章 405: Bad News
[ June 6th, 2022 ]
After some huge destruction..., laid down by the falling Behemoth who descended from the skies.
" *cough* *cough* " Aidan coughs as he flies into the skies using his [Flame Propelling] ability, making himself have a 'Fire Propeller' from his feet, a great ability he used to fly in the nick of time before Behemoth's plunging shockwave.
" I survived... " Aidan gasps while looking around, all is dust, and he tries to see anything or anyone below.
" EVERYONE, ARE YOU OKAY!? " Aidan calls everyone, especially the ones on the stage beside him.
" YUKINO-SENPAI! "
" LORD LOKI! "
" ... "
" EVERYONE! " Aidan keeps calling, but suddenly he hears a rumbling voice, a voice that immediately alarmed him as it was like a huge movement.
" It seems your calling called the wrong guy. " Agni tells Aidan as from the dust, a huge glowing eye appears.
" The thing's name is 'Behemoth'...? " Agni says while Aidan sees the glowing eyes as it slowly moves.
" Lord Agni, you know what that is... "
" I do, boy! "
" But... "
" If my memory serves me right..., this thing, should be in Tartarus with the other Demons... " Agni explains to Aidan as the dust around Behemoth began to be so clear, showing its huge Black Gigantic Body.
" Even the skin color is now different, so he's a 'Shadow' now? " Agni says as Behemoth approaches Aidan even more.
* Behemoth growls. *
" Keep your distance, boy! " Agni orders Aidan to fly further from the Creature's reach.
" The beast is too much for you, you might be a Divine Avatar but this 'thing' is too much for your first day of becoming one... "
" I can see that Milord..., with the size alone, I could see it will trouble me if I fight him alone. "
" But still, if we don't stop this thing, then the whole Trinia might be doomed, for this thing could kill even millions just by falling or stepping on them. "
" Yes... and..., tch! Let me think... "
" We never test our flames, perhaps try burning the ground in front of you, perhaps it will slow its movement as we burn the ground it walks. " Agni orders Aidan as he uses his flames, both Red and Blue Flames to burn the ground as Agni ordered.
* Behemoth stops. *
" I knew it, some fire would still scare the thing, thank the divine I choose to master the right element. " Agni gratitudes as he sees this.
" Now, as we burn the ground, perhaps we should burn even more, create more smoke to suffo- "
" Huh!? " Both Aidan and Agni were so surprised, seeing their flames suddenly vanish, instantly replaced by a sudden release of a massive snow.
" Don't tell me! " Aidan realized who might be the one to release such massive snows, like a blizzard even.
" Damn, Kaiju! " Yukino calls Behemoth as she appears below the ground. Calling it a 'Kaiju' since he's a big monster.
As she comes, her Blizzard quickly freezes and spreads around Behemoth, slowly freezing its legs, and binding it while it tries to attack her.
[ Ice Barrier: Frost Petal's Breeze ]
" Fuha- " Yukino takes some breath, releasing a powerful Freezing Barrier, the one she trains to handle the Main enemy.
" I originally wanted to do this against your master, but I have no choice... "
" Your death is imminent..., Kaiju! " Yukino tells it, preparing to release a great slash from her Katana while on the other hand.
* Ice cracks. *
" YUKINO-SENPAI, GET OUT!!! " Aidan shouts at her, a shout that she noticed as Behemoth quickly released himself from her freezing force with its gigantic strength.
" You-! "
[ Havi Force ]
Using his Asgardian Power, Loki pulls Yukino away from Behemoth's release.
" Thank goodness, you're safe... " Loki says after pulling her to his place, he's still alive.
" Lord Loki...? " Aidan sees it from the skies, he turns back seeing the Lord was behind him the whole time.
" Are you alright, Milord!? " Aidan shouts as Loki hears it.
" I'm fine! " Loki says while giving his hand to Aidan to show how alright he is, which makes Aidan approach him on the ground while keeping himself floating.
" Are you both alright, I- "
" If it weren't for your flames, perhaps my Freezing Effect would be more powerful... " Yukino suddenly says that.
" Senpai? " Aidan asks in his confusion.
" I had him there, I had the means to end it in an instant! " Yukino tells Aidan about it.
" If you didn't burn the ground earlier my binding over the Kaiju would be more perfect! " Yukino scolds Aidan.
"( This girl! )" Agni is pissed at hearing such words, he immediately takes over Aidan's body, using his hands to grip Yukino's collar.
" Hey, hey! " Loki tries to stop them.
" Shut up, Loki! It's me, Agni! " Agni emphasizes, to make sure Loki didn't interfere to protect his Hunter.
" Look, girl... " Agni tells Yukino.
" Lord Agni here, this is my Avatar's body, Aidan, who holds you... "
" Listen, I don't know what you're problem is..., but without Aidan and my flames, the Creature would never walk free. "
" We had him cornered, the flames made it stop and we're originally going to make more of it to suffocate it with the smoke. "
" But some genius here decides to shut off the flames and make some rash decision that ruins the whole plan! " Agni says as he the other hand holds Yukino's head.
" But, if it weren't for me, the thing wouldn't be slowed for now! " Yukino replied as her head was being held, she rebelled by gripping Aidan's hand, even daring to freeze it. "
" Let me go and I'll finish the job, I- "
" Grrh, you damned girl! "
" LOOK! " Agni holds her head, showing Behemoth finally could walk again, despite some of Yukino's ice slowing its movement but on the other hand, slowly reduces the flaming burns inflicted on the Shadow.
" This is your idea..., you made it walk again... " Agni then releases Yukino, making her fall into the ground.
" First S-Rank Hunter... "
" What a joke... " Agni says it, which makes Yukino startled after she holds her ground.
" Loki... " Agni looked at him.
" I miss, Andrew... " Agni tells him.
" If he didn't do such crime in the past..., things would be better with his hands... " Agni says while catching the hair.
" It's your fault..., you replaced him..., with... 'this'... " he points at Yukino, showing his displease with her.
" Tsk, tsk..., we're screwed... " Agni says after seeing this.
" The First S-Rank Hunter behaves like this and Uncle Zeus decides to take that 'Mad Goddamn Child' as its Avatar... "
" Now, a Creature that should've been in Tartarus..., suddenly can be summoned by the White Demon..., unbelievable... " Agni says while covering his forehead with his palm.
" So that's the thing, the one mentioned by Uncle to be missing from Tartarus... " Loki says mentioning what he remembers back then.*
" What? " Agni replied.
" Uncle Zeus and I visited Tartarus..., I accompanied him to recruit the Gods and Demons there for this Tournament, we- "
" Ah, great! You guys recruited the ones from Tartarus too!? " Agni is getting more pissed at hearing this.
" Oh my, for the first time, I feel like crying..., not just because of stress, but the whole thing you just said made my brain rot. "
" Bad news over bad news..., tch! "
" Do you guys have no idea, about what you've done? " Agni asks but they don't realize that Behemoth is already close, it walks as it suddenly stops in front of them, growling.
* The three of them prepared. *
" They do..., Lord Agni. " a voice comes, as the owner shows himself on top of the gigantic creature.
" White Demon... " Yukino sees him.
" Both of them know well what they're doing, hence they chose this choice... "
" A bad choice..., the one that they both rue one day... " White Demon says as he presents himself in front of the three.

Extra:
* " So that's the thing, the one mentioned by Uncle to be missing from Tartarus... " Loki says mentioning what he remembers back then.
Loki means what Zeus says in Chapter 393: Day -1: Tartarus Recruit.
