Cherreads

Chapter 52 - Chapter 52: Atlas

In the destroyed city the sun shines on the ruined buildings. A massive red portal covered in blood opens up, and Kaya walks out of it. Her eyes widened in shock, seeing Jade, Nicole and Testarossa all injured. Swiftly she rushed over to Nicole and Jade; blood came out of her hands, creating a massive pool of blood around them. The blood started healing Jade and Nicole slowly. Kaya spoke in a worried tone, "These injuries are severe." Suddenly snow started falling from the sky. Kaya felt a familiar presence coming towards her; she turned her head and saw Nova appear next to her. Nova walked up to the spatial rift; she took a deep breath, and freezing cold air came out of her mouth, revealing the seal to the nether realm. Nova spoke in a calm tone: "It looks like this seal is made out of something extremely powerful; it feels like an endless flame blocking our path to the realm." Kaya shouted at Nova, saying, "We have injured people here. Can you focus and give me a hand?" Nova walked over to Kaya and started assisting her. Meanwhile, Testarossa woke up; she was covered in fallen debris. A massive flame came out of her body and burnt all the debris to ashes. She slowly made her way to others; her eyes suddenly widened seeing Jade and Nicole badly hurt. It frustrated Testarossa. She said in a saddened voice, "Once again I failed to protect the people I care about." She clenched her fist as blood started leaking from her hand; the air in the atmosphere started to heat up. Suddenly a flaming card appeared in front of Testarossa's face; the card was an Arcane. She has been carrying this card for a long time. The card had a picture of a skull and tentacles with the writing "Flaming Atlas". She placed her hand out and touched the card, then... Everything around her went black. Testarossa looked in all directions and saw nothing but a black emptiness. Then a massive screeching started coming from directly behind Testarossa. As she turned around, her eyes were in shock. She saw a massive skull-like being with huge arms. Testarossa sensed a massive amount of mana coming from this creature. She said, "What are you?" The creature spoke in a deep tone: "I am Flaming Atlas, the elder that resides within this arcane." Before Testarossa could speak, Atlas said, "You wish to seek revenge on those who hurt your allies." Testarossa stood in there in shock; it's like Atlas was able to read her mind. Testarossa then said, "Why don't you help me with our power? We will burn them all to ashes." Atlas had a massive grin across its face before saying, "Fine, let's see if you are able to handle my power." Everything around them turned to normal before a massive gateway opened behind Testarossa; skeleton-looking arms grabbed Testarossa's face as Atlas showed itself. Nova and Kaya looked in shock before Atlas spoke: "This will hurt." A massive flame engulfed Testarossa's body. As she screamed in pain, she grabbed onto the spatial rift, burning the seal down to dust. The rift opened up to the nether realm; Testarossa fell to her knees. Atlas whispered into her ear, "Good work. I am yours to command." He suddenly vanished as the Arcane Card fell in front of Testarossa. Kaya and Nova rushed over to her; they noticed that her body was scorching hot. It started to burn the grass and the trees around her. Testarossa laughed before saying, "It's time we bring the fight to them."
