After some time had pasted Komodo got up.
"Lets go."
Nevooa and Invierno stood up.
They started to walk closer to the mountain. After awhile they where a step away from it.
They followed Komodo as he walked around it for a bit.
They had finally stopped walking after Komodo found a large rock in the ground. Engraved on the rock was an upside down t.
Bam!
Komodo stepped on the rock crushing it. To the right a opening appeared in the ground. And beyond that a staircase.
"Just so you guys know, the we're only trying to take the sword away from the spirit." Komodo said.
"Will it fight back."
"Yes. It will."
"And also try not to break it's armor, the armor is meant to seal the spirit completely."
The walked down the stairs until they had finally reached a door.
Komodo's pupils shrunk.
"T-That... that spirit it's- it's low general level!" Komodo exclaimed.
"You're right!" Invierno said in a shocking tone.
Nevooa didn't say anything because it couldn't sense the pressure coming from the spirit.
"I think we could probably do though." Invierno said, "At our peak we're all high soldier level, so it's a three on one."
"Hopefully." Komodo replied.
Komodo pushed the door open.
They were greeted with a room the size of a football field. There were six pillars on both sides. The walls were made up of grey bricks that had a navy blue color due to the torches that immitted eerie blue light.
thump thump thump
A figure emerged from the emptiness. It was cladded with pitch black armor and a massive sword. Through the eye sockets you could see two bright yellow eyes and beyond that a faint purple color. It looked like a knight that was shrouded in darkness.
The eerie blue color once again formed on Komodo's left hand and had spread to Komodo's halberd.
Nevooa took out his sword and-
WHOOSH!
The knight came flying at Komodo.
BANG!
Their weapons collided, creating sparks everywhere. After a few breaths of time Komodo had pushed the knight back with great force.
Komodo took the initiative and ran towards the knight.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The clashing of their blades made shockwaves in the air.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
They were now clashing with each other at a greater speed. You could see the life force that was created from both sides flying. Komodo had an eerie blue life+spirit force while the knight had purple life force.
Eventually it got even faster that you couldn't even track their attacks.
"Such great power!" Nevooa exclaimed while running around them.
Invierno was doing the same, he was running around the two giant forces in a clash. He had his eyes locked onto the knight. Although the knight's movements where hard to see he was pretty much just standing in the same spot.
The knight gripped his blade with two hand swung upward. Komodo in an attempted to parry but was flung steps away.
"This is my chance!" Both Invierno and Nevooa thought.
They both ran from to directions heading towards the same opponent. Nevooa on the right and Invierno on the left.
BAM!
Both Nevooa's and Invierno's attacks were blocked. Nevooa's attack was blocked by the knights arm while Invierno's was blocked by his sword.
Nevooa swung again.
Whoosh!
The knight delivered a monstrous backhand sending Nevooa into the wall. A giant dent and many cracks were formed from that attack.
The knight attacked at Invierno, but he ducked down swept his legs. Throwing the knight off balance.
"RRRAAWWWWWWW"
Invierno gave a devastating smash to the knight plundering it into the ground.
BoomBoomBoomBoomBoom
Invierno let out a barrage of attacks on the knight.
Shing
The knight once again did an upward slash. Blood spewed from Invierno's left stomach and chest. Caught off guard Invierno tried to land another attack to throw him to the ground. But the knight rolled away and then side stepped towards Invierno.
Bam!
The knight threw a punch at Invierno sending him flying into the wall just like Nevooa.
Komodo came rushing back and left a devastating spirit energy slash to the knight's jaw.
Thump
The jaw piece flew off and fell to the ground.
The knight jumped back thirty steps.
"Finally, I can speak." the knight said in a deep emotionless tone that had a hint of filled up anger.
Komodo's eyes widened as he stared at the knight.
"You could speak?" Nevooa said getting himself off the wall.
"Of course I can speak, you wouldn't know the torturous methods this man used on me."
"Liar," Komodo said, "The armor limits you complete strength and contains your aura."
"Oh please, don't lie to the youth like that!" the knight said in a hateful tone.
The knight spoke again while looking at Nevooa, "Young man, fight with me and lets kill these deceptive demons."
Nevooa's heart jumped.
"This could be my chance to kill Komodo! But why am I hesitating now."
"Shut with that bull shit!" Komodo shouted, "You're just as bad as me!"
Komodo shouted again, "I knew who you were! You were a warlord who went against the Nozon Empire. You conquered lands that you had no reason to fight!"
"Damn you! Damn you and that girl! The world was wrong and I was trying to fix it. My people had inherited those lands and they belonged to us! But you 'awakeners' said that it wasn't!"
Komodo had gripped his halberd tighter. And the spirit and life energy around him grew. He knew he was both correct and wrong.
The knight's ancestors did leave that land for him. But the Nozon Empire took the land to setup more cities. They were going to leave the knight's land alone but he started to take over the neighboring cities and evade other territories. And once they had heard the knight had mystical powers they had sent out Komodo and Ganzhi to stop him, but they did more than what was told and had locked the knight down here for personal use.
"Kid! Join me King Acheron! And KILL THESE TWO MEN!" the knight shouted again.
Nevooa stood there with his sword up. With no movement being shown from Nevooa, Komodo rushed at King Acheron.
Komodo's halberd and King Acheron's massive sword clashed once again. They started to have the one on one stand off as before. But this time King Acheron swung harder and harder.
"Why doesn't his halberd break!" King Acheron thought to himself.
But still eventually Komodo was beginning to be more on the defensive. And soon enough Komodo was pushed back.
WHOOSH!
King Acheron was going to land a fatal blow.
Komodo's pupils shrunk.
A man that was carrying a flaming sword and had to large beetle wings on his back, just clashed blades with King Acheron.
Nevooa started to move fast enough to look like he was teleporting. Throwing hits and hits onto King Acheron.
Of course though, King Acheron parried most of his attacks. Although Nevooa was mainly focused on breaking King Acheron's wrist. This was due to Komodo saying that they only needed to take the sword away from him.
"Why, why, why," Nevooa said in his heart, "Why am I protecting a person that I hate."
'Do I actually care for him?!'
Nevooa began to move fast and the flame on the sword grew larger.
'I used to not care about him, until now when I think about killing him.'
"You damn rascal! Actually going against me!" King Acheron yelled.
BAM!
King Acheron threw a critical blow at Nevooa, but Nevooa barely blocked. The attack sent Nevooa crashing through a pillar and slamming against the wall.
Blood flowed from Nevooa's mouth as he was knocked out clean.
