Phoenix Academy

Chapter 40

Eris Sinclair Alderhaide's PoV

"Everything will end," narinig ko mula sa isip ni Lucifuge who is now in Lucifer's body.

Lucifer then turned to me, who was now in the form of Lucifuge. He held my hand down, and the barrier around him faded. Nawala na rin sa paningin ko si Lucifuge. Wala sa sarili akong napakagat sa sariling labi dahil sa kaba.

Georgia... Lucifuge... am I the next one?

Napasinghap ako nang isang malakas na dagundong ang umalingawngaw sa paligid. Tumaas ang paningin ko't nakita ang dragon, nakikipaglaban sa Phoenix. At sa ilalim nilang dalawa ay si Phoenicia at Red. They seem to not run out of energy. The dragon and the phoenix.

Ah, this was the dragon na tumawag sa'kin noon, at ngayon kontrolado na siya ni Red. I guess he summoned him. He has grown a lot since the last time I saw him. And sa tingin ko, more powerful.

I got goosebumps when I felt the dragon smiling at me. His scales shimmered, at his teeth showed while looking at me. Weird but ok.

Nagulat naman ako nang makaramdam ng madilim na presensiya sa likod ko, Lucifer. His aura was even more dangerous than Lucifuge. He walked towards me. "I'm taking what's mine, Sinclair," he said as he got the sword from me, sligtly brushing our hands together.

Nilagpasan naman niya ako at pinuntahan sina Red. He immediately showed off his power. But then Phoenicia suddenly spoke, "My slaves are now here. Hindi niyo pa ba ilalabas si Leon?"

Napatingin naman ako sa kalayuan, at naningkit ang mata ng sunog... no, it was torches. A thousand of torched that made it look like as if there's a wave of fire coming to destroy our land.

A man with light blue hair and black eyes went to my side, and groaned. "Damn, dami pala nila," aniya habang tumatawa. Pinanlakhan ko siya ng mata, paano pa siya nakakatawa sa sitwasyong 'to. Nilingon niya ako't nang mapansin ang ekspresyon ko, kinindatan niya ako.

"Don't worry, Sinclair. The Alpha's here," masaya niyang bigkas bago tumakbo papunta sa paparating na mga kalaban. He, then, slowly turned to a wolf. He howled loudly that it could even be on par with the dragon's roar. The dragon had travelled towards the army, and blew fire off its mouth.

Bagaman ganoon, hindi pa rin nauubos ang bilang nila.

Umakyat ang kapangyarihan sa'king mga kamay, at lumipad na naman akong muli. I made a bow and arrow, at sunod-sunod kong pinana ang mga nilalang. Ilan lang kami laban sa... How many are they? Thousands?!

I groaned a little nang mas gamitin ko pa ang aking kapangyarihan. With my hands trembling, I let go of the bow and arrow and fell to the ground. I summoned the power of death from the land that they're standing on, kung kaya't mabilis namatay ang ilan.

Binato naman nila ako ng mga kapangyarihan nila. I dodged, and then created a shield force around me. But soon enough, my eyes fell and my breath became heavy. Hindi ako mamamatay dito, pero patuloy akong mawawalan ng enerhiya. I can't call help from them, they are too busy defeating Phoenicia, who's harder to defeat than this army.

My heart seemed to stop, but now it sped up, racing as panic poured into me, forcing my eyes open. The Alpha's now going against the army, and he commanded the Phoenixes on our side. I can just gather energy from the dead, right?

Sinubukan kong gawin 'yon, at bagaman mapait sa mahika ko, tinanggap ko ang enerhiyang 'yon upang magpatuloy. Wala pa sa kalahati ang napapaslang ko at tila parami sila nang parami! Where the hell did Phoenicia get these slaves?

Nagulat ako nang biglang masira ang shield ko kaya't nagkaroon ako ng daplis. I winced at the pain at inhaled sharply. My knuckles began to ache as I forced myself to pick up my bow. I tried my best to infuse magic power in it, but I couldn't... I'm far too out of energy.
