"Devel! Get out of there!" - Kingston
"Can't! I need to stay here until the last mont! Just get out of the way!" - Devel
Glancing up, I see a tornado burning around Fierna, it had traveled up her sword and had engulfed the whole of her body, with only small gaps in the flas showcasing her excited expression. Grinning from ear to ear, the tornado bursts outward, quickly lighting up the surroundings. I could feel my skin burning up the longer I stayed below the epicenter of the attack and making quick work, I dashed toward the lower staircase.
In the anti, Devel was still occupying Ian's attention. His blade was always in contact with Ian's spider legs as much as possible but there was only so much he could do as a wave of fatigue washed over Devel, causing him to misti a parry. Taking the opportunity, Ian's spider legs stab through Devel's Thunderous Aura, piercing through his chest and out the back, splattering blood all over the ground behind him.
Coughing up blood, Devel smiles and lunges forward while dropping his sword, pushing the spider legs deeper into his body, and grabs onto Ian's body, holding Ian's arms to the side. Struggling to break free, Ian shakes and trembles his body in hopes of making Devel let go, however, Devel's superior strength doesn't allow for that to happen. Instead, the spider legs continue to deal damage to Devel and more blood is spilled.
"Thanks for waiting, darling~ You did a good job~!" - Fierna
The fire tornado above us burns brightly as Fierna's hysterical laughter rings throughout the room. Like a monster, it breathes and vibrates along with Fierna's laugh, sending small ripples along the edges of the flas right before a burst of energy sends the tornado down. Screaming at the top of her lungs, Fierna shouts the skill na, as the flas start to travel faster and faster, spinning down, focusing on Ian.
"Φωτιά διάβολος!" - Fierna
Unable to move due to Devel's restraint, Ian could only watch the traveling fire tornado approach him and with his back facing the skill, Devel could only wait patiently as the attack cos closer. Even though I had retreated so far away, I could feel the sheer intensity of the attack as it boils the air, creeping closer to the two that were locked in combat. Fierna's summon cancels, and she reappears next to Belial, exhausted but excited as her skill finally lands.
Spinning along the ground, the fire tornado kicks dust and dirt into the air, enveloping Devel and Ian in its fiery blaze. I couldn't see them anymore but for so reason, I doubt either of them was dead. Heavily injured, maybe, but not dead. Just as that thought passes through my head, I start to see flashes of blue travel up the tornado. It would start from the left, then go to the right, only to co back to the left.
Small subtle flashes, but the color was all too similar to soone's skills that I knew, Devel. Was he traveling upward while gathering energy? Or are they locked in a fight in the eye of the storm? I couldn't tell what was happening since the fire tornado was just burning the surroundings, creating a hazy atmosphere from the heat of the flas.
"Wondering what is happening inside, Kingston?" - Belial
Reading my mind, Belial, speaks to . That demon has always been so sort of step ahead of , regardless of what I have thought about it or tried to think about. I can only assu it is because of the contract between us that makes it easier for Belial to understand my thoughts. However, sotis I feel like he understands it better than I do.
"Yeah, I'm curious about what is happening inside the tornado. Devel is stronger than any other player I have seen up until now and Ian had just received a massive upgrade because of the curse. Devel seed so confident in surviving Fierna's attack, so I want to know why he is so confident and how he is going to defeat Ian." - Kingston
"Well, I don't think you need to wait much longer. Look at the top of the tornado." - Belial
Following Belial's words, I look at the top of the tornado and I see Devel floating in the air with his great sword poised above his head. Little by little the rocks surrounding his sword break off revealing the Lightning Bolt hidden underneath and in doing so, the light emitted from Devel outshone the tornado of flas below him. Within the next second, Devel disappears from the spot.
A bright flash followed by the clapping of thunder blasts through the room, disintegrating the fire tornado at the sa ti, sending a shockwave in all directions. The flas were pushed to the walls, before traveling upward as if painting the walls with fire. In the middle of the room, Devel stands still right in front of Ian. The Lightning Bolt, planted on the ground, zapping the surroundings lightly.
A clean split appears in the middle of Ian's body, as it falls to the side in half. Collapsing into two separate piles of ash, was my friend. I felt a slight sting in my chest, knowing that I had just helped kill Ian but what else could I do? I was too weak to stop him any other way. Slowly, I make my way to Devel but as I do, I see him collapse to the side as well, letting go of his weapon at the sa ti.
Surprised, I quickly dash over to see Devel's body riddled with holes. I knew he had been stabbed multiple tis already by Ian during their close-quarter combat but looking at Devel's body now, there seed to be even more holes. Kneeling next to him, I reach inside my pouch to see if I still had a potion but unfortunately, I had nothing left. Quietly, I click my tongue, but the sound was enough for Devel to regain consciousness, and with bated breath, he speaks to .
"Kingston. I'm about to die. Ian is dead, but he was able to land a few more blows during my attack, and I don't have much HP left. It was fun fighting against you and Ian and then again against Ian, however, I need you to know that whatever is happening with Ian is going to translate over to real life. This ga is more than just a ga, and whether you believe enough is your choice. You need to be careful." - Devel
"Why are you telling this? Aren't we still rivals or enemies?" - Kingston
"It is nothing more than just a front. We need strong players to appear soon or else we humans will be wiped off this world when the 'rge' happens." - Devel
"I understand about the 'rge' but why not just tell the community about this information? Isn't it better to have everyone united to defeat the 'Kings'?" - Kingston
"It cannot be done. It has already been tried. This is the only way. With less information, the stronger players were able to be born. Luck is also part of skill, you know." - Devel
"It has already happened? What do you an?" - Kingston
"It seems you really don't know much, do you? Unfortunately, my ti is up. I cannot interact with RavenStar any longer or else there will be major consequences. I need to go back to being Devel from Bones. If we et again, we will be enemies." - Devel
"Wait? What? Are you not Devel?" - Kingston
"Til we et again, Kingston." - Devel
Before any questions could be answered, Devel's body and the Lightning Bolt shatters into tiny pieces. Left with more questions, I montarily stayed still. What was happening?! Confusion and slight panic wash over my body, but before I went down a spiral of thoughts, Belial snaps out of it.
"Kingston! Stop, thinking! There is no point in thinking about sothing you have no information about." - Belial
"What? What do you an? This was so much information to process and it was so fast. How do you expect to just ignore it?" - Kingston
"Even that human told you to not worry. You need answers, but the information is not here, so move on but keep those questions in your head. Wait and observe, those answers will be sowhere." - Belial
"Alright, fine. Fine. I'll do as you say but seriously, I am so confused right now. Like I feel like my head is about to explode." - Kingston
"That is okay. Maybe you should deal with the aftermath of this battle first. Regroup with David and the others. Explain the situation to the other human's subordinates and then move on." - Belial
"Alright, alright. Move on, you say. Alright..." - Kingston
Dragging my body away from where both Ian and Devel had just clashed, I move slowly to the lower staircase. Holding my head in my hands, my eyes shake from side to side. What is going on in this world? Why isn't this just a normal ga?
