Chapter 18: Showdown, Part 1
"I assure you, this fight will be considerably interesting," Raziel said. The confidence in his voice was incredible. He drew the Divine Reaver. Carnathor went wide-eyed for a moment, and stepped back, but he began laughing.
"The Revival weapon, the weapon wielded by the creator, while I cant conceive how a worthless thing like you gained such a weapon, I can sense you don't possess enough power to use it properly," Carnathor said confidently.
"Your bluff is all too obvious, demon, you have fallen by this blade before, and you will fall again, and never rise," Raziel challenged.
"I will prove you are not worthy, Spirit!! You can kill them, I see no real reason to waist my time," Carnathor said.
"It would be my pleasure," Spirit had already transformed into the beast he had become the last time he and Raziel had met. He put his hands on the ground at the boundaries of the shadow, and took in more darkness, he grew larger. Energy pulsed through his body. He yelled, the sound became increasingly monstrous with each passing second.
When he removed his hands from the ground, and turned to them. "Which of you will perish first?" Spirit asked.
Kain readied himself, and put his hands together as if he were grasping a sword, his arms surged with blue lightning, and it flowed down his arms, wrists, then his hands, and then into the air. It formed a sword in his hands, it resembled the Soul Reaver, his weapon of choice. Raziel drew the true Reaver, and they ran at Spirit, who became mist, and sank into the ground.
"Coward, come up and face us," Kain yelled. The only response they received was laughing.
"Raziel," Kain whispered, "watch the ground, it is his body, where he flows, he will rise up, and we can attack."
They separated their vision, to their great mistake. Each one saw the mist move in different direction, and chased after it. Two Spirits rose from the mist, and ran in on the foes. They were going to crush them.
As an instinct of panic, Raziel thrust the sword into Spirit's hand. It cut through easy. Light erupted from the wound and enclosed around Spirit. Once it covered his whole body, it cut through him. He became mist and joined the other Spirit, who jumped back, and cried out in pain.
"Now see the power given too me," Raziel said.
Spirit stepped back again, staggering, it appeared Raziel did not see how much damage the blade had done. Oh, he had nearly cut his strength in half.
"You have not beaten me yet," Spirit said.
"But I have, I can see it, the fear in your lifeless eyes, it would take something great to let emotion show in eyes like yours or mine," Raziel said. Yes, Spirit's eyes showed fear, and Raziel's showed rage, and satisfaction.
Spirit shrank into his normal form, and began running in wide circles around them. "You need to stop assuming so much, blue one."
Kain drew his sword, and ran out to meet Spirit, he swung his sword hard. Spirit raised his claws to block, unaware of the consequences. When the sword met the claw, the electricity swarmed onto Spirit, and he was thrown back. As he was getting up, Kain fed more energy, and the sword became a throwing spear. He launched it at Spirit, who rolled out of the way just in time.
He stood, and ran at Kain, who had caused him annoyance since he had been given the powers of any greater Demon. Kain could not gather much energy, so Spirit was not harmed in this blur of blades.
Neither caught the other off guard, much to their separate dislikes. That is, until Raziel joined the fight again. The separate blades slashed all around Spirit.
Raziel and Kain jumped back and threw several of their own projectiles at Spirit, hitting him everywhere. The evil being fell to his knees, and sunk his head down. Raziel and Kain leapt into the air, and turned their blades downward, and they struck Spirit in unison. The energy was too much for his body, and it was destroyed in an explosion of electric light.
"You are all that's left, and you will be the last," Raziel said.
"I will not, I promise you that, you will never be strong enough to strike me down, I killed the creator, I shall have no problem killing you as well," Carnathor said. He stood up straight, to let Raziel see what he was up against.
He was massive, similar to the form Spirit used to transform into, but the arms ended in three fingered pincers, and he had spaces on his shoulders, they appeared to have gas contained in them, and his elbows seemed to grow out, as swords came from his elbows. Raziel realized that he had characteristics of every Demon type, or rather, they had characteristics of him. His head was like that of a Black Demon, but with bigger eyes, they showed uncountable years of intelligence.
But the most noticeable, was the large, deep gash down his torso, a light came from it, and it pulsed increasingly quicker every time the Reaver came nearer. Obviously, that was the final wound the creator of the Pillars caused that forced Carnathor to flee to the other dimension.
"He's not bluffing, Raziel," Kain said.
Author's Note: Sorry about the wait, thanks a lot for the reviews if got, there were more than I expected. But please don't stop!!! Tell me what you think.
