Cursed Convergence

In The Aftermath Of The Heated Confrontation Between Selene,Deimos And Azreal The City Of Sorcerers Stood Unaware Of The Brewing Storm Beyond Its Veil, Meanwhile Jason And Aria Sense An Immense Surge Of Selene's Soul Energy Outside Of The City's Protective Barrier.

Jason(Tense): Something's Happening… This Energy Is Off The Charts.

Narration:Jason Seem's To Not Know Whose Energy Readings He's Picking Up But Why Does Aria Know?

Aria(Thinking): Jason Doesn't Know This Is Selene's Energy?

Aria's Left Arms Heavenly Seals Are Pulsating With Divine Energy As Her Eyes Are Lit Up With A Heavenly Glow.

Aria(Thinking/Looking Around): I… I Can Feel Everything And Hear Everything.

Aria Is Suddenly Able To Feel And Hear Everything Around Her And Apparently Even Things Going On Outside Of The City.

Meanwhile In Another Corner Of The City In A Small Apartment We See Melantha Who Also Feels The Massive Surge Of Soul Energy.

Melantha(Mischievous): Look's Like The Shows About To start. Time For Me To Do What I Do Best.

Melantha Then Gets Her Sorceress Attire On And Leaps Out Flys Out Of The Window And Leaves Outside The City, Meanwhile In The Forest We Cut Back To Selene And Deimos's Battle With Azreal.

Where Selene Injects The Elixer Of Invulnerability Into Her Shouder As Her Eyes Get A Red Hue.

Selene Then Makes A Hand Sign, Then The Curse Mark She Placed Onto Azreals Heart Starts Glowing An Ominous Red Hue As Azreals Heart Then Starts Pounding Rapidly To Which It Then Explodes As Azreal Dies.

Blood Splatters Onto Selene's Face And She Then Wipes It Off.

Selene(Telepathically): Lord Moros, It Is Done.

Moros(Impressed): Good, Report Back.

Selene(Telepathically): Let's Go.

Looking Down We Can See Selene's Hands Shaking As This Is The First Time She Has Killed Someone, Deimos Notices This.

Deimos(Menacingly): Still Have A Spot In Your Heart For The Humans?

Selene(Serious): I Said Lets Go!

Deimos(Angered): I Don't Take Orders From You Woman.

Selene(Annoyed): You'd Do Well To Remember Who It Is Your Talking To.

As The Two Argue Melantha Then Arrives To The Now Destroyed Forest Ready To Complete Her Mission To Kill Selene.

Deimos(Menacingly): And Who Do You Think You Are?

Melantha(Serious/Smirking): Huh? Didn't Expect To Be Killing Two, But I Guess I'd Be Easier That Way. There Are A Couple Less Demons To Worry About.

Selene Narrows Her Eyes, And Her Hand Instinctively Reaching For Her Sword On Her Waist.

Selene(Menacingly): It's Very Stupid Of You To Challenge The Both Of Us Knowing You Don't Stand A Chance In Hell.

As The Tension Escalates Deimos Rushes Toward Melantha, Fueled By Agression.

Deimos(Menacingly): Die!

Just Before Deimos Reaches Melantha Time Slows Down As Does Deimos Then Burst Of Thunder Echo Through The Forest, Thunder Hits The Ground As Jay Then Arrives Via His Thunder-Blink Technique And Uses His Gravity Surge Technique To Blow Back Deimos.

Jay(Cocky): Don't Go Rushing Off On Your Own Mel.

Melantha(Amused): Well Look Who Decided To Join The Party.

Melantha(Playful): Didn't Think You Were Man Enough To Come Here, Thought You Would Stay In The City And Cower In Fear With Your Tail Between Your Legs.

Jay(Joking): And Miss All The Fun? Please.

Then As The Battle Begins Selene Focus's Transforms Into Her Angel-Demon Hybrid Form.

Jay(Analyzing): This Is From When She Fought Against Jason.

Selene Then Uses Her Dark Tendrils To Attack Melantha As Melantha Quick And Agile Dodges With Swift Movements Countering With Burst Of Soul Energy Blasts.

Selene(Cold): Such Inferior Abilities Won't Save You.

Melantha(Playful/Taunting): Really? They've Gotten Me This Far.

Melantha(Mocking): Let's See You Catch Me First.

Melantha Then Dashes To Another Part Of The Forest As Selene Then Follows Behind.

Meanwhile Jay And Deimos Begin Their Battle…

Jay Begins To Unravel The Anti-Magic Bandages On His Face To Release The Limiter On His Power.

Jay(Serious): Alright, Let's Go!

Jay And Deimos Then Clash Fist Which Causes A Massive Explosion As The Two Look At Each Other Dead In The Eyes Then The Two Back Away Quickly, Deimos Then Focuses His Chaos Energy To His Throat And Lets Out A Massive Breath Of NetherFire As Jay Summons A Magic Barrier But The NetherFire Breaks Through The Barrier And Almost Reaches Jay But Jay Quickly Dodges.

Jay(Serious/Thinking): What Was That Attack Just Now?

Jay(Serious/Thinking): That Fire Managed To Break Through My Barrier, I Gotta Watch Out For It The Next Time He Uses It.

Jay Then Slows Down Time As He Then Dashes Towards Deimos And Lands A Barrage Of Punches Which Makes Deimos Cough Up Blood, Jay Then Picks Deimos Up And Launches Him Into The Sky As He Then Aims His Hand Up Toward Him And Closes His Fist As Deimos Explodes.

Deimos Then Reappears Behind Jay.

Deimos(Cocky): Is That All You've Got Sorcerer?

Deimos Then Plants His Hand Into The Ground As He Sends A Massive Shockwave Through The Area To Which He Then Summons His False Reality As The World Around Them Turn Bloodshot Red.

Deimos(Cocky): Welcome To My World.

Deimos Then Flys Into The Sky And Teleports Behind Jay And Puts His Hands Around His Head To Put Him In Some Kind Of Trance.

Deimos(Menacing): Face All Of Your Fears And Doubts.

The World Around Jay Turns Pitch Black As He Then Sees An Illusionary Vision Of Jason Getting Killed In Front Of Him.

Deimos(Ominous): Your Precious Students Whom You Hold Precious Will Eventually Die, While You Their Teacher Is Unable To Do Anything.

Jay(Cocky): You Think Some Sorry Ass Illusions Are Gonna Beat Me?

The Vision Then Shifts To Show Jay A Vision Of Aria Being Killed By Jason Who Is Possessed By Malum.

Deimos(Ominous/Chilling): What Are You Gonna Do When Lord Malum Takes Over Your Student's Body Permanently And Kills Those Closest To You?

Deimos(Ominous/Chilling): Will You Be Able To Kill Him When It Comes To That? 

Jay(Annoyed): You Gonna Keep Stalling Or Are You Gonna Come Out And Fight?

We Can See That The Visions And Deimos Are Starting To Get In Jay's Head But Jay Is Trying His Best To Resist And Not Listen.

Jay(Thinking): What If What He's Saying Is True? If Malum Possesses Jason Will I Be Able To Kill Him?

Deimos(Menacing/Chilling): But You See… You Having To Kill One Precious To You Can Be Avoided If You Just Hand Over Jason To Us.

Jay(Serious): Just Come On Out And Fight Me.

Deimos(Menacing): Let's Take A Dive Into Your Mind, There's So Much To See In Here.

Meanwhile On The Other Side Of The Forest Melantha And Selene Continue Their Battle Against Each Other.

Melantha(Taunting): C'mon Show Me What You've Got.

Selene Catches Melantha Off Guard Then Flys Toward Melantha And Stabs Her Through The Heart.

Selene(Arrogant): Huh? I Expected More From You.

Selene Then Releases A Surge Of Dark Energy And Disintegrates Melantha Into Ashes And Then Recives A Call.

Morthos(Telepathically): Selene Where Are You And Deimos?

Selene(Serious): Apologizes, Got Caught Up By Melantha.

Moros(Shocked): Melantha? What Happened?

Selene(Coldly): She Tried To Interfere With Me And Deimos But I Have Just Disposed Of Her.

Moros(Menacing): Killing Two Birds With One Stone.

Moros(Menacing): Now Head Back… So We Can Discuss Our Next Plan To Kill The Grand Elder.

Selene(Serious): Yes Sir!

Selene Then Walks Off As She Then Feels An Eerie Energy Behind Her As She Then Looks Back With A Shocked Look On Her Face.

Melantha(Playful): Leaving So Soon?

Selene The Attempts To Pull Her Sword Out But Before She Could She Realizes Her Sword Isn't In Her Holster As Melantha Is Holding It.

Melantha(Menacingly): Missing Something?

Melantha Then Appears On Selene's Back And With Her Brute Strength Rips Selene's Wings Off Her Back.

Melantha Then Grabs Selene By Her Head And Pounds Her Head Into The Ground, Selene Then Responds By Placing Her Hand Onto Melantha's Face And Forcing Her Dark Energy Into Melantha's Brain Causing Her Head To Explode.

Selene Then Stands Up Looking Down At Melantha's Body.

Melantha(Playful): Is She Dead?

Selene's Eyes Widen As She Looks Back To See Melantha.

Melantha(Playful): Thought You Got Me Didn't You?

Selene Then Jumps Back.

Selene(Thinking): What The Hell Is She? I Killed Her Twice And She Keeps Coming Back!

Selene(Thinking): What Is Her Technique.

Selene Then Remembers Her Conversation With Moros About Selene From Chapter 21.

*Flashback*

Moros(Ominously): And Don't Underestimate Her, Her Abilities Are Unknown And Her Fighting Style Is Cunning.

Moros(Ominously): Never And I Mean Never Let Your Guard Down Around Melantha.

*Flashback Ends*

Selene(Thinking): So This Is What He Meant.

Selene(Thinking): I Have To Prolong The Battle And Analyze And Figure Out Her Techniques.

Melantha(Ominous/Cunning): Something Wrong? You Seem Nervous.

*Narration: What Are Melantha's Techniques?

And How Is She Still Alive After Fighting Selene?
