— Let's see how far all your confidence takes you — Kirk said with a serious and confident look.
— Confidence isn't necessary; my victory is certain. Let's get this over with, for I must devour the two remaining kingdoms of this planet and all their inhabitants. — Aztrofi said with a look of absolute superiority.
— Who do you think you are? — Kewa asked.
— My name is Aztrofi, I am the God of Darkness and the most powerful being in the entire universe. All universes will know true chaos and destruction by my hands. I have already consumed the beings of all planets in this universe; all that remains is to finish things on this planet and thus create a universe of only shadows. And after this one, I will go to other universes to do the same. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! — Aztrofi declared, floating above them with his legs crossed, as if sitting in the air.
— As if we'd let that happen! — Kirk said, gripping his swords tightly.
[ABOUT THE 4]
Kirk uses two swords and possesses strength far beyond normal, in addition to having dimensional magic. Even with a lack of affinity, this power somehow works in his battles.
Kannes uses a large sword and a shield that can combine, creating a shield with superior defense to any other existing type of defense.
Kana is the most powerful mage in all of Turfazia. She possesses infinite mana, almost instant regeneration, the ability to use all types of magic, and the skill to create new spells.
Kewa has a magical bow that, in exchange for all her mana, has become extremely powerful, capable of shooting various magical arrows imbued with different magics.
All of them had an eye symbol on their foreheads since their appearance, and what is known about it is that it is a very ancient seal that holds immense power.
[BACK TO TURFAZIA]
— I hope things get interesting — Aztrofi said, dark energy emanating from his body.
Kirk leaps with all his might from the ground—instantly appearing behind Aztrofi and striking him repeatedly at high speed. However, it was in vain, as Aztrofi dodged so quickly that only his temporary after-image was hit, turning into smoke and disappearing.
— {Huh, where is he...?} — Kirk thought.
— BEHIND YOU! — Kana shouted.
Aztrofi appeared behind Kirk at the exact moment his temporary after-image was attacked. With a terrifying smile, he struck him with one of his hands imbued with dark magic. The blow was so powerful that it caused a massive explosion, destroying a gigantic area and creating a deafening shockwave, heard by the inhabitants of both kingdoms despite the distance.
— Haaah, that was just a weak blow! — Aztrofi yawned, bored.
— Poor worm — Aztrofi said, looking at the ground.
— Oh, so you're next, huh? I hope you're better than him, otherwise I might end up pitying you and killing you all faster than I imagined — Aztrofi said, looking at Kewa.
— WHAT DID YOU DO, YOU BASTARD! — Kewa shouted, extremely irritated.
— {This guy's power is extraordinary, but I'm sure he won't be able to escape my attack} — Kewa thought.
Kewa whispers a few words to her bow, creating over a thousand colorful magic circles around her and a small circle in front of the bow.
— This looks fun — Aztrofi said, smiling.
Kewa takes a colorful magic arrow that appears floating in the air beside her and, upon placing it in her bow and firing it, hits the small magic circle, connecting to all the circles that shoot arrows of all elements at extraordinary speed. The mana contained in each arrow was so great that they resembled beams of light heading towards Aztrofi.
— This low-level magic might work on others, but against me, it's just a light show — Aztrofi said, gracefully dodging all the arrows.
Until an arrow with light magic hits one of the strands of his long black hair.
— Tsk! {So they are capable of using light magic} — Aztrofi thought.
Kannes tries to create a gravitational barrier around Aztrofi the moment he lets his guard down, to diminish his power and speed, but it was useless. A snap of Aztrofi's fingers was enough to destroy the barrier.
— My turn — Aztrofi said.
— Black Prison!
Aztrofi made dark energy emerge from his own body, heading towards Kannes, immobilizing him and slowly consuming his vital energy.
Kana, seeing this, immediately casts one of her strongest spells.
— Solar Blades!
Numerous blades float around Aztrofi at a certain distance, forming a circle. Being made of combined fire and light magic, their appearance was like that of the sun, making all the darkness of the environment vanish, as if night was turning into day.
— So she can use light magic too. That's a problem, but not a big one — Aztrofi said, smiling.
By doing this, she cut the negative flow around Kannes, freeing him from the black prison. At the same instant, Kana raises her hand and lowers it forcefully, pointing at Aztrofi and sending all those blades towards him, hitting him from all sides and creating more blades simultaneously to continue that cycle until Aztrofi was completely destroyed.
Everyone hears screams coming from within that large sphere, but they stop...
— HAHAHAHAHA, you are pathetic! Even if your techniques are good, they are not capable of destroying me. Even if you manage to injure me a little, THEY WILL STILL BE INSIGNIFICANT! — Aztrofi shouted with a horrifying voice, eyes wide open and pupils turning completely purple, releasing purple lightning bolts circulating within his iris.
— IN RESPECT FOR YOUR GREAT FEAT OF CAUSING ME MINOR WOUNDS, I SHALL GIVE YOU A FINE SHOW! — Aztrofi declared.
Aztrofi places his four hands in front of his chest, creating a black sphere with a purple core, sucking all of Kana's magic.
— {He sucked my magic?} — Kana thought.
— What delicious magic! I'm sure you all will be too. I'm eager to consume you — Aztrofi said with a wide grin revealing sharp teeth and a piercing, menacing gaze.
That black sphere returns into Aztrofi, and he creates four spheres, each above one of his hands. Upon clapping them together in front of his abdomen, he causes a massive black explosion, consuming everything in its path, from the remains of dead soldiers and their armor to the very ground near the site.
— What is that? Even the colors are disappearing! — Kannes exclaimed.
The energy expanded and approached the three.
— Where's Kirk? — Kana asked.
— I don't know, but I'm sure he can take care of himself. After all, he's our leader. He wouldn't die because of this; he was just caught off guard — Kannes said.
— I hope you're right — Kana said.
— Get behind me! I will combine my sword and shield to protect us and destroy this magic before it spreads throughout Turfazia! — Kannes ordered.
Kannes combines his sword and shield, creating a more powerful shield.
— Ultimate Shield!
This shield absorbed all magic, energy, or impact and converted it into defensive energy. It was an indestructible protection, or so he thought...
The negative energy began to be sucked into the shield, which started to crack.
— {What? But this technique is unbeatable! No one has ever managed to crack this shield!} — Kannes thought.
— Guys, I think...
The shield managed to absorb all that negative energy, but it broke, exploded, and a large amount of energy hit the three, causing them to lose consciousness.
— Interesting. I always annihilated life forms on planets with this power, but it seems they somehow managed to defend against this attack. It was a failed defense, but at least they managed to delay the destruction of this planet a little — Aztrofi said, approaching the three to consume their bodies.
Inside the huge hole left in the ground, Kirk gets up and puts his hand on his forehead, feeling sharp pains.
— What is this? Has that dark magic contaminated me? — Kirk asked.
The dark magic had affected his body, and his third eye appeared cracked in the middle, almost destroyed.
— What are these memories? And why is this power gushing from this eye like a river? — Kirk asked, hand on his forehead.
A blue energy begins to flow through Kirk's body, who floats and senses his companions in danger.
That same eye appears on the foreheads of the other three, allowing a connection between them, even at a certain distance.
Kirk grabs his two swords, bathed in blue energy and dimensional magic, and rushes at full speed towards Aztrofi, who was distracted with the other three. As Aztrofi's dark energy almost covers them, Kirk appears behind him.
— Dimensional Space-Time Slash!
Kirk, with a swing of his sword, creates a cube around Aztrofi's temporal image, trapping it inside and unleashing countless blows against the frozen image in the cube.
— You wasted such a technique on a mere temporal image? Although you are more powerful, I see you've become less intelligent — Aztrofi said.
— I know that if I used it against you, you'd escape, but if we're going to talk, let it be by using our weapons in battle — Kirk said, pointing his two swords at Aztrofi.
— Hahaha, it seems something interesting is about to happen — Aztrofi said.
The moment Aztrofi goes to attack, he feels something strange... Kirk claps his two swords together, releasing Aztrofi's temporal image, which rushes towards him and suffers all the damage the image endured, separating all his limbs from his body.
— WHAT?! — Aztrofi shouted, a little startled to see his limbs separate.
At this exact moment, Kirk unleashes numerous dimensional slashes towards Aztrofi, completely destroying his body.
— This is for the generals, for the soldiers, and for my siblings! — Kirk said.
After this intense battle, Kewa, Kana, and Kannes stand up, feeling strange, with scrambled memories in their minds and unable to understand what is happening. However, they realize that their powers are much stronger and their weapons are more powerful.
— Kirk, what happened? — Kewa asked.
— While you were resting, I destroyed Aztrofi all by myself! — Kirk said.
— Hey, stop messing with us! We weren't resting; we were passed out! — Kana complained, pouting, angry with Kirk.
— I was just kidding, hahaha! — Kirk laughed.
— Let's return to the kingdom. We must report everything that happened here to the king — Kannes said.
— That is, if he hasn't already seen the fight with his all-seeing eye — Kewa said.
— Guys, are you feeling something strange too? — Kana asked.
— Now that you mention it, something doesn't feel right — Kirk said.
Looking back, they notice a barrier growing, causing everything to lose its color.
— No way! Didn't you say you destroyed him? — Kannes asked, apprehensive.
— Yes, I destroyed him dimensionally! There's no escaping that destruction, unless... Wait, it's not possible. Remember when we were listening to the king's conversation with our mentors? Could this body of his have been just a vessel? — Kirk said, startled.
— YOU REALLY MANAGED TO ANNOY ME! THIS BODY HAS NEVER BEEN DESTROYED SINCE I POSSESSED IT. IT NEVER NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. HOWEVER, A MISERABLE BEING LIKE YOU ACTUALLY SUCCEEDED! I CONGRATULATE YOU, BUT THIS IS AS FAR AS YOU WILL GET! — Aztrofi shouted with a horrifying voice, as his body rebuilt itself.
