(Third Person POV)
August pointed his staff at Maliketh who glared at him, "I won't ask again, Dragon." he said, "Hand over my colleague, at once."
Maliketh let out a deep growl, "What is Irene to you, Mage?" He asked
"That is my concern." August said as his staff let out a light, "I-"
He instantly swung his staff to the side, deploying a barrier in the form of a spectral shield as Jason punched through it, the force pushing him back.
"I said...." Jason said as he was engulfed in a crimson aura, "Fuck off, August!!!"
"Obliteration Style: Furious Artillery!!!"
Jason swung his fists at August, firing off a barrage of True Damage shockwaves at the Magic King, which struck him heavily and pushed him further back.
August, however, had deployed several barriers in front and behind him, but the power of Jason's Obliteration Style did what the na suggested; obliterated them.
Despite this, the damage he received was rather minimal as he erged from the smoke caused by the attack seemingly unhard.
"Hm." August said, "This will prove rather troubleso..."
He looked down as Maliketh fired off a quick black light projectile at August, which he casually dodged.
Jason watched as the projectile flew up into the air and detonated, causing a massive explosion that shook the air and darkened the atmosphere.
"Shit..." Jason said, "That was hefty power..."
Maliketh launched up into the air, flying past both Jason and August as the pressure staggered the two. He then spun up into the air, below the massive ball of smoke and flas caused by the previous attack, and extended his wings outwards which released a wave of black light that covered the entirety of the sky.
"I shall not be undermined!" Maliketh bellowed, "Mine is the power of Darkness, the light of The Black God!!"
Jason gritted his teeth, "You-" he said before his senses picked up sothing, "Shit, No, Erion!"
Everyone then watched as a massive figure flew through the sky and crashed against Maliketh, the shockwave felt everywhere.
Maliketh, surprised by this, looked at his assailant, a recovered Erion. HIs body was emitting a bit of smoke but other than that, his assud wounds had healed.
"Erion?" He said, "How are you
The Young Dragon snarled at him as he clawed at his chest, "Dragon...!!!" He growled, "Dragon bad!!"
"Hmph." Maliketh said he pushed him away, "A re toddler Dragon, against .....a full-grown Adult. Brother, your power is great, but immature!! I shall show you the difference in our strength!"
He thrust his tail-blade at Erion, who easily parried it with his claws and countered with the swipe of his other arm, striking Maliketh in the head and sending him reeling.
"RAHHHHH!!!" Erion bellowed as he charged black light in his mouth, "I DESTROY!!"
"Shit, Erion!" Jason said as he attempted to fly towards them
"No, you don't." August said as he pointed his staff at him
Jason was frozen in place, surrounded by what he assud was a barrier, "Your shitty barriers are pissing off, August!" He said with rage in his eyes, "Why don't you fuck off?!"
August shrugged, "I must do what His Majesty wishes of ." He said, "Until he is released from his prison, I shall not relent."
Suddenly, Gray and Natsu appeared behind him, charging their fists in their respective elents.
"But nevertheless." August continued, "If I need to stoop low enough to fight you imbeciles, I shall do so."
August snapped his fingers and two sparks of magic power detonated in front of both Natsu and Gray, sending them flying away.
"Shiiit!!!" Natsu yelled, "I'm being treated like a ragdoll here!!"
"Tell about it!!" Gray replied as they both flew through the air
"You guys!!" Erza exclaid
Jason narrowed his eyes, "I've had it with you lot, August." He said, "Your Father's obsession with Mavis's power is tiring!"
August looked at him, "What did you say?" He said, "What do you know?"
"More than enough." Jason said seriously, "But I also know that I'll have to apologize to Mavis later. For killing her son."
August's eye twitched, "Quiet, boy." He said seriously, "You speak boldly for soone in your current position?"
"Oh this?" Jason said as he gestured at the barrier, "You think this is enough to keep still? Please, for the King of Magic, you're pretty pathetic."
Jason snapped his fingers as the barrier imdiately shattered, which didn't faze August.
"Hm." The Magic King simply said, "One of the gifts given to you by Irene, I suppose. The heightened version of her High Enchantnts."
"Whatever it is you want with her, I won't let you get her." Jason said as he readied a stance as he floated in midair
"She is the key to releasing His Majesty." August said, "Whatever it is that got him in his current position, it is due to Irene and a pact they both made long ago."
"I don't care." Jason said, "The Blazing Black God, The Heavenly Wheel God, for fuck's sake Ankhseram himself! I just don't give a fuck! But bring harm to mine, and I'll kill you!"
August nodded, "I understand." He said seriously, "We have to do what we must. In this case...."
He swung his staff and released an insane amount of magic power.
"Calamitas: Tempestatis Lapsae"
In an instant, the entire atmosphere darkened as the air was suddenly filled with several dozen twisters that violently struck the ground.
Maliketh, who had dodged Erion's beam, was struck by one of these twisters, and his entire body was detonated with several explosions of lightning.
"What is this...?" Maliketh said as he was rather unhard, "A Calamitas spell? Could that man be...? Ah, how could I be so foolish.....he is August, The Magic King."
Erion was also hit by one of the twisters and was sent flying down hard into the ground, his body engulfed by explosions of lightning.
He roared as he tried to get up but was continuously hit by barrages of wind slices and lightning strikes.
Maliketh saw this as he flapped his wings, "Hm." He said, "I suppose that takes care of you, Erion. I rather not fight you, brother. But I must take this opportunity to take Jason...."
He looked over to see Jason had been hit by a twister and his body was trashed around, being constantly struck by lightning.
"Hmph." Maliketh said, "Perhaps this will be easier than I imagined."
In a swift motion, Maliketh opened his mouth and fired off a quick black light projectile that shot straight at Jason, striking him hard.
The attack detonated and caused a massive explosion that disrupted several twisters that were nearby. August saw this and raised his staff, diverting any incoming wind or lighting.
"Quite the power." August mused, "But I suppose it is expected from a beast of that caliber."
Jason's charred body was seen being flung away at rapid speed.
Erza, who was trying to shield herself from the sudden tempest, clad in her Thunder Empress Armor, ran towards Jason's falling body.
"Jason!!" She yelled out, "Dammit, Erion is also hit by these attacks! Where are Natsu and Gray?!"
August slowly turned to Maliketh as the twisters raged on, who was flapping his wings, staying afloat in the air.
"So...." August said, "I suppose we will not co to an agreent."
"Hmph." Maliketh said, "What gave you that impression, Magic King?"
August stroked his beard, "My optimism."
"Optimism? In this day and age, I suppose it's more common that I thought." Maliketh said as he engulfed himself in black light, "But ready yourself, I shall bring you down."
"You can try, Dragon." August said, "I-"
"Maliketh." Maliketh cut him off, "I am called Maliketh and you shall refer to as such."
"Maliketh, huh?" August said as he raised his staff, "What an interestingly strong na..."
"For a wretched beast such as yourself."
*****************************************************************
[Sowhere in Guiltina]
Overlooking a massive lake, a blonde woman sat on a deck, sipping sake from a cup. She serenely sat there, dangling her bare feet in the air as she the atmosphere of the lake eased her.
She looked at the water, the reflection of the massive moon shining off the surface. One might ask how there could be a night sky in the middle of the day.
Well, the answer to that question is rather simple; This Woman was Selene, The Moon Dragon Goddess. One of her powers was bringing forth the Night at any point in ti.
"Ah." Selene said with a slight smile, "Such a wonderful day it is. The moon is rather beautiful ton-"
She felt sothing, a cold chill down her spine as she stood up almost imdiately. She looked around, feeling rather alard. She hadn't felt a sensation like the one she was feeling in centuries, it was sothing foreign to her in this day and age.
"W-What is that?" She said shakily, "This feeling....!"
She looked down at her palms, they were beginning to sweat. The feeling she suddenly got, it was sothing akin to anxiety, as if a mother was worrying about her child.
Her face went pale for so reason as she looked up at the sky, "K-Kurnugi...?" She said, "N-No, it can't be...."
"He can't be alive...."
