Still in Jade's POV, but hey, new chapter! Hope you guys enjoy it!
"Right you are, my boy" a man said in the shadows "You see the only reason I had the party was to steal the souls of the many people who came"
"Soul Stealer Darin" Raven asked "So the only reason for this party was for all the souls, wasn't it?"
"Right you are again" Darin said "The souls are for this here ring"
He raised his hand and revealed a white ring with a cross on it.
"After extensive studies, I have figured out that this ring can let me be young man for years. This is powered by human souls, and the amount of people that showed up at this "party" is more than enough to last this for centuries" he explained "But why am I giving this valuable information to you? I might as well take your souls right now"
He raised his hand again, and this time clenched his fist, but it wasn't working.
"What?" Darin said in confusion "Why is this not working?"
He looked over at Raven and his necklace was glowing. It must be preventing the ring from taking our souls!
"It seems like this ring won't work on you two, but I know what will" he said while smiling evilly. He stuck his hand out and a white sword appeared. He took it and pointed it towards us.
"Now is the day you will die!" he exclaimed
"Not on my watch" Raven said as he took out his knife, and carefully aimed it. Raven then threw the knife towards Darin, but something with wings came and blocked the knife. It was white armor with wings with a slight dark aura around it. Darin manically laughed and several of those things started to appear around us. I forgot my bow at the hotel, and Raven's scythe was now gone thanks to what happened at Dracula's cave. We were defenseless. Darin pointed his sword toward us and the large group of demonic angel armor came, flying at us with lances at the ready. We ducked, jumped, and dodged out of the way to try and not get impaled. Darin than noticed Raven's skill and pointed the white sword towards Raven. All the demonic angel armor came flying towards him. He tried to dodge all of them, but one managed to pierce Raven right through the stomach. The things floated backwards for Darin to see the blood dripping from the stab. I looked where Raven was with a worried look, but he was still standing, with a lance through him.
"It's gonna take more than that to kill me" Raven said as he pulled out the lance and threw it to the ground, and held onto where the wound was.
"So the legends were true. The Son of Death does exist" Darin said with a concerned tone, but then changed "But you will die from this sword. This sword is a holy sword that kills anything in its path who has sinned and you have committed several. This manor shall be your grave!"
Darin walked over to Raven and tried to cut him with the sword, but Raven was skillfully dodging the attacks. Charles then noticed me and suddenly I was restricted by a couple of the demonic angel armor, one was also holding a lance straight at my throat. I was very scared. I looked over at Raven with a slightly worried face.
"Now if you want the girl, stay where you are standing and do nothing" Darin said
Raven understood and just stood there with his hand covering his wound.
"Good" he then said a few words and Raven all of a sudden couldn't move and was flung onto the ground, not being able to get up
"W-what the hell?" he said while trying to bear the small pain he was feeling from the stinging of the wound and the amount of force being pushed onto him
"You can't move, so now" Darin snapped his fingers and all of the demonic angel armor turned towards him, and he said "Get him"
All of them went straight towards Raven and pierced him everywhere. Darin then whistled, which made all the things fly away from Raven, and then he walked over to Raven, and cut Raven from the shoulder to his torso. Blood started to flow all over the floor as he was in agonizing pain, and then… He dropped. Raven's body on the ground unmoving, pooled in his own blood. After witnessing Raven's death, I started to cry, cry because I just lost the reason my life became so interesting. Darin then came over to me and said "You, girl, will share the same fate"
He pointed his white sword at me and was coming closer. Once he was about a foot away from me, he tried to stab me, until a black sword came from nowhere and pierced right through Darin's white sword, and stuck to the wall. Both swords dissipated into nothing, and Darin and I looked at where Raven was to see him still alive. I was so happy to see that Raven was still alive, that I was actually now crying tears of joy. He had a glowing black aura around him, and his right arm was glowing black also. His tuxedo was repaired from all the damage, and had new symbols on them now. The symbols mostly comprised with an insignia of the Grim Reaper, surprising Darin.
POV Change: Raven Scarlet
"How are you still alive?!" Darin yelled "The white sword made from this ring is supposed to kill anyone who has sinned!"
"To think you would stoop so low that you would kill anyone just to try to gain immortality" I said while trying to keep alive "I will have to take that ring from you, even if it means I'm going to have to cut your own arm off"
"How so? With the injuries you have now, you only have mere seconds to stay alive" Darin replied with an evil smile
"I'm not a mere demigod like all the others you have killed" I said as a black sword formed in my right hand "I'm someone beyond the controls of the gods. Now I will be taking that ring from you"
"You'll have to get to me first, boy" Darin said as he smiled evilly and made another white sword and pointed it straight at me. All the things around him went straight for me in large groups. I closed my eyes and I could see that Jade was in a state of shock to see my eyes turn from scarlet and blood-red to a color of pure crimson eyes. I slowly walked to Darin, while a barrage of those things went straight to me. I threw the black sword up into the air and grabbed the tips of the two lances coming at me. I then threw one to the wall, and threw the other one to one of the others coming after me. I made two knives appear in my hands, jumped into the air, and stabbed two quickly in the head, then jumped off the armor and a black spear appeared in my hands, which went through a few of the armor creeps. The black sword came down; I caught it, and then threw it at the armor trying to slay me from behind.
"Do you really think you can kill me with a weak army like that?" I scoffed
"Why should I be afraid of a mere demigod like you?" Darin questioned "You just have skill not any power at all!"
"I'll show you why" I said. A black aura formed around my right arm and a black scythe appeared in my hand. The edge of the scythe started to glow black, and I swung it, making a black air wave that BARELY missed Darin and cutting right through the manor. I looked over at Charles and saw he had wide eyes, and his jaw dropped.
"Now give up the ring, or I will kill you" I threatened
"You'll have to take it from me by force if you want this ring!" Darin yelled out while several pieces of the angel armor around the room formed into a bigger, stronger, and more armed demonic angel armor
"Heh, bad answer" I said while several black weapons appeared around me and I raised both my hands and two swords floated into them.
"Come and get me" I taunted
"You will die!" Darin yelled
The giant demon armor charged at me and tried to stab me numerous times with its big sword, while I just ended up flash-stepping from one place to another.
"Too slow" I scoffed as I was one place than another and another to dodge the sword strikes. After a few minutes of it swinging and missing me numerous times, it stopped, and raised the sword into the air, breaking the ceiling in the progress, and the sword started to glow white on the blade. The demon armor brought down the sword, and there was a lot of smoke, and now I was standing on the sword. I thrust the one of my black swords right through the sword, and ran near the handle, jumped up, and threw the other one and it pierced through that part of the sword also. The black swords exploded and the demon armor's sword was broken to pieces. I then made several knives appear in around me, and ran up the demon armors leg, while throwing the knives into its legs. I jumped off the demon armor once I made it to its waist, and the black knives exploded causing the armor to lose its legs.
"Now for the main event" I said while black particles were materializing into weapons behind me, and also some black angel wings were forming on my back. I jumped up into the air and moved my hands and arms into the direction of the demon armor, sending all the weapons behind me flying towards it. All the weapons pierced the armor in several places, and finally when all the weapons were gone, a blazing black aura formed around me, and a black hole was forming around my right arms. I raised my right arm and the black hole moved next to my hand, and a black and red scythe came out of it. I gripped the scythe and lifted it up on my shoulder.
"This is why you don't mess with me" I said while the scythe's edge was glowing blood red. I swung the scythe at the demon armor at an extremely quick speed, and I stopped.
"H-huh? That's it?! You are such a weakling! The armor wasn't even scathed fro-" Darin was interrupted when there was a slight explosion. The demon armor was busted into pieces, in just in a matter of a few minutes. I then started to walk slowly toward Darin with a black scythe in hand.
"N-no! S-stay away you demon!" Darin yelled as he backed away
"I may be a demon, but you're a monster who takes the souls of people to gain immortality. You're the bigger monstrosity here" I replied as knives appeared around me and went towards Darin, sticking him to the wall.
"Hades will be angry, if one of his trusted servants dies!" Darin yelled out
"I don't give a crap about how my father feels. He left me to rot on the streets" I replied darkly. Once I made it to him I said "Say hi to Hades for me in hell" I then raised my scythe and cut his head off. Once I did, blood began squirting out of the headless body. The knives holding him to the wall disappeared, only leaving a headless body pooled in blood. I kneeled down and slid the ring off the body's finger then slipped it on to one of my fingers on my left hand. There was a slight bright light and some words were shown:
This ring used to belong to your mother, who was a very religious person, but she was also very beautiful. Your father, Hades, fell in love with her, and after due time, but soon abandoned her 5 years after you were born. Raven Scarlet. Hope that you can make your father accept for what he has done or the world, as we know it, is doomed.
After that the message disappeared and the light was gone.
"I wonder when that will happen" I thought to myself "No use, if it happens, it happens"
I then felt a sudden pain, and just remembered that I was still wounded.
