Last Son: Book One

Chapter 29 The Twelve Counselors: Battle Continues

"Damn... you twelve!!! Ahhh." Samael is gripping his Pterodac sword tightly as he moves swiftly toward the twelve wise counselors and gives his one hundred percent in battle. "I am a lot stronger than you think!." Samael continues to show his ability to maintain his focus on the twelve wise counselors while expressing his great anger but the twelve wise counselors provoke him and mock Samael to a higher extent. "Don't you understand—young mortal being? We're much wiser than you'll ever be." Samael chuckles, swinging his sword onto his shoulders, rushing back into battle, and tapping into the power of his Pterodac sword. With the Pterodac sword piercing through the twelve wise counselors' holy bodies, the twelve wise ones are dismayed at the outcome of Samael's retaliation. "How are you able to strike us with that sword?." The otherwise counselors spoke with grief, as they are discombobulated with that one statement. Samael strikes his sword into the ground, waving his right hand at the sword and looking at the twelve wise counselors as they fear his demeanor. Now Samael grabs hold of the crisma amulet that is around his neck, understanding what meaning it brings to him in the times it is most relevant. "What is... that—around your neck? Is it... can be?." Samael is smirking at the twelve wise counselors, mocking them as they feared him and enticing them with his words. "Can it be!?... but how? My sword is an ancient Pterodac sword. So with this darn blade—ah. It's going to finish the job." Samael quickly removed his sword from the ground, moving towards the twelve wise counselors and unleashing insufferable attacks on the twelve wise counselors but the twelve wise ones use their force barriers to extend the time as they are stargazing to change the course on the battlegrounds. Samael stabbed his sword into the ground, taking the time to breathe and he is mocking them for hiding behind their force barriers. "You twelve aren't nothing but a damn coward." One of the twelve spoke with suspicion. "Awe... we don't fear your mortal being." Samael chuckles, pointing his index finger and swearing at them. "I call... nonsense and you twelve for sure—will fear me." One of the twelve spoke out with such authority, giving them the leverage to regain the battlegrounds in their favor. The force barriers are removed, Samael quickly grabs his sword, rushing into battle and the twelve wise counselors carry on their strategy to change the outcome of the battle for their satisfaction. "We have the powers of the [great light] and you... just possess the strength of a man." Samael laughed, unveiling his Pterodac sword's true powers and the twelve wise counselors retreated once more. "...mortal man. We are impressed with your swordsmanship but you are still no match against our powerful staff." The twelve wise counselors speaking in a foreign language, lightning igniting the sky and virtue is flowing to the tip of their staffs. "Now... now you must beg for mercy—mortal man." The twelve wise counselors expressed their cheerfulness, praising the [great light] for her full blessings and Samael is standing firmly in battle position. Samael draws his eyes downward, staring at the ground and he has a vision. "You are destined to do more son of Azazel." Now Samael's vision transitions to another memory or an equivalent blood vessel pumping through his veins. "Dammit, Why am I—feeling so much pain!?." A recognizable voice but appears discreet, saying a few selective words that won't unveil the true nature of his core. "I simply come to watch... the planet deteriorating. Can you feel the world falling apart? The planet cries out for a hero." Samael uttered the words; "hero...hero...hero." Samael envisioned the end, and he lifted his head slowly. One of the twelve counselors stepped forward, struck his staff into the ground, and spoke. "Are you surrendering—young mortal being? He is laying down his sword—eleven wise Azurians' he is begging for our mercy. Hahaha." Samael stood to his feet, took a deep breath, and stared down at the wise counselor who stepped out of line. "I don't surrender. Not now, not tomorrow, and never will." Samael did not hesitate, he grabbed his Pterodac sword and advanced right into battle but moved with an astounding speed. The one wise counselor that had stepped out of line, was caught by a surprise from Samael's attack and suffered from the blade that pierced through the midsection of his holy vessel. "How can you??? Consume his mortal body... Disintegrate him at once and grant the holy flame to excel." All the rest of the wise Azurian counselors attacked Samael with six elements of nature, wind, ice, thunder, water, light, and force. One wise counselor is self-healing from his wounds inside a force barrier and the last one is prepping the holy fire to kindle his ancient Azurian iron staff. The wise counselor is at the recovering stage, shouting at the wise one who is prepping the holy fire. "Finish the chant—use the holy fire to consume his whole flesh!." Samael sidesteps most of the Azurian counselors, elemental attacks but the wise one cast his fierce wind to clean sweep Samael off his soles into the wise one, who cast his ice spell and the wind inflicted Samael to strike the solid-white frozen wall. "Just give up—mortal being!!! And take your defeat. We will have mercy on, you by withholding the holy fire and you can choose a painless death." Samael groaned as he rose back to his feet, raised his Pterodac sword, and spoke with enthusiasm. "I will not lay down my blade... I will never surrender. I will complete this pathetic trial and get the heck out of here—ahhh." Samael rushed with retaliation, the charisma amulet, and the great light barrier amulet gave Samael the endurance to carry on this battle and the electrifying power that was coming off his sword. "Now you'll see the true power from the edge of my blade—ahhh." Samael jumps into midair and swings his sword downward but does this final strike against the twelve wise Azurian counselors end the battle, and Samael completes the first trial? The next chapter will start with Samael's fatal attack on the twelve wise Azurian counselors and may proceed to the next trial.
