Chapter 15
Villus- oh? How do you plan on winning killing me wont save you remember
Cassius- I have my ways
Villus- this is your end we need you dead
Cassius- why is that?
Villus- I'm not telling you Cassius
Cassius- I've tricked you Villus
Villus- how?
Cassius- I have an ability that reverses all effects done to me
Cassius walks out of the bubble of mana
Cassius- your force field is invincible and you we're killing off my blood cells but I was in contact with your mana for over an hour that's the rule I have on my ability all effects have been reversed you can no longer leave that bubble of mana unless I allow it
Villus- I see I sent this information to someone so next time someone comes to kill you they have more information on you
Cassius- your body is slowly dying and you still are loyal to your cause.. I respect it.. goodbye Villus pho
Cassius leaves as Villus dyes slowly eventually becoming but a corpse and the bubble of mana disappears
Merlin and Mercy proceed to the lower layer
Merlin- this layer looks different there are city's and a huge castle
Mercy- I've never been below the first floor when me and Dante were younger if only be around the first floor
Merlin- he is very different from a demon.. but he's not like a person or fallen Angel ether
Mercy- he is.. it's not easy to explain..
Skip (the flying knight dragon) lands on the castle. A knight in dark blue armor comes out with a long katana
Mercy- we're looking for Dante cold you give us some directions?
Lee (the blue knight)- my king Percy warned me of you
Lee slashed his katana at Mercy
Mercy- YOU SON OF A-
Mercy's mana turns into his armor and great sword
Mercy- Ten slashes!
10 slashes at a fast pace go across the knight with intent to kill
Merlin- I'm just looking for my arm maybe next time don't be so quick to attack
Lee- you thought a mere mana sword could pierce my armor
Mercy- What?
Lee- demon slice!
Mercy is slashed across his body bleeding at an alarming rate
Merlin- YOU GOD DAM-
Mercy- Leave this guy to me Merlin..
Mercy's scar begins to heal
Merlin- what? But-
Mercy- Just go DAMNIT!
Merlin- Okay… You got this Mercy
Mercy- Thanks go kick whoever's ass you have to kick..
Just then Crescent Fair and Guvo show up
Mercy- GUVO?!
Guvo- How are you here Mercy?
Mercy- my father gave me this
Fair- is that a?
Crescent- it's a flying knight likely the last one
Mercy- and your on a crazy rare dragon as well an Executioner isn't common at all
Fair- I sense Merlin.. where is he?
Mercy- he went in the castle
Crescent- that's not good.. well I'm heading in there to save my son
Guvo- I'm gonna go in too
Fair- I must go in to see Merlin once again
The dragon lands on although it's massive it doesn't compare to the size of the castle
Mercy- I'm going to continue fighting here I'll meet you all inside
Lee- you think you can just storm Percy's castle?
Mercy- HELL YEAH!
Cassius Fair and Guvo head into the tower.
Deep in the castle Merlin resides with only his right arm
Merlin- PERCY!! WHERE ARE YOU SO I CAN FIGHT YOU MYSELF
Far away Percy sends 2 of his men to attack Merlin
Sue- I see so you're the boy with that monstrous mana Percy warned us about
Lassus- Merlin I've heard about you from my father..
Merlin- who is your father?
Lassus- Eliot pho is my father I am Lassus
Lassus was a gloomy tired looking boy with white mana
Sue Raven was a taller man with white hair and it looked as if he had the same mana as Honor pure mana
Sue- we must kill this boy.. He is against Dante so he is against Percy
Lassus- I'm sorry Merlin I have to fight you..
Merlin- Damn 2 on one (they look much more experienced than Yuzu and Raven were there definitely stronger than them… can I beat them?)
Sue- pure light!
An attack fazed through Merlin's body paralyzing him forcing him to kneel down
Merlin- what the hell is this (Damn that attack was too fast for me I've surpassed tremendous speeds but this atttack… it has to be faster than light)
Sue- I'm sure by now you realized that light attack was faster than light
Merlin- Why do you have to mention it?
Sue- to install fear in your heart
Merlin- huh?
Lassus- Merlin… in a battle fear means everything.. It can decide the winner and looser of a battle. It can force a person to loose with fear alone.. or make a person win..
Merlin- SHUT THE HELL UP IM NOT AFRAID
Merlin starts slowly being able to walk step by step towards them
Sue- WHAT THE HELL?…
Lassus- h..how is he able to move not even Dante could move after you showed him that attack..
Merlin with a horrific smile on his face
Merlin- I am fear… I am the darkness that surrounds.. I am the infinite
The room starts becoming bright then dim over and over rapidly as Mercy's haunting laughter can be heard from the halls throughout the castle
Lassus- emperor reborn!
The room immediately gets Inclosed in white mana
Merlin- what the hell is this now?
Lassus- breathing it in huh? Well there toxins in my mana suppress the mana user when consumed the mana will continue to duplicate in your body using your oxygen and bloodstream and will suppress all of your mana until it is no more
Merlin- you really thought I'd be so stupid to breath in? My mana has been keeping your mana at bay
Lassus- Shit…
Sue- FEATHER OF LIGHT!
Thousands of feathers rain down
Merlin points his hand upward and blasts them away
Sue- Damn.. he's become more aware during our battle but still the speed of my feathers should've been too fast for him..
Merlin- I've adapted to it the speed of your attacks although they surpass light I surpass it
Sue- I see you're much more dangerous than I've anticipated
Outside of the castle with mercy
Lee- You and your friends will die here
Mercy- how could blue mana be so potent?
Lee- this isn't just blue mana it's amplified blue mana one of my ability's
Mercy- to amplify mana?
Lee- yes to do exactly that it takes years to master I doubt someone like you could master it though.. someone who kills for power
Mercy- kills for power? You're judging me based off of my mana?
Lee- it is red is it not? Blood mana it's sick grotesque even… only hellish things are born of such revolting mana
Mercy- I only kill those who have done wrong… You kill from orders we are completely different your bias is twisting your point of view
Lee- Where is your line? Haven't you killed to protect someone? But that someone could've done something terrible couldn't they have?… you're morals are the things that are twisted boy
Mercy- And the people you kill? What are your morals? Aren't you trying to kill me to protect another right now knowing this person is in power of this layer of the inferno?
Lee- and why does it matter that he is?
Mercy- you don't know what he has done ether
Lee- … what is your name?
Mercy- I am Mercy Cassius
Lee- I am Lee
Mercy- I guess… it shall be a battle to the death then correct?
Lee- that it shall
Back in the castle Fair and Crescent have been separated
Crescent is on a lower floor while Fair is much higher up
Crescent- I've been looking everywhere but can't find my damn kid
Percy- your son is a floor above Crescent
Crescent- …Percy…
A long time ago when Crescent was a boy he slashed Percy across the face creating Percy's scar Percy was defeated by a child and that child was an enraged Crescent
Percy- I'd rather you and Fair leave I had no idea Merlin was your son and don't want 2 destructive realm destroyers roaming my castle especially when they can destroy it in the blink of an eye
Crescent- hmm.. I found you even better I shall leave but Fair, Mercy, Lax and and Merlin will stay I have to go lower in the inferno to talk to Azazel
Percy- Azazel? Why?
Crescent- he's the only one who knows who the hellbound is I have to find out
Percy- hmm.. why is the hellbound even important?
Crescent- he can talk to the serpent of the world and give me knowledge on a certain person
Percy- fine take your leave I'll try to ask everyone else to leave as well… but I will still try and kill Merlin
Crescent- hmm.. don't underestimate my son Percy
Fair and Guvo
Guvo- where are we
Fair- it appears we are around Merlin I can tell
Guvo- what kind of unworldly sense do you have?
Fair- it is called the 6th sense I can teach it to you after this expedition Lax
Guvo- nice
A dragon lands in front of them while there are many ancient dragon types this one was different this Ancient dragon was dark covered head too toe in scars
Fair stops running
Guvo- why are we stopping it's a dragon
Fair- this isn't a normal dragon… it has no mana my 6th sense can't detect any so there can't possibly be any even if the dragon can conceal his mana I'd see it..
Guvo- so? Wouldn't that mean we can knock it out easy?
Fair- hmm… Lax use the perfect flame
Guvo- but won't that kill-
Fair- DO IT NOW LAX!
Guvo- … fine… PERFECT.. FLAME!!
Heat starts to melt the solid stone in the castle walls surrounding them the dragon stands as if nothing happened at all
Fair- it couldn't possibly be
Guvo- Fair.. how could it survive my perfect flame?…
Fair- Lax go find Merlin… I will be fighting this…
Guvo- but-
Fair- JUST GO LAX ITS UP TO YOU!
Guvo-… I trust you can handle it Fair.. I will find Merlin
Guvo runs the other direction further into the castle
Lax- so… you are a falling knight dragon.. you're species was said to be extinct hundreds of years ago.. you don't belong to this castle you were sent here by Azazel..
Falling knight- ROARRRRRR!!
A deep dangerous roar echoed through the castle everyone heard it.
Fair- we will fight and you will become mine
To Merlin
Merlin- What the hell was that?
Sue- clearly a dragon but not familiar.. you've brought Allie's?
Merlin- maybe it was Mercy's dragon
Sue- Lassus we must fight him in hand to hand combat..
Lassus- I understand
Merlin- you think hand to hand will defeat me?
Sue- we have separate mana types that will change the course of this battle using hand to hand..
Lassus puts his palms out ready to hit with the bottom of them Infusing it with white mana. Sue fallows suit using fists infusing his with pure mana
Merlin- fine
Sue- you can't handle two skilled martial artists at once.. our skills have been refined
Lassus- we must fight
Mercy outside
Lee- "huff huff" you are strong.. but I fear no man with a blade
Mercy- Blood rain…
Blood starts raining from the sky even a drop could damage anyone severely in the area but Lee's armor protects him from it
Lee- very moody
Mercy- 100 slashes..
100 slashes across Lee's body in armor but not one cuts through
Mercy- This… isn't right..
Lee- hmm?
Mercy- blue mana being this potent it's frightening.. its starting to piss me off
Lee- upset about defense?
Mercy- it's like your hiding away in that armor
Lee- aren't you wearing armor?
Mercy- 1000 slashes!
Another barrage of slashes at insane speeds hits lee
Lee- air break!
Lee slashes through the air as the slash disappears than reappears as if it teleported through the air hitting Mercy back
Mercy- DAMN..
LEE- I've created almost undodgable attacks this battle was over before it began
