Chapter 19: Showdown, Part 2
"He's not bluffing, Raziel," Kain said.
"I know, but I can feel the Divine Reaver's pull towards him, its desire to kill him amplifies even my own, I . . . understand if you want to return to the castle," Raziel said.
"Not a chance, my friend," Kain said, smiling. The smile of a man who was fighting the hardest battle of his life in his own head. But Kain won the battle against himself, and stepped beside Raziel, and drew on his power to create another blade.
Carnathor watched, amused. "You are a fool Kain, leave now, this doesn't concern you."
"It concerns all of Nosgoth, however, we are the only ones capable of exterminating this problem," Raziel said.
"So, I have a couple of warriors eager for death, well, I mustn't disappoint them," Carnathor said. He bent low, and stretched and roared. He leapt into the air.
Raziel and Kain followed, they met in the air, dodging swings and blasts as Carnathor pulled away from them. How he flew, they did not know, but Kain was managing as well.
They halted, and Carnathor's hands opened, electricity surged between the claws as a small light grew in the palm, he opened his mouth as well. He shot a storm of spiked electricity at them, they were hit several times.
Raziel, in return fired a projectile, but Carnathor caught it in his claw. But something happened that he didn't expect. Pain like no other shot through him, the source was the gash on his chest, impossible. The mark left him with incredible pain at the touch of something caused by the Reaver.
Raziel smiled behind his cowl. "So, the Divine Reaver has the same effect on you."
"Don't think that it will win you this battle," Carnathor said.
"I know not to count on a weapon," Raziel said. He gripped the handle tighter, and the Reaver reacted. It glowed brighter, and the swarm of power around it began vibrating quickly. The gems in the middle glowed as well.
Suddenly, Raziel knew what to do. He raised the Reaver up high, and it glowed even brighter. He pointed it at Carnathor and shot a storm of his own projectiles at him, and as Carnathor blocked the shots, Raziel finished his attack.
The gems glowed blinding bright, and then the hilt folded in, and the blade extended. "Feel the fury of the earth and myself!!!" Raziel yelled. Her slashed down, the Reaver sensed what he was aiming at, and grew to the proper length.
Carnathor was astonished that that little weakling had somehow pulled together enough power to use even that small fraction of the Reavers abilities.
He raised his hands to block it, but the right hand was cut off easily, and the slash struck him in his scar. Carnathor let out a roar that had not been heard by any ears for thousands of years. He fell to the earth.
Raziel and landed on Carnathor, Raziel drew up his blade. Just then, Carnathor grabbed each of them, and slammed them into the ground several times, then stomped on them both. Then Carnathor blasted, sliced and shot gas into the craters where Raziel and Kain lie.
Raziel got to one knee, this was a struggle, but the situation became worse when he looked to see Kain could no longer fight. He couldn't even pull himself to his feet. Raziel was on his own. This deepened his rage. Yet, in the back of his mind, he laughed at himself, becoming even more enraged about the pain of the one that made his humiliation start.
Raziel blasted into the air. But yet again was swatted down like a fly.
"Give it up, blue one, your ten steps out of your league," Carnathor said.
"I don't know the meaning of the words," Raziel whispered. He then stood, but instead of attacking, he lifted the sword above his head, and he said, "All the power of the earth is in this very blade, and the extraordinary ability to control it all, just watch."
The earth rose up and surrounded Carnathor, then several boulders simply hurled themselves at him. He was smashed several times, while the earth surrounding him got tighter and tighter, he struggled, but stopped, it was over. He was foolish to get overconfident.
The hilt folded in and Raziel leapt into the air. He flew high, then tucked in his wings and started spinning. He hurtled down to the earth, and shot right through the slash on Carnathor's chest. It ended there.
Raziel landed, and looked to see the darkness pulling back from the Pillars of Nosgoth. He began to walk to them.
