petty demon

part 25's

The sound of the waves hitting the cliff sounded so loud. Alexis held the sword in her hand. His red iris stared at the opponent before him.

Aslyn was only silent in her thoughts at the guilt of Alexis and was also frightened if Alexis hated her. "Taa... Can't we talk about it?" Aslyn tried to mediate them.

Alexis smiled at Aslyn. While Rhodri looked at Aslyn not understanding. "Aslyn, stop talking nonsense!!"

"Robbins... To.. Why did you change, you fought for good. You said you'd help everyone in need, why would it be like this?" aslyn's voice sounded trembling.

"Why should I do that again, no one will remember my kindness. Anyways... " Rhodri looked straight at Alexis. "It's not fair that I'm the only one who suffers."

"If you guys want a date, can I go now. You're wasting my time." Alexis stared at Rhodri flatly.

"Go? It won't be that easy." Rhodri looked at Alexis full of emotion and darted towards his opponent.

Rhodri raised his sword high, he jumped into the air, Alexis immediately fended off Rhodri's attack. To the two heavily clashing weapons, Rhodri again landed smoothly and darted back towards Alexis swinging his longsword towards his opponent.

Alexis blocks Rhodri's sword and pushes him away. He countered Rhodri's attack by swinging his sword to avenge his opponent's attack. The sound of the clang of the weapon alternated in the accompaniment of the sound of the waves. With an anxious face Aslyn watched their fight. In his head he kept thinking about how to break them, but they were both equally superior in speed and their strength was incredible.

Attack after attack Rhodri did without pause. Makes Alexis start to struggle to find a gap to back attack and continue to defend. Until a Rhodri attack hits him, Alexis's right arm. Fresh blood poured down Alexis' torn sleeves.

"You better give up!" Rhodri smiled triumphantly.

"Only in your dreams." Alexis went back to Rhodri.

But the wound on his arm made him unable to move easily. The pain made his movements slow down a little. Rhodri again swung his sword with all his might, swiftly Alexis resisted his attack with a sword in his hand. But, the pain in his arm made the grip on his sword slip out of his hand.

Alexis touched the wound on his arm, blood continued to pour out endlessly. Alexis was a little surprised.

"Your wounds can't heal?" Rhodri looked at Alexis with a terrible grin.

"Little injuries like this won't bother me." Alexis looked at Rhodri calmly. "I can even fight you with my bare hands." Alexis' red irises glowed reddishly.

"Alright, let's make it more fair." The sword in Rhodri's hand disappeared.

A dark aura appeared around Rhodri's body, making Alexis look at Rhodri with a condescending look.

"Just be!" Alexis murmured coldly.

"Based on cocky!!" Rhodri darted towards Alexis, raising his fists that Alexis had managed to avoid.

Alexis grabbed Rhodri's arm that passed beside his head, clamped his opponent's stocky arm and turned to point his elbow at Rhodri's face. Alexis' elbow right about Rhodri's nose made him stagger back.

Rhodri touched her bleeding nose and darted towards Alexis. Rhodri's hand touched Alexis' neck, clutching her firmly. Rhodri's lips began to squawk, strange incantations began to heap. Iris Rhodri instantly lit up into the ashes.

THE STORY IS CONNECTED BELOW

Alexis grabbed Rhodri's arm and grabbed his opponent's arm firmly. Little by little Alexis' power begins to be sucked in by Rhodri. Makes Alexis weaker. Until Alexis stopped the fight. His eyes began to shut and his hands fell limp.

Rhodri smiled and released her grip on Alexis' neck. But, how shocked Rhodri was when Alexis was still standing firmly before him. The red iris turned blue.

"You can only absorb the power of demons, not humans." Not wasting a chance Alexis kicked Rhodri's stomach making him stagger back.

"Your human strength won't help much." Rhodri quickly moved.

Striking Alexis' body attacks Alexis with incredible speed so that Alexis' human eyes can't keep up. Each blow was unavoidable to Alexis, until the final strike of a kick in his stomach sent the young man bouncing away.

Fresh blood flowed from between Alexis' weakly lying lips. His body is full of bruises.

"Wasting time? You're wasting my time." Rhodri walked over to Alexis' body.

His gray iris stared straight at the bag tied around Alexis' waist. Rhodri easily pulled the pouch from Alexis' waist and opened the contents. A pitch-black apple, Rhodri smiled happily.

"Kc.. How sad... " Rhodri murmured while glancing at Alexis.

Aslyn ran quickly over to Alexis, she looked so anxious and worried but as she passed Rhodri her arm was held back by the man. "Don't try to betray me.. " Rhodri glanced at Alexis. "His life is in my hands, and so are you." Rhodri stepped out of Aslyn. "You get ready, bring our little prince. There is another task for him!!" Rhodri Order.

Crepp....

Blood poured down the ground below, clear water dripping from Alexis' eyes. She stared at the person beside her, Aslyn tried to hold back her tears from falling.

"That's... For my father... " Murm with a begetar voice.

A dagger covered in blood fell from Aslyn's hand, his hand shaking somehow what he had just done. Alexis smiled before she collapsed to the ground. Rhodri turned to look at Aslyn in surprise. He quickly approached the girl.

"What are you doing? You're going crazy? He can't die... " She screams Rhodri in panic. "You guys, take him!! We can't lose him." Rhodri orders are fast.

"I'm avenging my revenge." Murmuring Aslyn with a quivering voice, the girl stared at Rhodri with tears that began to fall. "I'm avenging my revenge, isn't that what you want."

"But he's not our goal. But, Devian!" Shouted Rhodri frustrated.

"What difference? You are the same... "

"Listen, stupid girl!! My goal is bigger, so keep quiet and do as I say." Rhodri looked at Aslyn full of emotion.

"Are you willing to die for me?" Aslyn lowered her head to hide her every disappointment.

"Are you crazy? You were supposed to die for me. Better do your job properly after this!!" Rhodri warns Aslyn before stepping away from the girl.

******

Torn and his men had just arrived, from a distance he saw Rhodri's men raising Alexis' limp full of wounds on the horse.

"Your Majesty!!" A soldier was about to chase after Alexis but Torn's arm was blocking them.

"Don't be rash, we should report this as to what His Majesty Devian is. You go back and report this incident to His Majesty Devian. Me and some of you will follow them, we must keep our distance from them. Imagine your demons and lest they know where we are." Torn gave the order.

Some of the soldiers immediately disappeared and some with Torn followed Rhodri's men.

In a dark room, one still closed his eyes. Black hair, he seemed to be enjoying his rest. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide, revealing golden irises.

"Prince!!!" Howen immediately got up from his sleep.

After how long he disappeared and moved in the dimly lit room where Devian was standing in front of his wife's glass chest.

Devian turned to look at Howen who appeared alone. "What is..." Unfinished Devian asked his irises round his eyes staring at Howen who looked down full of guilt.

"He's... Where's the kid?" Devian quickly approached Howen and grabbed the collar of his son's guard.

"Sorry, Your Majesty! The prince ordered me to return." Howen seemed so regretful of his decision to comply with Alexis. "I cannot feel back the existence of Prince Alexis."

Devian turned quickly to look towards his wife. Slowly half of Alice's body began to sink into the water. Devian approached the glass case. "What's going on??" Devian looked at his wife in panic. Alice's face grew pale, her hands on her chest slowly descending into the water.

An old man with a white beard appeared hurriedly walking over to the glass coffin. "The water from the lake began to lose its power, regardless of what happened at its source. If the apple is not given to the Queen immediately, she will.... "

A few people appeared behind Howen, bowing respectfully at Devian. "Honor to His Majesty Devian!" Greet them to Devian.

"Where's Torn? What's going on?" Devian looked at the soldier before him.

"Nor Your Majesty, we arrived late. Soldiers from the enemy had managed to bring the prince and steal the demon apple from the prince." Report them.

Devian stared at them in disbelief, Howen quickly turned around and stared ferociously at them. "Say, where did they take Prince Alexis?"

"Mr Torn, is following them... "

Howen was about to step away when Devian stopped him. "I'll go too!! I need that apple soon anyway."

Howen nodded in agreement.
