Capítulo 56: Fighting Alec

The skin that shed out from Alec lay on the ground, while his body grew a disgusting carapace. His whole body began transforming into an insect like appearance. Two antennas began growing from his scalp and his mouth turned into a mandible. Covering the whole of his forehead, small black insect like eyes began appearing from beneath it.

Finally, after his whole body resembled that of an insect, a pair of wings with red eyes like pattern grew from his back. Zane and the others could only stare at him with wide eyes, disgusted by his appearance. "Lunacy...." Edana muttered while Alec drooled from his mandible.

"Careful!" Zane pushed the distracted Edana away as Alec disappeared from where he was standing and appeared in front of her. The swipe of his claws scratched Zane's hand as he was too slow to pull his hand back.

Backing away with his bloodied hand, Zane quickly dodged to the side again, as Alec threw a flurry of swipes at him. Swiftly dodging the attacks, Zane threw a punch of his own, his shadow extending towards him and striking him on his gray carapace.

At the same time, Edana threw a small blue flaming spear at his back. *Clang* Zane's shadow couldn't even leave a scratch on his carapace, while his punch landed on his sharp mandibles, not dealing much of a damage. In fact, he injured himself as the mandible cut his hand. The flame spear that Edana threw also extinguished into nothing as soon as it touched Alec's back.

Slem took this chance to jump on Alec's head in his slime form, suffocating him. But Alec was immune to even suffocation, he began chewing Slem with his mandibles and used his claws to scratch off the slime. Slem's slime body teared off from his head bit by bit, until all of him was on the ground.

The torn off slime moved slowly towards one another, trying to combine again. While this happened, Zane was dodging the continuous attacks of Alec, with Edana trying to support him by distracting Alec from behind. She used all kinds of <Arcane>, mostly offensive ones and attacked him. She even used defensive <Arcane> to block some attacks that nearly reached Zane. "Counterattack him!" She cried out to Zane, who was still desperately trying to dodge and block his attacks.

"I'm trying!" He shouted back. He ducked to the left, dodging an attack and revealed his hand to throw a punch. His shadow extending from the ground, it attached and hardened itself on his fist, making it pitch black. When Zane threw this punch towards Alec, it looked like his fist was being controlled by his shadows.

*BAM* His fist hit Alec right on his stomach, pushing him back. *Krrrr* A jarring noise rang out from the mandible of Alec. Zane looked at the place he had struck and smiled. "It worked! We need to use blunt strikes against his carapace!" He cried out to Edana.

*Spit* Alec threw out a round transparent spit from him mandible towards Zane, who was busy crying out in joy. Crossing his arms in a hurry, Zane tried to block the spit. The spit spread out and hit Zane on his arms, it went through the holes in his crossed arms and hit him on his body and face too.

"AAAGH" Zane suddenly cried out, the spit eating away at his arms, face and body like acid. After the spit dissolved, there were visible burn marks on Zane's arms and face, his skin melting in itself.

Edana appeared behind Alec and punched him, her hand reinforced with blue flames. Alec raised his claw and grabbed Edana's hand which was coming from behind, stopping her attack. He slightly turned his head to look at Edana. He pulled on her hand, tossing Edana from his back to the front and slamming her on the ground.

*Cough* Edana coughed out a mouthful of blood. Alec was going to slam his hands on Edana, but Zane quickly pulled her back towards him. *BAM* His fists slammed on the ground.

Zane helped Edana on her feet. "Can you enhance my <Arcane> like you just enhanced your fist?" He asked her, the skin of his face dripping down on the ground. Edana looked at him in horror, but soon gained her composure and nodded.

*Swoosh* A claw swiped right beside Edana's ear, as Zane pulled her to the side and saved her from it. "Now!" Zane screamed out looking towards the ground.

Alec was about to dash towards them, but he suddenly got stuck in place. Looking down with his insect head, he saw that both his legs were stuck on place by Slem's slime body.

Raising his head towards Zane and Edana, he finally saw a pitch black hammer with blue flames surrounding it. The hammer came right at him, but it was too late to block. The hammer struck his carapace with force, sending him flying backwards.

*Thud* With a thud, he landed on the fleshy ground on his back, his carapace heavily cracked and bleeding with blackish red blood. Not giving him any time to recover, Zane jumped on top of him and began striking him with his fists.

*BAM BAM BAM* He hit the already cracked carapace with his fists, until his fists began bleeding. Interlocking his fingers together and making a fist, he used his <Arcane> to connect his shadow to his interlocked fist and enhance it further.

He slammed his interlocked fist on Alec's body continuously, until the cracks became holes and his organs spilled out from his carapace. *Krrrrr* Alec made one last sound before his head plopped and his life left his body.

"Zane..." Edana walked towards Zane, who was still striking Alec with his fists, blackish red blood spluttering from the body and painting Zane's face. "That's enough, Zane!" Edana put her hand on his shoulders, making him jerk his head back and stare at Edana.

Startled by Zane's sudden stare, Edana backed up a bit and looked at him in a fearful gaze. Realizing his actions, Zane stood up and moved away from Alec's body, wiping the blood from his face. "So this is lunacy..." He looked at the chitin body of Alec and remarked.

Edana nodded her head. "Once we fall into lunacy, we turn into beasts, with no way back..."

Zane shrugged, "Well, whatever..." He began heading towards the fleshy chair of the Saint. Once he was there, he examined the seat and all around it. "Now where the fuck are my stuff...." He reached the back of the chair, where he saw his bag. "My bag!"

He swiftly grabbed his bag and opened it. Inserting his bloody hand inside the bag, he began inspecting all the items inside.

First, he pulled out a round rock and smiled. Striking it on the chair, he once again heard the heavy voice of the rock. "Hello."

"Hello to you too..." Zane spoke with the rock with a wide grin on his now hideous face. Seeing Zane speak with a rock, Edana and Slem looked at each other's face with the same expression, like they were looking at a crazy person.

Zane once again inserted his hand inside his bag and rummaged through it. Slowly, his eyes started widening and he started to panic.

"No no no no..." He rummaged through the bag faster. "My diary.. No! Where did he keep it!" He started looking around the chair and the room.

After a while, he approached Edana and Slem with a defeated look on his face. "My diary... it's gone...." He looked at them, his face like he was about to cry.
