Hope Like an Angel
Two Enemies
"Commander Kiara lost!"
Everyone screamed in disbelief, I covered my mouth with my hands.
Azriel won? In a duel against Commander Kiara?!
He smiled, breathing high. "You know? The rate-up ceremony was not for the public, it could only be witnessed by the commanders and Great Generals. Well, here's the bad news. Five minutes of fighting, remaining thirty seconds, Commander Kiara sat on the ground of the arena. Just slashing his neck, he'll die. The rule is to survive, then the new rank is yours. If the opposing commander loses, then you will be the rightful commander in his place. Don't forget we can't use force.
"At that moment, I approached him. The tired tall woman limp down, bowing her head. The commanders and Generals see me proud, they will get a more worthy commander.
"'You are very weak. Women are not supposed to be the chairman, Kiara.' I said with cynicism. A few more steps I could knock him unconscious. After that, I, Azriel, will become the new, youngest and best Commander of the Southern Army in all of Yuvia.
'"Azriel, right? Your name?' Commander Kiara asked, complaining a little.
"I nodded, putting the sword of light back. I'll hit him soon.
"'Sister of Judah, yes.. heheheheh' Suddenly he chuckles, your commander laughs indistinctly!
"But I felt a strange sensation from him. His eyes reminded me of a certain event. Commander Kiara's eyes make me miss someone, not knowing who...
"'Your father, he's a son of a bitch, right? Your house exploded because your sister couldn't accept being said to be weak. Then, you two bounced out with the house on fire. Your father also died of monsters, you failed to save two things, your house and your father. You're a weak man, Azriel. All your pride is fake, everything is cryptic.' Hearing that sentence earlier, my body all shook, shaking. Time showed ten more seconds.
"I can't move, really. The moment was very scary and shocking even though my behavior was not surprised at all at that time. "I'm weak? I failed?" That filled my brain.
"But the jerk, it's just a trick. Commander Kiara nimbly stood up, slamming my body quickly. He was playing around with my brain to gain momentum. My movements are locked by him.
"Sadly he doesn't know, I'm not weak. Sreth! I moved more agilely, slamming his stomach hard into the ground until it cracked. Commander Kiara exclaimed in pain.
"TITLE! Time's up. Damnit damnit! Since the result is a series, I'll get my new rank. But I'm aiming for a position as commander. He cheated, Commander Kiara cheated by bringing my past. Look, the position now is I managed to slam him, but lost to time. From that moment on, guess both of you knew that I was stronger than anyone in the base. I, Azriel, am a god under the guise of man in battle. I'm not invincible."
Azriel's story made the yacht quiet, silent. Everyone looked shocked and scared. Commander Kiara was completely defeated against a teenager.
The tall woman held the sword of light, still lowering her head. "I have my own thing, Azriel. I will never lower my rank to that of an ordinary warrior before my goal is delivered. I have to fulfill it. Eight years I've been guarding four islands, all of which have not led me to what I want to achieve. But in this mission, everything will be completed, only after that you can ask for a re-duel. I promise."
Azriel looked at him in disbelief. "Really ...?"
Commander nodded.
...
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Heavy and noisy screams fell on the ocean. I closed my ears while looking back.
"What's that?!" Yudah asked.
"Commander! We're closing in on Island Two-" BRAK!!! The soldier who was about to report was attacked by a giant hand, destroying it and part of the ship.
Just a matter of time, the stern was also destroyed in the hands of a black giant. The whole ship shook violently.
I looked at the end of the ship. Island Two is only thirty steps away from us. Something quietly pulled the ship when our attention was distracted earlier!
BRUK!!! All the troops were shocked, I avoided the attack. This time half the ship was already damaged, many soldiers had already sunk, swimming.
Buk up! Yuda pushed me suddenly.
BRAK!!! Giant hands hit the deck again, Yuda hit by his attack. Body fell.
BYUR! The noise on the ship shrank. My whole uniform and my body were wet, I was in the ocean.
"JUST!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!!!" I swam up, busy maintaining balance. My friend who was at the side suddenly disappeared!
Dozens of soldiers also descended towards the bottom of the ocean. I don't pay attention to it, where is Yuda?!
BRUK!!! BRUK!!! BRUK!!! The sound of a blow on the ship was coming back. Well, the ice yacht was already smashed to pieces by a mysterious creature from under the sea.
"YUDAAAAAAA!!!" My screams beat anything.
"GET OFF ME!!!" I don't accept. Commander Kiara did it.
"No, Falisha! This creature knows no mercy!"
"GET OFF!!!" BOOM!!! A giant hand almost hit my body, the Commander has great speed.
"Commander Kiara! Come fast!" One of the soldiers who had arrived at Pulau Dua shouted. Others are also supportive.
"YUDAAAAA!!!" Jeez ... jeez! Where is she?! He sacrificed himself for me?! Yudah?! JUDAH!!!
...***...
Ten minutes have passed.
The troops all survived, landing on Island Two in a wet and tired state.
This island ... is dark in color, filled with giant trees taper upwards. A large fog blocks a quarter of the eye's sight.
I was still yelling towards the sea, seen by everyone. I called out to my best friend who was invisible, shouting until it was endlessly husky.
"YOU WHEREAAA?!-" BUK! My body was suddenly slammed down by someone.
"WHISPER!" Azriel, cry out to my left ear.
"H... huh...?"
"HEY ******! SHUT YOUR MOUTH! JUDA IS DEAD!" He screamed again. I looked at him in disbelief ...
"A... WHAT MEAN?!" Bam! I raised a bright transparent shield in white, throwing it away. Some people were surprised to see it.
The two of us stood up slowly, Azriel looked at me in shock as she rubbed the sand on her lips.
"She ... she is your sister ...! YOUR SISTER! JUDAH IS YOUR FAMILY! DON'T YOU FEEL ANY PITY, HUH?! YOUR SISTER DROWNED IN THE SEA!!!" I advanced while brandishing the sword of light. My sword is shining bright white. A circular shield protects my entire body.
Azriel just stared at me.
"ANSWER!!!" WOOSH! I did not control it, my own shields pointed towards Azriel.
...
"How's...? How can*******like you get that power?" Face folded.
"Well?!" I'm astonished. What the hell is he talking about?!
"In my years of being an army, being the god of everyone in the base, my sword force never rose. How do you activate it...? A weak and lowly child like you, how?!" He asked loudly, slowly approaching me quickly.
He hasn't activated his power yet? People like him!
BUKS! I was pushed rough, my shield disappeared.
"How's it?!" Azriel lifted my body, then dropped it again. My head is so fast.
"Enough, Azriel!" Commander Kiara approached from behind.
"My jaw! How's it?!"
My feet are shaking. To be honest, I'm afraid of him, very scared. But hearing he has no power, it means that I can defeat him at any time.
"AWAS!" One of the troops shouted, followed by all of them. From there came the sound of smashing and thumping.
I turned my body around, my God ...
Island Two, this island, was filled with hundreds of huge monsters with six hands. They stare at us in anger, and start attacking everything they can see.
