章 28: Chapter 27: The Black Camellia
Atlas arrived at the scene of the fight, witnessing the injured figure of a bug maid from afar. The maid was facing off against three combatants, two of which were of average adamantite class, and the other being a higher class mage type combatant. Atlas focused his vision at the maid, attempting to identify the figure.
"Entoma...Zeta?"
Atlas finally realise the figure was none other than one of the Pleiades, a creation of the Supreme Beings. Atlas' teeth started to grind against each other as he witnessed the scene of the attackers pushing Entoma to a halt. The situation looked grim for the maid, as she was already fatigued and the enemies were still in fighting condition.
"Explosive Talisman!"
An explosion occurred at the position of the attackers, forcing them to spread out. This brief halt did not seem to have much of an effect however, proving to be nothing more than a slight delay.
"I will finish her off." One of the attackers spoke.
"No...no...NOOOOO!"
SLAM
An armoured figure appeared out of nowhere, in front of the injured maid. The figure wore an extremely well decorated set of black and gold plate armour, brandishing a glowing red sword.
"Who are you?" One of the bulkier humans asked.
The figure dropped its sword, and stood up straight, not responding to the question.
"We are the Blue Roses! If you are a fellow adventurer, please stand back! That hideous monster is dangerous!" A masked attacker shouted.
"Blue Roses? Ironic. Well that must mean I am The Black Camellia." The figure spoke in an abyssal voice.
"That...voice..."
"ARE YOU A FRIEND OR A FOE?!"
FLOP FLOP
Two of the weaker attackers were instantly downed by unknown forces.
"AAARGH! MY KNEE!"
They noticed what seemed to be pebbles embedded in their kneecaps, as well placed as a sniper's arrow.
"EVIL EYE! WE NEED TO RUN! THIS ONE IS NOT NORMAL!"
The figure stepped one foot forward, brandishing a new device. The figure pointed his right arm towards the one known as Evil Eye, making it glow red.
"A..twig...?!"
"YOU DARE HUMILIATE A CREATION SUPERIOR TO ME? YOU DESERVE NOTHING BUT SUFFERING AND REGRET!"
The figure phased right in front of Evil Eye, launching a flurry of stabs, hitting the mage all over her body.
"AAAGH!"
"DIE YOU INSECT SOLDIER!"
"VERMIN BANE!"
A cloud of smoke sprayed towards the figure, coating the area in grey mist. But alas, the figure walked out of the smoke completely unharmed.
"This one is not an insect..."
"Crystal lance!"
A large crystalline arrow-like projectile was hurled towards the figure, who was standing still, without a single worry in his posture.
CRASH
The lance shattered to nothingness.
"Is this battle a joke to you? Such a pity that I had to appear before such dishonourable opponents, totally unable to fend off against me in singular combat." The figure spoke in a disappointed tone.
"Are you a monster?" Evil Eye asked.
"If so, FEEL MY WRATH!"
A large shower of projectiles was flung towards the figure, with much more power than the last.
"ENHANCE MAGIC!"
The shower became enchanted with much more power, travelling much faster.
BOOM
The figure was flung back 20 metres into the mansion's front porch, creating a large cloud of smoke. As the cloud dissipated slowly, the figure appeared from the wreckage, bloodied and battered.
"I see, all talk, no bite." Evil Eye chuckled.
"I sense that you used the majority of your MP in that one move. What a shame, you only made me shed some flesh." The figure spoke.
The figure's armor simply fell off, revealing a bloodied human-like figure, disfigured beyond recognition. The figure walked a few steps forward in this bloodied state, sighing in tiredness. The figure then stopped, pulling off a small ring from one of its fingers.
"What...?!"
The figure's flesh simply shed off, revealing a horned skeleton standing tall in grey plate armour.
"Undead?!"
"?"
"Vampire, have you never seen a skeleton before?" The figure asked.
"A talking skeleton..."
"How did you know my identity?"
"Enough talking. You have opposed us, so feel my wrath."
An ignition of black energy started to appear on the figure's sword, surrounding it in flickering black pulses. The blade appeared to shin a deep red, complimenting the figure's armour well. The figure started to walk much faster, quickly approaching Evil Eye.
"Perhaps you have heard of my achievements as of late, making an army disappear happens to create commotion." The figure spoke.
"KNIGHT OF GRIM!"
The figure was indeed Atlas, enraged beyond compare, but as calm as the night's wind. Atlas had been playing with his prey from the start, taking advantage of his many resistances and buffs. Biding his time was something that he was born for, Evil Eye doesn't have the ability to break his bones.
"GREATER TURN UNDEAD!"
Atlas remained unaffected by the holy attribute spell, standing as straight as he did before.
"Do you wish to die?" Atlas asked.
"No... mercy...please."
"Mercy? You certainly were not about to show mercy to your opponent earlier! So why should I show mercy to such a pitiful animal such as yourself. All you can do is hunt in packs, unable to even deal with a single target alone. Cooperation? I think not. You are just weak, I expected better."
Atlas pointed his sword toward Evil Eye, preparing to execute the vampire.
"Atlas, You may halt your battle." A familiar voice spoke.
It was none other than Demiurge, appearing before him with a blue mask.
"Yes my lord." Atlas spoke as he knelt down.
Demiurge turned towards the three injured opponents, letting out a small chuckle as he face them.
"Hey, is that one of Evil Eye's kin?" The armoured attacker asked.
"Get away... that is a monster among monsters." Evil Eye spoke in a grim voice.
The maid was evacuated by a strange creature as the attackers were speaking amongst themselves, leaving only Demiurge and Atlas behind.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, shall we get started?" Demiurge spoke.
The two weaker attackers attempted to flee the scene with haste, as Evil Eye remained there.
"Dimensional lock."
"Shard buck shot!"
Evil Eye launched a rain of crystal missiles, which did nothing against the demon. The demon simply stood straight and returned fire.
"Hellfire wall."
A wave of fire zoomed past Evil Eye, leaving her unaffected. But her companions weren't so lucky, falling to the ground; dead.
What Atlas did not know, was that he was not going to enter a memorable fight with any of those adventurers, the main course was still approaching fast; from the sky.
