Chapter 59
It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
Batman
Sorry for some swearing on this chapter. This story belongs to me, but the game is obviously not.
Correction : Fiorentin said Acheron Guild in chapter 55 (Story number 57), sorry it should be Elysion. And for chapter 3 (story number 4), it is Acheron that ruled Pontera and it should be Phelegethon that ruled Niffleheim, sorry for the mistake.
At the same morning with the previous chapter, behind the main temple…
George Bardahl is seen sitting quietly on the ground, with a sad look on his face. The champion is usually a cheerful and noisy guy, being a dummy he is. Being a childhood friends with Fiorentin, Felicia, and Olivia, he has formed an invisible yet very strong bond with the other three, which makes him view them not as friends, but as sisters. The bond is what driving him in the battlefield. Although he may not be the strongest warrior to ever exist on earth, he carries out his mission as much as he could. He is loyal and trustful, at some point, without forgetting that he is a dummy, he's an honorable young man.
But it is undeniable, that for a champion who is famous for their sheer physical power, he lacks something important, strength. Just like Felicia said about George, he envies Elraven for being reliable and strong, wanting to be a man like his new comrades. Seeing Elraven makes him feel weak, something that he doesn't want to feel anymore for the rest of his life.
Ever since his childhood, a lot of people counting on him to become a powerful warrior much like his father, Hagi Bardahl, one of the generals in the Prontera Kingdom Royal Soldiers, known for being one of the strongest warrior on the capital city of Rune Midgard. Along with General Donald 'Dorn' Hammond, and King Tristan III, the three were once feared as The Three Spears of Prontera, three strongest warriors in the capital city of Midgard that protect Rune Midgard with their lives and powers.
Knowing he has a big burden to carry on his two shoulders, he trained as hard as he could ever since he was a kid. But sometimes, destiny is not on our side. George's late mother, Nannette Bardahl, was a famous sage. When she gave birth to George, she realized her only son was possessed by something evil, something dangerous, on his left arm. Feeling a need to protect their only son, Nannette, with the help of her husband, put a seal on George's left arm, shaping it in a chain like seal. However, the seal is invisible and will only be visible whenever George releases his true power, by unleashing the Ashura Strike, the most powerful technique for champions' class.
However, the technique will weaken the seal and gave the 'evil' on his left arm to take control over his body. That's why, although Ashura Strike is a very powerful technique, George had never uses it. His parents warn him about the evil inside his arm and forbid him from unleashing the Ashura Strike. Although this may help George's life, this only make it harder for him on his battles, because he could never unleashes his true power, making him feel weak whenever he faced a strong adversary. Having to hold himself for so long, George is now perhaps on the brink of his patient.
"I'm not weak", the champion slowly muttered with an angry tone, "I'm not weak at all". He rose and slowly walked to a tree, punching it. "I'm not weak at all!!" George shouted without anyone to listen. Gritted his teeth, he continues his wailing, "Elraven is not stronger than me, he just doesn't need to hold back when I need to!! That is the only difference between us!!!! Had I not need to hold back, than I will…I will…I….". Slowly kneels, the champion doesn't know what to say. His breath was heavy; it's as if he has something big on his shoulders, making it hard for him to take a good breath.
"Elraven is a monster, he defeated one of The Quarter Kings all by himself!!!", he remembers Olivia's saying. "He is reliable and trustworthy, I'm glad we have him on our side. He made our job become a lot easier", George remembers Felicia's saying. "Drake, Gloom Under Night and Sniper Cecil from Lethe Guild, now that's a resume. And don't forget one hundred and fifty hunters and snipers, he literally took out a guild all by himself", he recalls Fiorentin's saying. He could not believe how his three childhood friends appreciate a man they just knew for a month rather than him, although they have an obvious reason of course.
"But…he was defeated against Ifrit, right?", George, trying to find something to enlighten himself, muttered slowly. "He was no match for Ifrit, right? He is not the strongest? He..he still has some weakness. He is not perfect!!! He is not perfect, I can still surpass him!!!" George throws another punch to the tree, making it shake.
"But the question is…how?" George fell to the ground while trying to catch a breath, when he suddenly heard, "By using me of course". The champion quickly rises and prepares a stance, "Who is that?! Show yourself!!!".
"Relax, George. I'm not your freaking enemy" The voice calmly responds. George, unable to see who is he talking with, looks confused, "W, where are you?".
"I'm here, George. Right inside your freaking left arm" The voice answers as George looks at his left arm. "You…you are the demon resides inside me!!! What do you want?!" George shouted to his own arm.
"God, I told you to freaking relax, did me not? I'm not here to freaking harm you…well; I can't even if I want too anyway. I'm freaking stuck on you" The voice explains his condition. George demands a full explanation, "Stuck on me?!! What are you talking about?!!".
"Perhaps, it would be better if I introduce my freaking self first. I am Fenrir, son of Loki the God of Chaos. I was supposedly dead ten thousands years ago during the Ragnarok" The voice named Fenrir start explaining as George listens quietly.
"But, my soul was still alive, and I was put into rest for thousands of freaking years. For a freaking unknown reason, my soul was freaking trapped on your left arm. And before I could take over your freaking body, your mother sealed me" Fenrir finishes his story as George raise his eyebrows.
"OK. I understand up to that point. So, basically you're a freaking asshole since you want to take over my body, right?" George demands another explanation.
"What? No!! I'm not a freaking asshole!!! You are!!!"
"I'm not!!"
"Yes, you are!!!"
"No!!
"Yes!!"
"No!!"
"Yes!!!"
"No!!!!!!!!"
"Yes!!!!!!!!!!"
"Noooooo!!!!"
"Yeeeeesss!!!"
"No,no,no!!"
"Yes,yes,yes!!"
"No!!"
"No!!"
"Yes!!...Hey, wait a minute!!!"
"Aha!! Got you, asshole!!! Now, listen to me like a good freaking crybaby, you dummy!!!" Fenrir wants George admitting his defeat and shut up.
George grunted and sits on the ground, admitting his defeat. "Now, listen to me. You want to be freaking strong so you can freaking kill that Elraven guy, right?".
"What?!! I don't want to kill him!!! I just want to prove I'm stronger than him!!!".
"Aw, don't you have any freaking balls at all?!! Don't do something halfheartedly, you freaking asshole!!".
"Hey, don't be such a scumbag, gayface!!! All I want is to be stronger than him, not ending his life. Elraven is my friend!!!".
"Gayface?!! Gay freaking face?!! How could you say I have a face like freaking gays when you had never freaking seen me before?!! Think before you talk, not talk before you think, brainless!!!".
"For god sake, can we stop this ranting please?!!! Would you help me or not?!!".
"Aaargh!!! Alright, alright!!! Let's get back to our freaking main topic!!! You want to get stronger, right?? It's freaking easy!!! Just release my freaking power!!!".
George widened his eyes listening the suggestion, knowing by releasing Fenrir's power means Fenrir would take control over his body. "What?! That's bull!!! You want me to allow you take control over my body?!! Forget it!!" The champion loudly protested the son of Loki's idea.
"Think about it! I'm a god, if you release my freaking power, you'll have a godlike power!!! Just the one like Ifrit!" Fenrir tried to tempt George again. George didn't give a reply; he is too confused with the current situation. Having a power on the level of Ifrit, which even Elraven could not overcome, was a big temptation.
"You don't have to give me your answer now", Fenrir continues, "Let me tell you something interesting, George. Other than Ifrit, there are four other...entities, posses the godlike power in Valdomir. Well, Ifrit is The Fire God of Midgard, so of course his power is godlike, that's because he's a god. The other four than him is...the first if of course Beelzephir The Chaos. I remembered seeing him in the Ragnarok ten thousand years ago, perhaps he too, is a god like Ifrit".
George gasped listening the truth, "Beelzephir The Chaos is a...god?! Are you sure?!!!".
"Bet your freaking ass I am!!! Now the second one is their own king, Albert Gahn. I don't know what his true power is, but he definitely is godlike. The next is Great Demon Baphomet, Leader of the Acheron Guild. The last, is Naght Seiger from The Tertium".
"Huh, what is The Tertium?".
"You don't freaking now? Tertium is the term used for four organizations pledged their allegiance to Valdomir Kingdom to lend their powers whenever Valdomir need them. They don't 'work' regularly like The Five Guilds and The Quarter Kings. In return, Valdomir won't conquer their teritories. Because they are the third 'assets' for Valdomir after The Five Guilds and The Quarter Kings, therefore they are called as The Tertium. One of The Tertium is The Infinity Tower ruled by Naght Seiger" Fenrir explains. George nods, understanding his whole point.
"Wow, Valdomir Kingdom sure have a lot of allies in battles, huh? They are scarier than I thought" George sighs.
"Well, anyway, think about my freaking offer. Let me remind you that, using the Ashura Strike are just the same as an agreement with me. Or you can say, forming a pact. Don't worry, your freaking soul will still intact. I'm off!" With that, the heavy sensation George was feeling on his left arm vanished, leaving him alone, wondering.
Meanwhile, deep in the forest in the back of the main temple......
Elraven is seen upgrading his HAVOX with the sufficient parts. "Ugh, building a child of ARMAS is hard, really!!" The gunslinger grunted as he drinks a bottle of water, trying to reduce his fatigue. "I'm now wondering if I will be able to finish this before a week!! Damn me and my big mouth!!" Elraven talked to himself.
After finishes his ranting, he rises and pick a screwdriver, when suddenly light appears from it. "Hey, what the?!!" Elraven looks confused and drops the screwdriver, witnessing the light vanishing. "Was that a light?! I...created it?" Elraven tries to touch the screwdriver slowly, as the same light occurs again.
"I was right, I made the lights!! But how?" Upon asking himself, he remembered Talia saying a changeling possesses some kind of an unnatural power. "Perhaps this is my power, creating lights…interesting" He smiles, having an idea on how he will use his newest power.
Six days later, at Felicia's room...
The girls are planning to have a slumber party before marching to Geffen tomorrow. Felicia could be seen brushing her sister's hair. "Your hair is beautiful, so silky and black, sometimes I envy you I look more like father than mother" Felicia said as she continues brushing.
"Oh, come on!! You're the beautiful one!! Those yellow hair and dark skin suits you perfectly Felicia. You're mature and pretty, whereas I'm not. I should be the one with the envy, not you!!" Olivia replies this girl's talk.
Felicia giggles as she notices a necklace made of golden on her sister neck, a shaped cross necklace. "Oh, the golden rosary!! You still wear it!!" Felicia slowly touches the rosary.
"Off course!! It's a birthday present from you! I always treasure it!!" Olivia proclaims proudly. Felicia finishes brushing her sister's hair and sits beside her.
"Do you remember the day when I give this to you? That was the most wreck day on my life. I can still see the face of father when he saw me and you returning to the town" Felicia, still admiring the rosary, recalling. "Yeah. Remember the disaster in the market? And the looks on George's face? God that was really funny" Olivia recalls too.
"And I see you're still wearing the earring I gave you" Olivia touches the golden made earring Felicia wears on her ears. "Well, this is your Christmas present for me, no chance I won't treasure it" Felicia puts a big smile on her lips. The two sisters let out a small laughs.
Done with the laughing, Felicia sighs and asks in a sad tone, "Those days were peaceful, right? Don't you think so too? I wonder if...we will live to see those days again?".
The atmosphere on the room suddenly becomes heavy. War is never an easy thing to settle with. War brings nothing but death and loss. Winning it is no different from losing it, as both parties would suffer a lot. For these two siblings, who don't know what kind of destiny is waiting for them, recalling the peaceful days is all they could do.
"Hey, Felicia" Olivia calls her sister. Felicia turns her face to the high priest as the high priest says, "Don't die, alright? When those peaceful days finally return, let's...enjoy those days together, again". Felicia, upon listening her sister, smiles, "It's a promise then", the paladin responded.
Not long after that, Sasha, Frea, Fiorentin, and Wendy enter. The ladies enjoy the slumber party for at least an hour before they start telling stories.
"Hey, Sasha. Why don't you tell us something about Ropera Squad? We don't know much about you guys" Olivia curiously asks the gunslinger.
Wendy agrees, "Yeah, tell us more. Let's start with….what makes you crazy about Elraven?". The question made Sasha gulp and hold her breath as the other is watching her.
"Well…uh, what to say…", Sasha gave a weird look on Frea, who returned the look with a cheerful smile. Her face slowly turns all red as she tells her story, "Well, just like the other gunslingers, I was also studying on the Military's Academy…around three years ago. Even during the school days, Vice-Captain Elraven and Captain Emilio were famous for their skills. Especially Vice-Captain, since he is the only survivor from The Fall of Rachel, he got a lot of attention".
"Not the only" Frea corrected the young gunslinger, who grunted, much to the giggles from the other girls, before continuing her story, "Well, anyway…after the incident with Ktullanux at the Ice Dungeon, the Military of Einbroch declared that they will create a special squad called Ropera Squad. It is said during that time, that the squad was planned to have a battle power more than any other squads. So, there will be a try out and that means there will be only a…few selected members for the squad. Clyde, having been Vice-Captain's admirer since the Ice Dungeon incident, was planning to join the squad. I, for one, had no interest at all. Back then on the academy, most of the students called me a delinquent cause I have a sharp looking eye, which makes me look scary. But, nonetheless I didn't want to join the try out because I know I wouldn't stand out too much around such monsters, but…Vice-Captain he…".
Sasha stopped her story as if she is trying to recall something. The other girls goggled their eyes on her, making her feel nervous. "Uh, Vice-Captain..he.." Sasha slowly continues, "During one afternoon, when I was practicing at sniping, he came across the training room. Sniping is the only thing I'm good at. I'm not like Clyde who is good at close quarter combat, or Captain Emilio who is good at melee combat, or like Vice-Captain Elraven who is a perfect all round gunslinger. When he saw me training for the sniping, he approached me and asked whether I would want to join the try out for Ropera Squad or not. When I quickly refused, he said…"
"I think you should give it a try. I like the look on your eyes when you see your target back then. Those eyes were beautiful; it's as if your eyes are made of silver. A sniper with a silver eyes, targeting its prey, sounds beautiful, right?".
"That was the first time someone called my scary looking eyes beautiful, I guess that's why…" Sasha concludes her story with a very red face. Fiorentin, wanting to know more, asks, "And? Ever since then you fainted whenever you met him?".
Sasha slowly nods in embarrassment. "That's a cool story", Felicia comments, "falling in love on the first sight more or less". Frea takes her turn to ask, "What about the other members?". Sasha glared at her long enough before answering, "I already told you about Captain Emilio, right? He is strong, but he is some kind of a glory hog who wants to make name for himself…and he likes to bet even for ridiculous things, such as who will make love with who, mainly with his father, the highest rank officer in the Military of Einbroch, General Eduardo Barragan, a calm looking man known as the legendary 'The Death Revolvers'. But, although he is like that, Captain Emilio won't let anyone insults or underestimate his member. Anyone does so will feel his wrath".
"Yeah, Elraven told us about him. He seems to be a funny guy" Olivia spoke her mind as Sasha continues; "The next one is Martina Ramirez, a 20 years old girl who is really serious about trivial things. She is pretty, smart, and diligent. Right now, she is acting as the Vice-Captain since the real Vice-Captain is on a mission here. Martina excels in using shotgun. Much like Captain Emilio, she is a melee fighter. And she is also a good tactician".
"So, she is the same with Felicia then, although Felicia is a year older than her" Fiorentin voiced her opinion as Felicia nods, "Thank you". "The next is a huge apocalypse robot named Hugo. He is physically strong because the military has modified him. He is a good friend and a good fighter since he could knock Clyde down several times. The last is…the scariest guy on Einbroch and perhaps the most feared member of Ropera Squad, Tyrael Seraph, also known as The Gray Seraph" Sasha's tone becomes serious as the other girls are listening seriously.
"Tyrael is a merciless guy; he will not stop until his 'objective' is completed. And he doesn't care how many people will die because of his actions, even his own comrades. Well, I guess that's all" Sasha finishes as Wendy commented, "Wow, there's such a scary guy on Ropera Squad".
"I wonder what kind of guy he is…" Felicia slowly mutters when suddenly Sasha replies, "You have to be careful, Felicia. If by any chance Tyrael comes here in Midgard, perhaps he will…I mean you will be p…ah, never mind!!".
Felicia wants to clarify some things, but Sasha doesn't seem to be on the mood. "Well, let's ask Frea for a confirmation now!!" Olivia tries to lighten the mood in the room. "Me? What do you want to ask of me?" Frea gladly welcomes the questions.
Olivia: "What's your sizes?"
Wendy: "What makes you so beautiful?"
Felicia: "Name me your wish!"
Sasha: "Can you just break up with Vice-Captain, please?"
Fiorentin: "How old are you?"
Frea sweat dropped, not knowing the responses would be huge. After thinking around a minute, the soul linker says, "OK, I will answer your questions one by one. Now The answer for…"
Olivia: It's a secret (^^).
Wendy: God blesses me.
Felicia: I want to live happily ever after with Elraven.
Sasha: Why would I do that? Nonsense (Sasha grunted after hearing this).
Fiorentin: I'm 35 years old.
The last question made the whole room dropped their jaws. "You are thirty five years old?!! Thirty freaking five years old?!!" Olivia shouted loudly.
"You looked like twenty!!! Oh, my god!!!" Felicia said in disbelieve. Wendy could not say anything and fainted. Fiorentin rolled her eyes as Sasha start crying in enviousness, how could Elraven picked an old hag over her, or so she thinks.
"Did I say something wrong?" Frea asked innocently. "No, you didn't. You said something unbelievable" Fiorentin explains. Frea sighs and asked back, "What about you, princess? It seems your bratty attitude towards Elraven is no longer with you. Am I right?".
"What? That's…" Fiorentin embarrassingly tries to recall something. "Yeah, I noticed that too. It seems more natural whenever you talk to him now" Felicia agrees with the soul linker. "Yeah, he is definitely still insensitive. What causes this change of action?" Olivia joins, wanting to know more.
Fiorentin, being a confident person most of the time, finding it hard to answer in this kind of situation, "Well, uh…I….". Suddenly, she remembered her dancing with Elraven several days ago, turning her face red. Frea, seeing Fiorentin's cute side, tease her, "Perhaps you secretly loves him?".
"NOOO!!!" Fiorentin screamed, shocked the other three (Sasha is still crying and Wendy is still unconscious). "I'm not in love with him!!! There's no way that would happen!!! No! Non! No! Nooooooooo!!!!!" Fiorentin loudly declares with scary looking eyes, scaring the other three girls. "OK, OK. We got it, alright? Calm down, Fio" Felicia calms the former princess down as Fiorentin takes a deep breath. "Sorry for asking such things" Frea apologizes.
Seeing the atmosphere has calmed down, Olivia shakes her head and slowly said to herself, "This slumber party has become a slobber knocker party….".
At the same time, the oldies are enjoying their time on the barn...
General Hagi, General Dorn, and Talia are enjoying some tea on the barn.
H : Drinking tea sure brings back a lot of memories, don't you think so Donald?
D : You can say that again.
T : But drinking it on the barn ruins the whole memories.
D: Don't say that, honey. Your comment is ruining the whole moment.
T: I'm only stating the obvious.
H: Well, font fight here you two. We're here to wish a good luck fr the Geffen mission. Something inside me tel me that...perhaps our lies will never be the same once this mission is over.
T: Is that a bad premonition or a good premonition?
D: A good one, I hope.
T: I'm worried about our children, honestly.
H: Donald, who doesn't?
With that, they continues the tea party.
Meanwhile, the boys…
Clyde could be seen sitting beside Kirigi on the stairs of the main temple. "The girls are partying, huh?" Kirigi said without any meaning at all. "Where is George? I haven't seen him for days" Kirigi asked the gunslinger. "Oh, I don't know. He locked himself in his room for the last five days" Clyde explains. "Well, I'll go get him inside so we can talk a lot tonight" Kirigi rose and walked inside the temple. After Kirigi left, Clyde sees Alphard slowly approaches them. "What does that guy want?" Clyde arise and face Alphard.
"I need to inform you something" Alphard said to the gunslinger, but Clyde didn't respond. "You will join your Vice-Captain's team on tomorrow's mission to Geffen, so you better prepare yourself" The lord knight continues.
"I know, you don't need to inform me!" Clyde said and sits back. Alphard, still standing, demands an explanation, "What's with the rude tone, gunslinger?".
"You insulted my vice-captain and you have not apologized", Clyde answers.
Alphard smiles, "I see. So, that's your problem, pitiful". Being called pitiful, Clyde rose and grab Alphard's collar, "You want me to screw your sly face, huh?! Do you think just because you're a royalty I'm afraid of you?!".
"So, you want a fight? Then, bring it on. I won't tell anyone even if you hurt me" Alphard calmly replies. "You better keep your words" Clyde releases the collar and gets his double soldier handgun as Alphard unsheathes his Tegron. The two goes in the middle of the destroyed festival ground.
"Give me all you got. I promise to take you down fairly" Alphard exclaims.
"Don't worry, I will not kill you. I will just make you apologize" Clyde shouted and shot his gun, unleashing two bullets. Alphard easily knock the bullets down in two slashes, but before he realizes, Clyde has already appears beside his left. Clyde quickly throws a hit right on Alphard's head by using his handgun as a smasher, making Alphard almost lose his balance and almost fell down, but he didn't scream.
Clyde doesn't want to give his adversary a chance. He quickly kicks Alphard again in the head and blows his torso thrice using his handgun. Clyde adds another blow to the face of the lord knight and finally knock him down to the ground. Aiming his gun towards his opposition, Clyde declares, "It's over for you!! Apologize now!!".
The gunslinger could heard Alphard giggles, and slowly turns his face so Clyde could see it, seeing his face and head were not wounded at all. Clyde widened his eyes, "No way!!". "Surprise?" Alphard says as a hard wind blows Clyde away and knock him down.
"When I was being trained as a lord knight, the hits I got were a lot harder than that. Your hits were no different from a 90 years old handicap woman hit" Alphard stands up as Clyde looks at him in disbelieve.
"Take a shot and see if u can hurt me. I will not dodge it" Alphard states as he put his Tegron his shoulder. Clyde, not wanting to hold back this time, shoot" You ask for it!!!". Clyde shoots and witness the bullets stop right before it hits Alphard, floating. "What?" Clyde said to himself seeing the magic.
"It could not be...are you really a lord knight?" Clyde, demands an explanation in the middle of a fight, confused.
"Off course I am!! It's just...I was gifted".
"What gift?".
"Didn't you notice during the battle with Phelegethon? When I blow a dozen of enemies in an instant I am gifted with a power called 'The Stream'. The power allows me to control anything with streams inside it. Winds, waters, and also...blood", As he finishes his explanation.
Seeing Clyde didn't make a move, Alphard gathers a little twister on his Tegron and blows it hardly towards Clyde, perfectly hits the gunslinger and send him flying into the air. "Akh!" He screamed as he fell quite hard on the ground. Alphard slowly walks to him, but Clyde doesn't want to give up just yet. He rises again but he found Alphard already stood in front of him,smiling.
Before he notices it, Clyde feels something hot on his left arm as his left arm exploded. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!" Bloods splattered on the ground when Clyde, screaming, grabs his arm in pain as he fell to the ground, again. "Don't worry, your arm is still intact. This is just a game, I won't tear it off" Alphard sheathes his Tegron and slowly approaches the wailing gunslinger.
Seeing Clyde's in pain, he viciously punts the left arm several times, "Aaah!! Aakgh!! Aah!". Alphard stops his merciless doing with a smile on his face, "I can easily explode bloods inside a human body, just like I did earlier. And I can also dot his with blood". Clyde suddenly use his right hand to punch his left arm several times, "What?! Aaah!! I can't control my own hand!! Aaah!!!". Alphard just watches with a smile.
After a minute of beating his own hand, Clyde stops, or should I say, Alphard stops. Still in pain, Clyde struggles in pain. "Now you know why I called you and your vice-captain pitiful, right?" Alphard states his mind, as now perhaps Clyde would listen without replying.
"I will not apologize cause he's weaker than me. I could easily blows his neck and he dies, that's it. I agree to let him do as he pleases cause Fiorentin asked me to, no other reason. And next time, if you want to ask a request, you better ask it while keeping your heads down, just like now. Cause that's how a lowlife should act" Alphard finishes as he leaves Clyde clinging in pain all by himself.
When suddenly, an explosion echoed from the gates of the town.
DUAAAAAAAAAAARRRR!!!!
"What is that?!" The girls were shocked by the explosion. It was RSX-0806 and with at least 150 soldiers of his, all of them are Old Stoves. "Wahahahahahaha!!! As I expected, Sagaramore are not defending themselves properly!!! Now this is a proper time to attack!!" The mining robot declares with laughs as he and his soldiers march inside the city.
"Valdomirs are attacking!!" Fiorentin warns her companions as the girls rushes towards the marching robots. George and Kirigi quickly join them, but Alphard is nowhere to be found. When Fiorentin and co arrive on the gates of the residential area, they found the robots are already surrounding them.
"This is not good, we should have not let our guards down..." Fiorentin mutters to herself."Wahahahahahaha!!! You let your guard won too much!!! I bet you ordered your soldiers to prepare themselves in the forest, right?? You're too naive to think we won't do a sneak attack!!" RSX-0806 declared loudly.
"Well, it's not like we can't fight you her, alright?" Fiorentin replies as she and the others take stances, preparing to brawl. Annoyed, RSX-0806 orders,"Attaaaaack!!". As Fiorentin and the others started to rush, suddenly the former princess heard something being recited on her very ears,
"....that took His grace"
Before she could tell who was reciting what, she and her comrades saw a silhouette of something white flies above them, directly towards the robots. The figure had a pair of white, bright wings on his back.
"Who is that? I haven't felt this soul presence before!!!" Frea asks upon spotting the strange soul presence.
"It's an angel?!!" Olivia half asked.
"It's a valkyrie?!" Felicia half asked too.
But Fiorentin disagrees as she realizes the figure, "No, it's....Elraven!!!".
Much to everyone surprise's, Elraven has made his grand entrance. Now, clad in a darker gunslinger uniform and HAVOX on his hands, a pair of white wings on his back makes him look just like an angel. His feathers fall everywhere he flew across earlier.
"What is that?!" RSX-0806 asked himself as Elraven landed among his soldiers and start activating his HAVOX. A little smile could be seen on his face as he spins and shoots the HAVOX.
DREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDERED!!!
In a blink of an eye, Elraven retires almost half of the enemies, destroying them into bits before they could even reacted. "Whaaaaaaaat?!!" RSX-0806 shouted in disbelieve. Fiorentin and the others feel the same way too.
"I knew now, the divine wonder…".
"Amazing!!! that many opponents in a matter of second!!!" Felicia could not contain herself to express her amazement any longer. "I don't know what's going on, but a lot of heat points are vanishing" Frea mutters. Olivia follows, "He's a monster!". Sasha widened her eyes ad her eyebrows, "So, this is the power of true HAVOX. It is godlike indeed". The rest of the 'audience' couldn't come up with words to express themselves.
Back to the battle, RSX-0806 ordered his remaining soldiers to gang on Elraven. But Elraven touches both his hand on the ground and recites,
"Magna D'Chronos".
as thousands little spheres of light appears and surrounded all the robots including RSX-0806.
"What?!! What are these spheres of light?!" RSX-0806 shouted in confuse as the spheres fly him away to the sky and forms a gigantic light tower, which could be seen in the whole area, trapped the robots inside it.
"What now?" Fiorentin mutters as Elraven flew away to above the tower, topping all the robots inside it. Elraven aims his HAVOX from the top of the light tower as he calmly said, "You have witnessed my newest technique. Now, I must bid you farewell", before pulling the trigger of the legendary Gatling Gun.
DREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDERED!!!
"Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkh!!!" RSX-0806, as if representing the misery of his subordinates also, let out a long wail as he along with the other robots, vanished into bits of light after receiving thousand of the bullets of HAVOX, perfectly ending their lives.
Fiorentin and the others could not stop witnessing in amazement, as Elraven swiftly landed on the ground and his wings disappears. "A black angle with white wings...he truly is The angel of Darkness..." The former princess slowly said to herself as everyone but herself and George rushes towards Elraven.
Elraven, smiling, looks at his running comrades "I'm back, and I'm better than ever", He stated.
****
Phew, this is another long chapter!! I hope you like this chapter!!! How do u like the newest Elraven?!!! (^^)
And for Kogane1089, at first I wanted to tell you there's no way I would put Ty or Clyde to challenge Alphard, cause he is a lot stronger than them. Heck, currently he is stronger than Fiorentin and anyone on Sagramore (but who knows with the new Elraven). But, I thought I could make a storyline based on Alphard, so, sorry for not telling you first. I deeply apologize.
And don't worry for Clyde, he still got a lot to give after this. I made him lost so I will have a reason for him turning into the berserk mode using The Cutlass.
And how's HAVOX? Cool isn't it?
See u next chapter!!!
