The room was quite and Terence was quite suspicious of it, even though the room was deserted he could feel high power in this room. He looked around with his blade ready for anything now, his blade grew in power as the nerves built up in him. Why was he nervous? He shouldn't be though, he is the Gate keeper the most powerful Deamon in all the realms. All Terence could hear were his foot steps, he was getting annoyed with having to wait for Dagon. 'Where the fuck is he? I can't see him but I can feel his power in the room...I'm going to have to concentrate on the magical power in the room and find him.' Terence thought. After Terence thought about this he stood still and closed his eyes to concentrate on all the magical power in the room, after a few second's Terence opened his eyes and his vision had changed. It was close to the way it was before but he could see red lines, the lines were like when he ran with Deamon energy trailing behind him. The lines were a representation of magic, and this was red indicating it was Deamon energy, also it was quite powerful judging by the brightness of it. When Terence followed the lines he realised that they were going all around him, it was as if he was being watched and studied by Dagon. Then out of nowhere Dagon came out of the shadows and went to attack Terence but Terence was ready and blocked the attack easily Terence countered by a quick kick in the ribs and that pushed Dagon back. Terence then lunged at Dagon but he seemed to block his attack and disappear, Terence looked around and saw no one there. When Terence turned around again Dagon went to attack him with his blade, Terence jumped out the way and was only scratched by the blade. Terence felt a sharp pain on him and reacted by shooting a ball of Deamon energy at Dagon, Dagon dived out the way and rolled on the floor. When he went to get up Terence went to attack him and Dagon had only seconds to react, Dagon then moved at the speed of light and appeared behind Terence. Terence elbowed Dagon knowing he was there and went to slice him but was blocked and head butted, the force of the head-butt knocked Terence back a bit and took him off balance. Dagon saw this opportunity and went to slice Terence but was hit by something, Dagon went backwards and hit the wall hard feeling pain shoot through his body. He looked up to find Terence in his half-Deamon form just looking at him smiling.
'Ha...hahahahahaha' Dagon laughed his voice was dark and sounded like he was consumed by some evil force.
'What are you laughing about?' Terence asked him
'Finally I will have a true challenge'
Dagon smiled and walked out of the wall, his chest plate at the lower stomach had a slight dent in it where Terence had kicked it. He moved forward and tightened his grip on the blade, before Terence knew it Dagon was in front to him about to attack, Terence responded by shooting a powerful blast at point blank range at Dagon's face. Dagon was sent into the air and just blasted himself towards Terence, Terence dived out the way as Dagon hit the floor making a crater. The dust started to settle and Terence looked at Dagon, Terence ran into the dust with his vision still showing the magical energy around him. It was starting to get in the way so Terence put his vision to normal and sliced his blade with such force his feet slid across the floor towards Dagon. Terence felt something stop the blade and push him back, it was Dagon he had blocked the attack somehow and pushed him backwards. In the dust all you could see was the shadows of the blades and the outlines of the 2 enemies fighting each other. Both of them had the killing intent in there attacks, they fought their blades smashing together creating bright sparks in the dust that impaired their sights. Soon the dust started to settle down and there vision was getting better, they still fought regardless of there impairments.
The sound of blades clanging together echoed in the large room they were in, by the looks of it the room was a throne room. But...where was the throne? There was non in sight and Terence had noted this when he entered the room. The dust was now mostly gone and they could see each other well, this made the battle become more ferocious in its own way. This was more then just a battle to win this was a battle to decimate one another. Their powers were being put on test here and all they could do is fight and hope to win. Well no hop they had to know they would win and in truth the battle they were fighting was not any normal battle. No Deamon had seen the power of the Gate Keeper before but now Terence would know how powerful it is and that soon it would show itself and fight. The sword gave Terence advice and he would listen and sometimes give better suggestions and the sword would learn quickly to help him even more.
Terence looked at Dagon as he ran towards Terence, Terence sent a blast of red light at Dagon who dodged it and went to slice Terence in the midsection. Terence blocked the blade and went to punch Dagon in the face but with Dagon's free hand he blocked the fist and head-butted Terence making him stumble on one knee. Dagon jumped in the air and held his blade high charging the power in it ready for the next strike. The blade came down on Terence humming with power as it fell, Terence blocked the attack barely. The force of the attack forced Terence to put up a barrier to protect himself as well as the sword, as the enemies blade crashed down on to it. Terence knew he had to go all out now and changed his form to his full Deamon form. His muscles bulged out and made squelching noises as they grew, as did his whole body as it changed becoming more muscle and bigger in size itself. Dagon watched in shock as this happened but kept pushing his blade down, soon Dagon's blade was going back up slowly at first then in one big burst he was flung up in the air and pounded by a fist that was the size of his face. Dagon fell to the floor and looked at Terence, he was now around 7.10-8.3 foot big instead of 5.8-6.0 foot. His muscles were now 3 times the size as before making his whole body look like pure muscle. Dagon moved forward and went to attack Terence but Terence just attacked back and Dagon moved back sliding across the floor. Terence's blade had changed it was bigger now, Dagon knew he would have go for it now. Dagon sent a blast of energy at Terence, Terence just absorbed it and shot it back at him. Dagon attacked Terence once more it was looking one sided and Dagon's armour was being cut apart he couldn't take much more of this he had to do it and fight to his best ability's now...no restrictions on his power. Dagon looked at Terence who just stood there smiling at him. Dagon smiled back and stabbed his blade in the ground, he then grabbed his armour and pulled at it. When he did this the armour ripped off of him showing a body that was so covered in scars and markings the muscles even though they were defined were almost hard to see. Dagon had clearly been in a lot of battles, and had a lot more experience in fighting then Terence. Soon something happened to Dagon his markings glowed brighter and he started to have tendrils of Deamon energy coming off of him along with an aura of pure Deamon energy around him. Dagon's true power was now manifesting itself to him and making him grow in power and size. The helmet started to change as well the details on it changed to an image of a beast but the spikes started to come out of his back and he grew a tail. The tail looked like it could cause serious damage to anyone who was stabbed by the blade like end that looked like it was the tip of a fish hook. Dagon looked at Terence and smiled before grabbing his sword making it change and look more bulky and powerful but deadly at the same time the hooks on the edges got bigger and started to glow around the edges with Deamon energy. This was something Terence was yet to see he knew this might change the out come of the battle now, but he couldn't let it stop him.
Terence jumped forward with his sword held high ready to attack, he thrust the sword down and hit the ground as Dagon moved instantly. The second Terence thought of where he could be his instinct screamed at him to dodge to the right, he did and narrowly missed the blade as it was swung past him. He could feel the energy coming off of Dagon and was surprised about how much it had grown over a few seconds. Terence rolled on the floor and got back up then was met by Dagon's tail coming towards him as fast as a bullet. Terence blocked the attack with his blade and then blasted the tail with energy from his hand. The tail slammed on the ground and Terence dived towards Dagon, Dagon blocked the attack and punched Terence, the force of the punch made him move back and lose balance and fall on one knee whilst sliding along the floor. When Terence looked up he saw Dagon swinging for him with his blade, Terence pushed on the floor and flipped backwards and when he was in the air he charged his blade with energy. When Terence landed he sliced his blade through the air and a shockwave of energy hurled its way towards Dagon. Dagon dived out the way and then looked at Terence who was now running at lightning speed towards him. As he got closer Dagon went for a Swiping swing of his obscenely large blade towards Terence's exposed jugular. The blade was inches in front of his neck before Terence leaned back making the blade skim his nose, Terence used his left hand to punch Dagon in the gut making him double over and bend down clutching Terence's hand. Dagon looked up at Terence and went to swing his blade at Terence, Terence tried to move out the way but Dagon had his hand tightly. Terence built up the energy in his trapped hand and released it making Dagon's hand release its grip, Terence moved backwards as he moved the blade sliced down his chest making Terence yell in pain. Terence clutched the open wound with his free hand and as the blood seeped out of it making him weaker. Dagon took the opportunity to attack and ran then jumped in the air with his blade held high above his head ready for the finishing blow. Terence charged up his blade with his energy and jumped up towards Dagon shouting as the blades glowed with the energy they had built up. The blades connected and the power from the blades exploded forcing both Terence and Dagon flying as the energy's created a ball of power then exploded destroying the room they were in. The dust started to settle and Terence looked up and saw the room was destroyed, the pillars that held the ceiling up were cracked and almost collapsed, some of them were broken and rubble from them was on the floor. Terence got up and realised that the key sword was missing, he looked around for it and saw it in the middle of the room standing up as the blade was stuck in the ground. He looked around to find Dagon and he could see something moving under the rubble ahead of him. Terence went to move back but the rubble blasted to reveal a battered and bruised Dagon. His body was covered in cuts and parts of rubble were poking out of him where they had stabbed into his skin deeply and they still stayed in the open wounds.
' I guess you do know what you are doing, now its time to go all out' Dagon said.
Terence looked towards his sword and then back to Dagon who was now tearing the bits of rubble from his body, with every bit he took out blood seeped out of the open wounds making his body look like a master piece of torture. Dagon looked at Terence and smiled and without warning dived at him spearing him into a wall. Dagon grabbed Terence by the throat and held him up cutting the air from his lungs, the grip seemed to tighten with every passing second making Terence's vision out of focus and blurred. Terence punched Dagon repeatedly in the head trying to force Dagon to release his tight grip on his throat. Each punch made the grip weaken making Terence's vision come back slowly, when he gain enough of his vision Terence let out a kick of power and desperation. The kick landed on Dagon's ribs making him let go and groan in pain as the pain seared through his rib cage. Terence landed on the floor clutching his throat in pain as he tried to fill his air thirsty lungs. He got up and punched Dagon in the face making a crunching squelch sound as it connected. Dagon's faced moved to the left as the hook connected and Terence followed up with a quick but powerful kick to the ribs that sent Dagon sliding backwards on the floor. Terence ran towards him his throat still burning and jumped up in the air to deliver a powerful punch to Dagon's face. Only inches away Dagon grabbed his hand and slammed Terence to the floor making it crack with the impact of Terence's body crashing against the hard stone ground. Dagon went to punch Terence in the face but Terence moved his head out the way and the fist hit the ground getting stuck inside it. Terence kicked his leg up around Dagon and started to crush his waist in-between his legs. The pressure from the closing legs was immense and a faint crunching could be heard as Dagon's pelvis started to crack. Dagon yelled loudly as the pain grew and grew making him try more desperately to get out of the hold he was trapped in. Dagon started to punch Terence's ribs only to have his grip grow tighter and tighter. Dagon saw the cut on Terence's stomach from the blade before jammed his hand in the still open wound making Terence shout in the pain that coursed its way through his body. From the open cut that now bleed even more then before because the hand had reopened the cut making the blood run from it onto his skin. Dagon dug his hand in deeper making the wound bleed more and more. Terence yelled in pain from the wound that was now causing him to bleed severally.
'Now I will finish this meaningless conflict with my most powerful move "The last transformation of the Deamon over lord Lazuontox Entrazel" with this I will destroy you and all the hopes of you pathetic half-breed scum' Dagon said with a menacing voice that taunted Terence.
With this Terence could feel his power growing and the rage inside him build up reaching it peak. Dagon got of Terence and grabbed his blade then Stabbed Terence through the chest with it. The pain shot through his body as the blood sprayed into the air slightly then ran out of the open wound. As Dagon looked at Terence as he bled on the floor the crimson liquid flowing out of the wound. Terence could feel his conciseness going slowly and his vision was going black and blurry, but something was inside him growing and growing like he was about to burst. The pain was in his skull as his right hand started to shake a little at first but as the pain grew the hand shock more violently. This sensation was somehow familiar to Terence, 'what! No! Not now! V NOOOOOOO!' he thought inside his head. The pain coursed its way through his head and spread over his body, Terence was feeling not just pain but fear. As Dagon looked at Terence's body shake violently, he noticed that he could feel Terence's power increasing. It was slow at first now it is at a level that could be deemed impossible for a human, or a half-breed for that matter. Terence could feel himself losing to the battle inside of him, the question was what was this V?
Terence was now in a black void as he stood there no cuts on his body whatsoever. Was he dead? Terence took a few steps forward and stopped as he heard the voices echo in his head and an outline of someone appeared in front of him. The outline was just like a humans but the lines glowed red just like Terence's half Deamon form. Terence stood there on his guard as the figure moved its way towards him. The steps it took were echoed and Terence's breathe was loud and had a hint of fear in it. The figure stopped in front of Terence only by about half a meter, its face was looking down and its hair was long and black covering its face. It looked up and the fringe covered most of its face but the eyes that were black on the outside, then it went red around the pupil with the pupil black but it was a slit instead of a round pupil. Terence looked at the eyes as they seemed to pierce into his soul making his spin freeze. The eyes just looked at Terence making him even more fearful of what...well who this was.
'Hello boy' said the person in front of him. Its voice was inhuman like Terence's voice in full Deamon form but it sounded like it was deeper and its presence was immense.
'Hi, what are you doing here?' Terence said trying to make his voice sound fierce.
'Remember this is my prison until the time comes when I can be free' He said to Terence then moved one step back and held his hands up to his sides spread out.
When he did this the blackness dissolved into an image of what Terence could see before he did this, the image showed that Terence was grabbing the sword and pulling it out of him. When the blade was out of him he threw it away into a wall. Then Terence's body got up and looked at Dagon who was standing there on guard ready to fight Terence's body unknowing who was in control of it. Terence looked in shock at the person in front of him and went forward but was pushed away by some sort of force and fell to the floor.
'You want your body back do you?' The being said and smiled at Terence revealing teeth that were normal but the side canines were like razors. 'TAKE IT!'
Just as he finished he walked towards Terence and held out his hand making a replica out of Deamon energy. The replica made its way to Terence and was now above him, the hand fell to the floor and Terence narrowly missed the collision. The hand swept its way on the floor and grabbed Terence and picked him up crushing him in its energy formed hand. Terence shouted in pain as the hand crushed him slowly.
'You are weak and arrogant you will never be able to awaken the powers inside you...My powers!' the person said to Terence bringing him closer to him with his replicated hand.
Terence looked into the person's eyes seeing the emotions going through him, anger, hate and even fear. But why fear? Fear for Terence, fear of death, fear of being trapped again? No one knew, not even Terence who had known this person all of his life.
'You think that I'm weak huh?' Terence said, his voice rasped and strained by the pressure put onto his ribs by the hand. 'Well I will prove you wrong, I am not weak I have more power then you could ever get'
'Ha! You think your more powerful then me...you can't even fight off Dagon whilst me' he said then pointed to his right.
You could see that Terence's body was Fighting Dagon with just magic making Dagon struggle to finish the process he started.
The process was a transformation, what it does it changes Dagon both physically and spiritually because the power and soul of the over lord Lazuontox Entrazel he was the first lord of the Deamon realm who's power was so strong he was banished into the "eternal stone of sealing". It is said whoever wields the stone and gives it the blood of the "arena champion" will gain the power of the over lord and be able to rule the Deamon realm and have the power to control the "Elite 6". The Elite 6 are the most powerful Deamon warriors known to all the realms. It is said that only the over lord Lazuontox Entrazel could control them because they were his closest and most trust worthy friends. Who he gifted by increasing there powers and making them the lords of the 6 sectors. They were in charge of all goings on in the sectors they controlled.
Sector 1 was called Evanto in this sector there where the low ranked Deamon's who would have to be trained to become more powerful. Sector 2 was called Provinde, this was where the more powerful Deamon's where and they were also trained if they wanted to. Sector 3 was called Nirivaneo this was where the elite Deamon's lived and they would be charged with the task of keeping order in all the sectors below them. Sector 4 was Tomenske this was the place where the arena was kept as the whole of this sector was counted as the arena because the official arena was not built yet. Sector 5 was where all the elite Deamon's where able to go to relax and train in more strict conditions if they were to become the Elites guard, this place was called Carrabenze. Sector 6 was called Andromidaz this was where the Lazuontox Entrazel and the 6 lived and they trained each other and governed all the things going on in the Deamon realm.
The energy blast flew through the air making there way towards Dagon who was still trying to find somewhere to hid and be able to fully start the process as he had not got the blood on the stone yet meaning he would have to get the blood on the floor or throw the stone onto the blood and make a barrier around it. Only problem with that was that he would have to try to get into the barrier, meaning to get there he would have to take the barrier down for a few seconds leaving the stone venerable to attack, and if the stone was attacked and broken then it was all over.
Terence looked back a V who was just looking at him in the eyes knowing that Terence saw he was not on the same level as that meaning he would find it hard to fight off Dagon. He couldn't just give up now, he had come all this way to finish this and he intended to as himself and not to let V do it for him otherwise all Terence had accomplished was for nothing. He had learned so much about his ability's and has survived all that had been thrown at him, so he couldn't just give in now he WILL win this fight even if it kills him as that was the promise made to a friend who died in his arms.
'You are not going to win this time V' said Terence letting his anger and power build up inside him.
'Really you are weak, you can't protect yourself let alone the ones you love. How long before SHE dies again.' V said to him at the word "she" Terence seemed to twitch 'you don't deserve to live or fight with my powers...you will lose her again and you won't get her back this time'
'Yes Valin...I will, I will go to the ends of all the realms no matter what the situation is to protect the ones close to me and to protect...MY TASK!' Terence said
When Terence said this he sent a blast that opened the hand holding him and Terence fell to the floor on one knee and looked up at a shocked Valin.
'I will never give up, I will never rest, I WILL NEVER DIE!' Terence shouted as he let the rage out.
Terence moved like a bullet and punched Valin in the stomach lifting him off the ground and in mid air Terence let out a powerful uppercut that sent Valin in the air. As he was in the air Terence jumped up and grabbed him then started to continuously punch Valin in the face before throwing him to the ground. As Terence went down to the ground Valin sent a blast of energy that Terence dodged and as Terence looked back to Valin he was kicked hard in the face sending him down to the ground hard. Terence looked up as Valin sent a hand of Deamon energy at him again and Terence responded by shooting a big energy ball at the hand. When it connected with the hand the hand closed around the ball and melded into it, and the ball was shot back at Terence who jumped out the way of the blast but the shockwave made Terence fly in the air. As Terence was in the air then Valin made his way towards Terence and went for a hard punch and Terence grabbed the advancing fist before it could connect with him. The force of the punch sent both Valin and Terence flying through the air. Terence kicked Valin in the face which forced him to the side then Terence grabbed Valin's face and head butted it. As Valin was going to the floor Terence shot a blast of energy at him that forced him to hit the ground harder. Valin was lying on the floor and Terence flew towards him with his fist covered in Deamon energy ready to deliver the last blow. The fist was only inches from Valin's mid section before Terence was hit by an invisible force causing Terence to be pushed back and land on the floor. Terence looked over to Valin to see him getting up slowly and smile at him before taking a few steps towards Terence.
'Well well what do we have here? I think I touched a nerve saying that.' Valin said happily. 'If you fight like that then who knows where you will get...but you need something else'
'What would that be?' Terence asked tilting his head to the side slightly
'you need to learn more about the power you have in you, at the rate your going now you will never be able to know the truth about the power you have in this lifetime.'
'I don't care about knowing everything all I need is to able to protect the realms as that is now my job at the moment, is it not?'
'It will take at least 2 lifetimes minimum unless, you take up the forbidden form that I was given as a part of the process I went through to become the Gate Keeper and to meld my soul with the Key Sword'
'The True Gate Keeper form?'
'Yes that form is pure power in it most raw form, manifesting itself both physically, mentally and spiritually'
'That is suicide though isn't it?'
'Not if you can control it'
'Only you have the ability to control it though, even though I am also the Gate Keeper I can't use that form as I am a half breed. The form alone would destroy me not to mention the power I will gain whilst in that form, and even if I am able to use it when I get out of it the withdrawal of power will drain everything out of me forcing me to the brink of death and that's if I'm lucky.
Valin moved closer to Terence, walking in a slow pace step by step making his was to Terence who could feel the power emanating off of him. The power seemed to now make a form physically and tendrils of Deamon energy grew and thriving off of Valin. After that his skin changed to the half Deamon then the full Deamon but even after that it changed to something completely different. It was like the half Deamon form in size but the skin grew small spikes out of the elbows and the spinal cord was more emphasised as were the muscles making the form almost human but also like a Deamon's at the same time. The eyes changed as well instead of having a single slit to more small slits grew on the side the ones on the side were black but in the middle the slit was a dark red colour. His hair grew shorter and was spiked up, the colour was the same as before a jet black. His ears were now pointed but they didn't poke out at all they seemed to only be melded to the side of his face. Also the markings all over his body changed and made what seemed to be glyphs as well as the same sort of design lines as before and they seemed to move up and go over his face slightly and make a pattern on it. The skin was like humans more then a Deamon's because it was a black human skin instead of the normal Scaly skin you get on the typical Deamon. This was something completely different from anything Terence had seen. Valin looked at Terence with his fierce eyes with a smiling face.
'This is the form of the True Gate Keeper' said Valin
'It just like a human, Deamon and elder mixed in!' Terence shouted
'Exactly, boy. This is why I Valin Makanzio Unraama was made an elder after being exiled to the human realm to become one. I alone am the only exile to gain my full powers as a human making a pure mix of human and Deamon energy. When I became an elder I was deemed the most powerful in the art of power control and I was also deemed the one with the most Spiritual and unstable energy, in which they thought me best suited to becoming the Gate Keeper of not just the earth realm but...all of them!' Valin explained
'So how do you expect me to take that form?'
'I have faith in you, boy. I cant be in control and use your power for long as you are the only part of this body that can create the power that is needed'
'...yeah I know...why me though?'
'After all you are the true key to the swords full form'
'What do you mean?' Terence asked moving closer intrigued by what was said
'You will find out soon, boy' Valin said then he looked at his right hand as he held it up in front of his face. 'But right now you must go back and save us all'
At that moment Valin thrust his hand into Terence's stomach, the pain shot through him quickly but also a weird woozy sensation moved through his body. Terence grabbed Valin's hand in a futile attempt to dislodge it from his abdominal. The hand slowly moved forward inside him, all Terence could do was look as Valin seemed to merge with him.
'Our power will become one from now on. You have passed the test, it is time for you to know the truth about OUR power'
Valin then moved quickly inside of Terence as Terence clutched his stomach feeling the power inside him raise to obscene levels. Was this the true power he would be given as the new Gate Keeper. Terence then felt a sensation move straight to his brain as it started to burn. Images rushed past Terence's head giving him the memories of Valin's past. What seemed like lifetimes to Terence was only seconds in reality.
Terence woke up with a shield around him and seeing Dagon moving towards him with the stone in the blood. The stone was glowing brightly and Terence knew it was not or never and moved faster then he ever thought possible he sent a blast at Dagon who dived out the way towards the stone. Terence jumped after him and they collided in the air and Terence's power sent Dagon into the wall as Terence started to pound on Dagon with his fist carrying Deamon energy with each punch. Dagon grabbed one of the fist's and dodged the other punch and with his free hand he hit Terence hard in the ribs making Terence move down, as he did Dagon moved his head up sharply forcing Terence to stumble back with the force of the heads colliding. Terence regained his balance and moved his head to the right as Dagon went for a hard punch to the head. Terence responded by picking up Dagon on his back and flying up in the air and crushing him against the ceiling and then threw him will such force that when he hit the ground the stone flew in the air. Terence flew as fast as he could and went to shot the stone with a blast of energy. The blast was inches away when was hit by another blast and the stone was hurled to the ground with such force it was deemed to smash. But something happened it glowed brighter and flew into the now standing Dagon's chest. As it did tendrils of energy consumed Dagon making him scream in pain his voice changed from a scream to a sick roar of power as the tendrils tighten on him. His skin changed and he started to become something difference. Terence knew full well what had just happened the process was complete Dagon was not the Deamon overlord. The blade that was Dagon's flew into his hand and changed as the spikes melded into one blade and the blade shortened in width but grew in height. The blade stood 1.5 meters long and was shaped like a traditional samurai sword. The now changed Dagon looked at Terence and smiled.
'You think you can beat me now huh? Well I will crush you regardless' Dagon said his voice sounded more like an animals then before.
Dagon shot like a bullet towards Terence and caught him off guard by hitting him with the sheath of the sword sending him flying into the wall. Terence put his feet on the wall and then pushed of with Deamon energy. The force of the energy made Terence go right into Dagon but he didn't move, not an inch. Dagon let out a laugh and elbowed Terence in the back as a spike formed stabbing into his lung, Terence could feel the warm blood fill his lungs and come out of his mouth. Dagon moved the spike around making the hole bigger and the pain grew. Terence moved and broke the spike off of Dagon's elbow causing him to yell in pain and launch Terence to the ground. When Terence hit the ground the spike dug deeper into his chest and made him shout out in pain but choke on the blood that filled his throat. The blood sprayed on the floor as Terence coughed it up, the pain in his lung was making it hard for him to breath. Terence got up and tore the spike out of him causing blood to spay on the floor. 'I have one last shot now...I must try to become the full Gate Keeper, its now or never' Terence thought and with this he held his hand out and his blade dislodged itself from the ground and flew into Terence's hand. He gripped the handle tightly and held the blade in front of him parallel with the blade facing the ceiling. He concentrated on his energy but he couldn't do anything the pain was too much for him to handle as he fell on his knees. Could this be it? How can Terence survive the odd's put against him?
'You think you can beat me in this form? Soon I will awaken the 6 then you and your realm will be destroyed by us' Dagon said as he landed in front of Terence
'N. you wont get away with it...I will stop you' Terence gasped barely on the edge of consciousness.
Dagon got the blade out of its sheath and held it on Terence's shoulder.
'No you will die and everything and everyone you ever loved will be killed by MY hand'
'That will not happen, I will not let it happen even if I die to protect it I will destroy you and the 6 if need be'
Terence started to stand up slowly and Dagon pulled his sword in the air and went to slice but Terence grabbed his hand as he went to cut Terence. Dagon looked In Terence's eyes as the slits changed into 3 parts. The skin itself changed and Terence's teeth showed as he gave a vicious smile that pierced into Dagon's hopes. Terence then booted Dagon forcing him to fly through the air and hit the wall. Terence's vision was now more focused and he could see the magical energy around Dagon without concentrating on it although it was faint he could feel the cut's pain slightly go.
Terence looked at his hand as they changed the fingers got thinner and the phalanges started to grow outward like a spike was coming out of them making his hands look more dangerous. Also at the same time his nails became sharper and slightly longer. Terence could feel everything change as his markings changed and formed glyphs making him sure he had done it. He looked at the key sword and it started to change as a blade formed around the knuckle area and covered it, also the two blades came together and then thinned out just like Dagon's new blade but the blades then split so they were next to each other not face to face but side to side. The handle got bigger as well making it easier to carry, Terence looked at himself and he could see the cut was healing and the glyphs o across his chest in a circle saying all the elements and on the stomach they were going down on the right is said 'love, happiness, peace, prosperity, and power' on the left it said 'hate, anger, war, chaos, and madness' on his back it says on the right ' I will give you LIFE' and on the left it says 'but I will also give Death'. On his right arm it says 'I protect all innocent souls of the light' on the left it says 'But I punished the corrupted souls of the lost'. The markings were spreading onto his face making him look like he was a pure fighting machine. This was something different from Valin's version of the form Terence's seemed more like a warrior based form.
Dagon watched in shock as Terence got up and looked straight at him, the stare was hard and cold. The feeling that Dagon felt was like fear but more excitement, to have been able to see this form and to be able to fight on level grounds as it. Dagon held his sword up ready to attack but Terence just stood there and smiled. Terence held his hand out as if to shoot a ball of energy, but 3 balls came and landed next to him and formed clones of Terence. Dagon looked as the clones got up and walked a few paces forward. Dagon put his hand out and made clones as well, the clones were a darker shade of red and they looked more powerful then Terence's. Terence walked forward and put his hand out making his clones run towards Dagon and attacked him and his clones. Terence watched as they fought and Dagon was distracted and Terence took this opportunity to attack and moved behind Dagon and went to attack but was hit by a clone's blast and knocked back. Terence was now in the middle of the fight with only one clone left he had no choice but to fight. Terence attacked faster then anything he thought possible and seemed to be fighting the clones with ease and soon he had killed them and it was just him and Dagon. This was the battle that would determine the outcome of all realms. Terence held his blade up ready for anything that would happen and sure of his cause, he must...no he will win this fight not just for himself but for every being in the realms. It was then Dagon jumped towards Terence with his blade ready to attack moving towards Terence with blinding speed. The blades clashed sending a bright spark of light from the blades. Terence punched Dagon in the stomach making him wince in pain and then he was blasted by the energy built in Terence's hand. In the short time Dagon was in the air Terence built up energy into his fist again and when Dagon bounced back towards Terence, Terence blocked the blade and threw a hard punch to Dagon's face sending him to the left and into a wall. Dagon got out of the wall then attacked Terence with a blast of energy, but Terence had a barrier and blocked it. Terence looked up only to have to block Dagon's blade, they were parrying there attacks and using everything they could by any means necessary to win this fight and ultimately the war. The blades clanged and the blasts rung out in the hall as they fight. Terence knew this was going to go on for a long time if he didn't do something quickly so he dived into Dagon and speared him into a wall. Then Terence started to punch Dagon in the ribs with Deamon energy covering his fists. Each punch connected with a force that could crush rock. Dagon was taking a beating but he then pushed Terence and head butted him. Terence stumbled back and on the rebound he swung his blade at Dagon who was able to block it and then they carried on parrying with there blades and fists. The fight carried on with them flipping and sliding trying to get the advantage on the other. The fight seemed even and Terence didn't know how long he could keep this form on for so he had to try to get some sort of advantage. When Dagon Swung his blade Terence blocked it and kicked Dagon forcing him back and then Terence went to attack but Dagon blocked it and then went to shot a blast of energy at Terence but Terence dived out the way and then shot a blast at Dagon making his shoulder move back and leaving him open for attack. Terence blasted himself towards Dagon before he regained his composure and was able to block, Terence's blade came closer to Dagon and was almost touching him when Dagon disappeared. Terence was in mid air confused and then was on the floor with pain going all through his back as he turned around he saw what had happened. Dagon had jumped onto his back and slammed him to the ground.
'Now it is time to get serious my friend' Dagon said
As he said this he charged up the energy in his hand ready to attack, Terence knew this wasn't good and decided to burst energy from his legs to slide out the way of the attack. As he did the attack hit the ground and then a spike came up and caught Terence's leg and launched him in the air. Terence looked at Dagon as he walked towards him smiling. Terence then blasted the energy that trailed across the floor making Dagon go flying up in the air and crash into the ceiling. Terence cut the spike and landed on the floor, he tore what was left of the spike out of his leg. He put weight on the leg and then thought of how he was going to do this with just one good leg left to use. Soon it came to him he must take blood even though it would be a very dangerous mix as it is a Deamon's blood. Terence would have to risk it though it was pretty much his last card to play right now. Dagon landed on the floor and went to slice Terence but he dodged it and elbowed Dagon in the back. Dagon moved forward and groaned as he felt his spinal column shake from the impact of the hit. Terence grabbed Dagon by the shoulders and pulled him forward, his neck was close to Terence's razor sharp teeth ready and wanting the blood that was in Dagon's vein's. The teeth pierced Dagon's neck and blood rushed into Terence's mouth, as he felt the blood go down his throat he could feel the powers mixing and exploding inside him. Dagon groaned in shock as the grip of Terence's jaw tightened on his neck and the blood sprayed into Terence's mouth quicker from the more exposed wound. Dagon grabbed his blade and thrust it into Terence's Stomach making him loosen his grip but not enough for Dagon to get free. Dagon could feel himself going nauseous from the blood loss, this was no good if he lost too much blood he won't be able to heal instantly and the damage he has now would affect the battle. In one last attempt to get free he turned his sword around in Terence's stomach making him loosen enough for Dagon to free himself. Dagon then tore his neck from Terence's grip leaving a gapping hole in his throat as the blood pored out. Terence looked at Dagon and smiled showing his teeth letting blood flow from his mouth and his markings grew brightly and the slits on his eyes grew bigger and his blade glowed with energy. Dagon looked at his neck and it healed up leaving just a slight stain of blood on the skin. Terence smiled at Dagon as he looked at the blade still in his stomach and tore it out making blood spray on the floor. Terence threw the blade at Dagon who caught it and looked at Terence about to attack but he wasn't there. Dagon felt breathing on his neck and looked around to be hit by Terence's fist sending him flying. As Dagon was in mid-air Terence ran and caught up with his flying body, grabbed his leg, pulled him towards him then blasted him to the floor. When Dagon hit the floor Terence went to attack him with his blade but Dagon blocked it and then went to boot Terence who just grabbed his leg and launched him in the air. As Dagon was in the air Terence shot a blast at Dagon and then jumped up in the air above Dagon. Dagon blocked the blast but not the second one that Terence launched from his blade that made Dagon hurl to the ground with incredible force. Dagon got up to his feet slowly only to be punched in the gut and then hit with a fist of Deamon energy. The fist then grabbed Dagon and slammed him to the floor repeatedly. Dagon was getting weaker and the wounds weren't healing as fast as they normally would. Terence walked up to Dagon smiling, something was different about him he had a mad look in his eye it was not anger or anything like that but more like he was enjoying it and was just messing around like this was a game to him. Terence picked Dagon up and booted him to the wall before stabbing his blade into him, embedding him into the wall. Terence grabbed Dagon's face and pounded his deamon infused fists into his face and stomach. Every punch made the blade come out of him, soon Dagon dropped his blade and was defenceless to stop this brutal attack. The power behind each punch was unmatched by anything that Dagon had felt before, this was not the Terence he was facing before, this was now a monster, a beast that will destroy him soon. The blade slipped out of Dagon's body and as it fell to the floor Terence grabbed the blade and then sliced Dagon in half with the blade at blinding speed. Dagon stood there unable to move at all and soon a line of red appeared down his body going slightly to the right of him. The top half of his body fell to the ground and blood poured out of the body as the rest slumped to the ground. Terence looked at the body on the floor as it started to slowly decay and turn to nothing but dust before his eyes. An orb of power floated ominously in the air in front of Terence and he held his hand out consuming the energy and therefore making his energy grow. As the energy grew Terence feel to the floor in pain, the energy was too much for his body. The fact is he does not have the ability to grow his power, it can only go to a certain level and this added power was well exceeding the level set. All the power started to burn at his skin and the markings grew to a light level that blinded Terence looking at them. Terence was on his knees clutching his head in pain, his power was like nothing before he had to release it...and quickly! Terence managed to get to his feet and the blade disappeared. He looked at the wall in front of him and he knew that he could get rid of the energy by fighting anything and everything he saw. He started off in a painful jog towards the wall, the energy started to swirl around him as he built it in a cover over his body. He started to sprint he got close to the wall and then dived pushing himself wit the Deamon energy he had around him. He hit the wall and an explosion blew away the walls were he hit it with such force and raw power. As he came from the wall the dragon holding Coby in its claws caught his eye. He flew towards the dragon like a bullet and then punched it in the face with so much deamon energy in his hand it blew up and forced Terence backwards. The Dragon let go of Coby who fell to the floor and looked up in amazement at the force of power that Terence had just released. Terence looked at the Dragon who roared in rage, the liquid that was soon to ignite in a fire that could lay waste to anything in its path dripped from the gaping jaw of the enormous beast. Terence looked at it with eyes that could lay waste to city's instantly, the power was visible from miles away you could see the tension quite literally because the tendrils of energy coming from both of them moved violently. Terence opened his palms and the energy grew creating a ball of energy that swirled around in his hands. Terence looked at Keiyavan waiting for the moment to strike. Keiyavan looked at the balls in Terence's hands knowing that this energy was not any normal humans it was the power of the Gate Keeper. 'I guess the power has fully awakened in him...but he is not Valin he is but a mere human, not a Deamon' Keiyavan said in his mind, but he was underestimating Terence and the power that this mere human could wield. Terence looked at Keiyavan as he made a blast of fire hurl towards Terence, Terence didn't move as the fire consumed him swirling its way around him. The ball stayed around Terence for a few seconds as Keiyavan smiled, so sure of his victory but that confidence was crushed as he saw Terence with a shield around him.
' H.h.h.?' said Keiyavan in shock
' You underestimated me...Big mistake' Terence replied.
Terence then crushed the orbs of energy in his hands and the markings on his arms glowed intensely. Terence then seemed to teleport in front of Keiyavan with his fists bunched up tightly and ready to deliver a powerful blow. The fist connected on Keiyavan snout freezing and all sound was gone all you could hear was the build up of power in Terence's fist...then silence. Everybody seemed to freeze in Terence's eyes time stood still and nothing was real he could hear voices in his head and then everything started to move very slowly and then got faster until the explosion of energy forced everything back in a power mass that was unparallel to anything Terence had seen in his whole life. Everything went red and then the light dimmed down as what seemed to be thousands of orbs grew into on big orb and still grew. Soon Terence noticed that the orb was power from all the Deamon's as the blast seemed too had killed them all. Terence looked at the orb and then at Keiyavan who was getting up from the explosion. The orbs flew towards Terence and started to form a shape of someone.
'This is the only time we will meet my lord, I will give you my power and I hope in return you will be able to save the fate of someone dear to me. My name is Nekane, I can only hope you will find my younger brother and save him from the fate he will soon face. I know you are the only one who can help I give you this power as a gift it is a power like no other a power that only the thousand master could wield' the energy form of Nekane said to Terence.
'How will I know who your brother is?' Terence said
'Go to Mahora Academy in Japan he is a Teacher there. You will notice him instantly I hope.' She said
Whilst the conversation was going on Everyone's eyes were on Negi as he looked in shock at the energy form of Nekane. Terence frowned at the sight now he remembered the true reason he was here...he had so much fun he forgot the reason he was truly here. This was not good now he would have to explain to Negi about the events unfolding right now. 'Well I guess this has been a royal screw up, he was not meant to be here it was meant to be Evangeline no one else. Maybe I could get help from them but this doesn't concern them its concerns me, Negi, Nekane and whoever else...to be honest I have no idea who else is involved...fuck it I cant be assed with all this shit' Terence thought to himself. With this he held out his hand and everything seemed to crumble and fade away, the whole environment was destroyed as Terence's memory faded. Nodoka, Evangeline and Negi just stood there in shock of the revelations that just happened...so this was the climax of Terence's memory then. This could have serious repercussions on the fate of not just Negi but the whole of Mahora could be in danger...who or what could be coming?
