Chapter 23

"You should be directing the attack here!" shouted Lia in frustration, because the Qobra Clan Leader continued to target Prince Aerus and his family. "Are you a coward?"

"I just don't want to cause trouble with outsiders. You're not part of our family," the Qobra Clan Leader sighed.

They struck each other again, exploding more energy that boomed through the sky.

Prince Aerus stumbled, and finally managed to get up.

"Stay here! Your condition is still unstable!" cursed Prince Phoko.

"I can't just stand by when I see my people dying." So he pressed a button in his hand, popping a disc out of the ground. Staggered, he climbed it.

He went to help Lia. But before he could do anything, the Qobra Clan Chief immediately attacked him, sending him flying away with more serious injuries.

"Aerus!" shouted Lia, blasting a sizeable amount of energy at the Qobra Clan Leader. He bounced off, crashing into the outskirts of Hexa's palace until it shattered.

Prince Phoko got up and grabbed Lia's arm. "Lock him up in the most powerful ball of energy. I'll restrain Brohoz first! If Aerus stayed involved, then he could die. I beg you…. Lia."

Lia stared, then saw Prince Phoko airborne to fight with Brohoz, the leader of the Qobra Clan. While she held her husband who was dying.

"Aerus!" she whispered, squealed, and cried. Blood was pouring from the mouth and almost all the holes in Prince Aerus' body. "I didn't mean to lie to you, I didn't mean to belittle you. I know you are a very strong leader. But for now, you can't fight anymore. Let us help you! I'm sure we'll make it."

Lia tightly gripped Prince Aerus' hand, closing her eyes as if to drain the energy. Then she kissed him, bringing their chests closer and closer together. The energy flew from the heart filled with love, and the energy flow from the purity of the soul belonging to each other, finally filling Prince Aerus' body.

In an instant, he became fresher. But when he woke up, he was already in a very strong prison ball. He looked up and saw Lia floating sadly at him. At that time he saw her chest glowed with the sign of their marriage.

When he looked down, he found his mark glowing at the same time and in the same way. That's when he realized that, "Lia!" he screamed, shivering and helpless. "Lia! What are you doing? Lia, get me out!"

But Lia didn't say anything. With a face full of tears, she finally flew to defeat Brohoz and all his soldiers.

Prince Aerus pounded the prison ball around him, attacking it with as much energy as he had. Frustrated, and crying, especially when he saw his wife bouncing many times due to enemy attacks.

"Lia! Get me out! Let me fight with you! Don't be a coward! Let me help you. I already know you! Don't hide anymore! Lia!!!!" Prince Aerus fell into a slump, especially when he knew he couldn't get out of the prison ball when the most powerful explosion thundered throughout Hexa.

Brohoz managed to destroy the hexagon stone, while Lia was blown away with her injured body, unconscious.

Destroyed! Hurtful. "Lia!" Prince Aerus seemed to want to rip his heart. "Don't let me be a bad husband! I hate you! I was born to love and protect you! Don't let me torment you in helplessness! Get up! Wake up, my wife! You have to take responsibility for leaving us. We still have a son to take care of. Lia!!!!!"

Brohoz laughed, hovering in the air. All the Hexa people who still survived shuffled, glared, frightened.

"I have succeeded in destroying the hexagon stone. Your ancestors have come out and worshiped me." Brohoz raised both hands. His stocky and large body turned his back on the souls of the Hexa ancestors who lined up by the millions. They all had glowing faces, had scornful eyes. "So, just give up and surrender all of you!"

Brohoz clenched his fists in the air, spawning a ball of energy as large as a Scutis Star. "I will kill you all!" Then he blew it up all over Hexa's surface.

Blown away, the ball of death finally swept across Hexa's surface, even destroying some of the overly weak Qobra Clan races. Cunning, greed, and also arrogance. Everything merges into that ball and destroys a lot of things.

Brohoz thought he had won. He thought that after the black mist emanating from his power had been able to make him the new leader in Hexa, until then he saw that millions of ancestral spirits were now not standing behind him, but behind Prince Bealdric, whose height did not even exceed his waist.

Prince Bealdric still looked holy, still looked innocent. But inside his body coiled Megalack which had opened the highest chakra in his body.

The ancestral spirits have protected souls and all places in Hexa. They had found their true leader.

"Do you think the crushed hexagon stone can defeat us?" shouted Prince Bealdric, whose voice was a mix of his and Megalack's. "No! Hexagon stone is containers for ancestral spirits who are reluctant to leave Hexodar. They fell asleep to keep praying for us. If you damage it, then they will awaken, they will stand before the true leader and defeat the enemy."

Brozoh growled. "Damn dragon! Do not interfere! You're not a resident of Hexa."

"But I am the ancestor of this little boy," replied Megalack, "who unfortunately still has Elfagos blood in his body. So, accept your death!"

The battle broke out again, more violent than before. More explosions rang out, and all the spirits of the ancestors swept over all the soldiers of the Qobra Clan in one breath. There was nothing left, not even the pirates from the galaxy. All enemies die, no exception.

The final war occurred after Megalack exploded energy to fight Brozoh. Two giant balls of contrasting color hit and destroyed all of the enemy's bodies, including Brohoz's. Screams echoed, screams of pain were like being tortured.

Prince Bealdric's body fell gently on the ground, then fainted after Megalack left him, darting back towards Lia's body.

The prison ball around Prince Aerus' body was shattered, making him manage to get out and approach his wife, ignoring his son's body which was now in the lap of the ancestral souls who love him.

"Lia!" called Prince Aerus, patting Lia's cheeks which looked pale. "Lia, wake up!" At that time, he felt a very painful twitch in his chest. "You gave me your energy! Do you share it with me? Stupid girl! You can die because of me!" Then he brought their chests closer, letting her energy return to its original place.

Slowly her body and condition improved, although she was still unconscious. Meanwhile, at the same time, Prince Aerus fainted.
