9 Time for Round-Two.

"The immense amount of energy raced towards the eight S-Rank protectors...they had no time to react as they didn't sense any threat coming from the 7th guardian's direction, by the time they had noticed, the people who became Rank-E after following the master blacksmiths suggestions put their bodies in front of the S-Ranks ordering them to leave."

"The S-Ranks knew that they wouldn't be able to withstand the guardian's energy and save the E-Ranks. They immediately removed themselves from harm's way."

"Is that it.....you eight E-Rankers are going to give up your life for the sake of a few S-Rankers, you got to value your life too." The 7th guardian spirit spoke as if he didn't care what happens to them.

"We protected them because they would be more useful than us in this war... an..d.." One of the E-Rankers, Reo Asterisk, who was standing in front of the others spoke up, as he was being burnt, unable to hold the immense pressure.

"And...we haven't given up our lives yet, we are still alive, you idiotic GUARDIAN SPIRIT...!!!, we are still going to hold out as long....as...we...CAN...!" The one behind Reo Asterisk, continued his statement as he couldn't speak up anymore.

Everyone behind the two nodded with a smile as they were being burnt tremendously.

As the eight E-Rankers struggled relentlessly, they felt if something just came undone in their core, as if they were released of something. "HAHAHA.....about time you eight." The 7th guardian spirit became extremely excited.

"The amount of energy released from the E-Rankers canceled the immense energy strike of the 7th guardian spirit."

"The whole battlefield fell silent as the sudden amount of Tremendous energy surged through it. "

"It's time...NOW GUARDIANS....!!!" The divine spirit let out a big roar.

"The very next moment, neither of the guardian spirits or the divine spirit were present, where they were supposed to be."

"Are you going to stand and contemplate or are you going to fight...?" A voice echoed in the heads of the 8 members.

"The eight already understood what happened."

"Time for Round-Two DKs...let's go." The one who spoke was the one who called the 7th guardian spirit an idiot, Alan. ( DD note: Dk is for Demon King.)

"In the next instant, the E-Rankers were in front of the Demon Kings."

"Weren't they E-Ranked?" A protector from the crowd asked still in a daze.

"We...were...E-Ranked, I don't know if our present energy-capacity has a Rank suitable for us."

"You are no longer a Rank-S or any other." A voice came from inside one of the eight men.

"YOU ARE NOW THE GUARDIANS..." This was the voice of the divine spirit, it came from Reo who was in front of the 1st Demon King now.

"The Demon Kings suddenly submerged in their rage, attacking the protectors relentlessly, who were now the guardians of humanity."

"The eight evaded easily, but what they didn't realize was that they were being attacked in such a speed that none of the protectors could even see them being attacked."

"The Demon Kings assumed that they could crush the spirits and everything living in this world without fail, but the cards the 7th guardian spirit dealt have turned the tables against them. They had no other way but to deal their cards as well."

"The great war resumed and casualties piled up on both sides of Yin and Yang. The guardians moved at such speed and used such power that dealing a punch on anyone, created thunders."

"The Demon Kings witnessing the powers of the guardians had no way but to notch up their gear, the Demon Kings summoned their Demonic Swords. They started to strike back fiercely, ripping the energy surrounding the guardians that protected them against energy punches, bursts and helped them with focusing at high speed."

"Well....that looks bad...I think it's time for us to try them." The guardian spirit inside Alan was contemplating within himself.

"Hey...you got another card to play?...cause these guys are starting to annoy me." Alan was avoiding the Demon Sword of the Second Demon King, Arnus Edios as best as he can, but he still wasn't fast enough.

"Let's try them then...Ray Takahashi..!!"

"Someone from behind threw eight Soul Gears in front of the guardians which were floating as they were beaming with energy, this was Ray Takahashi, the master blacksmith who created the Soul Gears."

"The strong energy emitted by the suddenly appeared Soul Gears repelled the Demon Kings to a distance.

"The Divine guardian took the Soul Sword - Dual Swords, 1st guardian took the Soul Sword - Katana, 2nd took the Soul Shield - Gauntlet, 3rd took the Soul Staff - Bo Staff, 4th took the Soul Lance, 5th took a Soul Bow - Fang, 6th took the Soul Spear - Javelin and finally the 7th guardian took a Soul Sword - Longsword."

"Infuse us...Now..!" The divine spirit ordered the rest.

"All of them summoned their Life energy, revealing their symbol to the world, for the first time. It was a symbol that extended from their right shoulder to the entire right half of their back....The symbol of a Dragon Spirit."

"The guardians were utterly speechless."

"We never transmitted our energy into any raw materials, then how did you mak..." The divine guardian stopped in his tracks from completing his sentence. "You planned everything from the beginning didn't you 7th guardian spirit..."

"You had to find out your true potential first, then forge your Soul Gear, but we didn't have time to waste."

"So, I secretly met with the master blacksmiths who created different Soul Gears and ordered them to forge the finest Soul Gears they ever could from the materials you transmitted energy into, as a part of your training."

"I will tell you another secret that he didn't tell us yet." Alan spoke sternly as he held his Soul Sword.
