Burning Soul - Chapter 149

As the fight between Arlo and Nuae intensified, Nuae was more than capable enough to keep up.

Confident in his decision, Duvrion looked around if there was anything he needed to do himself.

Looking at his people fighting back he was taken back a bit, his people were fighting in his stead with the enemy. Fiercely.

“Get going Duvrion,

We got this! They might need you more!” Lumiere who wasn’t that far from them yelled while taking on one of the knights,

“Yeah, don’t you sense something off! Get going!

We got this!” Dimitri patted him still figure from the back pushing him.

“Everyone!

Sure, I’ll get going!” Saying this he headed to the back of the palace from where everyone could sense an awful fight.

‘I wonder what the hell is going on there!’ as all the magic was still sealed within the barrier, he had no other way but to run there.

.

On the other side,

“What is taking long Arch!” Ersa’s calm tone had switched to a bit irritating one, she knew they had not much time left.

“Hell, he’s uncalculated trouble, I’m sure the upper ones would have had an easy time dealing!” He replied with a hint of disappointment.

“What do you mean by that!

Do you think I’m incapable?” The air suddenly turned cold,

“Move!” As she enchanted, Arch was swept aside clean.

“You,

There, I’ll take you on!” She pointed towards Theo, “While I deal with him, take the opportunity to grab what we came for!” She ordered Arch in a dominating tone.

‘This is bad, I’m left with no energy!

If he attacked me, I’d have no way of evading!’ Aeneas showed a clear sign of worry, but the worry was all he could do, he had exhausted all his mana and without his powers, he was nothing but dead meat to Arch.

“With pleasure!” Arch leapt and jumped right after him,

‘I’m done for!’ Aeneas closed his eyes while still covering little ember.

He heard a loud clang, slowly opening his eyes he was left speechless. Theo took his charge head-on,

“I knew it! He won’t let us.” Ersa who stood afar with a spell ready laughed out loud.

“AL-Arza” A huge fireball, brighter than the sun was shot at her incantation.

His reaction, nothing, Theo charged in again with engulfing himself in black flames, using his sword he split the fireball in half with great effort. The recoil was quite visible on his face. The pain that he felt was clear.

.

.

“Just a little longer!” A voice was still guiding Theodore in that damp dark place,

“How long do I have to walk, and why am I feeling this weird warmth as if I’m set ablaze?”

He was confused, of course, he would be. He was only following a voice.

“A little longer kid! You want that power to you, right?

A little further we’ll find the spiritual core, all you have to do is stab it with the dagger you have and you’ll be blessed with all the power!” The voice explained,

“If what you say is wrong? What then?” Theo’s questions were never-ending.

“Don’t worry, have faith in me!” Again a pair of slender hands appeared before him touching his cheeks softly.

“Okay! Not that I have anything else to do! I hope you are dealing with the enemy!” he continued walking in that dark place while chatting with the voice he followed.

.

.

“Tch, no matter how fast I am, there’s no way for me to get past him!

His moves are abnormal!” Arch complained as Theo managed to slash his 3rd time in a row.

“Then we must deal with him first!

Corner him!” Ersa was furious now and for the first time, it was visible.

‘I never saw her like that, the kid is crazed but he’s corned a demon like that! That’s unbelievable.’

Theo didn’t wait around and headed straight to tackle Arch in close combat, his speciality. His speed was just as frightening, and it carried a great amount of momentum. Thanks to which the very first slash he landed hit Arch so hard he flew a couple of feet back in the air, though he didn’t wait and charged yet again moving his body midair,

“I won’t let you!” Ersa wasn’t slacking either as she chanted multiple strikes, but he managed to dodge them all catching up to Archelaus in a short.

“Crap!” He could only curse at his sudden moves,

Theo used the same skill from before to slash through Arch and charge on Ersa, it happened so quick Arch couldn’t even see, just like before.

“Now I see!” Though Ersa had a funny look on her face. She countered his move in ease.

“I get it now! The way you can use that skill, it was so easy and yet I missed?

Not acceptable of someone of my position!” She spawned Arch again by her side.

“What you got on him? He’s like a monster who can slip through time!” Arch complained in an irritating tone.

“You are correct, he really can slip through time!

I assume not a lot but, the gap is significant!” She noted,

Theo who stood a little farther gazed at both with his empty eyes,

“He’s running low on time and so do we!” Arch commented as he noticed Theo getting sluggish and his aura fading faintly over time.

“Let’s end this!” He jumped in again, Theo did the same and reached to him with his frightening speed.

But this time it was different, Arch countered his move, by calculating when he’ll hit the skill and slowing abruptly. The moment Theo used the skill, instead of going through he appeared right before him,

“Gotcha!” Arch prepared a stance and slashed on him the moment he appeared.

Before Theo could dodge it, the sword hit him, slashing through the flesh on his hand, cutting it clean off!

In that split second where Theo had an upper hand, he not only lost the advantage but his arm as well!

His right arm was cut off cleanly from his body!

The pain directly channelled through towards Ember, and it was visible as she screamed in excruciating pain. The scream nearly shook Aeneas to the bones as he couldn’t see what happened to Theo from where he was.

But a moment later, ha got a clear look at the falling flesh on the ground.. Arch charged through with a smug face after slashing through, he didn’t let the momentum fade and charged onto Aeneas while Theo stood motionless with one arm lose.
