EPISODE 93
Standing in the middle of the war zone between the evil souls and the masters of the earth, Brody skimmed the surroundings, following his most fearful attack.
He created cracks in between the lands, burying the escapees from hell while he once again attacked using his body of steel. The master of the earth decided to charge after Amanda was sent elsewhere.
Opposite to Brody, Taara had also created a small tornado that easily su-cked in the evil souls.
Both masters effectively turned each and every one of Hades’ soldiers into dust!
From behind them, Abasi kept saying, “Just a little more! Christopher needs more time, guys!”
The rest of the masters knew not what they were waiting for and how the soul slayer was going to work, but they had no choice but to follow Abasi. Only Abasi knew how it worked.
From behind the line of the evil souls, Hades tried to think things throu-gh. He muttered, “I don’t know why the soul slayer wielder is not yet awakened, but he will be soon. You should attack now, Khalid!”
Looking fiercely at the masters before them, Hades added, “Don’t give them a chance to recover!”
“Right!” Confirmed Khalid. His nose flared and his eyes turned demonic as he declared, “It’s time for me to kill you, current masters of the earth!”
Khalid knew that without Amanda and Christopher, the warriors would only be the master of earth and that of the wind! He was bound to win this war, for even if Amanda’s son held the Venusian Sword; he was equipped with powers, effective in long-range attacks.
For as long as the boy was away from him, Khalid concluded, he was safe.
He raised his palm and revealed all six crystals in his hand. The strength revolved around his grip, making him smile in confidence for what he was about to do with the current adversary of his life!
To give him the power of speed, he used the same strength as Amanda, thru-sting back out his fiery wings. However, combined with the power of the white crystal, his fire was even greater.
While the evil souls were still regenerating their original form, Khalid flew up in the sunny skies of Aeros, ready to attack!
Trisha threw in her shuriken blade while Khalid was blazing towards her, but he protected himself, combined with the safeguards of all six crystals. It merely ricocheted, returning to Taara’s hands.
“Ecssssss! fu-ck this!” Taara could not help but be angry at how easily Khalid was able to evade her attack.
Using eighty percent of his strength, Brody created a thick wall of stone in the path of Khalid, but no matter how high his wall grew up, Khalid flew even higher until he went past the barricade that blocked his path.
Drifting from above, Khalid stormed to where Christopher’s body remained to rest on Orion’s side. His ultimate goal was to rid himself of the greatest hazard to his objectives.
“Taara, Brody, I’ll bring you closer to Khalid,” told Abasi in their heads, and in a fraction of a second, it was Brody facing Khalid in mid-air.
The master of the earth practically acted as Khalid’s heavyweight! He hug-ged Khalid tight with his body of steel. Both of them easily descended in high-speed until landing ha-rd against the dust!
The second they crashed to the ground, Abasi quickly brou-ght back Brody to their line.
The next to attack Khalid was Taara, reappearing before him meters above his body. She thru-st out her spiraling blade at her, but Khalid managed to flee, using the power of the green crystal!
He jumped fifty meters away from them, just in time for all the evil souls to take their full form, ready for another round of a-ssault!
Before Taara could strike again, she was brou-ght back from behind the line where Abasi stood. He settled a few feet from where Christopher remained lifeless and Orion, still waiting for his father’s awakening as the soul slayer.
The escapees from hell need no further instructions. They began to charge toward the masters, some climbing against the high wall that Brody created. For those who were easily in front of the masters, they ran madly with every intention to slay!
As Khalid retreated to Hades’ side, they watched eagerly to see if the masters could still keep up. They knew that the master of earth and wind were already overworked. It was only a matter of time before they would give up or use the pool people of the land to defend their own territory!
Just when they thought that the masters would weaken, they suddenly saw a bright white light, emitting in front of Abasi. The light was so intense; it was blinding. It spread in the same line as Hades’ soldiers and like a shock wave; it eradicated anything against its path!
Brody had to act fast, bringing down the stone wall he created, but to his surprise, even his powerful wall was taken down by the bright white light!
Sounds of crumbling rock easily echoed against the vast land. The shrieking of the escapees from hell once again became deafening!
Hades had to hide inside Khalid’s body as they jumped in-between spaces to flee the sudden blast! They moved a thousand feet in the air and only after acknowledging they were in a safe distance, did Abasi kept himself afloat, using the power of gravity.
“What – what was that?!” Khalid asked, screaming in anger. He thought the power was so familiar, but he could not believe that it existed in this world.
He pan-ted as he slowly descended five hundred meters to the ground. Just as the white light disappeared, he finally saw the source of the immense power!
His eyes wide-ned in horror, and his heart nearly jumped out of his chest! He screamed, “No… No!!!”
Shaking his head and turning his face into a complete grimace, he yelled out the name that deprived him of a powerful youthful essence, “Agatha! The Supreme white witch of the moon! How?! This cannot be!”
Khalid could not believe his eyes. The white witch had sided with the masters, the same being he had nearly killed in the future.
“You! I – I know how to defeat you!” Announced Khalid. He feared not to fly lower and lower, coming closer to where the white witch was. Khalid wanted to see clearly for himself.
To his surprise, his words did not scare Agatha. She merely raised her chin and said, “In the future, you will find a piece of the moon serpent’s eye that would use to weaken me and my people, but that same piece is now safely hidden, back to where no one else could dare get it!”
“In this time, Khalid, you will not be able to cripple me!” Said Agatha strongly. “And my people will live! It will be your future that will suffer and not mine!”
The battle continued. This time, Agatha did the fighting with all her powers. They needed to buy time for Christopher and she was part of the team to keep the forces of the evil souls away! She allowed the masters to take a rest.
Khalid, with Hades inside of him, on the other hand, momentarily fled back above the skies, keeping away from Agatha’s reach. He feared for Agatha’s strength, for he knew her capability.
However, he also knew that a white witch’s power was limited when attacking. Moreover, her body would soon require rest. She wasn’t meant for war, not like them, the masters of the earth.
When the evil souls revived, Agatha sent another shocking wave of bright light, leaving the souls turning into ashes once more.
What Agatha unleashed next were her snakes, creating it merely with her magic! Even if it would not technically kill the soldiers of Hades’, but she did what she had to do, hoping to give her son more time to awaken.
While Agatha did the defending, Abasi went to Solaris to have a talk with Amanda. They needed her. They needed her calm and thinking properly in this fight.
***
After having a talk with Akurra, Amanda still shed tears in the head of the sea serpent. She finally understood the plan. She hated it and she recognized, she might have objected to it altogether and tried to find another way.
But whether there was another way or not, it might take them too long to find out.
Amanda said weakly, “Akurra – how can I live with myself knowing what will become – ”
“Shhhhh… Do you know what was the happiest day of my life, Amanda? It was when I had the chance to serve Christopher, a descendant of the moon. I have lived hundreds of years of misery, only to experience contentment after serving my master and meeting his family,” responded Akurra.
“Now, you must return to Aeros for your friends and your son need you,” ordered Akurra.
In the nick of time, Abasi appeared before them. Both Amanda and Akurra quickly felt his presence.
From the above them, Abasi said, “Amanda, I’m sorry for keeping this from you.”
