Escape?

The darkness consumed the entire dungeon and every living being was turned in a shadow statue.

the small soldiers of darkness stepped out of the shadows to inspect the catches they can show their Lord, the small soldiers with bat like wings started calculate how much magic the lord would get if he absorbs the dungeon.

two collossall Dragons emerged out of the shadows, the fire burning in their eye sockets seem to hold wisdom and a consciousness. They glance around and find the wyrm shadow statue.

"this dungeon should have a qilin too"

One of the collossaly Dragons spoke with a confused expression, the entire dungeon almost destabilised and lost just by his voice alone.

"Well he was strong enough to escape his fate and reach a level of lightning and light that he could combine these two elements"

The other collossal dragon replied as he sees two shadow statues in the sky next to his head.

"Oh look, these two are humans from the other world."

The Collossal dragon who inspects every feature of the Wyrm frowned upon a realisation. He glances at the weapons these two statues next to his colleague head have in their arms.

"Oh so this is why this wyrm is so useless"

He tries to channel his shadow mana in the sword to throughly analyse it.

^BOom^

His shadow mana got burned by an unknown fire to him, the golden fire felt not hot or threatening... it felt like water towards his shadow.

The other collossal dragon watched his colleague failing with a satisfied expression.

"Oh...can you not analyse it and show your accomplishments to our L-"

"Shut up!"

"Oh why shou-"

He feels the presence of one of the royalties beneath his lord, the second in command.

"You two useless lizards"

The feminine and clear yet screeching and inhumane voice echoed through the entire dungeon. The destabilisation was prevented by the person who appeared behind these two dragons, the two dragons hiding her because of their collossal size.

"We greet the Queen of Curses"

"We greet the Queen of Curses"

"Shut up you two identical sounding lizard recorders"

The dragons have a monotone and deep voice identical to an Ai voice. The queen of curses emerged behind them and her appearance is horrifying yet beautiful to look at.

Her body is clean of any impurities and beautiful yet wrinkled and ugly, her amethyst like eyes match her beauty yet made her ugly. The black dress she wears shows her voluptuous and enticing body but it also showed the abomination of her not proportional body.

She really is the definition of a cursed being, all kinds of curses are on her body to make her stronger together with giving her the right to carry the power of darkness in her body.

Only the royalties could carry a bit of the darkness of their lord in their body. Once they die and are reborn as shadow soldier is the day they will never reach the royalty level... apart from a few excpetions.

She observes the flow of mana in both weapons and doesn't understand why she feels two stronger beings than her watching her.

She stares at the boy with the dark wings of fire and the two watching eyes feel so close.

"Interesting"

she glances at the weapons of the child who is circled in black lightnings, and feels an dormant soul being furious of the development.

"Interesting... very interesting"

The two dragons still lay on the ground with their heads lowered to the ground, both of them don't think of even peek at her for a short moment.

"So you split your soul in 4 parts and gave 1/4 to the young chick to complete the sword to kill us royalties later-"

She releases unconsciously her aura filled with bloodlust, every shadow soldier and even the dragons are pinned against the ground.

"although this is a good plan... you even put a safety plan in place if he loses against us"

her amethyst eyes are staring at the dual blades from the boy clad in lightning, her bloodlust grows stronger every second.

"a small child blessed by lightning... you gave him the power to use your bloodline despite him being a human moreover giving him your annoying lightnings"

The dormant soul tries to protect its owner from the corruption of the darkness, it tries to hide it but she saw right through him.

"child blessed by lightning, stop acting and free yourself"

^click^

he vanished and arrived behind her... however

"PFFT!"

Benjamins blue hair has a small trace of golden lines moreover have his eyes three irises, the blue and white lightning is coating his entire body.

The blood flowing out of his mouth entered his body again, he stares in these eyes looking like amethysts with so much hatred.

"Oh you did it little human"

"What are you when not a human?"

Benjamin his voice turns cold and twisted by the lightning healing his internal injuries. He currently has the eyes of someone who doesn't care if he dies right now right here.

^CRAck^ ^Boom^

"You really think after transforming a bit you have a chance"

"Pfft!"

Benjamin felt the punch in his stomach piercing it... but this didn't happen. He couldn't understand what is happening because all the air in his air turned in a toxic gas which slowly kills him.

^Crack^ ^Boom^

Benjamin felt that his arms are gone but they are again still on his body. His arms turn pitch black as well as leaking a smell of a rotten corpse.

"Do you really thought you could win?"

^Crack^ ^Boom^

Now it were his legs that turned pitch black as well as smelling like a rotten corpse. Her lips curved up into a terrifying smile that is inhumane, her lips stretched up to her eyes and her eyes changed form to a half oval.

The smile is horrifying to look at and has a special effect to it. Benjamin his eyes are turning into stones so slow that even without air a scream escapes his lips.

"AAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"HAHAHAHA YEAH SCREAM MORE AND SUFFER!!"

The feminine voice now has snakes hissing and repeating her words for her.

^crack^

a small crack appeared in the shadow coating Alan, fiery eyes pierce through the shadow. Benjamin half of his eyes are turn to stone and the stench of his arms intensified.

^crack^ ^crack^

Blood red fire is leaking out of the shadow statue, his eyes are now entirely free. Benjamin heart beats in Irregular rhythms, causing him even more pain and panic.

^crack^ ^crack^

Alans eyes are bloodshot as he presses through the shadows, his body releasing even more fire.

"HAHAHAhaaaaa now lets end this"

Alan feels the air leaving his lungs as he pushes even more through the shadow.

^Boom^

He broke free from the shadows and dashes towards Benjamin with his fastest speed possible.

'NO NO NO NO!'

His breath quickened as he is seeing her grabbing his throat, looking at him with the same smile from before... but now it feels even more horrifying.

His eyes saw everything in slow motion, she slowly tightens her grip on his neck and the quietly sound of bones breaking echoed through the sky.

'NOOO!'

Alan emerged in front of her and thrust his sword towards her hand... but it was too late.

^Cra-^ ^swoosh^

The entire darkness together with all its subordinates vanished from the dungeon, leaving Alan and Benjamin all alone in the dungeon.

"HOLY FIRE!"

Alan screamed with terror in his voice as he filled the ring with the holy energy and gives most of it to Benjamin to keep him alive.

"Stay with me Stay With me Stay WITH ME!!"

Benjamin his pulse grew weaker although all his injuries are getting healed.

Alan is mortified and doesn't know what to do until the ring is filled with holy power.

"Nononononononoononononono"

He mumbles under his breath the same thing over and over again, his eyes are trembling as tears leave his eyes.

The ring needed at most a minute till he can use it... which is to long to save Benjamin.

'He dies... because of me... someone important to me dies again because of me'

Alan loses his composure and puts his Ether in his body to controll every single organ in Benjamins body, leaving him with his phoenix fire to stay in the sky.

"Don't die don't die don't die-"

"Pfft!"

Alan his body is already pushing over his limits and barely hold itself together thanks to his Ether... but now that it is gone.

^Splurt^

Blood shoots through every orifice on his body, his bones breaking.

"Stupid bo-PFFT!"

Alan tried to concentrate depite him literally dying. HIs hope that both of them survive is already long gone, he simply waits for the ring to be filled and activate it to heal Benjamin.

His organs are already a mess and all bones even his backbone and spine... it is a wonder how Alan is still alive.

His vision turns blurry from the blood leaving his body and his thoughts turn sluggish, he still heals only him and keeps him alive.

'When one of us needs to die-'

The ring is fully charged with holy energy, Alan doesn't hesitate to activate both options.

[Skill: Raphaels grace has been activated]

[Sanctuary of the angel Raphael has been released due to the influence of the skill Raphaels grace]

[Sanctuary: rophe lemassa'el Eden has been activated]

The entire dungeon is illuminated by a blinding light, Alan and Benjamin both unconscious and dying turn into million of light particles.
