can use magic and all of us can... you understand it now?" "Can you please shut up" get depressed "I was trying to cheer everyone up. "They help Shunsui to stand up. "Can you walk?"ask Taiyō "Yes I'm out of breath and my body hurts." The cave starts to cramble as the top falls. "Boys we need to run." The exit get sealed as the rocks fall in front of it trapping them. "Look guys."Shunsui points at the direction where he deflect that heavy objectthat carved a way. "I don't mean to be a nuisance but if you don't want to die boys head that way" Some with painful injuries they manage to outrun the collapsing cave and finds Boros who was bandished on the ground.
every made it safely out. out. " " I They see a familiar face see "That every made is it " They approach him as he wipes tears off his face and Lodocial get close. Boros. " I vanishes too which mean you see are they just all us?" stays
