"I'll teleport to the top of the mountain to see if he's up there." Aziria says as Moxi nods. "Good idea, that way we." Moxi stops talking and turns to Aziria. "Did you just say teleport?" Moxi asks as she nods. "Yes, I can teleport. Why, is that bad?" She asks, smiling evilly. "You mean you could've teleported us here?!" He shouts as she laughs. "I could have, but where would the fun in that be. I would rather you see how far you had to walk, rather than just do everything for you." She says as Moxi sighs. "My adventure has already gone up in flames, you could've spared us this dumb lesson. I'm really starting to dislike you." Moxi says as he pops his knuckles and runs through the zombies, punching their heads off and bodies in half with a single punch. Moxi rips his way through every zombie on the mountain over the course of a few minutes. As we reach the top, Moxi breathes heavily and walks towards a large mansion. Ornate windows and two massive doors decorate the front of the building. As Moxi grabs the door handles and flings them open, a blast of energy knocks him back to the edge of the cliff. I lunge back and grab his hand, stopping him from falling several miles down a steep drop-off. "You aren't from this world, and none of you were meant to be here." A voice echoes past us as I pull Moxi up. "You are all quite strong, you may actually pose a threat to me." The voice almost hurts as I stand up and stare into the mansion. A man with short messy black hair walks from the darkness, a black mist floating behind him. He has a black and gold robe on with several white symbols on his chest. His deep purple eyes almost piercing through me as he jams a black staff into the ground next to him. I feel a pain through my knee as I fall down. As I look down, I see my shadow piercing through my knee. "Shadows fuel my strength." He mumbles as my shadow rips away from my body. I see every shadow around us float from the ground and form a solid black blade in his hand. "Shall we begin?" He mumbles as he raises his sword and blocks Aziria's punch. The force from her punch cuts the mountain in half. "Shit, Malick we have to get off the mountain!" Attira yells as I grab Moxi. He seems almost amazed from the force of Aziria's punch. "Kneel before Lexion! King of Shadows!" The sorcerer yells as a fireball as large as the mountain appears above us. "I was hoping to have fun for once, but I can't afford to let them get injured." I hear Aziria say as we all appear far away from the mountain. We see the bright we fireball spanning miles wide suddenly get blown away. A few seconds later we see the entire mountain seem to evaporate, much like how the steel pole did when Rozaria grabbed it. A shockwave sends us all flying back hundreds of feet. As we roll to a stop, we see Aziria standing a few feet from us with a smile on her face. "Sorry, didn't want one of you dying from my attack." Aziria says as Moxi laughs. "That was incredible." Moxi says as we all nod. "You are. Terrifying." Fallyn says in between panicked breaths. "Sadly, this guy is much stronger than even I had anticipated." Aziria says as a blade of black flames appears in her right hand. My flesh feels like its melting, even though I'm taking no damage. "Evanesa, scorch the very veil of existence." Aziria mumbles as her hair turns pitch black. "To think I'd have to use my first release." She mumbles quietly as Lexion appears about thirty feet away from us. "You are magnificent. You could be a great asset in my dream of killing all humans." Lexion says as I notice his left arm is missing, and he has a large gash on his cheek. "If you're this strong, why haven't you killed all the humans here already?" She asks as he laughs. "Where would be the fun in that? But honestly, I could, yet I couldn't kill humans in other dimensions. I know you came from a different dimension, that is information I've been desperately needing." Lexion says as Aziria holds her sword up. "I won't even need a second release to deal with you." Aziria says as her sword vanishes and she stands up straight. "What did she j-" Moxi gets cut off as a wall of black flames, as wide as the horizon itself appears in front of us. The flames rise to the sky, as far as our eyes can see. A split second later all the flames funnel down into Aziria's chest. As we stand up, we see the land in front of us has been reduced to ash. Grass, trees, animals, dirt, stone, all turned to black ash. "I hate having to use Evanesa on mortal planets. Pocket dimensions and uninhabited dimensions avoid a lot of damage." Aziria says as she looks to Moxi. "Sorry for stepping on your toes and taking the fight by myself, just couldn't having you die. On me, I did make a promise to protect you guys after all." Aziria says as she quickly walks over to us and puts her hand out. "All of you, take my hand." She says as we all quickly put our hands on hers. Aziria is unbelievable, I think she's stronger than the entire DAHC. I think as in the blink of an eye we're back in the castle where we met thing king. "Hey, king." Moxi says as I see the king staring out a window, in the direction we just were. "I fear that the Sorcerer King has grown angry and plans to attack soon." The king says as Moxi laughs. "No, that wall of fire was us. Or, well, more accurately it was her." Moxi says as he points to Aziria. As the king turns around, he's almost petrified with fear. "So, she's responsible for that?" He asks as I see every guard raise their spears. "So, she must be a demon!" The king yells as he falls back. "Well, you aren't wrong." Aziria says as she creates a portal next to her. We all quickly jump in as I see her grin. "But the sorcerer-king is dead. Your welcome." She says as she follows behind us.
