Gate Guardian - Song of the Frozen Soul

PHASE 32 - IT WAS NEVER A STALEMATE

PHASE 32 - IT WAS NEVER A STALEMATE

A dark flame pillar shattered the skies and engulfed the sword princess’s body whole. Then, a gigantic silhouette of an armor-clad entity slowly revealed its form.

Helena is now wearing the same mech-knight armor, but now, it’s colored crimson black. There are red glowing circuits running through all her body, and there are extra mechanical arms on each of her shoulders. However, she doesn’t have a helmet. Instead, she’s wearing a crown of black thorns that has an eye-like gem on the center of it.

Helena’s aura is terrifying. My whole skeleton trembles. My muscles refused to move an inch. I also think I’m going to pee my panties. The last time I felt this scared is when we fought Aeternos.

“Three God Cores at once?” Lord Mercury muttered as cold sweat rush through his cheeks. “This is getting absurd…”

“She just powered up, that’s all!” Heushac shouted to calm everyone down. Then he turned to his sister. “I can still defeat you, Sis Helena!”

“No…” Rikkun whispered under his breath that only I can hear. “Those three gods… Zeus, Odin, Vishnu. They are the primal gods in their pantheon. A Gate Guardian can only activate one God Core at a time, but she’s… she’s a special case. If we’re not careful-”

“Haaaaaaah!” Heushac immediately charged at the enemy at full throttle! His booster jet wings gave off a bluish burning streak!

“Heushac you idiot!”

Bam! There was a loud crashing sound! It seems like Heushac bumped an invisible barrier surrounding Helena! Good thing Heushac had a helmet on, or else, his brain would’ve been split right now.

“What the-!!!” Heushac cried. “Take this! Haaaa!” He raised his steaming hot blade and smashed it to the unseeable barrier over and over, but it didn’t do anything!  

“Foolish brother.” Helena smirked. In a second, she morphed her mechanical arm into a lance and swung it to her brother’s chest!

“Gah!”

Chunks of <Evo Armor>’s chest plates has been scrapped. It even went through and sliced Heushac’s chest up. His left lung just got slaughtered. Blood showered as he fell down.

“Mister Heushac!” , “Heushac!” We all shouted.

Key immediately canceled her <Evo Armor Form> and reverted herself back into her injured humanoid white-haired form. She spawned rocket boosters from her feet as she dashed away from Helena with the fallen Heushac.

When they are already in the safe zone, I immediately went to our dying friend’s aid and checked his wounds. It was a miracle that his heart was undamaged, but there is a huge cut on his lungs. I immediately used my <Healing Touch> while Key morphed her hands into surgery tools that removed clotting blood responsible for obstructing his breathing.

“Haaaa… haaa…” Heushac’s heaving tells us that he’s already exhausted. If this continues...

“Hang in there, Mister Heushac!” I cried as I focused more prana on my healing hands.

“Why you!” Rikkun angrily glared at the psychopath Helena. “Why did you do that to your own brother!”

“That’s what happens to the weak,” Helena smirked.

Why is Helena like that!?

“I don’t know what made you a retard, but you will pay for this!” Rikkun said as he drew his katana from his watch.
