The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 77
The gang was in Ti'atha Forest as they were supporting Kisala who was about to do some trials but then they were countered by a beast they were about to fight it until Kisala stopped them from doing so as the beast transformed into a human named Albioth the king of Mariglenn
It's a human?! Jaster said
What the hell? Punk said
Irieth, is it really you? My beloved daughter... the man said
Huh? Kisala said
Again...what the hell? Punk said
How eagerly i've waited for this day...the day you would come back to me... the man said
D-Dad...? Kisala said
What? the others said
Yes, i am your father, Albioth-king of Mariglenn. the man said
No way. Punk said
I am so happy to see that you have grown up into such a beautiful young woman. Albioth said
Are you...are you really my father? Kisala said
Yes. Albioth said
Then why are you...i don't understand... Kisala said
To save Mariglenn, i went up against the cause of the evil destruction, Mother. Albioth said
We know. We heard from the queen. Punk said
Have you now? Albioth said
Yes we have. Sophitia said
Well i'm glad my wife told you then. Albioth said
You fought Mother? Jaster said
Yes. But she was unimaginably strong...and there was nothing i could do. Albioth said
What was that beast form you had earlier? Batman said
Yeah what's that about? Punk said
My beastly form is the price i paid...the price i paid for defying her. Albioth said
So...this Mother person made you turn into a beast? Punk said
Yes. Albioth said
How terrible... Kisala said
You see, Mother is the source of all the evil beasts that exist in this world. She is a mass of Rune energy, a fearsome monster with a strong will for destruction. There is no weapon that can be used against her. Albioth said
Nothing? Batman said
Nothing. Even if there existed a weapon that could be used against her, she has eternal life. Albioth said
Eternal life? Sophitia said
Yes Mother has eternal life. Albioth said
What the hell does that mean? Jaster said
It means Mother cannot be defeated. Albioth said
Then what can we do? She destroyed my planet, transformed my father...i can't let her get away with that! Kisala said
I agree. Isn't there anything else we can do? Punk said
There is only one way. Albioth said
What? There is? Sophitia said
Yes. Albioth said
Well what is it? Punk said
We have discovered a way to neutralize the power of the Rune using Drigellum energy. Albioth said
Drigellum energy? Sophitia said
Yes. If you pierce Mother's heart with a sword forged from Drigellum, you may be able to destroy her from the inside out. Albioth said
Drigellum... Kisala said
Where can we find one? Jaster said
Listen to me carefully, Irieth. A Drigellum is- Albioth said
Servent...have you forgotten that you live only because of my mercy and generosity? a voice said
What the? Jaster said
Huh? Kisala said
What the hell? Punk said
What? Batman said
Huh? Sophitia said
Hulk want to know where voice is coming from. Hulk said
Do not forget that you swore your allegiance to me. Your life is provided only as compensation for that alliance. As long as you live, you shall fight for me. Your life belongs to me. the voice said
Say what? Punk said
That must be Mother. Batman said
Seriously? Punk said
Arghhhhhhh. Albioth groaned in pain while also starting to glow
Dad! Kisala said
We've got to get away from here! Jaster said
Good idea. Punk said
Irieth! Albioth said
What is it dad? Kisala said
Listen. You must defeat me. Albioth said
What? Kisala said
This is the trial that has been given to you. Albioth said
But i can't do that. Kisala said
You must. Albioth said
Why? Kisala said
If you cannot defeat me...you will never defeat Mother. Albioth said
Albioth continued to groan in pain until he transformed into his beast form again
Aw crap. Punk said
DAD! Kisala said
Kisala! Jaster said as he was holding Kisala's arm
Let me go! Kisala said
No! Kisala, he's not human! Jaster said
But... Kisala said
Kisala...please...defeat me. Albioth said
Dad...all right, i'll save you from your suffering. Kisala said
Good...now...defeat me. Albioth said
Don't you worry, dad! Kisala said
So...we're fighting Kisala's dad? Punk said
Yeah. the others said
Figures. Punk said
A few minutes later
The gang defeated the beast as it transformed back into Albioth
You did it...you have managed to stop me. Thank you...my beloved daughter. Albioth said
Dad... Kisala said
Wow...Mother really did made you into a beast huh? Punk said
Yes. She has. Albioth said
Why? Why dad...? We only just met... Kisala said
I could not die by myself, Irieth. My body and soul are entirely under Mother's control. Albioth said
She was mind controlling you. Batman said
Yes. Albioth said
Mind control? You mean...? Kisala said
I cannot fight her. Albioth said
No way. Punk said
So, you see, i had to be slain by another. For so long i've dreamed for a chance to have one last look upon your face before i die. Albioth said
Oh my god. Sophitia said
And now that dream has come true. This makes it all the more easy for me. My long, arduous battle is approaching its end... Albioth said
Which means...? Punk said
I'm about to die. Albioth said
No, you can't...this isn't right-dad! Kisala said
Kisala... Albioth said
I only just met you, you can't go! Kisala said as she was crying
Now, listen to me carefully, my dearest Irieth. In order to defeat Mother, you must obtain Drigellum. This mysterious energy can be found deep within our hearts. Albioth said
Deep within our hearts? Sophitia said
Yes. That's right. Albioth said
What are you talking about dad? Kisala said
Here, take this... Albioth said
Albioth touched Kisala's chest and out came a pink ball of aura
What is this-? Kisala said
This is the Drigellum you have created. Albioth said
What? Kisala said
Seriously? Punk said
Yes. Albioth said
What kind of Drigellum is this? Kisala said
It is a Drigellum of kindness, born of your own heart. Albioth said
Kindness? Kisala said
This energy is produced in our hearts using the strength of our wills. It is the only thing that can nullify the Rune's evil life-force. If you can manage to gather all of your allies' Drigellums, it may just be strong enough to bring an end to Mother's curse. Albioth said
Where do we go next? Batman said
Ahead lies the Gulza sanctuary. There you will likely be attacked by phantoms born of the weakness in your hearts. Yet this may be what it takes to unsettle your hearts and draw forth the Drigellums. Albioth said
Well that sounds like fun. Punk said sarcastically
You who bears the Star King's powers. Albioth said
Y-Yes? Jaster said
After all the Drigellums have been collected, go see Yuvan. Albioth said
Yuvan? Punk said
Isn't he...? Sophitia said
The man you met earlier? Yes. He will forge your Drigellums into a single sword-it will become the ultimate weapon, crafted from the combined strength of your hearts. Albioth said
All right. Jaster said
Take care of...my daughter... Albioth said
Of Course. Sophitia said
And... Albioth said
What is it? Punk said
Take this back planet back from Mother... Albioth said
We will. Batman said
Arghhhhhhh. Albioth groaned in pain again
Dad...no. Don't leave me. Kisala said
Irieth, let me look upon your face one last time... Albioth said
Albioth was now starting to disappear
I am so glad i... Albioth said
Before Albioth could finish it was too late he was already gone
Noooo! Kisala said
While the gang was watching the king of Mariglenn disappear Yuvan was also watching as well
Lord Abioth...i see that your wish has been granted...please wait for me on the other side-i shall be joining you shortly. Yuvan said
Kisala was on the ground as she has lost her father
Man...that was messed up. Punk said
Poor Kisala. Sophitia said
What do we do? Jaster said
I think it's best that we leave her alone for a bit. Batman said
Good idea. Punk said
You said it Punk and wow Kisala's father just died that is nuts oh my god anyway the gang has decided to leave Kisala alone for a bit until she has calmed down and they move on with the trials in the Ti'atha Forest stay tuned
