Chapter 10-Call of the Gods

Blazerdon's P.O.V

I emerged from days of the magic chamber, days of training improved my strength and powers drastically. I went to my wardrobe and changed my clothes and armor, I sat back on my throne.

I could feel the approach of impending danger. The Cult may attack soon, I can just feel it. I wonder how the elders' training went. It was about time they too pause their training. Then, I see Johanna came out with a new outfit. She was now wearing magenta and silver robes.

Johanna: 'Well it is about time the others complete their training, shall I call them out?'

Blazerdon: 'Yes go ahead.'

She heads back to the chamber and within a minute, the elders emerge. First were Zardoure, Ornous and Elnora. I could sense their increase in powers, Zardoure was brimming with power. Then, after them were Galaxus and Elinore. Their power has also increased a lot, their power feels like they are close to mine. Lastly, Inferunt and Teala emerged, they were both burning with power.

Blazerdon: 'Alright listen up, I have instructions for all of you, first get changed.'

They head to their rooms to change their broken armor and torn robes. When they returned with fresh attires, I decided to call a meeting.

Blazerdon: 'The war between the Gods and Cultist is approaching. I can feel it is coming, now that the training is done, we are more or less prepared to fight them. Once they launch an attack, we must gather at the plains at the wilderness of the Northern Province, there will be an ideal battleground for this war. Now, dismissed.'

They then left to do their thing. When they would attack, I do not know. Then I decided to call upon Team Kage, they seemed to be slacking. In minutes, they arrived and greeted me.

Blazerdon: 'Team Kage, if you have nothing to do, then start training in the magic chamber, I can feel the attack approaching.'

Kage: 'Attack approaching, hmm seems legit.'

Saijyn: 'Stop it, we are at the presence of the king.' He whispered.

Kage: 'Oh what I get controlled?!'

Blazerdon: 'Are you done? Don't make me punish you Kage, if not I can punish your team!'

Jaslyn: 'Sorry king, please pardon Kage.'

Kage: 'Hmph.' He crossed his arms and looked away.

Galaxus and Elinore then came into the scene.

Galaxus: 'Kage! Where are your manners?!' he said in a raised voice at Kage.

Kage: 'Dad! Don't you see I am more than ready to beat those Cultists?'

Galaxus: 'No, you have no idea how strong they are.'

Kage: 'Either way I still can beat them.'

Galaxus: 'Then do it now!'

Kage then looked down, with nothing else to say.

Elinore: 'Kage, just do as the king says alright?'

Kage: 'Fine mom.' They walk into the chamber to train.

Elinore: 'Please pardon my arrogant son king.'

Blazerdon: 'That happens every time I see him. Forget it.'

I wonder how team Blade is doing with their quest.

BladeRend's P.O.V

When we walked through the iron doors, I saw before us a large room, there was water flowing down the side walls, there was a picture of a strange being carved onto a circular frame on the floor. Similar style to the picture of the Anima Mundi though. At the end was a dark hallway, I was about to summon my Eye of the Gods to see what was inside when suddenly…

The carving glowed and we approached it, a cloud of smoke appeared and something was summoned. It was a giant centaur. It was wearing chain armor and wielded an iron spear on its right hand and on his left hand was an orb. The orb glowed and chains came out of it and flew to us, there was one chain for each of us and it bounded us.

The Centaur ran down the dark hallway, BladeXend summoned a bright light to illuminate the area, we still couldn't see the end. My arms were tied to my body so I couldn't reach for my forehead. I tried as hard as I could to summon my eye using energy, it worked and I saw to the end was an arena, it was all mossy and old.

When we reached there, an old priest stood in the center.

BladeRend: 'What the?'

Priest: 'Surprised? I have the Diamond guarded and if you plan to get to it, you need to defeat us!'

BladeRend: 'The diamond!' I was close to my goal.

Priest: 'you won't get it that easily!'

The chains started to tighten and I started to feel pain swelling up all over my body, I tried to resist but it just kept tightening. What now?! I'm stuck! I could see the others were trying as well but they too could not break free. I tried to spread my wings but they could not sprout, they chains were preventing them.

I used my Melon Bringer to gather all the energy I could then shot it at BladeXend's chains. It broke.

BladeXend: 'Great!'

He pulled out Excalibur and slashed at the chains the bound the others. He freed me and Kaitlin while Akira and Kiera were still chained. Then the priest attacked BladeXend, he used a magic staff, they were clashing weapons. I had to free Akira and Kiera. I pulled out my Blade of Melympus and was about to strike the chains but the centaur interfered.

I strike his spear instead as he blocked, we clashed weapons for a while till I saw that they could hold on no longer. They were suffocating, they were screaming in pain. I quickly ran towards them but I got cut off by the centaur again. He struck me down with his large spear and pinned me down. Akira's face turned red and soon he passed out. Kiera was screaming in pain and coughed blood, she soon passed out as well.

Kaitlin still trying to recover from the suffocation hold, gets on her feet and knocked the centaur off me. I quickly flipped back onto my feet and blasted the chains, freeing Akira and Kiera, who were still unconscious. I tried to heal them, it worked and they were slowly recovering. Kaitlin battled the centaur despite being a mage, she used her staff and clashed with him.

BladeXend's P.O.V

I attacked the priest as soon as I could. Even though he was only using an old wood staff, and given his age, he still fought well. He blasted me with some magic but I blocked it, I could feel the strong power of his magic. The priest was about to strike again but I quickly charged at him and blasted him with light energy. He fell to the ground, I was about to stab him but he let out a wave of energy that sent me back a few blocks.

Then, he teleported to me and swing his staff at me which I dodged it and used the bottom of the handle on my sword to forcefully smash him on the back of his head. He fell on his face. I then stabbed down on him and blood splashed out from the wound. His body then dissipates into dust. My attention now switches to the centaur. I ran at him and battled him, clashing my sword with his spear.

With my sword, I jumped on him and stabbed him on the back, he fell to the ground and I impaled his heart, blood dripping down onto the ground.

BladeRend's P.O.V

I managed to get Kiera to wake up.

BladeRend: 'Kiera! You alright?'

She was still in a daze as she rubs blood away from her face. I continue healing her. Kaitlin came in to wake Akira up, she heals him using her magic. Akira wakes up and his head was spinning, and falls back onto the floor but his eyes opened. Kaitlin tosses a healing potion at all of us, soon they were able to get onto their feet.

Kaitlin: 'Alright so let's try and keep going, we are almost there!'

So we advanced to the next level, knowing the diamond is close, we press on…
