Sarah’s Side
“Why…Why me? What do they need from me?”
“Don’t step out of the Pure Field created by Sarah, Hershey!” Belladonna was in a heated clash against Blood-fang. “Alpha, why is Hershey relevant to all of this?!”
“If you give your body to me as an offering, I will definitely give you an answer, Warrior Angel!” The Alpha Patriarch greedily grinned while expressing his lusts for her.
The battle commenced as soon as we went to our respective positions. Belladonna and Hershey remained in the east to face off against Blood-fang, Beaux went north to face Adam Belmont who turned out be Leukeo the Special Vampire, Sr. Anastacia went west to face off against the Incubus of London, and I went here in the South… because of a gut feeling that I might face off Profano, the mastermind of all the vampire and the werewolf rebellion.
The people were all willing to fight alongside us and we were eternally grateful for their support. The Pure Field that I created to encapsulate as proved to be the best defense and offense against the influx of these naked Lustful Fanatics, werewolves, and vampires who were very eager to trample us down just to get to their main target, Hershey. For the longest time, the reason why the Evil Witch was very elusive wasn’t because of her reincarnation spell, it was because of her soul-swapping schemes. If Hershey was the only compatible vessel for her, then her life is indeed in danger.
We were able to fight them off and protect ourselves until help arrived.
The cavalry was able to enter the fortress… but not all of them…
Before even half of the forces were able to enter the fortress, Profano finally showed up to stop them from even progressing further. His claims as the most powerful wizard in this world weren’t at all just a talk of nonsense. He made a dark force field to stop those in surrounding Rome from getting inside the Vatican.
As soon as the force field was up, he ordered them to capture Hershey. There was one thing stopping him though…
I can never ever allow myself to be bested by another wizard… not until I say so…
“Southeast Asian Witch!” he exclaimed. “Your protective tiny barrier is still no match for my Dark Wall! I could easily take that barrier away to get what I want! So. I have a proposal… GIVE ME HERSHEY and I’ll let everyone live.”
“No, I won’t let you. I will never betray my friends!”
“You know nothing of betrayal dear~”
He no longer looked like the Cardinal-Bishop that I knew before. He wore a black tuxedo and wielded a baton decorated with a quartz gem that held his magical powers. Without warning, he gave me a taste of his power by waving his right hand. I was pushed back by an invisible force and made me move a few inches back. However, I wasn’t about to lose by some mere waving of hand. I deflected it to the Lustful Fanatics and blew them off.
“Did you feel that, dear Sarah?” He raised his baton, “What if I get to push you back using this?”
“Bring it on!!!” I prepared myself for his next move.
He made a light swing with his baton. Instead of hitting me, however, he hit the others blowing them away! He even hit the Lustful Fanatics fighting alongside him. Infuriated, I summoned out my staff and fired a powerful beam of laser at him!
*BOOM!!!*
From the thick dust and smoke, Profano emerged unscathed.
“Don’t say a word, I know what you’re going to say…” Profano grinned at me as the quartz gem from his baton emitted an eerie dark light. “This is how you fire a laser beam…”
A destructive wave of energy burst out through the baton and it was directed… not at my direction but at the Pure Field. He knew what he was doing… it was like chess. He knew that I had to intercept the blast directed to others, I got played. I rushed to block it with all my might. I tried to disperse the energy skyward to minimize the damaged. Sadly, I ended up just trying…
*BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*
*SHUDDER!*
*SHUDDER!!*
*SHUDDER!!!*
The explosion was felt by all of the fighters and the spectators on the battlefield. It caused the ground to vibrate and shake violently for a few seconds. There was a thick black smoke from where the impact took place. From the smoke, I emerged falling down into the cold floor full of burns and injuries…
*CRASH!!!*
“What happened over there?” Belladonna looked to my direction unaware of my fate.
“You should not take your attention away from your enemy!” Blood-fang delivered a massive kick!
“Angelic Shield!” Belladonna was quick to react and blocked herself before it hit her. She immediately went for a quick stab using her Angelic Blade, “TAKETHIS!”
“Not a chance!” The werewolf backed away from her. “You’re starting to irritate me!”
“You’ve been irritating me since the very beginning!” The warrior angel pointed her sword at him. “As I said, you’ll never get any sympathy from me…”
I should fight alongside them… but they wanted me to stay within Sarah’s magic circle… Hershey watched as Belladonna, the Vatican Crusaders, and the agents fought with all their might against the enemy forces. I want to fight… but if I get captured, my body will be used to restore the Evil Witch… I don’t know what to do!
“It looks like somebody bit the dust,” Leukeo the Special Vampire defended himself with a shield of blood clots, “Guess who’ll be next in line to bite it?”
“You!” Beaux reaped off the shield to get through to the vampire. “Carnivorous Vines!”
Snake-like vines wrapped around the vampire’s limbs and started to tear them apart! However, the vampire liquified himself into a pool of blood to escape the vines.
“As you can see, Special Vampires are users of the elements of nature. However, I have evolved further… They used to call me Vampour, the Water Vampire.”
“Who cares with your history?! I’m a cambion, daughter of an incubus, PERIOD! I don’t need your detailed history! All I need is to find a way to defeat you!” Beaux vented out her frustrations on the vampire. “If my plants won’t work against your menstrual powers, then maybe this will!!!” She raised her arms upwards, “ELECTRO MAGIC DELUXE: BLUE JET!!!”
“High-level magic?!” Leukeo braced himself for the strike of lightning by blocking himself with a lot of blood clots. “I’m not afraid!”
He was duped. Beaux electrically charged herself with the magic power and zoomed at the unsuspecting vampire. Realizing his mistake, Leukeo tried to shift his shield downwards. Unfortunately for him, Beaux was lightning fast! She zoomed through a lot of vampires in her path.
*CRACKLE!!!*
*BOOM!!!*
*CRASH!!!*
Leukeo was deep-fried to crisp! The so-called Vampour never stood a chance against the high-level magic of Beaux Steinfeld. If I saw that, I would be the proudest master ever. I taught her that move after all! This wasn’t the time to celebrate though… Even with the humans cheering for their victory in the northern part, Beaux flew off to the south to save me…
As for me, I was lucky to have stayed conscious after the explosion. I healed myself using my signature Pure Magic and showed Profano that it would take more than that to kill me!
“So you survived that,” Profano applauded me, “Good for you! You’re the second one to survive against my Dark Laser. You should be proud… and you should be praying… PRAY THAT YOU SHOULD’VE BEEN KILLED BY THE FIRST SHOT!”
“HOLY MAGIC DELUXE,” I planted my staff in the ground and started to invoke my magical powers, “PURE FIELD 2.0!”
The range of the magic circle that I created quadrupled in size and weakened all of the enemies within its perimeter. Profano immediately backed away from the area if purity. With that skill alone, I was able to push them away. I probably helped Sr. Anastacia and Belladonna in their areas of responsibility too.
“I did not see that coming…” The dark wizard tried touching my force field. “It looks like you are on the verge of losing consciousness though… Tiring, isn’t it?”
“It’s worth it…” I glared at him while panting. “At least, we’re winning…”
“Master!” Beaux finally arrived. She immediately tended to my unhealed wounds, “I knew it! You were the one at the receiving end of that explosion…”
“Whenever I get the chance to protect someone, I always come to their aid.” I beamed cheerfully at her. “That’s the mastermind over there…by the way…”
The evil mastermind tilted his head to the left and greeted her, “Hello, I believe we haven’t met… I am Profano.”
“Beaux Steinfeld,” my apprentice replied. She glanced at me, “I’ll take it from here, master… you can have your rest.”
“Be careful, Beaux, that wizard is such a b***h…”
“I got it, master…”
“That’s right, back off demonic being!” Sr. Anastacia yelled at the Incubus of London. “Thanks to Sarah, I can heal all my wounds.”
“Goddamn that witch!” the incubus cussed. “You were minutes from death, halfling!”
“GOD IS GOOD!” The nun grinned. “You may have gotten the upper hand a while ago but this time, it will be different! I already saw and memorized the patterns of your attacks! Let’s do this… Round 3!”
The incubus just stood by. IF he entered the magic circle, his powers would surely weaken. The best option he could think of was to wait for the nun to come out of the magic circle. He finally realized that he was at a great disadvantage…
“If you’re so eager then get out of the magic circle and face me fairly!”
“This is fair, demon!” Sr. Anastacia pointed towards the darkened sky. “You have your own barrier, why can’t we have one for us?”
“If that b***h’s barrier disappears, I’ll make you eat my d**k!!!”
“Futile effort… I’ll give you a B+ for your effort… not bad for an apprentice.” Profano applauded Beaux. “At least you have that barrier to protect you~ non?”
Beaux tried her best but he was just far too strong for her. However, I was able to rest for about as long as I can… and for the record, that was Beaux’s plan from the very beginning… to get me to rest for even just for a bit. I stood up and went to Beaux’s side.
“I guess it’s time for another round…” I cracked my fists. “Let’s do this Beaux, together!”
“Two against one? This handicap match means nothing to me.” Profano grinned, “I would appreciate it much more if the two of you would surrender and be my s*x slaves~”
Ignoring his dirty talks, Beaux and I held hands together as we aimed our wand and staff at the fallen angel hybrid.
A soaring burst of positive energy filled the entire area generating great power.
In unison, both of us invoked, “COMBINATION X!!!”
Shot like a cannon, the great power was expelled towards the prideful enemy. He wanted to have a go at our combined attack creating a powerful blast of dark energy to counter it. What he wasn’t able to realize was that the attack can be shot twice! When we fired the second cannon, things went haywire for him and…
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*
*SHUDDER!*
*SHUDDER!!*
*SHUDDER!!!*
Just like his previous attack that almost took me out, it generated a powerful explosion accompanied by a violent shaking of the ground.
When the dust settled, he was on his knees and his baton was destroyed while his right hand was terribly injured.
“That felt good!” Beaux collapsed down to her knees as well. “I need to take mana potions to regain my pool of magic…”
“Yep, you were outstanding and you made me proud, Beaux,” I then turned my attention towards the villain. “As for you…”
“A JOB WELL DONE!”
One of the Antarctic Sanctuary Councilmen, Master Cofagel, came down from the sky and congratulated us.
“I’m sorry… I was late… but at least I got to see that kind of spectacle.”
“Master Cofagel! You made it!” I was happy to see him as he approached the enemy. “So you were able to make it before his black barrier covered the fortress!”
“We’re saved now! We did it!” Beaux happily cheered.
“Good work out there… MY SON.”
It suddenly dawned to me… he wasn’t talking to us… He was talking to Profano all this time…
(Seriously, Master Cofagel was like a side character who was just working on the ‘sidelines’… in the Antarctic Sanctuary!)
“Wait…” I raised my staff. “He’s your son?”
“Ah yes, Sarah, it’s not that I was able to make it before he covered this fortress with his barrier… It’s just that he waited for the moment that I got inside.” Cofagel gave us a grim smile on his face. “Everything was going according to plan for me and I never bothered the minor details. You see, I still cooperated by keeping the identities of our precious agents from my own son and his men. You know I was also behind the fact that you are here.”
“What are you talking about?” I moved back into the magic circle with Beaux.
“HERSHEY is just PLAN B.” He raised his right hand…
“Plan B for the soul-swapping?” For a moment, I got confused. I didn’t seem to catch where he was taking the conversation… not until I realized… “Then, Plan A is…”
“SOUTHEAST ASIAN WITCH SARAH is PLAN A,” He snapped his fingers…
THE ENTIRE MAGIC CIRCLE, THE PURE FIELD, DISAPPEARED…
