Chapter 4: Desolation

  “FALL BACK AND TAKE DEFENSIVE POSITIONS!!!” A Soul Finder squad leader would scream out these desperate orders in the chaos of the battlefield. A hundred feet in the air a figure with long blue religious robes would be floating in the air would say, “Stop resisting Soul Finders. My mighty Lord Niou wants these islands so just hand them over and we’ll spare whatever remains of your forces.” As he said this thousands of troops in red military attire would rush towards the defenders. “FIRE AT WILL! DON’T LET ANYONE GET PAST US!” The same Soul Finder squad leader would scream this while firing off his own Soul Energy powered rifle.

  The Soul Finders even though outrageously outnumbered five to one were holding their ground. Seeing this the robed figure would fly towards the Soul Finder’s base on the island to send an attack towards it but then Lucas also known as the Earth Dancer would stomp on the ground and send three high speed boulders towards the figure who dodge all of them. Lucas would then say,“Why don’t we take this somewhere else?!” The robed figure wouldn’t utter a single word as he looked at Lucas. However what they did do was spawn in a battle axe with black lightning surrounding it in their right hand and rush down towards Lucas. “A Soul Bound Weapon?!”

  Lucas would say this as he stomped and spinned on the floor and after that he shouted, “Earth Dance: Dragon Head!” This would cause a stone dragon’s head to burst from the ground and charge at the figure with Lucas on its head.

  The figure would grasp the battle axe's handle intensely and slam the axe into the dragon causing a shockwave to emanate from this. The figure would then spin with the axe gaining momentum to cleave Lucas’s head off but Lucas would push his foot backwards causing a stone pillar to come out from the stone dragon body and curve towards the robed person. The pillar would slam into the person’s battle axe which would cause the pillar to break in many directions. Lucas noticing this would fully send the dragon attack towards the figure and jump towards the shattered pieces and then landing on the pieces of stone. The figure would see the attack and wind up his axe and destroy the attack in an instant. After doing this they would say “Hmph… That was very lackluster for a freedom type Seele…” “Earth Dance: Stone Pellets.” Lucas would say this as he fired off some of the stones he was standing on towards the figure which again the person dodged with ease. Lucas would land onto the ground while looking at the hooded person.

  They both eyed each other as the figure rushed towards him with his battle axe and swung it towards Lucas who dodged the swing but got stung by the lightning. This would cause Lucas to say, “What the hell? Why did that sting so much?!” After saying this he would step back to avoid several swings from the figure but the black lightning kept stinging him. After barely dodging another attack Lucas stomped the floor which caused a sharp pillar to fly up at the figure's head which they blocked but then a sharp stone spear would precise through the person's left shoulder and enter into Lucas’s hand. After doing that Lucas said while chuckling,“That was meant to kill you…” After saying this Lucas stomped on the ground sending multiple stone bullets at the person and charging at them with his spear. The two of them would clash their weapons, sending stone sharnel everywhere. The two would go back and forth until the black electricity reached out to Lucas and shocked him so much causing steam to emanate from his body and the figure got ready for a follow up. “Clang!” A stone wall would rise from the ground to block the swing as Lucas said, “I’m going to have to take this seriously… Welp! LETS GO!” Lucas would jump in the air and slam both of his feet into the ground while shouting,

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  “Earth Dancer:PRIMORDIAL DANCE!” When he said this several stone pillars would swirl around him and then lunge at his opponent at such speeds a sonic boom would happen. “Ack!” The pillars rammed into the person’s body breaking a couple bones in their body and ripping up his robe. This caused Lucas to ask, “What’s your name?” In response the person said,“Since you’ve survived this long, I am ArchBishop Hingabe. The right hand man of the Pillar Of Innovation and the one who will take these bases.” After saying this Hingabe shouted out, “Outreach:Shadowing Fury!” When he said this black lighting quickly rushed towards Lucas and stung him intensely pushing him back slightly. Hingabe rushed at him with his axe attempting to delimb his arm but a small pillar blocked it and Lucas spun around the pillar and punched Hingabe with a right hook. Then followed this up with a kick as he said,“Earth Dancer:Galeful Rush!” This caused the air between Lucas’s foot and his opponent’s chest to become pressurized and sent Hingabe back. The two would be locked in a desperate stalemate which reflected the state of the larger battle as both sides had taken considerable losses. After their latest clash Lucas could feel his knee lock due to the excessive electricity flowing through his system. Hingabe would see this and slice both of Lucas’s arms off before Lucas could react stunning Lucas. Then afterwards, “Ack! How did you?!” Lucas would say this after getting his chest ripped open by Hingabe’s axe. While seeing Lucas bleeding Hingabe said,“You were fresher than most fish but neither the less you still were defeated by me. Bye.”

  He would lift up his axe but when he did this several people said,“FIRE ON THE AXE HANDLER DON’T LET HIM HURT LUCAS!!!” After this was said several Soul Energy bullets which were fired by Lucas’s Soul Finder squad crashed into Hingabe’s back “So it seems you have backup. How convenient!” As soon as he was done saying this he would then say,“Outreach:Synchronized Slaughter.” As this sentence was uttered seven streams of black lightning would shoot out from his axe and rush towards the Soul Finders and hit them causing them to spontaneously explode in an instant. Hingabe would turn back to see Lucas with a shocked face while muttering incoherently. “It’s impressive you didn’t die when my lighting bolts hit you. Probably because of your Soul Energy refinery. However when he set his sights on Lucas's last location he wasn’t there anymore. He would start looking around until there was a spike of Soul Energy coming from below him. “BOOM!!!” The ground under Hingabe would erode and explode and Lucas bursted from the ground with two rocky arms with white energy flowing through them. Then in a rage Lucas would scream,“YOU’LL PAY FOR THEIR DEATHS!! NOT A SINGLE DEATH WILL GO UNPUNISHED!!” Lucas would get ready to scream an attack but his arms would shatter after being hit by an axe and Hingabe would then appear in front of his face with an empty and cold face and say, “Outreach:Crushing Conquest.” while swinging his axe once again.

  “CRACKLE!!!” About 150 meters away from the battle between Lucas and Hingabe the Soul Finders continued their defensive. “CAPTAIN CAPUT! HOW IS THE SITUATION OVER THERE?!” This was the line that CAPUT heard from his earpiece as he was crouched underneath some rubble he was using as cover. In response Caput shouted, “SITUATION IS REACHING A CRITICAL POINT! WE’VE TAKEN SEVERE CASUALTIES AND WE ARE LOSING GROUND AND LUCAS’S STATE IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN!” Before he could get back a response the shockwave that came from Hingabe’s attack blasted him away from his cover and destroyed the earpiece.

  “Ughhh…” Lucas would utter this sentence with his head ringing and bleeding. He would look for his arms but they wouldn’t be there. Instead there would be little stone shards growing from his shoulders. Hingabe seeing that Lucas was still alive would say, “So you survived that too?! I’m kinda impressed!” Hingabe would wind his axe back with black electricity crackling around it. “Aero Hand:Youthful Drag!” Caput would yell this out causing an invisible hand to grab Lucas and drag him towards himself. Hingabe would smile seeing this and out of excitement as he said,“You’re up next huh?! Well let’s see what you’re made up of!” While saying this the black lightning was going haywire around Hingabe. “Damn Lucas so you really can’t help me can you?” Caput would look at Hingabe while saying this as he readied himself for the most intense death battle of his life.
