POWER

Chapter 11

Alora's body spread black aura that covered Rose and part of the sky. Rose looked around as she could not see anything before Alora attacked her fast and disappeared back into the aura. She flew in the direction Alora had gone through but found nothing as she heard Alora laughing in the aura before she started attacking Rose whilst repeatedly disappearing back into the aura. Rose got annoyed and surrounded her gauntlets with black aura but it was absorbed by the aura around her. The aura then formed multiple fists around her and began attacking her with her trying her best to dodge and block but she could not keep up with them before one of them punched her into the hand of Alora who was waiting and held her tightly by the neck. "You're luck she wants you alive" Alora told her as Rose struggled to break her grip but Alora then thrust her other hand into her stomach making Rose scream in pain. "But that doesn't mean I can't pay you back for the humiliation you caused me" she said twisting her hand inside Rose's stomach but then Rose's eyes glowed brighter as red aura covered her black aura that surrounded her body and she head butted Alora away from her. She panted whilst looking at the wound that began healing and looked at her angrily before roaring as her black, red aura covered aura expanded destroying the black aura around them and pushing Alora back a bit. "Impossible" Alora said looking around as the sky was now clear and looked at Rose who held her head as the black, red covered aura disappeared with her eyes beginning to change from red to black repeatedly. She flew up to her and grabbed her but then felt a chill as Rose looked at her angrily with her eyes black before they changed back to red and she pushed her off her. "What kind of demon are you?" Alora asked her as Rose covered her gauntlets in black aura and began attacking her fast. Alora managed to block some of her attacks but the ones that landed left black aura burning on her body. "What is this!?" Alora said looking at the burning aura on her body that began eating away at her before being punched higher into the sky by Rose who followed her and started repeatedly beating her. Rose then held her and spread massive black aura flames across her body that began eating away at her fast. Alora screamed as parts of her fell to the ground whilst continuing to be eaten by the flame before Rose let go of her watching the flame completely surround her head. She felt a sharp pain in her head as the helmet and gauntlets disappeared. "I'm getting closer" a voice warned her in her head and she ignored it before flying back to the battlefield. "What happened?" Rose asked landing next Arthur as they watched Eve spreading her aura around Aisha whose body was covered in blood. "The attack she used to take out the blood strengthened vampires attacking us took a heavy toll on her body" Arthur replied her but then Eve's aura started fading away before it was completely gone and Eve panted whilst wiping the sweat of her head. "I don't have enough aura to heal her completely but I did what I could" she told them and Rose helped her up. "Don't push yourself" she told her and they looked around at the battlefield. "You guys have to go" Freya told them appearing next to them. "Thanks to you we now have control of this battle, now all that's left is to take out Diadra"

"I'll stay here with Aisha" Eve told Rose and Arthur. "You sure?" Rose asked her and she nodded."Don't worry we've got them now go end this" Freya said taking and helping Eve with Rose and Arthur nodding before running towards the castle.........

"For vampires I gotta say this place is well kept" Rose said looking around as they walked in the hallway of the castle. "I hope Mella is ok" Arthur said and Rose grinned. "What you're starting to like her or something?" she asked teasing him and he sighed. "No, I just think her archery skills are impressive and she can be useful, that's all" he replied her. "Ya keep telling yourself that" she said making him frown as vampires appeared from the shadows of the hallway and attacked them but they killed them without any trouble." I would've thought Diadra would have kept the blood driven ones inside for better protection" she said as they continued walking."How is it you could use the power of the demon inside you?" Arthur asked her. "During my training I managed to overpower it with the will of my aura's previous users allowing me to access its power whilst keeping it temporarily chained inside" she replied him as he shot a vampire that appeared and tried to attack her. "But its difficult using its power and if I get too worked up whilst using it or use too much of it, it might release itself from my hold and take control again" she continued. "Then you better be careful when you use it" he told her stopping in front of a door. "What's wrong?" she asked him as he opened it and they saw the dead decaying bodies of humans with their hands chained to the walls and holes in their chests. Rose looked at them all and got angry." I'm gonna kill that b***h" she said grabbing Arthur as her body covered itself in aura and she flew up with him through the ceiling until they reached the throne room in which she landed. "Warn me next time you do that" Arthur told her wiping the dust off his clothes. "You do know there was a door right?" they heard someone say and saw Diadra looking at them whilst sitting on her throne with Mella unconscious next to her. "You must be Diadra" Rose said about to walk towards her but then two vampires appeared in front of them. "Dispose of them" Diadra told them as they started attacking them but Rose dodged and held them for Arthur to quickly shoot them in their heads. "Impressive" Diadra said as Rose threw the bodies away. "What have you done to her?" Arthur asked looking at Mella. "Nothing, her blood is too contaminated to enjoy" she replied throwing Mella to them and Arthur caught her. "Let's hope it's not the same with yours" she said standing as her eyes started glowing. "You're gonna have to get us first" Rose said with her eyes glowing also and they rushed towards each other but Diadra caught her and threw her through the door. "I'll drink yours first" she said flying after her leaving Arthur and Mella. Mella slowly woke up and looked at Arthur. "Arthur" she said getting his attention and he put her down. "You ok?" he asked her and she nodded but then held her head in pain. She grabbed Arthur as she looked at him and he saw the pain in her eyes before blood started flowing out of her ears and she dropped her head. "Mella?" Arthur said shaking her but then saw the blood from her ears turning dark purple and her skin turning pale. "Oh no" he said before she hit him away onto a wall and looked at him with completely dark purple eyes........

"Get off of me" Rose said pushing Diadra off of her as they crashed through a wall. "This would be so much easier for you if you just gave up" Diadra told her. "So you can drink my blood and kill me, no thanks" she said flying towards her but Diadra caught her and smashed her through the floor. "I will make it painless" Diadra said as Rose released released herself from her grip and kicked her away. "No means no" Rose told her blasting balls of aura towards her but she caught them and joined them together turning them black. " Too bad" she said throwing it at her as she blocked but was blasted back before she punched her harder until she reached the ground."I would've liked having you in one piece " Diadra said flying down as Rose stood up and wiped the blood from her mouth. "You're not gonna have me at all" she said as her demonic helmet and gauntlets appeared on her and she punched Diadra through a wall but felt pain in her head. "Ohhh your blood must be really good" Diadra said standing and wiping the blood from her mouth. Her body surrounded itself in black aura and she flew to Rose who blocked her but was being pushed back. She then grabbed Rose and threw her hard out of the castle and into the sky. Rose struggled to stop but when she did Diadra came at her and punched her harder creating a wave. She then proceeded to catch up to Rose and grab her before throwing her through a mountain. Rose stood up slowly whilst badly injured but Diadra crashed down behind her and before she could react blasted her with a wave of black aura that shot her back to the castle and she landed hard into it. "So much precious blood wasted" Diadra said flying down to her as she was bleeding all over her body with blood coming out of her helmet. Diadra put some of Rose's blood on her finger and tasted it before feeling a rush of power flow through her. "Just as I thought" she said smiling at Rose but then Rose's whole body erupted black flame. Diadra felt a sudden sharp pain in her as she moved back. She looked at Rose whose blood turned black and her whole body was covered in a demonic heavy armour that joined the gauntlets and helmet. Rose opened her now black eyes and grabbed Diadra whilst standing. "Let go of me" Diadra said punching her hard but it only made her head move and Rose looked at her annoyed as she punched her in the stomach hard making her vomit black blood that surprised her. "You corrupted me" she said looking at Rose before Rose pushed her away and started beating her ruthlessly. Diadra tried blocking but when she did her hands were brocken but Rose did not stop attacking her. Rose then proceeded to punch her through the ceiling and flew up with her before grabbing and throwing her and she crashed into her throne. Diadra tried standing up but Rose shot shards of black aura into her legs that pinned her to the ground as she walked towards her. "Get away from me!!!" Diadra shouted watching as black aura surrounded one of her fists but when she was about to punch her she stopped and held her head in pain.

"Give......me......back......my....body" Rose said struggling to pull of the helmet and when she did it disappeared including the rest of the armour and her eyes turned back to normal before she fell on one knee. "Look out!!" she heard Arthur shout as he pushed her out if the way from a barrage of dark purple arrows. "What are yo.......what happened to her!?" Rose asked Arthur as she looked at Mella who made dark purple aura arrows appear around her and she shot them at them but Arthur quickly shot them with his hand crossbows. Rose noticed that Mella was holding the book that she kept symbols in. "When did she get that!?" Rose asked Arthur as he continued shooting her arrows. "She just made it appear from her body but I think she stole it before you gave Tyral to safeguard the bag it was in" Arthur replied but then arrows shot his arms and legs and pinned him to the wall. Rose watched as a portal with symbols on it appeared and Mella walked to it. "On no you don't" Rose said rushing up to her and tackling her away from it making the book drop from her hand before using both her hands to pour her aura into the portal that began overloading. Mella tried shooting arrows at her but then a blue barrier appeared in front of Rose and protected her. Rose looked and saw Eve holding up the barrier from the door but then Mella started shooting at her and she had to make another barrier to protect herself. "I'm going to kill you" Diadra said as her power came back to her beginning to heal her and she took the black aura shards out from her legs and flew towards Rose. Eve could no longer keep her barriers up and they broke but then Arthur managed to painfully rip his arm off one of the arrows pinning him to the wall and shot her with a bolt covered in a lot aura that hit her hard pushing her towards the portal. "You've got to be kidding me" Rose said as Diadra pushed her into the portal with Mella also going into it before it exploded pushing Eve to the ground. "Rose" Eve said looking at where the portal used to be.......

Rose fought with Diadra as they travelled through different coloured aura's with Mella watching them. Rose then managed to grab Diadra before she covered her arms in aura and threw her hard out of the aura they were travelling in and Diadra screamed before disappearing. She looked at Mella expecting to fight her also but Mella just looked at her. "Ok then" Rose lowering her fists as her aura disappeared and looked around the aura they were travelling in. "So this is how you guys travel, pretty nice" Rose said looking around but Mella kept quiet and continued watching her. "When we travel we just appear in the place, we don't go through something like this" she told her as she noticed they were reaching a dark purple portal. "Guess that's our stop" Rose said as they went through the portal and appeared in front of Belcwin who was standing in front of Elina who was sitting on her throne before the portal exploded behind them. Rose's eyes glowed as she rushed towards Elina but Elina just waved her hand as dark purple aura tied around Rose's body making her fall. "Its good to see you again too you b***h" Rose said struggling as she tried to remove the aura around her. Elina then blasted Belcwin with a ball of aura and he hit a wall. "I told you what would happen next time you fail me" Elina told him with her eyes glowing. "Ya kill him it will make it so much easier to kill you" Rose said still struggling against the aura that squeezed her tighter the more she struggled. "Unless you tell me otherwise I'm gonna dismember you piece by piece as I make sure you stay alive to feel the pain" Elina told him but then Mella shot a dozen arrows at Elina which she blocked using her aura. "What is the meaning of this!?" she asked blasting Mella with a ball of aura. "Ohhh you can't control her anymore" Belcwin replied smiling as he stood up. "What do you mean I can't control her, isn't it my aura that you used to bring her back to life after you killed her in the world she was in?" Elina asked him as she watched him wipe his glasses and put them back on. "I reconfigured the aura you gave me to enable me to bring them to life so that they only follow my commands after you attack me" he told her as Mella stood up and continued shooting arrows at Elina. Elina blocked her arrows with aura again before clenching her fist as Mella's body started being crushed slowly until she was spherical with dark purple blood flowing out of her. "After all those kingdom's energy you saw me absorb after we finished destroying them you really thought you could beat me with someone as weak as her?" Elina asked him. "Why don't you let me have a go I promise I won't disappoint" Rose said and Elina frowned before the aura around Rose covered her mouth also. "You really think she was the one I was putting against you" Belcwin said creating a giant portal in front of him. Rose rolled away as a dragon claw emerged out of the portal and almost crushed her. Her eyes widened as she saw Razze who now had horns on her head with her eyes completely dark purple and her scales were also dark purple but her chest had multiple scars on it. "Using the power of the symbols and some from that commander I've made her stronger than any of my creations, well except for one but I'll save it for when it's needed" Belcwin said smiling as Razze blew dark purple fire at Elina who blocked with her aura but was pushed back. "You traitorous snake" Elina said covering herself in aura as she flew at Razze and flew with her through the ceiling. "Amazing isn't she" Belcwin as he looked up where they had gone through. Rose's words were muffled as she tried talking to Belcwin angrily but he ignored her as he created a portal in front of them that allowed them to see the fight.

Razze hit Elina away using her tail before turning into her draganoid form which had dark purple skin and kept the horns whilst wearing dark purple light armour. She blasted balls of aura towards Elina who waved them away before summoning her sword to her hand and she started attacking her but she blocked with her hard dragon scales that prevented the sword from cutting through. Razze held her sword before punching her away from it and broke it. Elina dodged another attack from Razze who had flown towards her but Razze quickly turned around and grabbed Elina before throwing her hard across the ground. She then proceeded to blow a large blast of fire that covered Elina and began melting the ground as well. "That's enough!!!!!" Elina shouted as a burst of dark purple aura stopped Razze from blowing fire at her whilst pushing her back. Elina's body covered itself in more aura as she looked at Razze angrily with her eyes glowing brighter. She then flew up to her fast and started repeatedly beating Razze who was unable to block and dodge her attacks. "Looks like she's getting serious" Belcwin said watching with Rose from the portal. "I didn't want to have to use this but I guess I have no choice" Belcwin said taking out a syringe filled with different coloured aura that moved around ferociously. He then injected it into his arm and his body began to shake violently as he fell to the ground screaming with his skin disappearing into his flesh. Rose watched as wings made of bones burst out of his back with his body growing bigger forcing his clothes to rip with bones emerging from his flesh as his flesh turned black including the bones that grew with his body. He stood up slowly and looked at Rose's surprised face with his now skull shaped face and completely dark purple eyes as his bone wings covered themselves in dark purple aura. "Truly my finest work" Belcwin said in a deeper voice looking at himself and feeling the power surging through him but Rose shook her head still looking at him with her eyes wide. Elina grabbed and pulled off one of Razze's wings making her roar in anger as Elina then held her by the neck. "Still pathetic" she said watching as Razze struggled to free herself from her grip as she raised her hand about to thrust it through her chest but then was blasted with a ball of aura that blew her away making her leave Razze. "I'm pretty fond of her so I don't want her to die yet" she heard someone tell her and stopped herself to see it was Belcwin flying in his new form. "I'm going to enjoy killing you Belcwin" Elina told Belcwin flying to him as she constructed another sword in her hand and tried slashing him but he blocked with a sharp bone sword that constructed itself in his hand from the bones on his body and they started fighting each other. Elina was faster than him and started slashing his body but it quickly regenerated itself. Belcwin then made a sharp bone come to his other hand and he stabbed it into Elina who grunted before slashing Belcwin hard across his body with her sword covered in aura making him fly back. "Nothing less to expect from you" Belcwin said looking at the wound Elina inflicted on which was dripping dark purple blood whilst healing itself but then Elina felt herself getting weaker and looked down at the bone in her to see it was draining her power. She quickly took it out and threw it to the ground but it changed direction and flew into Belcwin's body as Belcwin threw his bone sword hard which Elina tried blasting but it went through her blast and into her shoulder. She tried taking it out but then felt agonizing pain as the sword spread itself inside her body. "Corroding aura thanks to a certain something's black aura" Belcwin said smiling and Elina looked at him angry. She roared as she blasted Belcwin with a large blast of aura but Belcwin raised his hand and made a barrier that protected him from the blast whilst he flew towards her. Elina tried blasting him with more aura but felt herself getting weaker as the bone sword inside her continued to corrode her before Belcwin raised his hand and blasted her to the ground. She tried standing up but Belcwin crashed onto her forcing her to stay down whilst creating a small crater and he started repeatedly stomping her hard with aura covering his foot as he laughed. He stopped when her body was completely covered in dark purple blood but she tried standing again using his body as support. "Pitiful" Belcwin said picking her up and pulling his bone sword out of her before it went back onto his body. "And to think there was a time I feared you" he said smiling as she looked at him angrily with her eyes glowing but then he opened his mouth wide and consumed her. He felt her power coursing through his body before he changed back to his human form and his clothes repaired themselves as Razze flew down next to him with her one wing. "Let me get that for you" Belcwin said pouring dark purple aura into her which regrew her wing. "Since Elina destroyed your old companion I think you're going to need a new one" Belcwin said looking at the castle with Rose, who was still surrounded in aura, watching them from the portal Belcwin had left...........
