Horneva's flee or survival skills kicked into action as she witnessed the blazing hell flames descend to the ground. Even from the distance she was with them, she could feel their intensity, they made the atmosphere boil and become extremely hot. Without much waste, Horneva threw her deck of cards up and selected all the aces.Qi gave animation to the aces, as shields of aces formed above her head amalgamating to cover her and the proximity close to her as the blaze touched them and the ground.An explosion ensured from the flames connecting with the aces and even though the Ace shields were obliterated in the process of protecting Horneva, they managed to scatter some of the flames further away during the explosion. Horneva got to one knee, breathing heavily. She had underestimated the creature before her and it wasn't trying.It was in that moment, that Ikki and Mineta arrived at her side after escaping the ruins that suddenly bursted into searing flames. Mineta looked up and was ho
Relief flashed on their faces as the looming threat was sealed, only leaving Lucifer standing there to be conquered. Mineta and Horneva knew that they weren't half as strong to take down the devil in front of them and that they needed to retreat to inform the higher ups.Mineta looked at Horneva who was holding the card that had possessed Ikki in it, she shuffled it with her cards making it vanish into the deep void where the extra cards were held inside the table number 2 cards.“We need to get out of here, ” Mineta said, terror written all over his face as he looked at the entity that was looking at them without doing anything.“Yeah I know, but how are we going to get away? It's not like Arthur's pet can help us,” Horneva replied, she too keeping a vigilant eye on Lucifer.Lucifer moved a bit, his gesture alarming the two as it shook the ruins. His eyes peering way beyond Mineta and Horneva, specifically looking inside the deck of cards Horneva hid, the card Ikki was sealed in. The
Min-yin and Evangelist came out of the dust cloud they had created. The former had her hands tightened into fists as she looked at the spot Ikki and the two were standing.She looked at Evangelist and smirked. “I'll handle this myself, you tend to those two”Evangelist agreed; she knew better than anyone Min-yin's strength. She was a force of nature to reckon with, a typhoon of explosions. It was best if she kept out of the woman's way. She left the battlefield and went to tend to Horneva and Mineta on the side.Crimson Qi sparked around Min-yin's fists as it took for of runes running from her palms to the back of her hands and up her arms till her shoulders. Beneath her eyes, golden liners appeared as she was now accessing a majority of her latent power.COSMIC FORCEHer smirk only grew when Ikki clawed his way out of the hole they had buried him in. Min-yin was glad that the young lad didn't perish in a single blow or this would've been too easy and a letdown since she was already t
Ikki was caught in the threshold of explosions, his body completely disintegrating and regenerating from when the explosions sporadically hit him. They were a nuisance to him for sure because he couldn't move around without the space becoming so exceptionally violent it would expand and explode in his face.“Enough!!” Ikki commanded, the flames of purgatory he welded through Lucifer's possession escaping his body burning away the Qi in space that had been the course of the chained reactions pillaging his body with such intensity.His dark eyes looked at Min-yin who was covered in flames from the Kitsune. He wasn't pleased that the spirit had turned against his host, and choose a lesser specie to represent it in battle against him. He just had to show the female who he was, and why he was heralding over Hades the God of the underworld and Hel the goddess of death. He was more superior than them, and he was going to show why.Gravitational manipulation od the highest order caused the ce
The flight to the united Kingdom was going off without a hitch, aside from the murderous glares Arthur was receiving from Lieh everything was fine. His daughter was rather quiet which was unlike her— but he didn't stress it. He had given her specific orders to check the continuum incase gates were to open around the world.Arthur sighed, he was bored there wasn't anything he could do at the moment aside from sit on the flight and watch the clouds move. He never thought via flight it would be that far, it had been over 10 hours now of the same thing. Sleep, eat and repeat. It was getting annoying, Arthur could feel himself slipping into insanity the longer the flight continued.‘Father!’ Mirai's voice cut through Arthur's thoughts.Arthur immediately perked up, finally something to relieve his boredom with. He sat upright and focused on the monitor behind the seats but clearly not paying attention to it. He was more focused on the conversation he was having with his creation and daught
Arthur looked towards the direction of the voice and his eyes widened for a fraction of a second— standing on the entrance leading inside the airport was the queen.Arthur had expected it to be some old woman in her 80's not this young woman. From what he could tell, she was not older than him by that much; something about her made Arthur respect her, she was a queen at such a young age. That alone made her stand out.Lisa Montgomery had long black tresses, ghostly pale skin; wide cyan eyes, full red lips and a beauty mark under her lips. She wore her tiara on the crown of her head showing her nobility while around her shoulders hiding her clothing was a large red robe.She stared at everyone including Arthur and Arnold, her cyan eyes beaming as she focused her attention on Arthur; She smiled a bit and returned her attention to the rest of the people standing there. They were here because of her, she called a summit to discuss the troubleshooting gates around the world that had been l
Arthur paced around his room after leaving the palace he had too many things on his mind— Linux had interacted with this world that meant she would find him and the Yggdrassil was in danger once more. He could feel the stress rising up; why couldn't she just stay in her own lane.He had no time to waste now— breathing deeply, Arthur cleared his mind. He had been postponing the clearing of the quest the Arodis system. Arthur at the back of his mind knew that it was inevitable; one day he would have to fight Linux but he was still not powerful enough.Arthur sat down on the bed and folded his hands in a lotus position. He was the guardian of the Yggdrassil, if it falls all his predecessors hardwork would be lost— as the last remaining descendant of Lunox he had to be strong, strong enough to fight. His mentor Gusion died vigilantly like a hero, it was his time to step up and protect the secret of the universe. The secret of eternity.Arthur's mind suddenly concocted a hypothesis— The Ar
The sphere glowed tremendously as the Qi within it fueled the ability to be triggered— The light it projected shined right on top of Dante removing every ounce of tainting from his body through casting the holy light of repairing and recreation the light of Eternity.HOLY MAIDEN TEARSThe syphoned negative Qi being purified before being absorbed into Arthur's body. He huffed and puffed hard— because of the physical and mental toll the technique was having on his body. His perseverance showed when Dante returned to normal, the shadowy figure he once was now removed leaving behind a normal entity.Dante looked around, he was in a place he couldn't recognize, the last time he was awake; He was fighting against his sibling, fighting to protect his wife and unborn child. Now he was in this barren land, he didn't understand how he got there.Light as a feather, Dante moved from where he was to where Arthur was free falling— he wrapped his hands around the boy balancing him and in the proces
