Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Destruction

Sparks fly as Kaiser and Andromeda's weapons clash against each other, their eyes locked onto the other's.

"You know for a demon You have beautiful eyes, pity I'll have to gouge them out"

Andromeda jumps back and flies into the air a green magic circle appears in front of her, growing larger by the second.

"I wonder how you'll deal with this"

Kaiser throws his sword, and flies behind it only to get blasted off to the side by a hidden magic circle.

"Did you really think I'd fall for that again?"

Kaiser, now kneeling on the ground looks up and just smirks at her.

"no, although it's good distraction especially for you"

Andromeda's eyes widen before she's kicked in the back by Deakon into a large building, causing it to fall on top of her.

Deakon flying in the air, his wings flapping as he continues to look at the now destroyed building.

"I know you're not dead from that, stop hiding"

Not a single noise except for the sound of his wings flapping, Kaiser now floating besides him, recalls his shadow sword.

"Fine we'll come to you" said Deakon

The two dive bomb to the destroyed building, flames covering Deakon entirely and shadows covering Kaiser's arms, their auras clashing together before combining into a red and black storm.

Andromeda emerged from the rubble looking up at the incoming blue of destruction, her mouth moving but silent, as more magic circles appeared on top of each other intending to block their attack.

The two getting closer and closer breaking through the circles each shattering like glass with their combined power.

Her last circles break as the two crash into the ground a bright light flashes then an explosion rings out sending shockwaves, destroying blocks of the slums buildings erased completely, only dust where they used to stand.

Silence as Dust is still in the air, wood splinters falling to the ground, rocks turned into pebbles, as the dust begins to settle a crater starts to show through the dust with now four silhouettes.

Kaiser and Deakon still in the air their shirts destroyed and their pants barely intact, as their fist are struggling against a bladed arm.

Behind this bladed arm is a Monster they've never seen before: its head a giant mouth with steel like teeth, its arms a long blade and the other a huge axe, its body was extremely muscular to the point it looked painful.

"What the hell is–

Before he could finish the monster teleported above them and stomped them into the ground, Andromeda, now in front of them, kicks them out of the crater, sending them crashing through the ground.

Deakon and Kaiser, now laying on the ground, try to stand only for the Monster to appear again and stomp its feet into their stomachs causing them to cough out blood and spit.

The Monsters head looks down its giant teeth covered in saliva as it roars in their faces.

Kaiser grabs its leg, planting a shadow on its thigh.

"You ugly son of a bitch"

Deakon grabs its other leg and lifts trying to free himself, the two begin to lift its feet pushing the grotesque thing off them.

The two teens now hunched over catching their breath as the Monster just walks towards them, Andromeda, landing on its left, her face plastered with a smile.

Kaiser wipes the blood off his mouth looking at Deakon.

"We need a plan,and quick"

Deakon pops his neck and shoulders.

"We take out the easier target, then deal with whatever that is, divide and conquer let's start with the princess it's time we pay her back"

Kaiser Smirks standing up his shadows coming alive his eyes turn red and his horns finally reveal themselves as they grow , Deakon lets his draconic features show his Hands turning into scales claws and his head growing a bone crown, his horns growing towards the back of his head more.

Andromeda and The monster walk side by side as they prepare to kill Deakon and Kaiser.

"Let's do this"

Kaiser and Deakon Aura blast out as they rush the huge monster knocking it away, trying to defeat Andromeda and deal with it later.

Andromeda begins to dodge any attack she can as she gets hit relentlessly, flames and shadows working in tandem.

Kaiser grabs his sword from nothing and cuts her across the stomach sending her reeling only for Deakon to axe kick her from above.

"Come on we need to keep it up"

They rush in again only for the Monster to teleport between them and block their attacks.

Andromeda scoots away as she tries to run off from them.

Kaiser jumps back, grabbing Deakon and pulling him back too, his arm burned by his flames.

"What the hell is this thing-

Before he could finish it jumped and planted Kaiser into the ground head first and kicked Deakon away.

"ha-a-a-h we are perfect"

It rasped out of its mouth Kaiser's red eyes glowing between its hands.

Deakon kicks it off of Kaiser, sending it crashing into the ground, but quickly it sits up, its bones cracking back into its place as its teeth crack into place.

Deakon charges forward, and the Monster simply stands still, completely motionless. Then, it suddenly springs to life and starts trading blows with Deakon. Their heavy fists land powerful hits. Deakon uses his scaled hands to crack the Monster's teeth, but the Monster quickly counters with a hard uppercut, sending Deakon flying upward.

Kaiser Now standing over Andromeda, his shadow sword at her throat, he swings his arm back, but sensing the wind shift he ducks as the Monster had swung its bladed arm in an attempt to decapitate him.

Deakon now grabs the monster from behind suplexing it, cracking the ground, only for it to then twist its body and suplex him in response.

Kaiser flies into the air A black sphere between his hands, As it gets smaller he pours more power into it packing as much as he could.

"Deakon move now!"

Deakon still wrestling with it kicks it away and flies Into the air quickly to avoid the bomb.

Kaiser then expands his hands, the shadow bomb growing as he does and launches it towards the monster.

The monster in question just stands there, not moving, as the bomb comes towards it. Its head opens up as it roars before the bomb engulfs it and the black shadows swirling around explode.

The shadows cover the area as Kaiser and Deakon look at the bombs' destruction of the area in the air, their hair flowing from the shockwave.

"Let's hope that kills it, yeah?"

Deakon nods in agreement as they both watch the dust settle only to see the silhouette of the monster still standing there, unmoving.

"Are you fucking kidding me" Kaiser yells out his face scrunched in annoyance.

Deakon drops to the ground landing softly to check, sliding down the crater face to face with it only to discover that it's dead, its body only still standing due to pure arrogance.

Deakon waves down Kaiser to join him, Kaiser leans back allowing himself to freefall into a black shadow behind him only for him to rise out of a black shadow in the crater.

Deakon, still looking over the creatures body notices the stitches on its neck and chest.

"what the hell, was this a person before….."

Kaiser walks up to it and pushes it only for it to not move an inch.

"It's incredibly heavy. How did you lift this thing?"

Deakon flexes his arms, a faint outline of scales showing underneath.

Deakon smiles"that's how us dragons operate unrivaled strength and elegance".

Kaiser rolled his eyes before he turned around remembering they have one more thing to take care of.

Climbing through the crater they see Andromeda crawling leaving a trail of blood as half of her left leg is gone.

Kaiser and Deakon are slowly walking towards her as she frantically tries to crawl away from them.

Kaiser Steps through a shadow and appears in front of her stepping on her hand.

"Seems you'll be the one exterminated"

Kaiser grabs her by the hair lifting her up. To his face.

"Now you Die".

Kaiser manifests his Shadow sword, he looks her in the eyes and swings intending to cut her head clean off her shoulders, only for the blade to get stopped by a pale white hand.

"I think that's enough for now, yes?"

Kaiser sees Ukzoc, the man he was tasked with killing, staring right at him, his hand holding Kaiser's sword firmly.

Kaiser's eyes narrow as the purple haired man just smirks at him. His long hair floating behind him.

"Let's have a talk shall we"
