Speed Is King

“He’s here.” Rak’Tharos said.

Two hours had passed quietly for them both, and the moment they had been waiting for was finally upon them.

Jennifer opened her eyes slowly and looked at the sky in anticipation.

She had been looking forward to the moment where she could see her brother and her sister slowly appear in the distance to save her for so many nights already.

And now that the moment was finally at hand, she really can’t wait!

However, her eyes instantly widened in surprise the moment she opened them.

Elliot and Jessica…

They were already standing in the sky not far from her!

And by the Gods, what a sight they were for sore eyes! Literally and figuratively.

Glorious black wings of flames spread out magnificently from behind Jessica, and the power that emanated from her was unmistakably at the King level. In fact… it had a strangeness to it that made Jennifer suspect she would be able to fight against even Emperors!

She looked really, really impressive. And the look on her face…

Jennifer couldn’t help but give a heartbroken sob when she saw it.

On her face was a myriad of emotions and tears were flowing freely down her cheeks.

Guilt. Yearning. Joy. Excitement. Determination. Supreme confidence.

And above all… love.

Twins had a closeness in their relationship that other people will find difficult to understand. And for that relationship to be ripped apart the way it was under such painful circumstances was truly… agonizing for them.

But past agony brings intense passion to present reunion.

And Jessica’s feelings were completely overflowing! It was clear that she had been waiting for that moment to arrive almost every waking second!

Jennifer sobbed loudly.

Oh how she had missed Jessica! And very apparently, she had missed her very, very much too!

However, Jessica wasn’t the main character of the rescue mission.

It was Elliot.

If Jessica’s appearance made her sob with emotion, then Elliot’s made her break down completely and cry.

On his face was one expression, and one alone.

Fury!

The burning anger of a brother completely pissed off that his beloved sister was forced to commit suicide!

The righteous wrath of a brother who had his sister kidnapped right in front of his eyes!

The brilliance of Jessica’s glorious black wings of flames was completely muted by the vast and aggressive aura of bloodlust that Elliot was giving out.

Torrents of powerful energy were rolling off his body like massive blasts of volcanic eruptions.

The whole world, the very fabric of nature seemed to react to his anger and tremble in fear.

Her big brother had arrived to rescue her!

“Hahaha! You’re here! And what wonderful aura you’re giving out, boy. Its… delicious!” Rak’Tharos shouted with exhilaration as he too released his own torrent of billowing Emperor level aura that was no less fierce than Elliot’s!

“Come! Let me have a taste of your…”

WHAM! CRACK!

Before he could even finish his words, a vicious punch had already landed on his face! And by the loud crack that sounded, Rak’Tharos just had his nose broken!!

“GAAAHHH!! YOU BROKE BY DOSEEE?!” Rak’Tharos roared in anger! Immediately, a hundred Golden Fangs appeared behind him and attacked Elliot at point blank range!

B-B-B-B-BAM!!

All hundred Golden Fangs smashed into Elliot at almost the same time.

However, Elliot simply cast Blessings of the Wolf Goddess which made him completely impervious to magical damage for ten seconds, and ignored the Golden Fangs!

He took all of the Golden Fangs and calmly continued to punch out at Rak’Tharos.

“Ibperbioud do magic? Den dry did!” Rak’Tharos suddenly tripled in size to reach almost ten meters in height and his scaly skin hardened into a beautiful golden colour.

The fearsomeness of his aura multiplied several times over!

GRAAAHHHHH!!!!

He let out a roar of pure ferocity and began to exchange blows with Elliot.

A ten meter giant exchanging punches with a two meter tall young man? It would be laughable if the results weren’t so readily apparent.

WHAM!!

BAM!!

BAM!!

BAMM!!

Elliot casted Blessings of the Wolf God which made him completely immune to physical damage for ten seconds and pummeled the much larger Rak’Tharos to the ground!

“Impossible! Physical immunity as well?” Rak’Tharos shouted in indignance. His transformation had fixed his broken nose, and he was able to speak normally again. But sadly for him, Elliot seemed to hate his face with a passion, because all of his punches were focused exclusively on it, and he soon broke his nose once more!

BAM! CRACKK!!

“ARGH!!!”

Elliot continued to punch him with a vengeance!

One full powered punch after another landed on his face very relentlessly and with a measured slowness that showcased his supreme confidence and gave vent to his bellyful of rage.

Bit.

By.

Bit.

Each of Elliot’s punches was infused with a generous dose of Darklight energy which allowed him to break through Rak’Tharos’ Emperor level energy with unparalleled ease.

Much like the overused but still accurate cliche – like a hot knife through butter.

Rak’Tharos roared angrily and tried to push Elliot away, but to his great horror, he realized that he couldn’t make Elliot move even a tiny inch!

The strange power that Elliot was giving out had turned into a ferocious and very life-like red dragon above him which was staring coldly at him.

An immeasurable might coming out of his eyes was pressing down on him and somehow was able to completely lock up his movements!

BAM!!

“Whad de hedd!”

BAM! CRACK!!

Another bone on his face broke.

“AARGH!!”

BAM!!

“Why are you do dlong!”

BAM!

“Ged de buck obb be!”

BAM! CRACK!!

“ARGHHH!!”

Each punch represented many, many long hours of agony and anger!

And even though they were delivered in complete silence, the huge amount of pleasure that each punch brought to Elliot’s heart was truly a much anticipated and long awaited happening.

It would be a complete waste if Rak’Tharos were to die too quickly!
