My Space-Time System

619  Too brutal

While Valerius stood still and waited for death, Blake's eyes were pinned on Castiel's face as memories of their past adventures and interactions flashed through his mind. He was reminded of their first meeting, the fun and hard times they endured together, and finally their last meeting.

"I guess this is his fate," Blake muttered sadly.

Saying this, Blake shifted his attention to Luciano, who was still fighting. With the peak angel rank eagle dead and its corpse, knocked off the skies, Luciano was forced to take on Ebony alone, and he was taking a trashing of a lifetime.

Luciano's armour had been reduced to scrap as most of it had been torn to peices, and even then Ebony was still attacking relentlessly.

BANG!

Luciano was knocked back, leaving behind a claw-shaped wound on his chest from which fresh blood sipped out of it. Sensing Ebony was coming, Luciano gritted his teeth as he tried to move to the left, unfortunately, he was a tad bit slow.

Crack.

Luciano squinted in pain as he felt Ebony's fangs sinking into the flesh of his right arm and clutching his bone tight. With a single pull, Luciano's right arm was torn off, causing blood to squirt out of the wound while he hovered back.

"Argh!" Luciano let out a painful cry as he covered his wound with his right palm in a bid to slow down the bleeding.

His eyes let out a golden glow as a golden aura escaped his body, taking the shape of a barrier that acted as a shield while healing his wound simultaneously.

Swoosh!

Ebony's figure appeared in front of Luciano the next second, its eyes blazing with hostility as its paw descended from the heavens like thunder.

Boom!

The golden barrier shattered when met with Ebony's destructive power, leaving Luciano once again, defenceless. Standing beneath Ebony's descending palm, Luciano felt like a mountain was falling upon him. Without hesitation, he raised his hand over his head to defend, but it was useless.

Bang!

Like a fly swatted off the air, Luciano was hurled down to the city below, smashing into the city barrier and causing web-shaped cracks to appear where he hit.

Luciano wanted to move, but his limbs were so sore and his vision blurred due to the impact. He could barely lift his hands or legs, talk more of getting back to his feet. Luciano felt a warm liquid move up in his throat, causing him to cough up some blood, which splattered on his lips and nose since he was lying on his back.

His vision cleared up enough to see a scorching hurricane of flames descending from above. At first, he wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but after narrowing his eyes to improve his blurry vision, Luciano was shaken by what he saw.

In the heart of the swirling inferno, Ebony twirled fervently, unleashing rapid flames that merged seamlessly with the raging tempest. The fiery vortex intensified as the flames entwined with Ebony's rapid dance, growing in magnitude with each fleeting moment.

"Shit!" Luciano groaned painfully as he tried to move, but it was too late.

Boom!

The fiery tempest smashed into Luciano, creating a powerful shockwave and also causing the initial cracks on the barrier to spread to a wider area.

CRACK!

Luciano, on the other hand, was just a few steps away from Death'sembrace, his body had received severe burn injuries, and almost all of his bones had been shattered.

Luciano's breathing was heavy and noisy. It was clear that he was putting in much effort to breathe, and even then he could barely get enough oxygen.

Ebony stood proudly over the defeated prince, with one of its heavy paws on his chest to pin him down. It lowered its head and its eyes revealed cruelty as it bit into Luciano's left hand and ripped it off his body.

At this point, Luciano didn't make a sound, but his eyes revealed how much pain he was in. His body was already scorched, and his right hand had been lost not too long again. Right now, he was too physically and mentally weak to even cry out in pain. He could only lay there and watch in silence while hoping the suffering would end soon, however, Ebony had more plans for him as it sank its fangs into his waist and flung him into the air. Kicking itself off the barrier, Ebony launched itself into the air in pursuit of Luciano. Its body began twirling, creating another swirling fiery tempest as it climbed higher at a rapid pace.

Bang! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The fiery tempest smashed into Luciano, dragging him higher into the sky. Meanwhile, from above, Ivory descended while twirling violently, creating a frosty tempest. Boom!

Smashing into Luciano from behind, Luciano's body and his battered armour could not withstand the sheer power of the attacks and exploded.

Blood, flesh, and bits of Luciano's armour rained down on the barrier, leaving the observing civilians and soldiers below dumbstruck. They just witnessed the brutal end of a prince, creating an eerie silence across the capital.

Ebony and Ivory stood tall amid the silence and their murderous gazes shifted to Valerius who shuddered involuntarily. After witnessing Luciano's brutal demise, even he was shaken up mentally.

At this point, Valerius' body had shrunken considerably, and even then his life force kept surging out of him painfully. Against Blake's darkness, he was left helpless and could only accept his fate. However, he still believed he was still lucky when compared to Luciano, who was obliterated by Ebony and Ivory.

"Don't you think your pets are too brutal?" Valerius asked with a bitter smile.

"They are just reflecting the anger of their master," Blake said, with his disdain noticeable in his tone. "Now, it's your turn to bear their wrath!"

Saying this, Blake pulled out the Ember forge from Valerius' chest and kicked him away. He stood above and watched as Valerius fell from the skies while Ebony and Ivory greedily lunged at him.

AN: I have been sick for a few days now, and although I haven't fully recovered, I had to put out something.
