Chapter 19. The Battle (3).

After absorbing the core of the werewolf, Kharos overall stats has now increased.

Meanwhile, inside the celestial cage, there was a throne and on that throne was sitting an Apex, the strongest one.

At the same time, Indraksha has now healed and was now heading towards the celestial cave. He reached the cave and found only the dead bodies of the Apex, werewolf and Crateris. He was surprised to see that and whispered, "What monster did this? "

When he reached the cave, Kharos was already gone from there.

He went inside the celestial cave and heard some roars and clashes of weapon from the cave. He rushed towards the battle sound and found couple of devil soldiers battling each other and a beast sitting on the throne, the king amongst the kings, the strongest Apex.

There was a privilege of throne. If anyone sat on the throne of the Apex, there overall stats increases tremendously for 72 hours.

Many devil soldiers went inside the cave but had to fight amongst each other to increase their chance of fighting the strongest Apex and suddenly Indraksha sensed something coming towards him and dodged.

Indraksha moved his eyes towards the one who attacked him and he didn't thought that he was going to incounter him here, Kharos.

A few minutes ago

Kharos heard a sound of battle from inside the cave and decided to check. He came inside the cave and saw the same thing Indraksha saw.

Present Time

"I didn't thought i am gonna encounter you here, Kharos. " said Indraksha to Kharos.

"Same here. " replied Kharos to Indraksha.

Kharos then summoned his dark daggers and charged on Indraksha.

Indraksha summoned his ice battle axe and charged on Kharos.

A fierce battle started between these two and the suddenly between the battle, Indraksha grabbed the left hand of Kharos and freezed it.

Kharos left hand was now useless but before Indraksha could do anything else, Kharos created a hand from his dark element and captured Indraksha.

Indraksha used his stone element and destroyed the hand created by Kharos and charged towards Kharos.

Meanwhile, someone attacked on the Apex sitting on the throne. The soldier was an elite rank who used electric element. The name of that devil soldier was Lux.

Lux attacked on the Apex using his electric element power but the Apex easily deflected it. Then the Apex using his speed and the buffs he got from the throne grabbed the skull of Lux and pushed it on the ground but then, Lux smiled and chanted, "Thunder." and an electric strike fall on the Apex and Lux.

Lux has a ability he obtained from his element that if he gets attacked by the same element he have and the attack connects then Lux will get 5% increase in attack and defence.

Lux used his element and his right fist became charged with electricity.

He punched the Aped and the Apex felt electric shot but it didn't hurt him much. The Apex grabbed the leg of the Lux and started continuously thrashing him on the ground and then the Apex throw him towards Indraksha and Kharos.

Indraksha and Kharos busy in their own battle accidently sliced Lux into 3 pieces and Lux was eliminated.

They didn't care much and again started the battle between them.

Kharos used his dark magic and made a chain from which he captured the right leg of Indraksha and started thrashing him on the ground and Indraksha used his Ice Domain but Kharos used his wings and fly to escape the effect of Ice Dominion.

Kharos then throw Indraksha on the wall of the cave.

Outside in the spectator area, "Kharos is giving a match to Indraksha. " said Nyxara.

"Do you know that bastard hurting my master? Wait, are you working with him? Is your plan to kill my master for being hot? " questioned Fiora to Nyxara.

"Huh, what do you mean? He is our teammate too. His name is Kharos and his amazingly smart. " said Nyxara with a proud smile.

Then Fiora said mockingly to Nyxara, "Oh, is that nerd your boyfriend. "

Nyxara replied with anger, "HE IS BETTER THAN YOU AND HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND. "

The battle with Kharos and Indraksha became more intense. Their movements were now hard to see. It was really hard to say who had the upper hand. Kharos with only his right hand was able to rival Indraksha.

"Why are you not using your full strength and going all out? " asked Kharos to Indraksha.

Indraksha replied, "It's not like i am the only one not going all out and if i go all out now then whose gonna defeat that monster sitting on the throne? "

Kharos said, "Why do you think that you are the only one who can defeat that monster? "

And Indraksha replied dodging the question of Kharos, "So you don't deny the fact that i am not the only one whose not going all out? "

Right when Indraksha completed his sentence, he again used Ice Domain and Kharos was not able to dodge it and got freezed. Indraksha then walked towards Kharos and said, it was a good battle buddy but i won.

"See, witch, my master is better than your nerd boyfriend. " said mockingly Fiora to Nyxara.

Nyxara with anger said, "WHY ARE YOU CALLING HIM MY BOYFRIEND!? "

Indraksha took his stone battle axe and swinged it to cut the frozen Kharos into 2 pieces but right before his axe could touch Kharos, a crimson flame fall between them and Indraksha suddenly took his steps back to dodge the flame.

Kharos's ice melt and he got free from the frozen state and his left hand's ice melted too.

He said, "I was lucky that the demon came. "

A demon rank soldier joined the battle of Indraksha and Kharos and the soldier who joined the battle was the wielder of Hellfire, Ignis.

Ignis said, "You guys were having fun without me. Not fair. "

Indraksha said, "Dude, i was just going to eliminate Kharos. Why did you interrupted now? You could have wait a second. "

Ignis said, "Why would i let the fun go. Fighting two opponents at the same time is more fun than fighting one. "

Right after finishing his sentence, he charged towards Indraksha.

"Who's that bastard who just interruped my master's battle!?? " asked Fiora with anger.

"He is also the part of our team, Ignis. " replied Nyxara.

Then Nyxara asked Lilithra, "Why are you so quiet? "

Lilithra replied, "Didn't you said if i do anything then my Indraksha will get eliminated. "

And with a guily smile, Nyxara said, "Oh, is that so...? "

Kharos attacked Ignis but Ignis dodged it and summoned inferno right beneath Kharos but Kharos easily dodged it.

The clashes between the Kharos, Indraksha and Ignis was so fierce that anyone who was coming between their battle was getting eliminated from the tournament.

Nearly, most of the devils present inside the cave got eliminated because they came between the battle of Ignis, Kharos and Indraksha.

Their battle continued for atleast 15 min but then suddenly, the Apex joined the battle and throw a big stone towards them.

All three of them dodged the stone but now they had a bigger problem infront of them. The strongest Apex with the tremendous amount of buffs provided by the throne.

The battle was now turned against the Apex but was not 3v1 but 1v1v1v1.

The battle was now who defeats the Apex first while fighting each other.

It was Ignis who first charged towards the Apex among them and attacked it.

The Apex used it's left hand to block the hellfire but it's left hand got burned.

Even from the buff, the Apex's defence was not able to completely block the attack of Ignis.

Then Kharos and Indraksha attacked Ignis so that he can't damage the Apex much and take the credit. While Indraksha was busy fighting Ignis, Kharos took the opportunity and rushed towards the Apex but suddenly he recived kicks from Ignis and Indraksha and they both said at the same time, "DID YOU REALLY THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD LET YOU HAVE YOUR WAY WITH THE APEX, HUH?!? "

Fiora said mockingly to Nyxara, "Hmn! your boyfriend deserved that. "

Nyxara said with anger, "WHY ARE YOU CALLING HIM MY BOYFRIEND AGAIN AND AGAIN!? "

The Apex grabbed the leg of Indraksha and before he could throw him on the ground, Indraksha cut the hand of the Apex and Kharos took the opportunity and punched the Apex giving it a lot of damage.

Ignis didn't got a chance to attack Apex so he grabbed the skull of both Indraksha and Kharos and pushed them in the ground and said, "I thought i told you both that i ain't letting you both have all the fun alone. "

Indraksha chanted, "Ice Domain" and Kharos used his wings to fly and escape his move but Ignis didn't had any wings and he got freeze.

Indraksha said, "Never let your guard down, buddy. "

And right after he finished his sentence, all the ice surrounding Ignis melt and Ignis said, "Did you really thought that your pathetic move will work on me, Indraksha? "

Indraksha gave him a smile and they both got into a battle.

Here, Kharos tried to again seize the opportunity but he also got grabbed into the battle of Ignis and Indraksha.

All the remaining soldiers who were inside the cave was shocked to see these 3 devils dominating the strongest Apex while fighting each other.

Suddenly, Ignis came flying towards the soldiers who were watching him and Ignis used his move, Abyss Flame at behind him so he could minimize the damage he was going to get after clashing with the cave's wall but because of that all the soldiers standing near that wall got obliterated by the Abyss Flame.

Ignis then rushed towards Kharos and Indraksha and all three of them again got into their battle. In the entire celestial cage anyone could hear the clash of the weapons of Ignis, Kharos and Indraksha.

The Apex came running towards all three of them with full anger and anyone could tell that the Apex has entered the berserk mode. It's eyes turned red and it's hand grew back.

The Apex grabbed Ignis and throw him on the ground then he punched Indraksha and he got slammed on the wall.

Before the Apex could do anything to Kharos, Ignis grabbed the leg of the Apex and thrashed him on the ground. Ignis used his Abyssal Flame on Kharos and to dodge that, Kharos stepped back.

Ignis had the perfect opportunity to kill the Apex and occupy the golden throne for himself.

He summoned the blue flames and directed his hellfire towards the core of the Apex but before the hellfire could touch the core of the Apex, a dark beam came from the sky and fall on the Apex and Ignis, obliterating everything it fell on.

Everyone was shocked to see the dark light, because it was not launched by any of the participants but by an outsider.

"Sir Kael, what's that and why did it fall on Ignis!? " asked Alina to Kael while panicking.

Kael replied, "Princess, i think i know who did this and if i am right, then Ignis's life is in danger. "

Everyone's eyes was now focused on Ignis because they didn't know whether Ignis was alive or not as he did not got summoned out of the celestial cage.

The dark light disapeared and there was no trace of the Apex. The Apex got obliterated completely by the dark light and for Ignis, he was wounded badly and was covered by his blue flame which got activated in a defence mode automatically.
