Regain: Revenge of the Greatest

Talzer was a sly demon, able to do whatever he wanted, as long as his actions make Earl Gideon suffer. He managed to isolate Earl Gideon with him. They were outside the ruined castle. He commanded Osbert to deal with Kael and Elalios.

“It’s great to have a body, don’t you think Gideon?”, Talzer taunted.

The Earl showed his hateful gaze. He was tricked, unable to remain beside Kael. He wanted to quickly finish the battle, but ever since Talzer acquired a physical body, the demon became in control of the situation. Before the demon even began its attack, Earl Gideon already felt the demon’s power.

[Dark Force]

Talzer initiated. Multiple dark orbs appeared near Talzer’s extended right arm.

“Amuse me.”, Talzer said. “One”

One of the destructive orbs zoomed towards the Earl.

[Great Shield]

The dark orb exploded in front of the Earl, but he was not hit.

“Two”

Two dark orbs rushed towards the Earl. He defended once again. He didn’t waste any time. He made his move.

[Speed Boost]

It’s the Earl’s turn. He rushed towards the demon.

“Three”

Three dark orbs flew towards the Earl. He faced the destructive forces head-on.

[Great Shield]

Three consecutive explosions were heard, but the Earl was unharmed. He was quickly moving towards the demon.

[Dar–

Talzer was interrupted.

The Earl grabbed the demon by the neck. He forced the demon to the ground. His eyes expressed his vengeful desire, he wanted to destroy the vile entity.

[Burn]

A raging fire bloomed, consuming both the demon and the Earl. The harsh pillar of flames scorched the nearby pavement, steam coming out of the red-hot floor. The vibrant flame was seen by the townspeople, who were reluctant to go near it, as they heard the turbulent roar of the powerful flame.

The burning pillar faded, and it revealed the Earl, unharmed by the fire. But, the demon was also the same. Still grabbed by the Earl at his neck, Talzer was unscathed, smoke emanating and surrounding his body.

[Dark Force]

The Earl was startled. A dark orb suddenly appeared almost directly at his chest. It was five times larger compared to the others.

[Full Boost]

The Earl prepared to get away, but Talzer wouldn’t have it.

“Boom”

The Earl released his grasp. With all his might, he jumped back, but Talzer was way ahead, the menacing dark ball will touch him no matter what.

[Great Shield]

The orb touched the unprepared noble. It was harsh. The explosion shattered the Earl’s defense. It didn’t create any destructive flames. Instead, it created a catastrophic rumble that pushed back the Earl dangerously fast.

The demon was grinning. He strolled towards the Earl after he caressed his neck. He created a dark orb floating above his right hand.

“What happened Gideon? Did you slip on something?”, Talzer mocked.

Earl Gideon rose up, hearing the carefree footsteps of his vile opponent. He still felt the pain. It was reverberating from his chest, threatening to collapse his bones at any moment. He needed to return the favor to the demon.

[Burning Arrow]

He felt the cruel pain from raising his hand. Beams of flame lined above him. He looked at the demon with fiery resentment, ready to throw the destruction he prepared.

“Take this”

The Earl commanded the flames. The flames rumbled, moving towards the demon one by one. The terrifying roar of the moving flames displaced the settled debris in their midst.

The first burning arrow was intercepted by the demon’s dark orb. The collision released dangerous flames and violent winds, disturbing the peace of the town.

The next one hit Talzer. The demon was pushed back. He attempted to move out and dodge, but another one hit him, not letting him escape.

Talzer was trapped in place. He received another, burning harsher than the first two. The successive flames increased the damages. The heat rose, the demon’s stiff skin gave way. His gray skin was bubbling, burned to a crisp by the terrible heat.

The Earl paused the destruction. He was looking forward to see that his terrible enemy sustained so much damage from his attacks. The pain of the injury in his chest didn’t disappear, but he focused his attention to his dangerous enemy.

[Dark Force]

Before the smoke faded, dark orbs viciously rushed towards the Earl. He dodged, violent destruction appeared on the place he just left.

As he landed, another one was already threatening him. He tried jumping sideways. The pain in his chest hindered him.

[Grea-

The dark force hit the Earl. He flung back once again. He was knocked out for a moment. He was helpless.

Another hit him before dropping on the ground. The intense pain woke him up, his real nightmare returning to him.

Talzer reappeared from the smoke. He accumulated burning in every part of his body. His gray skin darkened, flaking as the wind blew at him. His look became distorted, shriveled and disgusting to look at. He was able to experience the rage of his opponent.

But the Earl suffered worse. He couldn’t open his eyes, as the excruciating pain radiate throughout his body. He’s bleeding on his stomach, his left hand crushed and dislocated. He wanted to stand, but his feet didn’t listen to his commands.

“Look, Gideon”, the demon exclaimed, pointing at his face. “I just got my new body and you ruined it!”

The Earl groaned, his suffering was unbearable.

“You deserve that”, Talzer grotesquely grinned. “You let me use you”

Talzer squatted down. He pressed his hand to Earl Gideon’s chest. The Earl wanted to remove it, but his hands gave up.

“This is your e–”

All of a sudden, Talzer flung back. He immediately tried recovering from the shock. And as he was getting up, he looked at where he left the Earl. Beside the defeated Earl, Kael and Elalios were standing. Elalios got down, tending to his master.

Talzer tried searching for Osbert. He made Osbert stronger than before. He estimated that the boost he gave Osbert, was enough to prevent Kael and Elalios from aiding the Earl against him. He was sorely mistaken.

Not far from Kael, Osbert’s head was resting on the ground, cleanly separated from his body. A demonette like Osbert will die if their head was cut off from their body. Talzer realized that Kael was more dangerous than he thought.

Kael was walking towards him while he was in confusion.

“You look terrible”, Kael said. Talzer was surprised that Kael managed to get near him without his notice.

“Shall we finish this?”, Kael declared.

The threatening gaze of the child sent shivers down Talzer’s back. He knew that the child could not be reasoned with. Kael will attack him.
