Chapter 53 - Temple

The entity slammed onto the ground, as Ruis appeared at front with Zack and Ender following him as the portal disappeared behind them.. Ruis without saying a word, charges up as faint blue aura with winds revolve around him before sprinting towards the entity and penetrate through it's gut to other side, without touching it..

It tried to regenerate but Zack moved forward and striked a massive blow, fire burned everywhere as it almost got cut in half, trying to regenerate as Zack jumped high enough Ruis flow to other side as Ender fused his both arms..

"Revel!."

BANG!

A huge explosion occured.. Everyone back off, trying to make sure if it was dead.. It survive.. Still standing, glaring at it's burning arms as it's tentacles were emerging but this time low in quantity..

"This thing is tuff as hell.."

Zack mumbled to himself, serious expression lingering over his face.. He knew giving more time will be at their downside so he clenched his sword from one hand.. Before sprinting towards it, this time he unconsciously used his zon to almost perfect extent that he appeared just right infront of it, stabbed his burning sword onto it's throat..

It tried to attack him with it's claws but suddenly the ground around them turned to ice and huge spikes of ice penetrate it's body.. With that Ruis came from behind, cutting off the back whip like tentacles off it's back, before covering his hands with huge spikes that penetrate through it's back..

It's body started to froze in ice, tentacles temporary paralyzed because of shocked as Ender jumps above and summon two words of weak that goes straight to it's soul.. Zack was continuously trying to smitten it's head off but it seems like it had stiffen up it's neck harder than most of it's body right now. As if it would died if it's head got chopped off..

Ender land beside Zack and used all it's might to chopped it's neck off..

"Slumber!."

Ender yelled, ordering it to fall into oblivion.. It was so weak now that the scar on it's neck started spreading out as if it's neck was being chopped off.. Ender using both his arms while Ruis was trying to make sure that it couldn't move it's tentacles and limbs.. On this moment, it mumbled something, only understandable by Ender...

"I don't wanna die.. I won't die.. I– I won't.. Die!."

It roared.. For survival... So hard that their ear drums burst, Ender and Zack were still clenching their fist to the sword trying to cut it's neck..Then a energy formed around the entity, melting the ice that covered it's body from everywhere.. Many molten spikes appeared over it's body, radianting a strong energy before... It radiants a huge explosion.

BANG!

Ender and Zack flew off before getting crashed to the rocky wall.. Ruis crashed to the pillar, falling down to ground.. Zack unconscious for a moment as a thought pondered on his mind..

~ Everyone sees me as the burning knight but do I want to be a burning knight.. Not knowing how much I have sinned.. Messor Mortis.. The sins I had done, even monsters would flinched at.. Why do they call me the burning knight?..

He opened his eyes to saw Ender aside him..

~ Maybe I'm right.. I'm a monster who doesn't deserved this holy name... But for others.. I must burned, burned my sins.. But that wouldn't make me an angel neither, nor I want to be.. I'll burn for others.. For him..

His expression softened.. Oh our sinful archangel, your sins will bear the holy name, when you'll burn... As he turned his glaze to witness the entity having some mutations.. As Ender scrubs his eyes before getting up..

The entity grunting, it's body was vibrating as if something was emerging within it.. As a huge tentacle emerged from it's liver, getting attached to the rocky walls, then another, then another, then the whole area was attached by its countless slippery tentacles.. As sharp radiating molten spikes emerged from them..

The entity lifted itself up to almost at the cliff, it's body enclosed itself in a cocoon.. Then the spikes from all over the region started shimmering.. By now, Ruis had went towards them.. Everyone knew they're quite done..

Many countless slashes spread over the area from every corner, rocks fall pillars crumbled. Ruis makes a ice shield and everyone gets in it. Slashes tried to penetrate it but he using both his hands, was still holding it back, not for long..

"Hey!. Any thoughts?."

Ruis clenching his teeth glanced behind Ender as Zack was aside as well.. Ender pondered for a moment, his arms crossed as Zack glared at him with blank face, Ruis was focusing on shielding the barrier..

"I think I should call All beloved.. He can help us.. Isn't He omnipresent?."

He spoke with excitement.

"That's brilliant!. Do it!. Me and Zack will take on this shit for a while.."

Ender nods as Ruis lifted up his three fingers from his left hand then one titled down, then another, then finally at last one down.. As the barrier broke and everyone jumped dodging many slashes on their way..

Zack clenched his sword and swings it beautifully like as if it was with him for a lifetime.. Swinging it beautifully clashing with countless slashes.. When the slashes were about to touch Ruis they stopped as if something was infinity stopping them from reaching him..

He formed two tentacle like ice which collided with many slashes..

"Destruction of Seas.."

He spoke swiftly, as everywhere formed a rain of sharp ice spears engulfing and cutting through many tentacles. Zack swinging his both arms..

"Disperse!."

It destroyed many tentacles but it seems like they're regenerating faster than they can cut..

"Ender!. Do it hurry!."

Ruis shouted as there was a deep hole on the cliff of the rocky wall where Ender was hiding while chanting.

"Oh greatest loved!.. Please guide us the way to survive.."

Nothing happened.. As Ender sighs before saying again..

"Oh greatest loved!. Greatest loved!. Guide us God Damnit!."

Nothing happens, as he heard a voice within him..

"This isn't a way to address with our God.. You damn Marum.."

It was the soul which said it.. As Ender mumbled..

"I'm a human.. Well then what's the way?.."

"Okay then.. Listen to me with both ears.."

His ear drums had regenerate up till now as he scratches his chin.. Smirking..

"Oh our greatest Lord.. Our love.. The Truth and purest love.. Guide us to the one way, save us from death, give us mercy.. Pity on us.. We are nothing about your love.. Oh greatest loved.. Give us loved!.. Your love!."

The soul coughs after saying this, Ender was baffled..

"This is so cringe.. But where you a Marum?."

He asked her something she didn't knew..

"I don't know.. I don't remember anything about my life.."

Her tone darkened as she was silent, Ender understand the situation as he sighs.. Then repeat the exact same word as she said..

In an instant, out of nowhere a small orb of light started gleaming infront of Ender's glaze, he tried to touched it as it got absorbed by his arm.. For a moment, he felt his arm doesn't exist.. It became so light as some weird text started forming around his wrist.. It said in an unknown language.. Translate by his trame.. 'Destroy'..

"Ah I think I knew what to do now.."

A macilious smirked appeared over his face..

Where as Ruis and Zack were still fighting the entity as Zack's zon taking a shape of huge fire.. Slashed through almost every tentacle to the coccon. The entity emerged from it.. As Zack stabbed it's chest it strucked it's claws straight to his gut, tearing his armour. Blood poured from Zack's lips but he clenched his fist harder to upwards. Both falling down.. Ruis exhausted, extended his arm and made them fall slower by changing the flow of time..

As in this moment, Ender appeared above, his one hand shining a werid yellow light.. He stand on entity's back and strucked that arm straight through it's chest.. Zack used all his might and straight burned the organs inside of the entity with Ender blessed hand decaying the entity from inside..

In it's self defense it spreads it's spikes out everywhere from it's body like before, both knew that it would used the same move as before, so with using every last bit of power.. Blue energy sparks, shrouded them as they all yelled at the same time..

"Arugh!."

BANG!

A huge explosion occured as Zack flew off flying like a rag doll, luckily Ruis picks him up in his arms before he could be slammed, his armour crumbled, shattered.. With his coat and shirt.. Ruis landed softly, placing Zack who was collapsed.. As he heard a falling sound..

BUMP!

Dust shrouded that place as Ruis after gently placing Zack extended his arm as winds wiped the dust away, a faint blue light lingering as Ruis dragged him there, his knees were screaming in pain yet he walked, dragged for his friend..

Standing at the hole, he looked down to saw the entity almost gone, it's bits barely visible.. While Ender unconscious, his white coat torned apart with his black shirt.. His one arm gone, trying to regenerate but it was way slower..

Ruis lifted him up before placing him outside the area.. Brushing the dust from his face, hairs.. As Ender's lips started twitching, his eyes closed, mumbling..

"W– We won?."

"Yeah, we did it.."

Ruis expression softened.. As they chortle together.. Now they heard a familiar voice..

"Yoo!. Who will pay for my coat!?."

It was Zack who had gotten up, sitting on a rock, as he weared off his torned coat.. Smirking..

"Pay for yourself!."

Ruis couldn't hold his burst of laughter while saying it.

Moments later...

Everyone had recovered from their wounds as Ender sighs while adjusting himself, he had used crafting to made and wear black shirt with white coat.. Same for others..

As out of nowhere a blue portal appeared in front of them..

"So this is the exit?. Finally.."

Ruis takes a deep breath before saying.. Zack was eating Ruis mind by telling him how well he fought with the entity..

"Yoo!. When I stabbed it and roared with that explosion, it felt so good like I feel I was in heaven for few seconds!.."

He exclaimed with excitement as Ruis clang his forehead, glancing at Ender who was looking at him, maintaining a straight expression..

As they moved their step towards the portal and Ender just before going, takes a glance behind, eyes widened...

It was a huge iron gate with symbol of nothingness..

~ Was it there before?. We have been fighting for so long and my glaze hadn't witness upon this. I don't think it was there before..

Curiosity shrouded his mind as he takes a step towards it..

– Don't go.. I have a bad feeling..

His inner voice tried to watn him but curiosity of unknown was bigger than any warning, indeed there's a prize for it.. Ruis and Zack were still there, no one looked behind at where Ender was going..

Now standing infront of the gate, he extended his arm muscles and pushed the gate with might strength.. Creasing sounds echoing everywhere as the unknown was greeting him..

There was silence, darkness.. Ender stepped forward, gulps his throat, even though he was quite nervous, he didn't show it on surface.. After walking some distance, something bright was dazzling infront of his gaze.. He stepped forward..

It was an orb standing on tombstone, with a werid darkness like energy, revolving in it by all directions, as it felt Ender was standing in front of him.. It push itself against the mirror as if it wanted to be in him..

Ender extended his arm towards the orb,

– Don't..

His inner voice warned him but it was too late. As he made a contact with the orb.. It shattered, along with the tombstone crumbling to dust.. Before he could react, it goes to his body..

"Ahh!."

Ender panicked, immediately checking his body.. Then his soul.. Everything..

"Hey Anastasia!. Did you find any abnormality in my body?."

His tone was quite concerned..

"Noo.. Why did anything happen?."

She spoke with puzzlement..

"Can you see?."

He sighs, he had checked his soul.. His body.. Everything, yet no signs of abnormality were there.. Confused, he crossed his arms, thinking what had just happened?..

"Hey Ender!. What in the world are you doing here!?."

A familiar voice echoed everywhere as he turned behind to saw Ruis standing aside the door with Zack beside him.

"Yoo!. This place feels quite strange. Let's go, we're waiting!."

"Yeah!. You go I'm coming.."

He said before walking towards them.. His footsteps echoing everywhere as he gets outside, closing the door like before..

Then something snapped in B–
