Destiny's Magic
ch 18
On a mountain ledge, not too far, Taea and Oni were watching what was starting to unfold before them. "It looks like Dark Lighter has already made his move." Oni said in amusement with a smirk.
"How do you know that's his creation, and not just some regular demon that crossed over?" Taea asked in curiosity.
"For a demon slayer, you don't know much about demons." Oni replied with a scoff.
"Be careful who you're insulting Oni." Taea warned with a angry growl.
Oni's eyes flashed angrily as he suddenly faced him, "you remember who you're talking to," looks at him in disgust. "Child. You maybe a slayer, and you may have your uncle's powers, but you're no match, you don't even come close. So don't even think about trying to get the best of me." Turns his attention back to what was going on below.
Taea growled angrily as he was finding two parchments and two talismans. 'So don't even think about trying to get the best of me, he says. I'll show him, no one talks to me like that.' Taea found what magical entities he was looking for and got them ready.
"Watch it!" Ryo warned while the fire demon swiped at them. Everyone scattered into different directions. The fire demon roared angrily, and then decided to try again. Just as it was about to, the fire demon saw its intentional targets. Ryo looked over to where the fire demon has its attention. "Kento, Kaye!" The two Rei Fauns quickly turned around and saw that the fire demon was blocking them off from the others.
"No! Super wave smasher!" Cye called out, firing on the beast. Cye's attack hit its mark, but it didn't phase the demon one bit. Cye lowered his trident in shock.
"I don't believe it, Cye's attack should have worked!" Sage said in astonishment. "Cye, try again!" Cye nodded and took aim as he tried a second time to fire his attack at the fire demon. Again, it did no good. "This can't be, no way."
"If Cye's attack couldn't even phase him, then what will?" Ryo wondered with a concerned frown.
"Ryo, what about the Inferno?" Rowen suggested looking over towards him.
"I don't know Rowen..." Ryo started to say with a very deep frown.
"Ryo, if we don't do something quick, Kento and Kaye are going to be pretty much fried." Rowen replied frowning at him. Ryo was still very hesitant, but he didn't see any other option at the time. He sighed and then gave a small nod. The other four armors glowed as Ryo concentrated on calling the Inferno armor.
'Wait for it, that's it, just a little bit longer.' Taea grinned evilly while motioning towards the two entities that he already called out. A girl, looking downward with a mirror on her chest, and another girl with wings were waiting for the perfect opportunity. The time that they were waiting for was now, for Ryo was standing ready, dawned in the Inferno armor.
"Kento, Kaye, take cover!" Ryo called out to them. The two Rei Fauns ran to a nearby boulder that was to the side and braced themselves for Ryo's attack. "Rage of Inferno!" The intertwining of the red and yellow flames, twisted into a firery tornado, and engulfed the fire demon. Ryo stood there, breathing slightly labored, eyes completely focused on his target.
"Did it work?" Cye asked in a curious tone. At exactly the same time when Ryo was transformed into the Inferno and then when he called upon his attack, the two entities glowed. Taea gave an evil grin, he knew that his plan was working without a hitch. The two entities, stopped glowing as soon as Ryo delivered his attack. Then the two entities disappeared as well as Taea and Oni.
"Wha. Kento, Kaye, stay where you are!" Ryo called out urgently.
"Ryo?" Rowen asked looking at him with a confused frown.
"I didn't destroy it, the demon's still here." Ryo replied as his gaze never left his target.
"What!? But that's impossible! It should have worked! Nothing can with stand the fire power of the Inferno armor!" Sage exclaimed in disbelief. Ryo went immediately into defensive position. The other three quickly did the same exactly at the same time as Ryo's attack vanished, and the fire demon stood right where it did, not even phased. It roared in triumph while looking for its prey.
"No, this can't be happening." Kaye said, "why didn't it work?"
Kento frowned deeply, "I don't know, but I'm not going to stand by the side lines and watch them get fried by some stupid fire demon!"
"I know, neither do I, but what can we..." Kaye replied with a frown and then she suddenly got an idea. "Kento, where's the spell book? There might be something in there that'll help them."
"I didn't see where it went when we hit the water." Kento said with a slight frown.
"It had to have landed somewhere close by, right." Kaye suggested while scanning the area. "Kento look, over there!"
Kento groaned a little in annoyance, "great, but one problem, we have that thing in our way. How are we going to get to it without getting barbequed?"
"We need a distraction or something, we're only going to get one shot to get that spell book." Kaye replied looking at him with determined eyes. Kento nodded and then looked over to the others.
'Hey, Cye.' Kento called out to him telepathically.
'Kento? What is it? In case you haven't notice, we're a little busy at the moment.' Cye replied with a slight frown.
'I can see that, listen, Kaye and I are going to try and go for the spell book, but we're going to need a distraction. Do you guys think you can pull one off for us?' Kento asked hopefully.
'We can try, good luck, and be careful.' Cye replied.
"Kento, what did he say?" Kaye asked looking at him. "Will they be able to do it?"
"Yeah, they're going to try, be ready to run." Kento replied with a nod. They looked over towards the others, waiting for the signal.
"Hey guys, Kento and Kaye are going to need a distraction." Cye told them with a slight frown while glancing around at them.
"Did he say why?" Sage asked in a confused frown.
"Yeah, they're going to go for the spell book that's on the other side of the fire demon." Cye replied with a slight nod.
"Do you think that's a good idea? I mean, the Inferno didn't even phase the thing, and they want to try something from that book?" Ryo asked in a concerned tone.
"It's the only option that we have, Ryo." Rowen replied with a frown, glancing at him.
Ryo glared at the fire demon, and his own fire lit up in his eyes. "Alright then, let's do it!' Ryo and the others automatically went into defensive positions and then each of them delivered their sure kills exactly at once, hoping that'll buy them enough time.
The fire demon roared extremely loud as it raised its head in anger. "Looks like that's it, let's go!" Kento said as the two of them took their chance and headed for the spell book.
Ryo glanced at them from the corner of his eye. "Keep it up! They're almost to the book!" The fire demon heard the sound of kicking sand while Kento and Kaye were running behind it. The fire demon turned its head just as they were a couple of feet from the book.
Cye's eyes went wide in concern." Kento, Kaye, watch it!"
"Wha...Dive!" Kento warned while taking Kaye's hand and dove to the side before getting hit with the fire demon's attack.
The guys were about to run over to them, but the fire demon stayed in their way. "Kento, Kaye, are you two alright?!" Rowen called out to them.
Kento raised his head and looked over towards them, "yeah, we're ok!"
Kaye looked over towards the book and groaned in defeat. "No..."
