The Abyssal Servant was still pretty confident on his chances of winning. The reason for that is he has higher realm than the three. A realm suppression can be felt by a lower realm. Higher realm Awakeners can suppress the lower realm Awakeners limiting the abilities and stats they can perform like a debuff skills. Every major realm is equivalent to 20% reduced of stats.
That is the norm, however Argus and the twins does not belong to this category.
Argus was the fastest one so he reach the abyssal servant first. He tried to stab him he enemy dodge his attack. The abyssal servant conjured a magic bomb.
Starting from the 2nd realm which was the Core Forging Realm. Every Awakener need to make their own Mana Cores so Mana can flow out outside their bodies. In this realm Awakener can now use their Mana outside their bodies.
For magic awakeners, they can now conjure spells like fireballs, lighting spear, heal, buff, debuff, etc depending on what attribute they have and what skill they posses.
For physical awakeners, they can coat their weapons to be more sharper and coat their bodies with Mana to have more durable defense.
This the realm were an Awakener can be truly called a Awakener. The Abyssal Servant is conjuring a magic bomb slowly since his Mana inside his Mana Veins are in disarray.
"Take this you ants!"(Abyssal Servant)
He completed the mana bomb and he aim at the twins who is running towards him. Astelle and Kelvin avoided the bomb.
Boom!
"Argh"
They avoided it but they were still caught up by the explosion. The three rolled to the ground. The Abyssal Servant conjured another magic bomb to fire at the twins but Argus will not let that happen. Seeing this the Abyssal Servant move away to dodge the spear that is coming.
"Tsk"
The twins manage to get up.
"Thanks!"(Kelvin)
They immediately dash to the enemy. Argus continued attacking using his spear to interrupt the enemy to conjure magic bomb. The two knows this so they tried their best to close the gap.
"Kelvin throw me!"(Astelle)
Kelvin without a second thought reach Astelle's hand, held it tightly and he starts spinning to get a momentum and he throws his sister to the Servant. Astelle then prepared her sword in a drawing style.
Argus continue stabbing the abyssal servant. He look at the direction of the twins and saw Astelle flying. He was distracted during combat and the abyssal servant take advantage of it. The abisal servant launch a punch on his solar plexus. Argus knows that an attack is coming but it is already too late to dodge so we can only block it using the spear.
The punch was covered in a crimson miasma, so the strength of it is no joke plus the cultivation rank of the abyssal servant is higher.
"Argh"
Argus was sent flying back at Kelvin's place. The abyssal servant was about to conjure another magic bomb but Astelle, already reach him. He started panicking when he saw her in a sword drawing style.
Astelle returned the sword to its sheet.
She close her eyes and focus her mind to only one thing.
"No! I need to dodge! It's too late!"(Abyssal Servant)
'First Form: Sword Draw'(Astelle)
Shing!
"Kill!"(Astelle)
"Mana Shield! No it's not enough!"
The Abyssal knows she cannot dodge Astelle so he is already reinforcing the mana shield.
Swoosh!
Kra-kra-crack!
The shield that he had conjured was not reinforced. With her sword drawing and the momentum of the throw she easily destroyed the barrier and still have the momentum for another attack.
"Go to hell!"
Stab!
Astelle used her sword to stab his heart. The Abyssal Servant became horrified then his expression turned into a madman.
"I will take you to hell with me hahaha!"
The Abyssal Servant then started to detonate his Mana Core. Possessed with a tenacious Vitality he did not immediately died.
"No! he's trying to detonate himself!"(Astelle)
Thinking that she will die. She cannot do anything while in mid air to stop herself.
'Please make it in time!'(Kelvin)
Kelvin who saw just stared what's happening in front of him and prayed silently.
{Astelle's POV}
'Sorry Kelvin, sorry dad, mom, grandpa! Sorry everyone!'(Astelle)
Astelle just close her eyes and waiting for her death.
Swoosh!
Something warm suddenly wrap around her. The momentum send Astelle and that 'thing' flying in a bit more distance from the Abyssal Servant. Before she could think of anything else.
Booom!
Astelle heard a loud explosion behind her. She then braced herself for the explosion's impact but she only felt slightly stronger impact that her physique can block easily.
"Argh!"
Astelle heard a groan above her. Astelle was shocked that the 'thing' that save her was a person. The person and Astelle rolled a considerable distance. After the explosion, she open her eyes to look at the person that saved her life, and that person is Fallen.
Fallen was now breathing heavily and was unconscious. His whole body was tattered and full of burns. Astelle was shocked because she didn't think Fallen would save her. Hearing the panting of Fallen, Astelle instantly bring out a potion inside her storage ring. She then tried to let Fallen drink the potion but he can't swallow it since his unconscious.
"No it's not working what should I do!"(Astelle)
Astelle started panicking.
"At this rate he will die!"(Astelle)
The watch in her wrist suddenly vibrated. She look at her wrist and saw the name Kelvin on it. Astelle immediately take the call. Then a holographic face of Kelvin suddenly appeared above the watch.
"Kelvin! What should I do, Fallen is dying. He can't drink the potion even if I force it. At this rate he's gonna die in a few minutes. I need to save him from the brink of death until the Guild come!"(Astelle)
"First of all I'm glad both of are alive. Second, calm down. You cannot help him if you're panicking. Third no one will die!"(Kelvin)
Astelle then start calming herself.
"I'm calm now. What should I do next."(Astelle)
"Ah... oum... You might lose something important to you in order to save him."(Kelvin)
Astelle saw the serious look of her brother but he couldn't careless. He wants to save her saviour so she'll do anything.
"That's fine. I will save him no matter what it takes. He willingly put himself on the line just to save me, a stranger. I can't let him die in front of me! Tell me how can I save him hurry!"(Astelle)
"Okay, okay... Remove his mask and perform... C-P-R."(Kelvin)
"C-C-C-C-P-R?!!"(Astelle)
Astelle was shocked on what she heard.
"Yes C-P-R, you need to let him drink the potion by you kissing him. That's the only way to save him."(Kelvin)
Astelle know how dangerous tthe situation of Fallen. She didn't think too deeply about it and she resolve herself.
"Okay, if sacrificing my fi-fi-fi-first ki-ki-kiss to save him is a small price to pay."(Astelle)
Astelle then tremblingly remove Fallen's mask. As she tried to lift up the mask.
"Argh"
Fallen groaned from pain, Astelle was surprised and she let go of the mask.
"Sister! What are you doing?! Where is your so-called 'I'll do anything to save him!'?"(Kelvin)
"Okay-okau do not startle me!"(Astelle)
Astelle close her eyes, she take a deep breath to calm herself again. As soon as she open her eyes, a resolute expression can be seen on her face. She put her hand on the mask and slowly lift it up. Her hand trembled slightly but she held on to the mask and remove it.
"What?!"(Kelvin)
"How could it be him?!"(Astelle)
As soon as the face mask was remove both Astelle and Kelvin was shocked on who is under the mask. They saw a face of an acquaintance that is having a painful expression.
"Arghhh!"(Argus)
"Sister now is not the time to be shocked!"(Kelvin)
"But!"(Astelle)
The resolve Astelle has was almost broken.
"Just do it! He saved you remember?!"(Kelvin)
The resolve Astelle has was almost broken immediately restored. She drink the potion and store it in her mouth. She then slowly lifted the face of Argus. She slowly lowers her lips to perform CPR. She then slowly transferred the potion on Argus, forcing it down on his throat.
Kelvin on the hologram notice that Argus hard breathing started to slow down and return to normal. The CPR was a success.
"Good job sister! You save him. I'm on my way now!"(Kelvin)
Astelle did not speak and just turn off the call. Astelle face was covered by her long white hair so Kelvin did not see her expression. If her brother can see her expression now, he will immediately conclude that her sister's face now was full of embarrassment.
Without anyone noticing the box in the middle of the magic circle exploded with the Abyssal Servant. Then a white wisp of light flies inside Argus chest. A notification appears on Argus Status Window.
{Kelvin's POV}
"She turned it off, huh. I'm glad that they are both alive."(Kelvin)
Kevin honestly was expecting the worst outcome possible. Remembering what happened before the Abyssal Servant blow his Mana Core.
{Flashback before the Explosion}
After throwing Astelle. Kelvin wants to follow Astelle just in case but 'Fallen' came to him.
"Hurry throw me too!"(Fallen)
"What?"(Kelvin)
"Do it!"(Fallen)
Caught in the seriousness of his voice Kelvin then take one of Fallen hands and he started to spin to gain stronger momentum.
Swoosh!
Fallen was thrown with much more faster than Astelle's flying. Kelvin was panting since he did his best on that spin. Kelvin watch Astelle slash the barrier and also saw her slash the enemies neck. Suddenly a dangerous feeling can be felt in front of him.
Kelvin saw the face of the Abyssal Servant became like that of a madman. He then saw the chest where the core of every Awakener shined in Crimson light. It's a sign that the core has been detonated.
'No, he's gonna suicide. Please make it in time!'(Kelvin)
Kelvin then look at the other person flying on the direction of Astelle. Kelvin prayed that both of them survived but he still expect the worst.
Booom!
