Infinity Blade: Legends

Chapter 15: A New Vile?! Part 1

Ausar's POV
All our swords clashed together in what seemed like a never ending 3 way. Isa and I struggled to hold on as her father wasn't even breaking a sweat. We both jumped back in defense position. Isa ran in for the attack. Zarlax dodged right and sliced her side. Then kicked her in the stomach causeing her to fall back.
I was filled with even more rage, I ran in and gave off a battle cry. Our swords clashed, "Is that all you got?" He asked. I then stepped back and did an uppercut, he stepped back and I saw an opening. I quickly lunched my body into position and managed to stab his right shoulder.
I went through, suddenly black and purple aura surrounded the wound and my sword broke upon contact, "damn it!" He then punched me and I went flying. I hit the bookshelf and made half of them fall. Isa regained consciousness and quickly came to my aid.
Zarlax started laughing........the kind of sick laugh that makes a shivery sensation make its way down your spine. Small bits of blood dripped from the arm that had been cut off. "This is the final test Ausar. If you truly hate me and you shall kill me, you indeed shall be the chosen one. However if you die here," he stopped, "it doesn't matter...I'm one of the deathless, you can't fully kill me!"
He gave a devilish smirk, "The effects of the vile.....will haunt you, even in the event of your death!" He said. I didn't know what that meant but I didn't want to find out.
"You have one arm, and you last a lot of blood....just give it up dad, so we can go back to the way things were before the vile!" Isa yelled. "Isa......there is something I must tell you." He said. Her curiosity at its peek, "Isa....you have been the biggest mistake of my life. You came from one of my, violated slaves. I never wanted you. But I took you in anyway just because your mother begged and eventually died for you.
At once....I started to like you. I felt truly happy since I thought I made the right choice. I was sadly mistaken. So now......die.....die with your boyfriend here." He snickered. Ida's eyes widened as tears begun to flow down. She grabbed her chest and knees down, "the person who raised me and I looked up to? Your love was fake?" She whispered.
I couldn't take this demon. I was feeling pure rage. I wanted to kill him so badly. I then padded Isa's shoulder and kneed down to hug her. We both got up. She still broken, both physically and mentally. I was scared to ask her anything. She then broke my grip and ran to him, "Burn in hell! And ever come back!" She screamed as she reached in for the stab. "Isa NO!" I yelled as I anticipated what Zarlax might do.
I was right....his body vanished alupon impact. There was a 6 second grace period before the strike, "Isa! Run to me! Now!" I yelled. I ran to her, I knew if I failed, she would certainly die. She held her hand out as I reached out. I felt the dark energy again as it came from all directions. I extended my hand but suddenly from above.
Zarlax came down and kicked my ankles then in a flash kicked my chest. He then spun around Isa and stabbed her in the back. As I was flying back I saw his lips moving, but I couldn't read them. Her eyes widened even more, seconds later her eyes closed...she then fell to the ground and died. I hit the wall and made a large dent in it. I fell to the ground seeing colors, red and green with my vision blurred as well.
I then got make up, blood dripping from my lip, nose and forehead. My armor severely damaged with holes in it. Almost my whole left arm from shoulder pad to gauntlet was gone. I recovered my vision staring at Isa's dead body and Zarlax standing over top of it. I gritted my teeth, I felt rage like never before. The fact that I couldn't do anything.....he was just to strong.
The only way I could beat him is if I succumb to the dark power. I didn't want to do it, but I had no choice, there was no other way! I limped towards him, Feeling psychotic as I finally excepted the Vile into my body. "Your a really bastard you know that." I said beginning to snicker. "What's so funny little brat?" He ask.
I walked slightly tilted almost like a zombie,
"I wanna kill you so bad it hurts. Your right, I was foolish for not excepting your gift to me....but you have been using it incorrectly all along." I said. "What did you say?!" I laughed, "let me show you old man. THE TRUE EXTENT OF VILE!!!" I yelled. Purplish arua consumed my body, Zarlax starred in amazement, " Anger....that's all it took. Your weaker then I thought. You may have a sword but you have no will driving it. Your faith and soul waver like a small flickering flame in the cold."
"Call me what you want, and speak mindless riddles....it won't change the fact that I am indeed stronger then you and i will be your successor. But make no mistake, you shall die in this very room tonight." I then stopped about 10 yards from him. Black aura then came upon me, it consumed me and my purple arua. It altered my armor. It was black with gold lining and a shield on my right arm as a gauntlet. My helmet had what seemed like mini horns on it.
And no eye sockets. The vile constructed me a new blade as well. It was darkened and its handle was black. At the beginning of the blade was a small loop, which looked like a halve of the infinite marking. The black flames lessened and I felt like a new man.
"At last, u have met my equal." Zarlax said. I smirked, "You've mistaken me."
I then ran in at blazing speed are swords met and created a shockwave. I broke up ready for the next blow. His body disappeared. He came from behind but the bottom of my handle hit his face. I broke his nose, and spun around and kicked his face. He stepped back still feeling pain. I don't give him much time to recover as I rushed in and stabbed his other arm.
He screamed in pain. I then moved the sword upward and it came out his collarbone. I then jumped up into the air for an arial attack. When I came down he vanished but blood still following his trails. He then hit me from the right side. Vanished again....then appeared right in back of me. He pinned my down and dislocated my right arm.
I screamed in pain as he vanished once more. He appeared right in front of me and did a massive uppercut that sent me flying. I hit the roof and then fell back down. He was right below me ready to stab me in the heart. I came down with very limited options. I then took my blade and hit Zarlax's before it hit my chest. I hit the ground pretty sure I broke all my ribs.
Zarlax then came up to me, "As I told you earlier. You are weak and your will is weak. You have no place in this world......I was desperate in wanting you to be my successor....even though you are one of the few that can harness it." I gritted my teeth and attempted to get back up. He put his foot on my back and pushed me down.
He then rolled me over and punched my face. Even more blood spilled from my nose and mouth. He put his sword above his head, in seconds he came down in the hopes of stabbing my chest.
I then held the blade with my bare hands 2 inches away from my face. After seconds of struggling I then broke part of the blade leaving Zarlax defenseless and unbalanced. I kicked his chest and he fell back. I then got back up, "you almost got me there." I said as I snickered Devilishly. Zarlax became angrier, you broke my blade. Die you bratty bastard!"
He then disappeared. I heard blood drops from the left side. He hit me. A kneed down. I heard more blood drops from straight ahead. There he was, he did a backflip kick to my face as I was blown back several yards. I heard blood drops from behind, so I gave it a shot. I blocked his next attack with my sword. "I knew it!" I said. His expression grew more tense then ever before.
He then vanished once more. There was a vast silence and tension was in the air. I closed my eyes. His voice haunting me from every direction. I felt it, it was above me. I quickly jumped to the side as in a flash Zarlax appeared.
Our swords clashed, each hit sending a tremendous shockwave. I swung and I missed he stabbed my side. I then backflipped, then jumped in for a redo. Our swords clashed again. I flipped his arm upwards and I saw an opening. He was stunned but still looked like he had things under control.
I reached in for the stab but then he vanished. I heard a drop of blood and anticipated his movement. I quickly spun around and reached for the stab. Zarlax went through my sword and was paralyzed. He was shocked. "You.....but how?" He murmured. I smirked, "Got you." I said boldly. I then pushed it in further. He gave his final breath, "This will happen to you." He whispered as he gave out and died.
I pulled my blade out and withdrew it. Zarlax fell to the ground. I then banged my arm against the wall to get it back in the socket.
I walked to Isa. I figured she was one of the deathless, so I picked her up. Suddenly I heard a loud roar. It was coming from outside the castle. I also sensed something or someone very familiar. I quickly ran out the library door. I was only greeting by hundreds of deathless. I couldn't find anyway of fighting with Isa in my arms. I looked for a way to escape. I saw a window up top. I only had one shot, so I made it count.
