The Final battle pt2
“Let’s begin.” The group prepare themselves as I approach them. The hero was still hanging behind the other three.
“Well if you’re not in the mood to fight me, I guess your friend will keep me entertain.” I’m not sure what the hero is planning but I’ll go along with it and ignore him for now. But it be boring if take them out to fast.
“To give you guys a fighting chance I’ll limit myself. I won’t use magic at all. Sounds fair to you?
“Fine by me but don’t cry if we kick your ass.” The amour man said as he steps up to face me.
“I guess you’re up first.” Charging at the armor man I throw a simple left, straight at his face, putting his shield up he stops the punch. The archer started firing arrows at me. Ignoring the arrows hitting me I throw a right at the armor man, he quickly move his shield to stop the attack, but the force of the punch push him backwards. “Not bad.” I threw another simple right at him this time I added some strength behind it. He put his shield back up to block my fist. As my fist collide with the shield, it cracks then it breaks into pieces.
“That’s too bad.” the man was holding up pretty well but it look like is equipment couldn’t handle it. Preparing to finish him off I threw another punch at the now defenseless man, but before it made contact, the man surrounded himself in a green aura to stopping my attack.
“That pitiful magic won’t stop me.” Putting even more strength into my fist I easily break through his aura. My fist then connects with his face sending him flying to a nearby wall.
“That’s one down.” Still firing arrows at me, the archer lands an arrow straight in my head “You’re really annoying me.” Pulling the arrow out I throw it back at him. It goes straight through his heart. The archer body slumps forward and falls onto the ground. The faces on the knights grew pale as I effortless took out two of their champions.
I turn my gaze towards the elf. “Your next.”
“No, it’s my turn now.” The hero steps up to face me. He unsheathe a broadsword from his back. The tilt of the sword was gold, and the blade was pure white as if it was never use in combat before.
Excalibur, just looking at it greatly angers me. But I can’t let my guard down Excalibur is the only weapon that can kill me. The hero charge at me wildly swinging his sword at me. I easily dodge all his slashes and throw a punch into his guts sending him flying. “C’mon get serious.” Getting back up the hero charge at me again swinging his sword, and which I easily dodge all the attacks.
Why isn’t he using any magic? As I kept dodging his attacks that thought floated into my mind. I landed another punch into his gut sending him flying again. Getting back up from the floor he recklessly charge at me again.
“Wait a minute, don’t tell me, you don’t know how to use magic?” That’s the only explanation for why he isn’t using any magic. He not even using Excalibur right he just swinging it like a mad man.
“I don’t need magic to defeat you!” I’ll take that as a yes, He’s already out breath from all those wild swings.
“Is that so?” I jump back a few feet, to get some distance from the hero and the others. “If you won’t take me seriously then I guess I’ll just destroy you all right now.” Lifting my right hand I concentrate my mana into it creating a black ball.
“What are you doing?” The hero had a slight panic expression on his face.
“Just watch and see.” Gathering as much mana as possible into the palm of my hand I tightly squeeze it trying to put as much pressure as I possibly can in it. I held it tightly as it shake violently in my hand so it wouldn’t go out of control.
The Elf expression darken as the ball in my hand develop. I guess she realize that this isn’t ordinary magic attack that goes “boom”. I made this to specifically deal with the hero. “Everybody! We need to run now!” The elf shouted as she grabs the hero hand and ran down hallway. The other Knights caught on and follow too.
“It doesn’t matter how far you run. None of you will survive this.”
As the darkness slowly faded, moonlight pour into the darken area as if it was washing away the darkness that engulf the land. The darkness shallow everything even the castle, and the forest surrounding it. The land was now completely barren with no life in sight.
“Well, I out did myself.” Looking around I admire the now desolate landscape. The attack still has problem that needs fixing, but it did its job, I’m finally free of that pain-in-the ass hero! Now that he gone this world is mine! A wide grin stretch across my face. ”Finally! I finally won!”
“No, not yet!” Dragging himself from out the dirt the hero struggles to stand up, but his right leg was missing, causing him to fall down. Blood continue to spill from his missing leg. “You monster! I’m going to kill you!”
“…” I was speechless, how did he survive that attack. Of course, it’s because he’s a hero. Those who inherit Excalibur has a history of good luck and surviving impossible scenario. And it seems he no exception.
“Go ahead try.” Creating a black fireball in my hand I aim it at the weaken hero. “This is the part where you make a miraculous comeback and defeat me.” Trying to move his beaten body out of the way the hero falls back on the ground. “Looks like I finally won.” But before I could the fire ball an ice shard impale my hand causing me to drop the fireball.
Who the hell shot that at me? No one could survive that attack beside the hero and is ungodly luck. I turn to face the person who hit me who the ice shard, and it was elf girl who was somehow unscathed.
“Alice, run! Get out here!” The hero said desperately shouted warn the elf girl.
“That’s not happening! I not leaving you to this fight this monster by yourself.” Raising her hand she conjure a swarm of ice above of her.
“Do you think that will stop me?” Dropping her hands the elf sent the hail of ice shards
Pinning me down with ice she kept creating ice shards hoping to do as much damage as possible. She kept creating more until she ran out of mana, and the entire area was cover in ice

“You done?” All my wounds instantly heals as I got up. The elf stood there dumbfound as all the damage she inflicted on me faded away. “You know that was a dumb idea, you should’ve listen to the hero an escape.” Unable to move the elf the watch helplessly as I grab her by the neck. “I’m pretty sure you knew that wouldn’t work on me, so why did you do it?” Unable to answer the elf gasp for air. “Never mind I know why you did it, you’re in love with the hero right? So you sacrifice yourself just to give the hero a few extra seconds to live? How stupid.” I Increase my grip on her to quickly strangle her to death.
*Schink* feeling something impale me I look down at my chest to see Excalibur. What the hell, their no way he able to move after that attack. I look back to see that the hero was still in the same position on the ground, with his right hand and a thrown position. “You threw it?” I honestly never expect him to throw his only weapon away.
Losing my strength I drop the girl and collapse on the ground. The elf quickly ran to the hero side to treat his wound, But the hero stop her.
“We don’t have much time. Take me to him.” Tears start to form in the elf eyes.
“You don’t have to do this, let’s just kill him get out of here.” his face became paler as more blood continue to drip from his missing leg.
“No, if I just kill him he’ll come back and torture the next generation. I’m going break this endless cycle now.”
Hearing this kid speech I let out a weak laugh before I started coughing. “You barely manage to defeat me, do you really think you can stop me from returning?”
“Yes I can, and I will.” Unable to stand because of his missing leg, the hero kneel beside me while grasping Excalibur that still stuck in my chest. Still in tears the elf also knelt right by me.
“Alice you need to leave.”
“No! If you plan on dying here than I’ll die here with you!”
“Alice I understand how you feel, but please do this one last favor for me. One of us have to go back tell everyone what happen here. They have to know that we all sacrifice our life to stop this monster for good. Can you do that for me?” The elf slowly shook her up and down answering the hero. Getting she took one last look at him and ran away.
“Thank you.” A weak smile appear on his face.
“What the hell are you planning?” Turning back to me the smile on his face quickly faded away.
“I plan erasing your existence.” His voice became cold and distance.
“That’s impossible kid.”
“No it’s possible.” A white light radiated around Excalibur. “You see I’ve been study you.” Slowly a sinister smile appear on his face as the light around Excalibur grew brighter. “I know that like the other entities your body is completely made of magic, hence why you’re immune to all attacks. I also know that all your magic comes directly from your soul. That’s why you’re immortal, even if we destroy your body, your soul will just recreate it. Isn’t that right! His voice got more excited as he continue to talk.
“Yea so what you are getting at?! I grew annoyed listening to this man rambling.
“What I’m trying to say is that without magic you wouldn’t existence at all. So I created a spell that can erase magic!” The smile on his faded away. As he kept talking. “It’s unfortunate this spell takes away my magic too and I’ll be left to die with to.”
“Is that why you didn’t use magic during our fight? For this bullshit theory?”
“Yes, I’ll do anything I can to permanently destroy you, even sacrifice myself. The light from Excalibur beam into the sky growing in intensity. Our bodies started to dissipated in the light
Strangely there was no pain, my body just felt like it was becoming number. Even my mind felt like it was fading away, as if the light was trying eat my existence completely. The fear of being annihilated, I gather my thoughts together hoping to talk the Hero out of this.
“L-Listen there no point in killing yourself, why don’t we just settle this the normal way! You defeat me and you go back marry princess or something!” Not budging the Hero continue to channel more light into the area. “Al- Alright! How about this, If you stop I promise I won’t lay my hand on another human again I promise!”
“It was worth it.” Looking down at me a smile appear on his face.
“What are you talking about?
“This whole time you had cocky grin on you as if you were untouchable. Getting to see you panic like this, it was worth it. Now you how it feels to experience death permanently. The smile widen as the light engulf us.

“And so the hero sacrifice himself so that the Demon King could never be resurrected.” Closing the book the man look down at the crib to see his daughter has already fallen asleep. Seeing his daughter sleeping so peacefully the man was tempted to pet her head, but stops himself, afraid that he might wake her up.
“She finally asleep?” standing at the door was a woman with violet red hair, and emerald green eyes. Dark rings was under her eyes from lack of sleep.
“Yea, shouldn’t you be asleep too?”
“I was just checking on you two.”
Getting up from his chair that was near the crib the man walks towards the woman. “Don’t worry I can take care of her. I even manage to put her to sleep.”
“I see.” The couple stood at the doorway of the room admiring their sleepy daughter face. “Isn’t she just adorable?”
“Yea.” The man let out a loud yawn. “But seriously, let’s get some sleep.”
Blowing out the candle in the room, the couple left to let their daughter sleep. As the night went on and everyone slept peacefully, a black mist invaded the village. It wander aimlessly ending up at a house on the outskirts of town. Slipping underneath the door it made its way into the house the mist floated around until it ended up in the baby room. Creeping up on the crib the mist grab the baby leg. Feeling something crawling on her the baby woke up to see a black mist hover above her. Before it could cry for help the mist wrap itself around the baby mouth stopping it from making any noises. Unable to do anything, the baby watch as the black entity coil around her until the only thing she could see was darkness.
