CHAPTER - 33 - THE POISONOUS LAND OF VERGIF OTROV PART ⑥

The entity who descended downwards, said with a sinister voice,

"My name is Vergif Otrov. Nice to meet you~".

Alcesto outburst with anger. He kept Vanzel's body down on the ground, and slowly, he got up. He clunched his fist and shouted at Vergif,

"How dare you do this to Vanzel?!"

His anger got turned into his weapon. He was overflowing with Azure prowess or godly energy. His Azure coloured aura got so intense that it was clearly visible by naked eyes.

Seeing such a great aura before him, Vergif stepped back a little. He thought for a while and then smiled silently. His lips moved upwards really slow. He descended on the ground as if he had acknowledged the person standing before him is not a normal human being. He didn't stopped his smile and started speaking. He said,

"I see. That's how it is. You... Are not a human, ahn?!"

He shouted intensely. Jae-Hyuk was speechless. He was not able to move an inch. He knew the consequences of moving in front of such a diety. He tried to hide his presence and remained silent. While, Jae-Hyuk was feared by Vergif Otrov and decided to remain silent, Alcesto stood bravely before Vergif. Alcesto's neck was down. He was looking at the ground, then, he slowly raised his head and gazed at Vergif. His golden eyes were shining brightly. His right eye didn't looked of pure golden colour. It was transforming, or rather being covered by his overwhelming Azure aura. He said,

"Yes, your are right. I am not a normal human. I am a demi-God. I am the son of Sylvia-Milo-Azaloth and Wang Lei! I have the blood of Azure emperor running in my veins!"

He slowly stepped forward. Vergif looked into his eyes and speaked softly,

"That's why... I'm giving you a sign of respect and standing on the same level as you, you mongrel."

As Alcesto walked slowly towards Vergif, he remained standing at his place. While walking, Alcesto said,

"I am the Azure emperor's son... And... That's the reason... Why... I have to protect this Earth! It's not because I want to save everyone! I clearly know that it's impossible to save everyone! But... If... I don't save everyone... Then... I can't save my own pride! I have to do this for myself, for my pride, for Azure emperor's pride!"

Suddenly, Alcesto rushed towards Vergif. It was so sudden that Jae-Hyuk didn't saw a thing. His eyes were fixed at the previous position where Alcesto was standing. But, Vergif wasn't like him. He was able to catch up with his opponent's quick movements. He had already blocked the punch of Alcesto which was filled with overwhelming Azure prowess, with his bare hands.

MEANWHILE...

An intense battle was taking place at the opposite side of the castle. Yoon sisters broke through the bridge and out ran their other teammates. The others teammates were also on the land but they were at the border of the land. One strong blow, and they might fell into the magical acid and melt in it. Kyung-Soon was an expert in kickboxing and Kyung-Mi was better in hand to hand combat.

Four demons were surrounding the Yoon sisters. While the demons rushed towards them, Kyung-Soon took the lead and attacked the first demon with a sudden left legged kick. Her kick contained enough divine Gi to knock out a lower demon, but, the higher demon grabbed her leg like a stick. She thought of falling back, but, another demon was ready to kill her from behind. She thought to herself,

"Good grief. What a pain!"

Instead of stepping or falling back, she concentrated her divine Gi on her right leg and and defied the gravity. She jumped high in the air and landed directly on the two higher demon's heads below her. Their eyes gouged out and their head were pierced by Kyung-Soon's divine Gi. A lot of blood was rushing out of their head as their brain materials started falling on the ground.

While Kyung-Soon was showing her expert kickboxing skills, Kyung-Mi didn't lagged behind. She rushed towards the first demon with a nice amount of divine Gi in her right hand. Without any exception, he blocked her attack. But, her Gi force made his hand burn as if he dripped his hand in lava. Divine Gi has always been effective against any type of demon. While she was ready to strike another blow at him, suddenly, another demon, who was lurking behind her back, appeared in her front. She had to back off. Without wasting any second, the demons rushed together at her. She had enough sense of fight and she didn't had to do a lot of thinking to determine the speed and the force of her opponent. The demons attacked countless of times with punches filled with demonic qi but she blocked it with her hands. She didn't felt any pain because of her Megalithium armour which also protected her hands as a glove, and because of her tactics. She negated equal amount of energy the demons negated. After she got an experience in their current fight, she started increasing the amount of Gi in her attacks. The demons' fists started burning and when their attacks got weaker and slower, she found a nice timing of attack and burst open their guts with a fast paced punch filled with overwhelming amount of divine Gi.

While the yoon sisters blocked the attack of the first wave of demons, Zhao prepared enough energy to attack the enemy. Her hands started shining as she released a huge amount of Gi. The colour of her Gi was greenish orange. Her green eyes shone brightly with orange colour as her released Gi formed a magic circle. She chanted a sutra to activate the power of fire to flow into her body freely. She recited,

"I, Bao Zhao, ask thou, the great god of fire, Agnileos, to grant thy bright energy and enlighten this one's dark path!"

She took a breath and recited again in divine language,

"Za greetalsa tva Agni le os, vraiz jalan thair arshi vayatzwa!"

Her magic circle generated huge amount of fire energy. She attacked the first wave which was being blocked off by the Yoon sisters. Her attack headed in form of a huge wave which, upon clashing, created a huge blast and destroyed the first wave which consisted of about twenty demons.

Now, their path was clear. Schwartz asked Deces,

"So... Now, can you create your undead soldiers?"

"Of course. Now, don't worry about me and go and help your other teammates."

"All right. Good luck to you."

As Schwartz walked away, Deces took a deep breath and said to herself,

"Well then... Let's get started!"

She raised her hands upwards, into the air and chanted some kind of sutra. She recited,

"Aanthaar Narto trasherzwairen casshherz... Alviranya!"

She concentrated most of her dark force in her hands and created a small portal on the ground, within which, some specially strong undeads rose. They were ghouls.

While she summoned her undead soldiers, Schwartz was having a rough time fighting a horde of demons. Atleast three to four demons surrounded him. He had enough power and speed to slay the first four demons. He got behind them and ripped their ears off. Since their ears were different than humans, they didn't heard from their internal brain, but they heard mainly from their ears. Once they got deaf, Schwartz attacked their eyes and finally, after gouging out their eyes, he destroyed their brains by his arrow like Gi blasts. But, he got weaker and slower when a horde of four demons came for him once again.

This time, Schwartz was saved by the ghouls which were summoned by Deces. The ghouls were weaker than demons, but, they were superior than demons in matter of speed. The ghouls rushed the demons and sliced off their legs. The demons fell on the ground and were unable to move. Once they got in a tough spot, the ghouls bit off their neck and ate their heads while the blood and flesh material gushed out. Schwartz was disgusted by ghouls, but he was also in their debt.

Using this strategy, Schwartz and others slayed all the fifty demons and became victorious in their battle. After a while, Schwartz gathered his teammates and ordered them. He said,

"I can see that everybody is unharmed and is doing well. So... Let's go and meet up with Vanzel and others."

Everybody agreed to his decision and they rushed quickly to catch up with Vanzel, Alcesto and Jae-Hyuk.

After a while, they arrived at the spot and witnessed a disaster. The castle was down. Jae-Hyuk was lying unconscious. Vanzel was suffering from huge amount of injuries. In the middle of them, Alcesto sat on a large piece of stone with his head looking down and a smile on his face. Everyone had the same thought in their head,

"What the hell happened here?!"
