Sorceress 78 The Seal

Further, the girls had now all regrouped into one group and started to fight their way toward him.

Next nearly all the s.h.i.+ps had now sunk to the bottomless pit of the abyss of that waterway.

The aquarian seemed h.e.l.lbent on killing them all no one was given a chance at surrendering and became clear they were not here to make prisoners but to butcher and kill.

As they were making their way three tall bulky men of obvious fish features blocked their path Speranza sat atop her white wyvern.

Neither her of the girls slowed down as they all prepared a spell to "clear" their way out of those pests.

"Fireball!" She flicked her hand making a fireball and launching it at the man.

"Sword slas.h.!.+" Sakura howled and unsheathed her sword unleas.h.i.+ng its slas.h.i.+ng attack.

"Icing wind!" Cold air picked up fueling the flames of the fireball as Chie continued to make the pathway for her and her friends.

Taking out a bow Saya aimed at the men, she momentarily stopped running and took stance releasing the arrow. "Piercing arrow!"

Music melody from Yuya's flute picked up as the girls glowed blue than purple to switch finally red.

"Improved water magic resistance, Improved reflexes and finally increase magic power pool." She glared at the enemies a harsh music was then heard.

The girls froze the middleman was a mage type as well he had erected a barrier at the last moment.

Those enemies were prime and proper… not even a dent of a scratch.

They glared and took a battle stance, sakura tsked at the site.

The girls immediately jumped back and placed Speranza in the middle after all she might as well be a gla.s.s cannon… She was heavily pregnant unable to afford being hit a single time, most frustrating was that in firepower magic she was still unbeaten.

"Still for a time I'll unleash an electrical spell if the fire doesn't work maybe lightning will cook em' nice and warm." her lips curled into a grin, they were water-based after all even if lightning magic wasn't her favourite she could still defend herself with it.

Demona walked next to her they joined their hands as they closed their eyes to evoke the magic of lightning storms.

Thriving in the midst of adversity

Blinding are its flashes

Deafening are its voice

Striking are its colour

By de pack of sincerity

We commend the spirit of D

Lightning!

As the two girls chant the spell the men rush in for an attack Sakura taking the one on the left meeting him halfway while Yuya aims at the right one with purple skin making him jump back as five arrows land in straight lines where he had stood.

The mage launched a compressed water ball toward the chanting girls, while Yuya uses sound to meet the ball halfway colliding violently against it.

The exchanges lasted but a moment.

The girls were roughly less than thirty meters away from Arkalat and more and more enemies poured up from the water.

Each time one was beaten two more showed. The girls looked battered and tired. Inch away from pa.s.sing out. They were starting to lose ground again Speranza magic pool had emptied a long time ago and with it so did her state of consciousness. Yuya sakura and Saya had reached their limit once they did they to would collapse on the floor. Only Demona and Chie still had a bit of a reserve and it was emptying fast.

Ten more warriors showed up the girls cursed in their heart the b.a.s.t.a.r.d were clearly toying with them. They had the numbers to one-sidedly crush them but didn't what the h.e.l.l was the reason? Were they s.a.d.i.s.tically enjoying the torment inflicted on them?

"Saya, Yuya we need to get Speranza out of here we won't make it" Sakura paused panting and gasping heavily hands on her knees as she glared at the smirking aquarians men. "So use the rune and escape." She said to Demona and Chie. "We will hold them off as long as we can…"

"Denied." Bast said solemnly as he appeared next to Chie.

"We use the runes but no one is left behind." His appearance was worse than a beggar. Cloth all tattered cuts and bruised all over his mask half destroyed revealing his good features black messy hair flowed out freely.

Two loud roar and deafening screech filled their ears and the enemies all forced to cover them as the pain of the sound was too much. Like an angry dragon was emptying its lungs out. The eco-made it ever worse multiplying the sound by thousand.

Using that moment Arkalat jumped next to them leaving the much more noise sensible aquarian rolling in pain as they held their ears.

Wyverns landed, more as they had crash-landed near them. As they unleashed their breath magic at the enemies. They had defeated the Octopus-like creature. And its ma.s.sive screech was what incapacitated the enemies.

Taking a rune Arkalat crushed it to unleash its magic. He could not complete the mission to return. This ambush was too wide to be just an ambush. There was a traitor in the king's mist his eyes slithered and turned savage.

He lost all his men while they were not the regular army those had signed over to him as the leader but no matter what a hundred people were no match for a trained professional army.

Just as the magic circles started forming one jumped to slash the magic which would then negate the teleportation. Bast wanted to jump in to meet the blade but was held back and strongly shoved back inside it.

"Protect her well all of you until we meet again." It was all he heard as his leader stormed out of the magic to meet the blade.

Chie and the others eyes went wide they all had been pinned down by knives to keep them from moving out, the black wyvern followed it's master to the battle.

Speranza opened her eyes as he had stepped out stunned frozen as tears ran down her cheeks.

He wouldn't port with them there was no telling when they would meet again she tried to get up. But her body had become numb her mana pool had just barely enough for her to be conscious.

Her mind was foggy but she understood clearly. He might never return to her!

Slas.h.i.+ng the man he gave him a kick aimed at the chest sending him meters away to crash lifelessly.

He glanced to her before meeting more blades.

Her vision turned black again as the spell kicked in sending them away to a far yet random location as no destination could be set.

His heart constricted it might take him years to find her again.

With only fury and bloodl.u.s.t feeding his soul something cracked inside him, the seal that had been placed two hundred years ago broke.

Dark energies radiated from him until it unleashed in pulsing waves.

The gust of dark wind swirled destroying all and everything.

"You will all perish here" His voice was deeper and murderous.

He did not need to hold back any longer; -she was gone. His death aura would not be a danger for her anymore. He would wipe the realms of their presence and go look for her.

his appearance morphed, horns grew atop his head black and curved like a screwhorn antelope,

Black dragon-like wings came out of his shoulder blades his tattered cloth disappeared and were replaced with a tight black leather pants and combat style black boots. his wristbands large and black covered his forearms. his tattoo had morphed as well into an intricate tribal style from his chest to his V line on the left side.

His blood glowing red eyes held within them only bloodl.u.s.t, his aura had totally changed and if Speranza had seen this she would never believe he was her husband and lover.

The two hundred years missing Demon Lord had finally returned; -after its long slumber.
