Hello again everyone! It's me once more with another chapter for you all to either like or hate.
Quick question so I got this right, Irene can't sleep or taste because while she now has her normal body, she still has the dragon seed in her, which is preventing her from sleeping, tasting, or feeling anything right? I want to make sure that's right so I can do something in the story. Please let me know if I got that right.
Anyway, enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Thirty Two: Assault on Era part 1
"This way everyone!" Romeo told the others and the citizens that they managed to find as they continued to make their way through the city to find safety.
More felbats flew down toward the group to attack. Luckily, Cosmos used her plant magic to unleash giant roots from the ground to knock them out of the air and into the nearby buildings. As this happened, more felguards charged toward the group with their weapons raised. Both Wendy and Chelia unleashed their sky dragon and sky god roar and bellow at the demons, clearing the path for them to get through. Kinana and the exceeds were trying to make sure that the citizens were alright, while Hisui made sure Asuka was alright.
"There's so many of them!" Kinana exclaimed as she noticed more demons heading their way.
"Don't give in! We'll handle them!" Wendy assured the purple haired woman as they unleashed another roar and bellow at the coming demons, knocking them all in the air from the combined attacks.
As they continued to clear the path of demons to find more survivors, they didn't noticed that the massive doomguard in the sky noticing them below. Romeo turned to see the giant doomguard heading toward them.
"Guys watch out!" The fire mage shouted, getting them all to turn only for the doomguard to land on the ground.
This caused a shockwave that send them falling down onto the ground. Luckily they were able to get back up, but now there was a giant doomguard standing in their way.
"Enjoy this moment mortals! It shall be your last!" The demon roared out as it raised its giant sword as it began to walk toward them.
This caused the normal citizens with the mages to scream in fear as the giant doomguard got closer.
"We won't let you get away with this!" Chelia shouted as she unleashed another sky god bellow at the doomguard. However, it didn't really seem to do much damage to it as it kept walking toward them.
"Get the people to safety! I'll slow him down!" Romeo exclaimed to the others as the fire mage charged at the doomguard.
"Romeo wait!" Wendy called out in worry, but it was too late as the young fire has already engaged the doomguard in a fight.
"We can't wait for him! We have to keep moving or we'll be overrun!" Cosmos told the blue haired dragon slayer as the Garou Knight fought off another wrathguard.
Both Wendy and Chelia knew that they had to keep moving, but if they left Romeo to fight that monster alone, he could be killed!
Back with Romeo, the young fire mage unleashed a purple fire attack at the demon, landing a direct hit on him. However this only seemed to annoy the doomguard as it brought it's sword down upon the mage. Romeo managed to dodge the blade as it decimated a building that was in front of the demon. However, the young fire mage's then found himself being hit by the arm of the doomguard. This caused Romeo to let out a cry of pain as he was sent flying into another building. Getting back up, despite being injured, the fire mage charged once more at the doomguard. Romeo dashed underneath the demon as the mage unleashed a rainbow fire attack at the demon's back. It managed to collide with its target, but once again it didn't seem to do much to the doomguard but getting him angry even more.
"I'll crush you underfoot!" The massive doomguard shouted out as he tried to bring its hooves down on Romeo, intending to crush him like a bug. However Romeo managed to dash out of the way as the leg cam down, causing cracks to appear on the ground from the force.
"It will take more than that monster!" Romeo shouted as he unleashed a blue flame attack at the demon, landing a direct hit at the demon's face. This only agitated the doomguard even more as he couldn't get this mortal to die.
"You want more? Than have it!" The doomguard roared out as it swung its sword near Romeo, stopping the fire mage from moving in that direction.
However this would prove to be a mistake for Romeo as the massive doomguard unleashed a massive fel breath at the young fire mage. The attack overwhelmed Romeo as he yelled out as intense pain and burns covered him as the attack also destroyed a couple of buildings in front of the massive doomguard. The fel energy of the attack also corrupted the ground that the attack landed on.
Romeo managed to get back up, but it was clear that the young Fairy Tail mage was greatly injured if the wounds leaking blood all over his body were any indication. The doomguard simply laughed as he grabbed his sword from the ground as the giant demon walked toward the injured Romeo.
"Any last words before I end your miserable life?" The giant doomguard asked the young fire mage as the demon laughed as well. Romeo cough up some blood before he spoke.
"T-They will stop you." Romeo managed to reply as he looked up at the demon's face. The doomguard saw that there was no fear in the boy's face. Romeo looked at the demon with courage and determination. This disappointed the demon, as he liked it when those he killed were consumed by fear.
"Hmph! They will join you soon if we don't use their souls." The doomguard responded back to the young Fairy Tail mage as the demon began to bring down its sword upon Romeo. The young fire mage simply shut his eyes and braced himself for the attack to end his life.
However without warning, two sky magic attacks slammed into the doomguard's face. This made the demon roar in fury as the attacks made him stumble back a little. Romeo opened his eyes to see something stopped the demon from his attack.
"Romeo!" The young fire mage turned to see both Wendy and Chelia running toward him.
"Wendy? Chelia? What are you two doing here?" Romeo asked them in confusion, before grunting in pain due to his injuries.
"What does it look like, we're here to help!" Chelia informed the Fairy Tail fire mage, as Wendy began to heal his wounds.
"What about the others?" The fire mage asked them, hoping that the others were still alright.
"Cosmos has everything under control. They are safe." Wendy assured Romeo as she finished healing his wounds.
The demon managed to get over the surprised attack only to see two more nuisances with the other mortal, who seemed to be no longer hurt. This only got the doomguard to be furious that they are trying to defy their deaths.
"So you wish to die with him? Then allow me to grant your wish!" The massive demon shouted, getting the three's attention as they stood up to fight.
The three mages charged at the massive doomguard as the demon brought down his sword on them. The three mages managed to dodge the attack as both Wendy and Romeo unleashed their own magic attack at the Doomguard, managing to get a hit on the demon even if it didn't do much. However the demon was paying attention to those two that he didn't noticed Chelia unleashed her sky god bellow at the doomguard's back. This made the demon to roar in anger as they got another attack in. The demon tried to crush Wendy and Romeo with his hooves but they managed to dash out of the way. Chelia continued the offensive as she fired off a sky god boreas, getting a direct hit at the demon's head. This gave both Wendy and Romeo the opening to get their own attacks in as well. Romeo unleashed another rainbow fire attack and Wendy unleashed another sky dragon roar at the doomguard's right leg. The force of the two attacks caused the demon to fall on it's right knee. Not letting the opportunity to go to waste, all three mages unleashed their magic attacks on the demon. This caused the doomguard to roar in pain as it fell on its back, dropping his massive sword in the process.
It was only a few moment before the demon managed to get back up. Rage was in his eyes. He was getting bested by three mortal brats!
"You will pay for this humiliation mortals!" He roared in fury as he started to beat his giant wings unleashing a massive gust of wind being pushed at the three mages.
This caused the three mages to be blown away by the sudden blast of wind as they were thrown by the wind into nearby buildings.
"Ha ha ha! How did that feel mortals?" The demon questioned with a laugh. However, he stopped laughing as the giant doomguard notice the three mages not in the rubble of the buildings they were thrown into. "What? Where did they-?"
"Over here!" The demon turned to the side only to be met with a sky dragon roar and sky god bellow to the face, courtesy of Wendy and Chelia.
The demon gritted his teeth in anger as he was being made a fool by these brats. Wendy and Chelia noticed the demon roar out in fury as it was about to run toward them to make them pay.
"Hey demon!" The doomguard heard a voice above him. He turned around and looked up.
The demon's eyes widened in disbelief as Romeo managed to carry the giant sword that he dropped. The massive doomguard didn't have time to react as Romeo shouted once more.
"IT'S OVER FOR YOU!" Romeo shouted and with all his strength swung the massive sword down upon the giant demon.
It was too late for the demon to do anything as the sword cut straight through the demon, effectively splitting the demon in half vertically as it roared in agony. The roar died down as the two halves of the demons fell to the ground. The doomguard was no more as its fel blood spilled out of its remains.
Seeing the demon dead, Romeo then dropped the giant sword as it fell to the ground. The young fire mage managed to land on the ground as Wendy and Chelia ran to him.
"We did it!" Chelia exclaimed in joy, glad that the giant demon was killed.
"You did well Romeo." Wendy told the dark purple haired male with a smile, making him blush from the compliment as he simply grinned.
"Don't give me the credit; you both were the ones that came up with the plan." Romeo replied back to the blue haired and pink haired girls, who also couldn't help but blush at the compliment he gave them.
However, they noticed more demons heading toward them. They got back into a fighting position, knowing that the battle was far from over. They could only hope that everyone else was doing alright as they charged toward the demons.
All right, there's that chapter. The assault by the demons continues on.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
