Lost Glory

"What was that blue attack?" Zhao Fan asked. "I thought daemons didn't have any other attack."

"Obviously he's a sin."

"Point taking." Zhao Fan said, licking her blade. "Left or Right."

"Down."

"Hehehehe." Zhao Fan laughed.

The Sin rushed forward, a vestorer charged in his hand. Zhao Fan through her chain at a tree, pulling herself up. Blake rushed at the daemon, activating his hollow. He fired a null at the daemon, which was blocked by the sin, who fired the vestorer. Blake moved out of the way, using his strings to propell himself towards the daemon. Kicking the daemon back, Blake landed a scratch on its face, slashing its eye. The sin staggered back, covering his eye, Zhao Fan came down, slashing the daemon on the shoulder."

"Licht technique" Zhao Fan said as she clasped her hand. "Toxic Drive."

Pain shot through the daemon as a black spots emerged around the wound. Blake rushed in, slashing at the daemon's chest with his claws and punching it in the face. Zhao Fan kicked it in the stomach as well, jumping about and landed a kick on its face. The sin's face got buried in the dirt, grunting as the two stood over it.

[I see.] The sin said, [May I know your names.]

Zhao Fan and Blake looked at each other. 

"Zhao Fan Cìkè"

"Blake Alderwolf."

[Nice.] The sin said, standing up to its feet. [I am Avarice. The sin of Greed. Anything I want I take. And as of today, I do not want you]

Hands emerged from behind Blake and Zhao Fan, swatting each of them in opposite directions. Avarice rushed at Zhao Fan first, punching her in the face and into the ground. It fired to vestorers at her just as Blake reached it. Avarice turned to Blake with a smile. 

"Damn you!" Blake said, activating his hollow and forming a large claw. Blake charged at the daemon, clawing at him. The daemon dodged the strike, catching Blake's other hand and punching Blake in the guts, over and over and over until Blake threw up both puke and blood. Blake dangled helplessly as the sin took one of his hands and held him in the air. 

[I broke your arm, which meant I took it. I did not give you permission to take it back. I guess this is how the other guy did it, huh?]

Rather than charging up a vestorer, the daemon channeled the energy through Blake's skin, corroding the entry point. Blake screamed in pain as he felt the pure vestorer energy penetrate and ricochet off his bones in his arm. The daemon dropped Blake on the ground, turning to face Jacquez.

[You, however, I want]

"No thank you," Jacquez said, creeped out. "I'll pass."

[I wasn't asking.] Avarice said, appearing right in front off Jacquez, a vestorer charging up in his hand. Jacquez dodged the vestorer, his teeth together as he was punched in the side of the ribs. Up in the air, Jacquez rained fires of licht energy on to the ground at the sin. Avarice did not bother dodging as shot merely bounced off. A shot fired at Avarice, penetrating through the daemon's shoulder.

[That's more like it.] Avarice squealed, [Tell me your name!]

"Hell naw!" Jacquez said, firing another one. The daemon dodged again but the shot penetrated through from its back. The sin stopped, turning around. The man couldn't have moved that fast, meaning that it had been deflected. But there were no trees behind...

The girls blade. She was still alive.

Jacquez punched the daemon in the face, firing a blast in its leg as it tried to move away. The sin grabbed Jacques only for pain to shoot in its arm The girl had activated his poison again.

[I said I DON'T WANT YOU!] The daemon said, firing a gigantic blast of vestorer in her direction. Jacques kicked it in the knee, landing an uppercut on the daemon's chin and kicking it in the chest. The daemon looked at Jacques as it fired a blast at it's throat.

[Glaube: Endless Yearning]

Jacquez froze as he realized that he was now in a gigantic palm. He had been moved from where he stood to the clearing, where the daemon had fired its vestorer a few seconds ago.

[I told you] Avarice smiled [You are MINE!!]

Jacquez froze as he saw Ricardo wrap his arm around the sin's body. Activating his technique, the ground below cracked.

"TAKE THE SHOT!!" Ricardo bellowed. Jacquez looked on, confused, his hands trembling.

"What?"

"TAKE THE DAMN SHOT! DO IT NOW!

[LET ME GO YOU IMBECILE. UNHAND ME!!!]

Small blue arms pulled at Ricardo, but he still held on. "DO IT NOW!!!"

Anyone could charge a blast and fire it. It just took tedious training and barely anyone even knew about it. The difference between Kanon and Jacquez was only one. Licht technique. Kanon's licht technique was disintegration. Anything her licht technique came into contact with, it instantly disintegrated like a vestorer. Jacquez's shot penetrated through like a bullet. 

Charging up the energy, Jacquez aimed at the daemon. Squeezing out every drop of licht energy, compressing it as much as he could, he was ready. But he hesitated. Once fired, the sin would be killed, but so will Ricardo. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath and fired.

He should not have delayed as the sin stamped the ground as hard as he could, breaking up the earth. Jacquez lost balance and the blast was fired up into the air. 

"No. no, no, no, no. No!"

Out of nowhere, Blake shot himself up in the air. Using his licht energy, he coated himself with it, forming a shield. The shot him squarely in the chest, ricocheting off him as it sent him flying. As the shot went down, Zhao Fan emerged, using her back to ricochet the blast, going straight at the daemon
