Gate Guardian - Tale of the Blazing Heart

Phase 75: Erylle's Plan

Phase 75: Erylle's Plan

[Transfield]

[4:32 PM]

Benedict is already tired using the laser ability he copied from the demon. That ability consumes more energy than he ever imagined. Maybe he can copy abilities, but he can't copy energy capacities. That is his limit. Maybe that is why we got to beat him last time.

Maybe, just maybe, Void Spells can hurt Aeternos, but Neo is busy keeping the gate open. If he leaves his post, the Aeternos will be able to teleport again so that is not viable for any of us. There's only a few person who can cast Void Spells but I can't right now. Erylle is borrowing my abilities so I'm a sitting duck.

Wait...Now I know what Erylle is trying to do!

She descended from the clouds, now channeling her white bow with gray light. The heavens opened and created hundreds of mirror-like portals similar to a Gate. Then she released the arrow she's channeling with a mighty shout.

"<Void Art: Heaven's Judgment Seal>!!!"

The portals created hundreds of arrows, rapid firing to the demon. The demon used its wings to block the attack, but it was eventually ripped by the raging arrows.

=====!!!

The Aeternos's body was pierced by numerous arrows. This time, he can't move. It looks like the arrows have paralyzing effect on the target, and can also seal their powers. He is completely immobile at this point.

I've seen that <Heaven's Judgment Seal> on the book my father gave me. It was in the Advanced Seals section, so I didn't bother to read it because I can't even use it in the real battle. Maybe she tried to read it when she borrowed it last time.

"You did it, Erylle!" Felix shouted. "Finish him!"

Erylle then dived from the skies, gathering wind energy from the atmosphere to her feet. Her whole body then became covered in black flames and prepared her feet to clash with the sealed demon.

"<Atlantis Drive>!!!"

H-Hey! That's my newly learned spell on my training camp with Atlas! I tried hard to keep it a secret! Why is she revealing it to everybody! Darn spoilers!

In no time at all, she crashed on the Aeternos and made another shockwave that made another tremor. There was a thick smoke because of the impact. As soon as Erylle backed down, the dense smoke vanished.

The demon is still there, unscathed. There was a Void Energy on that attack, but how did it survive?

The demon now slowly moved his arms. He removed the sealing arrows one by one with his bare hands. Is there any way to kill this monster? As far as I know, we already used all our cards!

The red demon continued rampaging, but he was being kept busy by the other Legion Masters on Guardian Mode. One of them looks like a fully-armored samurai, one looks like a cool robot from animes with jetpack wings, and the other one is wearing regular black superhero attire with matching white cape. Felix assisted them but so far, we haven't dealt any damage yet. The demon's wounds have completely regenerated.

Erylle landed to our side, giving a disappointing sigh. I know she's quite exhausted, but she's not ready to give up. Maybe she came back to us to rest and reconsider our strategy.

"That guy is immortal. How can we beat him?" Mia said.

"I already have a plan." Erylle smiled. "But first...Yohan, try gathering some Light Energy."

"H-Huh? O-Okay."

I clapped my hands for the meantime and it glowed in green light. Maybe I can charge Light Energy, but it's useless. I can't use any spell or any of my abilities. But I noticed that there was a faint glow on Erylle's eyes.

"Hmmm...As I thought, we are connected by heart~" Erylle blushed.

"A-Are you kidding me!? It's not the time to flirt! W-We're in a middle of a crucial battle right now! Go back there and help!" I yelled at her. I'm currently blushing too, so my voice squeaked a little.

"I'm serious." Erylle made an oblivious smile at me. "I am the one who baptized you. I am the wielder of the Heavenly Blade that's residing on your heart. I am the one who taught you to gather the same energy type as mine. And I am the only one you love~"

"S-Seriously, what are you trying to point out? I-I'm confused... And stop making that poem, it's embarrassing."

Erylle sleazily walked closer to me and then stared at my eyes. "We'll get the Heavenly Blade of Death."

Is there such a way? How are we supposed to find it? And even if we found the vessel, how are we supposed to draw it from his or her heart? None of these makes sense...

"We'll bring Asumi back." She smiled.
