Soul Eater

Calamity Omen Moan

A hint of fear in Gladio's heart arose, the huge clumps of clouds were scary enough to be looked at continuously. "What is he going to do with that black cloud?"

Kakuero gave a smile and a smirking look, all of these were signs of impending evil. Gladio could only silently watch this, the man's bad intentions were clearly felt by him.

“Fulgur! Perde Omnia!”

In high speed a flash of light approached Gladio.

Kaboom!!!

Exploding lightning struck Gladio, a huge wave appeared as a result of the explosion. The strong wind that came was the embodiment of the skill's power.

“Hehehe… is he dead or not?” Kakuero smirked, he really wanted to see Gladio's body that had been charred or turned to ashes from his attack. "What?!"

Surprisingly, right in front of Kakuero's eyes, the man was still standing straight while giving him a sharp glare.

"Arrgh!" Gladio stared at his right hand, it was throbbing painfully. He groaned very loudly, the sound coming out like a dragon roaring.

"Uh..." Kakuero is stunned to see what happened to Gladio. "Has he lost control of himself?"

"I will kill!" Gladio's eyes turned red, he smirked at Kakuero. "I'll kill you!"

Whoosh!

Fast like lightning he sped off, his right hand stretched, each finger a sharp nail ready to tear the skin.

Things!

Kakuero managed to withstand the attack, the pressure that was given by Gladio was very strong it took a lot of strength to be able to hold it.

“Damn, this human really has lost consciousness!”

“Groagh!” Gladio then let out a loud groan which pushed Kakuero very far.

Kakuero already feels challenged, he seems to be belittled by Gladio. “I see, you think that I am a creature that you can defeat?” Kakuero's special energy channeled into his blade. The sword was shrouded in a blue colored energy stream, a powerful aura emanating from the sword. "I'll prove that you've chosen the wrong opponent!"

Gladio growled, his eyes so sharp as if he wanted to immediately pounce on Kakuero's body. The atmosphere became silent, they gave each other sharp glances. The atmosphere there was filled with radiance of great energy.

Whoosh!

Then in a few moments they were speeding towards each other, high speed used. The battle at high speed was going on, they continued to give attacks. No matter what happened they would still attack.

Gladio clenched his fists, Kakuero prepared for Gladio's attack.

Things!

The heavy blow was blocked by Kakuero's sword, but it required a lot of strength and energy. Just one hit is already so powerful. Kakuero couldn't imagine what would have happened had he not resisted the attack, in a few moments Kakuero was thrown back again.

Gladio's attack had indeed been blocked, but that didn't mean he would just stand still, as soon as a high-powered energy was released. The damage that Kakuero takes is quite large, some of his body feels like it's being burned by fire.

Gladio clenched his fist then he opened it towards Kakuero. “Ignis Fremitus Exarsit!” A huge burst of fire shot out and accelerated towards Kakuero.

"Uh? Tch… Muri Tenebrarum!”

The wall of darkness managed to fend off Gladio's blazing fire attack. Kakuero took the opportunity, he slipped from behind the flames that had not completely disappeared. The sword swings very fast.

Things!!!

It did hit Gladio's body, but the sword broke. Gladio's hand was too hard so that the sword that Kakuero was using broke, the material structure of the two things was too different. The hard skin that fused into Gladio's body had become a savior.

Gladio opened his palm then said, “Ignis Interitus!”

Kakuero didn't have time to move more, he had to be willing to be hit by the fire that Gladio released. His body was devoured by the fierce flames, ordinary creatures would immediately die from the attack, but Kakuero was still able to stand even though his whole body felt so hot, he persisted even though his legs and arms seemed to be touching coals of fire.

“Ultimate Exitium!” Kakuero spontaneously plunged his sword.

Kaboom!!!

A huge explosion to once again appear, the explosion engulfs them both. Everything around became flat. In the few seconds that passed, the atmosphere became deserted with a large crater left behind.

Kakuero knelt down, the explosion of his skill was the worst way to save himself. Even though he managed to escape from Gladio's attack, he still had to get a lot of damage. He had thought all the calculations rather than having to die alone it was better to use a force that would give the opponent a loss. The plan worked, Gladio seemed not there, the atmosphere was very quiet, even the energy that radiated from Gladio's body was not detected anymore.

“Heh… can it be said that I already won?”

It was too soon for Kakuero to say that, just a few seconds after he said Gladio suddenly appeared behind him.

Crash!!!

Gladio's fingers were pressed together and moved at high speed. Kakuero is shocked when he realizes that his body has been successfully pierced by one of Gladio's deadly attacks.

“W-What? How could he attack me?” He slowly turned his head towards the back, the man was looking at him very sharply. Kakuero got chills when he saw it.

“Conflandum!”

“W-What? How could he attack me?” He slowly turned his head towards the back, the man was looking at him very sharply. Kakuero got goosebumps when he saw it.

“Confandum!”

"Arrgh!" Kakuero's body began to emit a very significant reaction. "What's this? Why can't I feel all my senses?” Slowly his whole body turned to dust. He then felt that all his strength began to be absorbed into Gladio's body.

Kakuero vanishes instantly in front of Gladio. Gladio felt in his body energy flowing very fast. "Arrgh!" Moaning at him like a monster that had just won a match.

"Huh?" The voice was heard by someone wearing caps. He got shiver when heard the scream. "What was that?"

Gladio came back to his senses after the fight, he stared at the palm of his right hand. “Hmm… what exactly did I just do?” Remembered himself when he fought against Kakuero. "I felt emotions explode in my body, I don't understand why this is happening, but why did I enjoy the fight so much earlier?" Gladio's soul continued to tempt him to continue fighting against a strong enemy.

In the Celestial Realm there was already a very great shock. They were really shocked when they heard a strong moan that suddenly appeared, all over the body shivered with fear.

“This can't be… he survived Helios' attack!” Zeradas became very frightened, the screams he heard were like trumpets indicating that death was only a matter of time. "What should I do? Do I have to take immediate action and fight it immediately?”

“Master Zeradas!” Helios immediately faced him soon as he realized that his task had failed.

“You, Helios…” Zeradas growled when he saw the man's face. "Now can you take responsibility for what happened?"

"Well! I came here to be responsible!” answered Elis firmly.
