Thorn Of Darkness

DD

Rameel stood there gazing at the meteor-sized mud ball on its way to destroy the whole clan, the whole Kabila, in mere seconds. But suddenly he seemed not troubled by their doom. Like he need not worry about them but himself at the moment. Rameel turned his back towards the House he honors, his family, and his dear friends. 

He smiled and spun on his leg and sat down on the ground. "Traps? What a pain, I hate people who like to do tricks and not face their opponent head-on. You see I am not a guy who likes playing games, I seek to end war before it's even begun." He said while looking at the snow beneath him as if he was talking to another man. 

He covered his right hand with metal, "Metal Creation Prodigy: The Black Metal." He said, and punched through the snow and ground itself. He tightened his grip on something like he had found something buried down there. And pulled his hand out, and the ground busted open as Rameel stood up and pulled a man from the ground. He was a skinny man, wearing nothing but a rag around his thighs, the rag was so small it looked like an insult to the word rag. It was tattered and still covered the upper side of his legs.

He had no hair but had a slight beard. Wearing golden-colored bangle-like bracelets on both wrists. He was covered in mud. Rameel placed his hand on that guy's neck and pulled him up, he stood at 5 feet and no more. "You thought you could deceive me with such a simple Prodigy trick? You were beneath me all this time, that's how you saved that fire guy as well. By hiding him in the earth itself. That's quite interesting tricks you have." Rameel threw him on the ground and turned back to see the meteor destroy his hometown and the Kabila of which he will be Sardar one day. 

But, the second meteor touched the shield that was made by Rameel's father to stop the enemy attack, the meteor passed through it with no trouble at all, but it did not pass but phased through it like it phased through the whole of Kabila and vanished in the air.

"Illusion, it might be. You had me for a second." Rameel turned back, that guy had not moved a muscle. He was lying on the ground, terrified, or maybe the light had him blind for he had been living underground for a long time. The earth threw out another body, it was Adnan. 

"Now, where is the third guy? I mean, the guy who created that giant ball of mirage." Rameel inquired them. "Third guy?" Adnan stood up slowly, "You will never find him, I assure you. No matter how strong you are you will not win against us, for it's time for the three of us to Dumj." Adnan took a step back, "Imran!" He shouted. "Damj Kawahid!" He shouted again. The guy who was lying down on the ground shouted the same thing and another unfamiliar voice echoed, "Damj Kawahid!"

Both of them started glowing like their skin was gold and the sun had fallen on it. The light was blinding, another light appeared right next to them. I took the shape of a man, but his face wasn't clear. "You weren't able to notice me, you damn fool. Now, you die." The light said, as all three of them tore apart and their pieces of body, started running wind in a circle.

"What the hell is this now? I have other things to attend to you wrecked fools. Just die and be with it."

The light started to fade, "Die? You speak like you have won. Do not misunderstand your victory against us when we were incomplete. Now that we have merged, you shall taste death." A seven-foot-tall man with 4 hands and two legs stood in front of Rameel. He had long white hair covering half of his face, and weird scars on his whole body, as if his body parts were sewn together. "Now you face me human." He had four hands and both upper hands held long curled swords, and both of his lower hands wielded shields. His swords and shields seemed to be made of mud and covered in blue fire.

"What in the hell are you?" Rameel asked surprisingly, "Did you just join your limbs to fight me?" 

"We three together as one are known to be one member of the Elemental Ranger squad. They call this form The Triad Demon Demon. We three Qasim, Adnan, and I Imran, we three will end your miserable life." Triad Demon slowly walked towards Rameel.

"Dream on, kids." Rameel created a spear and hurled it toward him, but Triad Demon simply blocked it with his shield. Triad Demon advanced and swung his sword, Rameel covered his chest with armor, but the sword crushed the armor and threw Rameel a few feet away with just one thrust. Rameel tried to stand up, but Triad Demon swung both of his swords and tried to take him out in one shot. Rameel rolled his body on the ground and stood up, spitting blood. "One direct hit and I am done for. His physical ability has risen to a demonic level, and he is considerably fast as well. I should come up with a strategy if I want to live--"

Rameel thought to himself, and then he just yawned. "Whatever! That's future me's problem. I am sure he will be able to handle it."

Triad Demon came towards him and swung his sword, Rameel stepped back and saved his neck by an inch. "Easy monster. That was close." Triad Demon swung his other sword trying to attack his neck again. Rameel jumped back but this time the sword made contact with his neck. Few drops it was but he bled from his neck. Rameel created spears and thirsted them towards his face, Triad Demon deflected both with his sword and threw his shields so that he could catch Rameel from his neck.

"You are dead." He said as he pulled the weight of Rameel from the ground, Rameel punched him in the face and kicked him in the gut, and that gave him enough time to jump back. But, as he was falling back, Triad Demon used his other two hands to swing both of his swords at once. Rameel tried to defend his head and covered it with his hands for he had no time to use any Prodigy. Both of Rameel's hands fell far from his body. His body fell on the ground, but only for a second, as he stood back up in no time. 

Triad Demon looked surprised, as there was no blood coming from his body even after both of his arms fell. "Your arms aren't real." He lept back, "That does explain the power behind your punch."

Rameel stood in front of him with no arms. "Yeah, gave them to my Eldris. It was but a small sacrifice for such magnificent power."

Triad Demon looked disappointed, "You people disgust me, for power, you would trade with the devil himself. I no longer wish to fight you, for I won't fight a man who is not at his best."

Rameel looked at his arms that got sliced. "You think I will let you go?" 

Triad Demon looked at him, "You haven't used much of your Prodigy after we merged. I know you can feel it as well. We were draining you of your Djinn Energy. This form is taken by using the Eldris force of your opponent, as the fight goes on he gets weak and you get stronger and stronger. You are low on Djinn energy and you are short on two hands, and on the other side we have 4 hands, and a lot of Eldris force that we took from you and ours as well. We stand here with not even one scratch on our body and you are bleeding from your leg and I don't know if you have noticed or not but the wound on your belly has reopened as well."

Rameel looked down and saw his blood draining from his leg and gut. 

"Don't feel bad, this was always our plan to begin with, draining you off all of your Djinn force. We knew it would have been impossible to win against you, for you had more Djinn force than all three of us combined. You will die from blood drainage soon, do not worry about your family or House for they will be joining you shortly." 

Rameel looked pale, he had no answer to give to the man for he was saying nothing but the truth. He had an advantage over him, fighting would be a waste of time. The Triad Demon turned his back and started walking towards Kabila. But he did not know who he was fighting, he didn't know this guy didn't know when to give up.

Rameel's body started glowing, "Then I will just surpass my limits and become more than what past me was. Now, you will know why they call me Divine Beast of Battlefield."
