27 Fighting against the odds. (2/2)

Reo saw what was happening to the S-Rankers and signalled Evelyn to go help them. Evelyn immediately withdrew only to be followed by the 4th Demon King who was immediately obstructed by a flying energized Spear, this was the Soul gear of the 6th guardian, Kiyoshi.

”She's got other things to handle why don't you come and help out your buddy, the 6th Demon King here.” Kiyoshi said as he pointed the Soul Spear which zapped back into his hands towards the 6th Demon King. Atsuhiko and Kiyoshi backed against each other and took on the three Demon Kings at once.

Kuro ejected into the air as a sharp kick landed on his gut only to be caught by Evelyn who slowly descended as she let Kuro on the ground. She glared at the 2nd and the 4th demon king who were blazing with dark red energy as she said...

”Stop picking on Old man Kuro...” Evelyn signalled the other S-Ranks to help out Kuro as she slid towards the 4th Demon king with an open claw which had Golden Claws fixed to her palm, this was her Soul gear-Fang, they were small in size but were capable enough to shoot dense energy bullets which could turn even a diamond into pieces.

As Reo exhausted half his energy he witnessed that the 2nd Demon King's army was no longer where it was supposed to be. The 2nd Demon King's army marched towards the citizens as the armies of the other Demon kings still struggled to walk and were being constantly attacked by the Dragon spirits. Evelyn shot a volley of bullets which travelled at a great speed but only to be dodged by the 4th Demon King.

Even with the help of Evelyn, the two Demon Kings were too powerful to be held back and the 2nd Demon King's army marched at them at a slow pace as they were drained of energy all these years. It wasn't long after that, everyone in Tristina heard the sound of a thunder falling above them. The barrier broke as it made a sound of a breaking glass. A pitch black sword with a hilt which looked like a dragon being burnt was etched into the ground as it cracked the surroundings a bit.

”I don't like it when someone messes with my uncle or my girlfriend. Arnus Edios...don't worry about your Demon Sword, I have been putting it to good use and made sure no one had the liberty to even touch it.” A darkly dressed man with a mask said as he balanced himself on the hilt of the sword etched into the ground while he stole a peak at the 5th guardian, Evelyn.

”You and your dramatic entrances...” Evelyn walked to his side with a smile as she looked at him. The masked man was Shadow, The 7th Guardian.

Even with the barrier broken now, none of the protectors had any energy left nor were they given enough time by the Demon Kings to open a portal. They had no choice but to fight on their own without any reinforcements. The 2nd Demon King's army marched past the Shadow and Evelyn as they engaged themselves with the Demon Kings.

All the protectors of Tristina unsheathed their weapons as they held their stand against the 2nd Demon king's army. As the Demon army approached the protectors, a fierce wind infused with energy pushed them a step back. This was created by Eshima and Allen who made their way to the front.

”Time to run towards the capital as the barrier is broken now, I am sure the Commander or the Prime Minister would come for your rescue...” Eshima looked at the Demon Army in front of her as she summoned an Eagle spirit and her Soul Staff - Bo Staff.

”None of the citizens are supposed to get hurt...Is that understood!?” Eshima shouted fiercely as she charged ahead accompanied by Allen and followed by the protectors who shouted ”Understood, My Lady...!”
