Leo hovered above the ground as he transported the four ladies his master had asked him to carry. The four women on Leo's back were not happy; each angry at Arthur for his decision, they all felt the presence just as they left. “When will he stop treating us like kids?” Min-yin asked staring at the stars shimmering above. Evangelist placed a hand on her friend's shoulder. She felt What Min-yin was feeling but she was sure Arthur had a reason for sending them away. “I'm sure he has his reasons.” Min-yin huffed in frustration. “I don't give two cents about his reasons, you all felt the presence. We could've helped him!” Evangelist shook her head, “Had we stayed behind we would've gotten in Arthur's way.” “I agree with Evangelist,” Horneva pitched in, Lisa nodded in agreement as well. Min-yin pouted, even so— she still wanted to help Arthur. He helped her before. It did not feel right to her to just leave Arthur with an unknown foe and with no backup. What if he got injured? Wha
The forest moved to protect its goddess. The tree roots swung at Evangelist who was forced to jump back to avoid being pinned by them. She glared at the woman before her and was concerned about the wound that was closing itself erasing the progress she had made. Scanning for weaknesses, Evangelist found the weak point in the roots' defenses and darted toward Sing; she maneuvered her body through the opening the roots made and was right in front of Sing again. Her lightning sword raised above her head as she swung down with the intent of separating the goddess into two. To her shock, the lightning-forged sword dissipated into lightning and it scattered around the trees. A hand grabbed her throat ignoring the electrocution effect her Thundercat Maiden form induced to anything that touched her. She felt her consciousness start to fade from the lack of oxygen, Evangelist knew she had to get out of the hold before she passed out. She held Sing's hand with hers and struggled to set hers
Horneva heard the far-distance explosions. It seemed like Evangelist and Min-yin were already fighting their adversaries. She, however, could not comprehend the person before him, he just sat there nonchalantly. His dark eyes stared at her as if he was staring into her soul.Vali chuckled, the girl before him was an interesting one. He had never met such a woman before, so determined and strong but against him, being determined and strong was just the tip of the iceberg. “Surrender,” Vali said. Horneva clicked her tongue. She knew that attitude very well. Her parents used to use it when they thought what she was doing was futile.“Never, you'll have to take my corpse.” Vali sighed, he opened his palm and a dark aura covered the palm. “Don't say I did not give you a chance.” Horneva seeing the dark aura, released her aura; her aura took the form of cards.A myriad of cards at her disposal preparing herself to fight the man before her. “Who are you looking?” A voice originated fro
Min-yin and Balor stared at one another, earlier the two had their fight interrupted by the others earlier but now they had another chance, to settle the score. The rainbow-colored Wings on Min-yin's back increased in length and width as she allowed her Qi to flare out. Her right eye turned golden with a clock design on them. She grinned and launched herself at Balor, jumping up mid-way as she changed her direction to attack his face. Balor opened his eye and shot a crimson blast at the girl coming to him. Min-yin's wings flapped as she maneuvered herself over the blast and she punched Balor on the chin sending the giant flying into the trees. Explosions from the east and west appeared in the distance, Min-yin smiled. It seemed like those two could handle themselves which made her worries die down. Balor's body crashed into the trees toppling a majority of them. His blue form glowed and the size of Balor slowly started to decrease, the two waves separating into two parts. When th
Arthur turned to Min-yin after disposing of Balor. He walked toward her body and knelt beside her, he could sense her Qi slowly diminishing in the aftermath. He placed a hand on her chest and closed his eyes concentrating on his Qi and bringing it to the surface in an attempt to revive her. His attempt was a failure. Tears flowed down his cheeks, if only he had arrived earlier, Min-yin would not have pushed herself to such limits; how was he a protector if he failed to protect one of his loved ones? He didn't know where the others were which made his anguish more greater. His tears fell on Min-yin's face prompting the woman in his arms to open her eyes, the light in them slowly vanishing. She could barely make out Arthur's silhouette. “Ar….Arthur? Are you there?... It's so dark... I'm scared...” Arthur upon hearing Min-yin's voice held her right hand with his, reassuring the woman in his arms. “I'm here.” “That's... Good... To... Know…”His heart throbbed, the shallow voice and
Arthur distanced himself from the six-armed man and landed 25 feet away from him. His eyes glared daggers at the man who was in the way of his ambition, his retribution. Everyone in the mountain had to incur his wrath. “Get out of my way!” Arthur said in a low tone; a feral growl escaping his lips. Rakshesha just laughed. The boy had a spirit of a tiger but like everyone including the gods, they all allowed their emotions to dictate their actions. There was no room for grief in this world, he as a Rakshesha knew that better than anyone. Excommunicated for things out of his bounds as a youngling, forced to watch as his race turned on one another at the behest of the great god. He knew that emotions on the battlefield were weapons of self-destruction. Also, his ties to Grandline made him forever loyal to her. She saved him when he was being prosecuted. She gave him a home and showed him love, that was why he did not want to let Arthur proceed any further. “I won't let you!” Arth
With the playing field evened by Evangelist's presence, Arthur had more room to maneuver. He was going to fight with nearly what he had, to exert his dominance on the man before him. He who is unparalleled by any deity aside from the Exoduses of rebirth. The sword of Archon changed shape and became two smaller blades with chains around them. The chains wrapped around Arthur's arms making the blades an extension of his reach. He stared at Rakshesha and threw the first blade, tugging on the chain making the blade more sporadically in the air; Rakshesha jumped back as the blade hit the ground before him and he had to again jump to avoid the second one. Arthur smirked, his chaotic Qi traveled up the extended chains and into the blades allowing him to manipulate the strength the blade had. Pulling the chains upward, a huge chunk of the mountain soared to the sky and he changed its movement path with a gentle flick of his wrist. Arthur swung the slab of rock sideways and released the bl
“Is everyone okay?” “I am,” “Me too,” Voices cut through the tumultuous atmosphere. The three fallen demi-gods rose— and their eyes flashed a bit gaining some light in them. They looked at each other. By some miracle, they had survived the unimaginable. They had underestimated the power of Linux. She decimated them and turned their world into nothingness. Midas looked around confused; he was not sure where they were, he looked at Alucard and Lily. The confusion on his face increased as he saw their appearances. This was not how they looked the last time. They were different people altogether. Lily saw the look Midas was giving them, she too was confused about why the man looked like that. He had the voice of Midas yet the body was different, she looked at her partner and voiced her thoughts. “Why are you guys looking like that? I can hear the voices, they belong to you but your appearances are different,”Alucard hummed, he knew from Dracula that they unlike the rest of thei
