11/5/1865 5:20 pm codex realm human calendar centered around the birth of the human god illiaden.
Author note:time is counted at twenty four hours just like earth for this calendar just that the events here take place twenty minutes earlier.
And yes I'm just being too lazy to create a whole new time system and translate it right now anyway.
Numia stood in front of the master of the various apostles everol staring him down."Release hilt from your bind and free that child truly despicable what people like you will do for power."
"Please child tamashi may come from the soul but where i was from it got the name voudaju for a reason because only those depraved and evil enough could ascend to godhood despite the risk.
It is the powers of those who are blessed but can only be used to its full extent by sinners those of us who casted away god and will use it to forge the world to our whims."
"That is the talk of a loser voudaju is a philosophy on how to fight not how to live if you can't win without being a child trafficker you don't have what it takes to be a master and I will put you down not as an angel but as a fighter."
"Oh please don't lecture me on how to live because afterall every person here are sinners just like me you're all just sinners who stole seats in heaven."
"You're right now of us here are perfect but that was never a part of the criteria."
Hundreds of ice spikes then flew at numia who waved her hand as all the spikes seemingly were destroyed upon coming close to numia.
A massive blade of darkness then flew at numia who's eyes turned purle.The blade stopped mid air seemingly being blocked by an invisible blade.
Hilt appeared behind her as an invisible glass structure that protected her body was shattered by hilts blade.But the space around her back bended like rubber stopping hilts blade.
Numia grabbed the rubertized sky strecting it around her fist and slamming a punch into hilts gut.But the transformed space froze shattering as thee liitle appeared above numia.
The girl sent a wave of fire towards numia who tugged the space behind her appearing in front of ryo and amaro and stopping a spike of darkness from piercing their heads.
Her left arm was then sliced off by hilt's blade as the children clenched onto ryo and amaro."Run now ."Before either man could respond a massive serpent made of darkness rushed to devour them.
Anaro slammed his fist into the ground as the four of them sunk into the wet soil.But the serpent immediately burrowed under the ground following behind a ball of earth amaro made.
The serpent slammed into the ball of earth destroying it and immediately coiling around amro's neck.The little girl jumped over towards ryo in fear who grabbed the snake's tail trying to burn it.
But the snake grew larger as it constricted around amaro's neck crushing his head but instead of blood shocjs splattered out from his throat.
The real amaro then flew out from the left side of the make shift tunnel.A magma hand made from both amaro's earth manipulation and ryo's flames grabbed the serpent dragging it deeper underground.
Droplets of water then fell on ryo's face."Amaro cover us now."A massive wave of water sweeeped over them throughout the tunnel.
But amaro created a ball of earth which used the water as a booster to launch them out of the ground a wave of water following behind them.
Hilt sliced up the ball of earth cleaving of ryo's leg and amaro's left hand in the process."Sir are you akay?"The little girl asked with fear.
Ryo griited his teeth as a staff kade of flames appeared in his hand.He then parried hilts blade but his right arm instantly froze over as it shattered instantly.
Hilt then sent a kick towards him but a rope made of earth flew from amaro's palj grabbing ryo and the little girl a pulling tgem towards tgem.
"We're completely outmatched, we're just canon fodder, stop trying to fight and just run!"shouted amaro as he watched Ryo's arms slowly heal.
Suddenly earth gauntlets then attached to ryo's hand as amaro handed him the little boy."I know what your thinking i'm not some child i won't leave you to kill yourself your a father too."
"Ryo i don't know what's going on if it's all a dream or i relapsed but if we run we die if we stay were a burden so i'll be bait so you can save these kids."
"Idiot, what about your daughter? I'm not letting another father sacrifice their life for me. I got nothing going back to "I should have died last night."
"Stop being an idiot, someone will arrive soon. I'll just buy time for you to hide the children. "Hearing amaro say this in a low voice ryo nodded his head and ran away.
But suddenly a veil of darkness surrounded the area the edge of it being directly in front of amaro."You ants aren't going anywhere." Said the girl as she raised her hand causing hundreds of light beams to rain down on them.
But the space around them twisted redirecting the light beams to the apostle master.Who immediately teleported hilt in front of him to take the attacks.
Which caused numia to grit her teeth as she bended space to destroy the light beams.Several ice glaciers then fell from the sky down at numia.
But the giant glacier stopped mid air bursting into small ice spikes which flew past numia.The apostle master then raised his hand as a massive black dragon appeared behind him.
"Numia go get help i can't supply you for much longer i'll go insane."said a voice from inside numia's head."I know but i have to buy time for the others."said numia to the voice in her head.
The dragon opened its mouth as black mist flew towards numia.Who held out her hand as the mist was immediately stopped and forcibly transformed into a cube like shape.
A giant claw flew from the ground straight towards numia's chest.Numia punched the claw shattering it."Water gods technique receding tides."
A giant tide of water shaped into a slash flew at numia cleaving thrlught the earth and causing a massive earthquake in the area.
Numia moved to evade the attack but the little girl's eyes flashed purple as she froze.I see theirs a cardigan fused with you unluckily for you I'll be taking that.
Numia barely managed to create an invisible barrier but it was still shattered but this weakened the wave enough for her to not have been cleaved in half.
The girl raised her hand as numia screamed in pain.But amaro and ryo grabbed the girl disrupting her concentration but before they could do anything more their arms and legs were severed by hilt's blade which caused them to fall down to the ground bleeding out.
"I didn't even see him move and Angelo is supposedly stronger than him. What kind of unfairness exists in this world and me, a person considered strong is just a foot soldier to them."
These thoughts rang through Ryo's head as anger filled his face."Help help!"Ryo and Amaro barely managed to turn their heads as they saw hilt standing over the children.
While the girl held a purple card in hand while the apostle master held numua's neck."I see you were part of experiment 00X and it seems you're a failure considering the damage to your soul left you unable to use voudaju."
"I found out how your powers work i won't let you play on my past trauma."said numia with a defiant look in her eyes."You a cardigan forged by that bastard you will do nicely in the collection."
Suddenly the girl screamed holding her head as she fell to her needs dropping the card as severe burns were now present on the hand of the girl,
The girl coughed out blood."Master master i'm fine i can still fight i'm not useless."said the girl hearing this numia spat in the apostle masters face which was covered by his cloak's hoad.
"Spit on me all you want i know what i am a bastard a spawn of the devil a monster you are not the first to look at me like that and you will not be the last but even if i am a sinner no one will tell me that i cannot be saved for what i am doing is righteus because i may not be the savior the world wants or needs but i am the judge it gets."
The apostle master then looked towards the girl."I do not use faulty product she cannot fight and she cannot bare the children i need as yet so i will take them back to the lab and combine junk to create gold."
Suddenly the purple card erupted with energy transforming into a mime-like creature which wore a blank mask to cover its face and its clothes was that of a mime but he also wore a black and white cloak which covered his entire body only revealing his big white gloves.
The mime picked up the girl as the mask on its face contorted forming a sad look.Ryo and amaro whose wounds were now healed were confused on why hilt had suddenly frozen.
But were even more bewildered by the sudden appearance of the mime."Cardigan that thing may be a failed product but it's my failed product. Place it down, kill it if you wish, I don't really need it alive."
"How can you say that about a child!"But the instant ryo said this hilt lunged at him about to cleave off hus head but amaro pushed him back causing hilts slash to miss.
But hilt spun mid air and kicked amaro in the face, launching him away."Little ant do not get to judge me how can a person who has so little worth dare to try and impose their will onto the world."
As soon as the apostle master said that numia slammed her heel on the ground as her shadow extended causing the mime to refuse with her.But before the fusion could complete the black dragon opened its mouth as a massive acidic mist flew at numia.
Ryo caught the young girl as he stared at hilt who was coming towards him.Ryo then started to glow as the acidic breath was pulled towards him and hilt.
He then tossed the girl over to amaro who's face was all bloodied he grabged hilt for the brief moment he was distracted."It seems you have to be manually controlled."
Hilt easily threw amaro off him as a breath of frost blocked the acidic breath of darkness.Numia then appeared behind hilt grabbing his head as hilt's body completely froze in place.
Hilt wasn't really frozen; he was trapped in an invisible confined space that stopped him from moving.The apostle dragon then dashed towards numia, slicing its claws down at her neck.
But she held up her hand stopping the dragons claw as the ground beneath her cracked."Okay i think it's time to end this ."The apostle master's voudaju then increased drastically as a whip appeared in his hand
His hood flew off revealing a pitch black mask which revealed his red eyes acroos tye mask was a broad demonic smile."You have a fragment of the evil master set."
No girl, I have all fragments of the demonic master set."A whip then flew from the girl's neck as she was about to be forcefully yanked from amaro who instantly realized if he pulled her back she would be decapitated.
"Earth switch" the girl was then switched with a human sized rock."Alright you ants have gone too far to learn your place in this world."From the apostle master's shadow immerged a tall elven man with red eyes white hair ahd oale skin.
The elven man held a curved blade and beside him was and eight headed orc holding a green rune.The elven man then swiftly vanished appearing behind ryo.
Who immediately dropped to the ground barely avoiding the slash if he had hair he would have gone bald right then and their.Amaro stopped his feet on the soil about to drag ryo towards him.
"You two are weak but have so much combat experience so you can out maneuver my puppets but an ant who can run is still an ant."The five headed ork then lifted up the rune as it starred to glow.
Amaro then fell to the ground weakily as he started to cough up blood several boils starting to appear on his body.The ork them appeared before ryo lifting his feet about to crush his head.
But numia rubberized space dragging both men and the little girl towards her.But the instant she was distracted liquid mercury flew from the controlled elven man.
The mercury hardened creating mercury spikes and percing her left shoulder barely missing her heart due her side stepping at the right moment.
"That ogre has disease manipulation and that elf is at least my level or a little weaker and i only have ten minutes of usage left where the hell is my back up."said numia to herself as she panted heavily.
"Where are the children?"asked numia."Their in an underground tunnel unfortunately the barrier goes too deep underneath the ground to drill out."said amaro
"Hand me the girl."Why you aren't planning to use her as a bargaining chip? He doesn't even care about her."said ryo to numia in confusion."No just give her to me."
Ryo handed the girl to numia as the ogre,the dragon and the elf man froze in place upon the apostle master's command."So you couldn't find another dna strong enough to make them stable."
"No but I think I'll just fuse them all and create the perfect dog for my plans."How can someone be so aware of their actions yet so no remorse how can yoh say that about that child!"Shouted ryo.
"Hush cockroach wait,those clothes, it couldn't be those specific brands. Who the hell are you two cockroaches?"The apostle master narrowed his eyes as he tapped his head.
"My theory is correct that in that castle is my way back ofcourse i was right, he's nothing but a fake!"A look of confusion appeared on everyone's face especually ryo and amaro.
Hilt then broke Numia's bind as a purple wing flew from his back."Bad move old man."Hilts eyes then flashed purple as he froze in place but a moment later started to look around in confusion.
"Lady numia what happened?"asked hilt.The eleven man dashed at hilt launching two horizontal slashes at his torso and neck.But hilt immediately parried the slashes while blocking a punch sent to his head by the ogre.
Hilt then backflipped over the ogre about to cleave off all of its heads in one fell swoop but from its back flew several parasitic worms which immediately froze upon getting in a five inch radius of hilt.
Several spikes of earth came from the ogre's back as from the tips of the spike a a compressed wave of dust was launched which caused hilt to fly back out the way.
The dust hit a nearby three instantly disintegrating it.Hilt landed next to numia who had an annoyed look on her face."If it wasn't for me freezing you so he'd draw on more of you're power and force you to transform yu would be a puppet right now."
"Why are you holding a child who are those guys and why is their a veil above us!"Numia sighed and shook her head"You're hopeless."
Pocoloa,shen and erina stood in front a blond man with yellow eyes. He had sharp fangs and ears that resembled that of a wolf in his hand. He held a piece of meat as he stared at the three young angels with a bored expression on his face.
The three stood in front a large white building guarding the entry."Really is this really the fighting sprit i get to devoure today hopefully you three aren't as weak as you look."
The man grew to over eight feet tall, his robe tearing as fur engulfed his body."Lets see you handle thirty percent."Bring it on mut."Erina's statement caused the wolf man to smile.
"Oh a fiesty elf, let's see how you speak when I take your ears for part of my collection and devour you. Maybe if you cause enough trouble I'll use my cardigan."
Pocoloa then started to grow as well as fur started to cover his body as well.
