POWER

Chapter 17

"Come on Aisha, you can't tell me that's all you've got right now " the king said to Aisha as she flew him through several trees in the forest before he managed to shift his weight and stick his legs into the ground making them stop after a while before removing the hand holding his neck and throwing her away hard through some trees. She looked up and saw the claw marks she had left on his neck starting to heal whilst he stretched it."Fight me more seriously" he told her prompting her to come at him and she angrily growled with her eyes glowing brighter. She flew up to him and started attacking him using her claws as they injured him whilst he blocked but the injuries were healing as fast as he received them. He then grabbed her hand during one of her attacks and punched her onto a tree but before she could drop to the ground he quickly rushed up to her and punched her face through the tree but she sunk her claw into part of another tree and broke it off to use it to hit him making him move back a bit. She continuously using the tree to beat him with it breaking and getting shorter with every hit making him move back whilst he blocked and when it was now too short threw it towards the king's face who hit it away only to be met by a punch with aura covered spikes that had emerged out of her hand. She didn't let up the attack with her other hand forming aura covered spikes and continued fighting him with his injuries healing slower the more he got them. He held her head that formed spikes that went through his hands but he wasn't fazed as he pushed her head down to be met by his knee that hit her hard making some of the scales from her face come off. He started spinning her around through the trees with his hands still stuck to her head but she broke the spikes off and spun through a couple of trees before stepping on one and using it to jump hard towards him making the tree shatter. She grabbed two trees as she was about to reach him and positioned them in front of her and he blocked using both arms with the trees breaking apart but then spikes went through both his arms and out his back because Aisha had placed them inside the trees when they reached a certain size. She quickly started punching more spikes into his arms that went through his back and then jumped into the air and onto him making him fall to the ground resulting in the spikes moving up his chest. She then created a whip of spikes which she swung around to grab a couple of trees before smashing them hard onto him. "I know that's not enough to take you down" she said with the whip disappearing but felt a bit of pain with her eyes getting dimmer. She heard a distant shriek and looked up to see a giant bird flying down in the distance. "What was that?" she asked herself when suddenly there was a large blast that came out from underneath the broken trees blowing them away and Aisha had to fly up so as to not get hit. "You're right" he said standing with gold aura surrounding him and the spikes that Aisha had used on him gone with no injuries on him anymore. He stretched out his hand that quickly made a gold aura whip which tied around Aisha and he used it to drop her hard to the ground. "You know it's not appropriate to look down on a king" he told her smiling whilst she broke his whip and stood up. She flew towards him but he punched the air creating a strong force that almost blew Aisha away but she managed to grab and put her feet on the ground only to slide away a bit. "It's bee a while since I've used this much power" the king told her looking at the aura around his hand. "So forgive me if I kill you too fast"he said stomping the ground hard making it shake before parts of it flew up in front of him and he started hitting them fast towards Aisha whose hands emerged spikes to help her destroy the projectiles. She managed to destroy most of them but the ones that hit her took off pieces of her armour until one hit her in the face removing some scales and making her look back but then he appeared behind her and kicked her into the air. He then started rapidly punching the air which made forces that hit Aisha making her go higher into the air but when she managed to use her wings to fly out of the way she looked down and saw him gone. "Behind you" she heard him say and turned around to see no one. "My bad now you can turn around" he said and she turned around to be met by a barrage of fast paced attacks which she managed to block a couple but the ones that hit her did serious damage to her. When he was about to punch her she managed to dodge and with her spikes being covered in aura tried to punch him in the face but the spikes broke and she couldn't get through his aura. "I think you have to try it harder, like this" he said with aura spikes forming on his hand and he punched her hard towards the ground creating a wave. When she impacted the ground she made a big crater that blew a lot of trees away and with the dust still settling slowly stood up with blood coming out of several parts of her armour including her head and the holes that were made on her chest by the king's spikes. "I'm surprised you're not dead yet" the king said flying down in front of her. "As long as you live..... so do I.... until I put you down" she told him wiping off the the blood from her head and getting into a fighting position............

Rohesia continued dodging and attacking the beasts and Duncan looking creatures that came after her with black aura flames covering her hands. "Isn't your aura getting drained? " Kendra asked Rohesia confused as she dogded and attacked the creatures coming after her with her unsheathed sword that was not glowing. "No" Rohesia replied with an agitated voice whilst smashing the heads of a couple of creature before jumping towards Kendra and helping her."Thats odd because when these things are able to land a hit on me they take some of my aura with them" Kendra told her. "I think maybe it's because of the demonic nature of my aura" Rohesia said taking Kendra's sword and sliding her hand on it covering it with black flame. Rohesia threw Kendra into the aura before creating a wave of black aura around her using the sword which engulfed the creatures in black flame that turned them into ash. She then caught Kendra and gave her back her sword that no longer had the black flame. "That doesn't make sense I mean Duncan absorbed your aura"

"Yes but when my aura turns into its flame form it can't be absorbed because of the corrupting properties it has thanks to my demonification" Rohesia told her but then pushed her out of the way as several tentacles were about to hit them. "I was sure my creations would take care of you" Aziz said towering over them whilst his tentacles fed on the surrounding knights making him grow bigger. "No we took care of them instead now its your turn" Rohesia told him sliding her hand on Kendra's sword making it erupt black flame which covered her body making her feel stronger with its power flowing through her. "It actually worked" Rohesia said looking at the flames covering Kendra impressed. "What do you mean it....." she was interrupted by Aziz trying to attack them with tentacles but they dodged. "If it hadn't your body would've started slowly burning away giving you agonizing pain in the process" Rohesia told her cutting off some of the tentacles that failed to regenerate with black flames now on where they had been cut. "But hey at least they won't be able to take your aura anymore with it also increasing your physical attributes, just be careful not to use your aura at all whilst that flame is around you"

"Why!?" Kendra asked dodging multiple tentacles as she started attacking those that tried feeding on nearby knights with her sword also leaving back flame preventing their regeneration. "Just know there's gonna be a lot of you around this battle if you do and I don't mean in your clone way" Rohesia said jumping next to her whilst watching Aziz look at the tentacles with black flame before the others ripped them off him completely and new ones grew in their place. "Impressive trick"Aziz told them smiling. "Whatever you say you damn thing " Rohesia replied making him angry as they felt the ground shake and thousands of tentacles emerged out of the ground killing those unfortunate to be above them. "Think we can take them?" Rohesia asked Kendra whilst looking at the tentacles around them. "I highly doubt it" Kendra replied with the tentacles aiming and rushing towards them but Rohesia raised her hands and started burning them but the more she burned the more new ones came out from the ground to continue attacking as Aziz continued feeding on soldiers.

"How long can you continue doing that?" Kendra asked Rohesia as she noticed that her flames were getting less powerful the longer she continued including the flames around her."I can.....do this all day" Rohesia replied with her sweat starting to turn into steam.

"Even if I could use my aura I need it stored up in my sword to allow me to create clones"

"I think I can probably help out with that" Rohesia heard Rose say in her head as half of one of her eyes turned red. "When I tell you to you try making clones with your aura" Rohesia told Kendra who looked at her confused. "What...""Just do it" Rohesia interrupted her putting one of her hands onto the sword that emitted a small amount of red aura which flowed faintly into the black aura on it. "NOW!!!" Rohesia shouted with Kendra's eyes turning blue and the sword created a giant explosion that destroyed all the tentacles but Aziz protected himself from the explosion by making more tentacles come out from the ground and protect him. "Did they really think they could take me out with that?" he asked himself making the tentacles he used to protect himself go down as he couldn't see much because there was a cloud of different colored auras around the area the explosion had taken place. Suddenly the cloud started turning into black and blue clones of Rohesia and Kendra with their eyes red until there were hundreds of them before it disappeared. "What is this!?" he asked frustrated and tried looking for the real Rohesia and Kendra. "We're over here you oversized creature" the clones said in sync with Kendra and Rohesia's voices. They started running around Aziz with him still trying to locate the real ones but still couldn't find them. "It doesn't matter, you're just giving me more to feed on" he said stretching his hand as couple of his tentacles went through some clones but they smiled and exploded leaving black flames that completely consumed the tentacles."Ya it's not gonna be as easy as that" the clones told him in sync again making Aziz angrier. "I'll destroy you both!!!! " he shouted as tentacles erupted out of the ground and started attacking them. They stopped running around him and started fighting back against the tentacles with those that were punctured by them exploding leaving the black flames. Aziz tried using other tentacles to feed on the few remaining knights but the clones protected them with his tentacles that erupted from the ground becoming less the longer they continued coming out. "This can't be" he said started to panic as he looked around for something to feed on. "Looks like it's time we wrap this up" the clones said starting to run towards Aziz who shouted as many more tentacles began coming out but his body grew smaller. Some clones managed to go on top of those tentacles to continue their run towards him whilst other's stayed on the ground chopping off the tentacles as they ran but some were taken down. "Stay away from me!!!!!!"Aziz shouted as his body turned into its original size and tentacles erupted from the ground piercing all of them with only two remaining about to reach him."It's over" he said with tentacles coming out of his hands and piercing both of them but after they exploded the flames reached his hands and started burning them making him shout in pain. Suddenly he felt something behind him and turned around to see the real Rohesia and Kendra that had black and blue veins around their bodies with their eyes also black and blue but one of Rohesia' eyes included red."Well..." he was interrupted by Kendra cutting off his head and Rohesia creating a ball of black flame that she put into his body through his headless neck and they both dropped to the ground as the body was engulfed in black flame including all the tentacles that remained which began slowly turning them to ash.They both panted as they felt the pain in their bodies disappearing with the veins and their eyes turning back to normal."Lets never do that again" Kendra said trying her best to stand but failed because she was exhausted including Rohesia. "Hey at least you didn't blow like I was expecting you to" Rohesia told her but then they heard something coming from behind them. They turned around to see Aisha's bloody body coming towards them fast and Rohesia caught her with parts of her army appearing on her feet and hands. "f**k that hurts" she said feeling that the spikes on Aisha's armour went through her gauntlets. "I'm bored of her now" they heard the king say as he flew down in front of them and looked around. "Impressive, you've managed to kill all my generals"

"I'm.... not... done with you" Aisha said with Rohesia helping her to stand. "Yes you are but anyway how about a preposition?" the king asked confusing all of them. "You give me that book", he pointed at the book still on Rohesia's waist, "And I'll give you all fast deaths"

"Hmmm let's think about, Kendra?" Rohesia asked Kendra whose eys started faintly glowing and she squeezed her sword.

"No"

"And how about you Aisha?" Rohesia asked with Aisha's armour flickering a couple of times before spreading white aura around itself which repaired itself and fixed her scales . "f**k no"

"Well it's settled, we'd rather die trying to take you down " Rohesia said with her eyes faintly glowing and her armour appearing on her. "If that's what you want so desperately then so be it" he told them with his eyes glowing brighter. "Honestly speaking we can't defeat him in the states we're in" Kendra said before looking at Aisha. "Rohesia and I will try to weaken him as best we can so you can take him'

" I can't let y..... "" Make sure he doesn't come back up" Rohesia interrupted her and began running towards the king with her hands being covered in faint aura flames. The king smiled as she was about to hit him but was shocked when the attack broke through his aura allowing the punch to connect before Kendra followed up and slashed him with her sword being covered in faint black flames by Rohesia making a wound on the king that didn't heal. He grabbed and threw them away before touching and looking at the wound."You're going to be a nuisance" the king said looking at Rohesia annoyed as his aura grew stronger. He then rushed up to Rohesia and tried attacking her but she narrowly dodged with Kendra trying to attacking him with her sword that was no longer able to break through his aura. "His tougher now" Kendra said getting punched by the king and landing next to Rohesia who tried shooting faint black flames at him that had no effect. " Continuing to attack is pointless , I have an idea but I don't know if it'll work" Rohesia told Kendra before whispering into her ear. "We're both going to die anyway at this rate so what the hell" Kendra said starting to run towards the king with her eyes glowing a bit brighter. The king tried hitting her but she dodged and thrust her sword towards his chest but it was being stopped by his aura. "You're never gonna get through that" he told her about to hit her with his hands before Rohesia raised her hand which made the flames on Kendra's sword grow stronger and she screamed whilst adding her blue aura to the flames that created an explosion which blew her away and pushed the king back whilst also leaving a hole in the king's aura on his chest. "Dammit" the king said looking at the hole that began growing back and when he looked back up he noticed that Rohesia was now close to him.The flames on her hand grew a bit larger as she hit him in the exposed area of the chest with the king holding her hand to lessen the force of the punch that would've gone through his chest but just went into it a bit. He crushed her arm and repeatedly beat her before throwing her away with his aura completely restoring itself. "It's now up to you Aisha!!! " Rohesia shouted with Aisha spreading her wings and flying fast towards the king. "Are you really going to...." he was interrupted by Aisha covering her hand in white aura and punching him hard in the face making all the aura around him break apart before she covered her other hand in aura and gave him an uppercut that sent him flying but he managed to turn and land on his feet. "What's going on here!?" the king asked himself failing to get his aura to spread around himself anymore until he felt a burning sensation in his chest and looked down at it to see pieces of Rohesia's armour sticking out of it with flames surrounding them that began greatly weakening his ara. He looked at Rohesia who smiled whilst raising her bloody broken hand that had a few pieces of its armour missing with her eyes glowing brightly. Aisha continued attacking him with him failing to block and dodge her powerful attacks and when he tried holding her hand during one of her attacks it went through his hand and into his arm before she swung him away hard using that hand. He stood up looking at the painful dark bloody hole that was in his hand. "I'm not going to kill you quickly just like what you did to him" he heard Aisha tell him as she was about to punch him and he raised his other hand only for hers to go through it and into his arm but this time spikes emerged out of her armour and through his hand. She then proceeded to step on his chest to rip his arm off using those spikes and waved it off her."You b***h!!!!" he shouted trying to punch him with his other hand but she caught it and ripped it off him before breaking both his legs by kicking them very had making him fall to the ground with some bones from them showing. "I've kept so much of my pain inside for just this moment" she told him holding his head so he could look into her glowing eyes and he could sense the hatred in them. "Now it's time you felt it" she said before roaring at him with her voice sounding like a beast whilst emitting white aura that covered his body and began peeling off his skin bit by bit. She stopped when his skin was completely off and he couldn't move because of the tremendous pain he felt. "Please..... end me" he begged her but she just looked at him annoyed."What I've done to you still isn't even enough to pay back for what you did to this kingdom""Aisha told him. "I think I can help with that" she heard Rohesia tell her before the pieces of armour still in him erupted black flame that began surrounded him giving him agonizing pain but did not burn his body. "That should hold until you've said his had enough" Rohesia told Aisha walking up to her as they watched the king shouting in pain. "Unless you think it's too cruel?"

"No" Kendra said walking to them whilst holding her sword which broke from the earlier explosion and watched the king. "He deserves this"

"Can't he gain tolerance?" Aisha asked Rohesia who started laughing. "Hell no, this is demonic flame which means no matter how long his in it his always gonna feel that pain and never gain tolerance" Rohesia told them as they continued watching the king.........
