Curse Of The Vengeful Spirit

Chapter 17: Total Chaos

"Quite flinchy, are you? You'll regret your choice."

It was still steaming with spraks of light and my shadowy blades sliced across the thin air like blades gliding at a cutting-edge space.

Perhaps the mortal realm distorted the physics here. The barrier kept the magical spells enchanted as long as the caster remained in that cosmic aura. I knew this could happen.

Until I hit him squarely on his right wing. He maneuvered on a tall pine tree as I smiled.

"Pitiful... you seem clipped?" I chuckled a million echoes.

The leaves suddenly stopped wriggling. I smelled the familiar scent...

Whoosh!

I know it! It was the Phoenix! But how did he escaped??

"Wraa!" I screamed in pain as the light above the pine tree scorched me.

It was the Omniknight. And come along was his friend, the Dragon Knight.

They wasn't supposed to be here. How the hell did they managed to escape?!

I writhed in pain as I lay down the ground, quite battered. The three hostages faced me with those glaring eyes of red. You may want to know, ethereal creatures like me can see entities beyond their souls. And those eyes were glowing... like an aura, but this one is somehow newer to me.

I have to escape...

Shuunnnggg...

I summoned my illusions apart from my dark soul. Causing great pain, but used one of them to escape, latching on it and it vanished on my soul again, regaining my vitality.

They'll pay for this... they can count on that.

Phoenix's P.O.V

That Specter is surely escaping. I would've turned her into a charred mess if I see her again.

Omniknight patted my helm. "Thank you, my friend."

I only chirped.

He should've thanked that girl who saved us from Lucifer and his Demonic band, and not me. I only dived forward to prevent the Specter from slicing a life off again.

Up on the pine tree, I saw a pair of wings. But it seem odd...

Davion helped him up as the winged man put his helmet back up to his head. Omniknight gasped as he took a look on his wings.

It was sliced with the Spectral Dagger... everything it touched will only wither and die. Omniknight tried to heal him with the light, but it didn't worked.

I chirped and bursted a Sun Ray upon him, but it didn't do anything.

Davion looked worried. "Hey, can you still fly?"

The man tried, but in a matter of minutes, he fell back on the ground."

"Then how are we going to get your wings back?" Davion asked.

He only shook his head. Omniknight came to him with a pat.

"Well, we all look on the same target then?" He grasped his hammer hard.

But where's that girl earlier?
