Chapter 18 Duel

Sorry if I didn't update for quite some time, but I was very busy with the school.

By the way, I hope you like this new chapter

Now the war of Adventure Bay is only a distant memory, but nothing compares to the great threat that is about to fall on the city of Barkingburg .

Mortis, the guardian of hell, was ready to raze the entire Barkinburg and give no mercy to any inhabitant.

Rakto: it's time to demonstrate the true power of the forces of evil

Mortis: death and destruction will destroy this city. All will perish when my blade will cut their bodies !

The dem one took his deadly weapon. The sickle imprisons souls , it was a weapon that has the power to absorb all the souls of people who kill , becoming stronger.

As Mortis set off for the city, Rakto was deep in thought.

Rakto's mind: even if Mortis should fail, I will leave the darkness once and for all and not even that damned purifier will be able to stop

Meanwhile in the castle ...

The purifier had just returned from the fight against Superbius, he went to his room to think about what had happened and to the days spent in the city. As result of his intervention, the forces of evil are failing, and the victory was ever closer, but at that moment he felt a strange sense of danger, the very same one when he felt shortly before the betrayal of the Earl.

He was sure that sooner or later something would happen. So he was always looking out the window of his room to check the situation in the city.

Astral's mind: I have no doubts. The last demon will surely be a fearsome opponent, I have to be careful, it could come at any moment

Someone knocked on the door, the princess wanted to know if her Sweetie was safe and if she was fine.

Princess: Astral, where is Sweetie? Is she fine?

Astral: don't worry Princess. Sweetie is fine, she went to Adventure Bay with Drake

Princess: and why?

Astral: Drake was injured as he tried to save Sweetie. Fortunately, Marshall managed to call Ryder just in time. Sweetie wanted to stay close to Drake so she decided to go to Adventure Bay with the paw patrol.

Princess: Well ... at least I know she's safe now

In reality, the princess had something else to confess to the purifier. Since Astral had saved her for the first time, she began to be attached to Astral, but with the pausing of time there began to be more than just friendship, and then after all they were the same age .

Princess: Astral, I have to tell you something else

Astral: me too

Astral also had to say something to the princess. He had finally decided to unveil his true identity. he knew he should not have done it, but he could no longer live with all these secrets to hide, partlybecause for once Astral trusted someone.

Princess: first you

Astral: Princess, I would have something to confess. I actually am ...

Suddenly a palace not far from the castle was destroyed in a thousand pieces. The purifier and the princess saw the building collapse before their eyes .

Astral: what happened?

Prince ssa: oh my godness. That building has collapsed, and there are many civilians

Astral: a building can't collapse for no reason. Let's go to see, there's no time to lose

The purifier took his sword and called the three remaining warrior dogs. Together they headed for the place where the explosion happened and the scene they saw was shocking: under the rubble were the bodies of men, women and even children crushed under the large pieces of concrete.

The three warrior dogs had an expression of despair on their faces, but Astral couldn't yet feel this kind of emotion. The purifier began to look for any clues as to what or who was causing the collapse of that building.

A few seconds later, Astral noticed that some debris had a glowing part, with a completely flat shape, as if they had been cut off, which made the situation even more suspicious .

Astral: this building has not collapsed because of an accident, I'm sure that here is the hand of Mortis, the demon of anger

Cat: if I find that bastard, I will make him regret having set foot on our planet!

Kaiser: Cat. I understand your anger, but Mortis will be our most stronger opponent, we must keep calm and concentrate on this battle

At that moment they heard footsteps behind them. Mortis was getting closer and when they saw him Jenny and Cat tried to attack him, but fortunately Kaiser managed to stop them.

Mortis: I knew that by destroying that building I would have drawn you here

Jenny: cursed demon! Look what have you done. Those civilians were all innocents. And you killed them

Mortis: they are only human. They are made to die

the three warrior dogs snarled at the demon. Astral meanwhile approached Mortis fearlessly, the purifier had in mind to challenge Mortis in a duel.

Astral: Mortis. I challenge you to a duel

Mortis: * evil laught * do you really think that you can beat me? You really are a fool

At first, Mortis thought it was a joke, but when he saw the seriousness on Astral's face, he stopped laughing.

Before becoming the demon of anger. Achilles was often challenged to a duel by many of his rivals, but the result was mostly predictable, anyone who challenged him was brutally destroyed. No one has ever managed to beat Achilles, neither death.

Mortis: okay . We will fight inside Big Benji at midnight , and it will be only you and me. The winner will get the city, while the loser...WILL DIE!

Astral: I'm not afraid of you!

The two, shook their hands in agreement. Now the fate of Barkinburg is in the hands of Astral, very soon he will face a fearsome opponent, but this did not make him nervous or worried about the challenge.

To be continued...

Another thing: to the end of May, I will go to work for for a whole month so I will be busy again.

But don't worry I will never leave you without my stories.
