Forsaken Worlds - Chapter 16 Resolution

The being then looked at his hand, holding the still beating heart, and crushed it, in the next second Aima’s once beautiful eyes lost their luster and her body began to crumble and turn to dust.

“Thankyou… fo…r…eve…ry..thin..g.” Just before she was impaled she had moved all of her power from her soul fire into Foren and Noku.

Because of this Foren’s wound quickly began to heal and as a result his soul fire gained back its vigor able to hold its own against the two invading souls.

At the same time within their minds the connection between them and Aima snapped, their once powerful three soul orbit turning into a binary one once more.

“AIMA!!!!” Grief stricken their voices overlapping both Foren and Noku screamed at the top of their lungs, not a moment later Foren was charging towards the being, while Noku charged a massive fire ball over his head, his soul fire wavering under the pressure of it.

“DIE!” They screamed, their eyes blood shot, their voices hoarse.

Sun Fall! Infernal Soul Blades!

Despite the massive fire ball and the blades that could cut through steel like paper the being did not move and simply stood their, and in the next second a small almost unnoticeable barrier appeared around its body about as thick as a cicadas wing.

“BOOM! HONG!” A breathe later the attacks landed, Noku’s attack scorched the ground leaving a massive crater in its place while Foren’s attack left blade trails in the ground from its force.

“KAKAKAKA, Very good, very good, it’s been such a long time since I last felt such danger, but ultimately you could not harm me, maybe if you had more time to grow you would have a chance, but you are doomed to never get that opportunity.” From the smoke a pair of purple eyes emerged staring at the two, coils of purple energy wrapped around itself the being waved its hand and all the dust surrounding it disappeared.

But in the next second its face paled and it set up over twenty barriers behind it.

“KACHA!KACHA!KA…!” The crisp sound of them all breaking in quick succession then sounded out, the being face turning white as a sheet.

“I WILL NOT DIE LIKE THIS!” It screamed, and all around around it phantoms appeared rushing forwards towards a speeding shadow raising his staff to defend, but it was already too late.

“You have harmed those I had my eyes on, and for this you’ll pay with your life.” The pair of silver eyes bored into its own purple eyes instilling a bone chilling fear into its mind.

“Kacha.” In the next second the phantoms that were but an inch away from him disappeared and the beings body crumbled falling out of the sky, and turning to dust by the time it touched the ground.

“PLEASE SAVE AIMA!” Seeing this creature able to so easily defeat the purple eyed being Foren staggered to his feet with the withered bone used as Aima’s home in his hands screaming and crying.

“PLEASE!” Noku yelled from he ground, his body completely out of power all he could do was yell his voice cracked streams of tears falling.

“I am afraid, that is neigh impossible, so sleep and recover, all will be explained soon.” Saying so the silver eyed black winged man in the sky disappeared and reappeared beside the two.

Just as soon as he reappeared beside them sleep overtook their minds forcing them into unconsciousness.

“Honestly, children these days are so passionate.” The being said, looking towards the battle field he raised his arm and the entire area was cleaned up, a mountain of bones heaped all onto one side.

When Noku and Foren had gone all out the shock wave from their rage fueled attacks reached all around the battle field killing everything indiscriminately.

The only things to survive the shock wave were one of the wolves, a pure white coated wolf hiding behind a barley holding ice wall, and Foren’s first golem, though once five meters in height it was now barley alive, about to die at any moment, of the people who helped them the only one to survive was Diane, the pressure from both the silver being and purple eyes being was too much for the others, only she managed to barely handle it, hiding with the white wolf when the flaming shock wave arrived her body slumped over the white wolves protecting it.

Making a grabbing motion the staff of the purple eyes being fly into his hand inspecting it for a moment he shrugged throwing it behind him levitating it their, using his other hand he grabbed out again this time the heavily injured white wolf was knocked out and the golem was also put under with Diane already unconscious, they were pulled towards the being and along with Foren and Noku began to levitate in the air following behind himself as he left.

Soon after he left attracted by the smell of blood beasts of all kinds moved into the town and turned it into a frenzy, destroying everything, though staying away from the mansion for some reason, as though scared to tread their.

Although several miles away by then the silver being had a slight smile on its lips.

“Aima…Aima…!” The bone, Aima, never left Foren’s hand even unconscious he still held it strongly in his embrace, his voice and Noku’s overlapping, constantly saying her name over and over.

Within their minds their two soul fires were fighting fiercely with the other two’s souls, at this point both Foren and Noku’s souls had gone through yet another change.

Noku’s wolf image had grown stronger, faster and smarter ripping through the enemies defenses single handedly.

Foren’s sentries had increased in both number and fire power shredding through the waves of enemy defenses giving them no chance to counter attack, however both the sentries and the wolf image seemed to be lacking in something despite the upgrade.

Unbeknownst to either of the two however, small specs of mist had integrated with each attack and worked as defense for the sentries and the wolf image floating around each quietly and near invisibly like a barrier.

After leisurely flying for a half an hour the silver being stopped at the now empty dump standing above the blood pool he took Noku and Foren, placing them in the pool of blood.

“From here on out weather you survive or not is up to you, should you survive I’ll take you in, should you fail then here’s were you rest.” Saying so the silver being let out a black pulse from his wings, a barrier then appeared around the dump completely shattering the previous one in an instant.

Within their minds the two fires were on the verge of being taken down when the being voice echoed into their minds, and then the two fires, Marx and Kurun, suddenly exploded with extreme power tipping the scales in their favor.

Outside, the blood pool was slowly being absorbed by their bodies through their pores forging their bodies into more powerful versions.

Light blood red tattoos were slowly being inscribed onto their fur and skin respectively.

On Noku the tattoos formed a blazing fire on his fore head, the blood being absorbed causing the tattoo to deepen in color while also inscribing other strange yet beautiful patterns onto him, at the same time his previously fire red fur was turning into a different color, a white color, a color reminiscent of pure fire.

At the same time on Foren’s chest the tattoo of vines encircling two guarding golems with sword in their hands pointing down wards like statues of old when the knights would stand guard of their king formed, their detail astounding.

One thing however connected both Foren and Noku’s tattoos, and that is that an extremely visible heart with a bone through it, laid imprinted in the center of both their emblems the image being a very dark shade of red.

Seeing this the silver beings eyes widened quiet a bit shaking his head as he mourned for these two within his heart, only he knew what that tattoo meant.

“Youths are truly so passionate.” He whispered his voice showing its sympathy.

Within their minds they were fighting a losing fight, after the two had gotten a significant power up the pressure had increased incredibly, at this point many sentries had been broken and the wolf image was injured with several marks all over its body.

A few minutes later the situation only worsened with the wolf image on the verge, completely surrounded and the sentries around it trying desperately to fight the enemies off, clearly they were powerful enough to fight still but not able to exert their full power.

At this point the silver eyes being could clearly tell that something was wrong, putting one hand onto each of their heads he closed his eyes and took a look, opening his eyes understanding flashed in his eyes.

They no longer want to live.

“You youths are so stupid.” He said, now putting his hand back onto their heads.

“The two of you, so you want to die is it? And what! give up all hope of resurrecting her, Aima, she sacrificed herself for you and this is what you do?!?! What kind of brothers are you! I have heard tale of a potion capable of resurrecting souls in higher worlds and yet you think its so out of reach that you wish to die!?!?! You selfish bastards!” The being then shouted into their minds quaking everything within threatening to fall apart, yet what he said were his own thoughts.

Within their minds both Noku and Foren’s powers skyrocketed, as though having felt their masters resolve to live the fires both went into overdrive, Foren’s fire producing sentries every second while Noku’s wolf image flashed and attacked with a ferocity it never had before, the feeling of missing something disappeared the two of them working near perfectly together exerting their full power.

Sending in his freshly made sentries Foren flanked the group that had surrounded Noku’s wolf figure tearing into their ranks and annihilating the entire contingent.

With this the battle soon turned once more, Marx and Kurun now being pushed back severely, outside the suction of the blood pool increased by several times the tattoos becoming more vibrant for every passing second.

Surrounding the two soul fires Foren fired all at once bombarding them from all sides, Noku’s image then moved in for the kill from the darkness,using the sentries as foot holds he rushed at Kuruns weakened soul biting down and ripping it to pieces using his claws.

Meanwhile Foren changed focus and fired everything at Marx, shattering the barriers his soul fire had put up and in quick succession, soon bombarding the actual fire and putting innumerable holes through it turning it into a pin cushion.

Just like this the two souls were absorbed into Foren and Noku respectively, and at the same time the blood pool was completely dried up.

That was enough for ten people to soak in! The silver being thought, thinking that maybe he gave them a tad bit too much encouragement.

After absorbing the fires Foren’s fire enlarged by one fold, his sentries now spread out not just around himself but also around Noku’s fire, while Noku’s wolf image had become much more powerful, its fur sleek and body a fold bigger its power would have also increased by a fold.

“Look like the two of you are at the peak of the first transformation, not bad.” The being said looking towards the two who were now waking up.
