Fractured

Chapter 48: Conflict

Chaos continued to take place deep within the Jamaican jungle. A destroyed paradise lit up with the sparks of war once again. A fate it seems it could never escape.

The roars of battle continued down below as Hunters and Obeah Men continued to clash with the Three Claws. With Kuro and Amaris occupied with fighting Devon it was left to the beasts to do most of the work on the mass soldiers. Artio's Lighthawk Orion flew above the battle occasionally plunging down and light dashing through multiple enemies doing his best to help. Sometimes he would even emit bright flashes of light allowing for those below to take advantage of the Hunter's and Obeah Men's disorientation to deliver killing blows.

Odin down below was dealing havoc ploughing through Hunters with ease with Apep wrapped around him lunging at enemies with her powerful bite and dispersing dark clouds of smoke leaving the enemy confused. Artio alongside her beasts fought like one herself with her blood claws drawn from both her fists and feet and dual wolf tails enabling her to attack all enemies around her.

As she was fighting she couldn't help but notice the deaths of Dire Wolves around her which hurt her to witness. Animals were her close friends, she had a connection to them unlike anyone else to see them die caused her great pain. The only other person it affected equally as much was Ekon. His abilities were specifically used for forming connections with the animals around him. Despite those abilities not being around her still could understand the pain they were going through but he also knew that this was their choice. They wouldn't have it any other way but to aid their companions in need for they were just as much warriors as they were.

Nisha and Itri fought together like siblings. Having each other's back as they ripped apart the enemies with their saber like teeth. Itri uses her bladed tail to carve through additional foes and Nisha uses shadow teleportation and shadow claws to slice down the enemy. They never however went too far from Ekon who they had formed quite the bond with. Even without Telepathy Ekon was always able to understand them. Telepathy just enabled them to do it with a voice. That was all.

Artio continued her rampage tearing through the enemy a dire wolf in front of her was doing the exact same until it suddenly whimpered in pain as a blade stuck through its back. The body was tossed to the side unveiling Seth to be the owner of the blade. His eyes were furious, glowing with a bright purple. His legs burned bright with purple light running up his spine as dark smoke emitted from them and surrounded his body.

In an instant his body disappeared and reappeared with a slash towards Artio forcing her to leap backwards from it.

"You!" Seth said as rage sparked in him as he remembered the day his legs were taken from
due to the lethal bite of Apep. He looked to the side of him and saw Odin and Apep taking down multiple hunters.

Artio looked at him and noticed the direction of his look. She quickly pushed herself forward at breakneck speeds as Seth teleported to Odin and Apep with his shadow katana in hand. Artio managed to get in his way grabbing his wrist and staring at him with the eyes of an animal. "You'd have to kill me first."

Seth ripped his wrist from her hand as he reached to his side and pulled his other shadow katana out. He took his stance with conviction. "I'll kill every last one of you."

Blaster fire pinged off Badar's body as he made his way through with ease. His Lunar armoured skin making it so nothing fazed him as he went through the enemy. A Obeah Man ran up from behind attempting to smack him with a metal bat only for it to bend on contact with his body.

He slowly turned to him, blaster fire still bouncing and impacting his body with no damage as the Obeah Man shook in fear. He drew a pistol from his trousers and pointed it to Badar's face firing it multiple times. His hand was simply grabbed and crushed as the smoke dispersed from Badar's face and revealed nothing but irritation.
