Chapter 107 - I’m Right Here!

Third Person’s POV (12 yrs. and 8 months old)

“Right! Sword Art: Rendering Guile!” Mira appeared in front of the demon in lightning speed and performed a series of twelve jabs in total at one spot of the demon and slashed twice in a cross before jumping backwards.

The slashes created cracks to form on the demon’s armor, and in no time, the demon was split in half vertically, then another half horizontally. The demon growled at his oppressors and broke free from the tornado cage.

But before he could retaliate a light beam from above came crashing down on his form, slowly disintegrating him to nothing, he screamed in agony and crawled forward to try and free himself from the beam but it was too late as the hand he reached out also got burned off.

The two beasts looked behind them only to find Lana, clutching at her side, with her right hand held out, blood pouring out from her wound that she so desperately tried to stop with her left hand.

Immediately the two went beside her and helped her stop the bleeding, Mira instantly performed healing magic, slowly but surely stopping the blood from gushing and closing the wound. Kara appeared beside the three abruptly as she conjured a purple barrier around them.

The barrier blocked a dark beam that was clearly directed at them. Kara nonchalantly shrugged the beam off as it bounced back to the demon, hitting it hard on the chest.

“You guys should really know how to pay attention to your surroundings.” She said, chuckling, her what looked to be torn purple dress adorned with different shining materials and upon close inspection where shards of tiny broken glass, flowed on her.

She turned around and snuck out a tentacle below her dress to Lana’s shoulder trailing towards her chest, feeling if there’s anything wrong with her, and fortunately the healing magic from earlier did the trick.

A very great healer and protector as she mostly focuses on defensive and supportive spells despite being an octopus magical beast.

“Take her somewhere safe, we’ll handle this.” She said, and made the barrier disappear, she took one step forward and held her right hand as a magic circle the color of purple appeared.

“Enchant Magic: Curse of the Sea Witch.” Purple translucent tentacles oozed out of the magic circle before striking out towards the disoriented demon, wrapping itself on the demon and causing ten purple chains to strike the ground before disappearing.

Suddenly the demon felt some kind of heaviness as he tried to take a step forward, even his limbs seem to be very heavy as he tried to lift it with much difficulty. Mira and Dawn immediately fled from the scene to tend to Lana.

“Moon Magic: Moonstruck.” Chanted Harth, and out of nowhere moonlight dawned on the demon before Harth appeared behind and struck with what looks to be light claws, the claws filled with moon energy giving it a silver light.

The demon roared in anger and swung his blade in an arc behind him, Harth jumped backwards to avoid the blade but he didn’t give the demon the time to recover as he was unto the demon with a push on the ground.

He performed three strikes each, bypassing the demon’s form, as the demon slowly kneeled down defeated unable to move. The surroundings returning to its former lighting.

“Moon Magic: Blessed Moon’s Light.” Without looking back Harth rained down a single beam of moonlight on the demon, effectively killing and destroying the said demon. He approached Kara and the two hurried to where Mira and Dawn took Lana.

‘Two down, five more to go, now where are-.’ Felsin felt the stench of death looming from the distance, this particular one struck him hard as he knows that he had left a light spell on all of his friends and their disciples or children,

This one in particular was something he was quite familiar, he looked at his right and smelled a familiar scent of blood, Allen’s. His eyes widened and rushed forward, confusing Klein as the two were fighting the three demons left, or at least the ones they could see.

In two strides behind a thick bush he emerged to see… Allen raised from the ground by another demon, Lyn at the distance shackled, Wilbert and Celine, lying on the ground, bruised and wounded, looking lifeless.

“NO!” he shouted, at the same time a shout could be heard from a distance. Felsin looked at his left and in an instant silver light passed by him, and when he looked at the demon, someone was holding it on the air.

“I don’t understand why so many of you decided to forget about me just because I was fighting with your leader, but don’t think for a second that you could think of ignoring me, I’m still here IDIOTS!” said Ken, almost as if two person’s had said this as Felsin heard another voice from a distance.

Ken, or what supposed to be Ken as he was clad in white robes, looked at Felsin and smiled, then abruptly turned to the demon he was holding in his hands, he threw the demon to the side, and while the demon was in mid-air he charged forward brandishing his scythe.

“Light Moon Magic: Fluttering Light Scythe.” He did not give the demon the time of day and immediately performed 16 strikes in mid-air leaving the demon to its demise as it fell down to the ground in pieces.

Ken landed a relative distance ahead of the demon, but his shoulders shook and turned towards the demon, eyes blazing with silver essence, he walked to the demon almost in a tantrum and wanted to stab the demon more times as his anger flared at what this demon had done to his friends.

Felsin was about to stop him sensing anger within Ken and to make him listen to reason, but he wasn’t able to when Ken stopped himself, slowly withdraw his blade, and placed it on his back. Suddenly Ken opened wide his arms, stared into the sky and shouted…

“Light Moon Magic: MOON’S RAY!” tremendous magic power crashed down on the demon’s form as the moon beam disintegrated the demon’s form into nothing, the scenery happened in seconds, but to Felsin, it felt like a lifetime as he could not fathom the power behind that spell.

From a distance he saw a similar one just as this beam finished destroying the demon, the other beam finished just as fast as it arrived leaving a somewhat solemn surroundings as droplets of silver light seemed to form around Ken.

“Ke-“ Felsin wasn’t able to finish his sentence when Ken’s form suddenly broke into pieces, Felsin immediately rushed forward and upon close inspection this Ken was actually made of ice, as he felt the cold energies still seeping out of the blocks and pieces of the broken puppet.

*Cough!*

Felsin turned around just to see as Lyn coughed up blood and let herself lay down on the ground, ahead of her was Allen trying to crawl towards Wilbert and Celine. Felsin immediately knew what he has to do this time, and that is to save these four people’s lives.

Immediately four magic circles appeared below the four people before him and slowly but surely, Felsin healed their wounds, letting their minds at ease, Allen stopped crawling just as he felt his body being soothed, he looked at Felsin once with gratitude in his eyes and fell asleep.

On a similar note, Alfred watched the fight of his son as Ken trampled over the demon despite being extremely hard for them with wide eyes, only did he returned to his stupor as Ken hugged him and told him to continue healing the three mountain lions before breaking down as ice.

Just like Felsin, Alfred stared in disbelief as he saw his son crumble down, he thought that Ken must’ve used too much magic that’s why he died, Alfred wanted to scream and or cry, because before Ken had given him his last message, Ken looked so distant as if he was going to move to a different place.

But upon close inspection, Alfred found out that it was just a pile of broken ice that he was seeing, and not his son, he felt stupid for his predicament and wanted to just run away and hide, or let the ground open wide and bury him alive for his way of thinking.

He still continued healing the three mountain lions despite the embarrassing thought, the three, wondering why this person seems to be shy right now, acting all flustered and stupid at the same time.

Meanwhile the fight between Ken and Rize still raged on.

“This is your end brat!” shouted Rize, blade raised high ready to strike Ken down, looking at him from the ground. Ken just smirked making Rize’s face contort in anger.

“I don’t think so.” said Ken and effortlessly dodged Rize’s strike to which he had claimed to have been a move faster than the speed of light. Now imagine what that had made him look like.
