[Orsted's pov]
Rudeus and Alek quickly left for Sharia to look for the MK3, I knew that me and Peragius couldn't defeat Laplace in his current state, he's too powerful, more powerful than in the other hundreds of loops I've been in, Laplace never represented any problem for me before...but now that he merged with Siegh his strength rose to levels that I can't calculate, without Rudeus we can't win and I knew that, Peragius too
Now we were doing what is called buying time.
-Orsted- Peragius called me as we stood in the teleportation circle
I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
-You know we can't sell it without Rudeus right?- Peragius told me
I just smiled slightly as I nodded.
-Almanfi!- Peragius shouted
The spirit of light appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye as he knelt down.
-You guys take care of Rudeus Greyrat's family- Peragius commanded
-As you order- he replied
-Please wait!- a voice said from the hallway
I turned to see who it was and it was Ruigerd Superdia...Oh right...how could I forget him?
Ruigerd was accompanied by Norn Greyrat and Luciela Superdia
-Please let me accompany you, I know I'm weaker but I want to fight with you to get revenge on that damn Laplace!- Ruigerd said
I looked at Peragius who was looking at me.
-Okay, but you know that we won't be enough, right? - I said.
Ruigerd and his family opened their eyes in shock at this.
-I know...but my pride still makes me want to fight him!- He said as he stood next to us in the teleportation circle.
Ruigerd and Norn Greyrat said goodbye with kisses and so we teleported to intercept Laplace
..
The three of us arrived at a forest and in the distance we heard the sound of something flying at high speed.
-it's him...-Peragius said angrily
The sound of Peragius' flight was disturbing, like an arrow flying close to your ear.
Quickly summon the God Sword and I was on guard as were Peragius and Ruigerd
The sound of the flight stopped and in front of us a golden figure appeared in a fraction of a second, I could barely react at that speed which made me shudder
There in front of us was Laplace now with the armor of the Fighting God, he knew that our chances of beating him were zero without Rudeus but we still had to try.
-Well, well, well, look what we have here! - Laplace said while crossing his arms
Ruigerd's grip on his spear deepened, Peragius' frown deepened, and I looked directly at Laplace.
-But you are the people I hate most in this world! How curious that none of you are human, right?- Laplace said with a smile as he took a carefree stance.
-I was planning to fly all the way to Sharia and kill them! But now they've even sold me to die! Isn't that fascinating?!!- he said
-Heh, well fine, now that you've come to me, I'll just kill you, then I'll kill Rudeus Greyrat and finally I'll kill all the fucking humans in this world...-Laplace said as he looked at the sky and then looked at us with a smile
-It's a good plan, isn't it?!- he said
Peragius looked at him with anger, I swore I could hear him gnashing his teeth in hatred.
-Make fun of it all you want but now we'll really kill you!!- Peragius said angrily
At this Laplace's smile became more twisted as he looked at us.
-Really? Well, let's see who has the last laugh! - Laplace said as he lunged at us at an inhuman speed.
I could barely follow his movements, he walked past me and Ruigerd and landed a direct hit on Peragius' stomach.
In the blink of an eye Peragius was thrown into the air by the force of the blow, Ruigerd could not react and suffered the same fate.
Laplace kicked me and I could barely react by raising my arm to stop the kick.
The force of the attack made me flinch on the spot and intense pain ran through my arm.
He had broken it with that simple attack.
With my other arm I threw a blade of light at him that hit him squarely but did nothing to the armor...
-Hehe! It won't work this time!!- He said, he did an unnatural spin in the air, hitting me in the solar plexus which I couldn't dodge.
The force of the blow was such that I felt my organs collapsing on themselves.
I fell crashing into a tree, I trusted my regeneration and quickly got up.
I lunged at Laplace with the God Sword, throwing a sword of Foresight at him.
My sword moved at the speed of light but Laplace caught it with his hands...
I could see under the helmet of the armor how he smiled cynically
-all of the dragon gods are all the same... weak!!- he said making a movement that I couldn't see and sending me flying through the air.
Unfortunately for me, Laplace followed my path to hit me again.
I followed Rudeus' example and propelled myself with a Sonic boom out of the Laplace trajectory.
I was barely able to dodge the blow and took the opportunity to attack him but my sword stopped on the metal of the armor without doing anything to him.
With a turn around, Laplace kicked me, sending me flying to the ground.
I fell to my knees as I thought of something to defeat him.
Laplace fell softly in front of me while looking at me with that hideous smile of his.
-That's all the Dragon God has to offer?!, the second strongest?! What garbage hahaha!!- Laplace laughed cynically
-Die!!- Peragius suddenly shouted, coming out of the bushes and launching himself at Laplace at high speed.
One hit...two hits...three hits...one emperor rank fireball...one king rank electric spell...
That was what Peragius threw at Laplace before stopping and confirming the damage.
At this point Ruigerd emerged from the bushes as well and rushed towards Laplace alongside Peragius.
Ruigerd's spear bounced off the armor without doing any damage, he tried with his shoulders and nothing, he tried with his knees and nothing... he tried with his neck, although I was barely able to land a blow, it was pushed aside with a A simple slap that threw him hundreds of meters into the forest
Peragius on the other hand was no better, every blow and action he took was unsuccessful.I tried to hit Laplace's head but the armor was so hard that I could see the grimaces of pain that Peragius made
-Please!- Laplace said with disdain and with a slap he knocked Laplace out of combat...
I took advantage of this slight distraction and put everything I had into an attack on Laplace's arm.
I put all my strength and speed into a blade of light that made a path of destruction until it hit Laplace.
All my efforts were in vain as I was barely able to scratch the armor a little and this scratch was instantly repaired.
-shit!- I muttered as I walked away from him for a few meters
-Huh? You're running away? - Laplace said with a smile
Take a deep breath, inhale air and let out a scream
-raaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuur!!!- I screamed, it was a magical scream or vocal magic ot The Doldia Tribe
It was effective and Laplace fell to one knee while trembling.
-f-fucking!!- he tried to mutter while I lunged at him
With the God Sword I could barely make a scratch on the armor while Laplace works to get up.
Ruigerd emerged from the bushes and launched his spear at Laplace's neck, a move that he barely dodged.
Peragius on the other hand did not appear, apparently the damned one is either dead or unconscious....
I could feel the armor begin to crack slightly.
-n-no...noo!...noooooo!!- Laplace shouted while creating a shockwave that made me and Ruigerd move away from him.
-haaaaaaa!!!- The scream as he struggled to his feet But..
In a move that I could see but being so blinded by anger Laplace couldn't, Alek cut off one of Laplace's arms with Kajakut and stood next to me
-yeaaaag!!!- Laplace screamed in agony only to be sent flying by a blow from another suit of armor about three meters high
-Sorry for the delay sir!!- Rudeus said from the armor
-It doesn't matter, concentrate on the fight!!- I told him
As expected the armor and Laplace regenerated
But now in front of me was our trump card...
