“Alright I’m off.”
“I want to burn up mana as well and maybe roast some mortals while I am at it” a male demonic voice said as he stood up and picked up his sword.
“Where are you going Satan?” the lady wearing a cloak asked.
“To the battlefield of course”
“Coz my heart and soul belong to the battlefield” Satan said as he mimicked Dean.
“But Lucifer instructed us to restrain ourselves,” the lady wearing a cloak said.
“Don’t tell me you’re afraid of that bodiless moron.”
“Asmodeus, if I were you, I’d be joining in the fan coz by the looks of it your battle beast can keep up with that mortal.”
“Sucks to be you” Satan said.
“What about you Belphegor? Aren’t you going to join the fight as well?” Asmodeus asked.
“Do whatever you want just don’t drag me to it” Belphegor said as if she was uninterested.
“Okay”
“If Lucifer asked what we did just say we didn’t do anything okay” Asmodeus said.
“Yeah, yeah, sure. Just stop bothering me” Belphegor said
“I’m counting on it,” Asmodeus said as she flew down the battlefield.
“Hailstorm” Asmodeus casted as she plummets to the ground.
Dean casted a barrier of divine light to protect himself. He then notices that the repair of his barrier is delayed every time the hail struck.
“What kind of spell is this?” Dean reacted.
“Radiant Rampage” Dean cast a ball of light and was summoned from the staff.
“Thank you for summoning me master.”
“It’s been a while since the last time I manifested in this form” the ball of light spoke.
Dean has this clueless expression on his face.
“You can talk?” Dean reacted.
“I hope we can chat later cuz right now we have a bit of a situation going on” Dean said as he looked at the ice demons.
The ball of light levitates and starts firing rays of light towards the three demons.
“Looks like Gabriel’s divine beast finally awakens as well” Asmodeus said to Illiden.
“It’s not a big of a deal.”
“Besides, I have stored so much mana that I don’t know where to use it”?
“I was planning to cast an ice age, but this mortal didn’t quiver in fear and run to its allies.”
“Hope we could end this sooner” Illiden said in a bored manner.
“Why do you have to come here?”
“I didn’t ask for your help,” Illiden said.
“I know and I am not here to join the fight.”
“I am here to check what that incarnate is capable of,” Asmodeus said.
“Want to figure it out?” Illiden asked.
“How?” Asmodeus asked back with an eager look in her face.
The long-ranged ice demon walks to the edge of the glacier then puts its hands together forming numerous icicles.
“This is all the power I harness earlier.”
“I concentrated it into one attack. Let us see how he will survive this all-out attack” Illiden said then he stands up.
“Icicle Spear Barrage” Illiden casted
Then the icicle spears are heading his way
“Light creation magic” Dean was about to cast a spell, but the ball of light interrupted him.
“All take care of this master” It said.
It emitted a strong burst of light that incinerated the icicles.
The light continued to scorch everything in its path including the three ice demons. Asmodeus and Illiden were saved because Asmodeus anticipated what was about to happen so she created a barrier.
“I knew it.”
“That ice looks familiar” the ball of light said.
“We’ll be taking our leave.”
“It’s nice seeing you Sol” Asmodeus said then she took off.
Dean was about to chase her, but Sol stopped him
The mages continue to cast their skills to keep the demons in check what they do not know that Illiden is harnessing their powers and using it to heal its comrades. The mages did not notice it because of the vibrant light that their spells created. The last thing they know they are running out of mana.
“Cease Fire!” the in-charge mage commanded.
Everyone immediately stopped casting. The vibrant light then soon fades after revealing a block of ice which is about to shatter.
“After all of that we still didn’t breach its defenses!” a mage ranted.
Then the block of ice shattered as something pierced through it. Then the mage who spoke earlier suddenly fall backwards with an icicle stuck in his forehead
“Die,” Illiden said, then he manipulates the shattered ice and sends it directly to the mages.
“Light destruction magic: Spectrum Swirl” Dean casted then swirling light acted as a shield that protected everyone.
“Run to the main battlefield.”
“Regroup with the others.”
“I’ll slow them down. Go!” Dean shouted out of frustration.
The spell he casted slowly deteriorates as the ice shards struck.
“Spectrum Swirl” Dean casted another one but this time it is much wider than the first.
“Concentrated Light Beam!” Dean casted then a thin ray of light struck the swirling light which boosted the spell's powers then it struck the second swirling light that boosted it again.
Concentrated rays of divine light cover a wider area and it is heading towards the Illiden and the other ice demons.
“Pathetic!” Illiden mock
“Ice creation magic: Dark Ice Shard” Illiden casted then a huge black colored ice rose from the ground refracting the light.
After the light faded Illiden and the ice demons were sitting on top of the glacier. They are wearing sunglasses made from dark ice and posing like the ones you see in a magazine cover.
“Is that the best spell you have?” Illiden said as he lowered his glasses.
Dean did not react because he was too worn out from that last attack he did.
“I’ll give you three whole minutes to run and regroup with your buddies.
“Once the timer reaches its limit, we will hunt you down light livestock.”
“I won’t even move in my place for the whole duration sound good?”
“Don’t you fear us” Illiden bargained.
“Fear?”
“Father died because he faced everything and rose. Just like him I will do the same because my heart and soul belongs to the battlefield.”
“I will never show my back to my opponent. I won’t just forget everything and run” Dean said.
“If that’s your choice then I won’t stop you but still I won’t move an inch from my position for three minutes” Illiden said then he gives the go signal.
Three ice demons jumped down and started stretching.
“Father please lend me your power” Dean prayed.
Then an immense light shined from his fragment that transported him to a different location
“Long have I awaited to meet you?” an angelic voice said.
“Who are you and where am I?” Dean asked as he looked around, but he couldn't pinpoint where the person he was talking to was located.
“I’m Gabriel” the angelic voice said.
“Gabriel, Gabriel?” Dean said as he taps his head as if he remembers something.
“Ah ha!” Dean shouted as he remembers where he had heard that name before
“I used Gabriel’s power and never came back,” Dean murmured.
“Tell me are you the same Gabriel that father borrowed his powers from?”
“The one he used to protect everyone back at Metro” Dean asked
“No”
“He didn’t borrow any of its coz all the mana he has, and the elemental power is his, but he didn’t expect that he would use it too early” Gabriel said.
“Now Dean” Gabriel said then he was interrupted.
“Yes!” Dean alertly said.
“You are now the successor of the light fragment.”
“Remember that light casts no shadow so one's thoughts should be.”
“Have a pure intention and give everything you got” Gabriel said as he descended but he was not alone.
Dean started crying as soon as he saw his father’s face.
Aaron lifted his chin up and looked him in the eye and spoke.
“Whatever happens, always remember that I am proud of you.”
“Now get back out there and show them who’s boss” Aaron said then he fades away.
“Until the path intertwines,” Gabriel said, then he glows so bright.
Dean then started hearing a twenty seconds countdown.
He opened his eyes and he felt overflowing mana coursing through his entire body.
“So, this is what Gabriel’s power feels like” Dean said then he heard a voice saying “Ah! It’s all yours.”
The countdown reaches the last ten seconds.
“Showtime” Dean said then he unleashes an overwhelming amount of power.
“Divine Aura Materialize” Dean said as he raises his hand then light particles form a different staff compared to the one he used earlier.
“Wow! My gear just got an upgrade.”
“Cool,” Dean said as he swung the staff around.
The countdown was over, and the demons spread their wings them burst straight in
Dean used his light magic to divert the attention of the two other demons. Making it easy for him to land a hit.
“Light creation magic: Holy Beacon” Dean casted then two towers rose from the ground.
The towers fire concentrated light magic beams.
“That should keep the two busy.”
“Now to finish this one” Dean said then he charges in
An angelic wing popped out of his back.
