Chapter 224:
Arthur's Point of View
The Island
Have you ever had an idea that you knew was bad but still went through with it? That's about where I was at. I knew my energy being low was affecting my judgnt. Letting two unknown Demons watch over those on the beach was a testant to that. However, I couldn't worry about that anymore.
Now I had a behemoth of a Dragon flying towards with a fire Demon on its forehead that looked far more Demonic than it did in the past. On the other side was an unknown that disturbed Pestilence and Credo. Part of thought it might be Thana, but I doubt she would attack her own people. So, it was soone new, and that was slightly more unnerving. Changing my tactics, I decided to try sothing new and was unsure if it would work.
Part of wanted to open a giant portal, but I'm not sure I could handle such a transfer. Even if it did go through, if any of the Demons attacked, my defense would be weak, and many would die. That, or they would be cut in half as they're falling through, and the portal slams shut from interference. So, I was forced to try sothing new.
Cassidy's Point of View
The Island
The two Demons seed to be honoring their agreent with Arthur and were staying near us while keeping an eye on the distance. Never before in my life would I have ever imagined that there were people this powerful. My eyes darted to the Priestesses as they had their eyes closed and focused on building up their magic and the magic that was donated to them. For the longest ti, I wanted to believe that they were all-powerful and there was no one that could challenge them.
Arthur had continued to disprove my illusions. "Arthur!" I shouted as he stayed floating in the air.
"Stay back." Credo, the horned Demon, warned. "If you leave the group and get hurt from a stray blast, we will not be held responsible."
"We could always let them die." His bandaged companion added as I grit my teeth.
Wanting to respond, Credo turned to him but went silent as his eyes widened. A strange sound could be heard as I felt my clothes flicker as if being pulled by so unknown force in front of . Confused, I looked to the two Demons who were watching Arthur. Arthur's body was glowing its normal blue, with almost hypnotic black waves humming off of him.
Pretty soon, the flicker on my shirt beca stronger as it pulled tight and up towards Arthur. "Put up a shield, Pestilence!" Credo ordered as he imdiately did so and not a mont too soon.
The bandaged Demon did as instructed as the sand outside of their shield began to float into the air. Water from the ocean below Arthur began to twist into the air as fire seed to follow suit from all around us. The black waves continued to pulse through the water and other debris as another spell slamd into Arthur. My heart sunk for a mont until I saw the spell warp and began twisting around Arthur like everything else.
It was almost as if he forced his body into having its own pull all around him. Credo and Pestilence grunted as they seed to strain. So much so that their shield slid forward slightly before they readjusted it. That confused . How strong was this pull that two Demons were struggling, just holding up their shield?
"Holy..." Pestilence let out in shock as we watched in awe.
Soon, light began to twist around Arthur as the world around us seed to darken. Like a tint had rolled over the world and was slowly getting darker and darker. Which made it all the more blinding when the Dragon that was approaching let out another blast of fire in the form of a beam directed entirely at Arthur's floating form. Again, it slamd into him but quickly warped and twisted around him violently. I would've shouted at him, but I could no longer hear anything. There was no sound to be heard at all.
Soon, it was impossible to see him at all as the beam, spells, and other things that were there encased him entirely. The only thing that could be seen were the black waves. Even the two Demons began to grunt and huff as the magic from their shield started to get pulled in too. However, everything disappeared before it could beco a problem, and a blinding light covered the area.
Everything had brightened so suddenly, that I had to blink several tis to adjust my eyes. Arthur was falling towards us but caught himself periodically before he fell onto the sand wheezing. Ziah and I rushed forward only to be stopped by the Demons barrier. After exchanging a glance with them, they looked at each other as Arthur lay in the sand, struggling.
I was concerned the two Demons might turn on us, but my attention was taken away as I saw two streaks of magic through the sky. They seed to be fading and each streak led in separate directions. It was weird seeing them slowly fade as if a candle was going out. I thought no more about it despite the large clouds of smoke in each direction since the Demonic shields dropped.
Ziah and I moved forward while I heard Elincia shout. "Bring him over here and grab on! We're just about ready!"
