Master Of None

2080  2080. Swear On All There Is

The sudden change in mana shocked every single one of the Genesis forces. They felt the spike in chaotic manas all around. The corrupted undead monsters also reacted by becoming even more violent. Walker glanced up seeing the corrupted floating city start to shift to the side. It was proof that the battle with the last sin title holder had begun. "They will be fine. Barry is the strongest human we know. Remey is smarter than she lets on. They can win this fight." Su reassured Walker and herself. They had just set their own base safely. The corrupted undead monsters were still being fought at the wooden vine walls, but they were pushed back. The exposition in to the ruins was about to begin properly. No, the hunt for the demon lord was about to begin. "I know. I just hope that we can gain more than what I expect to happen." This wasn't cryptic or anything of the sort. The fact that the corrupted floating city would fall and most likely become worse ruins than what nature would do to it was just that, fact. But if something could be salvaged, then there was a chance that more could come out of it.

The angels might get more of their history back. There could be lost knowledge in their ruined city too. Something valuable to the entity of the Genesis alliance. Or even in the slimmest chance, they could learn more about what is driving and empowering the demon lord. Helping them fight back. "Remey, we will need to work together. Thai is a stronger demon than we have faced. We need to kill him immediately." Barry Was taking this threat as one that ended an instant death. That was just the danger and level mana that Sloth held. He was so full of mana that he would most likely cause damage in whatever he did. Yes, it would even harm him, but that was besides the point. He was controlling this entire corrupted floating city. Whether it had weapons on it that were fueled by mana or not, didn't matter. What mattered was the danger of it. All. The runes could not hold the sheer amount of mana that was within the city. That was within Sloth. If they racked and released that mana, then there was a chance that mana would erupt out. The manas that were calm and flowing as necessary would be forced to become chaotic. This was just a theory, but it made a lot of sense that this would be the case. "Wait, what will happen to all the mana that is in him?" Remey realized that there was another more dangerous potential. If they killed Sloth, then what would happen to all the mana within him. Thinking of him like a explosive potion was the best way for Remey to understand things. She could tell that if Sloth lost control he would react the same way as an explosive potion out of balance. It would react with all the mana and the air to cause an explosion that would harm whatever it was near. "The others feared me for good reason. You fear me as well. Now leave me be or I will begin showing you why there are no others left. Why no others are here to witness my curse." Sloth was becoming more and more awake as he glared at them. The mana crackling around him. Some of the elemental manas were even starting to take form nearby. The stone shaking and becoming broken due to the chaotic earth mana within him. Flames sparking in the air where the wind twirled because they were unbalanced between each other. Water condensing and then becoming mist over and over. There was even a dance between shadows that should have just been the way the light fell around the natural shadow of Sloth sitting on the throne controlling the corrupted floating city. "No, we have to take the chance. We can not allow for this demon to remain." Barry started to push his body further. Hsi mana and his skills boosting his strength. If he was going to use everything he had, then he would do it now. He would target the throne destroying it while Sloth did whatever it was he wanted. The corrupted floating city would surely be lost and so would he, but that was fine. Barry had always been ready to give everything for the people and the world. "That's still wrong." Remey clenched her fists and started to wrack her brain. "What did he promise you!? Why are you serving him!" Remey let out this desperate shout. She understood that the moment Barry acted, that it was all over. This wasn't how she normally fought. She could figure things out and use her potions or fists to win a battle. She could fight with all she had. Right now though, she was facing a potential that would be a lose lose no matter what. Mana that would go out of control killing many below her. The floating city was still right above the island for all she knew. Beyond that, they would lose Barry and most likely her own life. It would leave the Genis forces immensely weak. "Promise me? The lord promises the same he promised everyone. The removal of the titles that cursed us. The others were too foolish. They gave in to all of it. They accepted that they were nothing but tools to these curses. I will not be a fool. I slumbered and reserved my mind. Now I am acting to ensure that I gain what I have waited for." At this point, Sloth stood. The mana in the air rippled causing Remey to feel pain. Barry resisted and began twirling his ax. His steps became more intimidating while Sloth kept putting more and more pressure out. While the mana was causing Remey harm because of what she was, a dragon soul, she realized that Sloth was most likely the calmest of the sin title holders. He was not ramaging or taken over by his sin. He was just trying to manage it. "Seventy years of this. Sleeping just to ensure that I would not destroy everything around me when I yawned or when I was woken. So many things I have been unable to do in my life. I will have it all as I wish." This length of time was not short. It showed that Sloth had grown up like this. Suffered like this. 16:35

"Then why not put the world back as it should be. The demon lord used all the others as pawns. What about you? He left to go after something else. Used that fragment to go in to the elemental planes and use their mana. Who's to say that he will return for you. He had his own selfish goals." Remey's words were barely audible beyond the mana now surging around the temple. This was the reason that the demon lord had even left. This level of mana could most likely harm him too. "How else! You wish to kill me, then do so and see the results. Forget everything. Today I will die or finally be freed. That is the price I am owed!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelEnglish.net

"Sloth shouted out and Barry leaped forward with the intention to kill or destroy the throne entirely. Yet, Remey also moved. She punched out with brilliant flames on her fists. It was an unexpected attack that forced Barry to fly in to the nearest wall. She had never hit someone that hard, but right now, she had to ensure that he was pushed away. "Then follow us. We have already helped on of the sin title holders. He is resting with the grand water spirit now. They are bound and calm together. Free of their negativity and able to grow again. You can be free of it all too. We will remove that mana forced to you. We will fix it. We will fix the world." Remey's words were glared at. "I will swear on the world and all existence that this will be done. Forget the false promises the demon lord has given you. I swear as a hero title holder that I will do more than just free you from your suffering. That you will be allowed to live within Genes and experience a better life. For years and years to come." "I will swear on the lives of all I protect that I will be the one that takes the burden you hold. So sleep now and trust me." Remey's words and the chaotic mana shiver. The pledge to existence itself on her title and all that she was could not be a small thing.  …
