Chapter Twelve: The return of Kungen
"What?!" Arjen was shocked, seeing his attack failed so miserably even though he was in his third release form..
"It's all futile. You must admit that I am too strong for you, Arjen Tennes. Our difference is strength should be apparent now." Beelzebub stated. After those words, he launched his offensive on Arjen. Millions of glass shards flew up in the air, which then collapsed upon Arjen from every possible angle. After which, they flew up, form a gigantic axe with swung down at Arjen with the strength of a titan.

"Shit.." Arjen barely managed to survive the first hit, his entire body was now covered with fresh wounds. The second blow was coming.. Arjen lost consciousness before the attack managed to hit.
Before it hits, the gigantic glass axe shattered. "Boy oh boy.. " Arjen's wings grew extremely huge and with a single sweep of them, he flew up high into the air.
"What in the world just happened?" Beelzebub inquired, his face was still stony and analytical.
"My name is Kungen. I am Arjen Tennes's second form. Now's where all the fun begins." He finished the sentence with a smile.
"Second form huh? What a drag.. I will kill you and end this once and for all. Crystallized" All the glass shards flew at high velocity towards Kungen, try to replace all his molecules with glass molecules then shattering his body into a bloody pulp.
"Light Blast" The attack vaporized all the glass shards.
"What?!"
"I am Arjen's potential unlocked. He has reached his limits while training and to transcend that limit, his father sealed up 80 percent of his strength. So what you were fighting before I surface was just 20 percent of his strength. I am what the elder sage created to protect his son when he's in danger. So now, with 100 percent, what chances do you stand? Amon, your fellow Demon Lord wass killed in 3 hits, I wonder how many would suffice for you?" Kungen replied.
"Your arrogance would be your undoing." The Demon Lord retorted, his face still having no emotion.
"Will it? Cascading Flare" An immense blast of magic was released by the swing of Aureola.
Beelzebub raised a hand to block it. He managed for a second before being overwhelmed by the very potent attack.
"Fuck.." Beelzebub lost all composure. He began an all out offensive, with flicks of his hands, sending waves of glass at Kungen.
"Blitzshield" Kungen's shield wasn't even scratched by those attacks. "This is Aureola's third form. Amon was killed by it's first form within 3 hits. You have lost. Give it up. Look carefully, at my Light of Crusade." A thousand Aureola assailed Beelzebub, shattering his glass shield and stabbing into his body like it's nothing. The Demon Lord surevived but Kungen was already in front of him. "Goodnight, Beelzebub. Cascading Flare."
Beelzebub's screams echoed into the night...... Nothing remained of the arrogant Demon Lord. Kungen turned to the shocked Marin and Jasmin, "Heal Arjen and Weiss." With those words, he faded back to Arjen's form..


After an indefinite hiatus, the next chapter will be back soon.


Chapter Eleven: Showdown with Gluttony
"My, my.. Look how badly you've been hit.." A sly voice from the shadows remarked.
"Shut up.. Lucifer." Lilith glared at the figure in that shadows.
"Understandable. You got yourself whopped so badly. Refrain my anger." Lucifer emerged from the shadow.. Cladded in a black leather outfit, with Arjen's features but with jet black hair and emerald orbs for his eyes. He gazed for a moment at the battered Demon Lord. "Beelzebub, your turn now. I have confidence in your abilities. Do what Amon and Lilith failed to do."
A skinny guy materialised.. "Consider it done." And those words, he casted a portal and stepped into it.

Meanwhile, the party was asleep in their tents when..
A djä energy, so powerful that it shattered all the wards set in place by Arjen. "Shit. We are under attacked again."
The party jumped out of the tent and had withdrawn their weapons. "Who are you?" Arjen asked calmly.
"Beelzebub of Gluttony." The skinny guy walked towards them as he spoke.
Without warning, Aerith released her sword, "Gather, Ichorous." With that, she sent two spears of water at the demon lord.
"Futile efforts." Using one hand, he swept the attacks away like it was nothing.
Aerith tried to a gigantic tsunami, seemingly formed from nowhere, it was heading for Beelzebub and the attack was stopped with one hand. He held the gigantic wave in place then again, with a sweep, the attack dissipated. Then with another swing of his hand, a red hand, which was at the size of a tree, mimicked his actions and was going to bowl Aerith over when..
"Blitzshield"
The shield just shattered and Aerith slammed into a nearby tree, dead.
"She's dead. Give up. You will never win me." The demon lord said, casting a little glance at the corpse of the former leader of Freedom Guild.
"Annihilate." A extremely large blast of djä was sent at the demon lord who deflected it away with a sweep of his hand.
"What?!" Weiss was stunned. Even absorbing so much djä and sending it against him had no result. "I guess it can't be helped then, Eradicate, Vitiate." She had unsealed her sword, "Extirpate." Djä and magic both gathered at the hilt of her sword, forming a maelstrom of energy which was then fired at Beelzebub.
He once again raised a hand, managed to hold the massive energy blast for a second before it was threatening to overcome him.. He just raised his other hand and tried to deflect it with both hands, he was then overwhelmed by an huge explosion caused by the conflicting force of the djä and magic.
"It's over." Weiss smiled.
"You think so? Is that all you've got?" The demon lord emerged unscathed. "My turn." Raising his hand for the umpteen time, he pointed at Weiss. A djä spear moving extremely fast pierce into her legs, "Now, meet your friend in afterlife." Before he could do anything, Arjen's sword swung down at his shoulder, "Useless efforts." He stopped Arjen's sword a just one finger. Then sent Arjen crushing back, in the next moment.
"Amplify, Aureola."
Two of Arjen's illusions attempted to cut the skiny demon lord, but again, he blocked the swords with his hands. Arjen, himself then stabbed the demon in his face as he was blocking only those illusions, managing to land a huge, deep cut on his face.
"Impressive. Managed to cut me."
"You don't seem all too concern, demon." Arjen retorted.
"The difference in our power should be apparent." Punching Arjen and sending him flying back.
"You sure are smug, demon."
"Am I? You are blinded by your own success. To assume that you can actually beat me?"
"Am I? You will regret ever saying that."
"We'll see about that. I want people to know that beating Arjen Tennes with one hand is child's play."
"Soar, Aureola."
"Whoa.. What a sight." Beelzebub said with a glance at Arjen. " Rip, Vapostril." Sand all around around began gathering in front of the demon lord. Then all of them fused into one. Turning into glass. "My weapon is my glove. Once unsealed, I turn all the sand around me in glass, then control them for killing."
"Try this. Light Of Crusade." Thousands of sword rained onto Beelzebub.
"Shatter." The gigantic glass pane shattered and formed a shield.
The swords just bounced of the shield...

Will Arjen ever win?


Chapter Ten: His beating white wings
"Soar, Aureola."
A blinding light made even Lilith the demon lord to shield her eyes. And then, with her next sight of the irrepressible Arjen Tennes, all composure left her. With two gigantic wings behind him, and holding a sword that was shining like a beacon in the evening sun.
"What.. Are you?" Lilith stummered
"It doesn't matter what I am. This is Aureola's third form. I forgo all magic, and channel all of it into my sword. I can now use my sword's abilities to the maximum."
"The.. Wings..?"
"Each feather are made of magic, it will all fade away when I die or use up all my magic." Turning back to look at them, "I doubt I will use it up."

Lilith shrieked, and numerous beautiful women appeared, with the all perfect body and looks yet with fangs. They are Succubi.. Demons that prey on men for sexual desires to absorb all their vitality and energy till dry husks remains. They are also fearsome fighters when aroused, all waiting to pounce on Arjen and take his magic for their own usage.
"Do you seriously think that this little girls can defeat me?" Arjen smiled. "Light of crusade." With a gigantic swing of his sword, thousands of swords that were similar to Arjen's fell from the sky and rained onto Lilith and her Succubi. All except Lilith perished in the deadly rain..
"You.. What are you?"
"Don't make me repeat myself. It doesn't matter who or what I am."
"You..."
"Space Collapse." Particles of light began gather at Lilith's feet, the speed of the the gathering increased to an unprecented level until she was trapped and covered by orb-shaped light prison.
The gigantic orb compressed, vapourising very thing inside.
"You..." Against all odds, Lilith actually survived. Then she vanished with a sweep of her gown.
"She actually survived that."
"Don't ever let me worry about you again.." Marin threw her arms around Arjen.
"I won't.. I promise.." His wings faded away.. His sword was sealed once again.

Arjen set up wards to protect themselves against any demonic presences. "Now that we are safe and all.. I will tell you how I got bewitched."
"How?" Aerith asked.
"I heard some sounds coming from the forest while I was on guard. Then I went there to check, only to find her lying injured there. After I patched up her wounds, which was only minor, she kissed my cheek.. Then everything went blank.."
"She kissed you?!" Marin looked livid.
"Yea.."
"She's so dead when I see her again."
"Chill, partner." Aerith said, trying to calm Marin down.
"Don't ever let your anger override your consciousness, sis." Jasmin cried.
"Hard when someone tried to seduce your boyfriend and made him attack you."
"They are right. But next time we see her again, you will have a chance to fight her, my love." Arjen answered her.


Chapter Nine: Light Space. Arjen Vs Marin
The party had set up their camp in a nearby forest, trying to a break from all the fighting. With the cold night breeze ruffling Arjen's hair, he swept his hair back. He was guarding the camp from any potential enemies. It was his turn for patrolling, after Jasmin's. He was smoothing his hair when he heard some rustling in the trees nearby, and a pungent smell of perfume filled the air.
"Who's there?"
There was no response.. Arjen cautiously went in to look for the source of disturbance. Darkness then enveloped him..

"Arjen?" Weiss shouted. "Where are you?"
"I try to sense him and his magic." Aerith suggested.
There was again no response, attempts to sense Arjen's magic was futile and that left the party worried. Arjen wasn't one who would had left without a word. "Let's look for him.." Marin said.
"We'll split. Meet back here in an hour." Taking charge of the party, Jasmin headed off into the woods.

Just as they were heading off, enormous djä pressured into their campsite. Immediately they rushed back. To find that a woman that was so stunningly beautiful and had a perfect curvaceous body. She was cladded in an black gown which gave ample hints of the figure within. There was two slits that revealed her thighs as she walks.
"Hello, ladies." The woman smiled at the party. Her voice was like music to their ears. There was immediately a desire to kneel down to her despite that there was seemingly no reason to do so.
"Who are you?" Aerith asked.
"Me?" The lady chuckled. "Just an passer-by."
"Did you feel the enormous djä just now?" Marin inquired.
"Oh yes.." With those words, she released djä into the air. Almost overwhelming them.
"You are a demon!!" Weiss shouted. "Now you die!! Annihilate." A red light crashed towards the targeted lady but.. In a flash, the beam was deflected.
"I think you must think about fighting me again? When he's mine." The demon smiled. Arjen appeared, hands on the hilt of his sword.
"You nuts, Arjen?" Weiss was shocked.
"I am Lilith of Lust. Tennes is mine." She caressed Arjen's cheeks and kissed him. Arjen's eyes widen and remained blank.
"He's under her spell!!" Marin cried.
"Finish them. My love." Lilith whispered to Arjen.
Arjen lunged at Weiss, but Marin blocked him off with her trident. "Whoa, you can unseal without a command? The demon lord smiled. "Impressive."
"Arjen taught me that."
"Did he? Arjen, kill her."
"MARIN? YOU WON'T STAND A CHANCE." Weiss shouted.
"YEA.." Jasmin agreed.
"No... This is my fight. So I can get my boyfriend back!!"
"Your boyfriend?" Weiss was stunned.
"Yes.." With that, Marin spinned her trident in her hand. Then sent a blast of fire at Arjen, which was blocked virtually effortlessly. Before she knew it, Arjen was already behind her. "Light Break" That area was covered in smoke.
"You died. Kid." Lilith laughed.
"No. A tree blocked the hit but it was now just a stump on the ground. "I am a druid. I can use nature as my weapon."
"Kill her."
Arjen nodded with that same blank face, "Amplify.." With that, magic engulf the air, Marin realised her arm was already slashed by Arjen.
"MARIN!! YOU WILL DIE!!" Jasmin cried.
"No.. I will win.. I must.."
"Arjen, use your second unseal." Lilith smiled wickedly.
"Second?" Marin was shocked.
"Yes. Weapons have four unseal processes. Now.. You will die. My dear has already mastered all his processes."
"He isn't your dear." Marin answered sternly.
"Oh.. I will have your love killing you. Arjen. Now."
Arjen dropped his sword, or it seemed like he did. "Encase, Aureola." A light emitted from the sword and made the whole environment to be drenched in light. They were in a dome-like dimension.
"Dear. Explain your power."
Arjen droned, "I forgo my sword.. To.. Channel all my energy into magic.. And the light.. Will mute.. All your senses.. To an extent.. I don't exist.." With that, he vanished.
Marin can't see, hear or feel anything, she panicked and slashed wildly.. But to no avail. Suddenly, a beam of light burn through her shoulders. It was one of Arjen's favourite spells, Rödblitz. "ARJEN.." Marin screamed.. "I LOVE YOU!!"
The spell broke.. Arjen was awake.. He withdrew his sword and power. "Lilith.. You made me hurt Marin. You are so dead."
"Am I?"
"Oh yes.. Jasmin, heal Marin. I'll will kill this bitch."
"Oh yea?"
"The third release of Aureola. You shall be dazzled.."

To be continued..


Chapter Eight: The Second Demon Lord
"Looks like Amon got himself whipped." A voice in the shadows said.
"Ah yes, I think you ought to finish what he start?" Lucifer said.
The two demon lord was at Lucifer's dwelling, Legeps Fort. A place where reality becomes blurred, those who ventured here never returned..
"Oh yes, I would." A beautiful woman stepped out of the shadows. "I am Lilith of Lust, I will use what men most desire." She finished with a smile.

"We've arrived in Aspire." Arjen told the the party.
"This town is scary.." Jasmin looked shaken.
"Everything here has been tainted by demonic energy so no what object it is, most likely it would be dangerous. Be careful."

The party was resting in a inn when a dense mist enveloped the whole village. Making it almost impossible to navigate through. "Flare" Arjen casted a spell to clear the mist but it was to no avail. "This is a magical mist. We are under attack, it seems."
"By who?" Fabio asked.
"I've no idea. Ladies, stay back. Weiss, protect Marin and Jasmin. " Arjen told them. "Aurora"
A extreme large beam of light blasted through the wall on their right, and the wall emitted a scream that chilled the party's soul. Almost immediately, a huge number of people surrounded them.
"Who are you people?" Arjen inquired.
"We are from the Freedom Clan of assassins. Prepare for your demise." One of the opponent answered.
"Using such words only seems to make you weak." Arjen raised a hand, "Flash" A bright light emanated from his hand burned away all of them. "Seems like our demise will come after theirs" Arjen remarked to Fabio sarcastically.
Fabio chuckled and in the middle of his laughter, his head was sliced off.. Cleanly..
"FABBBIOOOO!!!"
A woman in black appear. "I'm the leader of Freedom Guild. And it seems that you people like carnage. Killed off all my men I see?"
Arjen kept his cool despite Fabio's death. "Looks like we will have alot to talk about? Do we?" Arjen disappeared in a blink..
Appearing behind the woman, he stabbed her, driving his sword through her torso. The woman then fainted but Arjen can't bring himself to kill her. "Jasmin, heal her."
"Are you nuts? She killed FABIO!!"
"Do it."
Jasmin call forth particles of the air to reverse the wounds of the woman. Then she pressed her hand against her head and shouted, "AWAKEN!"
"Spellbind Prison" The spell Arjen casted sealed the woman into a circle of power which then imprisoned her.
"Who are you?"
"Aerith Fetalle."
"Why did you attack?"
"I need to protect the town from anymore harm. I thought you were Amon's agents."
"Amon is dead, Aerith."
"Really?" She broke down crying.
"Why are you crying?"
"I killed your friend.."
"Because you wanted to protect the village.?"
"He has got an demonic aura in him. Search his clothing." She sobbed.
Arjen found an orb which could be released into Damien's weapon. "Del Vlad's. Let me cleanse it."
Over an hour had passed, Arjen had then finished cleansing the weapon. "Marin, use this."
"ME?"
"YES."
Marin took the orb from Arjen. Arjen then explained, "It's a trident which controls fire."
"Oh.. I see.."
Turning back to Aerith, "you are right. My friend was corrupted by the orb. I trusted him enough not to sense what's within him. He was violent in that fight against Amon. Corrupted by Wrath." Arjen released her from her prison.
"May I know of your powers, Aerith?"
Aerith pulled out her sword, "I can control water. My sword's name is Ichorous. And I can manipulate water in the air using my magic."
"Intriguing. Do you want to join my party? To rid the world of the seven Demon Lords."
"Could I?"
"Yes, if you want to."
"Alright."
So the McAteers lost one of their most prominent fighters but gained one whose powers are unknown yet managed to slice off Fabio's head. A task, even Damien Del Vlad, an archdemon fail to do..

To be continued..


Chapter Seven: Kungen
The party continued on their journey, to their next village. The closest village to Amon's dwelling was Aspire, village of the dead. There are almost no life surrounding it, all around was dismal, barren land. Hence, the nickname of the village. The McAteers were just a couple of miles away from Aspire. All too sudden, intense demonic energy enveloped them and the pressure caused by the djä sent the ladies crashing to the ground. Arjen immediately cast a spell that blocked out djä in their surrounding. "Looks like what we were seacrching for had came to us."
"A sharp sword, a sharp wit.." A sly voice came out of nowhere.
"Show yourself, Amon. Seems to me demon lords are just cowards?"
"Prove yourselves.." Hoards of demons appear all around them.
"Rubbish.." Weiss interjected. "Annihilate"
A red beam of energy blew all the demons away.
"Impressive. Ten battalions gone just like that. Seems like all of you are stronger than I thought.. Prepare yourself.."
A man stepped out of the shadows. Looks like any normal human being except that he had two large leather wings. "I am Amon Of Wrath. Die before me, humans."
"A demi-human form uh?"
"To better utilised our powers, we demon lord have human forms." Amon said with a smirk.
Then with one wave of his hand, an invisible force sent Weiss crashing into the trees behind with an awful thud. "Pathetic.."
"WEISS!?" Fabio shouted. "Hail, become my arrow. Frost, be my blade. Snow, you are my shield." Fabio's dagger was unsealed into it's true appearance. A wakizashi. Then dragging his sword back with his sword hand, putting his other hand over it, "Petals of Frost" A flurry of icicles was summoned, and then shattered into pieces resembling petals. "Dance with elegance". In unison, all the ice petals began criss crossing towards Amon and attempted to cut him into tiny bits and pieces. Driving cuts into Amon, he got mad and pulled out his weapon. A stick. "Awaken" The stick extended and at it's edge, a huge curving blade seemingly formed from wood appeared. It then turned jet black. Black, as death itself. "Behold my scythe, Necromortis. Now, face it's wrath. Skewer that punk. The blade became horizontal and glowed blood red. It extended towards Fabio at high speed at buried itself deep into his shoulder. "AHHHHHHHHHH"
"You arm is mine." Amon smirked "Expand"
The blade expanded and tore Fabio's arm off. Fabio had only a little of his consciousness left by then.
"Take care of Fabio and Weiss, ladies. It's time to finish this whole charade." The voice came from Arjen but it's wasn't like his tone at all. This tone was aloof and arrogant.
"Who is that.."
"Kun.. Gen.." Fabio rasped.
"Kungen?"
"His.. Poten.. Tial.. Unl..locked.."
"Don't talk, I will reattach your arm. Jas, heal Weiss."

Kungen, who made Arjen's auburn hair much longer, and had narrowed eye. "This will be over quickly." An apparition of Kungen appeared behind Amon and cut of his arm cleanly.
"WHHATTT?!"
"Light is the medium of my abilities. This sword's abilities. That was an illusion created by my light. And whatever my illusions does, it fools your mind to think that it's real, therefore inflicting the damage to your weak little body. Even if you know this fact, your mind will still get fooled again and again. Hence the name of sword is Aureola. Now, to unseal my blade." Driving his sword into the ground, "Amplify. Now I have complete control over light." With astounding speed, three Kungen appeared and sliced off Amon's wings and his other arm. He had absolutely no time to react. Kungen himself, with his blade lighted up, pressed it against Amon's torso. "Goodnight, Amon. Cascading flare" A red crescent light with a very instensity of magic, vaporized Amon. Leaving only ashes.. But Kungen wasn't finish, he used his light to gather all the particles of Amon, and then encased it in a ball of light. "Brighten" Every trace of Amon disappeared.
Kungen then collapsed, Arjen was back. Albeit heavily panting.
"Arjen!!" Marin ran over to hug him.
With a weak smile, "Marin, aren't you afraid? Of my second form?"
"No.. I'm not.. And I healed Fabio.."
"Great... Don't leave me now.. I lov.." Arjen sanked into her arms, unconscioused.
Marin, with a wide grin, allow Arjen to sleep on her thigh. "We'll set camp here tonight, yea sis?"
"Ok. You like him, don't ya?" Jasmin smiled.
"Kinda.." Marin said with a blush.
Weiss then said, "Well this will be between us girls. Haha. Not a guy will know." Noting that Fabio was knocked out too.
With that, the girl set up camp and let the guys rest. "Our turn to protect them now.." Jasmin said.

To be continued..
