Gate Guardian - Song of the Frozen Soul

PHASE 35 - WRATH OF THE FAKE GOD

PHASE 35 - WRATH OF THE FAKE GOD

No doubt, the one who killed my friends is this devil. Diadem Solstice, Tiara’s lost twin. This revelation means that I will never welcome him with open arms.

Diadem positioned his blade towards his left, and the blade glowed with flames. I made a centered kendo stance to prepare myself for his attack.

But then, several deafening gunshots echoed throughout the place!

“Alaric, run!” Mr. Kent shouted as he cocked his shotgun and fired again and again to the Cursed Guardian. But alas, no weapon existing in the Earth Realm can hurt that person. All the shotgun shrapnels were converted to dust as it hit Diadem’s skin.

The black swordsman turned his attention to my teacher, and then he launched a swift spell with his burning sword! “<Pyro Twirl>!!!” Diadem shouted. At once, a flame tornado drill went to Mr. Kent!

“<Astral Fortress>!!!” A voice echoed. Suddenly, a blue castle wall hologram emerged between Mr. Kent and the evil swordsman, which completely repelled the <Pyro Twirl>! When the castle wall faded, it revealed another Cursed Guardian. But he is not the enemy.

“I’m sorry, Diadem Solstice.” The Outsider smirked. “I made a promise to the Prophet that I shall have his fate changed. I shall see to it that no other innocent victims shall die in this day.”

“You...” Diadem finally talked. His voice was so deep that it sounds demonic.

“Your enemy is here!” I shouted as a made a dazzling hack aiming his chest!

But he was able to step back and evade my attack. I followed it with another thrust and spinning slash, but he either parried or evaded it with ease. Then he kicked me straight to my jaw that made me flinch.

It didn’t hurt at all! I wiped the blood from my lip as I gave him the stare with an intent to murder.

“I’ll kill you!” I continued my deathly glare at the killer swordsman. Suddenly, his eyes widened, as if he was suddenly induced with fear.

I noticed that my body has been followed by silver particles of light. At last, my chest pain finally faded. My heart can finally handle the power of the gray Quintessence that the Outsider gave me!

“<Fake God Core: Cthulhu Ascension>!!!”

My hatred for Diadem consumed my mind and soul.

A beam of light from the heavens surged to my body. Immense strength entered my veins and prana circuits. My brain processors increased by a thousandfold. Hairs all over my body stood up for being electrocuted. And the next thing I realize, I was already a new cosmic being.

Black wings of a dragon emerged from my back. My left shoulder spawned ten elastic tentacles that are similar to those of a squid. My arms and legs have been covered by dragon scales. There was a huge red eye that emerged from my chest. And my katana now have become thicker that made it look more like a broadsword.

“I’ll… kill… you… Diadem!!!”

I made a warcry that made the earth tremble.

That evil swordsman didn’t waste any second. He charged his red sword with red flames and made a quick tri-slash to the air, which resulted into crescent burning projectiles! “<Sol Strike>!!!”

I used my sword and made blinding slices in the burning air to completely nullify the spell. But the enemy didn’t end there. He stabbed his sword once again and created a whirling flame drill! It was another <Pyro Twirl>! In the nick of time, I shielded myself with my wings!
