28 Time to meet my end. (1/2)

”Now that the Shadow is also here...we will be able to fend off the Demon Kings right, my Lady?” Allen looked around her surroundings as she protected Eshima's back.

”I don't think so, Allen.” Eshima had a grim face as she realized many facts.

Even with the Shadow's arrival, the guardians were still at a disadvantage. They were fighting Five vs Seven. Shadow travelled tens of thousands of miles for hours and was exhausted of energy, which left him unable to open a portal anymore or fight efficiently. Reo and the others have been fighting for a long time and were only in a defensive mode as they exhausted their remaining energy.

Eshima looked towards the direction where Reo was supposed to be as she murmured to herself 'Please...don't do it Reo...just don't'.

A heavily exhausted Reo already lost most of his energy as he spared against the 1st and the 3rd Demon Kings. Reo panted heavily a he took a moment to sense and contemplate what was happening in all of Tristina.

Atsuhiro and Kiyoshi were covered in blood and flesh wounds as they gasped heavily while their hands were trembling unable to hold onto their Soul Gear anymore.

”You okay?...can you still fight?” Atsuhiro heaved a heavy breathe as he supported himself against Kiyoshi's back.

”....Who...do...yo..u...think you are...talking to?” It was clear for Atsuhiro that Kiyoshi won't be able to hold himself much longer as he heard his breaking words.

Shadow and Evelyn attacked together as they pushed the 2nd and the 4th Demon Kings back to the place where Reo and the others were fighting the Demon Kings.

”They won't hold up much longer...” A voice crept into Shadow's mind as he stroke the space in front of him with his Demon Sword releasing a crescent with blue flame towards the 2nd Demon King. This was the voice of the 7th Dragon spirit a.k.a Shadow Dragon.

”I know...” Shadow answered as he continued to push the 2nd Demon King back. Shadow already knew where the situation would lead them towards.

With a sharp kick to the gut, the 2nd Demon King was sent flying only to hit the 3rd Demon King as he ejected. The 2nd and the 3rd Demon Kings hit a 3 story building and were buried in debris.

”We have to seal them up Sha...” Reo gulped down the words in his mouth as he sensed something he never wanted to sense his entire life.

”Looks like they were successful...haha..Did you really think that all your protectors were loyal?...Hehehe...want to know a secret, Divine guardian?...It was one of your protectors who helped in the return of all seven of us at the same time along with our armies.” The 1st Demon King laughed like a psychopath as he stood idly waiting to witness what Reo's reaction would be.

Reo turned towards the south of Tristina with wide eyes filling with tears.

”My...lady...” Allen turned to face Eshima who had a Lance forced through her gut by a Rank-S Protector, Akio.
