From One War, To Another
Arc 1
Part 6
Darius and Riku Team Up
Author; Drustan Leo Alvarez
The Therican woman sneers mockingly, as she chuckles, despite the mass carnage of her own troops and large crater surrounding her.
All because of her own recklessness as a battle junkie, not that she ever cared about mere foot soldiers anyway.
Riku immediately uses his harness ability to pull forth stone from the earth into the basic form of a saber as he uses his harness ability to pull mana into it from the air.
He continuously uses his harness ability to refine the stone as it compresses more and more until it becomes a metal blade, the fine stone falling off the refined metal alloy blade like soil.
The metal alloy saber glowing with purple mana mere seconds after he harnessed it from earth and mana.
Riku squints with a furrowed brow at the Therican Woman as he attempts to find a visible opening or weakness.
The Therican Woman grins as she raises her right hand from her side pointing her right palm towards the ground in front of her to her right.
Small cracks begin to form in the spot below her palm as a ghastly green glow emits from the cracks, as the cracks begin to open more and more while ghastly wails start to emit from it.
Black mist starts to flow upwards from the ghastly green opening as it swirls while skeleton hands reach from the within the opening creating a base, small bones, rib bones, and skeleton hands flow from a hole in the middle of the skeleton hand base within the black mist.
The bones float upwards with the black mist forming into a large one edged sword of bones with rib bones running along its blade between them the blade itself made of undead energy emitting a ghastly green.
The black mist mostly dissipates only a single thin line of it encircling the sword.
Riku rushes at the Therican woman attempting to seize the small opening, as she walks towards the undead blade.
The Therican woman grabs her undead blade by its hilt and rushes forth to meet Riku's attack.
They rush toward each other at high speeds, their blades clash.
The undead blade releasing the wailing spirits of the dead, and the metal alloy sword releasing purple waves of mana with each clash as they each repeatedly pull back then rush forward for an opening only for their blades to meet.
The loud clashing of their blades rising through the rainforest, as birds fly out from the trees and scatter.
Outside of the crater Lexi and Darius are freeing the villagers of various races, from the
cages on the wagons.
Darius yells over the loud clashing blades, "Lexi keep freeing the villagers then escort them back to Looter's Dive! Imma go help out Riku!"
Darius parts from Lexi as she free's the last of the villagers and begins to escort them back to Looter's Dive.
Darius dashes toward the crater pulls out his Arcane Blade Shot and with the flick of his wrist in one fluid movement straightens it into Blade Mode.
Darius pours his golden refined mana into the Arcane Blade Shot, a blade of golden mana protruding from its hilt.
Darius leaps from the edge of the crater high into the sky, in his right-hand his Arcane Blade Shot pointing toward the Therican Woman.
In the open palm of Darius's left-hand forms a Golden Arcane Rune Circle with runes rotating along the inner edge and three smaller golden circles in the middle of the Arcane Rune Circle.
From the Arcane Rune Circle, Darius begin's firing off golden mana bolt's at the Therican Woman below as he descends from above.
The golden mana bolts rapidly fire off three at a time consecutively like a minigun.
The bolts make contact with the Therican Woman creating softball sized burnt craters in her back on impact, while she fends off Riku's attacks.
The Therican Woman disengages from Riku in order to dodge the mana bolts, before raising her left arm and putting up a one-sided shadow shield.
Darius swings his Arcane Blade Shot sending slashes of golden mana through the air as he continues to descend.
The Golden mana bolts and golden mana slashes hit the shadow shield and make decent sized cracks in it but it doesn't break.
The Therican Woman has already regenerated and points her Undead Blade toward Riku as he charges toward her.
While she points her Undead Blade toward him a wall of bones rises from the ground blocking his path.
As Riku crashes through the wall of bones, Darius lands on the ground within the crater only a few meters away causing dirt to rise like dust.
After Riku crashes through the bone wall he sees the Therican Woman on the other side to his right swinging down her undead blade, as it is inches away he manages to shift his weight to the left toward the ground and roll away, just barely dodging her attack.
The Therican woman quickly creates some distance, with Darius to her left and Riku to her right both of them in front of her.
The Therican Woman looks at them both with an excited look on her face, and slight arousal, she says, "Good, now it's a #####some. Let's make it an ###y shall we!!!"
The Therican Woman raises her Undead Blade then says unintelligible words, that sends a chill down Darius's, and Riku's spines.
Ghastly green large cracks open in the ground in several places before Darius and Riku, as large bone golems with rotten flesh and black liquids crawl out of the ground.
The Bone Golems slouch to a stand their backs arched with large sword sized talon-like claws dripping in blood, they stare lifelessly at Darius and Riku with their black empty eye sockets.
Riku charges through the bone golems faster than lightning obliterating them with his sword, then rushes the Therican Woman.
Darius makes a large sweep around the Therican Woman's left while exiting her line of sight as he propels himself forward with his golden mana, and makes a sharp turn before rushing her from behind.
Both Riku and Darius plunge their blades into her torso simultaneously.
Darius starts to move his Arcane Blade towards the Therican Woman's head while it's still in the back of her torso.
However, the Therican Woman moves to her right in an attempt to make a mad dash away, causing Darius's Arcane Blade to slide off course through the left side of her skull just nearly missing her brain.
As she begins to dash away while her torso, neck, and skull begin to close and regenerate, Darius and Riku pursue her.
The Therican Woman then releases a massive amount of black fire from her body like a dome-shaped shockwave.
The Shockwave of Black Fire throws Darius and Riku into the walls of the crater, black fire burning large portions of their clothes.
Darius only gets a few 2nd-degree burns on the portions of his body exposed by the burns in his clothes, before quickly regenerating.
However Riku's right arms is chard black along with half his face, fortunately, his Varin racial trait kicks in and rapidly regenerate the parts of his body still burning with black fire.
As Darius and Riku rise out of their respective craters fully healed, they see The Therican Woman concealed in swirling darkness and black fire.
The darkness and black fire disperses revealing a 9 foot/2.7 meter tall canine/feline bestial humanoid with large muscles a tail a female figure and large claws for fingers on her hands, her eyes glowing with blood red hellfire giving off a burning cold aura filled with malicious intent, her whole body covered in black fur without luster.
She open's her mouth revealing her large snake fangs dripping with blackish green venom, and speaks in a loud somewhat seductive yet sickly, almost poisonous voice, with bestial growling undertones, "Hreh Hreh Hreh, Now the real party start's boys. Let's have some fun."
The Therican Woman in her fully transformed Slaughter Form, Howls a deep sickening deep guttural howl that pierces the air with a shockwave that resonates in the area sending a deep chill of fear through Darius, and Riku's bodies as if literally stabbing their bones with needles.
Darius and Riku each feel the effects it has on their body making them feel almost sickly, causing them to feel as if they are having an out of body experience.
Darius able to think clearly realizes Riku isn't gonna be as much help so he uses his magic to create Arcane Mana Golems out of his Extremely Refined Golden Mana from Arcane Runes in his supplemented memory on his races magic capabilities.
Darius quickly starts writing Golden Arcane Runes in the air, quickly creating a single Arcane Rune Circle before pouring half his mana into it.
Golden lightly transparent bulky humanoid golem's each with a single arcane rune circle on their chest appears from swirling golden mana.
The 1 thousand golem's manifest from Darius's Mana both in the crater and outside of it, each of them manifests a single sword from their existing mana that makes up themselves, and charge forward via ground or air like a tidal wave of golden light.
The Arcane Mana Golems each throw themselves at The Therican Woman as she tears them apart each one by one, with her claws and teeth, each fallen Arcane Mana Golem dispersing into golden mana.
Darius quickly dashes to Riku who is slowly walking towards the battle, without much strength in his eyes as he attempts to fight the psychological effects of the howl.
Darius rushes to Riku's left side and quickly writes the rune for mental clarity on Riku's forehead.
Riku's eyes stop shaking and go back to normal as he suddenly inhales oxygen deeply from the surrounding air, and looks like he just woke up from an intense nightmare.
Riku turns toward Darius and says in a clear calm voice, "Thank you."
Darius replies, "No Problem. Now let's kick her ass."
Riku answers, "You got it."
Suddenly a large shockwave of blood red hellfire resonates from the Therican Woman still in her Slaughter Form, destroying most of the Arcane Mana Golems causing them to disperse into golden mana and return to Darius's mana pool within his body.
Darius says, "I have an Idea, I need you to hold her in one centralized area then when you see me charge, you retreat away."
Riku replies, "Got it."
Riku dashes toward the Therican Woman in her Slaughter Form, as he charges his body with the surrounding mana.
With Riku and the few hundred remaining Arcane Mana Golems doing their best to keep the Therican Woman in one place, Darius begin's focusing his energy on charging his body with light from his racially extremely high light affinity.
When Darius can feel the skill taking effect he begins running at half his Alecel racial speed, with his body lightly glowing with white light.
Riku is in a grappling pushing match with the Therican Woman in Her Slaughter Form, his hands on her biceps pushing her as her hand's are on his biceps pushing him when he see's Darius running toward's them.
Riku quickly let's go then dashes away with all his strength.
Darius see's Riku in the clear then Darius's body glows brighter with white light and he discharges light from behind him propelling him at almost light speed toward the Therican Woman in her Slaughter Form.
Darius tackles her into the crater wall her body burning from the light shining from Darius where he touches her, the rest of her body being lightly singed from the light as smoke starts to rise from her the rest of her body, still in her Slaughter Form.
Darius focuses on his Fire Affinity bringing it out and combining it with his invoked Light Affinity, thus creating Holy Fire which he then pushes toward the Therican Woman in her Slaughter Form.
The Holy Fire burns her to ashes as it spreads across her entire body as Darius continues holding her against the crater wall.
She lets out pained howls and cries as she completely burns to ash.
As the last part of her body burns to ash, a single flame brightly burns out, atop the pile of ash.
