Chapter 306: Warrior
It was as though everyone around knew something wrong had happened, they all froze and looked in the direction of Kira as her body lay there on the ground, not moving at all.
Aren slowly turned around, his eyes already shaking as he did, every step he took seemed extremely heavy and by the time he fully looked at her body on the ground, the reality fully dawned on him.
His eyes trembled, his hands started shaking like he was having some sort of mental breakdown.
No one took a step, not even his friends, the scene scared them, they all did not know how to react.
Aren collapsed to his knees, he grabbed Kira by the head and lifted her head up to get a better look at her and look right into her eyes, even as one half of her face was completely blasted away.
And for the first time in a very long while, tears streamed down the face of Aren, but these tears lasted only a few seconds as suddenly Aren yelled, no, not yelled, he roared, the kind that came out when something that was never meant to be touched is unleashed.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
His scream was so loud that it caused the air to tremble. He threw his head back as he roared even more, his entire body shaking, his eyes went dark with shadow.
"Die, Die, Die, Die, Die, Die" Aren began saying, he screamed it out louder with every passing moment, his bloodlust rose and so did the soul energy that his body expelled, it was like a dam had shattered and everything was let out.
"Dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" He screamed one last time and thrust his head forward, black tears falling from his eyes, a massive shadow suddenly started forming below the feet of everyone, it covered a ten kilometer space, everything within that range was covered and at the very center was Aren whose rage was ever growing.
"Something isn’t right," old man Silver said, his expression shifted into worry, he looked at Aren from a distance and the shadows beneath his feet and he knew that something had been unleashed, he didn’t know what it was, but it was coming.
Even Geisha stared in shock and worry, he looked at Aren at the center with a mix of emotions, excited that the body that he had picked was indeed full of massive potential but also worried about the fact that Aren was something he might never be able to control.
"Why did you have to kill her?" Suddenly the rage in Aren quelled for a moment so he could ask Ironclaw one question. He looked right at Ironclaw with a straight face.
Ironclaw stared back and didn’t reply.
"I said why!" Aren yelled and then massive tendrils the size of skyscrapers shot out of the darkness towards Ironclaw, he could not even react before one slammed into him and sent him flying down into the ground.
BANG!
This stunned everyone, because not only had Aren taken down a patriarch, he had done it with ease.
Aren then got on his feet and turned to look at Blade who was behind him.
Blade stared right at Aren, but even through the mask he knew that who he was looking at right now was not the same person that had been here a moment ago.
Aren held Kira in his hands, he looked at Kira and then at Blade. "You caused this, DIE" as he said those words, Blade was ready to defend himself, so he charged at Aren at full speed, but a large hand erupted from the ground and latched onto the leg of Blade before hurling him and slamming him into the ground hard.
The hand then fully came from the shadow below and an eight feet warrior was what stood there, eyes glowing red, decked in full armor, and a massive sword on its back.
Aren had no summon like this, he had never kept a shadow like this, and yet somehow he was using this summon, and this was simply due to one fact, Aren was no longer using his power, but rather the power of the one before, the version of himself that he had spoken to in the shadow mind, this was the first ever version of Aren and the one that held the ultimate truth.
The summon that Aren had called forth was a summon that belonged to the one before. A summon from a place Aren could only dream of knowing, but he wasn’t worried about that for now, for now he had summoned the warrior that would exact his revenge.
Blade rose to his feet filled with rage because of the fact that he was just tossed around now.
"I’ll kill you, no matter what you are now, I’ll never allow a brat like you take me down" Blade said before switching his sword to the dragon slayer sword, and then unleashing his full strength, even going as far as to allow his innate divine energy to seep into him.
BOOM
The unleashing of his power sounded like a bomb had gone off, his aura rocketed and reached the heavens in a matter of seconds, his red aura raged like a storm, this was the complete and ultimate power of one of the patriarchs and he was about to show it here and destroy Aren for certain.
Everyone looked in awe and fear as this power soared, but Aren turned away and walked with Kira in his arms, leaving the warrior to handle what needed to be handled.
Blade saw this and the rage he felt at this moment could not even be fit into words, he clenched his teeth so hard that the grinding sound could be heard.
"Kill him" Aren said as he walked, and immediately the warrior grabbed at his sword,
He pulled the massive great sword from his back with his eyes gleaming, ready to take down Blade.
Aren on the other hand walked toward Ironclaw, the murderer, he would ensure the death he faced would be painful.
[please note, Aren is currently in control in a very weird way, more of this state will be explained later, but right now, there is only Kira in his hands and anyone that steps to stop him might die, friend or foe]
