Huron, flying high up in the sky, spread all four pairs of his wings, as they radiated intense, white light. Light continued to shoot out from his wings and killed every single Fiend that touched it. Tens, hundreds, thousands, Huron did not stop, until every Fiend he saw died.
He turned his head to the giant pit on the mountain and roused up even more of his Holy Power, and with a grunt, he released everything he had on the pit, and destroyed the meteor the Fiends came in with, killing every Fiend that was left inside as well.
Exhausted, Huron breathed in roughly while looking down and saw tens of the surviving Fiends running towards the nearby forest. Huron wanted to chase them all down but was too exhausted, so he looked towards Lucifer and slowly flew towards him. He then commanded,
"Tell your men to chase down all the survivors. They're all injured right now so your warriors should be able to take care of them even with their current state."
Huron then slowly descended to the ground and signaled Lucifer to follow him. His feet landed on the dirt, followed by Lucifer after. He then walked towards a nearby rock, and sat on it, gesturing with hands to tell Lucifer to do the same. Huron then told him,
"When your warriors are done, tell them to rest up and prepare for another battle. Once you're all rested, move North and assist Azrael, the one's he's facing are weaker but there's too many of them to handle by themselves."
Huron sighed and looked up to the sky and mumbled to himself,
"Damn it… I'm too tired…"
Besides saying so, Huron still slowly stood up and unfurled his wings. His face looked pale and was clearly exhausted, but still flapped his wings and ascended to the sky. He was about to leave, when Lucifer suddenly asked,
"Lord Huron… If I may ask… where is your brother, Terron?"
Huron, besides being extremely exhausted, still managed to raise the corner of his lips and chuckled as he answered,
"Terron...? He's currently fighting a very important battle right now…."
* * *
Terron swung his sword of ashen colored flames, while the Fiend strengthened its muscles and swung his sword as well, clashing with Terron. Tension rose from the both of them as their swords locked and glared at each other.
A slit was then formed above the Fiends chin and formed a mouth. Sharp, razor like teeth then grew, followed by blue tongue. A deep voice then sounded out,
"Greetings."
A bit startled, Terron's eyebrows rose and backed away from the Fiend. He flew to the sky and looked down at the Fiend with curious eyes. Terron said in return,
"Aye, greetings… Mr…?"
"Baal."
The Fiend, Baal, replied immediately. Amused, Terron dispelled his sword of flames and asked,
"So, Mr Baal… May I ask why you and your people decided to visit Earth on this horrid day?"
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Hearing Terron's question, Baal shut his mouth instead of replying and held up his sword, waiting for Terron to attack.
Terron, realizing there was no point in conversing with Baal, tore a hole in space, pushed his hand through it, and took out a silver longsword that had golden engravings, and was layered with Angelic runes.
Honestly, when Terron saw Baal for the first time, he didn't think he was all that different from the other Fiends he killed in the past, but when they clashed swords….
He knew, right there and then, that Baal was unlike anything he's ever faced before.
So with the sword he crafted using the tears of Angels, souls of the damned, and the flames of Purgatory, Terron stared at Baal with narrowed eyes.
Terron roused up his Holy Power and rushed towards Baal. He then held up his sword, aimed at Baal's chest, and thrusted.
Baal hurriedly moved his body to the side and narrowly dodged Terron's attack, but was forced to immediately move his sword, when he saw Terron's blade, aiming for his chest.
The sound of clanging metal was heard when the two blades made contact.
Lock in a stalemate, both of them glared at each as their swords interlocked. Baal, tired of seeing Terron's face, quickly spun his body around, breaking the stalemate, and raised his sword above his head. He immediately brought it down towards Terron, but was quickly parried, completely breaking the momentum of his swing.
Seeing Baal staggering, Terron hurriedly followed up by thrusting his sword towards Baal's heart. Baal managed to move his body a little, however, and was stabbed in the lower rib instead.
Terron's sword didn't manage to pierce all the way through, though, forcing him to ignite his sword in flames and pushed it in deeper. He had to quickly back off however, when he saw Baal's sword heading his way from the corner of his vision. Terron then flew into the sky, and analyzed Baal's current physical state.
Baal was injured, but only slightly. His chest suffered from high degree burns, but didn't seem to be bothered by it.
So Terron, coming to a decision, summoned his halo of daggers, and felt his strength and power increase by twofold. He then held out his palm and conjured a small ball of light above it, and whispered,
"Lunox. Lux. Luminous."
Immediately after, the ball of light expanded, blinding both him and Baal. The light then continued to expand and devoured everything in their surroundings, destroying everything it touched.
After a while, the light finally died down, and Terron was finally able to see. He swept his gaze at the land below, which was now completely flattened and scorched from the intense heat of the light. He then shifted his gaze to Baal, whose whole body was now red because of the burns he suffered, making Terron let out a small chuckle as he stared at Baal's hot and smoking body.
Terron then held out his arm towards Baal, and lifted him up with his telekinesis while Baal was still feeling weak. And without wasting a single second, Terron rushed at Baal once more, with the intent of piercing
Baal's chest with his sword.
But just as Terron's sword was about to reach him, Baal's arm suddenly moved and grabbed the blade of Terron's sword. Baal's palm bled as he gripped the cold and hard blade of Terron's sword, and with his free hand, he swung his sword towards Terron's arm, successfully wounding Terron.
Terron grunted, feeling intense pain for the first time in years. And acting quickly, he conjured flames on his chest, and made them burst out, blasting Baal away towards the ground.
"Tsk..!"
Terron clicked tongue as he looked at his bleeding arm. Blood, as white as milk, continued to pour out of the open wound, making Terron grit his teeth. He then conjured a ball of light with his unharmed hand and placed it on the injury, healing it and eventually closed the wound.
Now with a scowl on his face, Terron slowly made his way towards Baal's location, where he saw Baal, in the middle of a small crater, kneeling on the ground on one knee.
Terron observed him carefully, only to be alarmed when he noticed Baal healing from his injuries. Having no intention of letting Baal recover, Terron quickly dived towards him, with his sword, burning in ashen colored flames.
But just as he was about to reach Baal, however, Baal, still kneeling, suddenly grew two pairs of bat-like wings on his back. He then flapped his wings hard, and quickly ascended into the sky.
Terron, seeing this, stopped his dive and raised his head, looking directly at Baal's red, bestial eyes.
Both of them were breathing roughly, with their chest heaving with every breath they took. But even then, their eyes remained resolute, determined to making sure that one of them would die today.
And then, they charged at each other.
An Angel, with a silver longsword, and a Fiend, with a dark greatsword, charged towards each other in haste, producing a sonic boom when their swords clashed and interlocked.
Now in a contest of strength, Terron and Baal used every ounce of power they had to push the other into submission, as they glared at each other with rage filled eyes.
Terron's eyes then grew wide as he watched Baal's face morph and change its shape, until eventually, it matched Terron's own. Now facing someone that had the same face as him, Terron felt a sudden surge of disgust rise within him, making Terron combust his entire body into flames.
Baal, feeling the extreme heat of Terron's ashen colored flames, felt his entire body burn just by being near him, and quickly backed away. Terron didn't let him go, however, and proceeded to chase him.
Baal flew in the sky with Terron chasing directly behind him.
Clicking this tongue, Terron roused up even more of his Holy Power, increasing his flight speed, and was about to catch up to Baal, when Baal suddenly stopped and spun his body around as he swung his sword, hitting Terron directly in the chest.
Terron's body was blown away by the sudden attack, and crashed into the ground, creating a massive crater right under him when he made impact.
Terron coughed up blood and touched his chest, only to feel a deep and massive wound, bleeding out, making him curse,
"D*mn it…"
Terron, heavily injured and exhausted, sighed. Thinking he had no other choice, he sent a telepathic message to his brother, Huron.
'Brother, I need he—"
Terron couldn't finish his message, however, because of the massive, flaming Greatsword coming his way.
