Luke managed to raise both hands before the sword hit, and both hands were sliced clean off. He stumbled back, he survived, but lost two arms for it. He would be able to regenerate, but would Riven allow him the ti to?
He attacked with tendrils, six of them, all targeting Riven. Riven looked up, his eyes still burning bright. He pushed forward at an almost horizontal level, like he was diving along the ground.
He went under the tendrils and then turned, an impossible move, yet he pulled it off, holding himself up with sheer grit. He slashed upward, cutting the tendrils, then he turned and lunged forward.
"Stay away from !" Luke roared and attacked with a fireball at point blank, only for Riven to leap over it, and while up in the air, attack with a fla blast.
The attack landed and threw Luke into multiple trees, ripping through them. He finally ca to a stop, but before he could even heave a sigh of relief, Riven was already in the air above.
Riven landed in front of him. Luke got ready to defend, but he didn’t expect what happened next.
"Blood Bind," Riven muttered, a skill that he had not used much. He finally did, and the next mont, Luke could not move at all.
Riven had five seconds now, five seconds to end it all. He lunged forward. Luke tried to move, but he couldn’t.
"Stooooop! I’ll kill you!" Luke roared, trying his best to get away, but he couldn’t, no matter how many tis he tried.
Riven didn’t care about Luke shouting. He only cared about killing him here and now. He used Inferno Domain so that he could amplify his attacks. He used Fla Blast at point blank range and blasted a massive hole right through Luke.
Then he ford a blood scythe and slashed up, the tip penetrating right through Luke’s head and splitting it in two. The body fell to the ground, this ti dead.
Riven collapsed to his knees, breath haggard. He was covered in sweat, his veins bulged, and his eyes were red.
"Sofia," he recalled. Getting back on his feet, he rushed toward her. He got to her side and tried to get her up.
Then he noticed so movent in the bushes. He looked up, wanting to attack, but when the person ca out, he relaxed.
It was Noel, who was followed by Chloe and Lance.
"Riven," Noel called out and rushed toward him.
"Noel." Riven had never been this happy to see his brother before, his eyes lit up. Noel looked at Sofia on the ground. He knew sothing had happened here, and adding to the fact that he heard massive explosions happening here, he knew it was sothing serious.
"What happened? All the students were running. It took Robert and the others, along with the leaders of the second years, to calm everyone down and get them together," Noel said.
"They asked that we search for you guys. That’s why we are here," Lance said.
"It was a boy, Luke. Rember the exams in the arena? It’s him. He ca for revenge, and he had so sort of crazy power.
I managed to stop him, but Sofia got hurt. She is unconscious, but still alive, so we have to take her back," Riven said.
"Alright, let’s go," Noel said, but as he took a step, a tendril shot out of the ground and latched onto his leg. Riven saw the tendril and imdiately cut through it, freeing Noel.
"He isn’t dead," Riven muttered. He looked at Chloe. "You have to take her for treatnt, please. The three of us will handle Luke," Riven said.
She nodded without argunt. She had always been nice to him through subtle actions. She was the only person that didn’t have sothing against him from the start.
She picked up Sofia, carried her oddly easily, and then she ran in the direction they ca from, leaving Lance, Noel, and Riven.
"I’ve killed him twice, and I could swear that this last ti he actually died," Riven said.
"So we’re dealing with an immortal threat that is out for revenge against you," Lance said.
"That’s pretty much it. I hope you’ll help ," Riven said.
"It’s not like I can walk away. If it kills you, it will still co for the rest of us, if I’m guessing right," Lance said.
"Yeah. Its vendetta is only a cover up it just wants death," Riven responded.
They all looked in the direction where he had killed Luke, and they saw him getting up from the ground. Only this ti, he was no longer the Luke that Riven knew. He had changed, and it wasn’t a small change, his entire existence had twisted into sothing that had never been seen before.
And then Riven recalled. He recalled the vision he saw, the creature. It was the low class demon Beletrex, the Soul Eater.
He rembered the information about it.
"How... how is it here?" Riven muttered. This creature was sothing that shouldn’t be here. How did Luke carry this creature here?
His mind was full of thoughts. He tried to figure out what was going on, but nothing made sense. Then he recalled sothing about Beletrex.
It got stronger as it ate, and it chased a goal down to the end. So it made sense that Luke chased him down till here and had also been consuming to get stronger.
Luke had sohow beco a Devil, and he wasn’t going to stop until he killed Riven and Noel.
And just as Riven was coming to this conclusion, Luke roared in his Beletrex form.
"Roooooaaar!"
He lunged forward, moving faster than before. His feet hit the ground and left cracks. His tendrils lashed in all directions, and flas erupted all around his body.
He leaped into the air, eyes locked on Riven. He attacked, all tendrils and all flas, right at them at once.
