Chapter 5: Battle End
Elsword POV
…
I finally declared war against my enemy known as Raven who's actually like a dark angel.
Somehow he seems different before…right, from the beginning he was holding back most of his power however he made sure to deliver fatal attacks to defeat us, it was like he didn't want to waste much energy on fighting and wanted to end the game in one strike.
Actually I'm not angry at all, I do understand it because I used to fight like that if the enemy was disappointedly weaker than me, I hold back cause it was really boring to let out all of the fire power into just a small fry.
Indeed…I am not angry however hurting someone like a girl especial someone dear to me, well that's a different issue I am incredible furious, to him and to myself for letting Eve fight alone.
That's why no matter what I'll defeat him whatever the cost…
…
Nonetheless, I can't seem to find Eve, after my strange transformation into a lion demi-beast. Eve was nowhere to be found.
Where is she?
Somehow I can sense she's nearby and strangely I can feel she's safe but where
I'll have to find her but right now I need to finish what we started.
Therefore, I reached out my hand toward the great sword, which has been stab to the floor not far.
"Come"[Elsword]
I commanded and eventually the sword glowed in red aura afterward it disappeared and came to my hand in an instant.
Once I held it firmly the white base of the sword fuse into flames and change its hue into red crimson while the center remain black.
I then raised and pointed the sword to the enemy. As I closed my eyes concentration my mind, I took a deep breath before making a move.
Alright…this is it!
"HYYYAAAA!"[Elsword]
Once I opened my eyes, I quick charged forward to the enemy.
"…"[Raven]
On the other side, Raven smiled as if he was please about the battle that was about to come and with a kick from the ground followed by the flap of his wings, he soared toward me.
Not long then, we clash with our sword with our pride in the line.
…
…
…
[You're smiling…]
Is it?
[Hehe…you are]
Maybe I am…
[I'm glad, it's been a while since I saw you like that…]
…Indeed, it's been a while since I fought someone with a great caliber, at first, I thought he was a weakling hiding from the back of a woman.
[Well you did use [Bird of Prey] on him to make him shudder…]
It can't be helped an unknown challenger had suddenly challenge us yet I didn't expect that he turnout to be a King.
[Hmm…from the start the only one who can challenge us in this days are both King and Emperor Ranks…Moreover I didn't know Elsword is a Tamer Master, truly I was so surprise and there Series skill is quite unique too]
You know him?
[Just a bit, his very infamous you know…fufu to think there is a King nearby]
I see then shall I fight him with all I got, Master?
[It's ok, go on and fight to your heart content and Raven]
Yes?
[I told you before didn't I? calling me a Master is a no no…since you're special to me]
…
[Hey what are you smiling about!]
…My apology…Rena-sama
…

Elsword POV
…
The clashed between us continues, as our sword meets each other making a metallic rasping sound echoed around us together with a strong collision force that made the battlefield into a thunderstorm.
"Talons Break!" [Raven]
With a gust from his wings, Raven launches himself to the air and eventually he dives down with a double strike.
"…guuh!"[Elsword]
I then quickly held my sword strongly to block it but his skill was powerful that it blows me away.
"You're quite resilient" [Raven]
"Well thanks…you're skill isn't so bad" [Elsword]
But seriously I could have been cut into piece if it weren't from my defense.
Damn his strong…but still I won't let myself lose
"Haahh!"[Elsword]
As I grip my sword strongly with my hands, I rashes forward once again.
*Cling…Cling*
Our battle continues and after a few encounters, I then noticed something.
…!?
As the clashing of the sword resound, his sword has become more sharper and stronger however I could sense and predict where his sword could land.
Is this what they call animal instinct?
Amazing…it was like I can tell where to strike and block at the same time.
"Looks like you've grown accustom of your own power… I guess I'll have to be more serious…Wind Blade!...Ha!" [Raven]
"Wha—!" [Elsword]
Upon shouting some sort of skill, the katana, which Raven wields was soon cloak with sharp strong winds and with a slash from his sword it unleash a razor wind toward me.
Fortunately, I leap right away to evade it that only pass through and cuts down a concrete wall cleanly.
Shit! What the hell is that!
Meanwhile, Raven prepares another attack as he soars once more and swiftly rashes his sword, which was still covered by strong winds.
"Tch…Huh?!"[Elsword]
[Dodge…]
When I was about to block his wind sword, I suddenly heard a familiar voice, it was Eve. I didn't know where it came from but because of her message I quickly dodge Raven's attack.
"Haa..haa—"[Elsword]
The floor was split opened from its sharp impact.
"For a moment there you've change your movement and by dodging my attack was the right one" [Raven]
Something was different from that skill it's not just it could release razor winds but something else. Besides, I think I heard Eve inside my head.
[That's because I really am…]
…
[…?]
WHHATT!?
[Noisy…]
Eve!? Wait how did you end up in my head!
[I do not know…my conscious was already inside when I woke up]
…T-that's very complicate to believe…anyway are you alright?
[Yes…]
I see that's good to know, I'm relief I thought something happened to you…Wait a sec
[…?]
If you're inside my head then—
[Yes, it seems I can share your thoughts and senses too]
Wah!, are you serious!
[Too loud…]
S-sorry…
[Mast—E-Elsword-sama…please be careful our enemy is dangerous]
Right, I can see that…Anyway, -sama? Why are you being so formal it's the same thing as calling me Master
[You're picky…how troublesome…]
Huh?...Ahh, nevermind…let's talk about this later, right now we have a fight to settle.
[I understand and as for the skill: Wind Blade has the ability to ignore defense, blocking it is futile]
Is that so…how did you manage to know that?
[…I analyzed it]
That's incredible!
[I-it's nothing to be praise about…]
Ok, then I'll leave my back to you so let's win this game once and for all
[Yes!]
…
…
…[3rd POV]
"Hmm…?" [Raven]
After a few moment of silence, Elsword straighten his posture once more yet something has greatly changed him. His form was firm strongly standing while his gold-amber eyes were flaring with a determination to win.
Ahh…finally a fight which I long for.
Raven then held up his wind sword tightly pointing it toward the warrior in front of him.
"Come show me what you've got!" [Raven]
"I will—HAA!"[Elsword]
In the same time both fighters kicked the ground and once they were close enough they simultaneously swing their sword with a clash, pushing each other within their full strength.
"Hypersonic Stab!" [Raven]
"…guah!"[Elsword]
Raven dashes and unleashes a fury of unseen slashes making Elsword difficult to dodge and parry since there were already damage done with Wind Blade effect into it however, thanks to that a buff defense type was activate due to receiving numerous hits.
[Divine Warrior activated…Elsword-sama now!]
"Double Slash!"[Elsword]
"What!…Argh!"[Raven]
[Bleed effect]
In a blink of an eye, Elsword executes two consecutive slashes and from its last hit, it activates a bleeding effect to the enemy.
"Not bad…" [Raven]
Raven seems fine but his chest was bleeding because of the wound inflicted.
Therefore, he had no other choice but to retreat thus he flew away towards the gallery of the mall, which provides a huge space for him to fly. Raven knew well how the narrow hall had made him disadvantage that's why he choose a more wide area for him to fight in full power
"Come back here!"[Elsword]
[Wait…]
In response, Elsword chased after him, he didn't realize it was a trap. A wide space where a free wing foe can easily move and soars in the air while attacking his prey to his advantage. As for him, Elsword has the lower hand of the battle even after Eve warned him of it, it was already too late and he was already lure in a cage.
[Don't act hasty…remember our enemy has a great advantage in wide open space so please put it in mind]
S-sorry I guess I'm really fired up thatI forgot about it
[Sigh…anyway be careful]
…
…
Inside the open space area, Elsword looked up to see his enemy a dark angel known as Raven was soaring freely.
"To think that you lure me into this place is like your telling me that you're afraid of me"
Elsword taunted, even if the enemy has great advantage to the place, he made sure he won't lose his composure no matter what.
"Say what you'd like…in a battle, in order to win you must prepare and use everything to make your prey succumb to your might…and survive"
Survival of the fittest…
The strong shall live and the weak shall die…However, Those who change and adapt can live forever…

…
"Spread! Black Storm Blades!" [Raven]
"..!"[Elsword]
As Raven shouts, his wings instantly spread out and from the black wings a few feathers was pluck out then this feathers transform into a dozen blades and with a strong wave from his wings, the blades fired toward his prey, the red beast.
"Damn it!...Argh!" [Elsword]
Elsword quickly runs, evaded and even blocked it but unfortunately, some of them pass through leading to some cuts into his coat, face and arms.
...Only a scratch?, other than [Winter Wolf] so far this one had manage to tolerate all of my attacks.
…Interesting
Raven thought as he made a grin smile out of amusement. He admit that even if his opponent is a King class, he already have a great potential and by knowing how strong he will be once he reach the Emperor class, he couldn't helped not to be please.
Just thinking of it made Raven break all the chains that was holding him from going all out.
So once again, Raven flapped his huge wings and quickly headed toward Elsword who haven't recovered yet.
"Storm Tornado!"[Raven]
As he was closed enough, Raven instantly spins like a tornado gathering strong winds and from the center of its eye was the sharp deadly tip of his blade that rapidly approaching Elsword.
Elsword gasped as he saw the huge tornado that is coming to his direction.
Shit! Dodging that is impossible!
However, Elsword didn't gave up, he quickly raised and held his great sword, giving all his strength to block it.
"GYAA!" [Elsword]
[Elsword-sama!]
Eventually, the strong force of the tornado pushes him but still he made a firm stand against it.
"AAAHH!" [Elsword]
Elsword gave everything he had to block it but unlike him, the great Genesis sword couldn't handle it any longer until it slowly cracked and shattered.
"…Argh!"
Losing his great sword, Elsword was soon devoured by the fierce winds from the tornado until it crashes to the ground and from its impact, he was instantly thrown away crashing straight to the wall.
"Guah…!"
Elsword groaned painfully while spitting blood from his mouth, he can feel that his inside has taken damage and some of his bones were broken.
…Tch...guah!
[E-Elsw—]
I'm ok…I-I can still stand.
Kneeling to his feet, Elsword stood up once again. He then glares back to his opponent who was standing steadily while his wings were folds but then suddenly…
"Kuh..hehe..he" [Elsword]
"…?"[Raven
"Hahahaha!" [Elsword]
Baffled, from the sudden cries of laughter, Raven thought if his enemy has lost his mind.
"I wonder…yup this is the first time I got in very pinch situation…hehe damn it hurts" [Elsword]
"Why are you laughing?"[Raven]
"I don't know maybe I'm just happy" [Elsword]
"…"[Raven]
[A..are you…ok?]
In the midst of chaos, Eve let out a concern tone asking if Elsword was alright. She can tell how greatly he was injured how it hurt so much that he was shaking, because she too shares the same pain. However she couldn't understand why he was happy laughing to his heart content as if he had break loose from a cage.
Hey…Eve if you know every thoughts in my head… do you know why I'm happy right now?
[…Yes but I don't understand...]
Right me too but do you know why I quit swordsmanship
[…]
It's because it was boring…
…
…
…
Elsword Sieghart…
If anyone could describe him during his childhood, well he was incredible strong.
In the way of the sword, he isn't a genius like his younger sister Elesis instead he has a fierce strong will. He was very hard-working, everyday he swings bamboo sword over and over again until he master a certain technique.
Every day he always seek out to become stronger than before, all because he wanted to used it to protect those who were weaker than him.
Until finally, at the age 12 he surpassed the Sieghart Sercet Art by making it more stronger. He was able to modify its arts into his own style and on that day, others began to fear him.
The real reason behind those fearful eyes, was because of the fierce beast they saw inside him.
At first, he did all of those training to build up his strength just to protect but soon after fighting numerous times, He was craving for more…
Unknowingly to him, the more he fights the more he craves from it, the excitement of fighting strong enemies the pleasure from when he attain victory from crashing them.
Nevertheless, all he wanted was to protect but in the eyes of the others, he was like a wild beast raging furiously hence, he was isolated and was left alone, if it wasn't for his family he would had gone mad but thanks to his father and sister, he decided to stop…
Ever since then his excuse has been the same…'Because it was boring'
…
…
Back to the present…
Looks like I can no longer use Genesis…
[Are you sure Elsword-sama?]
Seriously…Eve I don't like to be called like that too
[…But]
It's alright if we want to win, we have no choice but to use that.
[I…understand…]
…Damn I think my right shoulder got dislocated.
[…]
Don't worry one hand is enough…
…
Once again, Elsword stood firmly while his enemy Raven was patiently waiting for him.
"You shouldn't have stood up…it would be better for you to surrender already" [Raven]
"…Sorry but I can't"[Elsword]
"I see…to be honest I too didn't want such an end…therefore I'll have to bring you down quickly"[Raven]
"Hahaha same idea here…I rather fight till the very end" [Elsword]
With that said, Elsword clenched the broken handle of his Genesis sword he raised it over his head, ignoring the pain he gather all his remaining strength and with a loud voice he called out.
"Exitus Blade!"[Elsword]
The broken sword immediately flares from white to dark crimson blaze that eventually crawl it's flames to the missing part and soon the broken sword had transform into a different type of sword.
The blade was more darker with a red dyed at the center. Unlike the Genesis sword, the Exitus has an ominous aura around it, as if it's a demonic sword with a curse on it.
Yet Elsword held it firmly while the sword glowed in dark-crimson color like it was confirming its owner.
"Alright…" [Elsword]
Elsword took a deep breath and eventually he suddenly disappears in Raven's sight.
"What!"[Raven]
"Destructive Art: Spiral Blast!"[Elsword]
In an instant, a giant wave of black spark straightly greeted Raven, as he was unprepared he quickly used his wings to shield from it.
"Urgh—!"[Raven]
"I'm not done yet…Destructive Art: Mega Slash!" [Elsword]
With a strong heavy attack, Elsword charged his sword towards his enemy defense and finally he break through it.
"…Black Storm Blades!"[Raven]
Raven then quickly activates his own skill firing dozens of blades towards Elsword but…
"Haa!"[Elsword]
With a great swing from his sword, Elsword unleashed a wide dark-crimson flames to the blades that it all quickly burns into nothing.
Raven was deeply shocked, not from the dark flames that devoured his blades but from the great strength Elsword has shown. He was already injured and beaten yet somehow he still has the power to fight. Moreover, his attacks was more heavy and powerful that is was very different from the skills he used before and because of that cold sweat flowed down to his temple
At that time, Raven felt fear…
"Double Slash!"[Elsword]
"..ugh!"[Raven]
[Bleed Effect]
Again, Raven was caught by his attack and from the last hit he was blown away as he fell to the ground.
"Guah…y-ou, how can you still fight in that condition yet you can still stand and also… your skills are unexpectedly formidable " [Raven]
Raven said while trying to stand up, his wound was bleeding due to the effect and from the attack he receive earlier his upper clothes where tattered and burned, still just like Elsword he stood up.
"You're right, supposedly it's impossible for me to fight but thanks to my blade I was able to eliminate the pain…"[Elsword]
"What?"[Raven]
"Exitus Blade has the ability to eliminate anything into nothing, even my own pain…too bad it can't heal me but it's good enough for me to fight back" [Elsword]
Upon hearing all his words, Raven widened his eyes, he was amazed how determine his foe was or maybe shocked how his foe had gone mad.
When it comes to any living being the pain indicates a warning stimuli of danger to the body into the brain as a result the brain limits the body to avoid further harm or injury.
Therefore, eliminating pain is like abolishing the limit itself, which the body can exceed to more higher capacity than its norm however, once the body continually ignored pain, muscle tear, bone crashes and severe wounds, without pain the body will eventually die.
"You really are an interesting fellow"[Raven]
"Thanks…but honestly I need to finish this, you see I'm already tired and I want to go home now"[Elsword]
"Hahaha…very well let us make an end into it" [Raven]
Once again, the decisive moment has finally come as Elsword made a stance to attack once more.
Of course seeing how bad his body is, even without the sense of pain he still knows how critical his condition is however, he has no plan on dying here that's why he needs to end the match quickly.
Elsword once again took a deep breath and as he exhaled he charge forward to his enemy who currently waits for him to come.
"Final Strike!"[Elsword]
…
…
…
With this it's ove—
[Watch out!]
"…Wah!"[Elsword]
Unfortunately, Elsword was wrong, thinking that the match was over sadly it wasn't after the collision of their sword. Elsword was surrounded by dark winds, and within a blink of eye countless of flashed of lights had slashed his body making the blood from the cuts gushed out and eventually he collapsed.
…Da..m.n..…Wha…
Even if the pain was still suppress, Elsword couldn't move a muscle, his eyes were beginning to blur and as he stares the ceiling. A black silhouette appeared in his view.
…I see I lost
Guah…What a monster…
Elsword throw blood from his mouth while watching the monster that's soars above.
He didn't understand or realize how he had lost but the only thing he remember was a pair of 3 jet-black wings and a raven long black hair.
Then he turned his head to his side and saw someone very familiar, it was Eve in her cat form.
How…?
"You should thank her"[Raven]
"…?"[Elsword]
"You avoided the attack which I aim toward your heart but in a nick of time your partner saves you"[Raven]
"E..Eve.."[Elsword]
As I try to stretch out my arm toward Eve, which I couldn't reach her, Raven had gradually lands besides her.
"Do..nt hur..t"[Elsword]
"There's no need to worry, the match has already ended" [Raven]
Raven said as he gently picked up the small white cat into his arms and shortly he walks near to Elsword side while placing the cat beside him.
"You can rest now…"[Raven]
"…"[Elsword]
"Once you've gotten stronger, let us have a match again [Beast King] Elsword" [Raven]
With that, Raven flew away while the dim of light in my eyes slowly fades and then finally loss my conscious.
…
…
…
"On…"
…
"Nii…"
…
"Onii-chan!"
…?
"Onii-chan…Onii-chan wake up!"
"…Huh?"
Once I opened my eyes, I quickly saw my sister who was crying.
"Onii-chan! Wahh!"
"Wait, Elesis?"
Elesis who was now crying had suddenly hugged me tightly while in the middle of the crowd.
Where are we…it looks like I'm still in the mall.
Did I came back? But what's going on I thought I died or something?
"Onii-chan!"
"Yes! Ouch…"
After I was hugged, Elesis had started hitting my chest, it didn't hurt much but I guess she was really worriedly mad.
"Baka Onii-chan!, what happen to you!"
"Eh? Wait what do you mean?"
"When Eve suddenly disappears, I panicky looked for you but then I soon found out that someone collapse and it was you! Waahh!"
"Collapsed? Wait what do you mean Eve was missing!"
"*sniff*I..I don't…know she suddenly disappear…*sniff*"
"Ok…ok first you need to calm down, people are watching"
"I AM CALM!"
"Sigh…anyway we need to find Ev—"
"Nyaaw~"
""Eh?""
At the same time, Elesis and I noticed that a white cat with a bell collar was approaching toward our direction.
"Eve?"
"Nyaww…"
"Onii-chan, how did Eve turn back to a cat!?"
After calming herself, Elesis moves away from me as she quickly moves closer to Eve and gently she picked her up into her arms.
No doubt, this cat is definitely our Eve but how…
"Anyway we better go we attract too much attention here"[Elsword]
"Ok…"[Elesis]
…
…
…
Home at last…
Right after we got home, Elesis explained to me what had happen.
As soon as Eve disappear, Elesis immediately called me into my phone but after a few try, I didn't pick up her calls thus she decided to go where I was.
However, once she got to the Cyberzone, she saw a commotion of people gathering in one spot, which gave her a bad feeling. She then looked on what was going on and to her surprise, it was me lying to the floor unconscious.
"They said that you collapse 5 minutes before I arrived but seriously I was really worried…so tell me what happened" (A/N: From 10minutes I decided to change it to 5min cuz it's to long )
"W-well…I-It's kind a hard to explain…"
I scratched my cheek wondering how will I tell her, frankly speaking I don't know if it's just a dream but after confirming it with my phone [You Lose…] was on the screen.
Everything was real not to mention my whole body sores and I'm so tired that I wanted to sleep already.
"I'll tell you tomorrow right now I'm extremely tired"
"…Ok, and about Eve what do we do?"
"Right…"
On our way home, Eve who returns being a cat was sleeping soundly into Elesis lap and as we got home Eve haven't wake up yet.
Honestly, I'm worried about her too…
"Let's just wait until tomorrow"[Elsword]
"I understand then I'll be sleeping with Eve for tonight"[Elesis]
Elesis then carefully held Eve into her arms and gradually walks up to the stairs.
"Onii-chan good night…"
"Good night"
…
Shortly, after drinking a cold water to ease my tension, I then slowly recalled what happen.
It was like a dream or a nightmare…the fight, the sense of pain and my own death.
It was real…
Sigh…tomorrow I need to sort this out.
Afterward, I too soon went inside my room hoping that tomorrow will be brightly sunny that nothing bad will happen.
…
…
…Apparently I was wrong…
[Exitus Curse Activates]
…
…
(A/N: Shit! things got real…pardon me on that :)
The reason why I switch my style from Elsword to 3rd POV was for me to know which I'm comfortable at when writing action chapters so I guess I know now what to use…conclusion: it depends on the situation :/
Oh! about the [Destructive Art] it's not a [Skill] its basically the sword style Elsword use (base from the game might modify some of them)
And as for Raven yeah…in the last moment Raven transform or something that his hair grow and in addition he has 6 black wings…Wow! (BM turning to VC)
