Chapter 89 - chapter 89

Celestia POV just before Pharaxurath's battle with Talion.

I heard a sound from behind me, I turned around to see a white winged demons staring me down. "Your time is over, Princess."He said and launched himself at me, I couldn't react fast enough when his nails grew and impaled my shoulder, I cried out in pain and jumped backwards where I clutched my injury with a hand and held my sword with the other. "You are weak, can't even handle a little pain." He said with a grin on his dead face but when he tried to attack me dozens of Talions undeads swarmed him so I could recover. Unfortunately they were easily dispatched by the strong demon.

I looked away trying to find Talion but only saw another wave of demons pouring from the desert, the Draugr, I believe Talion called them, fought them head on using magic and weapons. The demons though were simply too many so they easily ran into the village, that's then I saw the zebra's warrior exit their bunkers and joining into the fight. I could have continued to watch but I had a battle myself to finish.

"So far you have fallen to rely on others to protect you Celestia, you are weak, worthless! But you are also a thorn in my Mistress side so it's time for you to die, today the Sun sets forever!." The demon said, he walked towards me after killing all the undead. I tried to raise my sword to fight but I was too weak, I lost too much blood. ' this is not the end.'

"What is that?" I quietly said as I looked up and the demon followed my eyes and looked to the sky as the light plummeted brightened and crashed into the ground lifting dust everywhere, the light was so powerful it blinded me. After a bit I could see again and witnessed the giant crater the light formed, in the center of it a sword rested. The blade seemed ancient, from the hilt a soothing light shined, the light traveled through the whole blade making it shine with pure energy, a series of runes also brightened with a red iron intensity.

I don't know why, but the sword called me. I was attracted to it like a moth to a flame and without even noticing it I grasped it firmly. The light engulfed me and healed my wound, attached to the hilt there was a letter, it as for Talion so I took it and hid it in my armor.

"What is your name demon." I said as he recovered from the light.

"A dead body usually doesn't need a name. But for you, I will make an exception I am Harellus." He stated and quickly flew to me with a murderous expression.

The demon was quickly approaching but I didn't fear him, somehow the light of the sword gave me the strength to face him fearlessly, when the demon was close enough I swung my blade and in a swift motion I severed his wing.

"Damn you!" He shouted angrily, he attacked once again but this time I felt my body move on its own, I just looked through it without any control. But I wasn't scared, the blade sung and in a movement too fast for the eye to see I slashed at his torso, where the blade hit a powerful light shined and became brighter by the second. Finally the light died down and me and the demon stared at each other, then he coughed up blood and fell on his knee. A giant cut opened on his chest and quickly ripped the demon in two, the light burned his body in a blue flame devouring it completely. With that my body shut down and I feel down exhausted.

Talion POV

I saw Celestia fight the powerful demon, when she fell down I quickly scooped her up and brought her to a safe location, with that done i joined the fight once again after that I checked on the death overlord, he was stuck under some rubble but aside from some minor injuries he was fine.
