Chapter 36
-----
"Dragon Eye?" Gourry asked, by the tone of voices from the girls it is obvious something really bad.
"It is a very destructive attack, it obliterates anyone who touches it, turning your body into nothing but sand and killing us immediately, it is called Dragon Eye because the sphere that it is created almost looks like a Dragon Eye!" Amelia explained.
"Garv was the one who use such attack, he must have taught Valgarv how to use it!" Naga said. "When Lina and Garv fought in the tournament, he used that attack against Lina, she managed to escape the attack but the Dragon Eye ended up killing many of the spectators and almost destroying the building where the Tournament was being held.
"Yes………" Valgarv talked like a snake as he continues to concentrate his attack. "But I have developed this attack in such a superior level that it can obliterate anything in a thousand feet. And with the force field surrounding the stadium your end will come effortlessly!" the sphere starts to get bigger and bigger. "Say your last words you inconsequential insects, it is time for you to pay for the ridicules insults you have bowl on my person!"
The Slayers gave one step back; it seems that the tables have turn against them this time.
"We have to get out of here!" Naga said. "Maybe we can find a way out of this joint!"
"Right, let's go Lina!" Gourry called, but Lina remained on her place.
"No!" she said firmly.
"What?"
"I am not going to back away from this guy! I have defeated his master and I'll be damn if I let poor excuse for a fighter scare me away!"
"Lina don't be stupid!" Gourry shouted. "There is no way to beat him now! You know how powerful that attack is, if you stay here he will kill you! Please Lina, your life is more important than your pride!"
"NOW WHO'S BEING STUPID!!!!" Lina shouted back. "Where can we go? There is no place yet to go because of the force field, the only place we can go is forward!" she then looks back at her friends. "This is why we are different from Valgarv, even if we have a difficult and troublesome past we always step forward, we don't invent poor excuses like Valgarv does to justify our ways. This is the only way we can defeat Valgarv and it is forward!"
Amelia, Naga and Gourry said nothing, but Lina's words made them understand that it is true, if they back away now all their past battles were for nothing, it is time to show Valgarv that they haven't lost their sprits of fighting and survival.
"You're right Lina!" Gourry said very determinate to continue the fight.
"OOHOHOOHOHOH! It will take much more than that twit to defeat the great and powerful Naga!" Naga Laughed.
"We'll never give up!!!!!" Amelia shouted. "We are fighters of justice and we shall defeat the evil that combat us!"
"Amelia, no more justice speeches!" Lina, Gourry and Naga implored.
Valgarv chuckled sinisterly. "You short minded fools. It doesn't matter if you're determinate to persist with the fight, the result will still be the equivalent, it will end the decease of you all!"
"I don't think so!" Lina snapped. "I still have one more trick on my sleeve!"
"What?"
In that moment Lina starts to make a few movements and a red aura surrounds her body. And an impressive energy starts to concentrate on her entire being, so grateful that some parts of the building are starting to fall apart. Suddenly Lina moves her hands to her left side and all that energy stats to gather in Lina's hand, creating a small red energy ball.
-----
From their hide out The Master already got up to his feet when he saw Lina's body being all cover with the red aura. "Yes…..do it Lina…… release the final version of the Dragon Slave!"
------
"You think you can defeat Me Lina Inverse? NEVER!!! DRAGON EYE!!!!" Valgarv throws the giant sphere at Lina. "Now die!"
"I don't think so! DRAGON SLAVE!!!!" shouted Lina as she points her hands at Valgarv and a gigantic red blast emerges and hits Valgarv's attack.
The impact created a big explosion destroying the bus station and destroying the force field which trapped everyone.
Eris who was transmitting the entire fight for Rezo sees the explosion coming directly at her. "No…..no, NO!!!!! LORD REZO!!!"
------
Lina opens her eyes very slowly and sees a window right in front of her, a wet window because it is raining out side that is when Lina realises that she is in a bus and she has some sheets covering her. "I'm alive?...and in a bus?" she then turns around and sees Gourry sitting right next to her. "Gourry?"
"Welcome back Lina." Gourry greeted with a smile, which made Lina blush. "You've been unconscious for about five hours."
"But what happen?"
"Lina your awake!" created Amelia when she noticed that Lina is awake.
Only then Lina notices Amelia and sees that Naga is on the driver's seat driving the bus. "Will someone mind tell me what happen?"
"You defeated Valgarv, Lina." Gourry responded. "Or at least I think so."
"When you launched your attack it created a big explosion which destroyed the force field, the impact made you lose your balance and made you crash against the wall, we took that chance to escape." Amelia explained.
"With all the commotion we took the chance to steal a bus to make our get away!" Added Naga, still driving the bus.
"Gracia, don't say steal´! It is such a horrible word!" Amelia objected.
Naga just smirked. "What ever."
"So how long have we been….Ouch!" winded Lina as she tried to get up, she is still very shattered from her fight with Valgarv.
"Rest a moment Lina, you are still not recuperated." Gourry said as he puts Lina back to her seat.
"So how long have we been on the road?" Lina repeated.
"Actually we just got out of Atlas city."
"What? I was out for five hours and only now we got out?"
"Lina calm down, we created a big mess down at the bus station, so big that we made a big traffic." Amelia explained.
"Say Lina, can you tell us more about the last attack you used against Valgarv?" Naga asked, the last attack that Lina used intrigued her a lot.
Amelia nodded. "That's right Lina, we never saw that attack before but it was really impressive, what was it?"
Lina looks back at her friends and stayed in silence for a moment before telling the tale. "There are three forms of the Dragon Slave, first one is the Dragon Slave Punch, the second is the Dragon Slave Kick, the last one I used is the original form and it is just called Dragon Slave. It is a very indestructible and devastating attack, well used it liberates a powerful blast with no limits. I bet that Valgarv is dead because of that attack."
Every one was amazed when Lina explained the amazing power of the Dragon Slave. Naga on the other hand was a bit jealous with her eyes twitching.
"It is amazing Lina, but why didn't you never use it before in the past battles?" Gourry asked. "With that attack you can defeat every one who stands in your way."
"I know Gourry, but it is not simple. The attack is dangerous in a certain level, it doesn't hurt me but it is really devastating to the others, the attack is so strong that it can destroy an entire city."
Every one almost turns pale with the news, and to thing that they were trapped in the bus station when Lina used that attack.
Lina only remembered the first time she used that attack.
Flashback.
In a desert place Lina destroyed the entire place with the Dragon Slave, she was just nine years old at the time and even she was amazed with the power she unleashed.
"Bravo Lina." Lina's father congratulated. "You mastered the Dragon Slave attacks very easily, you took more time than your sister but you made it, I'm sure your mother must be very proud of you."
Lina looks back at her father with an excited look on her face.
"But be very careful!" Lina's father said with a serious voice this time. "With that attack you are sure to defeat all your opponents but the power it unleashes is truly destructive, the explosion it releases can even destroy an entire city and kill everyone in it, your mother once told me that the Dragon Slave attacks were created by a person who's soul was more darker than the night and more red than the blood. That is why I advise you to just use the Dragon Slave Punch and the Dragon Slave Kick, with just those two attacks you can defeat your adversaries. Understand?"
Lina was in silence for a moment before nodding her head. "I understand Dad. I will follow your advice."
End of Flashback.
"You…..you used the attack even knowing what it could do?" Amelia asked.
"What do you want me to do? We were facing a strong foe who wanted to kill us!" Lina replied. "But you know, I kind of enjoyed using the Dragon Slave, I think I'll use more times!" she teased.
"WHAT!?!?!?" Gourry, Amelia and Naga cried.
"Just joking you guys, just joking!" Lina lied.
-------
In Rezo's hideout.
"Go! I want every one looking after those meddling teenagers! Send out every search party available, check out every part of this city and I want some cars looking for them in the highways. There will be a big reward for the man who brings me information of their whereabouts! Now GO!" Rezo ordered and all his minions left the hide out for the look on the Slayers. "They can not be far away; they must be very tire after their fight with Valgarv."
"Lord Rezo, Lord Rezo! I have terrible news!" Dilgear shouted as he reached to his master. "Eris is dead! I heard from the news, she died when she got hit by Lina's blast! They found her body and they confirmed that she's not alive!"
"So?" that was the only thing that Rezo said.
Dilgear's stunned by Rezo's only response. "Sir……Eris died serving you!"
"She carries out with her mission didn't she?" he asked very coldly. "She was here to follow my orders. Nothing more nothing less. If she failed on her mission she would be executed!"
Dilgear could not believe Rezo's cold words, no one else was more loyal to Rezo than Eris, she sacrificed a lot for him but all that meant nothing for this man? Ever since Rezo meet The Master he's been so cold and hosted an disturbing cruelty.
"Now stop waiting my time with worthless news and call Zangulos and Vulgurm!" Rezo ordered. "Tell them that I will need their help to find Lina and her friends!"
"Zangulos and Vulgurm?" Dilgear asked wondering why Rezo wanted to call out his best fighter. "Are you sure it is wise sir? They are still on another mission and……"
"Enough! Follow my orders and call them I want to find Lina and her friends so that I might slay them myself!"
"Hum….will all due respect, Lord Rezo, I think you have lost your sight on looking for the magical object that The Master talked about that can restore your eyes. You are obsessed on destroying those teenagers!"
"The magical object can wait! Now go and accomplish my orders, I won't say it again!" Rezo threatened, and with that Dilgear left in a hurry.
-----
Valgarv wakes up to find himself in the highway in the middle of the night with no cars passing by. "How……how did I get here?"
"We brought you here!" responded a voice from behind.
Val turns back to see Seigren and Raltac and from the behind him there are some ninjas dresses in black surrounding a high sophisticated helicopter. "What is the meaning of this? Why am I here in this place and what happen to Lina Inverse? Did I murder her?"
"Sadly she is still alive!" Raltac responded.
"She managed to get away and we don't know her whereabouts." Seigren confirmed.
"NO!!!!" Valgarv screamed. "I refuse to accept that she escaped me! This won't end this way! I will obliterate here!"
"Sadly you won't be able attack anyone else!" Raltac said.
"What?" demanded Valgarv with Raltac's sudden reply. "What are you talking about?"
"What he means is that you are of no use to us anymore!" The Master responded as he got out of the helicopter. Every one landed on one knee when The Master appeared and started to walk to Valgarv. "Your fight with Lina Inverse was inspirational and I acknowledge my self…..disappointed! You were very pathetic, and you let your self be overpowered by Lina and your friends. I must say she is correct, you don't know how to fight, and to think that you are considered Garv's best apprentice."
"Who do you think you are to judge my fighting skills?" growled Valgarv as he looked at the guy who seems to be the same age as him with long white hair and dark skin.
"Who am I?" Chuckled The Master. "I am the future ruler of the world and the supreme commander of the Ognimirbahs."
"So you are the one that Lina Inverse talked about! But I don't care who you think you are and who you want to be, no one talks to me that way!" Valgarv brings out his dark wings to bring more power to him.
The Master chuckled some more. "Already pulling out your wings? The fear must have really conquered you when you failed in your brawl against Lina."
"What are you talking about? I fear no one or anything!"
"Then prove it! Come fight me!" The Master dared as he removed his cape.
"You sad insect!" Valgarv shouted as he launched himself against The Master.
Valgarv throws a dozen of punches at The Master but this one manages to block each one of Valgarv's attacks with just one arm in a very surreal speed.
Valgarv took two jumps back to regain composure, he could not believe it, those were his strongest punches and The Master blocked each one of them with just one arm.
"What is the matter? Already fatigue?" The Master taunted.
Valgarv's fury is so big that smoke starts to come out of his eyes. "Who do you think I am? I am Valgarv! I annihilate unimportant weaklings like you! I am much far greater than Garv and I won't tolerate a miserable insignificant like yourself to continue with such miserable insults! I am the best fighter in the world and I will prove that to your when I cut out your head!!!" he screamed.
This only made The Master chuckle some more. "Then prove it quickly, and since I have some important business to keep I must conclude this game. I will wrestle with both hands this time."
"Game? Game? GAME?" Valgarv's fury is reaching the critical level. "YOU WILL DIE!"
Valgarv starts his assault again throwing more punches and kicks at The Master who blocks each one of them with his arms.
Each attack are heartlessly brutal, each impact released such a impressive raw power that it is creating some cracks on the road, making some stone breaking free from the ground. But The Master still remained on his place with out blinking.
"Is that the best effort you can put together, young Valgarv?" The Master taunted.
"SHUT UP!!!" Valgarv screamed then takes a step back and shoots a green blast at The Master.
The blast was going directly at The Master's face but he dodged his head.
Valgarv took that chance to jump to the air and throw an air kick on The Masters face, who did not fall down.
"Now do you see how powerful I am?" Valgarv asked in an arrogant tone. "I don't know who you think you are but I am the only one worthy of the title of the king of all the fighters of the world!"
The Master smirked, ignoring Valgarv's comments. "Don't get so overconfident my friend, this fight just started and the disadvantage is already falling on you!"
Valgarv just growled and attacked The Master again who continues to block every punch and kicks from Valgarv with a sinister chuckle.
"I'm getting tire of this game, Valgarv, it is time for me to show you what I am capable of!" With that The Master finally throws a punch at Valgarv, hitting him on the face and making him crash against rocks and trees. The Master punched Valgarv so hard that made him fly away for about fifty feet distance.
The Master looks at his hand with a repulsive smirk. "It is hard for me to believe that I can do much better than this." Then he looks back at Valgarv who is getting a hard time getting up. "Are you done yet Valgarv? I'm disappointed; I assumed that you could put on a better challenge. It is such a shame."
"GRRRR!!!!" Valgarv roared. "How dare you say this? Up until now I only have been toying with you!" Valgarv gets up to his feet and starts to concentrate a new attack, his entire body is surrounded by green winds.
"Interesting…he's going to use the same technique he used against Lina and the others." Seigren said.
The green winds approach The Master who still hasn't moved an inch to escape Valgarv's attack.
"Why don't you try to escape death?" Valgarv asked from inside the Green wind and attacks The Master with dozen and dozen and punches and kicks and many other brutal assaults, attacks made by the devastating and brutal strength of the green wind.
After the attack was done, Valgarv took a few steps back to look at the smoke provoked by his Green wind attack. "HAHAHAHAH!!! Take that! Now you understand why I am the strongest?"
"Not really!" The Master responded from inside the smoke.
"WHAT!?!?!" Valgarv screamed then he sees The Master coming out of that some. "It can't be it is unfeasible!"
"Your attack is so weak." The Master taunted. "Everyone believed that you were much stronger than Garv but the truth is that you are just as weak as him!"
"DON'T YOU COMPARE ME TO HIM!!!!" Valgarv shouted so loud that his voice made eco all over the highway. "GARV FLARE!!!!" Valgarv shoots the attack at The Master.
Just like all the other attack The Master did not move and waited for the attack to come. When it was just one feet away The Master slapped the attack away.
"NOOOO!!!!" Valgarv screamed, he just could not believe that The Master just punched the Garv Flare like a wrack doll. "It is impossible…..how can this be?"
"You weak fool! Your power is nothing compared to mine!" The Master exclaimed. "Let me tell you something: do you know who the one who taught Garv how to fight is? It was me! I taught him every thing he knew until he betrayed me and developed his own fighting skills. Your fighting skills are nothing compared to mines, and now your job has ended."
"Job? What are you talking about?"
"I used you all this time, all this time I was interested In Lina and her friends, they have a fantastic ability that interests me a lot. But I wanted to test their skills, that is why I send you after them to push them to their limits and I must say that they have passed their tests. They defeated and humiliated you, but honestly I was hopping that you could provide a better challenge for them, it seems that you are really worthless, Valgarv!"
"SHUT UP!!!!!" Valgarv demanded and points his hands to The Master. "No one humiliates me like this, and most of all no one uses me like this. GREEN DEATH!!!!"
Valgarv shouted another green blast at The Master who disposes of it like he has done with the other attacks.
The Master just continues to chuckle at Valgarv's attempts to destroy him. "Poor Valgarv, you are such a fool, all this time you believed that we wanted to help you avenge Garv but you were just another puppet. It is such a calamity, you have skills in you but you are incapable of fighting. What a gag!"
Valgarv just continues to shake, he doesn't know if it is because of the fear or because of the desperation none the less he refuses to give up. "this is it, I'm going to use other ways!" Valgarv starts to concentrate to create another Dragon Eye.
He's using all the power he has left on him self, he's concentrating so hard that his energy is creating some thunders and lightning and some strong winds.
"Impressive, you are gathering more energy then when you use it against Lina." The Master whispered with a smirk. "Alright then, show me what you got!"
"NOW YES, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE! DRAGON EYE!!" Valgarv launched his gigantic attack against The Master.
The attack ran directly against The Master and like always he did not move, he simply lifts his hand up directly against the giant sphere coming directly at him.
"How disgraceful!" The Master taunted then he stops the Dragon Eye by holding it with his pinkie finger.
"WHAT!?!?" Valgarv screamed then lands on his knees, he never thought that he would see something like this, the Dragon Eye, his deadly and most powerful attack that can vaporise any adversary in a matter of seconds, an attack which no one can survive, still this man his holding his deadly attack and with just one finger. "Impossible……tell me this is a nightmare."
"But it is not, it is reality in his complete horror." The Master confirmed as he throws the Dragon Eye to the air.
The horror took over Valgarv, a person must be really powerful to hold the Dragon Eye with just one finger, just who is this man? Where did he come from?
"I am tire of this game, I'm going to end it quickly!" The Master said as he starts to concentrate his energy to attack Valgarv.
"You won't beat me…..no one beats me, NO ONE!!!" in desperation Valgarv charges against the Master.
In one swing move The Master throw an air punch directly at Valgarv which made him stop in his tracks.
Valgarv remained unmoved for a moment until he lands on his knees with blood coming out of his mouth, then he collapse on the ground.
The Master walks directly at him, grabs Valgarv on the hair and lifts him up. "Are you over already? Are you finished after receiving million punches of me for a second? You are really so pathetic, it sickens me to just stare at you!" The Master punches Valgarv on the stomach so hard that he let out a big cry of pain. "And here I thought that you were different than your master, that you were stronger. But actually you are a piece of trash just like him" The Master throw another punch at Valgarv, this time making him land on the road.
The Master starts to walk again, but this time walking to the elevator. "Let's leave! The fool doesn't have much time to be in this world."
"Don't you dare to depart!" Valgarv demanded in a weak voice trying to get up.
The master turns his head to Valgarv. "You really are not that smart my friend, challenging my power when you know that I am stronger."
"I am the strongest here, and I will kill you!" Valgarv shouted as he starts to run against The Master.
The Master simply point s the palm of his hand at Valgarv. "DRAGON SLAVE!!!"
The blast hits Valgarvs and practically almost destroys the road. After the blast was done the master sees the result of his destruction, the road is almost in rumble and he sees Valgarv on the ground all bloody and bruised and his wings are already gone but surprisingly still alive. The master walks down to him and puts one foot on his face. "I know what you are thinking, how is it possible that he knows how to use the same attack that Lina used against me? ´ well the answer is simple my friend, all that Lina learnt was just the basic, I am the only one who perfects this attack because I am the one who created this attack, I didn't a hundred percent of this attack against you because I'm not going to waist my power on a weakling like you. And I am sure you are thinking why I'm letting you live? Because you are a very arrogant and foolish your man who doesn't have much time to live because of the punishment I unleashed on you, and for that you are going to suffer a slow and painful death!" after saying that The master left Valgav to his doom.
Raltac lower his head. "Very well done my lord." And return him his cape.
"For what we know Lina and her friends are still out there. Send our people to find them!" The Master ordered as he puts on his cape and enters the helicopter. "I must admit that the power I gain from the fight between Lina and Valgarv was very impressive, I even surprised my self, still it is not enough. Beware Lina Inverse, so far you've been fighting worthless weaklings but from now on you will fight more powerful foes.
------
Sylphiel, Nehsziriah and Amy are still on the road going to the village of Sinta, they've made a stop on a motel where they spend the night but all three of them very exhausted from the long hours they've sped on the road.
"Oh man…." Nehsziriah moaned. "How long is it? I'm so tire, we've been in the road almost all day!"
"Relax, it is just two more hours to go!" Sylphiel assured. "You could do like Amy here on the back, you could try to get some sleep."
"I better not, or else you might end up sleeping your self and I don't want that and…..LOOK OUT!!!!" Nehsziriah screamed and Sylphiel stopped the car.
Sylpiedl looked at the road in front of her to see that it is all destroyed. "What……what happen? Since when is this road all wrecked?"
"Well maybe, but at least we can pass but we better do it carefully."
Suddenly Sylphiel notices someone on the ground. "There's somebody out there!"
Nehsziriah looks out the window and she sees the man on the ground all wounded and hurt, it is Valgarv. "Yeah, the guy seems dead!"
In that moment Sylphiel gets out of the car to go to Valgarv.
"Syl, what are you doing?" Nehsziriah screamed.
"The guy needs help!" Sylphiel said as she lands on her knees next to Valgarv and gently holds his head and she recognises him. "It's the guy who came against me on that day!"
Nehsziriah gets out of the car and walks carefully to Sylphiel. "Syl, I don't think that we should be out here, who knows who might be out there on the road. And besides the guy seems like bad news to me."
"Still he need help, if we don't help him he might die, we must take him with us so that I can take care of his wounds."
"But Syl…."
"Please Nez, this is a matter of life or death here."
Nehsziriah looks at the wounded man and it is true, he seems very bad and she doesn't want to sound that cruel, she's not like that. "Alright, let's take him to your house as quickly as possible. But I have to tell ya Syl, I have a bad feeling about our passenger."
Nothing more was said as Sylphiel and Nehsziriah carry Valgarv to the car unknown to them who this man is.
To be continued……
Maliska: Valgarv saved by Nehsziriah and Sylphiel, what will happen to them?
Ramon: about The Dragon Eye, we took the idea from that Slayers episode when the Slayers fought Garv for the first time and Garv made an attack that was a giant sphere. We don't know what the name of that spell is so we name it.
Sunny: read and review please.
