"Arghhh!!!" Luca screamed out in pain as he felt something burning deep within him; something unnatural…
His body was fine, yet it was not. He thought he could smell a charcoal-y, sulfurous-like scent… almost like burning skin.
"Arghhh!!!"
His scream intensified as he fell onto the ground and crouched in a fetal position while grabbing his c.h.e.s.t. It felt like something was being torn away from him. If not for the loud half-frozen gale wind that he created out to protect his image, someone would have heard his painful, ear-piercing screams.
Soren and Lann looked on with frowns on their faces. Like the other spectators, they could not see what was going on with Luca. The half-frozen gale wind that Luca generated around him to protect him was blocking everyone's view, including theirs… But they knew something was wrong.
Otherwise, there was no way Luca would do such a thing. Calling up the gale wind took up his soul power, and Luca was usually careful about how he used his soul power, especially during an intense fight with an opponent that he was wary of.
Looking up at the top of the tornado, they saw Boreas fully covered in black flames. That was somewhat normal, in a way… But what was not normal was the faces with different expressions that appeared in the flames every now and then… There were all kinds of expressions, from calm to panic, from happiness to anger, from pain to joy…
However, those faces weren't… humans, nor were they animals… Instead, it looked like an amalgamation of those two different races.
Those faces belonged to...
"Demons…" President Presley's eyes widened as he watched the faces appear and disappear along the flames. "What's the demon inside Juin really? Is that…"
His hands grabbed onto the railing in front of him as he stood up abruptly, showing the most intense reaction to a fight that he had shown ever since they arrived at Atlantis.
Even King Frederic, whose eyes were on those weird faces, looked over at President Presley. He had never seen the man behaving in such a manner before.
"How the hell did he manage to call on the Demonic Soul Devouring Flames? That's an ancient spell..." President Presley asked himself with curiosity and excitement as his eyes narrowed.
He then recalled something and frowned as he muttered under his breath, "That's an ancient spell from The Nightmare Rift…"
Crack…
As he muttered the name of the place he most hated, his hands gripped onto the railing even tighter, almost threatening to break the railing into three parts.
"ROARRRR!!!"
Boreas roared in pain as parts of him were turned rotten by the weird flames… almost as if the flames decayed instead of burned. And those parts decayed and disappeared, before being reformed again by parts of the tornado. And this kept repeating, torturing the poor Wind God continuously.
"Retreat!!!" Luca burst out all of a sudden, sending the half-frozen gale wind bursting apart and stabbing into the side of the protective dome.
"Luca!" Lann gasped when she saw the state he was in.
Luca was standing in a pool of sweat, and there were drops of blood dripping out from his eyes, ears, and nostrils. He was seriously injured internally by the weird attack, and if he did not stop Boreas now, the attack would not only kill Boreas, it would also kill him.
"BOREAS! RETREAT! NOW!" Luca yelled as he made complicated hand signals with both hands. A bright blue light exploded out from his raised palms that were facing each other as
Four more tornadoes were created from each corner of the battle stage.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
All four of the tornadoes moved at once toward the largest tornado in the middle of the room, sweeping up the tiny particles of ice that were on the ground before merging with the tornado. And at the moment, the black flames on the largest tornado seemed to subside slightly, as if the flames were trying to engulf the new tornadoes as well.
"ROAARRR!!!"
Boreas, who now appeared to have been corrupted in half by the black flames, roared in pain before absorbing back the black-flamed tornado into his conch. He then quickly flew back to Luca before entering into his c.h.e.s.t.
"Cough! Cough!" Luca coughed out in pain as he rubbed his c.h.e.s.t, which felt like burning. A couple of black veins spread out ominously from where Boreas entered his c.h.e.s.t, seemingly threatening to engulf and rot him, just like it did Boreas earlier.
The black veins moved up to his chin, and to his, and everyone else's surprise, the black veins suddenly disappeared.
Luca, who was panting from the pain, rubbed his c.h.e.s.t in disbelief and looked down at the area where he felt the most intense pain; the place where Boreas merged back with him.
"There's… nothing there…" he thought as he stood there with a weakened body, doing his best to keep himself upright. He then suddenly thought of something and looked up.
In the middle of the battle stage, Juin, who was previously floating in midair after the disappearance of the tornado, was freefalling down onto the battlestage.
"Juin!" Both Tucker and Cyrus called out when they finally saw Juin. First, it was in surprise, but it soon turned to horror when they realized that Juin was completely unconscious and was about to plunge to his death.
In that odd space, Juin was still facing Hades, who suddenly frowned and looked up with narrowed eyes, as if he was seeing somewhere further away from where they actually were.
Hades sighed. "I can't wait for you to get stronger…" he suddenly said to Juin before slowly disappearing from Juin's sight. "And that annoying idiot is still fighting to take over your body…" he said with a growl as his body flickered in and out of view.
Before he fully disappeared, he chuckled and said, "Juin, I think it's time for you to wake up or you're going to be in a lot of pain…"
The last thing Juin could remember was Hades snapping his fingers. When he opened his eyes, he saw a weird, opaque dome.
"Dome…?" Juin thought. He then glanced backward and saw that he was just seconds away from his death. "Argh!!!"
He started flailing around as his brain failed to work. "Merge! Merge! Merge!"
