I'm back again with another chapter for you all to either enjoy or hate. The battle of Era continues on.
I will probably stop calling the chapters "Assault on Era" part whatever after this chapter, since I think it would get boring if you keep seeing the same title name with a different number for the next couple of chapters.
Anyway, enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Thirty Four: Assault on Era part 3
"Out of our way demons!" Both Rose and Marcel shouted as they fought their way through the waves of demons toward the pit lord. The others were trailing behind them as they tried to catch up to the two future kids.
"Don't rush ahead you two!" Maria explained at them as they neared the pit lord on this side of the city.
After fighting their way through the horde of demons, they have got into the section of the city where the pit lord was leading the attack. For those who weren't the future kids, this was the first time for them to see a pit lord.
"That's the pit lord?" Mira questioned, noticing how big the demon was compared to all the other demons. It was smaller than the doomguard that was in the sky, but it was still pretty massive.
"Gosh that thing looks ugly!" Rogue told the others, as the shadow dragon slayer found the demon to be… well… ugly.
"Less talk more fighting!" Layla shouted as she lit her hands on fire.
Before anyone else could say anything else, the future daughter of Natsu and Lucy charged at the massive demon. She proceeded to unleash a fel fire roar at the pit lord. Unfortunately it didn't really seem to do much other than get his attention.
"Hm?" The demon turned to see the group below him, getting the massive demon to laughed, "Well, well, well… if it isn't the royalty brats themselves. Well, some of you." The demon chuckled at the group bellows simply got into position to fight.
"So it's able to talk." Jellal spoke, seeing that the massive demon was able to talk. The pit lord turned to see the blue haired mage.
"Ah. I remember you Jellal," The pit lord spoke, getting the mage to freeze from the demon knowing his name, "I remember that you almost joined us. It's a shame that E.N.D got in our way. You would have made an excellent servant." The pit lord then pointed his giant polearm at them, "No matter, you will all die here."
"As if!" Garad shouted as he fired off a fire dragon roar at the demon's face, getting a direct hit. This of course angered the demon as he fired a fel beam from his polearm at them.
"Move!" Hara shouted at everyone else as they all dodged the attack.
Taking the offensive, Rebecca entered her Vengeance demon form as charged at the massive demon. The pit lord tried to strike her, but the future daughter of Natsu and Brandish managed to dodge as she slammed herself into the giant demon's stomach. Following suit, Rose called forth giant roots from the group to strike at the demon's back. Both attacks caused the pit lord to roar in pain from the two strikes. Mira, who entered her Take Over: Satan Form, unleashed a beam of dark magic at the demon. Joining her was Hara as she fired off a fire dragon roar as the two attacks collided with the pit lord. Angered by this, the demon beat his wings which caused those who were in front of him to be blown into nearby buildings. The pit lord then prepared to fire another fel beam from his polearm, but then Tom used his binding magic around the demon's arm, preventing him from raising the weapon up. The pit lord looked to see the future son of Natsu and Millianna getting in his way, before noticing something behind him. A fel fire dragon head was right in front if his face as it fired off a beam of fel fire at the giant demon, courtesy of Sans. Before the pit lord could retaliate, Rogue and Angelica both appeared on the demon's back. Both the shadow dragon slayer and the future daughter of Natsu and Yukino proceeded to unleash a barrage of shadow and fire punches on the demon's back, causing the pit lord to yell out in fury as he managed to shake the two off of him.
Maria and Jellal charged at the demon only for the pit lord to fire off another fel beam at them, hitting the ground in front of them thus sending them back a few feet a little. The demon smirked, but that went away when Marcel slammed a lighting fire dragon fist into the demon's face. This made the giant demon stumble back a little. Before the pit lord could recover, a sword was sliced at the demon's face, getting him to roar in pain once again. This was thanks to Judgement, who Layla summoned. As the pit lord tried to find the one who did that, Layla fired off another fel fire blast at the demon, which was followed by Jellal's meteor as the two attack hit their target. Sans proceeded to attack once more by unleashing two more fel fire dragon heads that fired off more fel beams at the pit lord.
"Well, this isn't going well for him." Sans told himself as he couldn't help but smile at the demon getting overwhelmed.
Before Sans could do anything else, he heard a loud explosion coming from the Magic Council building. The future son of Natsu and Irene looked as he saw the state the building in the center of the town as in.
"Dad! Mom!" Sans spoke in worry, as he turned back to look at the others battling the pit lord. The red haired male then looked back at the Council building, knowing that he must go in there to make sure his parents were alright. He knows the others can handle the pit lord on their own. So Sans dashes away from the fight and toward the Magic Council headquarters.
Back with the others, they weren't letting up on the pit lord. Angelica and Layla both fire off another fire dragon and fel fire roar at the large demon. Before the pit lord could recover, Rebecca charged at the demon's exposed stomach and unleashed a barrage of fel powered fists into the demon. As if that wasn't enough for the demon to withstand, both Tom and Garad fired off their own fire dragon roars at the base of the wings connected on the back of the demon, causing the demon to roar in pain once again. Mira flew in close to get a hit in on the large demon, attacking one of the bases of the wings that connected the wing to the demon's back. Jellal aided the white haired woman by firing off another meteor at the same spot, getting the demon to yell in fury. The pit lord roared as he beat his wings once again, sending the others away from the demon a couple of yards.
"We're hitting him, but he's just taking the attacks!" Angelica stated as she and the others tried to catch their breaths.
"We need to keep up the offensive!" Maria told them as she charged back into the fray, followed by Layla and Garad.
"We need to attack it all together!" Hara began to say as she turned to the others that weren't currently engaged in battle with the pit lord, "Marcel, Rose, mom, you all strike him on the back on the bases of one of his wings!" She told her younger mom and her two siblings.
"Alright, let's go!" Mira told Marcel and Rose, as the three headed into the battle once again.
"Angelica, Tom, Uncle Jellal, you guys strike at the other wing!" She told them, who understood as they dashed into the fray to get the job done.
"Rebecca, Uncle Rogue, you guys attack at the stomach of the pit lord!" She informed them on what to do.
"Understood!" The shadow dragon slayer agreed as both him and Rebecca charged at the demon once again.
"Sans, you and I will keep the demon's attention- Sans?" Hara stopped herself as she didn't see the red haired male, "Sans?" She called out again, but he was no where in sight. This of course got her to have a tick mark on her head, "You got to be kidding me…"
"What are you planning?" The pit lord questioned as the massive demon saw all of them charging at him at once, "No matter, I will not let you humiliate me like this!" The pit lord shouted as he began to conjure up a fel storm.
"Brace yourselves everyone!" Tom warned the others as fel meteors began to fall from the sky.
The others continued to charge at the pit lord despite the numerous numbers of meteors coming down on them and the area. Mira, Marcel, Rose, Angelica, Tom, and Jellal attacked the bases of the wings on the back of the demon. This of course causes the pit lord to roar in fury, which was met with more pain as both Rebecca and Rogue slammed themselves at the stomach of the demon. Hara and Maria entered their Vengeance demon forms as they unleashed a power fel fire fists at the demon's face. All of this caused the massive demon to stumble onto the ground, dropping the polearm as he tried to get back up.
"This can't be! I refused to be defeated by the likes of you!" The pit lord shouted in rage as he tried to get back up.
"Too bad!" The pit lord looked only to see Layla unleashing a fel fire roar at his face as Garad managed to carry the massive polearm the demon dropped.
"HEY DEMON! YOU DROPPED THIS!" Garad shouted and with much of his strength he threw the polearm at the demon.
The pit lord was unable to dodge or block as the polearm pierced right into the giant demon's stomach. This causes the pit lord to roared in pain as the pain and damaged was too much for him to bear.
"Y-You will all… burn…" The demon managed to speak as he fell to the ground lifeless as the demon's blood poured out of its stomach wound.
The others looked at each other before most of them grinned.
"We killed it!" Garad shouted in joy as he drank down a small barrel of alcohol he had on him.
Mira went on to inspect the dead pit lord to make sure it was actually down for the count. However, before she got closer, Hara pulled her younger mother away.
"Don't get too close to the pit lord's blood." The future daughter of Natsu and Mirajane started to say.
"Huh? Why?" Mira questioned, what's wrong with the blood if the demon is dead?
"The blood of pit lords can be terribly potent. It's best to not get even near the blood." Hara informed her mother and Jellal who managed to hear.
"How do you know that?" The blue haired male asked her, getting her and the other future kids to frown.
"It's best if you didn't know," Tom told his uncle, before he turned to the Magic Council building, "Come on, we need to help the others." The future son of Natsu and Millianna told them as he started to head to the Magic Council headquarters.
The others followed the brown haired male as more demons appeared to block their path. They got ready to fight their way through the hordes of fel demons in order to get to the others.
Alright, there's that. Next time the battles happen in the Magic Council headquarters.
See you all next time whenever that will be.
