Seal of Light - Enlightened

Chapter 15: XIV. Even Heroes Fall Sometimes

Everybody waited for the aftermath of the clash. The fog of war revealed the silhouette of an angel with

a pair of broken wings, motionlessly standing.

As the dust finally settled down, a black ki-blade was seen torching in front of the angel’s chest.

Another one just came out of her belly, both pierce came from behind. Kei’See was lifted up by this

emotionless foe using the blades that were struck to her body.

“I-I am sorry Mat Adam, really I am, I have failed our cause,” the angel said on a much weakened

voice.

A strong black whirlwind like force spurred from Sieg’s body, trying to burn the lifted angel.

Kei’See squeezed her eyes shut, exhaling a roaring cry of surrender.

Everyone sighed in their grief.

Something inside Summer stirred. She stood, breathing heavily, a white flash lit her eyes followed by

the sudden bright glow of her seal.

“You have rested enough Mat Adam, if you are the chosen one, live and finish the mission.”

Like a charge of electricity, Summer glowed as she touched the hands of Mat, doubling the amount of

instilling life force being transferred to him.

Sieg dropped Kei’See and left her for dead as he performed several consecutive quick leaps rushing to

Mat’s direction.

Rigs stood in between and prepared with a defensive stance.

Willow quickly followed and left Jimmy, who was somehow relieved by her minimal knowledge of

healing and regeneration skills.

Rigs used his ki-whip to maneuver to his advantage. He intercepted Sieg and initiated their brawl.

“This has to end now, I have to stand up for the team,” Rigs said as he controlled his ki-whip and

strangled it to Sieg.

Rigs landed a quick elbow followed by a roundhouse. Each attack’s strength and power is tripled by his

seal, powerful enough to deal damage to a demon opponent. Every chance of a meter long space

clearance allowed Rigs to cast his ki-whip and slash it hard to his opponent.

Rigs finally unleashed his core strength combined with his seal’s power. Sieg was able to dodge some

of the ki-whip’s slash but more of it came and hit him hard as Rigs took full control of their fight. The

whip cracked more than several times in an instant, punishing the opponent and sending him on to his

knees.

Rigs tried to perform a space clearing ritual on Sieg’s body to cast out Casus’Lucem.

“Be gone demon, let this body receive the blessing of freedom and healing!”

Sieg, who was still on his knees, made a hard laugh mocking Rigs.

“You have no right or authority to do such thing, because you are weak, right Rigs?” Sieg mockingly

said with the Demon lord’s eerie voice.

Rigs erupted in anger and almost turned his whole body into light form. He made a high jump then

spins his body to fully wind his ki-whip slash to Sieg.

Sieg almost lost his arms as he parry and block Rigs’ rapid simultaneous assault to him.

But Casus’Lucem is a no low-level, ordinary demon. He is a Demon lord. It would take more than Rigs’

effort to stop him.

Sieg was hit by this very strong attack but he survived. He stood up and made his counter attack

against Rigs.

After another several exchange of quick blows, Sieg dashed forward leaving Rigs lying unconscious on

the ground.

Rigs failed to stop him and now he suffered the consequence of his attempt to stop the Demon lord.

Summer turned about, standing side by side with her younger cousin Willow. They readied themselves

for the anticipated attack.

“Cover me Summer, I will do offense, try to heal me as I engage so I can stay long in battle.” Willow

said

Summer nodded.

Sieg disappeared after performing another consecutive quick leaps.

Both Summer and Willow moved back closer to Mat’s body. The young ladies braced their selves. With

a blink of an eye. Both Sieg’ski-blade pierced Willow and Summer’s bodies, extending the half meter

long tip on their back. novelbin

“Sorry Summer, I did my…” Willow said, but was not able to continue due to the pain she was having

from the blade that was struck to her.

Summer tried to extend her hand, still wanted to give a final try on reviving Mat. "Mat, please wake

up..."

Dark clouds started to circle above them. Like those who carry a heavy storm in it. Sieg grinned as he

prepares to lower the bodies of his new victims.

“It is over. I just had to prolong this to allow me to awaken and flex my sore limbs. But it is still a

mismatch, even with all your powers combined. You all stand no chance against me. Now, I shall use

this young man’s body to bring myself to the human realm. This is my key out of this pris..”

Just before Sieg finished his thought, A huge mass of light beam passed thru, entering his chest and

exiting on his back. It happened within half of a second.

“No, how could this hap…” A growling sound was heard as Sieg’s body fell almost lifeless on the

ground.
