**Chapter 26 - temporary peace.**
Mathis and Theeven both slash at the king--their blades hitting the king and creating a shockwave that blasted away what was left of the buildings in the vicinity.
As the dust cleared, the king stood there unfazed--and most importantly.. unharmed, his smirk widening.
"Is that all you've got? You, who wields the true holy sword." The king said, his voice laced with mockery.
The king looked down at them, before then smacking the two of them flying over 20 feet.
[Mathis's HP has reached critical levels!]
[Theeven's HP has reached critical levels!]
"That's it!-" Arthur yelled out upon the sight of seeing Mathis being flung and nearly killed in one strike.
Arthur grabbed the king by the neck and raised him up with one hand--but the king did not take that kindly.
Arthur's arm falls off as blood splattered all over. The king did not give Arthur time to register anything, as he then stabbed Arthur with a dagger.
Arthur gasps for air as he tried to reach for a full restoration potion--but the king stepped forward and crushed it before Arthur.
"Arthur!!" Selvyn yelled out his name, getting over her fear of him--he rushes to Arthur to try and feed him a restoration potion, only to get a longsword stabbed through her back and out her torso.
Selvyn yelled out in pain, she still managed to throw a restoration potion to Arthur--but the king kicks it, causing it to shatter before her and Arthur.
The king then turned to the dragon girl who was always with Theeven and threw his blade, penetrating her chest and making her fall to the ground.
"SELVYN!!! ARTHUR!!!" Mathis's yells pierced the air as he ran over to them--only to be punched to the floor by the king.
[Arthur has used 'skill: unregistered' to its full power.]
[The Gem has lent Mathis all of its power, warning! The amount of power being given will destroy the host's body!]
Arthur stands up, he picks up his sword with his one hand and points it at the king--his bleeding has temporarily halted--a dark aura coming from him.. and aura so dark that it engulths the darkness of the king like it was nothing but a mere roach.
"I, Arthur.. the blade of Mathis--present to you my true power!" Arthur said, his tone exuding power--while his eyes were visibly glowing blue and overflowing with power.. his own body was falling apart due to the massive power he was unleashing.
"I could swear you were just about to die.. but that won't change any time soon." The king said, laughing in mockery.
The king felt a blade against his neck, as he turned around to see who was putting the blade to his neck--he saw none other but Mathis himself.
Mathis stood behind him, his expression clearly showed that he was pissed off--his eyes having a red glow as his own body seemed to be falling apart quickly.
As the king sense the danger he attempted to flee--but he was cut off by Theeven walking out the rumble, his face dark as he held his own holy sword in his hand--arms red-ish aura coming off him.
[Theeven has awakened.]
The three of them surround the king, their aura mixed together being so powerful that the king's aura was reduced to non existant.
[Gem has resonated with its creation 'Selvyn' and has granted her with immense knowledge and true power.]
Selvyn stood back up--she then walked over and made the trio into a squad. surrounding the king, her aura being similar to Mathis's.
She then pulled out the same daggers Mathis had given her a while ago, their state still being perfectly maintained.. showing she had taken care of what Mathis had given her.
The four look at eachother--before then simultaneously attacking the king, landing all four strikes at the same time.
The strike triggering a building sized tsunami, wiping out what was left of the destroyed city..
As the king was killed, a massive amount of power was unleashed from his body--such a large amount that the tsunami blew up into rain.
As Mathis looked up, he noticed that their strike had split the skies and had even left a mark on the moon.
"We.. nearly cut the moon into two.." Mathis said as he looked around, the once broken city was now gone as if it had never existed--this was the result of a mere single combined attack from the four of them.
Theeven ignored Mathis's words and rushed to the dragon girl and quickly tended to her wounds.
"Mia, are you okay?" Theeven asked the dragon girl, his usually indifferent expression now being very soft.
Selvyn looked at Mathis and pouted.
"Why don't you treat me like how Theeven treats his woman" Selvyn said in a mock jealous tone, her expression was actually teasing.
"Oh, you should see how Mathis acts whenever someone messes with you" Arthur says, his tone was teasing--while Mathis was patching up Arthur's wounds.
"Oh shut up, before I make your other arm disappear aswell" Mathis said jokingly.
