Chapter 34 - Only Anger Remains

King Acheron stood alone against Komodo, Invierno and Nevooa. The three of them were tired and due to King Acheron's strength they were being overwhelmed.

Invierno stood up and stared at King Acheron.

"Hey, aren't you suppose to be soldier level?" Invierno shouted in a raspy voice.

"Didn't your friend tell you, my sword has the powers to drain and take life energy."

"Still even if it does, how does that explain why your so strong? There's no life forms to take energy from!"

"The mountain is filled with life." King Acheron stated with his arms out staring into the celling.

"What does this guy mean?" Invierno thought to himself.

Then he started to connect the clues. The mountain there on is probably no ordinary mountain. No one person or group of awakeners has actually caused harm to even broken it.

"Is it that this mountain is actually filled with spirit energy by the amount of monsters that are in the pit that die?" Invierno thought, "Either way I'll find that you later, I have a fight in front of me."

WHOOSH! 

King Acheron and Komodo clashed there weapons together once again. But this time six tentacles came out of Komodo's back.

They assisted with Komodo's barrage of attacks. Poking, pushing and jabbing King Acheron.

Although it did barely any damage it was enough for King Acheron to be off guard due to the change of fighting style.

In the middle of their clash, three tentacles wrapped around Komodo's right arm. The other three wrapped around King Acheron's sword, holding it in place.

WHooSH!

Aiming for King Acheron's wrist Komodo swung as hard as he can...

A sudden agonizing cry was heard from Komodo as he fell to the ground. 

Komodo's three tentacles that were holding King Acheron's sword were ripped and cut off. The terrible pain that was surging in Komodo came from the tentacles being cut.

Komodo's tentacles are more like a flexible bone and is similar to the spine. So the horrific pain Komodo was feeling was as if his spine had been torn out from his back.

"Heh, your pathetic now. You're merely and imitation of what you used to be." King Acheron said while looking down on Komodo's terrible appearance. 

Komodo spat out blood.

Bam!

King Acheron kicked him up. And held his sword up high.

"I'll give you an easy death."

Bang!

Invierno crashed into King Acheron. King Acheron retaliated by swinging at him. But like a fly, Invierno moved extremely fast evading all of King Acheron's swings.

King Acheron could feel a slight bit of fear looking into Invierno's bright yellow eyes. Invierno's eyes had an upward tilt towards the corners. Like a hawk eyeing down there prey, Invierno stared directly in to King Acheron mysterious yellow eyes.

Around Invierno's body yellow aura grew as his life force surged. Each punch and kick he threw twisted the air with his yellow life force.

King Acheron started to adapt to Invierno's attacks and almost hit him a couple of times. Realizing this Invierno started to dance.

Invierno closed his eyes, could hear and feel the air being smushed, cut, and transformed.

In a stylistic way Invierno moved with the wind. 

King Acheron would almost slash Invierno but due to Invierno's flow state it wouldn't even scratch him.

Invierno twisted his arms, legs, and whole body in a dynamic way, flowing and transforming the air.

You could see the air being moved around as Invierno's yellow life force could be seen moving with it.

Overtime the yellow life energy practically encircled King Acheron.

Whoosh

Invierno gracefully stood on his hands with his legs in the air. 

King Acheron already swung missing Invierno during his stance change.

Due to inertia King Acheron couldn't immediately swing at Invierno again.

The yellow life energy in the air started to twist again, but this time it all came together in Invierno's foot.

All of the life energy of Invierno had combined into on point, Invierno's foot!

BANG!

With a violent twist Invierno kicked King Acheron in the head sending the helmet into pieces in the air.

With a slight bit of fear Invierno jumped back.

"Huh? I thought spirits were suppose to have faces?" Invierno blurted out.

With King Acheron's helmet broken you could see his spirit. His spirit was like a never ending fire, with two mysterious yellow eyes. 

"You want to know why I look like this!" King Acheron screamed. "I look like this because everyone has forgotten my face! I'm nothing but lost history! Even the person who had trapped me here has forgotten!"

"I don't think that's the reason why." Komodo stated while standing up.

"People forgetting your face is part of the reason why, but the main reason why you have no face is because you have no resolve. You an empty shell that has rotted and only thought about revenge.

Komodo spoke again, "You let anger get the best of you so you've forgotten, why you lived. The only thing you have left is the fire of anger and rage that was left within you before you died."

King Acheron was stumped and had shocked eyes.

He gripped his sword tighter, knowing this he still retaliated with anger. He let out a roar before stabbing Komodo's stomach.

In an instant most of his organs were split and cut. A mouthful of blood came out.

"Komodo!" Invierno came rushing at King Acheron.

Whoosh!

A large and deep slash formed from Invierno's left hip to his right shoulder.

Invierno let out a pitiful scream as he fell to the ground.

"You spirits are so ignorant." A cocky voice was heard coming into the room.

"Oh, and who are you?" King Acheron asked.

A lean righteous looking figure emerged. Bright blue eyes, clear white skin, and long wavy blonde hair. In a pure white suit coved with a white trench coat it was accessorized with gold buttons. This righteous man appeared. Compared to Nevooa, Komodo, and Invierno this man was very much well kept. 

He unsheathed his crusader sword and it had formed flames by just being taken out.

"Me? I am Gerecht!"
