The War Against Drakath
In this chapter, we'll get to find to find out what happens to our heroes as usual…and yes, they won't end up horribly dying…because that would be horribly dark and depressing, and you probably wouldn't enjoy that…
Anyways, you probably want me to hurry up and start this chapter…since you've been complaining that I haven't been updating enough. Well, here it is, the finished chapter in all its final glory.
Chapter 35: The Biggest Undead Ever
I wasn't sure what I was going to do about all of this. Last time I checked, Masamune34 and Blackmagic13 were in charge of doing damage to the Third Beast of Chaos…and they were currently in the clutches of O-Dokuro, who was squeezing them tightly.
"Gah!" Masamune34 screamed in pain.
"Make it stop!" Blackmagic13 screeched.
Seeing though my friends were in trouble, I decided to use one of the few spells I knew...which naturally was healing others.
Unfortunately I missed and I ended up hitting the skeletal monster instead, which interestingly enough seemed to be injured by it.
I wondered what was going on. Curious, I casted another Heal spell, which caused it to clutch its head and drop Masamune34 and Blackmagic13 on the ground.
"Thank goodness." Masamune34 stated.
"Ugh…" complained Blackmagic13.
Suddenly, I remembered something very important about zombies and the like…that being undead was basically the opposite of being alive, and that therefore healing spells were harmful to them…why didn't I think of that before?
I tried casting a light spell on O-Dokuro, which suffice to say had very harmful effects on it. Masamune34 and Blackmagic13 continued fighting the beast, which was useful considering that the beast of chaos was now focusing its efforts on me. I wondered if it was going to squeeze the life out of me like it did with my friends.
"Graarrghh!" it bellowed.
To answer my question, it began shooting purple lasers out of its eyes…personally, I'm not exactly sure how it did that, but it aimed them specifically at me…it was a good thing I casted a barrier spell at that particular moment…otherwise I might have been fried and we'd have to have a funeral for me shortly afterwards.
Eventually, we managed to destroy one of the skeletal monster's arms, which significantly weakened it, and allowed us to land more attacks on it. In other words, I managed to get a considerable break from healing for a change…and I could recharge my mana somewhat to prepare another offensive spell.
We continued battering and battering at the beast, and eventually we managed to destroy its other arm…suffice to say it looked like we had nearly reached victory.
"You're not so tough now without your arms to punch and squeeze us, aren't you?" taunted Blackmagic13. She seemed to love combat a bit more than was healthy, if you ask me.
Eventually, O-Dokuro couldn't take it anymore, and ultimately it collapsed into a pile of bones (perhaps we should have brought barbecue sauce?)…which suffice to say left us with the task of defeating Kitsune and stopping him from making Yokai Isle become Yokai-only.
"I wonder where Kitsune is, anyway?" I asked, looking around. Where had he gone off too? To be honest, we had lost track of him while were fighting the overgrown skeleton.
Suddenly, we heard a sound which curiously sounded like something being opened…as it turns out, while we were occupied fighting the chaos golem, we realized that he had already opened a rift to the Yokai World using the Hanzamune Sword, causing an entire army of Yokai to immediately invade. Pretty soon all of Yokai Isle was under siege...you think that the guards were on lunch break at the time? I couldn't see them anywhere.
"This is really bad." said Masamune34. Of course, we didn't really need him to tell us that. What were we going to do?
Unfortunately, the Emperor was still in a trance just like before, so there wasn't anything he could do to help his royal subjects with the situation…in other words, it looked like Princess Ai No Miko was in charge. She stated that it was up to us to participate in the battle and stop the mess that the Chaos Fox (at least, I believe that he's a fox, he was capable of walking upright and speaking, so I'm not exactly sure) had caused…and that we were the only ones that could stop him. And judging how intense things were, it looked like we would have to act quickly or the entire isle would be lost.
It's a shame that there are always so many wars in Lore…I really wish that it could be a more peaceful place without all the evil villains that are always making it miserable for their own personal gain. Blackmagic13 jus stated that she wanted to bring Kitsune to justice…which I suppose he deserved, even if he wasn't always evil…
"For Battleon!" exclaimed Masamune34.
"For Swordhaven!" I shouted.
"For Shadowfall!" Blackmagic13 declared.
Masamune34 and I glared at the dark sorceress.
"What?" she inquired.
And so we charged into battle, swinging swords and casting spells and whatever Yokai leaped at us. It was going to be a long day…
Once again, our heroes find themselves involved in another war…let's hope that Blackmagic13 won't start one someday, because that would probably lead to horrific bloodshed…
Anyways, we'll find out what happens to our heroes in the next chapter…but you shold know that by now.
