Seer's eyes slowly started losing life, his eyesight was fading rapidly, and he began to lose his sense of hearing and touch, eventually, they all started to disappear, and the only image he saw was a preoccupied Doremifa and Novis crying.
Novis instantly attacked Artorié, he fought with all his might delivering new attacks every couple of seconds, he switched from daggers to broadswords to a greatsword, he threw in furniture here and there and with every spare second, he would try to think of a plan of an idea even on how to win.
"DOREMIFA, WE MUST DEFEAT HIM, FOR SEER, PLEASE JOIN ME."
Doremifa although completely conflicted on what he should feel and do, knew that either way a threat was in front of him, and that threat had murdered his best friend.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU HEAR ME? I DOREMIFA, SOON TO BE KING OF THE SOUND KINGDOM WILL TAKE YOUR HEAD."
He tagged along with Novis and attempted to overpower the deadly corrupt knight, he attacked with all his might whilst Novis supported him and tried to get a few hits in here and there.
They kept on clashing and clashing, no one would realistically get injured heavily but no matter what the two of them continued and continued, no matter how long it would take, if it was for their friend it didn't matter.
"𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺? 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥? 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘨𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘵? 𝘉𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵?"
Within Seer's mind or whatever was left of it, only one thing could be remembered, it was his father, he was hard-working and always full of life.
"Listen, Seer, life is full of mysteries, one day you could be living a simple and normal life whilst the next you're fighting for your life, what's most important is that you do what you want to do, it doesn't matter what anyone tells you really, I just want you to know that really, if you want to do something if you just simply desire it even, do it, if you genuinely think that it is right, or even if you know it's selfish but deep down you know it's for the best, just do it ok?"
"But, what if I don't have the strength to do it? What if, I lose and I can't get back up."
"Well you tell your body to push forward, you hear me? YOU. MOVE. FORWARD. WHETHER YOUR BODY DOESN'T WANT TO OR NOT, WHETHER YOU THINK MAYBE I CAN'T DO IT, SIMPLY PUSH FORWARD."
"BUT I CAN'T I REALLY CAN'T."
"YES, YOU CAN, GET THAT HEART PUMPING."
Seer's heart was faintly beating.
"MORE MY SON MORE."
Slowly, his heart started to rapidly increase.
"THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, I WANT IT BEATING AS FAST AS YOU CAN."
His heart regained a stable normal heart rate.
"YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT, I KNOW YOU CAN, I WANT IT BEATING AS FAST AS IT POSSIBLY CAN SEER."
"I'M DOING MY BEST HERE OK."
Slowly the beatings of his heart started to become fainter.
"YOU CAN DO WAY MORE, JUST, GO WITH THE FLOW, COME HERE."
Surprisingly enough, the father started dancing, a flame could be seen almost glowing within his eyes, he seemed almost different, not only that but his heart could be heard from a mile away, it was beating so fast and strong it was as if someone was playing a song.
"H-How are you-"
"Quit questioning everything, and simply, flow."
"But-."
"Simply, flow."
Seer shyly joined him in his dance, he could feel his heart rate increasing by the seconds, more and more it started to sound as if they were drums.
"GOOD JOB, NOW JUST PUSH IT A LITTLE FURTHER, PUT SOME MORE OOMPH IN IT."
"OOMPH OOMPH."
His heart rate only kept on increasing, it was basically vibrating at this point, it kept shaking and shaking, it simply wished for more, to which he would comply vigorously until eventually.
He woke up.
The great slash covering his chest was in a burst of flame, not even one that would hurt, but one that would heal injuries, his pains, everything in his body felt better instantly, he looked at his friends fighting for him and joined them without hesitation whilst creating multiple balls of Plasma circling Artorié.
"DID YOU MISS ME?"
"S-SEER?"
A joy surged deeply within Doremifa, almost as if a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
Appearance wise he did not look like he was a couple of minutes ago, his eyes were lit up in flames, his shirt had been mostly destroyed, and his entire nature was flipped.
He quickly kicked all of the Plasma toward Artorié almost as if he was playing a game.
In response to this, Artorié simply Darkened the attack right before it hit him, nullifying it in the process.
But Seer would not quit so easily, he did not care whether his enemy was resistant to the attack or not, he did not care no matter how weak the attack was, none of that mattered.
He doubled the amount of Plasma and began kicking them at him yet again whilst the others clashed with him.
Artorié would still dodge and parry the attacks thrown at him whilst protecting himself from Seer's magic, this was until he realized, Seer had not stopped, In fact, his attack would only get faster and faster from here on out, he would go from one to another in a couple of seconds, which then lead to in a blink of an eye.
Artorié had to rely on his hearing more than his eyes, based on the unreactable attacks, all he could do was hear it and use his power to convert it, whilst keeping Novis and Doremifa occupied
Novis and Doremifa noticed this and screamed as loud as they could whilst they kept on barraging him, Novis grabbed a hold of his signature Chain blade and revved it more than he ever has, he put his all into this one last attack, Artorié blocked the attack with his sword only for it to be sawed through completly, Doremifa then grabbed a hold of him in this moment he had been waiting for.
"SEER, FINISH HIM OFF."
Seer kicked the Plasma directly at his chest with all the power he stirred up wthin him.
"DIE JUST DIE, AND DON'T YOU EVER THINK ABOUT HURTING DOREMIFA OR THIS KINGDOM EVER AGAIN."
He screeched and screamed as loud as he could, you could almost see his ribcage by how much damage was done to him, he then attempted to use the spirits around him to curse and damage those around him, but Seer would protect his friends with all his heart, he immediately created a normal blade of Plasma with a hilt made of flames and started slashing and exorcising any spirit in the way.
"Give up Artorié, you've lost."
He continued to screech more and more eventually breaking out of the Doremifa's grip, he quickly ran on all fours straight to Seer ready to bite his face clean off, but he was faster than him, he sliced him and melted him away in an instant leaving only his helmet.
"SURRENDER SOLATIDO, OR ELSE YOUR LIFE WILL END IMMEDIATELY."
The fool slowly walked in, he was in terrible shape.
Novis is the first to see this.
"LUCE, IS EVERYTHING OK? REALLY ARE YOU FINE?"
"I've had better days, but please, don't kill him."
"Just exactly why shouldn't we, Luce, just because you simply arrived here doesn't mean you can make whatever decision you want."
"I know I know, but, please, I'll do anything, it is very important to me that he lives, sure tie him up, handcuff him I don't mind, just don't kill him."
"Alright alright, I can't stand seeing you like that anyways."
Doremifa immediately runs in to hug Seer with his entire body.
"SEEEEEEEERRRRRR, DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN OK? YOU HEAR ME? NEVER PUT YOURSELF IN DANGER LIKE THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD EVEN DO WITHOUT YOU IN MY LIFE."
"Sorry sorry, I thought I was dead too but, I somehow managed to escape it just barely."
"WELL GOOD, I NEED YOU ALIVE AND WELL YOU HEAR ME."
Pandora's Wanderer's head slowly rolled over to them.
"Sorry to ruin the mood but."
His mask changes to Salmon Orange with Luminous bright orange stripes.
"COULD YOU PLEASE REASSEMBLE ME, I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS, NOR MY ARMS, NOR ANYTHING, IT FEELS REALLY WEIRD AND IT HURTS A LITTLE."
"Of course, I will, here, sorry for not doing this earlier, I was caught up in the moment."
"It's fine, BUT BE A LITTLE QUICK WILL YA."
Throughout all of this, Solatido was stuck in a trance, he was confused, and he couldn't have been more in disbelief his whole life, his greatest hero his favorite legend, the only man he knew he could trust, had simply lost, right in front of him.
"THERE'S NO WAY ARTORIÉ WOULD HAVE LOST, YOU, YOU MUST HAVE USED SOME SORT OF TRICK, JUST, JUST HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE, HE IS SAID TO BE THE STRONGEST MOST POWERFUL MAN IN EXISTENCE."
The fool notices the helmet on the floor laying down, slowly dissipating into the shadows.
"Oh, you really summoned him? You're not wrong he's quite the strong one, but that was just a fake imitation really."
"AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT?"
"Well, the Artorié I know does not just evaporate into shadows, nor would he have left this entire Kingdom intact, he can create quite the mess you know?"
"𝘞𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵, 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯?"
