Chapter 139: Chapter 138: A New Story: Disputes II
Ellifis and Zearus stood not too far from each other on a dry, red rocky plain, the wind gently greeted them and harmonized with the atmosphere.
Zearus looked around, "are you really serious about fighting ?"
"Why else would I bring you here?"
"You can’t beat ?"
"We won’t know until we fight"
"Stoop- "
????????????!
His head fell off his neck and rolled on the ground, Ellifis was not holding a visible sword but both his hands were situated as though he just sheathed back his sword.
"You seriously are impatient" Zearus’ head on the ground talked.
’Of course... I knew that would not be enough’
The blood that poured from the neck suddenly turned black and began to fill the ground endlessly, a black circle grew around the headless Zearus and briars began to slowly co out, Ellifis bent a little as if he was about to sprint he positioned himself well placing on hand on the invisible sword and the other on its invisible scabbard, which was not exactly invisible but seeming not there.
First the hand Ellifis had cut earlier sprang out and then another head sharply sprang out too.
"You don’t understand anything, I said I am immortal, you are stupid to think you can fight
and beat "
"I said, we can’t really know anything until we try"
The briar wringled around him, with him in the centre of it, he stretched forth his hand and so of the briar stretched forth to Ellifis, who swung his hand and began to cut them.
"Kihikihikihik, to think you can cut a thousand year thorn. You truly are amazing but its not enough"
????????!
Four briar pierced through his chest, he vomited blood imdiately, the blood continued to drop down his jaw.
"...How?"
"The briars are not on your level, this briars are the responsibility that I have carried for the past three thousand years, you really think you would have a chance against m-"
??????????!!
He slashed his body to two, it imdiately joined back together.
"Bloom Ishgarithe"
??????????!
Ellifis staggered, he looked down, black rose had budded on his chest where the briar passed through.
’Shit... I feel ... w..ea..kk’
"How is it Ellifis, that is Ishgarithe: the life thief, a part of
that grew on , he would feed on your physical strength and then will grow larger and larger till it eventually grows on you, if it is cut off you you will loose all your strength forever which ans you will be a man with no vitality just laying and looking not even enough strength to move a single finger, you would be like a la man. If it is left it will be a burden that you have to carry for the rest of your life, the more you gather strength is steals them and grows larger, you gather strength again it grows larger again, ahhh it will really grow big, very big, I can’t wait to see your deci-...eh-"
The black rose cut into two and withered as Ellifis breathing pattern changed, he breathed out chilly air and air escaped through the space within his teeth as he clenched them together.
"Reveal true form"
A whirlwind pool surrounded him and a long imperable light began to form in front of him, Zearus looked carefully at what was about to unfold. The light finished forming and revealed a large long sword with ancient engravings and a very beautiful and colorfully designed white scabbard, it shone from afar and was a genuine beauty.
"Garyhe!"
Garyhe of the goddess of light, in the mythologies and folktales Garyhe was a very popular story, the prodigal son of the goddess of light, he demanded his freedom and right from his mother then plunged into the world in order to be its hero with the power he had received but he could not bear the sin and hatred of humanity, he tried but he couldn’t by the ti he would return to him mother he returned as a shredded version of his real self then his mother with the help of Eschaton carved him into a beautiful sword of light and nad him the harbinger of light, hoping that one day her son would be able to serve humanity as a sword that cuts through darkness, hatred, sin and shines light and love upon the darkness of the heart of humanity. It was one of the loving story of the true deity whose presence has been lost down the line of humanity existence.
"Ahh...no wonder you never revealed it in front of anyone..." Zearus facial expression changed and he now looked pissed. "A sword that can cut through anything, a sword that is way older than my briars, you really are a bother"
"Not that I didn’t, it just wasn’t worth it, anyways I’m glad that you finally recognize that I’m a worthy opponent"
Zearus points a finger towards him, "that doesn’t change the fact that you are weakened already. Plus that wound on your hand is beginning to get worse, it must be because of the presence of the sword... which ans the wound is trying to resist the sword purging and doesn’t that an you will soon loose your place as the sword wielder and soon beco it’s opponent...?"
"You seem to enjoy talking so much"
??????????
As he swung the sword the terrain inverted and the clouds crumbled, Zearus gathered a large amount of briars to block but all of them withered even before the sword arrived, he flew backwards in order to weave.
’As far as it is demonic energy, the sword will be effective, he has an upper hand in this, then that ans I have only one choice left. Close combat, I won’t give him a chance to swing that sword.’
??????????????!!
Zearus sprinted towards him, Ellifis raised the sword from bow in order to smash him upwards but to his surprise Zearus went lower than even how low he was swinging the sword and thanks to the sword large body there was a slow response in stopping the movent he had begun as a result Zearus took advantage of this and punched him in the stomach, he was thrown aback by the punch, Zearus quickly followed before Ellif’s feet got a hold of the ground he punched him and continued in that sequence until he was very close and he imdiately flew back that instance a fraction of the sword departed and cut the air from where he was.
The sword began to release fractions and divided into seven smaller swords and one large katanalike long sword but the others were short swords of different shapes and were floating on their own, Ellifis held the katanalike sword in his hand.
Zearus spread his palms wide open, briars ca from the ground and ford a black sword in his hand. He put on hand in his back and plunged forward again, the other six swords began to attack, he blocked so fast and effortlessly but the six swords continued to attack him not giving him breathing space and a chance to get closer to Ellifis, but he was blocking well with one of his hand at his back, the speed of the six swords increased so did his blocking speed to the extent that his hand was not not visible and all that could be seen was the silver light that followed the six swords and the black blurs caused by his own sword.
Suddenly a briar stretched forth from his sword and was missed by the six swords the briar got to Ellifis but instead swirl and revealed another Zearus who imdiately strikes with the briar sword, the forr Zearus within the range of the six swords then turned to a briar. Ellifis was caught of guard, he successfully blocked but was brought to his knee, not because he couldn’t have bore the weight of the attack, but the sudden attack and his ate response to it did not allow him to be able to reduce the weight his right hand would carry because of the disease, the pain scread through his muscles as he fell to his knees in pain, the black vapor soon began to sneak out and the wound that Jon had freezed seed to be opening again.
Zearus grinned, "I told you... you are exhausted, you can’t fight
like that, considering the fact that I haven’t even begun with you..."
Ellifis struggled and pushed Zearus sword away, Zearus softly landed on the floor, he was imdiately surrounded by the six swords, he stiffened his face as Ellifis pointed his sword forward,
"Purge"
The six sword surrounded Zearus and glimr of light began to form above his head, the long katanalike sword in Ellifis hand also started to gather the sa light, Zearus imdiaty lost his cool, his eyes and skin darkened, a long sharp claws protruded from his beautiful and neat fingers, his red eyeball turned golden as he gritted his teeth together and squatted in order to plunged into Ellifis, dark energy began to surround but was imdiately dissipating due to the presence of the harbinger of light.
Suddenly the light began to blink and fade, Ellifis was shocked, "No! No!! Not now, co on, please! purge!!!" But the sword did not respond, the six swords began to join back together and the last one in his hand was forcing itself out of his hand but he kept struggling and pulling it back.
Zearus began to laugh, "what a sight". He began to emit more demonic energy which was more efficient this ti since the harbinger of light has no owner it is just like any normal sword.
"Die!!" Zearus scread as he ran very fast towards Ellifis who was still struggling with the last part of the sword.
....A chilly air filled the atmosphere...
