Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 - At the gates of hell (Part 2)

On the battlefield where Light and Tetsu were, without making his enemy wait, Light decided to attack mercilessly and with all his fury – Electric rumble! –

He shouted while very enraged, with the echo of his scream came out multiple waves full of lightning. His opponent, who was totally calm against the attack of the young man, opened a black portal next to him, as if it were a black hole and the attack directed towards him was totally consumed by the open vortex and without standing still, La'Parca opened another number of portals, from which putrefying hands emerged, carrying a lot of black magic to expel it like lightning towards his opponents "Behold the power of my ability "Doom"- said the ruthless monster confidently.

Tetsu put himself in front of the attack to act as a shield, turning the skin of his arms into hard metal scales in order to use them to deflect the direction of the beams directed towards them, managing to avoid being damaged by them causing them to impact in different places of the area -An annoying technique, but weak for my power- he reproached his opponent in the face. Following this attack, Light stepped forward and raising his two arms covered in electricity exclaimed - Lightning rain! – causing them to begin to fall from the clouds surrounding the island, which turned black and filled with discharges, multiple lightning bolts around the monster. Without feeling any fear, he simply summoned another number of portals which were able to suck out every bolt of lightning that was about to hit him. Taking advantage of the fact that I was distracted, Tetsu quickly moved behind his opponent to attack him "It seems that your attention only works for one enemy at a time" he said confidently, however, his opponent replied "You have to have a very absurd way of thinking to think that way" to which, the scythe he was carrying, moved on its own to attack Tetsu, who could barely block the attack with his arm covered in metal scales.

- How were you able to predict my attack? - the young man wondered with great fear to which the villain replied - because apart from being slow, they are clumsy little humans, as guardian of corrupted souls, I have a good vision around me - the burlesque tone of the monster made the young teens angry every time he spoke, it was then that Light had an idea and on the battlefield he approached his brother.

-Light: Tetsu, I'll use an attack that can be directed in multiple directions, to be precise, it will be 4 lightning bolts charged with electricity.

-Tetsu: I imagine you mention it to me because you have something in mind.

-Light: I need you to take a good look at my attack and produce a steel thin enough to work as a reflector in directions where the redirected beams bounce off the next metal.

-Tetsu: In that case... it's better to go around it, right? Once I find that your attacks are in a nearby radius, I'll create multiple layers of reflectors.

-Light: Let's go!

And as planned, Light charged a huge sphere containing pure electricity, but before ejecting it, he closed his fist so that the beam would split into small electrical wires that moved in different directions. Tetsu observing the direction of these, made steel walls so thin that the reflection of his forehead could be noticed, in the direction of the beams so that they bounced in the direction of the monster. Very confident, he created more vortexes for them to swallow the attacks, but he did not count on Tetsu, one of his opponents, to create more metal walls that would function as reflectors in front of his portals so that the beams would not be swallowed but rather, they would continue to bounce and in this way, the young man created a good amount of metal walls until his opponent was totally surrounded.

-La'Parca: A somewhat interesting tactic... I have been surrounded by these walls and do not know the exact direction of their attack.

-Tetsu: Trusting yourself too much makes you predictable, my reflectors have a way too hard surface for you to cut them.

-La'Parca: Do you think you've really managed to even touch me with this?

It was then that the cunning monster used its scythe to defend itself, causing it to spin at an enormous speed around it, absorbing the beams of electricity that were about to hit it.

-La'Parca: It has been somewhat clever... but my scythe can see everything.

-Light: Now is when you look totally helpless, you spawn of hell.

With all his force, Light impacted the surface with his fist charged with electric energy, causing the powerful blow, apart from breaking the floor, to spread electric waves across the battlefield - Metal rods, do your job! - Tetsu exclaimed, who caused the sticks to appear from the ground under the La'Parca, piercing it at various points of his body, However, this being being able to become intangible, he only needed to stay still for the rods to pierce him without having any contact with him - His movements continue to have no effect - he told them with disappointment, however, he did not expect that nature would be able to harm him - You know? Steel can work as a conductor of electricity," said Light, who had previously made a large amount of charge circulate through the ground by making it travel through the rods until it came into contact with his enemy, causing him to suffer a huge electrical charge.

Hurt, but still confident, the monster continued to use its scythe to attack causing it to spin at an enormous speed heading against Tetsu, who barely managed to observe the movement and at the moment of the collision against his shoulder, he turned his skin into steel, coming out of the attack just barely hurt.

-Light: Tetsu! Are you all right?

-Tetsu: Don't worry, I managed to shield my skin then, but it was able to break my surface because of the speed at which it was spinning, it really is strong.

-La'Parca: And this is just the beginning, little humans.

Suddenly, a necklace created of dark magic appeared around Light's neck, the young man having no idea what it was did not think of some way to take it off other than struggle. The specter pronounced "Agony" making Light suddenly feel enormous pain throughout his body without being able to explain where such unbearable pain came from.

-Tetsu: Light! Is something wrong!?

-La'Parca: Mumumumu! Right now, he is feeling twice as much pain as I did when I received his attack.

-Tetsu: Your damn spells I'm getting sick of them, you shit-spawn.

-Light: A-Ahg... He is able to use this spell whenever he is damaged... but we must defeat him in the same way... There is no turning back.

-La'Parca: I see... So, they prefer to continue being stubborn.

-Light: I'll make you pay for that one, you bastard, and also for the death of mom and my brother!

-Tetsu: Light Use your electric rumble once again!

Without thinking twice, the young man shouted with all his might once more, causing another wave charged with electricity to come out aimed at the monster "I have mentioned before that your techniques do not work against me" he repeated in a mocking tone, however, when opening the portal to absorb his opponent's attack, quickly, Tetsu ran to get in front of the roar, turning his entire body into metal scales so that the lightning bolts of the attack would begin to hover throughout his body, electrically charging himself.

-La'Parca: Interesting... They continue to apply the logic of their previous move, this time being applied to a body of pure metal, you have turned yourself into steel to absorb all the energy of that attack.

-Tetsu: Well, you are really very observant, when you have contact with a metal object that is charged with electricity, it works as a conductor as well, you end up being electrocuted, but it is not the case when you become the perfect conductor, Now you'll feel what it's like to be hurt, you damn scum!

Then Tetsu lunged at La'Parca, giving an accurate punch against it, which, when trying to become intangible, the electricity covered him completely, making him feel the complete discharge and without wasting the opportunity, the young man directed another punch towards his opponent's skull, fracturing the left side of it.

"Very smart, my young enemy, but it's my turn to return the favor" said the skull with an angry tone to which he created a number of portals from which walking flames came out, as if they had a life of their own these were directed against Tetsu making him be heavy, I did not have time to react against the speed of these. Then, they began to fill the metal body, causing it to suffer terrible burns and be very injured by the attack, being forced to hide its metal scales so that the attack of the flames would stop.

-Light: Tetsu! Curses, he has forced him to return to his base state so as not to be totally consumed by the flames.

-Tetsu: Ahg...! it really was a terrible attack... I have burns all over my body and it hurts to move...

-Light: Do you think you are able to continue?

-Tetsu: For now... Let me recover, I'll try to heal my wounds somehow...

-Light: Understood...

-La'Parca: Being a shield will make it more difficult for you to fight, young Moonrider... How about a little game? Demon Emblem!

With such words pronounced, La'Parca caused multiple strange seals to spawn on Light's body, leaving him confused. At the same time, two eyes with strange wings appeared.

"Alright, these are the rules of the game, little boy... These eyes will work like arrows, they will shoot beams of magic and if they manage to hit the seals that you contain in the body, the limb represented by such a seal will be completely detached from your body, so you must destroy these eyes to avoid dying. However, if you destroy these eyes, the damage taken towards them will be transferred to your partner. Mumumumu!".

That said, the eyes began to shoot at Light very quickly, causing him to have no time to react to them, but at the moment of being hit, a metal wall appeared in front of him, Tetsu had used his powers to protect his brother - Remember... that you are not finished with me yet! Light, no matter the consequences, do what it takes to win! – Tetsu uttered to encourage his companion. Light, upon hearing such words was forced to use one of his greatest techniques that required a huge magical effort to achieve - Tetsu, create small pieces of metal all over the field, it's time for me to use my greatest attack! – exclaimed the young man desperately.

As his partner asked him, Tetsu used his powers to scatter small pieces of metal around the field, at the same time Light ran and used his powers to be able to convert his entire body into electrical energy, jumping on different pieces of metal to avoid being seen -Interesting Really splendid! Their tactics have my full attention! - exclaimed the monster excitedly, while Light quickly appeared behind the eyes to use claws produced from the same electricity and destroy them so he managed to eliminate the two triggers without problems. Once eliminated, Light returned to his physical form very tired from the energy drain.

-La'Parca: Mumumumu…you have managed to eliminate your enemies... however, it's time for your partner to pay the price.

-Light: I'm sure that Tetsu is capable of withstanding whatever you have prepared.

Then, when Tetsu felt a horrible pain on his face, in a few moments, Light could see how surprisingly, his brother's eyes jumped out of his beads, leaving him completely blind and spilling a huge amount of blood which came out of the holes of his eyes - Aaaaahg! M-My eyes! I've lost my eyes, I can't see anything! W-What is happening? - pronounced the poor young man with a trembling voice and full of pain, while his brother, who was alone watching without being able to react to the event, tried to make some movement. Due to the distraction of the moment, Light had forgotten that his seals had not disappeared from his body, so from a small portal opened by La'Parca a bolt of black magic came out. Light was able to witness the movement, but due to the shock he was unable to completely dodge the attack, causing it to impact with the seal he contained in his left hand, making it detach from his body at the moment of touch, releasing a huge stream of blood when he lost his limb and the young man screamed from the horrible pain he felt at the moment.

"Y-Y-You're... a damn monster... I swear f-for Dreik's life... and the sight of T-Tetsu that I am going to finish you off... W-Wretch!"

Full of pain, Light decided not to give up the fight and raised a huge charge of electricity in the shape of a very large dragon – That which I can observe... Is it a dragon? – he pronounced La'Parca with a trembling voice...
