Wrath of disappointment

Ikaros gave a command to Jay and McElroy to help Lumina out. But when the tried to find an angle to attack. Lumina was already covering it with her furious attack so they couldn't even attack just look at them going back and forth in their relentless attacks and defense. Where Lumina used her entire body while Ikaros just barely used his sword and moved it lightly to block the attack.

Jay and McElroy even used perception to find an area to attack where Ikaros want blocking and Lumina was not already attacking but their perception failed as even though time moved slower it wasn't enough. So it just kept the standing there. Eventually Ikaros grew tired of Lumina and her being unable to understand. Ikaros with the body of the sword struck her and sent her flying in the sky towards the heavens like he had hit a homerun. Lumina pierced the clouds and quickly disappeared like a comet.

Ikaros :

She won't be back for a while, now we can talk in peace.

So how it's going with you two.

Jay :

How did you shift from just a serious tone to casual one this instantly.

Ikaros :

Well it's because you two are special people to me. I still have not forgotten the day where I met you.

After you left there were many news about you both.

You solved the mystery of the Kingdom of stopped time.

But there's one thing I want to know, Why did you attack the

Golden Kingdom, El Dorado.

Jay :

My answer remains the same, it's the fault of that God. He made us do it.

McElroy :

Actually correction, he made you do it. I was just assisting you.

Ikaros :

Then why did you assist him he destroyed hundreds of homes in one fell sweep.

McElroy :

Thats because.

McElroy was rendered speechless. By Ikaros's question. Why did he?

Ikaros :

That doesn't matter now, after all of you didint had, the future might have taken a different turn.

Ikaros :

You've been wondering for a long time why we are fighting with the gods aren't you. Why we kill humans.

And why is everyone after the God Slayer.

Ikaros :

Sorry, can't answer an neutral party. If you want you can force an answer out of me though.

But there is no guarantee on your life.

From the background Lumina once again stepped in after traveling tens of kilometers while running just to get here.

Lumina :

Then i will guranteed that these men will live to see another day.

Ikaros :

You're back already. How nice, though this time I'm not going to hold back.

Ikaros picked up his sword with one hand. And he rested it on his shoulders.

Jay and McElroy charged at Ikaros but they found themselves flying in the air. They were running on the ground but the next moment they were in the air.

While Lumina had already clashed swords with them.

Ikaros :

You can be a strategist, you actually devised something usable, to use a third party for your own disposal.

And how to not associate with them.

Lumina :

So you already knew,.

Ikaros :

I knew before you even started. This is just the basics.

Jay tried to use underhanded tactics as he attacked from the back with his spear. And it pierced

Ikaros :

Your spear will not be able to hurt me, neither will the poison.

Jay :

Everyone get back.

Jay crafted a multitudnal of spears which were launched simultaneously but Ikaros blew them away in one swing.

But from the background there was one soldier who shouted.

Soldier :

They are fighting the Demon king. If we take him down this war will finally end. Let's overwhelm him with our numbers.

Jay restrained Ikaros with his chains and the thickest he could make. He trapped Ikaros in a metallic ball. And filled the inside with liquid metal. Such as Gallium which is liquid at room temperature.

But Ikaros broke out as it was just a ball of paper.

Ikaros swung his sword and a quarter of the army was destroyed. The demons rejoiced. And praised their Demon Lord.

But In that he had forgotten one thing Ikaros discovered that his key was missing.

Jay secretly snatched the key as Ikaros was regenerating and was waiting for the chance to flee the scene thus he didn't use any big attacks because he was trying to conserve mana which would aid in his escape and was slowly putting on distance between him and Ikaros.

As defeating Ikaros was not part of the strategy.

But McElroy had no idea what had happened even when Jay gave the order to retreat McElroy still fought on as he took up his sword and covered it with water and used it like a chainsaw. But Ikaros blocked it and deflected it.

Jay :

McElroy this is the time to defeat him.

McElroy :

We can do it.

Ikaros :

Then come at me.

It was not a message of encouragement but rather a signal that they had to escape and their objective was complete.

McElroy made a huge body of water and Jay used his fires to boil the water and vaporize it. Turning the entire battlefield to very thick mist.

And both of them started to run away as fast as they can with their boosters they flew in the air.

Meanwhile Ikaros just waived his sword and the entire fog lifted. And Ikaros saw them escaping.

Lumina :

Cowards. Fine I'll take you on.

Lumina daw Ikaros as his expression changed drastically. It was like his expectations were betrayed. Ikaros was filled with rage. Not because of them. They always had remained the same. But Ikaros had expected too much.

Ikaros threw two stones and it struck both of them and both fell to the ground. Ikaros in the blink searched Jay and retrieved the key before Jay could store it safely in his inventory.

Ikaros :

Both of you say your prayers, today you die.

Both of them gulped and the next moment when Jay saw McElroy he found McElroy being protruded with a thick ass sword and it tore through his guts and intestines, broke through

McElroy perished.

The prophecy had fulfilled.

The future couldn't be prevented.

McElroy died.

Jay was now alone. But he couldn't react. Viva screamed at Ikaros. Ikaros couldn't control his anger. Lumina remained unfazed.
