CH.14 Summer ?

A portal appeared on the edge of the island. From it, two women appeared, The two were Iris and Spring. Iris looked around trying to admire the look of this island. It wasn't full of flowers or warm breezes but rather a hotter and drier place than Spring. It has a lot of trees and mountains. She also notices that this island is at always high noon, in contrast to the winter always night time. Spring always had morning and Autumn with Afternoon. She looked at Spring and pulled her hand as the two entered the forest towards the center of the island where she felt the most power from, 'Summer must be there I just need to work with Spring to beat Summer.'

-In the center of the Island-

A man was sleeping leisurely under the tree, he had orange hair and a mustache. He doesn't wear any tops and had a large lion tattoo on his back. Just right beside him is a giant ornamental axe with a blade shaped like a crescent moon, similar to that of a Monk's spade. The axe also features two golden protrusions, one larger than the other, with the white tips of a spear, the longer one is in the middle at the top of the axe and the smaller one is on the opposite of the blade of the axe. The handle is dark blue and it features a golden semicircular guard with four golden spikes on it. Its weight is focused on its head.

He then opened his eyes and got up while warming up his body. As his body got more muscular than before, he picks up his axe and rests on the tree trunk. Waiting for his island intruder to arrive at his spot.

-Spring Island-

Three figures arrived at the island they then spread their senses to its max trying to find something. Not Finding what they wanted, Shiro released his magic and destroyed several of the trees. He only calmed down when Akira put her hand on his shoulder.

"Damnit, If only we came faster." He said,

Akira shooked her head, "No, we can't change that. But remember Summer is still stronger than us so he should be able to fight them." Shiro then relaxed a little remembering the core stone content. Ichie nodded, "That's right Nya~ let's go to the Summer island. Pity we're in a hurry this island is truly beautiful."

Akira raised an eyebrow, "Well, I still think that Autumn is more beautiful." Shiro's eyebrow twitched, "huh? Of course, my island is the most beautiful right ?" He released a magic pressure as Ichie and Akira nodded hastily, "Of course. We're only joking right ?" Ichie said as she signaled for Akira to agree, "Yes that's right. Our island is the prettiest of them all."

Shiro smiled smugly, but his smile faltered when he felt a giant magic fluctuation happening to his right. "Let's go, we need to help summer or maybe benefit out from their fight." He then started to make an Ice blade which he rode as Ichie and Akira follows. This blade travels faster than they did before. As now it is a really urgent matter.

-In the Summer Island-

Iris and Spring were panting really hard as their clothes were torn apart. This happened after they clashed with Summer and he wasn't even taking them seriously. Spring knows her chance of winning is low so she tried to tell Iris to flee with her only to be grabbed on the head. Iris knew what Spring is thinking so she needed to do this. Spring struggled, "Why are you doing this? I thought we're friends..." Her eyes then went blank and she stood there like a puppet.

Summer seeing this just raised an eyebrow and waited for them to finish as his pride wouldn't allow him to attack them while they're defenseless. Even though they're just inferior beings before him he still had some shred of dignity. Iris then started to program Spring as she started to transform into her beast form which is a beautiful rainbow-colored Phoenix, Spring then screeched and started attacking Summer. To which he blocked and brought a few steps back.

"You don't even stand a chance against me. Let me bring an end to your misery." Summer said as he slashed his axe down which created a shockwave from how strong it is. Spring tried to block it only for its shield to be destroyed instantly, it hits her wing and brought her down.

Seeing this Iris knows she fucked up, seeing his appearance more closely she tried to remember from where she had seen it 'A giant axe, yellow hair and a lion tattoo... wait, lion tattoo... Shit isn't that Escanor the lion sin of pride from seven deadly sins? But he seems different so he must only be similar in appearance.'

Summer then moved towards her, knowing she couldn't win Iris ordered Spring to retreat with her. However, Escanor threw his axe towards Spring which pinned her down unable to move. Seeing this Iris needed to think on how to escape or at least got away safely. Before she knew it summer already thrust into her heart. She coughed blood and fell down as he pulls his hand out, "My dreams and scheme..." is her last word before she died,

"What a waste of time she even talked about world domination in front of Me." Summer said as he moved towards Spring only to be attacked by an Ice spike. It doesn't do any damage towards him but he looked around, "Well isn't that rude attacking without any warning, winter ?" He looked upwards at the sky where winter and co had arrived. Winter smirked and seeing that Iris is dead and spring at death doors bring him relief at least he only needed to fight Summer. But he knew that this would be hard as Iris and Spring were easily defeated by him. Their blade descended and arrive on the ground they're opposite of Summer, Summer just leisurely smiled when he saw that Shiro engulfed Iris body with a black substance.

He absorbed her memories and her power, remembering something important he finally recalled why the moment he looked at Summer he felt something familiar, it was indeed him Escanor or at least his look is the same but for the power he hoped not as Escanor is basically like Ophis and great red when he's in the one form.
