Before him stood Theeven, the same one who had abandoned them when they needed help.. he was here to assist against the demon army.
As Theeven stood before Mathis, his holy blade was shining brightly although it was covered in dried blood of both humans and demons.
Next to Theeven was someone unfamiliar, it was a woman--she wore a black hoodie, black baggy pants, white sneakers similar to Theeven's, was of around the same height as Theeven and her hair was ginger.
"Sir Theeven! The boy is awake!" The woman called out to Theeven.
Theeven then looked down at Mathis, his face indifferent like it always was.
"Finally awake huh, you're friends there were struggling--so i decided to lend a hand, but you're little girlfriend was getting in my way yelling about how I left you all for dead.. so i incapacitated her." Theeven said, his tone icy cold.
[Warning: Gem's power is becoming unstable!]
Mathis upon hearing what Theeven did to Selvyn seemed to be fuming with anger.
"You dare show your face here after leaving us and then harm Selvyn?!" Mathis yelled out, his voice dripping with anger and rage.
Mathis raises his odachi, slashing at the girl--yet the girl deflects with relative ease and strikes him down.
"Stay back, but you called that thing 'Selvyn'? So a creature who pretends to be human can be named like that? Disgusting." The woman said, her face twisting in disgust, Theeven nods in agreement with her.
Mathis watched on helplessly as the girl easily struck him down, wondering what Theeven could do if that girl managed to put him down in one strike.
As Mathis fell to the ground he caught a glimpse of his two loyal companions--the unknown man was holding off the hoards of demons by himself with major struggle, as Selvyn was on the ground, unconsious and bleeding profusely from where her tendons had been severed--it would seem that Theeven had missed and cut one of her arteries and since she's unconsious she is unable to regenerate at superhuman speeds.
"YOU ARE NO HUMAN! NO SAINT! AND CERTAINLY NOT A LIGHT WHO WILL SAVE THE WORLD! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT ANOTHER ONE OF THESE DEMONS!!" Mathis yelled out at the top of his lungs.
Theeven and the woman couldn't help but laugh at his words, words were futile.
[Warning! Gem has gone unstable!]
[Gem has given Mathis 'skill: superhuman regeneration!]
Mathis gets back up, his wounds already healed--his eyes having a glimmer of red glow in them.
Theeven gets ready, he has now gotten serious--the woman by his side mirrors his movement and expression.
[Skill: Aura of authority has evolved into 'Skill: the ruler's aura lvl. MAX'!]
[Skill: the ruler's aura lvl. MAX has been activated and boosted by the Gem of -------]
A darkness comes from Mathis, engulthing all the light in the vicinity while creating such a pressure that all the demons present immediately retreat.
Upon feeling it--both Theeven and his friend crumble to their knees as Mathis raised his manifested odachi, preparing to end it in one strike.
As Mathis without hesitation brought his odachi down on them, the unknown man appeared next to him.. putting his hand on his shoulder and speaking in a soft tone.
"No need to kill these scums, you would only get blood on your hands."
Although the unknown man had stopped Mathis's blade a mere centimeter away from their necks--there was still blood that trickled from their neck, although it was just a minor cut.
[Gem is stabilising, as its owner's emotions are calming down.]
[A new threat is approaching, it's power is immeasurable.]
Everyone's gazes turned to the now silent gate of hell, a tall man walked out, he wore a fancy black suit and had afew strands of grey hair.. he looked muscular, he seemed to be radiating power and authority.
"You have fought well, for mere humans. And what's that i see--a humanoid dragon? I haven't seen one of these in the last 1489 years." The man speaks, his voice deep and holding no malice.
The man stepped towards Selvyn, each stronger being calculated to not waste even a single second.
Mathis was about to charge forward but the unknown man stops him.
"Look, i know your really protective of her.. but the old man does no seem to have any reason to hurt her or any of us for that matter." The unknown man says.
The old man loses his calm, professional expression to a big, sinister smirk.
"That's right, i won't be killing of you.. but on the other hand.. ill be killing that girl." The old man says, his smirk growing sadistic.
In the flash of an eye his hand went down to strike Selvyn, but Mathis was faster--blocking the strike with the tip of his odachi.. although the odachi was strong enough to cut through the void in Mathis's hands--it shattered to shards upon making contact with the man's hand.
"You seem promising.. and you hold 'the gem' aswell, it seems to regconize you as its worthy owner." The old man says with a scoff.
Not caring about what the old man had to say, Mathis manifested a pair of daggers--knowing he couldn't win.. he used his final resort.
