Sides of the World

Chapter 18, End It.

The battle started.

The servants were coming after Leo(Vincent also took over but Leo did most of the work) often, I pushed them away as I sliced up a few guards. I got pushed to the ground by a few guards but I swept their legs and made them fall. I got up quickly and Hollow stopped me in front of Leo.

"You're going against me." He growled.

I look back at Leo who was fighting Anomaly and a few guards at the same time. Leo looked like he was struggling, the wound is probably hurting again...

"Alright then." I flipped my knife and got into a ready stance.

"This time, to the end." Hollow unsheathed his sword.

——

-Leo's POV-

I pant as I grow tired of going against Anomaly. I blocked another attack and deflected him. "Vincent is there isn't he?" He laughed.

"Sure!" Vincent's voice called out and punched Anomaly in the stomach.

"There he is!" Anomaly stood on his feet still and spit out blood.

I jumped in the air and kicked him back as he tried to strike again. "When will you give up?" I mumbled and punched him again. I swing my scythe but he parries it.

"I live to serve." Anomaly laughed and stabbed his claw forward. I moved quickly but ended up being sliced on my side but good thing is it wasn't near my wound.

"I got you back." Anomaly cackled.

I groan in pain and I slowly move myself away.

"LEO!!!" I hear Ribbon's voice.

I watch him shove Hollow back and run towards me.

Dahlia stepped in and sent a crystalized shard in front of Ribbon. "NO!" He screamed as he avoided it and Dahlia grinned.

Vincent appeared in his physical form, he picked up the scythe, and parried another attack from Anomaly.

"I got this." He says, standing in front of me.

Indigo ran by my side and placed her hand on the wound. Her palm glowed white, "Sana." She whispered and a warm glow went through me.

"I can only heal small wounds, I wish I could heal the one near your abdomen." She whispers.

"It's okay." I smile

"Don't let the girl or whatever, heal." Dahlia signaled his guards.

"SHE'S A GIRL. SAY IT RIGHT YOU SCUM!!!" I yell at him, I point, and try to to tick him off.

"LEADER? MY ASS!!!!"

He gives me a disgusted look, "I love you for that." Vincent whispered to me.

-

Indigo finished healing me and I got up quickly to kick a few guards away. "Scythe!" I called out to Vincent, he nodded and we became one again.

Dahlia stepped down to fight me.

"You recovered surprisingly well."
"Amusing." He chuckled.

I didn't say anything other than give him a long glare.

"I'll be sure to end you swiftly."
Dahlia sprinted towards me and I moved away as he tried to stab me with his sharpened arm.

"I don't think so." I kicked him in the stomach and swung my scythe. He stops it but I kick him and he falls over the long blade, scraping his leg.
