Chapter 20
Falling from the stars, the giant smashed through the cube and completely destroyed it. Standing over the wreckage the king of the stars looked down to see the underworld king at his feet.
"well hello my old friend" Mard Geer greeted him
"I don't believe we can call each other such" the booming voice of the king spoke
"I'm surprised to see you here" Mard Geer said, "I didn't know that one of the fairies had the power to summon you"
"I see you still carry that dusty old book, have you not fulfilled your ambition yet?" the celestial king asked
"this old book holds the spirit of E.N.D, we will revive him and return to our Lord Zeref"
"so you still seek to bring life from those dead pages, are you so blind that you would plunge the world in to darkness just to fulfil your foolish ambition"
"I am not blind I can already see that our return to Zeref is close at hand"
The celestial king looked over to the crying blonde who summoned him, "my old friend lays on the ground sobbing in pain, did she try to impede your return to Zeref?"
"yes" the underworld king looked the giant in his eyes, daring him to strike
"her tears anger me, are you the reason they flow?" he asked, anger clear in his voice
"I think the time for talking has long since passed" Mard Geer said as the sun started to dip below the horizon
"I agree so in order to repay the debt I owe my old friend I will destroy all those who will do her harm" the king of the stars raised his sword
"will you now" Mard Geer said as he stood firmly before the angered giant
"you will pay dearly for what you have done" the king raised his sword, now glowing with power, and brought it down on to the demons head
The underworld king jumped up to become level with the giants face as he blocked a second strike from the celestial king's blade. The demon jumped around the wreckage, dodging every slash from the giant sword.
"are you just going to run underworld king?" the celestial king asked
"you still have the same weakness, it is quite nice to know I will win" the underworlds king said
"you are nothing but talk just as you have always been" the celestial king said before the two clashed again
Mard geer dodged another strike from the celestial king as he summoned his cursed thorns and impaled the spirit king in multiple places, holding him there. The demon king summoned more thorns as he stabbed the starry monarch in more places.
"these thorns are nothing compared to the pain my friends feels, for all that she had done for me and for the sacred bond that we share" the celestial king struggled against the thorns before he finally broke free, "I WILL DESTROY YOU"
The celestial king raised his glowing sword above his head and brought it down, carving the land in two as he sent out a wave of power. Mard Geer stood next to the newly formed cavern as he looked up at the king.
"you are still bound by the same weakness you have always had" Mard Geer said
"what do you mean?" the celestial king asked
"you are bond by celestial law" the smirk on Mard Geer's face faltered for a second as he looked over his shoulder, "so Jackal has been defeated by that lone fairy"
The demon jumped up as the two kings clashed over and over, "what happened?" Mard Geer asked as he blocked another strike, "you power seems to be waning"
"she has used up all her power" the celestial king muttered to himself
"if the wizard that summoned you loses all their magic power then the spirit in turn loses a lot of their own power, that is celestial law" Mard Geer said as he landed in front of the giant
The celestial king raised his sword as he opened up the heavens and the wreckage started to glow with celestial power, "will you destroy your summoner as well?" the demon asked knowing what this light must mean
The celestial spirit king cracked a smile as the red tissue that encased all the mages started to melt away. They all pulled themselves up, dazed and confused, but they soon got to work finding each other.
"you've broken the Alegria" Mard Geer said as he realised what the king had done
"the light of the starts has chased away your darkness, I now leave it up to my old friend and her comrades" the celestial king started to glow as he was pulled back to the celestial world, "there is oe last thing I must do before my old friend carries on what I started, good bye I know our next meeting will be more joyful"
"you're running away" Mard Geer reached out as the celestial spirit king vanished
The tips of the demons fingers started to turn to stone and soon his whole hand was rock, it spread all across his body until he was finally completely encased in stone.
