7 Chapter 6

With the Mercenaries

"What the hell is that kid doing?" one of the assassins asked aloud getting nods from his comrades.

"He is probably facing his fears." another said laughing on how stupid a human can be.

"He set the girl down, kill him and then her." the man who could be considered as the leader ordered his subordinates.

"Hai!" they all said in unison.

"Oh man, this kids going to be scared shitless!"

"Yea I can't wait to tea-" before the man could finish his sentence he feels a surge of immense paining coming from his heart, he looks down and notices a long range red spear coated in flames had just pierced his heart.

"What the hell!?"

"What was that?"

The leader began searching for whoever sent the attack but failed to find anyone, all of a sudden her to feels a surge of pain come at him from behind. But the leader not weak, he quickly rips the fire attack from him shocking Karan.

"Over there! It's the human!"

The fallen angel mercenaries turn around to see Karan standing there with narrowed his eyes, they all witness the fire attack slowly fade away into Karan's hand.

"Kill him." he ordered his men who all sprung there wings and charged Karan at immense speed. They failed to see Karan planting his Lance on the ground.

"O Agni" An image of a small sun covered in intense flames shot out engulfing the charging Fallen Angels. They all had no time to react to the wide fire based attack and where instantly sent to ashes.

Karan feels the last presence approaching, he sees a middle-aged man with black hair, unlike other Fallen Angels, he has pointy ears. He also possesses five pairs of black wings with steel feathers. His attire was a simple black robe with some accessories.

"My, my am I impressed for a human to defeat my subordinates." the man known as Kokabiel said to Karan grinning.

"And you are?"

"Kokabiel of the Bibble."

Normally that would've left a chill to run up peoples spines; Kokabiel was an infamous man to fight against God and Satan themselves. It was normal for people to cower in fear at the mention of his name, but he was surprised to see Karan with narrowed eyes rather than coward ones.

'So if he dies, it's all over.'

"Kokabiel, stand still." Karan then instantly shot his Spear at Kokabiel who dodged it with ease,

"Pftt, you have much to learn child." he mocked.

Kokabiel then unleashed a shower of light spears at Sasuke who countered with his own attack, "O Agni kar Raksha" he uttered before a torrent of red lasers began shooting out around Karan. The lasers are a lot faster and lighter than the spears, they are also a lot stronger.

Kokabiel flew around Karan and summonsed a unique looking spear that looked like it was meant for hand to hand fighting rather than simply throwing.

As Karan feels Kokabiel coming up behind him he quickly activates his Mana Burst and looks over his shoulder, he closes his left eye before a red laser cuts through Kokabiels right wing.

'I missed,' he thought breathing heavily; he won't be able to use that technique again. He looks over and sees Kokabiel yelling in pains.

"GAAAAAAH!" The intensity of the laser was no laughing matter; it was extremely painful. Kokabiel quickly thinking that in order to avoid further damage, quickly grabs his massive lance and cuts a portion his right wing off.

He managed to save almost half of it but flying was still a problem, "You!" he said as the pain is still in his body, even if the pain caused by the laser is no longer on him his mind is in shock on how painful the power was even if it was only a few seconds.

Karan noticing that Kokabiel reacted faster than he expected, began fearing the worst. Karan no longer has any prana and is praying that Akeno is not discovered by the Fallen.

Kokabiel starting to feel somebody else come to the fight, quickly disperses without a trace.

Karan sighed in relief but was not all relaxed, he didn't know why he used Brahmastra, but he knew that the madman had to die. Perhaps he was angry with Kokabiels decision to try and kill Akeno and her mother.

He feels another presence and prays that whoever it is does not discover Akeno, he hopes it has come for him rather than Akeno, anything rather going for Akeno.

It would be a few more years until Karan ever saw Kokabiel again.

Some time later

A very tired Karan grunts in annoyance as he can feel himself slowly waking up. He's been awake for a while but is waiting for the panicking Akeno to leave him alone for a while, she oddly placed her entire body on top of him, making Karan feel uncomfortable.

"Karan," she says as she relentlessly pours her tears into Karan. He can can't see it, but he knows Shuri is standing at the door with a frown on her face, how was he going to explain this? Who passes out randomly? He knows Baraqiel is going to annoying him about it.

It's fine with him, they don't have to know anything, no matter how much he took blame and hate, the people were safe and at peace. In Karan's case even if he was slowly killing himself by using these attacks when his body couldn't handle it, it didn't matter, Karan didn't care, Akeno was fine and no one had to know she was ever in danger.

The good thing about using your powers to the brink of exhaustion is that your body will get stronger due to having experienced with it, If Karan continues to work out and control his endurance his body will soon be able to handle the powerful attacks he can muster.

Karan kept his eyes closed, but put one of his hands on Akenos face trying to wipe the tears away, he always felt sad letting her down like this, it wasn't a good thing to happen. Living in constant fear that someone that you love will suddenly not wake up ever again, that was the reason why she was so scared and cried about it.

"Karan!" no response came as she was still crying.

"Karan…"

"If you stop crying I'll get up."

Akeno wiped her tears away and a happy smile came on her face as she sees Karan sit up.

"How long?" he asked already knowing he has been a sleep for a long time.

"Another week." Shuri said smiling at Akeno who is comfortably snuggled into Karan, who is running his hands through her hair.

"I see…"

'How can someone my age even be sleeping for a week.' he thought amazed that the body would wake up conveniently one week after using a huge scaled attack. At least he scared Kokabiel off, for now.

"Karan-kun," Baraqiel says noticing Karan has finally woken from his hibernation slumber. "Azazel is ready, if you wish to being training then we should leave now." he said causing Akeno to wake up from her spot. She was about to protest until Karan told her it was fine.

"I won't overdo it Akeno, I promise." he said bringing her into a warm hug, she blushed but enjoyed the hug.
