"Welp, enough sitting here let's move on." The king walks through a rectangular hole that opened up in the wall.
"Now that I think about it, I have done some pretty bad things and I have not even batted an eye at it. I guess we just got to push forward." Luke thought to himself.
In the Next Room was nothing but pure Darkness with one door in front of them. this was a place of nothing but darkness that stretches to Infinity.
"Why is it so cold in here?" Stagnum shivered and rubbed his hands together.
Ashly uses the coldness as an excuse to snuggle up against Luke.
"And it's so dark...with all the monsters that we've been seeing, I'm just hoping nothing pops out the dark!" Musabi words to put everybody on guard.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you guys can't see the colors." the king said to himself placing one hand on a door.
"If anything hops out the dark, its operation use Luke as a shield!" Stagnum gave Musabi a thumbs up.
"I abject at the highest order!" Luke slapped Stagnum's thumb down.
"Don't worry Luke, I'll gladly shield you from death before they'd use you. So at least we'll be together in the afterlife." Ashly gave a very creepy grin.
"So I don't even get to live even if I get Shielded-!?" Luke quickly stop talking when he felt a huge killing intent coming from Ashly, and began to sweat.
"if I'm dying, you're dying, if you are dying, I'm dying this isn't a choice." Ashley raised her knife up to Luke's neck as she smiled.
"Ashly stop trying to kill your boyfriend, we're about to open the door." the king said very casually.
she put down her knife and got back focused. Luke took a sigh of relief.
"Alright then, here we go!" The King push the door open and lightly jogged in, the group followed right behind him. they walked onto a red carpet that was floating in the sky, which led to one giant single circle stone.
"Hey this kinda reminds me of where we used to train at!" stagnum announced looking over the edge.
"Yep I remember each time I kicked Luke off of that platform." the king smiled, crossed his arms, and nodded.
"You're still a douchebag for that," Luke growled Crossing his arms.
"Yeah, whatever. let's go." The way that the King completely shrugged off Luke irritated him.
"I have feelings you know!" Luke yelled at the king, as they begin their walk toward the platform.
"Yeah anyway, before we go on I need to heal you guys." Stagnum and Luke cover their nuts when the king said that.
The king cast light out of his hand which started healing them all at the same time.
"Wait if you could heal us like this, then why did you heal us by hitting us in the nuts last time!?" Luke yelled.
"Because it's funnier, but we have the girls here this time so I can't do that." By the time the king was finished talking, they were healed.
Stagnum and Luke didn't even say anything they just glared at him.
"Alright let's do this." The king started walking again.
They reach the huge stone ground. Everything was silent. To silent. Suddenly the red carpet behind them disappeared! They all took slow steps forward remaining on guard. Then suddenly the King twitched then raised his hand up and a barrier shot up and not even a picosecond later, a giant flaming arrow hit the barrier and made flames shoot out for miles and miles! Then the arrow disappears. Then an angle with fire wings descended from the sky.
"Holy shit this is...a class DEMIGOD!" The king's smiled was big.
The temperature started rising dramatically. And the fire was pouring from the Demigod.
The king kept the barrier on the group,
"WHAT! A DEMIGOD!!" Everybody in the group was panicked.
"Everbody, stay in the barrier! Those rings won't work on something so powerful!" The king was itching to fight the demigod.
"What are we going to do then!?" Musabi yelled.
"I going to beat the shit out of it what else!?" The king turning revealing his big smile to them that sent chills down the group's spine.
The king walked out of the barrier and looked at the demigod.
"WHO DARES TO ENTER MY TOMB!?" The demigod angrily spoke. She appeared to be a woman in her late 20's with a flame dress on.
"ME! I CAME HERE FOR A GOOD REASON!" The king had to yell over the roar of the flames.
"A human! How dare you speak to me like you're my equal!" The demigod step on the ground and the heat got hotter.
"My bad girl! I just came here to steal the infinite backpack or whatever! But now I want more than that! I want you!" The king's words shocked the group.
"Are you really trying to get with a Demigod!? You're not worthy!" The Demigod was ready to fire another arrow.
"I want you to be my blade! You would be able to come out but in the blade, your power would be heavily suppressed! And when you come out the blade your power would be even more suppressed! Unless somebody drawls out your power! To put it simply your only as strong as your user!" The king yelled reaching his hand out.
The Demigod smiled. "If you beat me then I'll do as you wish!" The Demigod had a very cocky smile.
"FINE BY ME!" The king let some of his power go and it shocked the Demigod and made her act more serious.
The Demi shot a quick arrow at the King, he dodged it then rushed the demi. She jumped back and shot millions of arrows at the King! He dodged all of them and kept rushing her. She turned her bow into a sword and tried to slice the king's head off but he ducked under the sword and punched her in the stomach. The punch sent her flying backward! She stopped herself with her sword by stabbing it into the floor. She looked pissed...
"H-HOW DARE YOU!! FULL BURNOUT MODE!" The ground started to shake and her sword had blue flames surrounding it.
"In this mode, my sword reaches over 10 trillion degrees and boosts my power!" The demi said trying to intimidate the King.
"That's cool but when did I ask!?" The king made her lose her temper.
She rushed the king, and he rushed at her as well. She swings her blade at his face and the king barley moved out the way by ducking then came up with an uppercut, She dodges to the left and swung her sword at the king's side. He 360 backflipped over the blade and tried to kick her in the face but she blocked it with her free hand. But the kick still made her slide back. The king's smile got bigger then, they started moving too fast and they could not be seen, all you saw was the shock wave from them clashing. They reappeared and the king was falling out of the sky and she started firing arrows at the king as he fell. He dodged all of them, then caught one and spun and threw it back at her with 10 times the force and speed, She quickly pulled out her sword and tried to stop the arrow, a giant explosion of power burst out when her and the arrow collided. She couldn't handle the power so she as fast she could jump back to avoid the arrow piercing her...But the king was already behind her and she jumped directly into him. He delivered a hard straight left directly into her back! She spits up blood and got sent flying again but this time the king didn't let up. The king caught up to her, grabbed her by the neck in a chokehold way, and used the momentum to flip and slam her to the ground! The king stood there and let her get up and recover. She stumbled to her feet and used her sword to balance herself. "AARAAAG!" She yelled with all her might and a huge surge of power came shooting out, going taller than a skyscraper. Then she focuses all that power into her blade and her eyes turned glowing blue.
"SO THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST ATTACK! BRING IT ON!!" The king threw off his jacket.
Time felt like it stopped...Then she took one step and flew at the king and swung her blade at him! He punched her blade barehanded!! And A MASSIVE explosion of power shot everywhere, even from 1000 miles away could see it! She put all her strength into this final swing. "DIIIIIIE!!" She tried to push the king back but he did not budge. The king smiles and looked at her and said "You lose." Calmly and then everything went silent for her as the king pushed back and sent her sword flying out her hand then the king sent a punch at her face and everything slowed down. And she felt death put his scythe up to her neck and her life started to flash. "I don't want to die!" she cried to herself. "I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" Her cries got even louder and just as the punch was about to land the king stopped his fist right in front of her face.
She couldn't breathe, she fell to the ground with tears going down her face. The king bent down and tapped her on the shoulder and her breath returned and she started gasping for air.
"...You didn't piss yourself did you?" The king teased.
"...I don't think so..." She took a few more gasp.
"...If you did it's ok, but you need to tell me or else I won't know if I should buy you some new clothes."
"...Yes I need some different clothes." Her face turned bright red out of embarrassment.
"Alright then. for now, just take off your panties until I can buy you some." The king turned around.
Now that the battle was over they spoke calmly.
"So um, are you really going to turn me into a blade?" She asked.
"Yeah, but you will only transform into the sword when I need you to or when you want to. by the way, what's your name?"
"my name is Ishiga Bellheart. rank Demigod at your service..."
"Hey, there's no need to look so sad. I'm not going to use you as a tool, you'll be more of a companion on our trip." the king gave her a small gentle smile.
"Did you forget I was changing when you turned around and smiled at me or were you trying to see something?" when the king turned around, though she was already done changing.
"Don't worry I wasn't trying to say anything, unless if you WANT me to see." the king said jokingly.
Ishiga smiled at him. even though they were just fighting, a certain level of trust has already been built.
"So I've heard of turning people into weapons but I've only seen it done with dead things so how exactly is this going to work?" Ishiga dusted herself off.
"It's really simple if you actually know how to do it, let me see your hand." the king grabs her hand then touched it and a symbol appeared on it.
"done."
"Damn that was fast! So I can turn into a weapon now, just like that!?" she inspected the symbol on her hand.
"Yep pretty much. Let's try it out." the king reached out his hand and just as he expected she turned into a sword and flew into his hand.
"So this is what it's like to be a blade? not too bad... but it feels like you're grabbing my hands whenever you grab the handle of the sword!" Ishiga didn't really know how to describe the feeling.
"It's probably going to take some getting used to but I'll only make you change when I absolutely have to." The king released her from that form.
Ishiga nodded.
"Alright let's head back, I got to introduce you to the group." the king grinned waving his hand for her to follow him.
the king took his time walking back to the group. They were all getting very cramped in that small barrier.
when they came got back he finally releases the barrier. Then everybody just sat there and looked at him in shock.
"Y-you smooth talker! You really did it!" Stagnum cheered running in to give the king a high five.
"You know I did my thing." The king high-fived him and tried to play it cool.
"Don't get the wrong idea he did not sweet talk me!" Ishiga face was turning red.
"Yeah she's right I didn't... I should tell you what REALLY happened." the king had an evil smile on his face. then that's when Ishiga remember that she peed herself and cried.
"NO THAT NOT NECESSARY!! please don't say anything about that!" at this point Ishiga looks like a tomato from all the embarrassment.
"Alright alright, I won't." The king chuckled through his sentence.
"Anyway everybody introduces yourself. Ishiga is going to be traveling with us for now on."
"Nice to meet you, pretty lady! My name is Stagnum. And I'm going to become pirate kin- I mean the best explorer that this Universe has ever seen!" Stagnum was a big ball of energy like usual.
"I'm Musabi, don't worry about the whole, trying to kill us thing 15 minutes ago. If Tom trusts you, then we do as well." Musabi gave her a reassuring smile.
"Im Luke and-"
"And he belongs to me, Ashly." Ashly jumped and grab Luke and gave Ishiga smiling Death Stare.
"This was unexpected but I guess I just got to go with the flow for right now." Ishiga talk to herself and smiled a bit.
see you next time space cowboy...
