Chapter 88 - Team!!!

Third Person’s POV (12 yrs. and 8 months old)

“Earth Magic: Earthshaker!” shouted Glen as the earth beneath the demon shook as he fell down, but it didn’t harm him, it only created an upside down dome of a 50 meter radius with the demon as the center,

Simultaneously thirteen different magic circles appeared at every direction on the demon, each magic circle comprising of Ken’s friends and the new people.

Allen, Princess Lang, Lila, Saber, Celine, Riyah, Icarus, Flin, Coralia, Trunk, Raze, Cloud, and Rain, had silently positioned themselves on every possible direction the demon vanguard would take, while Glen and Wilbert incapacitated the ten demon slaves with Wilbert’s light magic.

Before all magic from each type of magic circle fired off a beam of condensed elemental energy Ken had blink into the air holding Wilbert by the waist, the magic circles fired simultaneously not giving the demon time to retaliate,

Hitting him head on with various elements ranging from the basic to more complex ones such as time, and psychic in the form of waves.

The demon screamed in anguish as he realized that all those back and forth of spells and attacks was orchestrated by that creature to corner him into this situation, but he doesn’t want to go down without taking anyone from their team.

In a last effort of retaliation, the demon summoned forth a dark red magic circle the radius of twenty meters above him and fired of a dark red beam at Ken and Wilbert. Everyone who did not expect the demon to retaliate in such a fashion,

And fast paced at that, was left in awe-struck, unable to do anything as the beam struck both Ken and Wilbert.

Their magic circles faded, their frames trembling at the sudden assault, the demon cackled lightly, until it gradually turned into a full blown laugh as he continued to fire off every last bit of his energies into the beam upwards,

Finishing in twice the size the beam had fired, his cackles still rang through the still atmosphere, the beam seized but there…

He found…

The creature he hated the most upon his arrival here…

TO BE COVERED IN SOME KIND OF PROTECTIVE LIGHT BUBBLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Inside was Ken without his Death Moon Form, but his eyes shone a silver light, and his hair had also turned silver fluttering in the air, alongside him was Wilbert, unscathed, slowly opening his eyes.

“You can finish him now Wilbert.” said Ken casually, Wilbert hesitated for a second, unbelieving of him surviving that blast earlier, but nonetheless he conjured a magic circle below them the radius of twenty five meters and chanted…

“Light Magic: Light Judgment!” the magic circle summoned a large light sword below them that immediately pierced the demon vanguard, ending its life then and there, before the demon lost consciousness and succumbed to death, he could not believe that he would be defeated in this world, by those measly creatures.

The sword severed him in two before disintegrating him completely, at that, Wilbert’s magic circle ceased and everyone was at a standstill, even the army at the back along with the demon slaves and the ones still pouring out of the demon gate were stunned in place.

For they could not believe that one of their demon vanguards was defeated by the inhabitants of this world. The beasts rejoiced in a loud voice, cheers of victory rang around the field as everyone all but screamed at the top of their lungs.

But their victory was interrupted when a blast occurred near the demon gate, everyone stared in silence.

“You guys think it’s all over? Hellooo, the demon gate’s still not closed.” remarked Ken followed by the returning of his hair color and eyes. He blinked at the demon slaves and chanted…

“Arcane Magic: Arcane Onslaught!” purple blueish magic circles a total of twenty appeared in front of Ken and on the air, the magic circles each conjured purple blueish explosions that further incapacitated the demon slaves.

Ken thinks that he should not let a single one of them retaliate, for if he lets his guard down, then he’s sure these twisted creatures will do something fishy behind their back.

“Everyone take care of the rest of the monsters!” said Ken, the vigor and energy returned to everyone as they all but slaughtered the remaining disoriented monsters from the back.

Surprisingly, no more monsters poured out of the demon gate making their tasks all the more easier, as they all but showed their prowess.

The mountain lion army tore through a battalion with their manipulation of earth, conjuring several earth spears, impaling werewolves and ogres alike.

While the lava and esper wolves massacred another battalion with a variety of fire spells that burned the monsters alive or to a crisp, and psychic spells that tore them from the inside out or made them fight one another.

The last battalion was wiped out by the effort of Ken’s group assisted by the Lion King, and the two alphas, soon enough the battlefield had slowed to a stop, only the demon gate remains.

The group of Ken along with the leaders gathered near Ken at the demon gate, there were no more monsters to fight and kill, only the destruction left in its wake.

“Although we should wait for the demon gate to close on its own as we were told, I have found a way to close it forcefully.” said Ken.

“What?” -Raze-

“How?” -Rain and Cloud-

Apart from these three everyone as well was shocked of the news, but then again, why would they be shocked if their friend is such a weird one, thought of Ken’s friends.

“I just found out about it recently, and to do that, we have to kill those twisted creatures.” Ken pointed at the unmoving demon slaves. The group understood albeit reluctantly.

“Will you please do the honor Wilbert and wipe them out with your light magic?” said Ken. Wilbert stared at him in reluctance

“You don’t need to worry about killing them, for they are not human like us, they are still monsters.” explained but not in an oppressing or offending, nor hasty tone.

“Uh, that helps too, but… how did you know light magic could kill them?” asked Wilbert.

“Oh, it’s because I killed one, or maybe many, with my light moon magic.” said Ken. Wilbert nodded in understanding. “You can either cast a spell that can incinerate them or kill them as long as it’s a light spell, like what I instructed you to do on that one creature earlier.”

“Then, here goes. Light Magic: Light Ray.” Wilbert summoned a magic circle and burst forth a light beam, the same beam he used earlier, hitting all ten demon slaves, disintegrating them on the spot.

The demon gates energies turned unstable as the demons that constantly fed it with energy had died making it close earlier, it wasn’t able to drag any corpse back to the demon world but it was able to drag in the residue dark energies from the fallen corpses of monsters.

Soon after, the sky returned to its original color, and the battle had finally ended. Everyone rejoiced finally as the fight was over, so too all their worries dissipated, but they cannot forget the fact that they also had fallen warriors.

They swore in silence that they will honor their death as they had done in the past, for they lost good soldiers, comrades, friends, the beasts wept upon recognition of this fact and slowly but surely came to look for their companions.

Others found them either cold dead as they wept hard beside their bodies, others rolled, pounced, or rub themselves on one another for surviving this ordeal, Ken watched at the scenery and felt warmth in his heart.

At least he was able to save the majority of everyone, he thought to himself. He turned to his friend, Wilbert, and observed at his empty eyes.

“Do you feel conflicted?” Ken asked. Wilbert looked at him, but bowed his head after

“Yeah, now that it dawned on me, I had killed them with my own hands.” said Wilbert, looking at his hands, clenched them.

“I know I always say that we can discuss this later, but I’ll give you an initial part of my thought.” Wilbert raised his head, tears threatening to fall down his eyes.

“Those were beasts that seek to harm everyone dear to us, and there is no harm or immoral about protecting ourselves and the people we love by retaliating and taking their lives.” Ken approached him and held Wilbert’s face with both hands.

“So don’t be too hard on yourself about this, but it’s okay to cry thought.” Wilbert chuckled lightly at Ken’s attempt at lightening up the mood and hugged him, Celine joined in on the hug, and soon after everyone was in a group hug, consoling one another and finally celebrating their win.

‘Wow, I guess, hugging became a norm to you guys now.’ -White-

‘Right. But I’m not complaining.’ replied Ken as he watched as his companions talk with one another happily. Finally, it is done, he thought.

‘Ehem, aren’t you forgetting something?’ -White-

‘What?’ -Ken-

‘The other gate.’ -White-

‘Oh (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)’ -Ken-
