“That’s right, I need to tell you something about the Dark Lord.” Lyon started as they drove home, he revealed everything about the use of life force and how the Dark Lord might be the strongest entity but is still weak if there isn’t anyone he could draw life from.Lyon made sure he took his time explaining everything to them, he needed them to be prepared for anything since they’d still have to leave the house for training.“The only way we can get Monsters to fight against is if we go outside, that way he’s going to get a signal and send a monster.” He finished.The car was silent for a while as everyone started pondering on what Lyon had just said, they realized that it was true.The streets happen to be peaceful whenever there is no one outside but as soon as they step out of the veil, they always have a monster or two to fight.“So we’ll just stay in the house like we’re some sort of prisoner?” Chelsey asked and Lyon shook his head.“That’s why you want the citizens to come back
Chelsey’s heart clenched, beads of sweat broke out of her forehead and the more she fought with the really powerful monster she was fighting, the harder it was for her to go on.And not just her but the rest of the team too, Elen felt like she’s pushing herself too hard already, she coughed and blood came out of her mouth.Abraham, who is still so weak, has a lot on his plate too and his son, Asher has been doing everything in his power to make sure that he’s able to help his father.Everything seemed off and weird, they couldn’t shake off the feeling, they could also feel just how bloodthirsty the monsters they were fighting were.“Has anyone seen the chosen?!” Asher asked, his voice loud as everyone looked around. They knew Lyon was missing but they thought he had gone to check for the portal as usual.Chelsey could tell that that was not what had happened, she could feel that something was terribly wrong and neither of them could feel Lyon’s life force anywhere around them.“The Ch
“He’s going to be fine, we shouldn’t worry about him.” Kelvin said with a smile even though he’s probably more worried than the rest of the team.They took rounds checking on the people they’d saved and after over thirty minutes of waiting, the team soon arrived and along with them was Felix Darius, the vice captain.“I didn’t think you were going to come with them,” Elen said as she walked towards him while the other officers took care of the strangers.“Really?” Felix raised an eyebrow and Elen laughed as they greeted each other as though they hadn’t seen each other when she was leaving.Felix asked for more details and Elen gave him everything she had, they didn't know much about the people except for the fact that they came from a totally different dimension.They lived in a different world but the people also seemed civil enough to eat their kind of food so it wasn’t so bad, they’re going to be able to take care of them until everything was fine.“Did you think the Dark Lord brou
Lyon spat out blood, there was limitation to his powers, his calculations weren't accurate and he could feel himself getting weaker as the fight went on.“Come on, Lyon Armstrong!” The Dark Lord mocked as he struck Lyon with yet another hit, “didn’t you call me a coward, who’s the coward now?!” The Dark Lord added.Lyon’s body weakened, he had tried everything in his power to at least hit the Dark Lord but it felt as though all of his strikes were going through him instead of hitting him.He winced, his body seemed to be giving up on him and Lyon could feel the flashbacks filling his mind as his life flashed right before his eyes.There’s no way he could hit the Dark Lord in his own territory, Lyon tried to look for a way to communicate with his friends but all communication links were cut off when he got into the Dark World.His magic held no water and he remembered the necklace his parents gave him but resorting to that right now was the last thing he wanted to do.“Am I really weak
It was an intense fight, the Dark Lord had suffered a really great hit and he didn’t need a soothsayer to tell him that he was really going to die if the fight went on.His gaze lifted and Lyon’s eyes were still really red, he couldn’t see anything and was only moving on his instinct. The Dark Lord spat out blood as he held his chest.Looking around, there was nowhere left for him to hide as Lyon had blown up everything, all the cover he could possibly have has been blown and he knew that the most reasonable thing to do at this point is to send Lyon back to his world.“What happened to all those energy you had while you were attacking me earlier on?” Lyon taunted, he could also see that the Dark Lord couldn’t go on anymore and he’d only resorted to running.“You called me weak and yet you’re the one running with you tail between you legs,” Lyon laughed as he walked, he didn’t need to run, he already knew that he was going to catch up with the Dark Lord.“I really wish I could keep fig
Lyon felt more relieved than ever after seeing the look on his friend’s faces, he was glad he finally got back to them, that happiness was one that nothing else could match.His eyes became too heavy to keep open, his body still hurts like crazy and with nothing else but relief washing over him, Lyon finally closed his eyes.“LYON!” Chelsey immediately yelled, unable to wrap her head around the fact that Lyon made it this far only to die on them.“I feel….” Lyon slurred, he wanted nothing more than to sleep, he needed to regain all the strength he’d lost while he was fighting with the Dark Lord.He also wanted to relive the fight because he doesn’t want to waste much time when it was time for a rematch and this time, he wanted the rematch to be decided on his term.He couldn’t possibly let the Dark Lord pull him into the Dark World again like it was nothing, he needs to have a stronger will and a much more powerful strength that would enable him to bring the Dark Lord out of his world
“I knew you were fine, you know, it’s going to take more than that to actually hurt you but I was so worried, I thought you were dead but I knew you weren’t.” Chelsey rambled on, she was barely thinking as she kept talking while Lyon was trying to wrap his head around what she was trying to say. Her head was on his shoulder and it didn’t take long for him to notice just how wet his shoulder had gotten, she had been crying while trying to express herself at the same time. He knew that this was what the Sovereign King was talking about, the others were good with being reasonable with the way they felt when he wouldn’t wake up. They knew he needed the rest and so knowing that he’s still alive was more than enough for them but Chelsey was different, he could always feel her presence. He had to fight against his will to actually wake up because he wanted to learn more from the Sovereign King. Smiling to himself, Lyon pulled her away from him and he saw just how red her eyes had
“FUCK IT!” The Dark Lord screamed as he watched Lyon, he had been depressed right since the moment he had ran away from the fight with Lyon.“I should have killed him, I could have killed him! Why didn’t I kill him?!” The questions lived rent free in his head, he had the upper hand for hours but he still couldn’t take down Lyon.He could have stomped on him and right now, he would have become history but he didn’t have the power to do that even after all his bluffs.The Dark Lord watched as Lyon roamed around without veiling his presence and he knew that it was on purpose and Lyon was only checking to see if he was going to send monsters.He wanted to, he wanted to send multiple powerful monsters Lyon’s way but on a second though he stopped it, he wanted to have the satisfaction of killing Lyon himself.Having a monster do that wouldn’t give him that satisfaction, he wanted to stomp on Lyon’s pride, he wanted to do things that would make Lyon see it clearly that he’s not supposed to
