The Irregulars
Chapter 27
The undying rushed, Runa's wishes was like their only reason as a walking dead. the survivors saw the hundreds of undying gathered on Runa as they thought whether it is Hope or another despair to be feared as their life was on deaths door.
Gen who saw Runa's power in control, he felt satisfaction, fulfilment and amazed on Runa, standing in front of him with the courage and hope he gave.
"does it mean you now accept it Runa?" he said, "Yes, i want to go in a journey with you" she replied the answer Gen is looking for therefore he let smile out of his face.
"you broken free from my curse? then i take you in a hard way princess, i Must take you with me!" Sylvara spat blood. her wounds was not healed due to angelic damage she took.
she too her whip rotating it midair, the thorny vine whip extended instead of a single vine whip, it multiplied to five rotating midair. within a single wave of her hand, the thorny whips slams straight to Runa. "Take my whips Princes!".
however the undying knights created a barrage of themselves with their shield, the impact from the whip, it cut the first undeaths to block yet unable to get through the undying shields, while the undying archers fired their arrows at Sylvara. hundreds of arrows were shot at The demoness.
Sylvara flickered her hand, a strong wall of wind manifested from her magic, blocking all the arrows. the undying mages were not sitting idle after a few minutes, they casted a spell at once forming into a single massive spell. *Chants "mass explosion!" Sylvara's Shield Broke and ingulfed with flame.
"this damned bastards! your all already Dead Go back to the Ground!". her spiritual energy surged up, she summoned multiple demonic beast. "Come Dark wolves!". six Blackest wolves heed's her call. their Black fur, huge body and gleaming Red eyes with sharp fang, appeared around her.
each wolf were as huge as a warhorse, as they Howled "Wooooooo!" the surroundings became more darker, Rendering a person sight to 1 meter around, the undying decreased in a short amount of time. the wolves hunts with their pack in the shadows only be seeing their red eyes.
moments in the middle of the chaos, a single wolf appeared in front of Runa, with it's menacing appearance. it attacks with its Claws straight to Runa, however in this moment "CLANG!" Gen was able to block it with his Mana blade infused with lightness that is illuminating the darkness.
"Runa, don't worry i got your back" said Gen, Runa smiles "Thank you... Gen". her power burst to triple fold. the undying became stronger, they unlocked their a part of their past skills when they were alive.
the wolves raised their claws and struck the soldiers, however the undeath Knights was stuck on its claw and retaliated with their undying blades. the wolf paws were cut by the undying soldiers, the arrows rained even in the darkness as undying archers don't need eyes.
Gen Casted his magic spell "Dark Thorns" impaling the Wolf legs, added with his Shining Blade that struck the wolfs arms, rendering its movement. in a single swing, his sword struck the wolfs neck.
"That's one down... five more left". he said standing on front of Runa with exhaustion, However what Runa saw was a Hero despite all the odds. "Y-yes... your very strong Gen" she complements.
the five wolves howled "Whooo!" Sylvara laughed. "one of their family died, they target the killer" Said Sylvara. five Dark wolves came at Gen, appearing from the darkness. "seems like i have to stay awake... im really tired you know" Gen thoughts.
suddenly a laser beam came "Peww" piercing through one of the wolf head. "Yo Gen *huff huff" It was Claude. on the back of the wolves, a sword slashed on another wolf, *Slash, cutting its legs and beheading it clearly. "*huff huff huff sorry everyone" it was Rein. Gen smiled an excitement filled his hearth, the trio reunited.
"the wolves are down to 3... lets pick our prey at least" said Gen.
"sorry guys, i sacrificed most of my power" said Rein.
"Huh??" claude questioned.
"it was like... i used one of my life force... the life force the sage gave me is sacrificed for a greater power for a moment".
Sylvara was not idle, "Foolish mortals... i will my innate ability" Sylvara's Green eyes Glowed Brightly marks of Green vines with thorns and leaves appeared on her skin. "I Sylvara the Demonic Druid, blessed with nature itself, command all the plants in this forest to heed my call and capture those pest!". "NatureDemon" she changed form, this ability was only valid to Sylvara as the demon of nature, her wings turned green, her hair became more Greenish and her power was boosted.
her transformation healed all of her wounds yet the pain from the angelic damage was left uncured, with her call the surrounding Trees moved on their own by eating energy within the ground. their branches length grew and followed all enemies around, attacking most of the undying.
the three wolves attacked in unison, they choose three individuals as their prey, Gen, Rein and Claude. while Sylvara with her speed she moved instantly behind Runa. "Advanced Dark Magic- Curse: Demonic Nightmare " The cursed spell was about to devour Runa, however three Light came down from the sky.
The other Light Struck Sylvara's arm with its Blazing Sword, it was King Norza, the other one appeared behind and struck her chest with its flaming Blade, it was the Head of Knights Zex, and the other one who used his magic to transport those two was none other than Lucien the Mage of Light.
"*huff huff, sorry boys we arrived late!" said Lucien.
"Runa my daughter... is these undying knights are your doing?" Norza asked.
"...Yes father....." she said with fear.
"...Good, i failed to protect my soldiers... even they are now undying can you protect them in my stead?" Norza asked, but with the intent to make Runa use her power with confidence.
"Y-yes father... i will try my best..." she replied.
Mean while Zex held Sylvara with his burning armor and sword, penetrating Sylvara from her back, burning her.
"do you think this fire is enough to burn me! insolent!" she's pissed Sylvara casted Water magic "Hydra Blast!" empowered with Spiritual arts the spell turned into a water dragon that devoured The flaming Zex from Sylvara's Back.
Zex was knocked out, being eaten by Water and pushed with high water pressure, his consciousness faded as he is very tired from the battles.
at once the sky was illuminated by dark light. "damned Mortals! to push me this far! you all shall pay!". countless black thunder rained down, striking all the area except the trees.
Everything was Silent, Sylvara sensed a very few people alive. however the target she wants to kill were alive, thanks to Gen's Shadow mend and Dark share magic spell, the Group survived from the Lightning.
"urgh, this humans" she snarled. "i already used 80% of my power just to defend from that damn angel's attack, and used about 15% from the battles and all the troubles, this situation is dangerous" she thought.
Gen and the others appeared from the shadows, Gen spit Blood " this is the second time im depleting my magical energy" says Gen. "you Should Rest" said Lucien while the others leaped to Sylvara. Rein Raised his Sword, a slash on the shoulder yet the clade didn't cut through but only made a small wound.
"this is the end Demon!" King Norza, while Bleeding, He Pierced Sylvara's Chest with his Blazing Blade infused with all of his remaining energy. the Blade Pierced right through the hearth.
Sylvara spit blood, her regeneration was weaker due to the angelic damage she received from Seraphyre. with a single strike from her arms Norza was Knocked out a few meters unconsciously.
"i need to scape" Sylavara flapped her wings and Flew. "i must not die, i can rebuild anytime as long as i live, Princess i will come back and turn you my slave" after a few moment of flying she landed.
"im too tired, shit i must summon some of my underlings, though my energy would be empty" she casted, a magic circle appeared it took 4% of Sylvara's energy until the complete summoning, however it was sliced by Light.
From the shadows, he appeared, "you... Why are you Here?!".
a slight smile came from his face, "Sorry but i still have energy left, Since you don't have any powers left my Luminous cage would work on the weakened you"
"Heh! Whatever you do im immortal, my body will regenerate properly for the next day and even if you destroy my body my soul will only resurrect to hell!"
"But your plans to have Runa will be wasted, she will grow more stronger when you come back, she might hunt you the other way around, you know her true power right?".
"tsk, what about you, do you think the world will view you as a savior? they won't, instead they will view you as the mastermind behind it all, just by saving that cursed princess they will see you as their enemy"
"i don't care, if the world sees me as an enemy then so be it, i wont hide because i didn't do anything wrong, what i only did was to save an individual that may became a savior if nurtured right with the right environment".
"You're sane"
"I am"
"You're an idiot, giving me time... Why don't you just kill me"
"I won't, I rather seal you, there might be a possibility that you will gather more demons from hell to resurrection to this world"
"Heh! Then why don't you seal me"
"Because there's still something I want"
"...?"
"I want you to have a contract with me" Gen suggested.
"Huh? Are you an idiot, I'm an S-ranked Demon why do I have to have a contract with a mere kid?".
"I'm human for a reason, and if you take a contract with me... Then I promise to Grant some of your wish".
"Interesting, this human Kid he is easy to control mentally, it will only take a month to make him my slave plus he has a unique affinity of Light and Darkness". She thought
"Interesting! Then I take your offer, I Give you power and grant me my wish"
"However I don't want some common contract demon, I want a contract that will bound both of us, to make sure no betrayal will happen" Gen commented.
Sylvara thought for a moment.
"This Kid... well it's a win win for me, plus he is interesting he has potential, I want him as my servant and I don't wanna die for now, I have my plans, this is a chance" she thought.
"Sure there's a unique contract I know, by exchanging blood our body is bound together, it I hurt you I will hurt myself ten fold, however the same goes to you"
"That is fine"
Sylvara slitted his palm and so does Gen.
"Hold my hand boy" as they press they blooded hand a surge of energy emitted.
[SYSTEM: BLOOD PACT ON PROGRESS!]
[SYSTEM: BLOOD PACT COMPLETED!]
[SYSTEM: NEW ABILITY GAINED - "DEMONIFICATION - TRANSFORM THE USER INTO A DEMONOID FOR 12 HOURS A WEEK"
"Boy the ritual is done, how do you feel?"
"I feel dark power surging within me... How about you?, did you gain something?" Gen asked.
"Ohh yes I do, I am able to take control of your body for 12 hours a week, whether your unconscious or not" she let out a grin.
