Chapter 44

The offer…

(Tehgs pov)

I drop down at the camp and take solar to a doctor quickly before dezz taps my shoulder…

"What you want Dezz" he passes me a note and I unfold it

[to the weakling TEHG….it is I the echo…if you are reading this note then I extend a challenge to you, fight me 1v1 in your excuse they call a shrine to the first DGU…if you win il withdraw my army and we will never be seen again, I win…well you will be dead by then if you choose to accept of course] I crumple the note flying strait towards the shrine…unlucky for him I am a lot stronger in that area…

(The echoes pov)

"So he accepted…hah the pride fuelled boy will learn his place in this world" I teleport to the decided place and shrink to human size, moments later o'brian crashes through the roof in a rage filled way… "Echo….I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU" he screams charging at me 'if only he realised I'm not the real threat here….'

"Wait not even a simple hello or how's your day been echo…geez people these days, did your parents not teach you manners?"

(Tehgs pov) (play- lost in thoughts all alone- leeandlie ver)

" KILLLLLLLLL"I make my sword appear and charge towards him as he summons a great sword blocking me " you don't stand a chance with your rage filled pride…here's a tip try calming down and you may land a clean hit on me" as he finishes his sentence I laugh "why should I believe you the enemy…"

"Yes I may want to destroy this world and you with it brat…but I have a reason for doing so…I may indulge you if you manage to beat me" he cracks his neck kicking me in the gut

"GUAH" I scream and stumble back "HONOURS EDGE" I thrust forward only to be deflected "GAH" he sighs

"Yes you are no doubt stronger than when we first met…but you are yet to perfect that power…that is why you can't win" 'damnit….he's right….I only had a perfect hysteria once when my….oh heh heh heh' I stand up and I tap into the lake of power left in me "ACESS FULL HYSTERIA" the pillar of Ice erupts around me and when it shatters my left eye turns ice blue…. "Echo…I have had it with your shit either retreat now or die!" He desires to scoff at my statement "oh you think you can defeat me now eh?...let's see how long it will take to break you…physically mentally and spiritually" I hold a hand out

"ICY DEMISE" ice spears rain from out of nowhere hitting over and over while I charge forward 'let's hope this works' "BLINKING EDGE" I teleport a short distance forward thrusting my rapier through him launching him then I teleport two more times to finish the set of three up, he gets up from where I launched him and asks "how did you do that?"

"Well after I saw Bryce use blink in his dimension…I got to thinking if I could adapt my speed into something like that…it took a lot of me teleporting into walls but I can use this move perfectly as well as teleport short distances…and being a descendant of a god kinda helps with it to..thinking on it it isn't per say teleporting….just moving so fast it feels like it" he nods getting into a stance "seems like I'd have to keep an eye out for that".

(End song)

(Play- asterisk war op 1 – brand new world)

"It's time…." I say strangely as we go into another dance of sword against sword, he swings for my head but I duck and thrust for his legs as he jumps and thrusts his sword down towards me, I block and flip back staring at him 'I could try that' I copy a skill from a game

"ASTRA" I charge forward and slash 5 times then flip into the air "BLINKING EDGE" I teleport at him and do the routine teleport and stab three times over then chain my first EXE "NVIDIA" I charge forward and strike twenty times with him blocking the last one, I sigh and hold my sword you would rapier "this sword of my show thy true power and deliver this foe….FINAL EXE: JUDGEMENT" I thrust forward with an immense amount of power and impale him creating a dust cloud with an explosion, I flip back waiting to see if I have won or not…

When the dust settles he's knelt on the ground looking severely injured "hah….who know you that much power pent up….I lied about withdrawing my army's….but I will tell you why I'm here…well some of it" he sits himself down so I sit in response unsure of if he's trying to trick me or not, "pretty much there is a person of immeasurable power here who even scares me…so I am trying to cause Raganarok to destroy this world and that person along with it…but you and your friends stopped me from doing so when I first made an appearance in lowee…so now it has been prolonged…but no matter I shall destroy you and that person as I am THE ECHO OF LUCIFER" I chuckle

"I get it echo you're a big bad guy….just asking…you never planned on leaving did you?"

"No…I felt that if you somehow beat me…as unlikely as it is…you should know that someone is even stronger than me…I mean he could beat me without even trying" I gasp slightly

"Someone stronger than you…heh…looks like I have a new target of power to overcome" i clenched my fist in excitement, "of course you would get excited over that you brat" he sighs standing up "well kid for now I shall let you and your runt of a group you call hunters train…than I shall attack with no mercy" he smirks teleporting away…

(Raider pov)

I thrust my sword forward as the echo teleports back "welcome back devil" I say focusing on training "ah raider just the person I needed….good news your going back to your dimension…"

"Wait…WHAT!?"

"I've decided you are not needed here…however I feel you are required back in your dimension…staying here will send you down the path you was not destined to take" he says strangely "wait…since when do you care if I kill that DGU and his runt sister?"

"Since I got a DIRECT ORDER FROM LUCIFER HIMSELF" I pale when he says that nodding

"Fine…fine il go back" the echo then sighs

"I never understood that guy…how can someone so evil also be a good guy.."

"Wait wha…." Before I can finish he just sways his hand making me go into a free fall in an eternal abyss…' Well now we wait…..'

Hey guys thanks for reading…if you couldn't tell the lucifer im nodding to is satan from blue exorcist…I always thought he was a misguided bad guy….il stop there for sake of spoilers….but now raiders been sent back to his dimension….so what will happen next?...we'll find out next time so for now…
