He teleported once more, this time appearing directly above them, but on this occasion Binomas was already prepared.
It seemed he had predicted where Shoton would attack and shot out a force of energy towards that same direction.
A surprised Shoton deflected with his staff strike that was aimed at them, and mitigated some of the strikes force, but he still took quite a bit of damage.
Immediately the Big Mouth Clan head and Big Nose Clan head pounced upon him; he only managed to hold them off with his surprisingly superior Martial Skills.
“I didn’t know you were so skilled in Martial Arts Shoton, i'm genuinely impressed, you might’ve actually been able to pull it off in the end, to bad you weren’t precise enough, now it's over.”
Binomas picked up his giant Axe he had dropped before, and appeared right behind Shoton with his amazing speed.
Moments before he struck Shoton flashed a bright yellow, but there was little he could do to stop the attack.
Shoton shot off at massive speed yet through another unthinkable act of defiance against defeat, managed to stop himself mid air preventing himself from being too vulnerable to a follow up attack.
Even so Shoton looked like a wreck, his clothes were ripped his beard disheveled and dirty, he was bruised, bleeding and battered all over the place.
It was obvious he was struggling with internal injuries after that strike as well.
“I must say even though I Hate you and your Clan until the end of time for what you did to my son, my appreciation and respect for your combat prowess has increased many fold during the course of this battle. Had the universe not tied my future as the heir to the Titan Bloodline, even with my fellow Clan brothers I don't think I would have stood a chance. Because of the enjoyment i've had in this fight and my respect and appreciation for talent i'll grant you a quick death hahahaha!”
“Swallow your false arrogant words Binomas, I only fight as a Ranker should. But by declaring victory before actually defeating me you've only shown the difference of someone who's a whole rank lower no matter how many power ups you get. Today I’ll show you why you should never disrespect those Rankers who are above you, or else pay the price!”
Shoton in a flash of light teleported once again, this time appearing next to some of the survivors of the wreckage from his clan who by now had removed themselves from the battlefield as best they could.
He approached the tallest individual amongst the group, who was probably the highest Ranked Clan member besides himself.
An Alert Binomas suddenly screamed.
“What now Shoton, after all your crying about ending things with Honor and Courage, don’t tell me you’re going to run away, pathetic!”
Shoton paid him no mind and handed his servant his staff, the summoning orb and a vile of red liquid.
A Binomas who was getting ready to chase Shoton down suddenly paused, perplexed at what Shoton was trying to do.
“Alaron, I entrust to you the care of Shoras and the relaying of the events that have happened here. To all the rest of my beloved Family members I can only urge you that once the chance arises to flee and do your best to survive, be certain the Sparking Light Clan will rise again.”
“Clan Head!”
Screams of hope and fear came out of the Sparking Light Clan members.
They were afraid their Clan Head was about to give up and thereby seal their fates to death.
Shoton gave a knowing look to Alaron and he nodded in assurance.
“I understand fear not for the Young Master's safety as long as i'm around not even the hordes of the Withering Empire themselves will be able to touch him.”
Shoton smiled.
“That is good. then I can be left assured, Sparking Light Clan fear not for this is not the end, keep your wits about you protect your brothers and sisters!”
“Yes Clan Master!”
After Alaron took the items Shoton handed him, he lay his hands on his forehead and after a bright flashing light disappeared Alaron from in front of him!
An angry Binomas suddenly screamed!
“You sneaky Rat, what have you done with my treasures! Don't think you can hide them from me that easily. I’ll search the ends of the earth destroying your clansman and pillaging your treasures and coffers and attain them all, even those you are now trying to keep from me. Titan Hand Clan members go hunt down that Sparking Clan servant he couldn’t have gone far!”
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
“Well your efforts will be in vain Binomas, I just used my most powerful Teleportation Spell on Alaron, your men will never find him, the Summoning Orb or the Electric Annihilation Staff. I hope you know, I could’ve escaped this battlefield at any time I wished, but I know the troubles for my Clan would only persist. Today I will end this war once and for all!”
Shoton rose up into the Air and started chanting at breathtaking speed.
The energy around him became chaotic and his brightness became greater and greater.
“Shoton whatever you're attempting it isn’t going to work! You’re measly magic power is no match against my Titan Power! Behold Mountain Titan Rend!”
Binomas pushed forward with both his hands and the marking in his forehead shined brightly.
Two massive ethereal hands suddenly pushed forward and struck the zone Shoton was in, quickly eradicating his bright energetic presence and creating a temporary void in the airspace he resided in.
After a terrible tempest and rebalancing of the atmosphere, since the void that was created soon collapsed in the aftermath of the attack, only specs of blue and yellow energy could be seen scattered around.
Binomas gloated in laughter.
“There goes the end of the Sparking Light Clan, by the Hand of the Heir to the Titan Bloodline. Sparking Light Clan give up your lives willingly and maybe I'll make your deaths less cruel.”
The remaining Sparking Clan members looked desperate on the opposite end of the battlefield.
It seemed like their fates were sealed.
Their leader was nowhere to be found and even Alaron, who was probably their second strongest member had disappeared.
Suddenly when all hope was lost the remaining sparks of energy started to move around erratically and after some time started to congregate in mass in the exact place where Shoton had last been.
Suddenly the shape of a human was created that looked like the shape of Shotons body, except it was filled with the Blue and Yellow Electric energy that was scattered throughout the battlefield.
Suddenly the energy being turned its face to the Sparking Light Clan members and spoke.
“RUN YOU FOOLS, LEST YOU LOSE YOUR LIVES!!!”
The voice of the being sounded just like Shoton.
The sparking light clan members screamed in sorrow.
“It's the Clan Head! He’s used the Clans forbidden technique!”
“Clan Head Why!”
“Did you hear him Run! This zone is going to get leveled in an instant!”
The Clan members didn’t stop crying, but while they did they started to flee in the opposite direction.
“Where do you guys think you're going, Clan members after them!”
The members of the other 3 rivaling Clans started to chase after the Sparking Light Clan members with blood lust apparent in their faces.
Suddenly the blue entity in the sky shouted again.
“It's over! Bear the consequences of underestimating Shoton! The exquisite AA Ranker!”
Suddenly the Energy like being split into three beams of energy that blasted in the direction of the Three Clan leaders.
Instantly the Fierce Nose Clan and Big Mouth Clan leaders instantly disintegrated without even having the chance to scream.
Binomas who had already activated his Titan Powers managed to resist.
But the energy didn’t dissipate away, with a final blinding flash, a terrifying screech was heard and to my dismay a powerful explosion that enveloped the whole mountainous area.
All the members of the Evolved Clans were enveloped in its energy instantly vaporizing them.
Soon I saw the force of the explosion rapidly advance towards my direction.
I instantly stopped viewing the battlefield through my Guider and made a mad dash towards the bottom of the hill.
My only hope was that the hill would hold out.
After I reached the bottom of the hill and found some cover behind some rocks, the already lit up night sky, got only brighter, and soon it looked like it was the middle of the day.
In a matter of seconds I felt the energy of the blast envelope my surroundings, and a terrifying noise of destruction overwhelmed my senses.
All I could do was wait for my impending doom.
Suddenly the noise stopped.
I looked up to the sky.
Never before in my life had I ever been so happy to see the darkness of the night.
Somehow, someway I had managed to survive the ultimate move of a mighty Ranker willing to destroy the land.
