49 Operation Save Pesti: Day 1 - Figh (2/2)

”Well, you're not the only one with a book.” The freak-face smirked when he quickly recovered.

He stood a few paces back and clapped his hands in a prayer. Alien words rushed out of his mouth. The light surrounding him dimmed into a sinister darkness. I felt a black energy reach for my heart in the form of b.a.l.l.s.

”FAMINE, LIKE, DON'T LET IT TOUCH YOU!”

_”Is this how you greet the darkness, Famine? Didn't I give you the name of your light?”_ Shuso's voice and memory soothed my immediate fears.

I instantly clapped my hands in prayer and formed a five pointed star in my mind with the word, ”Albion.”

White fire countered the black ball energy attacks that almost struck my face.

My hands moved and danced about to manipulate the shape of a five pointed star in the air.

I calmly focused on Aidoneus's face, noticing a true expression from him for the first time. Annoyance.

The star raced for the man, countering his back ball attacks. It unravelled to form swords that stabbed his shoulders and sides, pinning him to the ground.

Black energy swirled about my fingers as the Power of Null began to form within me.

”Hahaha! There it is! That almighty power of yours.” Aidoneus's cackled with blood dripping out from the sides of his mouth. His eyes l.u.s.ted after the power swirling about my hands.

”DO IT! SHOW ME THAT FEARSOME POWER!”

”Your wish I will comply.” A deep voice came out of my mouth. At the back of my head, I realised the voice belonged to the Black Rider. ”Everything comes to null.”

”NO! DON'T YOU DARE!” Death's voice broke through my trance. ”You will lose yourself.”

”Ugh!” I reigned in my power and replaced it with my guns.

I stepped up before Aidoneus and pressed the barrel to his smug forehead.

The freak laughed and muttered a spell that made him disappear.

_”Famine”_

I turned to face the Baleful Rider who had stopped fighting my brothers. He rode a few paces and stopped before me with a gauntlet finger pointed towards my head.

-”You're next.”_ The rider said before disappearing.

Time resumed as well as normality of day.

I joined my brothers who were panting for breath. After a while, I realised Jensen and Wilfred weren't the only knights in the area.
