Put Out My Fire - Chapter 151

Agatha was panting as she flew up in the sky with her staff. She had exhausted most of her energy, repeatedly killing the souls that continued to rise again and again. Her brows drew together, seeing how the ashes were forming the figures of the escapees from hell.

She looked up to the sky and pleaded, “Son, hurry. We need you.”

Feeling her strength draining away, she gathered up the remaining of her power to eradicate the same forces of Hades. She needed to do it one more time before deciding to rest.

Chanting a few words, more of her snakes came out of nowhere and they quickly ran across the battleground to turn the enemies back into dust!

Agatha’s power was indeed supreme. She was very effective in taking down her rivals. The only problem was, the souls did not really die. Her attacks, altogether, merely gave the masters almost an hour of rest.

From behind the enemy lines, Hades came out of Khalid’s body. He laughed thoroughly, seeing how the white witch’s energy had started to deplete. There was no killing him and his soldiers!

“What did I tell you, Khalid! My soldiers are doing you a favor!” Told Hades with his devilish eyes. “Now, it’s time to attack! I don’t know exactly why the wielder of the soul slayer blade has not yet awakened. I don’t think this is normal, but still. For sure he will be back as a soul to attempt to kill us all.”

“Since the white witch is retreating, it’s time for you to lead the strike!” Suggested Hades eagerly! “For as long as we can take out the soul slayer blade from his body, the wielder of the sword will not fully awaken!”

“Okay! I’ll take care of it!” Replied Khalid. He also saw how Agatha had grown tired. He knew it was now his turn to retaliate.

With conviction, he announced, “Prepare to die!”

Khalid had raised in his palms the power of the six crystals once more, ready to attack, but in that very second, he felt a strange warmth coming from behind him. He immediately shifted himself to another space to see who dared strike at him.

“Haaaahhhh!” It was from Amanda. Abasi had brought her back to fight with them. She had created two swords of fire and she was already in her phoenix form.

She went past Hades and focused only on Khalid, thrusting her fiery blades fiercely.

She blazed at him while Khalid hastily created wings of his own, activating the power of the red crystal. Amanda’s arrival came to sudden for Khalid that he panicked for a second.

In Khalid’s anger, he tried to drag Amanda to another world, generating a wormhole for her as a trap, seeing her charge at high speed.

“Amanda, watch out!” Abasi quickly pulled her back, saving her from behind sent to an uncertain place. Both he and the master of fire were drifting in the sky, facing Khalid.

The master of fire had to fight. She did not have the luxury of time to talk to her son or cry further for Christopher’s decisions. She could only hope that Akurra’s telling was the truth. She put all her focus on the future of her son, gathering all her courage, and return to fight Khalid with Abasi.

While she tried to slow down Khalid, it was a different action below them.

The attacks of the evil souls surged on the master of the wind and earth. Agatha had taken her rest with Orion and Trisha, watching over Christopher’s body.

To aid Brody and Taara, Kyle’s forces had now advanced outside of the borders, striking at the souls that would escape the wrath of the masters.

Theo also came, after hearing what happened to Christopher. it was on the grounds that Agatha explained the destiny of their son. Agatha also knew, but by the request of Christopher, like Abasi, she kept it from Amanda and most especially from Theo and Cassy.

Another hour passed. It would seem like it was a never-ending battle. Killing the evil souls from hell momentarily, only to rise again in minutes.

A few of Kyle’s soldiers became wounded and had to retreat. Brody and Taara kept at it, attacking with all their might.

From the skies, Amanda and Abasi tried to counter Khalid, with only the elements that they had, but soon they realized their powers were weak in contrast to Khalid’s. Even if Abasi had the yellow crystal within him, he will soon lose its strength in less than an hour. It would once again need to return to the original master.

After receiving several blows of wind and water, Amanda admitted that they needed all six crystal to attack against Khalid. It was too early to involve his son in the battle as Khalid was still too strong.

Even Khalid acknowledged this that he gave Amanda and Abasi a quick break. He laughed, mocking the two while they were in mid-air. He said, “Clearly, you are no match for me and I haven’t even used all my accumulated powers! All you do is evade my attacks, but you have not harmed me in any way!”

“The only way for you to even level with me is for all masters to attack me at the same time! Don’t you see?” Khalid hinted, seeing how pathetic Amanda and Abasi, looked.

“Don’t worry, Khalid, your wish will soon happen. Just you wait and see!” Revealed Absi, screaming from behind Amanda.

“You are just a scum, fronting those soldiers from hell! If it were not for them, we would have already taken you down!” Told Amanda!

“I am not a scum! I am wise, deserving of all the powers that I have!” Told Khalid. “I will live longer, take my beloved with me in an eternity of youth!”

“There are still other worlds out there – more powers than can bless life and youth! I will stop at nothing to acquire what I need!” Khalid announced before seemingly collecting his energy and preparing to throw a blast at Amanda and Abasi.

“So Cassandra is still alive?” Amanda asked with a frown. “You – kept the master of the heart alive!”

“Of course! She is still my beloved. Soon, she will understand all that I am doing and will side with me,” told Khalid. “But what do you care? Right now, I need to get the thing that matters the most.”

“Amanda, for the very last time. Tell your son to give up the sword and I will leave you in peace,” offered Khalid. “I will go back to the future and never come back, ever again.”

“I’m afraid… that is not possible!” Told Amanda. “How could we let someone so evil as you live? We will fight you till the end!”

“Khalid, the spirits will soon end your life! You’ll see!” Told Abasi, recalling how it was before when Hades died after years of internally battling the spirits.

Despite Abasi’s warning, however, Khalid only laughed. He said, “You think I don’t know that? They have been playing with me lately, but I have many lives left! And I – I have a trump card of my own.”

“It’s unfortunate that you have to say that, for with only the powers that you have, it is not enough to put me down! You may be able to for a minute or a second, but I will ascend triumphantly in this battle!” Khalid announced with certainty!

He prepared to attack, seeing Amanda and Abasi did the same, but just at that very moment, he saw a blue crystal flying past him and dwelled into Amanda’s body, shocking everyone including the master of time and space and that of the fire.

They did not know who commanded it, but Christopher’s crystal came to settle in Amanda’s body, adding to her newfound strength!

Base on their recent testing, she had four hours to use it inside her body.

“No!” said Khalid. He was already pleased when Christopher could not use his crystal since he stabbed himself, but now, seeing his crystal go to the master of fire, it shocked him.

He wrapped himself with several protective layers of shield to search for Christopher’s body and to his shock, the soul slayer had already awakened!

The battle halted for that very brief moment! Everyone turned to see Christopher’s soul stand behind his own body and holding up the soul slayer blade. It was him who ordered the spirit of water, Mahli, to temporarily live in Amanda’s body.

His frame emitted in white-blue light, his aura reflected of sanctity, blessed with the power to kill evil!

In the past few hours, he received blessings from both the guardians of heaven and hell with his plans, before his soul was sent back to Aeros and do his rightful duty. It took him a while, but he was confident the escapees from hell would no longer have their way out.

Christopher pointed out the two-meter sword forward and declared, “Live no more, you evil souls!”
