章 101: Unconscious!
The Marid stares at Herald.
"I see... That was just sheer will.
Humans are capable of some bursts like that."
He stretches out his arm, and using the other one he locates his broken arm again.
As if nothing happened!
"No, we're not equal and we will never be." He says, in an arrogant manner.
'Damn it, he can heal that fast!!
Just a moment ago...Did he finally decide to be serious?
I have no other option but to try, it's do or die anyways...'
Herald takes the initial this time, jumps in the air and comes down with a double kick directed towards the Marid's head.
The latter simple rised his hand to grab his leg, but Herald switched his move in mid air.
Taking the opportunity of being underestimated.
He attacks using the other leg, to the Marid's defenseless face.
"I got him!! If he's lending me enough power in this then he's dead!!"
Inches before they make contact...
A burst of black matter comes out of his body, just like his twin!! Which served as a wall that stopped Herald's kick and threw him back to the wall.
'UGH FUCK!!...My back!!
This is so similar to....What Heracles used that time!!
Is he as strong as Heracles!!!??'
"Impressive... You went through my black matter wall!" The Marid's nose started bleeding.
Herald got him!!
He continues. "What a weird case! Judging from your aura you can barely hold a fight against a low tier demon. But you have these bursts of power when....
You're a great danger, I will have the pleasure of eliminating you!"
An explosion of black matter bursts out of his body, the whole building started shaking!!
Herald looks worried as hell.
"Shit this ain't good...
Where is Ether??? Is he having a hard time as well!!
God damn it...To think this is only our first battle."
Herald thought about something that can be of great use to him at this moment, activating his third eye!
Now, he can atleast anticipate what kind of moves he'll have to deal with.
Herald looks at the next 5 minutes of his life...
'hahahaha....They're not even 5 minutes.' He says, with an oblivious face!!
The Marid starts moving with slow steps towards his opponent, with each step the ground is breaking..
"Can you feel it? Your spirit seems to have realized the doom that is awaiting you!"
Herald does not reply...
Abruptly, he tries to break away from the window..
But again, the Marid was faster and grabs him by the throat....So tightly!!
Herald struggles to even breath.
'PLEASE...WHY ARE YOU NOT HELPING ME WHEN I NEED YOU THE MOST.
Am i really going to die this way....
It sucks, atleast i wanted to...defeat somebody...."
Herald feels his consciousness slowly leaving him, and darkness taking over his eyes...
The Black matter completely surrounded his body.
But, The look on the Marid face is a bit weird.
"...Normally, you should be melting down from my black matter.
I wish I knew more about you..." He says as he's shocking Herald to death.
....
As he was taking his final breath, he heard a voice coming from the deepest darkest point inside of him.
"Seems like you're not making it out of this by yourself, Herald!"
"Who...Who's talking??" He replies, tiredly.
"I am who despises you, but can't live without you...
It seems it's true, there's a very thin line between hate and love that you only realize at certain moments.
Herald!
You cannot die here and now.
WAKE UP!!!"
Suddenly!! Herald's eyes opened...and looked straight into the Marid's.
It put terror in his heart!
"...Wha...WHO ARE YOU??" losing his coolness, he screams!
Trying to finish him off, he puts all of his powers into it...
Ether finally descends to help his friend...Looking at the scene he didn't know what to make of it.
He tried rushing towards the enemy but...
Herald grabs The Marid's muscular neck back...and in one motion.
RUPTURES HIS VEINS!!
Finally, his face showed pain!
Herald's eyes look unconscious...All white without his dark brown-ish pupils!!
The Marid lets him off, and tries to heal himself quickly...But Herald gives him no time to do so.
He grabs his left arm again, and with one swipe off he shatters the bone, making sure it's not healing ever again!!
The Marid this time, screams in pain...
*Downstairs*
A mysterious man looking in his late 40s, speaks. "One of them, has been eliminated.
The other is on his way."
The old lady is looking very worried.
"How...How come? They're my strongest servants!!
Of the Marid class..."
Another woman, who looks a bit young replies. "We'll have to think about this later.
Let's get out of this place immediatly!!"
At the same time, Herald is completing his massacre.
He broke both of his arms, and his legs. The Marid can no longer stand on his feet...
"...You're not normal, this power... You're one of us!
I don't quite...understand but.
Would you please tell me...your name before you kill me?"
Herald stands and looks down to the miserable looking Marid...
"A savior...
I am just a savior."
"...A savior you say!" The Marid grins.
"Well...I think...
You should save yourself first!"
Those, were his last words!
Right after, his face was crushed into the wall over and over again...
Until fire, took out his body.
It was a horrifying scene to say the least. One that even got Ether shocked
"...Herald! Is that you?". He asks, hesitantly.
He looks back...With tears in his eyes!
"Yeah....I think so!!"
Herald collapses in the ground...His wounds are finally catching up to him.
Ether quickly gets inside of his body, and heals whatever he can heal. After couple of minutes.
Herald opened his eyes again, and stood up on his feet.
"How do you feel?" Ether checks up on him.
"Much better, thank you...
More importantly, we still have a job to do...".
Herald talks in a very serious manner. He still wants to complete the mission!
Ether. "About that...They're gone!
They escaped the building some moments ago...They realized the danger after we defeated the two Marids."
Herald. "Is that so...That's a shame.
We'll get them again next time then!"
Ether does not how to reply to that...
"It's better...I don't know if we could've handled them all."
Moments of silence took over the place...
"I came back from death...". Herald suddenly states.
"Someone rescued me... The moment you left the room i used my third eye powers.
I've seen myself being killed.
He was stronger than I was... Even if my Qarin started lending me the average amount of powers he usually gives, I don't know if I could've beaten him.
At my last breath, i heard a voice telling me that I cannot die now... That I should wake up!
Thats when you arrived...
It felt for a moment that it wasn't me moving or deciding what to do, my body moved on its own.
Was it my Qarin himself telling me that? And he took over my body....
Probably!"
Ether listens well to Herald's long soliluquy.
"Or maybe...It was you telling yourself that you can't die yet."
Herald looks down towards his bloody fist...
"Maybe...Anyways!
Let's burn this cursed place down."
