Chapter 20 part 1/2 (Vol.1 conclusion)
Dante- you underestimated me Merlin even with those abilities there nothing compared to an Angel born a demon!!!
Merlin- huh.. what's this?
Dante's mana reveals itself
Merlin- red mana like my fathers and Mercy's but yours is crimson
Dante- yes.. this is Crimson red mana it's a defect from my mother dying while giving birth to me
Mercy- a defect? You're mana.. it was crimson when we were kids.. but it's more potent now.. Merlin be carf-
At that very moment hundreds of red floating spears made of blood mana appeared around the area
Dante- ONE THOUSAND SOLDIERS!!!
Merlin- Moonlight!!
Spears start raining from the sky hundreds attacking Merlin as he dodges them with the moonlight speed boost
Merlin- spears? Like that would work on me!
Dante- now..
the spears start to explode around him
Merlin- "shit.. how am I gonna dodge the explosions and the spears at the same time.. maybe moonlight defense can protect me from the explosions.. no then I won't be able to see and can get pierced by a spear.. what am I supposed to do his mana clearly won't be running out anytime soon.."
Mercy- Merlin take this!!
Merlin catches the thing Mercy tossed
Merlin- what the.. but why would you give me this?!
Dante- Now soldiers… RAGE
The smoke from the explosions turn into Dante's crimson red mana making it hard for Merlin to breathe
Dante- ready for the final part to my attack?
Dante snaps his fingers and the mana surrounding Merlin sparks up and creates a huge devastating explosion
Mercy- SHIT MERLIN!!!
Merlin- I'm okay
Merlin jumped extremely high using his moonlight form as a enhancement for all abilities and avoiding the explosion
Merlin- an explosion like that.. could destroy a city..
Dante- your fast Merlin.. but I already knew that
Dante- "I have to kill Merlin before he turns into that thing again.. he completely destroyed one of the layers in that destructive form and if it gets to that point again I'm not even sure if my father could stop him"
Merlin- I see.. this isn't just to mess with me and Mercy anymore.. you have other intentions..
Mercy- yes it seems he was aiming to kill you off with his first set of attacks
Merlin- well let's see you try then
Merlin puts the arm he was handed by Mercy on his missing arm and they fuse making Merlin's new arm
Merlin- Icarus left this arm behind and my father didn't destroy it.. so I don't need my arm anymore I have a new one
Dante- how interesting the arm reshaped itself to your body it's as if you were never missing an arm to begin with.. but your mana can't heal you can it.. it was the work of Mercy he used his red mana to fuse that arm to your body
Merlin- and now I'll use this arm to end you Dante..
Mercy- "Merlin.. he's been sounding more and more like me lately.. or should I say he's been sounding like a monster day by day.. he used to be so happy and cheerful.. what happened Merlin is there something going on that I don't know about.."
Merlin appears in front of Dante almost instantaneously
Dante- that speed.. how did you get so fas-
Merlin- how? I don't even know how I'm this fast now
Merlin punches Dante through mountains
Merlin- what is this sudden boost in speed and power?
Mercy- it's the arm Merlin.. I think the blood of Icarus improved your speed immensely
Merlin- well if that's the case I'll win this battle easily and we'll finally be able to get out of here
Dante- you underestimate me again Merlin?
Dante eats a ball of mana that's completely dark red
Merlin- what th-
Before Merlin can even speak another word.. Dante completely speed blitzes Merlin with no effort. Slicing Merlin with a spear and hitting him into the ground with the spear.
Mercy- DANTAE WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Dante- to win this fight I decided… to eat the heart of the end
Merlin- "cough cough"
Merlin coughs up blood from the slash
Merlin- You.. won't get… the best of me!
Mercy- a heart if the end.. Darius said something about those once.. there are only 4 of them and two have been eaten.. I guess now three have been eaten.. apparently it can boost your physical and mana potential immensely but.. it kills the eater after about 10 minutes.. Dante you decided to die fighting Merlin? WHY WHST IS YOUR GOAL DANTAE!?
Dante- I can't let Merlin get to my father.. his power.. could likely destroy all 7 layers of the inferno as well as kill my father and me.. in facf that form he was in you didn't see it but I wouldn't doubt that it could kill most in Pangea..
That twilight is too dangerous to stay.. He can't control it it would be like an untamed beast with the power to destroy realms with ease would be unleashed..
Mercy- what the hell are you even talking about Dante?
Merlin- cough… he's talking about THIS!!!
Merlin throws a small piece of his mana at Dante the mana was twilight
Dante- you're usually using your base mana I heard it was called Starfall but this mana this is the mama I seen before.. this is twilight.. LETS SEE IF ITS STRONG ENOUGH!!!
Dante attempts to punch the small dark piece of mana.. But the mana completely destroys Dante's left arm
Dante- AGGGGHHHHH
Mercy- you actually got him with that one.. even after he ate that heart!!
Merlin- look bastard… you will pay for what you said to Mercy…
Mercy- "Merlin's still thinking about other people.. other than himself… I guess that's why we became friends in the first place"
Dante- my arm.. ITS MOT REGENERATING MY RED MANA ITS NOT WORKING MY LEFT ARM IS GONE WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO MERLIN?!!
Mercy- don't tell me.. you ate that heart intending to stay alive.. it's true our blood mana likely allows us to be able to recover from eating that thing but you we're willing to take the risk and see if that theory even works here.. I'm off subject.. Merlin's mana.. twilight apparently completely removes all traces of mama from where it hit.. look at your left arm Dante
Dante- th-there's no.. mana flowing out of my arm anymore.. MERLIN YOU TOOK MY ARM AND MY ABILITY TO PRODUCE MANA FROM IT WHAT THE HELL IS THST MANA.. ILL KILL YOU BEFORE YOU CAN TOUCH MY FATHER!!
Merlin passes out from the blood loss
Mercy- Now it's my turn.. Merlin you did a great job.. I seen you holding back twilight so it wouldn't impact me as well.. I think you for that Merlin.. Leave the rest to me
Dante- You think you could possibly take me if Merlin couldn't.. his abilities in this battle far surpass yours with his mama you should know that Mercy
Mercy- he could take you.. if he didn't hold back to protect me.. you wouldn't exist anymore..
Dante- what the hell are you going to do then huh? What's your pla-
Mercy- TO USE MY BEAR HANDS TO KILL YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!
Dante- JUST TRY… ONE THOUSAND SOLDIERS!!!
The spears appear once more trying to hit Mercy but Mercy doesn't dodge no he lets the spears hit him
Mercy- you forget we both have blood mana?
Dante- THATS WHY I CREATED THE EXPLOSION PART OF THIS ATTACK REMEMBER?!
The spears start to explode all around Mercy.
Mercy walks out of the explosions instantly regenerating
Mercy- that's it?
Dante- you think my plan was to vaporize you so you can't regenerate? No I plan on keeping you alive.. just wearing you down so that you pass out Mercy there's a limit to your ability you know…
Mercy dashes towards Dante
Dante- ONE THOUSAND SOLDIERS!!! NOW AGAIN!!
Mercy- This ones for you Guvo.. BLOOD EMBER!!
Mercy's blood mana turns into flames made of blood mama a dark red flame
Dante- flames? How did you achieve this with red mana? It doesn't matter.. my spears will overwhelm you!!!
The spears melt before even coming close to Mercy as Mercy continues to run towards Dante
Dante- FINE IF ITS HAND TO HAND COMBAT YOU WANT ILL OBLIGE!!
Mercy grabs Dante and hugs him squeezing him burning him in the red flame
Dante- AAAGGGHHHH!! GET OFF OF ME MERCY.. YOU'LL INCINERATE ME!!
Mercy- THATS THE PLAN IDIOT!!! YOU HURT MY FRIEND AND NOT ONLY THAT YOU TRIED TO KILL HIM!! I BET THAT BOMB YOU MADE WAS ACTUALLY MERLINS REAL ARM TOO HUH?!
Dante- ITS FOR THE GREAT OR GOOD.. HES TOO DANGEROUS CSNT YOU SEE MERCY?! I WAS GOING TO KEEP YOU ALIVE!!
Mercy- Just shut up and die… old friend…
Dante incinerates into nothing killing him off
In the 6th Layer
Vilna- Mercy.. where is he right now?
Guvo- oh he's probably handling the situation with Merlin fine.. though I heard Dante was pretty strong
Vilna- LAX!!
Guvo- I'm joking relax hell probably be here with us soon.. just hope nothing has happened to them
Fair- there strong kids they'll be fine Lax
Crescent- my boy… is he too dangerous Fair? His mana apparently he can't control its outbursts..
Darius- I'm sure.. that it'll be fine as long as he can harness the ability of Twilight he'll be fine
Mercy- is that so?
Xavier- WHAT HAPPENED TO POOR MERLIN MY SWEET BABY BOYYYY
Mercy- oh he passed out.. long story he's healing up from my red mana
Crescent- sniff sniff" his arm.. smells different
Mercy- we used Icarus's arm
Fair- that's… wierd
Xavier- what? An angels arm.. not only an Angel but an earthbound? Would this make Merlin earthbound as well?
Darius- no.. there can only be three earthbound that's Me Azazel and Icarus..
Xavier- so Merlin isn't earthbound? Good that wicked curse of the hellbound won't fall on him then
Darius- HEY!! I'm earthbound..
Xavier- well.. good luck
Darius- thanks for the encouragement I guess.. god Damnit
Vilna- Mercy I'm glad you made it back.. my love
Fair- we're approaching the 7th layer now
Crescent- what nothing to stop us this time?
Guvo- no.. look behind us
Hundreds of spirits followed them and there dragons trying to catch them
Guvo- if we had slowed down here even just a little bit we'd be in deep shit
Mercy- strange..
Fair- finally to the seventh layer.. where Azazel will tell us the hellbound
They enter the final layer of the inferno
Azazel on a throne waiting for them
Azazel- I will answer your question Fair tell me what is it again? Oh yes!
Fair- just tell me Azazel
Azazel- the hellbound is someone with your little group right now the one that killed my son
Crescent- Merlin?
Mercy- I killed Dante…
Fair- what do you mean?
Azazel- THE HELLBOUND… IS MERCY THE VAST
Xavier- it's… Mercy?!!
Darius- Mercy.. is the one that will kill me Azazel and Icarus?!!
Icarus- i see
Fair- Icarus is here?!
Azazel- for now you won't be able to kill us and I know even if I tried date decided I'd die at your hand Mercy.. So I'll kill your lover and all of your friends.. everyone close to you will die I'll make you suffer before you kill me Mercy.. because you killed my son
Mercy- he attacked us first
Azazel- so magic knights have the right to take lives? Whenever they want?
Mercy- he was aiming to kill Merlin!
Azazel- but when he begged for his life you slaughtered him? When he no longer had the will to fight you killed your best friend? The person who saw you as a brother you murdered because you're ideals of just?
Icarus- such is the way of the hellbound huh? Oh my arm.. I see Merlin took it I'm guessing that was your work too huh Mercy.. All the hellbound dose is take isn't that right Darius?
Darius- YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH ABOUT MERCY HES NOT A MONSTER LIKE YOUR MAKING HIM OUT TO BE
Fair- this boy has only done what he feels is right
Azazel- and that just makes it okay for him to do it Fair? I thought you were Fair? But it seems that name you were given isn't quite right.. you're more like.. Tyrant haha Tyrant the Vast!
Fair- You think you can taunt me Azazel?
Azazel- you see "Fair" I know you can kill me in an instant if you wanted too but fate has other plans.. Mercy will kill me.. but not before loosing everything
Icarus- Mercy.. you know what made me this way? It was the destiny that one die id die at your hand.. but I am Icarus I'll fight against fate and kill your Mercy
Darius- Mercy don't listen to him.. we'll change fate together you won't have to kill any of us Mercy!!
Azazel expected fate
Icarus wanted to fight fate
And Darius wished to change fate
But what did Mercy want?
Mercy- I refuse to follow fate in fact I'll kill fate herself if I must
