Chapter 69

Quix and Sir Wayne were plunged in a fierce sword battle. They both glared at each other as they swung their swords at each other with all their might. They were equally matched in strength. They locked their swords and the ground beneath their feet cracked as they applied force.

Quix pushed Sir Wayne away, focused his gamarax on a dead kremis and threw it at Sir Wayne. Sir Wayne backed away in time only to see live vampires been thrown at him. Sir Wayne killed each and every vampire his sword came in contact with. Quix was visibly disgusted by what he had done.

"You creatures are a pitiful kind. May I tell you why you are going to lose this war?" Quix asked Sir Wayne.

"Oh please, enlighten me, all wise vice commander." Sir Wayne curtly replied with a sarcastic tone to his voice.

"Your poor leadership is what will cause your downfall. Just a moment ago, I threw your surbordinates at you and you didn't hesitate to kill them in order to protect yourself. Pathetic." Quix's words were met with a deep laugh.

Sir Wayne spread his arms apart and puffed his chest. "Those vampires you are so concerned about vowed an oath to lay down their lives for the Great One and the Day Walkers. They were more than happy to die by my sword just so I lose to you."

"The Day Walkers under the leadership of the Great One are the only hope left for all the vampires. We will not lose this war."

"I see." Quix replied with a blank look on his face. "It is a pity that you will not be able to see the victory of Dark Star."

Quix lunged at Sir Wayne but he back flipped into the air and vanished. Quix raised his eyebrow at the sudden disappearance. He activated his super vision and scanned the area for Sir Wayne but he didn't see him.

"A vampire from the Invisible clan ey? Is this how you intend to fight me? You are a coward." Quiz voiced out as he cautiously stayed alert.

Quix closed his eyes and listened carefully. He heard the roars of of the dragons and the clashes between the darkas gods and vampires. He picked up the noise the lizard monsters and kremis were making. Quix listened to the soft wind blowing around his ears. Suddenly, he heard a new sound coming from his left. It was the sound of flash steps.

When the sound was close, Quix blocked Sir Wayne's sword with his own and grabbed him by the neck. He then quickly choke slammed Sir Wayne to the ground. Sir Wayne lashed his sword hard at Quix and broke his armour. Quix let go of him and placed his hand on his bleeding chest. He could feel the venom creeping through his veins. Quix felt a little dizzy. Quix couldn't see Sir Wayne because he was still invincible. All he heard was his laughter.

"Say vice commander, I have heard about your tremendous and lightening speed in battle." Sir Wayne said in a voice that seemed to be echoing all around Quix.

"Yeah, what of it?" Quix asked Sir Wayne unenthusiastically. He was trying his best not to fall down.

"I too have a reputation for having tremendous speed. Why don't we see who is the fastest between us?" Sir Wayne boldly challenged Quix.

Quix did not respond to Sir Wayne's challenge but instead chose to remain silent. Sir Wayne attacked him and the two were once again plunged into a sword fight. To an on looker, they looked like two zigzag lightening striking each other. Sir Wayne was getting irritated with Quix's ability to block his attacks despite not been able to see him.

'Damn the super hearing of darkas gods! He is however a little slower due to his wound. If I hit him again on the same spot, he will not be able to take it.' Sir Wayne plotted.

Sir Wayne was on the defense. He patiently waited for an opening he desperately wanted. Then there it was! Quix made a wrong move and Sir Wayne hit him on his fresh wound. Blood poured out of Quix's mouth and Quix backed away. Quix stopped himself from falling to his knees by using his sword for support. He was in excruciating pain as he gasped for air. At this point, Sir Wayne made himself visible again. He grinned victoriously at Quix.

"I guess I am the fastest." He gloated.

Quix maintained his silence. He let go of his sword and tore off his upper armour with great difficulty. Sir Wayne jerked his eyebrow up at the pieces of armour on the ground. Quix faced him with a bloody bare chest. His abs were stained by his blood. Quix slowly pulled his sword out of the ground.

'Damn it, why the fuck is he still standing?' Sir Wayne scowled as he thought.

"What is the matter? Does it shock you so much that I am still standing?" Quix.

Sir Wayne said nothing but glare at Quix.

The fight between Waxx and Sean got intense as their fists collided. With every punch and kick, hills were wiped out. Waxx had a bleeding nose and broken ribs. Unfortunately for him, Sean was completely uninjured due to his new lava form.

Sean slammed Waxx to the ground and unleashed several punches at him before finally holding him down with his rocky hand. Waxx looked into the sockets were Sean's eyes once were, all he could see were flames. Sean stuck out a flaming tongue at Waxx.

"I really do like you Waxx. Things don't have to end this way." Sean pouted.

Waxx scoffed. "There's something about your tone that makes me almost want to believe you."

Sean leaned closer to Waxx. Waxx fidgetted at the sudden heat near his face. When Sean was close enough to Waxx's face, his rocky face broke to pieces and exposed his real face. Sean opened his mouth and Waxx saw a bright yellow light threatening to shoot.

"He is going to blow my head off! Fuck!"

The sound of steel on rock was heard when Waxx's scythe sliced Sean's head off his rocky body. Sean's head rolled away and halted. His real face was still on it. His eyes started searching for Waxx. They looked right at him when they found him. Much to Sean's satisfaction, Waxx was still been held down by his body.

"Wasn't that a bit much?" Sean rolled his eyes.

"I like to be dramatic sometimes." Waxx grinned at Sean.

"Well that's too bad. I was going to make your death quick but alas." Sean calmly said. "Good bye Waxx."

Sean's body turned into lava and poured on Waxx. Waxx groaned in pain. He jerked himself up and quickly caused a strong wind that blew the lava off of his body. His clothes were torn and they exposed his burnt flesh. Waxx shot a glance at Sean's head and his scythe appeared in his hands.

"It was fun." Sean said with a smirk.

Waxx chopped his head in half and it turned into lava. In silence, Waxx watched the lava sink into the ground. He turned and saw the lava that was Sean's body sink into the ground too.

Waxx collapsed to the ground. He was in excruciating pain but it didn't stop him from smiling at the clear blue sky. He felt the oxmaynatrifin slowly killing him like venom from a venomous snake.

Akirexer, Alex and Britney were trekking in the valley. Due to the scorching sun, Alex Jnr was crying uncontrollably despite Britney's efforts to keep him calm. Alex tried to help Britney but all his efforts went in vain. Akirexer frowned at their futile efforts. She didn't attempt to calm the baby down because she knew that it was pointless.

Alex saw the surviving members of his pack approaching them from afar. The alpha and lunar were still alive much to the relief of Alex and Britney. Suddenly, someone landed before them and caused sand to rise. Akirexer activated her sword and Alex shielded Britney and his son. The other werewolves started running towards them.

"Hello my dearest sisters." Escabitha cheerfully greeted Akirexer and Britney.

Britney held her baby close to her chest. She worriedly looked at Alex and Akirexer. She could feel their tension as they glared at Escabitha.

"You." was all Akirexer could say.

"Yes, it is I, your oldest sister. When I heard my baby crying, I didn't know that I was going to have a family reunion." Escabitha held her hips and pouted.

"What nonsense! What do you mean your baby?" Alex angrily asked Escabitha.

"My baby... My child." Escabitha simplified her statement. "Return him to me at once." Escabitha held out her hand.

"You fucking bitch." Britney growled. "You will never have my son! Over my dead body!"

"That can be arranged." Escabitha chuckled.

Escabitha took a step forward and Akirexer missed her with her sword.

"Don't you dare take another step." Akirexer grimly threatened Escabitha.

Escabitha smiled and took a step back with her hands up in surrender. "You don't have to be so cold Whitney. I promise you that I am just here for my baby. I assure you that I will leave after that."

"Alex, keep your guard up. There's something about her... a strange energy of some sort." Akirexer warned Alex.

"Yes, I can feel it too." Alex confirmed.

Escabitha flashed between Akirexer and Alex. She stood face to face with Britney. Britney was disgusted by her soulless eyes. Escabitha opened her mouth and her fangs appeared. Britney turned her back and Escabitha went for it. Before she could hurt Britney, Akirexer pulled her hair and threw her up into the sky. Escabitha back flipped and halted in midair. She looked down at them with a dark scowl. All three below felt tensed.

Suddenly, Escabitha's cold look turned bright with excitement. She squealed like a teenage girl and clapped her hands.

"He is coming!" She said.

"He is coming?" Alex was baffled.

"What is she talking about?" Britney was perplexed.

Queen Sharaina felt a familiar presence. Her eyes widened at the possibility. She refused to accept it but there was no denying it. Queen Sharaina walked back and forth in denial.

"Could it really be him? Was he behind everything? Was he the one who stole the Infinite medallion? How could I not have considered this possibility?"

A huge portal appeared up in the sky. It was at the center of the battlefield for all to see. Everyone stopped fighting and they gazed upon it. The vampires cheered while the darkas gods felt tensed.

Stepping out of the portal in a black robe was a tall old man. He stood in midair. His head was covered in a hood. In his hand was a walking stick. Escabitha disappeared before Akirexer, Alex and Britney. She reappeared before everyone. They looked at her bow down to the mysterious old man in midair.

The old man patted Escabitha with his walking stick. Queen Sharaina narrowed her eyes at the old man as he took the hood off his head. To her horror, Her suspicions were confirmed. The jaws of the Enchanted Seven dropped. All the darkas gods were shocked beyond belief.

"Meelzib... " Queen Sharaina scowled.
