Chapter 8
------
Lina and Gourry remain themselves in their position, waiting for Air Jay to make a move, they don't to risk going to Air Jay and he catches them by surprise.
"What do you mean like that?" asked Gourry. "What happen to your past adversaries?"
"It doesn't matter Gourry!" said Lina. "All we have to do now in the moment is to beat this creep."
"Keep on with your illusion all you want, baby. In the en you're the one who is going to fall!" said Air Jay with a smirk. "Man, I love being the bad guy!"
"By the contrary, you are the one who is going to be gone!" said Lina preparing a spell.
"Well said Lina!" said Gourry, putting himself in a fighting position and marching against Air Jay.
"What a dork." And Air Jay dodges Gourry's sword attack and punches him right on the midsection.
"MEGA BRAND!" Shouted Lina as she launched the spell right at Air Jay.
But Air Jay jumped to the air and escapes Lina's attack, then he does a few slips in the air and flies directly at Lina.
"Let her go!" shouted Gourry as he jumps to the air and kicks Air Jay right on the face.
Lina takes that chance fly to the air and throws a few punches at Air Jay then prepares a spell. "ELMIKIA LANCE!" and shoots the spell right at Air Jay's face, making him crush against the wall of a building.
Lina and Gourry remain themselves in position in case Air Jay gets up but it has been a few seconds and he hasn't move an inch. It seems that Air Jay is finally defeated.
Lina and Gourry land on their knees after being sure that Air Jay is beat for good.
"Man I never thought that I would ever see a bandit that could be so resistant." Said Gourry. "It's a good thing that we defeated him for good."
"For a moment here I thought we would never beat him." said Lina, passing her arm in her sweaty forehead. "Let's go find him so we can get the reward on his head."
In that exact moment Air Jay emerges from his brick grave, ready o restart the fight.
"I can not believe it!" cried Gourry when he saw that Air Jay is alive and well.
"DAMN IT! Won't this ever end? I'm getting tire of this!" shouted Lina in frustration.
Air Jay was enjoying their reactions "You see why I am the Portuguese terminator? No one can beat me. Finally my time has come, I am going to be known as the Enemy of all living things!"
"You are such a dork!" mocked Lina.
"What?"
"With Gourry and me fighting you it is only a matter of time until we can trash you down for good. We proved that when we started to fight against you. It won't be a bandit like you that will defeat us!"
Air Jay did not say a thing, he remains in a deadly silence and glaring against his foes then he starts to growl like a wild beast. "I AM NOT A BANDIT!" Yelled Air Jay as he flies against his opponents and punches each one of them to the air, then he presses his fists to the ground and a big explosion appears from the ground, hitting Lina and Gourry really hard, and before they could crash against the ground Air Jay grabs them by their feet and throws them against a wall.
CRASH.
"I am not a bandit, I am an outlaw. I am the king of all outlaws. You call me a bandit again and I'll kill you!" threatened Air Jay but then he laughs "Ops I forgot, you people are going to die."
Slowly Lina and Gourry starts to get up.
"He's too strong and very resistant. No wonder why many people have a difficult time to face him." Said Lina. "But no way will he defeat us! Ready Gourry?"
"Ready!"
"Let's go! FREEZE ARROW!" Lina throws a frozen arrow at Air Jay who blocks the attack with his arm which frizzes his arm.
"What the….."
Gourry lets out a battle cry and runs directly at Air Jay, ready to slash him in haft.
But Air Jay grabs Gourry by the neck and bashes him in the head with his frozen arm. Making his head a bloody mess.
"LET HIM GO!" Cried Lina as she grabs Air Jay by the head and throws and electrical spell on his head. It wasn't strong enough to take Air jay down but it was strong enough to make Air Jay release Gourry.
Lina did not want Air Jay to take his time to recuperate so she decides to throw a big kick on his face, but Air Jay did not move a hitch.
So Lina immediately lands to the ground and punches Air Jay on the stomach, which had the same effect as the kick. Immediately Lina backs away and throws at him another spell "BURST RONDO!" The spell created a big explosion but Air Jay emerges from the explosion and grabs Lina by the arms and starts to twist them. "AAAARGH!" cried Lina with the pain, she can not concentrate to create a spell because of the pain.
"LINA!" cried Gourry as he immediately gets up, ignoring all the pain, and strikes Air Jay right on the face. The cut went deeply on his face but Air Jay did not even cried.
"Lina, your alright?" asked Gourry after he grabbed her when she was about to fall.
"I…I'm alright…." Lina managed to say. "my arms hurt a little, but that's it. Did you got him?"
"Yes, I slash him good on the face, there is no way he can be alive now!"
"Are you sure?" asked Air Jay with an arrogant smirk.
"WHAT?" shirked Gourry. He just could not believe what is just happening right in front of him, Air Jay is alive and well. Gourry is very certain that he made a deep cut on Air Jay's face, deep enough to kill him, but there he is alive and well like if he was never wounded, this is surreal. "This can't be…...How…...how…..."
"What kind of a creature are you?" asked Lina with some frustration in her voice.
"I am a human like you people but with an impressive difference. A difference that I will not tell you!" responded Air Jay, still toying with his opponents.
"Damn it, what are going to do? We are too wounded and I don't believe that Air Jay will let us cast a healing spell" Thought Lina.
Air Jay starts to crack his knuckles and with flames already forming in his fists "Even if this is a very amusing I must end this. I have a person that I was hire to kill and I can't be late."
"DIE YOU DAMN MONSTER!" yelled a person that jumped from the top of a building and makes a strike on Air Jay right on the chest with is knife. It's Ashford.
"Ashford?" asked Lina, surprised to see that he's already recuperated. "What are you doing here?"
"I came for revenge! This accursed monster destroyed my only memory of my family that I had left. I gave him the punishment he deserves."
"Are you sure?" taunted Air Jay.
"WHAT! You're still alive?" Ashford strikes Air Jay a few more times but it doesn't affect him one bit. It is like if Ashford is hitting a steel. "It can not be."
"But it can, old man. You insignificant knife can not even penetrate the skin of an invincible man like me."
"That is not possible! I used this attack many times to strike enormous sea dragons, I refuse to accept this!"
"Oh shut up!" and Air Jay starts to punch Ashford very violently, and then throws a kick on him, making him crash against a wall. "Man I love being so mean." Said Air Jay as he grabs Ashford by the neck and lifts him up. "Now I'm going to kill you!"
-----
The towns people could not be more happier, with Ashford in Air Jay's clutches maybe he will spare them all.
-----
Air Jay was going for the kill when Gourry kicked Air Jay on the hips, making him unleash Ashford.
Gourry immediately grabbed Ashfird and reunited with Lina. Air Jay was about to grab Gourry when Lina interfered "BLAM BLAZER!"
The blue blast hits Air Jay, making him back off a little.
"How is he?" asked Lina.
"Beat up badly but he'll make it." Responded Gourry, hiding Ashford on an alley and then walking back to Lina. "Lina, what are we going to do? How are we going to beat him now, it's like he's insensitive to pain. I cut him with my sword, I know I did, I could feel my blade trespassing the skin of his face, still he remains alive with out a single scar."
Lina did not respond him for a moment, but then she had an idea. "I'll use my Ragna Blade, but I'll need a few second to summon it and I don't think that Air Jay will give me time to make it."
"I'll distract him for a moment!" said Gourry.
Lina turns to Gourry with a concern look. "Be careful, he's very brutal and tricky."
"So are you two still dating?" Taunted Air Jay.
"WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!" shouted Lina and Gourry in embarrassment.
Gourry picks up his sword and charges against Air Jay.
Air Jay puts himself in a fighting position. "Alright, I kill ya first."
Just when Air Jay was going to throw a punch, Gourry jumps to the air.
"Huh? What's up with that?" Air Jay then looks back at Lina and sees that she is focusing on a spell. "What is she doing?"
"Power that can smash even the souls of the gods. RAGNA BLADE!" and the enormous dark sword emerges from Lina's hands.
For the very first time since the beginning of the fight Air Jay is amazed. "The Ragna Blade? I've heard of that spell, that comes from the power of the Lord of Nightmares herself, but since there was no one who could use that spell I thought that it was just tales."
Lina slowly starts to walk to Air Jay with the Ragna Blade on her hands. "Now this is going to end now. Goodbye!" and Lina jumps to the air and makes a sword move against Air Jay.
"Oh no you won't!" shouted Air Jay and throws a fireball at Lina's sword. But in the exact moment that Air Jay's fireball hits the dark blade it was cut in haft like if it was butter. "WHAT!"
"DIE AIR JAY, DIE!"
Air Jay doesn't have the chance to escape and sees the Ragna Blade coming his way to cut his to pieces. "NOOO!"
To be continued……
