Chapter 5
Vesper carries the collapsed Kael on her back and starts walking towards the town. Vesper quietly whispers to herself, "This isn't very manly, is it Kael?."
Vesper reaches the front gate of the town where all the checking is done before entering the town. As Vesper approaches the guards, she pulls out a medallion from her pocket; it symbols that she is an adventurer. Vesper told the guards that they had been fighting with other adventurers, and they needed to get treatment and rest a bit in an inn. The guards after seeing the state Kael is in, let's them in quickly and told her the directions to the nearest clinic and inn.
Vesper directly heads to the inn; she opens the door and approaches the front desk and asks for two rooms attached to each other. The inn keeper asks Vesper to show script as he pulls out a script reading staff and explains that all inns must check their customers before giving them rooms. As the inn keeper recites the incantations, Kael's power effects react, causing the staff to break. The inn keeper was confused about the staff and had no replacement for it, so he just looked for keys for the rooms which are attached to each other. The inn keeper reveals that all the rooms have been occupied, so if they wanted, they could get a room with a bed for two.
Vesper thinks of going to another inn, but that might get the risk of getting caught by script reading, Vesper decides to take the room slamming the money on the desk and going up stairs to the room carrying Kael. She enters the room and throws Kael into the bed and the knife as well.
Vesper goes out to buy supplies for the journey ahead of them. She first heads to the clinic where the guard told her about, to buy some healing potions for Kael. Then she went to the market to buy the necessary supplies. She makes her way back to the room in the inn, as she opens the door she sees Kael sitting upright with the knife in hand.
Vesper enters the room and closes the door and explains what happened also about what his powers did with script reading staff. She then said "You're a walking contradiction, Kael. You destroyed a Holy Treasure with a piece of fabric and a memory. But look at your hands as the world is literally dying where you touch it. We need to get to my brother fast, or you're going to 'edit' yourself out of existence."
Kael responds to Vesper "So I am dangerous and broken just like my world, I destroy the stuff around me with this hell a power, this power even destroyed my old world. Why am I like this? What did I do to deserve this. When I woke up, I looked through the window and saw how peaceful the town was; no one was fighting everyone living differently as if it was written. What did I have to born into world of chaos."
Vesper tells Kael that this world may see peaceful were everyone lives like they want to but that is not the case." Vesper walks towards the window and points out an old man who is a baker and says "Do you see that man, he has been cooking for fifteen years and his bread still tastes the same, it because he is a level one baker, look over there the young man he is a level ten baker and he only started a year ago but his bread tastes incredible compared to the old man., this scripted world is unfair and that is why I want to destroy it completely."
Vesper then walks towards Kael, lending a hand forward asking to join her in the journey of destroying this scripted world. Kael thinks of the world he had survived and realizes he can't survive in this for now without as he absolutely nothing about this world. He hesitates but takes her hand and agree company her on her journey.
It was already dinner time by the time they finished their dramatic conversation, so they decided to have dinner at the inn's cafeteria. Their server was the inn keeper's daughter; she approaches them recalling them being the ones who come inside this morning with injuries. She starts the conversation by introducing her as Lila, the daughter of the inn keeper. She asks them if they recovered and if they were enjoying their stay in the inn, they replied by saying yes and thanking her for their hospitality.
She recommends them the best dish in the cafeteria, telling them they should try it and it's the best. Lila then asks them how they got their injuries; Vesper says that they got into a fight with other adventures like them. Lila then asks, "are you guys love birds or something, I heard that you two took the room with a bed for two."
As Vesper was about to say no to her question, A drunken man comes gropes her chest while saying "Hey! pretty lady do you wanna have drinks with me tonight?," while laughing with bottles of liquor in his hand.
Vesper pissed by this stands up throws a punch right at his face followed by a kick in the crotch. The yells in pain and then goes for a punch, Kael throws the knife pinning the man on wall. Two of the man friends show up ready to fight and charges at them, Vesper gives a kick from below to face for the first guy which send him flying. The second guy pulls out a sword and swings it at Vesper; she grabs the hand with the sword and twists it, disarming the guy and takes the sword to knock the guy out with the back of the sword. The first guy who she kicked in the face charges with punch, she blocks and throws him on to a table breaking it.
The wife of inn keeper shows up Lila's mother who was also the chief of the cafeteria. She looked like those strong muscular mothers who were scary but really caring. She took the men and threw out of the inn, Vesper apologizes for the table, but the wife does care it and says sorry for the men's behavior. As a sorry, she treated them to a meal.
Lila then asked them where they were heading next, Vesper told her that they were going to see her bother in the city of Diara. Lila then reveals that she was heading there as well in two days to meet her cousin; she offered them a ride in carriage to that city. Kael declined but Vesper agreed, in turn Kael agreed as well.
They returned to their room that night and to sleep with Kael sleeping on the floor and Vesper sleeping on the bed with the sword in hand. Two days passed by and the time to leave the town had come.
Kael had almost fully recovered from that day, and he was helping Lila load the truck with the supplies for the trip to the city of Diara. Vesper went to do some last-minute shopping before hitting the road. This was when she heard the horn of the famous bounty hunters known as the gray wolves and their leader Big Fang.
They were in town for someone with high bounty going by the name Demon Kiel, and a mysterious rouge who is a female. The price on their heads was really high. Vesper runs back to the inn and tells Lila to start the carriage as fast as possible.
Lila hits the road, and they make it out of the town before any member of the gray wolves spotted them.
End of chapter 5
Chapter 6
Lila senses the silence in the carriage and starts a conversation to light the mood. She asked Vesper "Why were you in such hurry, it's not like the gates of Diara were going close for forever if we don't make it in time, I didn't even get time to make hair this morning, see Kael didn't get time to do his hair."
Vesper said, "Sorry, for rushing you, it is just that it has been so long since I have seen him, I want to get to him as fast as possible."
Kael responds, "Is that so!"
Lila follows up by saying, "It's okay, I can just grab my comb from my bag and comb it maybe I can do Kael's hair as well" Lila checks in her bag for the comb but couldn't find it and then she realizes that she had left it on one of the tables at the cafeteria.
Vesper tells Lila that there are many merchants on the way to the city of Diara. Kael then questions Vesper softly about why she actually hurried to leave the town. Vesper reveals that there have been bounties put on their heads and the strongest bounty hunter Big Fang has set out to look for them.
Lila tells them that she is a level 30 songstress and told them how she performs every Sunday outside the inn. She then started singing her favorite song to them. Kael thinks about what he would do if he came face to face with Big Fang. Kael asks Vesper about the abilities that Big Fang uses while hunting down his prey. Vesper goes on explaining how the leader of the gray wolves is Big Fang, a hunter group filled with medium level hunters. She goes on saying that the rumors say he can turn into any animal which has touched the fangs of it.
Three days went by and the gray wolves couldn't find any leads until they investigated the clinic and found out that there was a lady who looked like the rouge in the bounty poster had been staying in an inn nearby. Big Fang visited the inn and asked about the demon and the rouge, but he said the name of the demon Kiel instead of asking about the demon directly. The inn keeper clueless about why he was asking about them, told that they had left with his daughter somewhere.
Big Fang asked him where they went but the keeper didn't know where they went and he told him to ask his wife in the cafeteria. Big Fang then goes to the cafeteria and sits on a seat and orders a bottle of booze and at the largest size they have. Lila's mother brings the bottle and notices the big build of Big Fang who is completely jacked and muscular.
Big Fang takes booze and stretches his legs placing them on the table one on top of the other, Big Fang with deep voice said, "Hey lady, I heard your sweet daughter went somewhere with two interesting people, do you have any idea where they went?"
Lila's mother responds "Who gave you such information." after realizing that those two were the ones who were in the poster. Big Fang tells her it was her husband; she then claims also of not knowing where they went. As Big Fang was about to leave, he noticed a comb with Lila written on it.
Coming back to Kael and Vesper's trip to the city of Diara, they had come to the last divergent road to Daira. They had camped the night over there, and also a merchant came by, and Lila brought a new comb to make her hair which had been a mess for a while. She then combed Kael's hair as well. This reminded Kael of how his sister used to comb his hair after every he had in his old world inside spheres.
Kael, thinking about his sister, made him think about the scarf which made him realize that using advanced ability of an object from his world would destroy it or something like that.
Kael walks over to Vesper who was drinking water, the sight of Vesper drinking was beautiful as her lips touch the top of the bottle and the water goes down her throat, she slashes some water on to her face making her look sparkling. Kael blushes and clears his mind to sit next to her and then asks her "what are powers exactly because when I saw your script there was no class or level written."
Vesper tells him "I don't have one, remember how I told you that my brother can change some parts of the soul script with his black magic, so he changed mine to have class just like you so I can be whatever I want to be."
She further explains that she can use multiple powers from different classes and her level can be increased by training. Kael then gets on the carriage and gives Lila a hand to hope on the horse. Kael then says to Vesper during the road "Do you remember seeing weird symbols on my script, they were letters from my old world and this what it said class: Irregularity and level: incomplete infinity"
Kael looks outside sees the beautiful land, unlike the time he first landed here where he couldn't breathe the air properly and get blinded by the sun. Lila screams as she sees a black figure of a huge muscular man with smoke coming out of his mouth up ahead.
End of chapter 6
Chapter 7
Hearing the screams of Lila, Kael and Vesper look forward to seeing the black figure as well. As the black figure approached the carriage it said "The Innkeeper's wife was tough... but her daughter's comb told me everything I needed to know. You smell like rot and static, 'Kiel.' I wonder what kind of fang a Demon leaves behind?"
Vesper tells Kael the man in front them is Big Fang, Kael without a second jumps and goes for a kick at Big Fang's muscular chest and then landing on ground with his feet while pulling out the stained knife. Even after getting a hard kick to the chest, Big Fang does move an inch.
Kael's eyes locked onto the jagged necklace draped across Big Fang's massive chest; a macabre trophy room of every beast he had ever slaughtered. As the hunter's fingers closed around a weathered gray wolf's fang, the air began to warp. Big Fang didn't just change; he erupted, his bones snapping and reforming until a towering werewolf stood in his place, fur bristling with murderous intent.
In response, Kael tightened his grip on the stained knife. He refused to let the "advanced" abilities consume it, instead of using the raw pressure of his imagination to fracture the reality of the blade. In a flash of red static, the single knife split into ten identical blades. They hovered in a lethal halo around him, each leaving a shimmering trail of spectral blood in the air like horizontal rain.
Big Fang didn't wait. He launched himself like a siege engine; his claws carving hollows in the air as he swiped at Kael's throat. Kael met the blur of fur and talons with a metallic ring, crossing two of his floating blades to parry the strike just inches from his face. With a flick of his fingers, the other knives danced, lashing out to leave a jagged, bleeding scar across the werewolf's snout.
Roaring in agony, Big Fang slammed a heavy fist into Kael's chest. A blow so powerful it launched Kael into the air. But even as he soared through the air, Kael remained the conductor of the chaos. He waved his hand downward, commanding the ten blades to charge. They became streaks of gray light, shrieking through the wind to intercept Big Fang's desperate guard and burying themselves deep into the hunter's hands, pinning his own claws against his head.
The Knifes unclutches from Big Fang's hands spilling blood, the blood that came out of Big Fang's hands add to the trail of blood following the knifes. Big Fang impressed from Kael's fighting skills and said, "It seems that normal creatures won't be enough to kill the likes of you demon."
Big Fang's fingers crushed the ancient sea-fang. Instantly, his spine surged upward into a jagged, oceanic fortress—a blackened, mountain-like shell covered in barnacles and serrated metallic spikes. He had become the Aspidochelone, a living island of defense that made him a literal moving wall. Kael steps back a little, waiting for Big Fang to make his move. Big Fang smashes the ground causing an earthquake, Kael lost his balance and Big Fang punches again but this the strength of the punch much stronger. Kael went flying and crashed into a tree, breaking it. He vomits blood as he understands that he can't take any more hits like that from Big Fang.
Kael stands up and gets ready to fight, as he runs towards Big Fang with two knifes in his hand. Big Fang goes in for second punch, but Kael dodges it by stepping on one of his levitating knifes then from it. This made him exactly above Big Fang's back; Kael uses his knifes to catapult and strike one of the spikes on Big Fang. As Kael lands, he notices that knifes chipped off and that he did no damage to Big Fang.
Big Fang starts laughing Kael's weak attacks and then says, "You call those attacks i will show you what real attacks are."
Big Fang then crawls up into a ball with spikes outside, then spins charges Kael at extreme speed. Kael barely manages to escape, and Big Fang keeps on coming back at him. Kael uses the blood to restore his knife and gets an idea. As Big Fang comes charging at Kael, he makes his knifes rotate and spin around him at hypersonic speed to create blood rings which can cut through metals. Big Fang's spikes come in contact with the blood rings; Big Fang stopped in his charge, and Kael used the force to throw Big Fang into the air. Kael notices a weak spot-on Big Fang's hard body; it was the front where it was only flesh was present. Kael redirects the rotating knifes at the weak spot; the force from the rotation was so strong that it pierced through Big Fang's outer shell.
The knifes had missed all the vital points of Big Fang, which meant he might be alive after crashing down the ground. Kael believed that the fight was over, suddenly from the smoke a werewolf with flaming white fur and three tails came out and punched Kael.
Big Fang had grabbed on to a fang of a kitsune, turning into what just punched Kael in the face. The fang of the kitsune gave Big Fang two abilities: one was the ability to generate at advanced rates and the other one to teleport to areas within the eye's reach.
Big fang teleports in front of Kael and grabs him on his neck, lifting him up from ground and sliming with a big grin on his face. Big Fang throws him to the ground like a skipping stone, then teleports in front of him kicking him on the chest which left him few inches from the ground follow by grabbing his hand and continuously smashing him into the ground and to close it off throws him into the air, teleports above him kicks him into the ground shatter the land.
Big Fang asked him, "How does that feel Keil the demon?" Big Fang starts walking towards Vesper, calling her rouge lady. Lila hearing Big Fang calling Kael a demon and Vesper made her realize that they were the ones in the poster with bounties. Vesper quickly pulls out her sword and gets in front of Lila ready to fight Big Fang. Vesper goes in for a swing with her sword, but Big Fang just it into halves. Big Fang slowly raises his hand to finish of Vesper in one blow, out of nowhere Big Fang starts bleeding as if some invisible spears had struck him.
It was Kael as he used his second basic ability which allows him to make knife with any material around him. He made a knife out of the air surrounding him and used to attack Big Fang while drinking some healing portions he found on the ground. These portions were actually thrown at him like Lila before she realized that Kael was the demon in the poster.
Big Fang heals with his powers from the kitsune and turns back at Kael. Big Fang teleports in front Kael throws a flaming punch; Kael made a bunch of knifes out of the shatter ground below him and uses them to block the punch following it with thrust of the blood rings in the chest pushing Big Fang back.
Big Fang grabs on a dragon fang and transforms into a demi-dragon and starts flying in the air up high. Big Fang breaths in a lot of air from in his mouth and looks towards Vesper and Lila, Kael understood what Big Fang was about to do and rushes towards Vesper and Lila. Big Fang breaths out a big fireball at them, Kael creates wind rings like the blood rings, but this is made of a trail wind, the wind flow disturbs the flame and puts it out.
Vesper asked Kael how he knew what Big Fang was about to do, Kael goes on explaining that he fought a demi-dragon before in his old world. He then uses the air knifes to fly towards Big Fang going in for a strike, but Big Fang turns into a behemoth giving a strong punch to Kael with all his body weight. Kael manages to hold the attack but they coming down about to crash into a tree, Kael turns all the wood from the into knifes and the grass to soften the impact.
Kael uses the wooden knifes to push Big Fang, and then Kael uses the wooden knifes to make a chain of knifes and rapes it round his body like he did with the blue thread before, then in for punch which was met with a punch from Big Fang clashing out.
Big Fang then realizes how to defeat Kael; he switches into a kitsune and teleports behind Kael to change back into a behemoth blowing a punch which was blocked by Kael. Big Fang then turns into the kitsune form teleporting around him in many directions and switching into the dragon form time to time shooting fireballs, it had Kael cornered with fireballs coming at him from all direction so Kael used the wind rings around him defend from but him can't move an inch or he is dead.
Out of nowhere Big Fang goes crashing into the ground, it was Vesper using a grade ten Gravity spell, and she uses speed and strength enhancement spells on Kael. Kael uses all his knifes to form a piercing fist and goes for a punch, Big Fang turns into The Aspidochelone tanking the whole attack and breaking his outer shell.
Big Fang gives Kael punch to push him away and said, "I had enough of this fight, I am going all out." Big Fang stood in the center of a crater, his breathing ragged, his Aspidochelone shell cracked and leaking dark ichor. He looked at Kael, then at Vesper, and finally at the necklace of fangs. With a maniacal laugh, he didn't just grab one fang—he grabbed all of them at once, crushing the entire necklace in his fist. "You want to see the peak of my Script?" He roared.
His body began to tear at the seams. It wasn't a transformation; it was a violent evolution. The midnight-purple dragon scales of the Dragon fused with the massive bulk of the Behemoth. From his back, the multiple heads of the Hydra erupted, screaming in different registers of pain and hunger, while the nine flaming tails of the Kitsune ignited behind him like a halo of death. He stood before them—the Apex Chimera. He was no longer a man or a beast, but a living glitch in the world's biology.
Lila falls into the ground terrified of what she saw, Vesper closes in with Lila telling her that they will protect her no matter what happens to them. Big Fang starts laughing and tells them that this was his final form called Apex Chimera.
Big Fang decided that he should finish the fight with a single move, he breaths in a lot of air and the hydra heads started to bottle there beam and the kitsune tails started to spin around generating energy for Big Fang and lastly the metallic spikes on his back absorbed. He then concentrates all the explosive energy from different mythical creatures into one big beam and blasts it at them.
Kael uses the earth knifes to create multiple walls, and Vesper uses a light shield spell backed up by earth and fire shield spell also enhancing all the defense with her magic. This manages to hold the beam off for a while, but it couldn't for any longer. With this time Vesper takes the time ask Kael why he isn't using his advanced abilities and Kael tells her that he uses it now he will lose the knife forever and he won't be able use powers here in this world.
The beam starts breaking throw the defense and a fast pace, as the beam was about break through the piece of defense, Kael uses his remaining two knifes to move Vesper and Lila outside the beams range. Kael took the burnt of the beam head on barely survive.
Lila after seeing the state Kael is in and he protected her instead of himself, decided to them the fight and starts singing. Her voice heals Kael and Vesper and gives them a special type of enhancement which was to increase the level of person she wants to increase.
Vesper not having level just got twice the strength in all categories, whereas for Kael his incomplete infinity had become complete. This allowed Kael to use his advanced ability without breaking the item he is holding.
Kael realizes the chance in his powers and see the flow of sphere particles inside the knife, he understood that he could use his advanced ability without breaking the knife. Kael actives his ability called the element of murder which allows him to create knifes with any element power infused in it and also produce higher rates of knifes in quantity and quality.
Kael starts to float from the ground with lines of knifes rotating in a circle on his back, there a halo made of knifes on his head and knife rings on his wrist and ankles. His pupils first shows a scene of a person getting stabbed and then it changes it's shape into a knife itself. Kael's mind fills with murderous intent towards Big Fang.
Chains made of knifes comes bursting out of the ground and pierce Big Fang's body holding him in place, Big Fang teleports away before Kael can anything more. Kael then throws a knife at hypersonic speed at Big Fang which he barely manages to dodge but it was a teleportation knife which Kael used to teleport behind him and throw thousands of flaming knifes sending crashing into the ground. The attack had broke the new shell of the Apex Chimera and as the Big Fang stood up he saw Kael felt fear for the first time in his life, believed that there is chance that Kael could kill him.
Big Fang goes in for one last attack before he flees for his life, he uses the same beam from before but it's ten times stronger this time and aims it at Kael. Kael responds by holding a knife with a shining color like the sun (The Solar Knife) and throws it the beam. It resulted into a big explosion covering the land and the sky with gray smoke. Big Fang tries to escape from the fight with help of smoke, as he was about to leave the knife chains come out the ground and pins him down. Vesper then uses enhancement spells and uses a binding spell along with a gravity spell. She also makes many large fire lances stabbing all the limbs of the Apex Chimera to the ground. Kael throws teleportation knifes all around Big Fang's body to prevent him from teleporting.
Kael starts to fly above Big Fang really high and says, "I hope you had a good life"
Kael creates all the types of knifes he knows of and makes a lance out of it and comes striking down on Big Fang's body. The force was so strong that trees started to fly away, Lila grabbed on to Vesper and continued singing. Kael then makes various kinds of knifes come gushing outside of every single body part of the Apex Chimera, making it rain blood for hundreds of miles.
The rest of the gray wolves reach the fight scene expecting to see Big Fang killing Kiel but what they saw was something completely different from what expected. It saw a sight of a deity slowly standing on top of a massive creature which looked like Big Fang's behemoth form. Kael notices them and throws knifes at all their heads killing them all.
Kael takes a glowing green colored knife and throws it on the ground which turns the land and sky back to what it was. Kael slow floats down to Vesper and Lila; as soon Kael reaches near Vesper, he turns back into normal and collapses landing on Vesper's chest.
End of chapter seven
Chapter 8
Lila stops singing and starts taking deep breaths to recover her voice, then she turns to Vesper and the collapsed Kael and says, "So the reason you were in such a rush to leave the town was escape from the bounty hunters, are you guys gonna kill me too now since I know who you two are."
Vesper responds, "Lila I am sorry that you had to be part of that fight and the fact we hide the truth from you but let me tell you the complete truth before you start to us."
Vesper goes on explaining both her and Kael past, and they meet and the rest of the details. Lila directly accepts their explanation without even asking any questions, Lila then tells them that she believes them after they protected her and the time they spent with each other. Vesper told her everything except about her plan to destroy the gods.
They hop on a passing traveler's carriage to the city of Diara. As they are about to approach the city, they saw that the front gate is heavily guarded and has detailed security checks.
The traveler gave the horse seat Lila and went to sleep, as they approach the front gate they cover the carriage with a big sheet so that Vesper and Kael can hide under it. Lila then tells Kael and Vesper not to worry about entering the front gate because her uncle was the head guard there.
The carriage approaches the front gate and Lila creams "hey uncle let me through the gate quickly. He uncle comes out if his office then greats Lila then lets her through the front gate without any searching
Kael and Vesper come out of the sheet and asks Lila "Isn't your uncle the who runs an inn in this town like your father." Lila explains that her father's brother runs the inn and her mother's brother was the head guard, she also explains that it was her uncles who set her parents to meet and marry each other.
Lila says her goodbye to Kael and Vesper and she goes to her cousin's place and Vesper takes Kael towards her brother's layer located in the downward district. Kael notices that the buildings were made of bricks and cement and were much large than the ones the town. The streets were more busy, the people had better quality clothes, most stores had expensive items and the people were so happy.
As they came closer to the district Vesper's brother's layer was located, the sights started to look shabbier, and when they reached the district what he saw was directly opposed what he saw when he entered the city. The people had no clean clothes, their houses looked like it was to fall, the food was dirty and the water was gray. The worst thing he saw was of a giant cage in the center of the market with rich people surrounding it, and inside were weak humans and other creatures which he had never seen. Vesper explains to him that it was slave trading and the creatures who he saw were elves and demi-humans.
Then he saw a small elf girl getting abused and this reminded him of his sister, Kael grabbed his knife and was about to attack those slave traders but Vesper stops him and tells him that these things are legal in this kingdom and he can't do anything about it.
Kael and Vesper had stolen all the money and jewelry of the gray wolves for themselves and sold it for more money. Kael, not being able to protect the elf who reminded him of his sister, also reminded him how he was not able to protect his sister. He decided to her as a slave which will at least save her from harsh treatment. He goes to the trader tell him that he wants to buy her with money he has (10,000 Xes) but the trader tells Kael that she is elven nobility and she costs 100,000 Xes.
Vesper walks up to the and hands him a small fragment of the holy spear that she stole after the fight, and it was worth more than the elf girl. She tells the trader to keep the extra money, and she took the elf girl along with her while giving Kael a dead stare. They then move to the upper region of the district where a bit more modern families live. Vesper then takes the money from Kael's hand and takes the elf girl to a salon to groom her. She was completely clean now with a beautiful face, but she had no clean clothes to wear, so Vesper took her shopping for clothes.
After purchasing the clothes, all three of them go to a food stand and sit on a bench. After eating Kael asks the elf girl what her name was. She remained silent; he then asked if she knew where she lived, then about how old she was, but she remained silent. Vesper hugs and tells her it is okay to speak as she wills, and her life was going to be different from what it used to be. The elf girl then she says, "My name .... is ... Elara, I am .... ten years old." in a low toned and quiet voice. Vesper then asks her if she knew where she lived before, and does she know her way back home. Elara shakes her head and says no.
They then made their way to the base with Elara; she was holding Vesper's hand and stood on the opposite side of Kael, giving glares time to time while she munches on her lollipop that Vesper brought her. They arrive in front of a bar, Kael asks Vesper what they were doing in front of a bar, Vesper tells them that this is the base, and she slam opens the door expecting to see familiar faces laughing and drinking booze and her brother in serving them, but the bar was empty and her brother wasn't there.
As they walk in the bar, Elara holds Vesper's hand tightly. A man and a woman covered in bandages walk out of a room, and said, "your back Vesper but sadly we have some bad news, Cyrus has been kidnaped."
End of chapter eight
Chapter 9
Vesper goes running to the survivors while calling them Grom and Nyx. Then she said, "what you mean Cyrus was kidnaped, he is literally over level seven hundred, and he can fight three knights of the golden ratio all alone and still survive."
Kael confused about who this overpowered person that they were talking about was and also if the guy in bandages was her brother. Kael then asks them who that person is and Vesper tells him it was brother. Kael was surprised to hear how strong her brother was, Vesper then introduces Grom and Nyx who ae lovers to Kael and Elara and introduces them back.
Kael then asks them what the relation between all of them was, Vesper answers him "we all are from the same orphanage, and they are like family to me, also we are an organization with goal to destroy this scripted world. Our organization consists of 15 members and the four us including Cyrus are from that orphanage."
After that Vesper asks grom about who the people who kidnaped Cyrus and how did they manage to contain him of all people. Nyx tells grom to go and take some while she went on explaining how they were on a mission to stop the Malakor traders from their illegal auction of demonic items in the black market, grom was knocked out by one of them and how she was about to be killed, but then there leader comes out of his launch and said to Cyrus that if he would become a slave for their upcoming Auction he would let me and grom free. Cyrus agreed to the deal and then they put him on some special kind of slave chains and a collar which made him collapse on the floor. Then handed her two V.I.P tickets to auction while mocking her.
Elara then asks Nyx to describe this collar to her in a soft and shy voice. Nyx describes it as a vibrant purple colored collar with red and blue line designs on it. Elara looked terrified and told Vesper that it was a collar made for the purpose of extracting powers of the chained with no limitation to how much power can be used, Elara then said, "I know this because my mother was also chained with the same type of collar so that they can use her Elven Magic to get more elven slaves, they used so much of her powers that it killed her.
Vesper then asks Nyx about what she had done with the tickets. Nyx hands out the tickets to Vesper, the date shown in the ticket was three days after that night at the basement of the great chapel of the gods in the north side of the city.
Vesper couldn't wait around for that long, so she rushed to her room to get her weapons and spy gear, in the meantime Grom approaches Kael and gives him a firm handshake and then asks him, "Why did you choose Elara out of all the other slaves?" Kael answered him "She reminds me of my dead sister who was brutally killed in front my eyes, Elara has the same blonde hair and the lapis blue eyes as my sister, and when I saw her, I felt to protect her."
Grom then said, "I wanted to see if you were some kind of pervert, but you are in the clear. Vesper comes running out her room and then dash through the door of the bar, Kael chases her to try stop her because even he knew if they had charged in without a plan, they would just get killed.
Kael catches up to Vesper and asks her where she was going, Vesper tells him that she is heading to Malakor's Mansion to save Cyrus, tears start coming out of Vesper's eyes as she runs even faster. Kael matching her pace tells her to stop and come back the bar so that can they make plans attack them later.
Vesper refuses to stop and continues running, Kael notices the tears coming out of Vesper's eyes and asks her she was crying. They enter a flashback of a young girl who looks like Vesper with two nobles walking to an orphanage; the nobles left the little girl and went. The girl was given a room, food, water but no one ever approached as she was wearing clothes with noble crest on it. One day an older boy approaches her and lends her his hand asking her to play with him. Soon later a boy and a girl holding hands asks if they can play with her as well. Then the scene shifts to the four kids standing far from the orphanage while they hold hands and watching the orphanage.
They come out of the flashback; they were behind the gates guarding Malakor's mansion, Vesper sits down on the ground crying about how she can lose the most important thing in this world to her. Kael stops running and gets confused about what he just saw, and he teleports to the mansion. He didn't know how to interact with Vesper seeing her cry, she stands up and wipes her tears, she starts running towards the front gate, but she was about to turn in the corner. She bumps her head at someone and falls down to the ground.
It was Lila who she bumped into, Vesper asks her, "What are you doing here in a time like this." As Vesper she notices a man behind Lila, it was Sir Alaric the 13th knight of the Golden Knight, Vesper pulls out her sword at Lila calling a traitor. Sir Alaric identifies Kael as the demon and also gets ready to fight while telling Lila to move back and that Kiel was powerful enough to defeat the greatest bounty hunter in the kingdom. Kael pulls put his knife after seeing Vesper pull out her sword.
Lila gets in between them and stops the fight before it even started, Lila then asks Vesper "what are you doing here, is your brother the illegal trader Malakor. If your are his brother then our relationship is going to be tarnished, as for your question to what i am doing here. To tell you the truth, my mother side of the family is a secret organization who deals with thins or people who do illegal things in this kingdom which are ignored by the knights of the Golden Ratio."
Vesper shocked about her big reveal, and she had traveled and stayed with some one who deals with criminals like her. She then asks Lila why she was with Sir Alaric and why hasn't she reported them to knights yet. Lila answers, "I did not report you guys because I loved the time we spent together and you also protected me from Big Fang even though he was after you guys. And this man is my uncle the head guard I helped you guys get passed.
Vesper tells Kael to withdraw his knife as she keeps her sword away; Sir Alaric does the same. Lila again asks Vesper what she was doing here behind Malakor's mansion, Vesper explains how her brother was kidnaped while trying to stop Malakor for his illegal trades.
Lila then tells them that she knows that an auction is happening pretty soon but she Doesn't know any other detail about it. Vesper reaches into her pocket and then hands Lila one of the tickets to the Auction. Lila asked Vesper how she got it and then she said, "With this ticket we can infiltrate the auction without any problems, You know what I have a proposal, let's team for this mission."
Vesper agrees to the partnership and shows her the second ticket and said, "This is going to great when I get my revenge on Malakor and his goons, follow me to my base and call your other friends as well, we will make our plans there."
They move towards their respect bases, but it seemed that they were walking to wards the same direction which gave a weird vibe to the situation they were in. As they both reach their respective bases, standing the middle of the street, it had seemed that the salon opposite to the bar was the secret base of Lila family and both parties has never slashed with each other at any single point of time. Lila bursts out laughing at the weird situation they were in.
Kael invited Lila's family for drinks in the bar the next day in the morning to discuss about their plans. Grom hearing the laughter of a girl thinks it was Elara and runs outside even though he saw her inside with Nyx two minutes ago. Grom see a girl laughing next to Kael, Vesper and one of the guys he saw in the poster of the knights of the golden ratio. Then he said, "Wait aren't you that guy from that poster of the knights in the golden something, what are you doing next to Vespy and Kale?"
Lila continues laughing while falling on the ground after hearing what Grom called them. Grom charges at Sir Alaric, but Vesper just puts him to sleep with a spell. Nyx comes out of the bar but she understood what had been going on from the sight of what happen to grom, she then greets Sir Alaric and Lila properly and then picks up Grom and heads inside the bar.
It is the next morning, and both parties have been caught up with what happen last night and met at the bar in the basement. The meeting consisted of eight members of the alliance, there was Kael, Grom, Nyx and Elara who was attached to Nyx while glaring at Kael time to time and from Lila's family there was Lila, Sir Alaric and Vie (Sir Alaric's wife).
Nyx speaks up and said, "So I have brainstormed with Lila before the meeting and came with a plan and listen up I am not going to repeat myself." then she said, "the plan is that we go in the auction as actual customers and since we only have two tickets, Vesper and Lila are going in as disguised as a rich noble woman and her spoiled daughter (Lila winks at Vesper with a small laugh). Kael and Sir Alaric will go with them as their bodyguards wearing the special tuxedos from Lila's family and all four of you will wear identity changing masks as well. Durin the security check they will use script readers to check the people coming in so during that Kael should break them like how he accidently did it in Lila's inn, if you don't know how just learn it in this time gap."
She continues, " You will also bring Elara with you as slave that you already own, it will be Lila's job to protect her and support Kael with using his deity form (Kael looked confused) and the rest of us will take our respective parties and charge from outside when the customers run outside. From the inside the attack will only begin either when they bring out Cyrus or the demon crystal which is used to summon demons outside for auction. From the outside I will lead my party of grom and the two upstairs serving our customers right now and from your side it will be led by Mrs. Alaric. And one last thing our leader is on a mission right now, so he will pop in the fight at any random point of time. "
Everyone takes a breather and then agrees to the plan without complaints and then spreads around the basement to have their own conversions. Vesper goes to Lila and thanks her for providing her family's technology and support. Mrs. Vie hugs Elara calling her cute while Elara stares at Vie's big chest. Grom goes to Sir Alaric and apologizes for charging him yesterday.
Kael goes to Nyx asking her why Elara was acting as slave when we just brought for the sole purpose of freeing her from slavery. Nyx said, "Did you know that she heard the conversion you had with Grom. She told me that she was most grateful to you among all of us because it was you who decided to save her first. She also told me you remind her of her older brother who brutally died protecting her, that is why she was acting like she hates you all the time, she wants to help us in any way she can , so I asked her and she agreed. Now don't you dare go to her telling I told you all this okay."
They all leave the basement and went to do their respective parts for the mission.
End of chapter nine
Chapter 10
The scene opens to a fancy carriage with three young ladies inside, they were Vesper with a deep emerald silk gown, Lila with a frilly, "annoying" noble dress and Elara with a dress of commoners and a fake silver collar with a fancy chain one end. Lila teases Vesper: "Careful, Mother, your bloodlust is showing. You need to look like you're bored, not like you're about to decapitate the waiter."
Vesper looks out the window at Kael and Alaric on horseback: "I still can't believe we got Kael into a tuxedo. He looks like a different person... less like a ghost, more like a reaper in disguise."
Outside another two men wearing tuxedos were riding a horse to pull the carriage, it Kael and Sir Alaric. Kael's Suit was a matte black tuxedo with silver threading (anti-magic silk). It fits him perfectly, hiding his scars but highlighting his lean, dangerous build. He wears a half-mask that covers the "glitch" pulse in his eyes. Alaric's Advised him "Keep your back straight, kid. A bodyguard isn't just a shield; he's a statement. If you look like you're ready to kill everyone in the street, no one will dare ask for your ID."
They reach the front gates of the great chapel and carriage stops, Kael gets of the horse and opens the door to the carriage, he gets down on one of his knees and raises his hand to Vesper and said, "Milady we have arrived at the chapel"
She takes Kael's hand and gets out of the carriage with a cold grace followed by Lila with holding a chain in her hand jumps out of the carriage and continues to walk towards the chapel and the last Elara walks slowly out of the carriage but Lila pulls the chain making her fall on the ground, Elara stands up and continues walking without saying anything. Kael couldn't bear the sight of it, but he knew it was part of the plan, so he followed along.
They walk forward and see there are three security check points, one of the guards point to the one on the left end asked them to move through the security check point. Vesper then said, "what kind V.I.P treatment is this uhh." while showing her V.I.P tickets.
The guards still ask them to move to the check point as it was part of the process, they move towards the check point, Kael goes into a flashback of him training with Nyx where she holding a long stick and said "Stop trying to smash it, Kael!" Nyx yelled. "You're a Glitch. You don't need to break the wall; you just need to make the lock forget it's a lock."
Kael breathed out, focusing on the red static in his veins. Instead of a 'blast,' he imagined his power as a fine needle. He touched the sensor. For a split second, the magic turned from blue to 'Glitch-Red,' then stayed gray. It didn't explode—it just... stopped working. It was a silent 'Kill-Code.'
There were two guards stationed at that check point, one of them approaches Vesper and holds her hand to check her script, Vesper hits the guards hand and said, "Get your dirty hands of me you commoner, only the ones who I allow can touch me."
This gave Kael the perfect time to change the script readers attempts, but he fails and he attempts again and only manages to make a small spark and the glowing light to flicker. The notices the flicker and smacks the reader at his hands, stopping the flickering light. Kael thinks of Nyx yelling at him later as the guard apologizes to Vesper.
The guard directs it Vesper and it shows that she no class or level, then points it Lila and sees that it shows songstress and he points it to Sir Alaric and it shows that he is a golden ratio knight. The guard then said, "What's wrong with this thing, why Alaric of all people show up here and isn't his hair black color, this man's hair is blonde, sorry ma'am for these disturbances."
The guard luckily was one of Lila's footmen, and he said that he checked out with his script reader, and that they are in the clear as he opens the gate for them. They pass through the gate without any other hold up move towards the V.I.P rooms guided by another footmen of Lila.
Sir Alaric whacks Kael in the head for messing up and almost ruining the whole plan. As they make their way to the V.I.P room, they meet Malakor himself. Vesper wanted to kill him right there and then while clutching fingers to her hand, Lila notices it and says, "Hey old man will you be selling any fun slaves today I am getting bored of this one (as she the chains of Elara), my mother says that she buy me any one I want."
Malakor says no and moves on while calling Vesper pretty and glaring at her chest and he even said, "hey lady, you know can come to my room during auction and we can some fun for ourselves, I will even give your daughter any slave she wants for free."
They stood there waiting for Malakor to leave the corridor, Vesper was in absolute rage as blood came out of her hands, Kael somehow managed to calm her down. Lila pulls the chain of Elara and gives her a tight hug telling her, "Sorry for treating you like that, I will never get bored of you okay, I loved these three days where I got to play and spent with you so don't think I will ever stopping being friend okay."
They reach their room with a comfy couch to sit down and a big window to see the action hall. They all drop their characters as the door closes behind them. Sir Alaric yells at Kael for missing up at the check point, Vesper sits down in center of the couch and Elara and Lila both sit in opposite sides of the couch lay on Vesper's lap while holding each other's hand.
The auction hall is a massive underground amphitheater carved into the bedrock beneath the Chapel. The Stage was a circular platform of polished obsidians that reflected the ceiling lights like a dark mirror. The Seating was five tiers of velvet-lined balconies. The "common" wealthy sits below, while the V.I.Ps (like Vesper's group) are in sound-proofed glass rooms above. The Atmosphere was the air that smells of expensive incense, old parchment, and a faint, metallic scent of blood. The lighting is provided by Lamps that cast a cold, unnerving white glow.
The common wealthy settled down, and a man takes the center of the stage as all the lights focuses on him, the man, "hello, gentlemen and ladies I thank you for attending this auction at this night under the great chapel of gods. We will be bidding the greatest of things to you , I am your host for today and let's get going."
The first item they brought to the stage was The Heart of a Drake, a pulsing, glowing red organ kept in a stasis jar. It's used to forge legendary fire weapons. The second item was The Silent Hand, a severed, mummified hand of a famous thief. When held, it allows the user to pass through any wooden door silently. The next one was a "Script-Eater" Larva, a small, disgusting worm in a vial. If placed on a person, it slowly eats their levels and magic, leaving them as a Level 1 commoner.
The next item was a small dark elf girl chained and dragged on to the stage who looked around the same age as Elara, in the kingdom trading of normal elf slave is legal but trading a dark elf on the hand was illegal as they directly deal with dark magic. The man says that she is one their special items for today, so we are starting the bid with 500 gold.
The crowd goes screaming from the enjoyment and start biding one after the other, then a creepy old man stands up and bids for thousand Xes gold, then another creep said two thousand Xes, followed by another for five thousand Xes gold. Seeing all this Elara makes a sad face and tears start to form, Lila notices the sad face on Elara so she goes and bangs the window so hard that the whole crowd below her could hear it then said, "Hey mommy, can you buy me that one she looks fun to play it." Vesper then played along with Lila and said, "lady show some manners when we are outside the mansion, I will have that one for ten thousand Xes gold."
No one dared to over bid a cold noble woman who talks like that and is a V.I.P, the host said sold and then went on selling more items. After a while the host put the auction at a break and gave everyone meals to eat while their purchased items were delivered to them. The dark elf is shown to the room of Vesper well dressed, and they registered the elf as their slave with script link, back when Elara was brought the same thing happened.
The staff leave the room and the dark elf approaches Vesper and stands in front of her while introducing herself as Alva and asked Vesper on what she shall do for them. Vesper ordered her to sit next to Elara on the floor. As Alva sits down Elara hugs her and says nothing, Lila then said, "remember when we see either Cyrus or the crystal we attack."
Malakor takes the stage and says, "Thanks for coming today to this auction, I am so happy to see familiar and beautiful faces. I hope you had fun at the auction, and you enjoy the items you brought today; I also hope the food was to your liking. Now I will show you our most special item for today."
Malakor pulls two sheets one revealing a crystal with demonic inscriptions on it as glows a dark purple color, and the other one revealing a man heavily chained from multiple directions inside power draining cages.
Malakor then says, "this is the perfect combo for the ones who want to destroy towns and cities, the crystal beside me can summon demos of any level and the man locked up in the cage is a dark mage over a level of seven hundred, with these power draining chains you can summon powerful demons to do your bidding."
Vesper yells, "Attack now" as Kael grabs his knife and red static charges coming out of his eyes breaks his mask. Sir Alaric releases his ability giving him glowing golden yellow eyes and hands, Kael touches the window turning them into knifes as he and Sir Alaric jumps out of the window. Lila stands up and gets in front of the elves and throws a flare bomb out the window to scare the crowd.
Vesper says, "Your dead, Malakor"
End of chapter ten
Chapter 11
As the flare bomb explodes, Kael and Sir Alaric land on staff members while killing them instantly. Kael converts the seats around him into knifes as the nobles run outside from the explosion, Kael then directs them at Malakor but the host gets in the way by using his earth magic. Malakor had predicted that they would come back for Cyrus so he already had built an escape mechanism under the stage, Vesper jumps out of the room and uses her wind magic to propel herself towards Malakor, as she was about to swing at Malakor with her sword, a low ranking demon comes out of the crystal and blocks it followed by a punch in the torso which sent Vesper flying into the wall.
Sir Alaric punches few guards and activates his ability gravity zone which allows him to control the gravity around him at will. Sir Alaric instantly crushes all the guards around him into pebbles then he moved towards the demon and gave the demon a punch so strong that the demon's head flew off.
Malakor had already used the escape mechanism to reach his cambers where a lot more guards and members of his syndicate live. Lila, Elara and Alva take the stairs to meet rest of the team, but two guards were in their way, Lila runs towards them while pulling out a knife and jumps on top of one of the guard's shoulders and then slits his throat followed by a backflip kicking the other guard's head into the floor and finishes him off as well.
They all reach in front of the mechanical passage which Malakor used to escape and decided to follow him. Meanwhile outside there were around a thousand guards stationed to protect malakor's escape and Vie decided to fight them head on. Grom goes in a rampage using his unnatural strength and killing everyone in his path. Nyx uses her assassination skills to finish off her enemies. Vie uses her psychic powers to kill the guards and lastly the two members of the bar Larry and Lawrie uses their extreme coordination to clear their area.
The outside team finishes off the guards outside and heads directly towards Malakor's mansion instead of following the rest of the team to escape mechanism. Back to the other team, Lila was running in the front followed by the rest of the team, a head of them small fries waiting from them. Kael turns the stone wall around them into knifes and kills them. As they reached near to the mansion there were more small fries waiting for them but this time it was different, something was off about them.
They had demonic inscriptions on them and looked as if they were opposed by something. The opposed guards create boulders out of rocks and sends it flying towards Lila, Kael creates stone rings like he did with the blood rings to protect all of them. Sir Alaric uses his powers to crush them before they could do anything else. Lila goes and takes a closer look at their bodies but couldn't understand what happened to them. Alva from them back said, "I don't fully understand what's going on, but if you're wondering what happen to that man I tell you, he was opposed by demon to increase his power."
The bodies of the guards start to decompose quickly, Lila calls Malakor cruel for doing these things to his underlings and then thanks Alva for her help. They entered his shaft outside the mansion but waiting for them was an elite guard with katana. The guard charges Vesper with his katana, but she manages to dodge the attack. The attack managed to cut the big diamond on Vesper's necklace in half, Sir Alaric tries to punch him but he was too fast and Sir Alaric's powers couldn't concentrate on him either, the guard stops and takes some random kind of pill and then gets the demonic inscription all over his body, now he moves even faster than before. Kael got pissed and turned the whole roof into knifes and used it to strike the guard, making it so that he had nowhere to run and dodge.
They break open the back door of the mansion which leads to the kitchen, there were ten chefs who are specialized in combat, they all take a demonic pill and transform into different things, it seemed as if the pills became more stronger, one the chef mutated into a monster holding two butcher blades, Sir Alaric uses his gravity powers to pin everyone in their places and Kael uses the metallic utensils in the kitchen and turn them into metallic knifes to kill all the chefs.
They make their way into the main staircase and at the intersection of the staircase was Malakor standing with a jar of blackish-purplish pills inside it. They all stop running and gets ready to fight Malakor, Kael calls back all the knifes he made till that moment back to him as Lila starts to sing, all the knifes come crashing down from the roof and surround Kael in a ball-like shape. The ball shrinks and shrinks and then breaks apart to reveal Kael in his deity form with the knife shaped eyes, a halo made of light knifes, rings around his wrist and ankles, and something different from last time, wings made of knifes and additional rings in different sizes layered on top of each other in an ascending order.
Malakor said, "You think, you can scare me with a look like that, I just made a deal with the devil, you see these pills in my hand, they make demon opposes you and a have warehouse full of them in my backyard, I can make even more of these with that Cyrus's power and the demon crystal, I even managed to summon a upper dark lord with his powers and pill out of it, it's this one ( Malakor out a pure black pill and puts it in his mouth). Good luck defeating my top five elite guards who just ate dark lord pills."
Malakor goes back to his chambers and in front of them stood three of the five elite guards who ate dark lord demon pills. Vie and the team break through a window behind them and enter the stairway. Lila then sang, "Okay, change of plans guys, Kael and uncle Alaric go after Malakor, aunt Vie, Nyx and Grom fight the guards in front of us, Vesper, Larry and Lawrie go and destroy the warehouse in the backyard and I, Elara and Alva will remain right here, now go and don't waste time."
Nyx then informs Lila and Vesper that she had just received a message from Kai which said that our leader and two other members are on their way with him to this mansion as we speak. Vesper then said, "We have no time to wait for them let's go do our parts and end Malakor."
Grom brings out his big hammer and goes straight for the elite guards which Kael and Sir Alaric to move towards Malakor's chambers and for Vesper and her team to move towards the kitchen to reach the backyard. The elite guards dodge his attack and actives their abilities, the first guard was a man with the ability which allows which to control a person if his needle hits there shadow, the second was a maid which had her bones outgrow her own body giving her a demonic bone amour and with her ability she could make spikes made of bones come out of the ground, and the last one had a lantern with a weird green light glow, the handle of the lantern was chained to his throat, his ability allowed to make chains appear out of anywhere he wanted.
Outside the mansion Vesper, Larry and Lawrie meet the other two elite guards, one with the create clowns of himself and the other with a wormhole for face which can absorb any attack, Kael and Sir Alaric reach Malakor's chambers, Malakor gives a sinister laugh while summoning two upper dark lords to fight them, one had the ability of anti-gravity which allows him to control how gravity affects him and the other had the ability of reality mirroring which allows the demon to mirror other possible timelines and realities into this world. Malakor takes in more pills as he watches the fight between his guards and the people who invaded his auction.
Grom goes charging into the fight with all three elite guards; the maid blocks his attack with her amour and the other dodge and land in front of their respective opponents. Grom swings his hammer left and right at the maid as kept on evading it, he then switches it into a swing from the above which she blocks by growing spikes out of the ground, then she followed it with a kick in the stomach which sends grom flying into the wall, she didn't stop there, she then takes his hammer and throws it into his face followed by series of punches and end it of she pierces him with her spikes.
She believed that he was dead so she was moving on to help her husband (the one who can control people), but he wasn't dead and he didn't when use the full of his abilities, the reason why he was sent to that orphanage was not because he was an orphan, he was sent there because of incident that happened at his village, where he crushed many people with bare hands as a three year old child, he was sent there because he was feared by his own parents.
Grom rips out the spikes and crushed them with his hand, he charges at the maid from behind gives her punch on the face, the maid stands up across the hall in the second floor and a small piece of her bone mask falls of and reveals a beautiful face with purple skin tone with a demonic letter on the cheek and then she creates a wave of spikes coming out of the floor towards Grom, he counters it by giving a strong clap shattering all the spikes and then he takes to spikes and then throws them at the maid with piercing force pinning the maid to the wall.
Grom then slowly walks towards the maid while dragging his hammer with him, as he reaches the maid he drops his hammer and holds her head tight crushing rest of her mask then gives her a series of punches to return the favor, it completely broke her amour and remained was her beautiful figure in a maid costume, Grom just crushes her head in his hand and kills her and throw her on the floor
Vie and the lantern guard fight in the right corridor of the stairway, the guard launches chains from his lantern, Vie manages to dodge them and she stands on one of them, she felt something be drained from her, but she couldn't tell what exactly it was. She uses her psychic powers to control the paintings and other decorative items and flings them at the guard, blocks them by bringing out more chains to block it, Vie notices that the lights in the corridor turned green but she thinks nothing of it. Vie then uses the weapons of the fallen guards and uses them to attack the guard; the guard again blocks all of them by bringing out more chains.
Vie now had less space to move around with all the chains filling out the corridor; she then tried to break the chains with her powers, but she felt like her powers were being drained. The guard shots out more chains aiming at Vie, but she manages to dodge them as she feels more and more dizzy. The true power of the Lantern was to bring his prey's mind to the underworld and kill them quietly, the more chains the lantern brings out the closer the prey gets to the underworld.
Vie starts to lose her vision as the corridor becomes more darker; she could hear little girls running around and giggling. Slowly, memories of the past start to feel her mind, from the happy ones to the ones she regrets. She first saw the memory of regretting not spending more time with her father, then a regretful memory of fighting with her mother, then of memory with Sir Alaric rejecting him when he first asked her out and then we shift to memory of her burning a document with the king's official stamp on it and written on it was "Invitation to be member of the golden ratio"
As they approach the gate to the underworld, Vie goes unconscious but before she completely gave in, she used her powers to herself in auto control mode. As the chains carry her down to the gate, her body reacts and breaks them all; she uses her powers to float in the dark abyss. She charges in and gives the guard a punch in the face. The demons near the gate come to help the guard in the fight, Vie uses her powers and crushes the insides of the demons before they could even attack. Her real body in the real world, laying cold on the floor starts to float, the body uses the powers to pull the guard with chains towards it, the body chocks the guard with hand while placing the fingertips of the other hand on the guard's forehead. The body pulls out the guard's brain with her powers and puts it in the lantern. This caused the guard's power to malfunction and Vie comes back to her own mind and body, then she erases the guard's brain and body by shattering it to a million pieces.
While these fights are happening inside the mansion's stairway, outside the mansion in the backyard is an intense team battle between Vesper, Larry and Lawrie are fighting the elite guards Void-eater and mirror clown, Vesper and team were surrounded by the clowns and all the attacks they uses gets eaten by void-eater. With nothing left to do, Larry and Lawrie use the full extent of their powers.
Long ago, the gods wanted to do an experiment on human reproduction, they wanted a human to give birth to many life forms but in one body so that person can have multiple scripts at the same time, so the gods altered the script of triplets who being carried by kind and caring mother, during the delivery the mother felt something warping inside her stomach but she passes it on as feelings during the delivery. After the babies came out of her, there was only two babies at sight, but her script said she was going to give birth to triplets.
She takes the twins back home and realizes that the warping feeling she had was what killed her third child, she started to blame herself for what happen and saying she was the one who killed her third child.
Two years passed by and the mental condition of the mother got worser and worser. Then one day the mother suicided leaving the twins named Larry and Lawrie in this world all alone, the gods writes off the experiment as an failure because instead of combining three bodies into one sustainable powerhouse, it made it so that the twins could fusion into a whole new person the third twin who was the absolute powerhouse with elemental magic and his name was Lazarus.
Larry and Lawrie clasp hands, and their bodies begin to warp just like their mother felt during birth. A blinding light erupts, and Lazarus emerges. He looks like a perfect blend of the two, but his eyes glow with the elemental power of the third script. He summons hundreds of fire balls around them which are hot enough to melt the ground and fire them in all directions, wiping out all the clowns in an instant. The void-eater tries absorbing them but they were too fast for him to do so. Lazarus uses earth magic to the original mirror clown in place and finishes him off with his wind magic.
Kael and Sir Alaric now are face to face with strong demons in front of Malakor's chambers, LIila's voice starts to disappear as more time passes by, Kael understands that he had to finish this quickly as possible before Lila gets tired. Kael creates fire rings and throws them at the demon, but the demon just mirrors it into another reality. Kael then charges in for close combat but the demon was more faster than him and dodges all of his efforts to deal damage, the demon then punches Kael in the face which sends him flying in midair, as he tries to get his balance another version of that from another reality appears behind him and punches him back towards the demon, soon after more demons appear and start punching and passing him to each other like if was some sort of ball. Kael uses his teleportation knife and gets away from the demons.
Meanwhile, Sir Alaric couldn't help Kael because he was also in a difficult situation, where he was facing a demon with almost the same power. They just kept on cancelling each other, so they had to completely depend on their close combat skills. The demon was faster and stronger than Sir Alaric but he had more combat experience so the fight was even, neither of them was able to hit the other.
Kael tried use his teleportation knifes to land hits on the demon but when he gets close either they disappear or the knifes come back towards him. Kael had taken a lot of damage so he tried to heal many times but the demon mirrors the healing knifes to other realities. The demon punches him into the ground and mocks him for being so weak, Kael realized that the demon had the ability to control reality in some way but before he could use that information to fight the demon, his wings stat to fall apart and the rings started to lose it's color.
Lila had gotten tired from singing for so long and so loud; her voice started to wither as she fell on the ground with her knees. Elara closes in on Lila and slowly moves her hand towards Lila's neck and then chocks her. Instead of suffocating Lila it healed her throat giving Lila her voice and strength back, Elara then said, "I didn't tell anyone this but my power is called reverse healing, which allows me to heal anyone by hurting them and hurt them by healing them, for I can help you like this."
As Elara heals Lila a group of lower ranking guards sneaks up behind them, Alva Gets in front of them and points her hand at them shooting a big dark beam out of it, then she said, "Well that is my power and I hope it can help you in whatever you are doing , Master."
The demon that Kael was facing Brought out a sword to finish Kael off. The demon charges in with swing but then Kael gets his Wings and rings back, and he pulls out a knife with a crimson red color and throws it at the demon. The demon tries to mirror the knife away, but it doesn't work so he blocks it with the sword. The demon gets confused on how he wasn't able to mirror the knife, Kael continues to throw more of those red crimson knifes at the demon, it couldn't block them all and gets hurt, it tried to heal itself by mirror a reality of health but it didn't work, Kael then said, "You still don't get it, do you, I have the ability to create any kind of knife I and the red crimson knifes on your body are reality knifes made specially for you , so that you can't so it to run away from me."
Kael tries out something new he tried to combine two knifes with different abilities into one knife, he combined the reality knife with the teleportation knife and throws it at the demon which teleported him and the demon to realm where all the realities in existence was present. Kael takes out solar knifes and throws them at which the demon uses the realities to block, Kael fuses the solar knife with the reality knife and throws but the demon manages to dodge them, so Kael fuses the solar knife, the teleportation knife and the reality knife so that no matter what the demon does he can't dodge or block it.
The knife pierces the demon's body and burns it; the demon was angry that it's unstoppable technique had been stopped. The demon in his rage uses his ability to fullest extent where mirrored multiple reality at the same time, making him many powers from different realities but he can't hold that form for every long otherwise he will kill himself. Then the demon notices a special knife on Kael's waist which Lila's song coming out of it, the knife was sort of radio that was connected to the world, the demon understood that if he destroys that knife Kael will lose his powers again.
The demon brings out two huge stars out of the realities around and compresses them, turning them into a big blackhole and throws it at Kael, followed by mirroring the blockhole so that it will come at Kael from all directions. Kael creates a new green knife with a different shade than the healing knife, then fusions it with a solar knife then throws multiple of them at the blackholes. The green knifes had time powers which was used to reverse the blackholes back into stars, then Kael creates a big solar ring out of the stars followed by plasma knife backed with the energy from the solar ring and then fires the knifes at the demon like a machine gun. The demon blocks it by creating a shield out of rocks from heaven.
The demon was about to lose his final form, so he made his final attempt to destroy the radio knife by compressing many realities into spears, they powerful enough to pierce through the heavens itself, Kael fusions many kinds of knifes like the solar knifes, teleportation knifes, the reality knifes, the time knifes, the space knifes, soul knifes, and etc. to create a new knife which had the same color as his halo, and then he makes rings out of those knifes and called it the deity rings, Kael throws the rings at the demon as the demon throws his spear, they clash and cancel each other out while creating a fracture in the realm of realities.
The demon loses his form and tries to escape but he couldn't, Kael brings out the deity knife, the demon brings out a shard of the late demon king (the strongest demon ever) which stored his powers and the demon uses it to create a magic shield out of it. Kael throws the knife at the shield shattering it and cuts half of the demon's hand.
Meanwhile the void-eater seeing his friend killed, made him go into his rage mode where summons five void vacuums which just sucks everything that the guard wants to destroy and it won't stop until it is sucked in. Lazarus manages to shoot five different elemental beams at each of to contain them for a while.
At the same time, inside the mansion Nyx and the shadow master guard were fighting in the left corridor of the stairway, the guard used the dead bodies of the lower ranking guards to kill Nyx, but she cuts off all the heads of the dead bodies. The bodies still continued to move and attack Nyx. She then decides to go directly for the elite guard, but the bodies kept on protecting him, Nyx then activates her ability called assassin mode which enhances all her physical and mental abilities and also gives her the ability to teleport to the blind spots of her targets.
She teleports behind the guard and tries to kill him with a dagger, but he dodges, Nyx does the same thing again and again but the dodge it with even looking at her. The guard had his own shadow control his body to dodge unseen attacks; there was no she could reach him. Suddenly Grom came out, crushing the wall between them, and Vie was also with him. Vie holds him in place while Grom gives him a really strong punch sending him into the stairway. As the guard stands up, he notices his Wife's body on the floor without a head and a broken lantern with pieces of flesh around it, the sight of it made go crazy and mad. He activates the full extent of his powers which hit everyone's shadow and made them under his control; it also hit Lila and her team.
Kael brings him and demon back to real world thinking that he can kill all three of them at the same time, but as soon as he came back Lila had stopped singing as she was now under the guards control, Kael loses his deity form whereas Malakor had charged up an attack to Kael and Sir Alaric. All three teams were cornered and had no escape.

Chapter 12
Outside the mansion a man was slowly falling down and he then said, "Flame circle ninth form, Phoenix dive." as he charges towards the warehouse in the form of a flaming bird and creates a big explosion. Another man teleports in front of the void and cancels out all the void and the guard. Vesper then said, "If you two are here then that means he is here two."
Inside the mansion, a hooded man comes out of the shadow of the shadow guard and then slices him in half with a scythe made dark energy, then he said, "Back up is here," as he removed his mask, it was Kai. Near to Malakor's chamber, he holds up a big dark ball of energy strong enough to wipe out the mansion, A man comes crashing down the stands on both the demons head and jumps towards Malakor kicking the ball away from the mansion followed by a kick in the face to Malakor which sends him flying into the wall, it was the leader.
A flashback to a sense right after the meeting, Kael and Sir Alaric approached Vesper and Nyx asking them who their leader was, Vesper then said, "Kael you know there is a reason why I believed your story really fast, and Sir Alaric you know our leader really well actually, it is V.S Darwin." Sir Alaric then said, "You mean the V.S Darwin the summoned hero from the other world to help the hero's party and later on for some reasons went in war with the kingdom and the alliance including the older generation of the golden ratio knights and won the fight and on top of that he killed five gods, that man is your leader."
A decade ago, when the demon king was alive and aiming to conquer the whole world, a human from another world was summoned to support the chosen hero. The human name was 'Vishnu Suresh' but when the hero asked his name, he told them it was V.S Darwin because he didn't fully trust the kingdom. The hero's party adventured and defeated the demon king and came back to the kingdom, Darwin expected to return to his original world, but the kingdom refused and said that the gods think you are demon as the script does show for you. They kicked him out of the kingdom while treating him like trash, V.S Darwin decided to fight the kingdom hoping he could force them to send him back. He went to war with the kingdom and its alliance with the seven neighboring countries and won but sadly, it seemed only the gods could back to the world. V.S Darwin then made the crown prince the king as he helped him to defeat the king but soon after that the hero took over the kingdom. V.S Darwin then disappeared from the public and then created this organization with people filled with the same goal as his which was to kill the gods which wronged them.
Coming back to the fight in the mansion, Malakor comes out of the wall in rage after getting kicked on the face. He brings out a big sword which was twice his own size and gives it a portion of his powers. Malakor then swings at Darwin, but he just blocks the sword with his sandals and then breaks the sword with his hands. Lila started to sing again, and Kael gains his deity form back, so he kills both the demons in front of him and tries to help Darwin, but Darwin stops him by slowly waving his hand and then puts his hand back in his pocket. Malakor summons ten upper demon lords and orders them to kill Darwin, the demons close in at him but with a blink of an eye they all fell on the ground drop dead. Darwin then said, "No one messes with my Cyrus and gets away with it."
Darwin walked towards Malakor slowly while avoiding all his and as he reached Malakor, he fell down and started to crawl backwards while apologizing to Darwin for messing with Cyrus and also offered him anything he wanted too, Darwin ignored him as he raises his leg up high and kicks Malakor in head so hard that it crush all the bones in body and broke the entire half of that mansion as well as ground next to the Masion.
Sir Alaric helps Cyrus outside his cage and takes the crystal to destroy it. All the teams regrouped at the front gate and said that they would meet at the bar tomorrow morning. The knights were about to approach the mansion, so Sir Alaric summons his knight's amour and wears it and tells the team to escape fast.
The next morning both parties show up in the bar with weapons, Sir Alaric and V.S Darwin sit at the table while everyone else stands behind at their respective sides. Sir Alaric said, "I am Going to come straight out, I know that your organisation is going to war with gods in the future with the past of V.S Darwin, but I also Know that your organization is a good one with goals to help people and kill the villains like Malakor, So I propose that we combine our Organization, we have all the technology and money whereas your organization has the power, I already spoke with all the members of my organization and they all agreed to support your cause and my family also have something against the gods as well, so do you accept."
V.S Darwin laughs and then said, "well after this mission where you guys help us get our Cyrus back how could I say no, I accept your offer but for now let's make it an alliance until my co-leader shows up and agrees."
Everyone celebrates and enjoys the success of the mission and the union of both organization.
