Chapter 7: Final Mission
~A Few Months Later~
Everything was pretty much normal for months. Nothing new really happened, but I sometimes have these weird dreams at night, telling me things like what going to happen in the future and what I might have to do. My powers have increased and I have been doing pretty well at the academy, which I think Aisha is beginning to be jealous at how well I have been doing. Also some couples were made during those few months. Aisha and Elsword have been seen sometimes going out on dates, but they keep denying it when we ask them. Rena and Raven's been hitting it off too, sometimes Raven would Blush when Rena smiled at him. Sometimes Chung and Eve would be seen together too, and Eve showing a lot more emotion for a nosed.
Me? I don't really have any interests in love, but my weapons been acting weird and harder to control when I change its attributes. My skills are improving, but it sometimes it takes so much control to stop it from acting so weird. Last time I changed the attributes of my weapons I ended up having some scorch marks, but it didn't really affect me, and the scorches healed up very quickly.
"I would like to see Elsword, Aisha, Eve, Chung, Rena, Raven, and Kazuto in the main building please." We heard in the intercom when we were in class.
We all went to the main building quickly, hoping that we didn't get in trouble for something.
"Please have a seat anywhere." The head of the school (Ms. Vanessa) said as we came in.
"So why are we here?" Elsword asked
"We have been getting recent reports that at the Alter of Dedication there is a portal forming and if we don't stop it our world could be destroyed." she said in a worried tone.
"But why us?" Chung asked
"You guys are the strongest ones there is in the entire school, we also knew we could depend on you." She answered "We need that portal closed quickly."
"We'll do it." Raven said
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Also, there is a very strong demon there so be careful." She said
"We'll be careful." Rena said in a cheerful tone.
"Let's get our equipment ready and head out." I said
Everyone rushed to their dorms and quickly got their gear and we quickly ran to the Alter of Dedication.
~Half an Hour Later~
It took a long time, but we made it to the top of the alter and we encountered a monster stronger than no other.
"Who dares disturbs my work!" the monster said angrily.
As he said that the girls shivered a little bit intimidated by how monstrous his voice was.
"I am Berthe, King of the Underworld! Those who disturb my work shall be destroyed!" he yelled.
"Not on my watch!" I yelled as I went to awakening mode.
Everyone else followed and we started doing a barrage of attacks
"HAHAHA!" Berthe laughed out loud "You are doing NOTHING to me!" he said while laughing
After we used up all our mana he took the chance to attack, he summoned ice shards from all directions and each one piercing us, breaking our armor. I couldn't absorb them because they were too quick. Once they started to slow down I tried to absorb them but I couldn't for some reason. He then started to attack with his claws, tail and feet.
"Since you look stronger than others I'll destroy you last." He said to me.
He started to attack the others with force, I tried to help but I couldn't move. It was like I was frozen in place being unable to move. When he was attacking the others, I felt pain and guilt being unable to help my friends. I heard screams and yells, as I heard them I felt unbelievable strength surge inside of me for a few seconds I was unfrozen and was able to move quickly. Everyone was down on their knees, Berthe was about to deal the final blow to them until I jumped in front and blocked his attack and knocked him back for a little while.
"MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!" I yelled "I'll hold him off as long as I can, just shut down the portal!"
"But, Kazuto you won't survive!" Elsword yelled
"Just go!" I answered him
He nodded and ran with the others following him.
