Riven shot forward like a bullet, his speed so fast that Luke could barely react. Luke stretched out his hands and tendrils shot out in all directions—an area of effect attack to take down Riven.
But Riven was too fast, dodging every one easily. He leaped into the air, got a perfect shot lined up, and then he used it—Fla Blast.
The attack hurled through the air and slamd straight into Luke. The explosion followed, and his body was hurled across the forest like a sack of potatoes.
Riven landed on the ground. Not wasting a single mont, he shot forward.
"I have to stop being sorry for myself, being a pathetic sack of at. My past life is no longer ," Riven muttered. He smashed his blade in rapid succession, firing fla arcs, each one hitting Luke, and an explosion followed.
"I’m Riven Von Grave, and it’s ti I finally stop being a fucking trauma ball," Riven said. He was tired of himself, tired of the fact that every single ti, he blad himself for things he had no control over.
His past on Earth, and his life here. Sure, he was the one that made Luke not get into the academy, but Luke wasn’t strong enough, Riven was.
It was never Riven’s fault that Luke was weak, so even if part of it was Riven’s fault, he wasn’t going to allow it to be a distraction.
"I’m tired of saying sorry all the ti, so no more apologies for the way I live, no more," Riven said, his eyes narrowing into slits, burning blue with flas as he leaped into the air.
"Inferno Domain!" he called out as the domain ford, encompassing Luke. He locked eyes with Luke, who was riddled with serious burns, and without a word, he used Fla Blast.
The size of the attack was several tis bigger. The fla burned the air around, it shined like a small sun.
BOOOOOOOOM
The attack landed. The explosion followed—massive and completely destructive, leaving a huge crater and a completely burnt-up Luke in the middle of it.
Riven landed on the ground and deactivated his state of "The One Loved by Chaos" with only ten seconds left.
As he did, the pain from the wound in his stomach returned. He gritted his teeth, and without choice, he stretched out his hand toward the body of the boy that had been killed, and the boy’s blood flowed out and wrapped around Riven’s hand before moving to heal his wounds completely.
Sofia was stunned when she saw Riven use blood, but she didn’t say anything. She knew that since he had never shown it before, it ant he was hiding it, so she would help him keep it that way.
She ran over to him and grabbed him. "Are you alright?" she asked, her voice slightly quivering, she was really worried for him.
"I’m fine," he responded, and she followed up with a hug imdiately, a tight hug around his neck. But as her head rested on his shoulder, her eyes widened, panic written on her face. She spun around imdiately.
Riven was confused why, but the realization also hit when he turned, but it was too late.
STAB
A tendril stabbed through Sofia, her lower back and into her abdon. The tendril pulled out and returned back to Luke, who was standing there, his charred body slowly healing.
Riven looked at Sofia in shock. He was frozen in place with her in his arms, blood pouring from her body endlessly and a little from her mouth.
Sohow, she smiled at him rather than grimace in pain. She looked him right in the eye, and for the first ti, Riven didn’t see a calm and calculated gaze or a cold glare, he saw a genuine soft light in her eyes. Eyes that a girl would have when she was truly happy.
"Y...you owe ," she managed to say with a smile before she collapsed. Riven held her, refusing to let her fall. The blood had stained him, but he refused to let go.
Her heart was still beating, there was still ti. He had to take her away. He held her in one hand and took off his uniform top with the other, ripping it with his teeth and hand, then using it to tie her up quickly.
He knew she needed treatnt imdiately, but there was no way he could walk away if Luke was standing there.
"You aren’t going to die, I promise. I’ll get you out of this place even if it kills , I promise you, Sofia," he said, eyes red and hands shaking as he ran his finger across her face.
He placed her down by a tree and took out a low-grade healing potion, the only one he had and fed it to her. It wouldn’t heal her, but it would help, and he needed all the help he could get now.
When he was done, he gripped his sword and turned to face Luke, who was half-healed now.
Luke looked him in the eyes. "Look at her..... bleeding like trash because of you, everything you touch turns to rot" Luke said.
"ENOUGH!" Riven roared, his voice stunning even Luke.
"You did this. This wasn’t about , you just love screams, You’re a sick monster" Riven spat. He looked up slowly, gripping his sword tighter.
"But you crossed the line when you touched her. I’ll burn heaven and hell for those I love, because I will not stand to lose them," he said.
"Hahahahaha, are you done crying? Or should of wait while you write a poem, huh?" Luke taunted and began laughing.
"I’ll kill you," Riven said.
BOOM.
He vanished—activating the remaining ten seconds of his ability. He moved extrely fast. This ti Luke couldn’t even respond at all. All he saw was a blade co out of nowhere for his neck.
And behind that blade were two blazing eyes, and the only thing Luke could think of at that mont was:
"Devil."
