When Zadicus’ sword clashed with Persephone’s it indicated the start of their fight. When they started, it was the signal for all of them to advance.To fight.“I will take Daphne, you go for Tristan.” Freya whispered to Randall who was hesitant to hurt Daphne right now. That’s why he didn’t want to share any bond with her.He couldn’t bring himself to hurt her.“Okay…” He breathed out, focusing on Tristan so he wouldn't reduce the army they had just gained in the time of need by his bloodlust. “You protect Persephone, I will protect you.” Tabit whispered, coming before Cassandra, watching out for Avin and Vera while protecting Cassandra.Persephone needed her help the most. Persephone could be the strongest soldier of Aziel but Zadicus was the strongest wizard alive. There was a huge difference in their terms of powers.Randall created a wall, trapping himself and Tristan away from each other so he won’t grow insane and start killing people mindlessly.“We did not have to do this,
Narrowing his eyes, Avin whispered her name, “V..Vera..” He couldn’t believe she stabbed him. She couldn’t believe herself that she did this but the events occurring right now had left a negative impact on her cognitions.“Stop it, just stop it. Don’t hurt anyone.” She whispered desperately, impotent to carry the ache in her chest. She couldn’t allow her heart to hurt innocents.“Vera.. Why?” He asked, unable to move anymore, feeling his body becoming closer, turning powerless as she could feel her life falling apart.She was losing her purpose of life by her brave action of accepting death.“Don’t…” She whispered, losing her breath, heart becoming heavy by the path she chose. She began to lose her grip on her own self. Her hands were trembling, tears glistening in her eyes while Avin never fathomed Vera would stab him from behind with those quivering hands. “How could you?” He asked, coughing up blood, falling on his knees, unable to move when Vera trapped him inside her illusionar
Freya turned and saw what was happening and narrowed her eyes in pity but didn’t let it reach her heart because her bloodlust was far higher than her compassion.Licking her lips, she turned to Daphne who was ready to fight Freya. She could tell the difference in power. Freya was the Winter’s Witch, she is the strongest of Gaimore. On Persephone and Tristan’s level.“Well, well, one- actually two are down from your side.” She mumbled, drawing her sword slowly in a charming way. Daphne lowered her gaze and glanced at Vera compassionately.She was feeling sad for her. What she did required immense courage and by doing this, she had taken a new step in life.“Avin was never a part of us. He was destined to die.” Daphne breathed out, not feeling bad about Avin’s death. They knew he was the sacrificial pawn. Plus Tristan’s resentment detached everyone from Avin. They knew he was nothing but a piece of flesh. They never considered him among them.“Hmm. I agree. Never liked him either.” She
Persephone and Zadicus’s sword clashed, staring dead into each other’s eyes, growling. Life left them at the point where they have to fight each other.“Don’t make this harder for both of us, Persephone and go back.” Zadicus growled, pushing her away but she moved to the side, gritting her teeth.“Go where, Zadicus?” She asked, rushing to attack him again as they both were fighting each other without any intention to pull back.“To Aziel where your memories haunt me?” She asked, sliding her sword with his, eyes gleaming with dejection but she refused to halt.“I don’t have time for you.” He whispered before whispering his spell to steal her ability to use magic for a moment and continue.“Purloin.” He casted but she countered it by jumping out of his range and putting her fire in between to stop him.“Same trick won’t work twice.” She growled, holding her phoenix, gritting her teeth, casting her spell, going all out.“Unstoppable Conflagration.” Intensive spells began to spread and wi
"Tsk." Zadicus growled, knowing he must do something to stop her before her emotions lead to devastation.Just a little longer. Zadicus thought. He released his dark forces, patterns spreading, releasing a dark energy, only the ones with a strong heart could bear.He gripped his sword firmly, using the spell he didn’t want to, “Trap thy soul in my vicinity. Latch them to the world of misery- Circle Of Demise.”Tristan gasped when he noticed Zadicus had cast this spell, horrifying him to fathom what Zadicus intended to do.“Don’t tell me… are you going to… kill her?” Tristan asked in disbelief when a wide circle began to appear in the sky, made with ancient patterns.Tristan fell on his knees, terrified where things were leading, pulling his hair in anguish, shutting his eyes when things were going horribly. Losing his grip on his cognition when misery spreaded everywhere.“Stop it.. Just stop…”The circle began to glow deep red with hands and hollow faces coming out of it followed by
“Stop it.. Just stop…” Tristan whispered, pulling his hairs, voice cracking. Hands shaking, not having the strength to fight among each other. Making a deeply grieved face.He remained like this in his miserable thoughts until someone kicked him from behind, throwing him on the ground. He hissed by the abrupt action and looked up at the person only to find Zen with Ruth there.“Ah, you and your sensitive heart.” He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, smirking at Tristan after witnessing his vulnerability.“No one had to fight.” Zen said, coming closer and offering his hand. “What…?” He trailed off, unable to comprehend what he was talking about.“We don’t have to fight. Leave the decision to them.” Zen whispered, looking up, pointing where Zadicus and Kriss were facing each other.The point where two brothers, two best friends would fight to finalize the end of their journey.Tristan looked there for a second and back at Zen, taking his hand with perturbation visible on his face
Zadicus and Kriss were facing each other with an austere expression, hiding any hesitation and pain of seeing the day where two friends had to fight to death.“Kriss.” Zadicus breathed out his hand. Both of them were holding their swords, refusing to back away without putting up a lethal fight.“Zadicus.” Kriss called his name too, features hardening, ready to do whatever it takes to stop him from embracing the darkness ahead.“Move out of my way.” Zadicus growled, taking a step closer, not liking his stubbornness.“By all means, I must not move, Zadicus. ‘You’ stop.” Kriss enunciated, creating a strong tension in the air.“Don’t blame me for my actions then.” Zadicus growled, posing a fighting stance, ready to fight each if they must. “You too.” Kriss growled back and in a split second, Zadicus appeared before Kriss, raising his sword to attack him but the images of their childhood flashed before him.Kriss noticed his expression, knowing it must be hard for him as well and jumped b
“What tremendous powers.” Freya whispered, her eyes widened in disbelief after seeing the ravage their fight was causing.“That is why My Liege didn’t want to fight him. Look at the damage.” Daphne’s voice came as she slowly woke up. Holding her head, seeing their unfathomable powers. They were far away yet could feel the intensity of it.“Daphne, are you okay?” Randall asked worriedly, holding her. “Hmm.” She hummed, making a disturbed face, not removing her eyes from the fight taking place.“What destruction.” Ahlum whispered, eyes widened in appall. “Zadicus. Kriss…” Persephone held a straight face, her heart was blazing from inside, she was perturbed about both of them. “Shouldn’t we try to take the relic and destroy it as they fight?” Juniper suggested, not liking where their fight was led but Vera sighed. “We can’t. Tristan and others would come to stop him and judging what happened with Freya, I doubt Randall or Zen would hurt Daphne or Ruth.” Vera explained, knowing their
