Chapter 20: The Fall of Light 2
The demigod of light took his battle stance, his sharp light projection shimmered, casting radiant beams around him. With a deep breath, he focused on the semidevil leader, who stood poised with the deciphering sword, its all-seeing eye glinting ominously. Known for its all-seeing eye that could anticipate the moves of its enemies. It was part of a dynamic trio: the glove armor, the deciphering sword, and the headpiece, all forged during the first war between the semidevils and the demigods. The devils, unable to participate in the battle, gifted these powerful artifacts to the semidevils. However, the demigod of light had snatched the sword from a fallen warrior, claiming it for himself.
Over time, the headpiece and the deciphering sword were stolen, but the glove armor remained secured. The demigod of light gifted the glove to Malius, his first son, who later passed it on to Buck (Dalius) as a cherished gift.
The semidevil took his battle stance, he unleashed a powerful puff of his wings and lunged forward, striking with ferocity. The demigod met his attack head-on, blocking the blow with a swift movement. The clink of their weapons resonated through the air, creating a powerful wave that echoed throughout the battlefield.
As the clash intensified, the demigod's speed and strength became evident. He charged forward, his strikes powerful and precise, each blow aimed to overwhelm his opponent. However, the semidevil, with his agility, danced around the attacks, evading the powerful swings with a grace that belied the danger he faced.
With a swift motion, the semidevil summoned dark tendrils that shot forth from his hands, aiming to ensnare the demigod and pull him into the shadows. Yet, the demigod was quick, his reflexes honed from countless battles. He sliced through the tendrils with his sword before they could spread, severing the dark energy with each calculated strike.
Realizing he needed to change tactics, the semidevil began to weave in and out of the shadows, using his agility to create openings for his counterattacks. The battlefield became a dance of light and darkness, each combatant pushing the other to their limits as they fought for dominance.
As the semidevil continued to weave in and out of the shadows, he began to gain the upper hand. His agility allowed him to slip past the demigod's powerful strikes, and with each movement, he unleashed tendrils of darkness that caught the demigod off guard.
The dark tendrils wrapped around the demigod's limbs, slowing his movements just enough for the semidevil to strike with precision. He danced through the shadows, using the environment to his advantage, creating illusions that disoriented his opponent.
With each successful maneuver, the semidevil felt his confidence grow, knowing that he was not only matching the demigod's strength but also outsmarting him in this battle of wits and skill..
The demigod unleashed a powerful beam of light, scorching the dark tendrils that had ensnared him. The searing energy struck the semidevil, sending him crashing against the wall, his sword clattering to the ground. Dazed but not defeated, the semidevil struggled to regain his composure, his mind racing with thoughts of his next move.
Seizing the moment, the demigod moved swiftly behind the semidevil, sword raised, aiming for a decisive slash to decapitate him. But the semidevil merely smiled, knowing this was all part of his cunning plan. With a flick of his wrist, his sword flew back into his grasp, piercing the demigod's back just as the demigod's blade was about to connect.
The demigod stumbled forward, shock and pain etched on his face as he fell to the ground. In that instant, the semidevil seized the upper hand, ready to deliver a fatal blow. But in a desperate attempt to save his life, the demigod summoned his glove from Buck.
The glove burst through the window, a blur of movement, and latched onto the semidevil's neck, pinning him against the wall. The battle escalated to a whole new level as the demigod, in a desperate move, summoned the glove to his hand and wore it leaving the semi devil to fall to the ground and catch a breath. Before the demigod could fully heal himself, his hand was cleanly cut off, leaving him shocked and vulnerable. The glove, now free from its owner of a thousand years, glowed with a brilliant yellow light, going on a rampage, scorching the demigod's severed hand before rising into the air.
Quick to react, the semidevil seized the opportunity, grabbing the powerful glove and feeling its energy surge through him. With newfound strength, he lunged at the ailing demigod, who, in a last-ditch effort, blocked the punch with his remaining arm, the sword held in place without harming him.
With a swift strike from his left hand, the demigod sent the semidevil soaring into the skies. As the semidevil flew into the air, a transformation occurred – the darkness that shrouded the castle began to dissipate as sunlight crackled from the east. The other semidevils who had been holding down the three sisters fled the scene, leaving the sisters free to tend to their exhausted father, who was now without his right hand.
"Father, are you alright?" they said, rushing to him. "I'll be alright, find Buck and warn him, we are about to face a much greater evil!" he said, looking into the sky where the semidevil presumably was.
The tension in the air was thick as the semidevil regained his composure in the skies, halting mid-air. With a menacing glare, he conjured a massive fireball and launched it towards the castle on Mount Rushmore. However, a surprising turn of events unfolded as the Forcefield that Buck had broken regenerated, covering the entire mountain and blocking the fiery attack.
Witnessing this, the semidevil's determination intensified. He gazed at the mountain, and with a mighty flap of his wings, he dove straight into the ground, creating a small crater that sent debris flying up in the air all around the area. The shock was so massive that the ground around had a 3 second tremor that widened the crater which sealed up as soon as he disappeared into it.
