In dark room with no windows, a single candle was flickering its febel light was barely illuminating the faces of two people.
One was a big man, who was at least three meters tall, big and with a strong body, his arms radiated a sense of power, like they were capable of turning rocks to dust with a single touch, he had beast like chest and long black hair.
The figure that stood opposite of him was much smaller, her green eyes and hair barely visible by the flickering gave her a demonic kinda beauty.
But it was precisely this figure that made the big man tremble.
"Young miss everything is almost ready, the only thing that is left is the girl and the stone."
"Excellent, we already know her location, but we have to be carefully, there is something strange about that boy I mean those elders weren't that strong, but they also weren't exactly easy to deal with. As for the stone hehe" She giggled sweetly "Well it will take a while to make but all the ingredients are ready so it won't be that hard." said Bellatrix. After a moment she looked up and smiled" I already waited for so long, I can wait a little bit longer" her gaze seemed to penetrate the room, it was like she was looking at the most import thing in the world, that was almost in her reach.
"Now go, and remember that I want it done perfectly, don't rush things, do you understand me?"
"Yes young miss!"
And with the flicker of the flame the big man disappeared from the room.
"The young miss is right, we are almost there, with the girls blood we can finally release mother..." then the man disappeared from the room too.
*********A couple of days ago*********
Inside the great hall of Blood Mountain.
Ashley already had a few minor wounds and was trembling slightly. "haha it makes sense, a powerful man like him definitely has even more powerful enemies" she thought to herself and smiled slightly.
"What are you laughing you b*tch, do you think I won't dare to kill you! Just tell me where he is hiding!?" Shouted Elder Zhang.
"I already said there is no one here who looks like that portrait."
"Just kill her and let's find someone else" said elder Li
"You go ahead I want to have some little fun first, I like to tame wild women"
Then he launched himself at Asley, his right hand in the shape of a claw with bright gold flames around it.
There wast much of a surprise at the outcome of fight, if you can call it that. With every clash the injuries on Asley body kept getting worse and worse.
With another kick from elder Zhang, Ashley flew abou 20m (25feet) and hit the wall.
"You are mine now" exclaimed elder Zhang, with a disgusting smile on his face.
Elder Li threw a disgusting look in Elder Zhang direction and was about to leave with Elder Meng
Ashley was barely able to open her eyes and when she saw the disgusting smile on elder Zhang face her heart froze from fear for a second, only to be replaced with the determination in the next one.
"Better death that be with this kind of scum..."
Ashley was almost prepared to end in all when suddenly.
"Stop!!!" a thunderous voice echoed through the great hall.
Maximus flew at a high speed from one of the entrances and shot directly in Ashley direction.
At the sight of the new arrivel elder Zhang who was the closest to Ashley wanted to attack Maximus at first but then he jumped straight to the group of elders from the Phoenix Clan.
"It's him! "
"How are you!" Maximus asked Ashley.
"I am ok for now, but we have bigger problems now, they are elders from the Phoenix clan, and not simple elders, but people from the upper echelon."
Meanwhile elder Li was also a little bit shocked "This won't be easy, first his shout was imbuded with a strange form of power, next his speed was much faster then someone at his level, and finally the reaction from Zhang, he may be an disgusting and arrogant a**hole, but he is no idiot he knows how to estimate his enemy's strength, so we can assume that this young man will be harder to deal than we expected.
Plus we have to defeat him without killing him."
"I didn't expect that the great Phoenix clan will send people of such great status after low-level person as myself." said Maximus calmly.
"Hmph, brat don't pretend to be a a sheep in front us when you can even hide that monstruos energy properly" said elder Zhang
"Young man, our Patriarch asked us to escort you to the Phoenix Clan, so that we can clarif..."
"You can stop right there, I will tell you right now that I have any intention of going with you. Second if this is beacous of what happened in MY OWN house you have no authority, that was a personal affair."
"Do you think that..."
"THIRD, if this is my brother using his influence in the Phoenix clan to make things difficult for me tell him that I his elder brother will be waiting for him."
"We won't be able to do this the easy way after all" said elder Meng.
Then all three elders burt in flames, the great hall looked like a sea of flames.
"Ashley move away with from this place and take care of the kids for me"
"HHAAAAAA!!!" With a loud shout Maximus whole body bursted out with energy, it wasn't powerful enough to overwhelm the sea of flames from the three elder but it was so tyrannical that even the sea of flames from the three elders could burn it.
"Meng you go from the right, I will go left side.
Zhang you wait for an opening do deal a heavy attack, remember we have to take him alive."
They both nodded.
Two flamig arrow darted at Maximus, one was elder Meng and the other Elder Li.
They're hand in the shape of claws, they both attacked Maximus.
At this moment Maximus punched at the incoming attack and also jumped backwards to minimize the damage takes, even so his hands trembled.
"They are powerful, this will be hard" exclaimed Maximus in his hearth.
"How can this kid be so strong, and his energy seems so hard and heavy, elder Li let's exhaust him, this is the best way to win this fight." said elder Meng
"Agree" nodded elder Li
They both shoot backwards and started using ranged attacks
Elder Li opened his mouth and a tiny ball of blue flames apereared. Then it started spinning and it got bigger and bigger
"Go, Eye of the Blue Fire Demon God"
On the other side elders Meng hands were burning with bright golden flames.
"Wings of Phoenix"
The to attacks shoot at Maximus extremely fast.
Avoiding the blue ball of flames he took the fiery wing attack head on.
His fist turning a little black with tiny white dots, he punched ate them.
Golden sparks flew everywhere. Maximus was about to continue his charge when he felt something strange, turning his head back he saw the blue ball of flame coming after him.
"Keep launching attacks at him, don't let him rest" shouted elder Li, who was controlling the blue ball of flames.
One attack after the other came at Maximus.
"I can't drag this out or else is my lose"
"Haaaaa!!!" Suddenly all the energy started to tremble and the space above Maximus looked like it would be ripped apart when...
"Got you"
Elder Zhang who was waiting all this time stemmed to appear from thin air behind Maximus.
With lighting speed move he stabbed Maximus with a strange wooden dagger it the back.
"What, my... my power" Maximus face palled and he coughed a mouthful of blood. The power was draining at an alarming speed from his boddy
"Hahaha how do you like the dead wood dragged from the undead realm Haha"
"Good job, now we can...."
But elder Li could even finish his sentence when the previously destroyed great hall brust in bright white light.
After a few seconds the light fadded away and the previous destroyed great hall was back to its former apearence the only difference was all the runes that were glowing all over the hall.
"This... This.. can't be" said elder Meng in disbelief.
"We need to get out of here, fast, the the kid and let's...."
"You won't take him anywhere"
"It's you!?"
Ashley was slowly walking on the direction of the three elders and Maximus. Her injuries seemed a little bit better.
"How do you posses this..."
"It's non of your business, now scram or I will gladly use the formation to exterminate you three" said Ashley.
"We will leave. For now." said elder Li
Then in a flash all the three elders vanished from the great hall.
Ashley fell to her knees "Thanks God they left. If it wasn't for that kid who knew what could have happened."
"The child..." Maximus was barely able to see and hear what was happening around him, his were slowly closing, until everything around him turned to darkness.
"Take him to my room we need a powerful doctor to remove this nasty thing".
