Chapter 63
All just look at Ark, not believing what they heard, how is that possible? Since when did she have something from him? If that is true, then they need to figure something out. And fast. They can't let Ark be cursed, anyone else can be, but he is not allowed.
But they see him smiling not a care in the world. He then says;
"It seems that Raelion was more prepared than i thought, he was the one who gave Hollow something that was mine. It seems his hatred for me is even greater than i thought."
Kyle after thinking for a little he says;
"You mean to say that he gave something really valuable something that you didn't think he would give up?"
Ark answers;
"Yeah, when i killed Anora i used my twin swords. And unfortunately, i lost one of them in the fight, Raelion was the one who was given the sword, because it is a really powerful sword, he got it as a payment for his daughter. Now it seems Hollow has it."
The others look at him and then all think the same thing and Zmaug says what is on everyone's mind;
"Ok, but what do we do now? Because the more you are without your powers, the bigger the chances that something will go wrong."
But Ark smiles and says;
"You don't have to worry about me, even if i can't use my powers anymore. I still have my body, i can still fight, and honestly i prefer it more like this. Now i can let loose a little bit."
They are looking at him like at a madman, who would be glad that they lost their powers? But he really looks like he doesn't care. When the others see his calm demeanor and the nonchalant attitude they also calm down. Then the others turn their heads towards the incoming soul soldiers, and now these can also hurt them.
They fly towards the incoming enemies again, but Ark turns his head somewhere else, then he smiles, and starts flying, after going for a few thousands km, he stops in an empty space, he looks in front of him and says;
"Hello Hollow, it's been a long time, how have you been? I hope you are not still angry at me for dumping you, you know i had to do it. Or else you would've also had problems with the Celestials."
Then he feels the space around him trembling, an angry aura that could destroy the entire Universe is leaking from the space in front of him. But he only smiles and doesn't say anything anymore. Then he sees the pocket space opening and he goes inside.
There he sees Hollow with her arms crossed and looking at him with murderous eyes. If stares could kill, he would've died a thousand times already. But he starts walking towards her, keeping his nonchalant attitude, then she also gets up and her aura starts rising. Then some ghosts like monsters appear behind her screaming in pain, and wanting to escape from her, but her aura flares again and she says;
"Curse of Gluttony, Curse of Wrath, Curse of Greed."
And immediately three of the ghosts from behind her, appear in front of her, but now with normal bodies, that look like someone mixed mud with body parts and Gelly, to make these monsters. But the aura that they give is no joke, it could be at the level of Morven, that means one of those gross looking monsters are at the Dimensions Rulers Level. Ark stops when he sees the monsters, and says;
"Do you really need to be like this, why can't we just talk?"
But when she hears him, she starts to get even angrier, she screams;
"What is there to talk about, i have a contract for your head, and that is what i will do, so stop these lovey dovey things that you are doing, you won't fool me again."
Then the monsters look at Ark with their black like night eyes, that look like a blackhole. Then Ark starts to feel his body really hungry. And because of that he also starts to become angry. And then greed tops everything up. He now has his emotions amplified thousands of times. Then immediately the monsters attack him, from their bodies some tentacles like an octopus appear, some tentacles fly towards the head, some the chest, some the legs. But Ark looks with angry eyes towards the monsters, then he punches so fast that after images remain in the air, the punches stopping the tentacles to approach him. But then he feels his emotions getting even worse. And that affects his thinking and the response time, after a few moments a tentacle slips between his punches and hits his chest, that sends him flying like a rocket, he hits the wall of the pocket Dimension, and he feels the hit, it hurts.
But before he manages to even look up, the tentacles are already upon him. He thinks, 'it would be simple to avoid these, if i had my powers to teleport. But we can only work with what is given to us.'
He lets his head to the right side, and a tentacle hits just where his head was like a spear, then he slides towards the right side and avoids the tentacles that would have impaled his body. He says while running;
"I'm really starting to become angry, and i think you know what happens when I'm really angry. Stop, or else i will make you stop. And you won't like my way."
Hollow looks at him and for a second, she wants to stop, but then her anger takes control;
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? You don't have your powers anymore; you can't do anything to me. I will win."
Then she also starts walking towards him, and she takes a whip out that is made of silver metal, with a claw that looks like an eagle claw. If it catches, it will take a piece of meet with it, no doubt about it. She strikes towards him and the whip flies like a missile; the whip follows Ark like it has infrared seeking, and it bends like a snake. In a few moments he will be hit if he doesn't do anything. Plus, the tentacles are also almost upon him. Then he hears Hollow say something;
"Ark Ember. esruCfodabkcul."
Immediately Ark feels like the whole Universe is against him, he feels that at every step something is going to happen. Then immediately something does happen, his shoe breaks, that never happen before, because he was using his aura to keep them protected. But now with the curse of bad luck, something small can become life threating. Because of the shoe he slips exactly when he wanted to use the whip to hit one of the tentacles, but now the claw of the whip hits him, and takes a big chunk of his shoulder muscles, the whip was heading towards the head but at the last moment he turned a little and that saved his head. He is flung away by the strength of the strike; he finds himself again against the pocket Dimension Wall.
He hears Hollow laughing, feeling good about herself. He also starts laughing, and says;
"Everything that is going to happen from now on, it's your fault."
He gets up and the wound already healing, in a few moments he is completely healed. Then a scary smile appears on his lips, and Hollow feels something wrong.
Just because his powers were sealed, that doesn't mean that his bodily powers were. His body was the one who held all of those powers inside, and not only that it also managed to keep them in check every time. His greatest power is not his many different powers, his greatest power is his body, that is what he relies on.
He then just disappears from his spot, then she sees him behind the Curse Gluttony, with something in his hand. He looks better and sees the core of her curse; it's a string of writings and Ark just destroys it. Then the monster just dissapears into a puff of black smoke. The others two send their tentacles towards him, but he just punches, and the tentacles are destroyed like ballons. He appears behind the Curse of Wrath and does the same thing, then he flies towards the Curse of Greed and it punches through him destroying the string, it also disappears in a puff of black smoke.
He turns towards Hollow and says;
"I see you still have these weaker versions of the sins from me. And you still say that you only want my head?"
Hollow looks in those half red half black eyes and she knows that she won't have a chance against him, 'I sealed his powers and still, I'm not able to beat him'
Then she sees those eyes right in front of her, like he teleported. But he takes her by the hair on the back of her head and pulls it back, she winches in pain but doesn't say anything. Then she watches as Ark approaches closer and closer, and he kisses her. Her brain fried, she forgets to even breath. But then she also responds back, and clothes start flying.
