24 End Of The Fourth Curse.
Immediately the dust and ashes vanished away from sight...one could see a teenager on his knees.
COUGH!!!
COUGH!!!!
He coughed out blood continously...before it finally receded. As he cleaned his mouth...before forcing himself onto his feet.
Glancing around him...everywhere his eyes could see to, where all covered in ashes.
There was no Eldritch Spectres in his sight...he had completed his part of the mission. And had already expended most of his energy, if not all. Hence he knew he had no other choice than to stay behind...and let the others handle the rest.
Hopefully they would be able to...
In another part of the wide dark virtual world of the Tree of Nightmare...perhaps it's even its domain. Zeras finally made it there...since as soon as Finero arrived in between the Eldritch Spectres.
His legs had rapidly torn through the air...as he quickly ran for his life...after all, that Finero's ability couldn't differiantiate enemies from foes...All that stood in its path...would be immediately burnt to death.
Hence he didn't need to be told...as he quickly ran away...not only to save his petty life, but to also help the other World Evolvers and eradicate the remaining hundred Eldritch Spectres.
Hence he had finally arrived at the only spot within the virtual world...or perhaps...domain.
Where one could see Eldritch Spectres in sight.
As they fought in a crazed manner. Claws rapidly tore through the air...legs smashed forth with tyrannical force...attempting to pierce through the World Evolvers.
Zeras immediately made use of shadow walking...it could be said that he still had the highest energy to expend... since he had barely participated in the previous battle...though all these was part of his plan.
As long as he didn't expend too much of his energy in the first phase of the battle...he would be able to expend far more in the second phase also the final phase of the fourth curse.
He had a wide grin on his face...as he immediately merged with the darkness. His body immediately bent to the right hand side. Just in time to avoid a deadly strike that attempted to rip his head apart.
The Eldritch Spectre seemed to have a look of confusion on its face...its prey was nowhere to be seen. And had suddenly made use of some sort of magic...oh...how I wished it knew better.
Zeras who had merged with the shadows and darkness of the surrounding... immediately appeared on the shadow of the Eldritch Spectre that had attempted to send him to hell.
His pair of daggers showed no mercy...as he struck out with terrifying force. His entire veins wriggled continously...as it pierced through the air with terrifying speed. It seemed the Eldritch Spectre had realized the imminent threat on its life...as its hair suddenly spread apart...the top glittered continously as it struck against the pair of daggers with terrifying force.
CLAAAANG!!!!
The sound of metals striking against each other...rocked the entire space.
'Hmm...seems that just shadow walking isn't enough.'
"Camouflage." He muttered...as he suddenly started merging with the entire surrounding....the merge was not only seamless...but flawless.
And before the Eldritch Spectre could even realize what was going on...Zeras daggers easily pierced through its skin...as it easily pierced through the heart of the Eldritch Spectre in one smooth move...
The Eldritch Spectre lost the light within its pupils...as it immediately collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud.
The battle was in its ending phase...as the battlefield seemed to have become even more...crueler...both adversaries had become more decisive. As various corpses slowly littered the ground continously....blood spluttered into the air.
Swords ripped through the air...spears pierced through the air...claws easily tore through the air...as every attack taken by both adversaries...were made to...kill!
Zeras moved at a rapid pace...every strike of his brought an Eldritch Spectre onto its knees...before sending them to death's door.
A comical scene could now be seen on the battlefield...various Eldritch Spectres were just falling and dropping onto the ground continously...it was never ending. As one would never see what had struck...instead all they would see would be the sudden fall of an Eldritch Spectre.
Almost as though some invisible being was at work...and indeed although they didn't know who this invisible being is...as long as the invisible being is on their side...who cares?
As this only boosted their adrenaline even more...their blood boiled and seethed furiously. As they smashed and ripped through the air with terrifying torce...it almost seemed as though they had been possessed...as they fought crazily and with everything they had got.
Dieee!!!! Dieee!!!!!
They roared out....their veins popping up continously as they struck out with every ounce of strength contained within them. But the same could also be said for the...Eldritch Spectres who had been reduce to a minute amount of a mere 50...compared to their previous in...abound numbers.
The Eldritch Spectres had their green eyes shining furiously...intense pressure erupted forth from their body. As they easily leapt through the air...one of them found its way on top of a World Evolver.
The World Evolver was sent smashing against the ground...before a terrifying claw suddenly tore through his chest...and then
PUCHIIIII!!!!
A heart was ripped out of the man's chest...the man had a look of shock and unwillingness on his face...as his eyes immediately lost their usual dim..sending him to hell!
Zeras immediately appeared behind the Eldritch Spectre who seemed to be celebrating...as it raised the heart into the sky... perhaps, showcasing it to its fellow spectres.
But Zeras could care less...as his pair of daggers easily tore through the air.
PUCHIIIII!!!!!
The Eldritch Spectre didn't even see it coming...as it glanced at its chest...only to see a sharp edge...had already pierced through its heart.
It tried to hold the sharp point...but it was already too late. As Zeras eyes flashed with a cold glint.
PUCHIIIII!!!!
He pulled out with terrifying force...as dark-green blood spluttered into the air...a rain of blood unlike any other ensued forth afterwards.
Corpses were littering the ground at a rapid speed...it almost seemed as though it were some sort of corpse day...and perhaps a rain of blood. As Nameless' pairs of dagger showed no heistation...neither did they show mercy against their foes.
Every strike of it...brought countless Eldritch Spectres towards the gate of hell...finally time passed by. And within the blink of an eye, one would say...
Yet the figjters...the one who had truly survived till the end...felt as though they had been fighting for all eternity...their arms ached them...various cuts coyod be seen on their bodies...as everyone could fully prove that they had truly survived a war!
Well...everyone except, Haezel, Khain and... Charlotte.
Zeras hands forcefully jerked backwards...as within his hand, laid the heart of the last Eldritch Spectre...the Eldritch Spectre immediately collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud.
Marking the end of the fight...as Nameless finally materialized into reality. Everyone finally knew the terror behind the mysterious death of the Eldritch Spectres...
"Chaos Devouring." He muttered...and immediately afterwards.
A white stream of energy were easily absorbed by him...as it seemed he was the only one who could see it.
The words he had been waiting for finally appeared.
[You have gained 50 evolving shards.]
"Finally, the fourth curse is over." Zeras muttered with a light smile on his face...he inhaled and exhaled rapidly. As a green portal finally enclosed everyone who had survived till the end...
And when they all opened their eyes...they found themselves in a familiar place.
A place they would have never thought they would be so happy to see...again!
"Finally...we are back in the dream realm." Finero said with a light smile on his face.
Who would have expected it...they would be happy to be back...back into a World Of Nightmare...
Perhaps to them...the dream realm is way better and acceptable than the mysterious...domain of the Seouls Of Nightmare.
"Finally, we have overcomed the fourth curse. All that remains, is the five-five curse; also the last curse. Before I destroy the stupid tree." Zeras murmmured with a cold look in his eyes...staring into the distance..
The anger within his eyes...couldn't be any greater...
That feeling of not being in control...that feeling of being a pawn...he was going to destroy it all. Until there's no such emotion left within him...
'I will always be the one in control.' He vowed with clenched hands.
As Rosaline's voice suddenly tore through the air...
