50 The Blazing Fire and the Roaring Thunder

"I assist you because of your will to fight."

"What do you mean?"

"You said that you didn't care about this world, didn't you? But you just keep going, why?"

"I just want to live with them."

"Exactly. All humans are hypocrites. They do have goodwill while actually, it is just a mask of their despicable deeds. No one has a pure heart and I loathe those who try to hide it. Yet, you are just different, Your Highness, you do have a despicable soul and you don't even try to hide it."

"Is it bad or something? I don't give a shit to what people think about me. Like I care if they hate me or wish me to go to Hell."

"Hahaha... That's what I like from you, Your Highness. The apathy of yours that makes you a free soul yet vicious. Please allow me to be one of your powerful holy weapons. But, if you use me, you'll turn into your dark self. Do you mind with that?"

"Not at all."

"Right, let's finish him off."

"Thank you, Pukan."

Those black needles are seen behind him like they are ready to stab Andos. Dark silver Iru can be seen surrounding him.

'Pukan...' Kartika said.

Kartika becomes anxious seeing Alfi using Pukan again. She remembered when he used Pukan for the first time (Chapter 31). She's afraid that he will go savage and lose control. Yet, he seems to be fine.

"Have you finally been able to control it?"

White Iru bursts out from Andos' body.

'Don't you ever think that you are able to kill me, asshole!' Andos exclaimed.

Alfi's gaze is empty and he doesn't say a thing.

'What? Are you afraid? Are you afraid of seeing me like this?'

He remains silent.

'Then stay silent and die!' Andos advances to Alfi and is about to launch his fist.

Suddenly a thousand of needles appear in front of him stopping Andos' blow. Those needles pierce his palm making it go numb. His palm feels numb that he can't feel it anymore.

'What just happened?' Andos asked.

Those needles are forming a black giant figure. Alfi and that giant show eerie smiles to him.

'Jarum Mysterio! (Mysterio Pin)' Those black needles fly piercing his face.

Alfi quickly draws Tipit and slash Andos' body. Andos tumbles with his hand and head still being pierced by those black needles. He sees Alfi glaring him with the empty gaze of his. No happiness nor anger on it. It's just... Empty. Andos tries to pull it out, yet it doesn't come off.

'It won't be able to pull it out matter how hard you try to.' Alfi said. 'There are only 2 methods to pull it out. 1, you have to atone for your sin or...'

Alfi points Tipit to him.

'2, die.'

"Kill him!"

"Let he choose first. If he refuses to, just torture him as you like. I also really want to torture such a useless scumbag."

"Interesting. Don't you hate hurting anyone?"

"It's ok if he hurts me. I will just let him do what he wants, yet this scumbag has hurt my friends too much, especially Kartika. Just make him scream in pain just like in Hell."

"Looks like you care about her so much. Do you by any chance fall for her?"

"Cut the crap. I have Megumi already."

Alfi turns Tipit into a fire spear. Those black needles pierce it making it look like an eerie black spear with a black flame on its edge. There's a snake motif on the haft.

'May I torture you?' Alfi asked.

Andos' eyes are opened wide seeing Alfi and that black giant smirking at him. It launches to the sky turning itself into a thousand of black needles and falling piercing his body. Andos is screaming in pain as they are not just piercing his body, but also undermining his body.

'They will keep undermining your body till they eat up your soul. I repeat, your soul.' Alfi is bursting out a manic laugh before the suffering Andos.

Kartika, Herman, Varz, Koji and Rian are surprised to what happened to him. Kartika is about to approach him, yet Koji holds her hand.

'Don't worry, he is not under Pukan's control.' He said.

'You know about Pukan?' She asked.

'Yes, he did warn us that he planned to use it.' Koji explained.

'And Alfi you are watching right now is not under Pukan's control. It's just his dark side that he hides all this time.' Rian added.

'What is wrong with Alfi and that guy anyway?' Herman asked.

'Believe it or not, they used to be good friends. Yet, something changed everything...' Koji explained.

'What is it?' Varz asked.

'He won a lottery that he became really rich.' Rian said.

"I would kill that lucky bastard immediately if I were him." Herman and Varz said in their minds.

'It is ridiculous, yet that's what happened.' Koji said awkwardly.

The needles seem to be gone and Andos quickly launches a counterattack that Alfi sent flying quietly far.

'Don't ever think that it's enough to kill me! I was afraid, yet I don't wanna lose to the likes of you!' Andos enraged.

His body gets bigger with white Iru cloaks him in. His gaze is just like a vicious beast waiting for his prey. Five of them are agitated as Andos has turned the table.

'Even Pukan is not enough to defeat him.' Kartika is shocked.

They still hesitate to fight him. He must be stronger than before as Alfi who used Pukan could be sent flying by a mere single blow. Koji and Rian are agitated, yet they recklessly advance to attack him. Koji unsheathes his great sword and Rian turns his arms into thunder blades. Both of them are attacking Andos consecutively.

'Gerbang Bayangan! (Shadow Gate)' Koji swings his sword emitting a fire cube to Andos.

It envelopes him. Every side within emits fire burning him alive.

'Empaler!' Rian rushes around the cube while thrusting his blades at a fast pace.

"He must be done for!"

The cube bursts tremendously, yet they still see him standing right there. Without any scratch at all.

'Not bad, for small fries like you.' He said.

Andos advances launching his fist. Koji blocks it with his sword. Rian shoots thunder laser to him, yet he manages to evade and shakes the ground by stepping on the ground making them stumble. Andos then hit them by swinging his arm sending them flying a few meters away. Koji gets up immediately and advances. He tries his best to strike him yet Andos just blocks every of his blow by his own finger.

'You bastard! Just snap out of it already, will you?!' Koji exclaimed.

'Don't act as if you know everything!' Andos launches a powerful uppercut to him.

Koji is sent flying to the sky. Rian teleports and catches him. He drops him with the others. Andos is seen approaching all of them. Varz and Rian the advances blocking him.

Rian shoots thunder laser to him. Andos manages to evade it yet suddenly he sees Varz is before his very eye already striking him with his sword. Rian then comes kicking his head dropping a single tremendous thunder to him.

Andos is unable to move his body thanks to the thundering barrage that he got before. Varz summons his wind sword and swings it. It emits a heavy gale that scratches his skin.

'Now!' Varz advances to Rian.

'Right!' Rian turns his arms into thunder blades and advances.

They rush at high speed following the gale blows while launching consecutive blows to him at high speed. They both then appear before his very eye.

'Combo Technique: Deux Tonnere!' They thrust him making him struck by a tremendous thunder.

Andos is trying to concentrate. The sting he got is really fatal that no one even Hokari Kanae can stay alive after getting struck by it. He then shouts really loud that it emits a heavy shock wave that sends them flying really hard.

'Splendid... Splendid...' He said. 'I take back what I said before. You guys are strong that you have made me this strong' He walks approaching them.

They are agitated. There's no way they can defeat such a monster named Andos. Yet Koji and Rian advance out of the blue and attack him altogether. The blazing great sword of Koji emits fire every time he swings it and Rian's thunder blades strike everything they hit.

'Don't you understand? The more you attack me, the stronger I become.' Andos said.

'Then, what?!' Koji exclaimed.

'You will never consider to not kill him, won't you?!' Rian exclaimed.

'That's none of your business!' Andos sends them flying.

They fall quite hard, yet they get up immediately.

'We will never let you do anything you want...' Koji said.

'We'd rather die...' Rian said.

'RATHER THAN WE LET YOU TORMENT OUR BEST FRIEND!' They advance to him really fast.

Both of them know that they will never be able to defeat him in such form. No matter how many times he sends them flying, they will get up as they know that Andos is a wazzock that can be stopped by getting killed. His ears are useless as he never listens to anyone. Andos who has lost his temper launches a heavy smash to both of them that they are flying really far crashing that stone wall that it's crumbled.

Andos then launches his final blow to both of them. Both of them just closed their eyes.

"Alfi... I'm sorry for being a useless friend"

And...

Suddenly Andos feels something piercing his body. It's the black Tipit that pierces his body. He sees Alfi gazing at him with full of wrath on his eyes.

'LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!' He slices Andos' body by moving Tipit sidewards.

When they think that everything is over, suddenly the white-cloaked guy appears before them carrying Andos on his arms.

'You...' Andos said sluggishly.

'Take a rest.' He drops Andos and Andos disappears in a jiffy.

'You!' Koji and Rian exclaimed in an unpleasant tone.

'What do you want?!' Alfi is getting vigilant.

'A simple reunion.' He said.
