Spared.

Two of the five heavenly demons had been defeated.

And now three remain. Agni Metal and Raijin.

McElroy faced Agni.

He had held his blade against the Heavenly demon who was yearning for peace. As he tried to solve the bloodshed by a simple game of chess. But he lost. And God knows what would happen to him if he returned to Ikaros without achieving any results.

But Agni was prepared to accept his fate since he was outsmarted by his opponent in the game. And both of them played seriously. Tsuchi had kicked the chessboard into the sea where it would be impossible to retrieve due to the fish problem.

While Jal and Tsuchi fought Jay. Agni still tried to convince McElroy.

Agni :

Why do you fight me. I believe we both find a common ground which doesn't involve us fighting to death.

McElroy :

The what happens now. You can't go to the mainland.

You'll certainly be dead if you return to the island.

Agni :

It is my fate to look for a way. Since I lost.

McElroy :

By losing a game of chess doesn't mean you should now look for a place to die. Hey you still want to see the stars.

McElroy :

The I Will make you see stars.

McElroy commented as a punch appeared from his hand.

A gigantic hand made of water which turned into ice slammed Into an unsuspecting Agni.

It turned into water. In a second with a Agni lit with fire.

McElroy without rest tried to push him in an unsuspecting direction. As he goofed his entire area with water. Pushing the unsuspecting direction into the water. With some humans as well but due to the flow of the water the humans were pulled out of the water.

Agni tried to evaporate the water with a controlled birth of se of flames both seas collided with each other. And nothing but fog came out of it. Soon the fog engulfed the area where they both were fighting.

While Jay was being barraged with constant attack by Jal and Tsuchi. McElroy was still trying to do something that he thought in a fly. But for it to go smoothly it needed to be natural. If it seemed unnatural the entire plan would fail.

McElroy tried to wall off the entire the area so he could have some less eyes but the damn earth mages. They don't understand why I'm trying g to do. A squad of mages interfered in the battle.

Mages :

Sir McElroy well fight with you as well.

Squad assist Sir McElroy.

This made things more complicated.

McElroy :

Turn back this is my fight.

But they were far away and the sound couldn't reach their ears because. Of the constant bombing. Overhear.

The mages thought it was a signal for attacking. And the mages pooled their mana into one and attacked as a giant water serpent emerged out of the pool. The water serpent was like a version of tempest but cheaper. And more water like. But before it could hit Agni. Agni faced his palm forward and took the attack head on where the entire water snake evaporated and stopped existing.

And to that Agni a fast ball of flame that emanated from his Palm and was launched towards them which touched them and resulted them in an explosion resulting in immediate death.

McElroy :

Idiots I told them to not come close.

Agni :

McElroy I just have a request can you please shoot me a spell like that one.

McElroy made a serpent with his own mana pool but attuned it to his own specifications. It actually looked like Tempest had reincarnated in the attack. McElroy let it go And it touched the palms of Agni.

But this time the attack engulfed Agni on its own and when the attack was over Agni was left frostbitten..

Agni :

Again.

With each and every attack McElroy would make on Agni he would budged just a little in the direction that he wanted.

It took at least 35 attacks that got Agni in a sweet spot. It was at a point where by any attack Agni wouldn't end up frostbitten. But he was avoiding to go I to shock by changing the temperature of his body suddenly. But increasing the temperature to be avoided to be dropped.

McElroy :

Do you still wish to see the stars in the mainland. Even if it will mean leaving everyone.

Agni :

Yes I am prepared for my death now. Finish it.

What came was not an attack of water but a literal slam of a wall. As a slab of wall was slabbed into Agnis face resulting him to fall in the water.

And when he fell into water. He was soon about to become dinner of the monstrosities that lied in the sea. But a vesicle or a membrane of air pocket covered him and took him away. Whilst avoiding all the monsters and it reached in the far side shore of the mainland where the bubble finally popped. Leaving an Agni on the shores of the mainland.

Where now he was considered as deceased by everyone.

As Mcelroy roared as a sign of his victory making it evident that the third Hevanely demon had been defeated.

While on the other side Jay had impaled a chained beast with the spear of the Demon Hunter. And the poison finally killed her.

Which marks the three heavenly demons being killed.

And what lied ahead were the remaining two.

Just two more then we're almost reached the island.

Where the one who we have being dreading the most will arrive. It seemed like that Ikaros has no part in the war at all he's just like a politician who just makes an appearance and then retreats to the back lines while everyone fights.

Agni reached the shores of the mainland there was a cave where the bubble breaked. And Agni was tossed out onto the shore of the cave. And became the first demon to reach the mainland.

Agni :

Seems my intuition is never wrong. Now where did he say I can see the stars. I think it was north of here.

Agni was spared and a fight was mostly avoided. Despite the minor clashes that took place.

Jay broke through the wall that McElroy had raised and spoke with McElroy.

Jay :

Did he reach the shores safely.

McElroy :

What shores, what do you mean?

Jay :

If that how you want to play it then.

Jay knew that Agni was spared. Because McElroy was the only one who could think of such a thing. A ridiculous plan but it did seem to convince everyone.

The battle was not over yet. As came from the skies with a thunderous roar were their next opponents.

Metal and Raijin.

Raijin :

You are strong indeed you managed to kill three of us.

But your luck is damned the second you met me.
