Chapter 11: Counter Attack
An explosion occurred on the Fahrmann Village. The Haan guardian, Aren, was not very happy with this. Firstly, he lost both strongest warriors, Ara and Eun, who were engaging the invaders to prevent them from stealing the Nine-Tail spirit, and Elsword who was still unconscious. Secondly, Drabaki, The Warden of Darkness, showed up right after the women left for it. And lastly, his army was wearing out.
"Fire!"
Many cannons launched the cannon-balls at the beast which caused ineffective damage on its thick armor. He clicked his tongue in annoyed when Drabaki breathed the dark flame on the defense frontier.
"Stand your ground, comrades!" Aren encouraged "If we fall here, the kingdom will be fallen!"
Aren equipped his katana and headed to the frontier to give them more time until Ara and Eun returned.
"Nii-san, where are you going?!" The young girl screamed out.
"I will be back! You stay there and guard the shrine!" Aren told before he vanished among the chaos.
Ara(young) was afraid. She was now alone with the duty to protect the Nine-Tail spirit and the Red Knight inside the shrine. She startled again when she hard another cries of pain and death echoing the sky along with the the thunderous roar of Drabaki. She hardly took it anymore and went inside the shrine to calm her down.
The little Xia then found something, or someone, missing.
The Red Knight is gone.
On the other battle, Elsword(DK) and Lu were greatly annoyed by the pesistance of Eun and Ara who were engaging them. Ara chose the queen of demon as her opponent to drag her away from the Dark Knight.
"Troublesome fox." Elsword(DK) clicked his tongue in annoyance, wasting his time.
"Deal with it." Eun smirked "And you gonna be down, right here, right now!"
- Fire Fox -
Dark Knight dodged another wave of golden fire striking furiously. Elsword(DK) was forced to block the remain of its and returned with - Sword Wave - which Eun let slip pass her left before he charged at her again, slashing her down.
"I have no time for this!"
- Mega Slash -
- Luna Blade -
- Wind Blades -
If Elsword(DK) took this fight longer, Drabaki would absord the Nine-Tail Spirit and caused destruction to both mortal and henir world. He mutterred his apology, to which Eun let out her confused face and called out his attacks by pushing her back with one slash.
He called out the large gate behind his back and aimed at the fox girl. Eun barely blocked those imcoming swords and only stopped those that pointing at the vital points. Scratchs and cuts could be seen on her skin and clothes.
"Kuh!"
"Eun!"
Ara screamed out her name and was about to rush at her but she was being blocked by the Queen of Demon and engaging her.
"No interfere, fox brat!" She smirked and charged at her with her claws, separating Ara from Eun and Elsword(DK)'s fight. Ara couldn't do anything beside attacking her.
Elsword(DK) pulled out the blue crystal sword from the gate and dash along with those - Wind Blades -. Eun barely noticed him while blocking those blades away. Until he was a few meters away from her did she realize that he was close to her with his blade ready to stab her. She raised her spear and blocked his blade. However, her spear couldn't withstand the heavy blow caused by Dark Knight and was shattered immediately.
Elsword(DK) kicked her away, seeing that she was unable to fight without weapon.
"I'm tired of this!" Elsword(DK) frowned and ran pass Eun without killing her. Lu just finished dealing with Ara with the same method he did to Eun.
"I broke her weapon, Elsword. She won't be able to interfere us anymore." Lu smirked.
The duo planned to disable their attack by destroying their weapons as both Elsword(DK) and Lu didn't want to shed the blood of the innocent, no matter how annoying they are. Plus, this helped them remove the hindrance from their plan.
"Elsword, are we just gonna leaving them?"
"We have no choice. The crack of time and space is getting stronger and stronger. We can't stay and play as their protector while the castatrophy will come in any seconds." He told.
Lu nodded. Drabaki is the most dangerous threat they have to get rid of before it could invade Time and Space and put the end to the world. They kept running through the village. Unbeknown to them, a faint light glowed above Eun and Ara.
Both Dark Knight and Demon Queen ran for a good few minutes until they sensed strong energy approaching from their back. It made Elsword(DK) gasped in realization and quickly turned around and pinned Lu down.
"Elsword! What the hell-"
Lu was confused by his abnormal action and was about to scold him when she saw something like lightning strikes down where they were a few seconds ago.
"That was close." Elsword(DK) sighed in relief before he helped her get up.
"Thanks for saving me, and what was that?" Lu asked.
"Nine-Tail power, but it's more powerful than Eun's." Elsword(DK) cursed "Damn it, Elsword. One step ahead of me, aren't you?"
"Damn it! Retreat!"
The Empire army's frontline defense was getting thinner and thinner by Drabaki as it slowly advanced closer to the shrine. They were forced to return to the temple and strengthened the last defense, to which the young Ara was in fear. Witnessing the beast roaring in anger made her scared to the core. The young girl tried her best to stand still and hold her spear, but her body was shaking, like she gonna pass out in any time.
'Move!' Despite yelling to herself, she couldn't dare to move a step. Her fear had overwhelped her strongl, adding to the fact that Drabaki's eyes were staring at her. She felt like they looked through her soul.
She watched as the beast rampaged the last defense of Empire Army, destroyed everything on its way and advanced to the shrine. However, the beast was stopped by the barrier the priest team from the empire casted to prevent any demon approaching the Nine-Tail spirit.
It kept slamming its head on the barrier to break through it and claim the spirit. Drabaki was forced to breath out the dark flame on it, but the result was the same. It went berserk and slammed its head on the barrier again, with more forcefully.
"Damn it!" One of the priests cursed "We can hold this no longer!"
A visible crack appeared clearly on where Drabaki was trying to break. The priests tried to covered the crack and recovered it. However, Drabaki furiously slammed it continuosly, leaving them no chance to recover the crack.
Until it reached to the point that Drabaki roared in anger and launched plasma bream into the dark sky. Much to everyone's horror, multiple meteors falling from above and wiped out everything on Fahrmann. All priests had hard time to block the incoming meteor strikes and pushed everything to their limit to keep the barrier intact.
"*cough*" One of them fell on the ground, reaching his limit and lost nearly all of his magic.
Slowly, one by one, the priest team fell, dead tired. It made the barrier worse and unable to prevent any attack from Drabaki and shattered upon a fiery attack.
"No…" Aren couldn't move his body. His strength was drained almost completely and watched the beast advancing forward to the shrine. "Ara!"
The said girl was just standing before the shrine, not daring to move. She was in fear, helpless, waiting for the death to come. The Warden of Darkness pointed its head on the sky, gathering its shadow power and shot through the sky to form a meteor.
She closed her eyes, expecting her death would come to her. She could feel the heat coming closer to her. The heat soon was subsided, which forced the girl to open her eyes in curiousity. Her eyes widened once she found what happened.
There stood the tall man in his silver kimono with red belt tied around his waist. His right shoulder was covered by white fur as both his hands was wearing what looked like claws, holding the red katana that emitted a crimson aura which covered the entire shrine and its people inside.
Beside her was a silver long haired woman with the same attire as the male's. However, the difference between them were the color. The red color from the male's emitted the strength aura while the blue one gave the power of speed.
"You alright, Ara?" She snapped out of her shock and recognized the voice when he asked her.
"Elsword?!"
"The one and only." Elsword smirked "Sorry for scaring you last time, but I was in a hurry to deal with someone."
"You mean you left some of Fox Spirits to stop them?" Ara/Eun spoke in amusement "You know that your copy can wipe them easily?"
"Just great, you start getting on my nerve, Elsword!"
Somewhere within Fahrmann, the said man broke his cool and screamed out like a mad man while blocking the strike from one of the foxes.
"Oya… can't handle this old man?" the Kurama smirked in amusement.
"Shut up you cheeky fox."
"Don't mind them."
"Ara nee-chan? Eun nee-chan?" the young girl called her name, hearing her voice mixxed with Eun "What… happened to you?"
"Ara, don't worry about us, dear." Ara/Eun said "We will explain about this."
Elsword raised his right hand and pointed his index finger before her eyes, casting small magic to put her into sleep. While she felt her eyes heavy and was about to fall on the ground, she heard a faint voice whispering, his warm breath blowing her ears.
"You gonna be fine, Ara."
She couldn't understand her feeling. Hearing those words made her calm and drifted into her sleep peacefully despite the battle occurring right before her. Elsword calmly carried her in bridal style to prevent her from hitting on the floor.
"Elsword?" Aren was a little shock by his action "What are you doing?"
Elsword brought her close to the guardian and passed her to him while telling "Please protect her carefully, Aren. I can't fight Drabaki while protecting her at the same time."
Aren nodded "Alright. What are you gonna do?"
The Red Knight now turned to the Millennium Fox Guardian along with his girls faced the Warden of Darkness with great determination. They wanted to end the suffer caused by Drabaki.
"Finish this once and for all."
Without another words, Both Elsword and Ara dashed through the weak barrier and headed to Drabaki which caught the scene of the raw Nine-Tail spirit. Its head searched for the source and chased after Elsword and Ara that led them far away from the village. Unbeknown to Drabaki, they dragged it to the peak of Fahrmann. That's where the ultimate battle will begin.
