Angel Protector Chapter 27: Turning Point

Red hot lava erupted from under Sakura and surrounded her. As it cooled off, a dark spherical mass stood on the spot where Sakura was. Krysta's laughter filled the air as she walked towards the mass of hot lava. She raised her large scythe against it, but just as she was about to slash it in half, the solidified lava started cracking. The dark mass cracked more and burst open to reveal a sphere of water surrounding Sakura. Her staff was aimed straight at Krysta who looked on in disbelief.

"She used water to protect herself...unbelievable..."
"Deluge canon!"
"Flame Shield!"

Flames came forth from beneath the place Krysta stood and collided with the deluge canon. Sakura panted heavily while never stopping her attack while Krysta started to breathe heavily trying to hold up her defence. Finally Krysta could not keep her defence and got blasted by Sakura's attack. She was sent flying across the ground and was now covered in injuries as she lay on the floor. Sakura heaved a smile of relief as she still panted heavily. Her legs gave way as she fell to the floor exhausted.

"Sakura! Get up!" shouted Sera as he hit away one of Lust's black daggers.
"It's only two of us now you pathetic excuse for an angel."
"Shut up! I will defeat you!"
"Oh? An angel is actually angry. What a disgrace."
"Shut up!!"

Sera used his two swords to strike her but she use two daggers to block it. They continued attacking each other, neither one giving up. The quiet night was filled with sounds of metal clashing against each other as sparks from flew when their weapons clashed.

"You cant even defeat one of me. Lets see you play with both of us now then!"

A second Lust appeared and they started to run around Sera in circles. They were so fast that they were now only a blur. Sera looked on in shock but steadied himself, preparing for any sudden movements. Suddenly, Sera got a cut on his arm, which was followed with more cuts at other parts of his body. He dropped one of his swords as the pain went through his body.

"I can't lose here. Not when Sakura and Ayumi are depending on me."
"Given up already? It's just gotten good."
More cuts appeared on Sera as Lust laughed eerily.
"I need to do something quick...but what?"
"Wait...I have an idea, I hope it works."

"Sacre Benedicto!"
A pillar of light appeared with Sera inside it. The pillar of light illuminated the area around it. Lust continued laughing as she taunted Sera.
"Do you think that will save you?"
"It's like what you said...it's just gotten good."

Lust continued running around Sera, this time a black object was seem flying towards Sera. He easily dodged it as a second one came flying towards him. He used his sword to knock it away.
"Using your pillar of light so you can see my daggers...it's a good idea...but it wont work against me!"

More daggers flew his way as he dodged and hit away each one of them. He started panting the longer the fight drew on.
"How long can you keep this up? You can't win just by evading my attacks."
"I can't keep this up any longer."

Back at the princess' house, she was sweating a lot as she tossed and turned in her bed. Faint screams could be heard occasionally coming from her. The more she tossed and turned, the more the screams turned to cries of help and desperation. Not long after, her father and some maids slammed open the door as they ran to her side.

"Evie! What's wrong my daughter! Wake up!" screamed her father as he shook her violently.
However, no matter no hard he shook her, she showed no signs of waking up. She still continued tossing around as she screamed and cried out for help. Everyone looked on in despair when they realised how helpless they were. Her father sat beside her and held her hand firmly with his own two palms.
"My precious daughter...what's happening to you?"
"Guards, bring some chains here! Chain her to the bed!
"But Sir..."
"Just do it! I rather see her being chained then see her like this."
"Yes Sir."

After a few moments, the soldiers brought some chains and chained her to the bed posts. They struggled to keep her down but they eventually managed to chain her to the four corners. The king put his head on his palms and weeped bitterly. The other people in the room just looked on with helplessness.

Darkness surrounded the princess in this realm. She was just floating around in darkness. She screamed out in fear but no sound came out of her mouth. She just floated along this darkness, not being able to see, hear anything.

"Where am I?"
"You're in my world now...Princess..."
"Who's there?!"
"Your worse nightmare...."
"No...no..."

The darkness disappeared and a small path appeared in front of her. As she took a step forward, flames erupted from both sides with pits of bubbling molten lava. The princess knelt down in fear and wept to herself.

"If you want to escape, walk to the end of this path."
The princess dried her tears, got herself up and took another step forward hesitantly. Slowly, she continued to move forward on that small path.

Sera was now at his limit, even though he still managed to avoid getting hit by some of the daggers, his movements were now slower and some daggers still managed to injure him.
"I think i've had enough fun, I'll end this now."

Suddenly Lust appeared behind Sera with a dagger pointed at his back.
"Goodbye angel..."
As she was about to stab him, an arrow pierced shot away the dagger she was holding.

"It's not over yet Lust."

Angel Protector Chapter 26: The losing fight

"Die seraphim!" shouted Krysta as she charged at Sakura with her large scythe.
"Sakura!"
Ayumi shot an arrow at Krysta from the side and it caught her off guard for a while. She jumps away from the arrow and now runs at Ayumi. Sera jumps in and uses his swords to block her.
"Ayumi! Go after lust, I'll handle Krysta."
"Understood!"

She searched the area for lust and when she finally found her, she was still at the same place and had not moved.
"She's not moving? What is she planning? No matter I'll finish her now!"
She took aim and shot an arrow at her. As the arrow was flying towards her, Ayumi smiled as she thought it was going to hit her for sure. However, just as the arrow hit her, she just vanished as darkness.

"Did I get her?"
"Ayu! Behind you!" Screamed out Sakura.
"What?"
She turned around quickly and saw Lust running towards her, each hand holding a small black dagger. Ayumi reacted quickly and used her bow to block one of the daggers.
"How naive!" shouted Lust as she used her other dagger to slash her right shoulder.
"Argh." "I'm a ranged fighter, how should i fight her?"

Ayumi jumped back after being slashed and heard the sound of her wings flapping. An idea came to her that instant. She took a look at Lust and saw that she had no wings of her own.
"That's right. I can fly and take her from the skies."
She flew into the sky and took aim at Lust once again.
"I'll get her this time."
She shot an arrow and it flew at her, but once again it disappeared as a shadow.
"Where is she?"
"You can stop looking for me, I'm right here."

Ayumi looked down and to her surprise she saw two Lust's. She composed herself and smiled to herself.
"It doesn't matter how many there are. She can't hit me from there."
"If you think that I cant hit you from here, you're too naive child!"
One of the Lust's threw her daggers at in the air and Ayumi flew aside to dodge it.
"Hah! Did you think that could hit me?"
"Wait and see child."
Just as Lust said that, Ayumi found herself in black chains.
"Chains? How?"
She took a look at herself and saw the daggers at the end of the chains.
"So the chains were linked together by the daggers. It's hard to see them in this darkness."
She was still flying in mid air when she got slashed again at her limbs. This time by the other Lust.
"She uses one of herself to chain the opponent and the other to attack. She's killing me slowly instead of killing me in one shot."
"What do you think of this combo Seraphim! My shadow and I are invincible!"
"Shadow?"
Lust threw more daggers at her while laughing at the pain of Ayumi. Ayumi closed her eyes and stopped flying. She fell to the ground with a loud thud while everyone looked on.
"Ayumi! "
"Haha, looks like the battle over there is already over." jeered Krysta.
"Ayumi won't die from so easily!" screamed Sakura.
"You're all just pathetic creatures who are in the way of my father. I will crush all of you and give you to him."
"As if you can do that." shouted Sera.
"Both of you couldn't even lay a finger on me, you're both puny worms that I will squish now!."
"I won't let you do that! Wy! Merge!"
"Byakuya! Merge!"
"Sera stay out of this, I will take care of her."
"But..."
"Go see if Ayu is ok!"
"Ok I understand."

"You know you can't win me without his help Sakura."
'I can! And I will do it now!"
'Haha, you talk too much."
"You're the one who talks too much!" "Wy! Launcher mode."
"Launcher mode? Guess she still had something up her sleeve."
"A new mode won't save you, you know?"
"Shut up and take a look at this!"

Sakura fired a beam into the skies and the clouds swirled around it quickly. Not long after, rain started to fall above the place Krysta was.
"Rain? You think rain can stop me?"
"This isn't ordinary water." smiled Sakura.
"What?!"
As the first few drops touched the ground, the ground started to melt away. A few drops landed on Krysta's suit and burned a hole in it.
"This is..."
"It's acid. I mixed the water and the chemicals in the air to form acid rain."
"Dam it, I can't move too much or I'll get splattered faster with the acid."

As more rain fell, the more Krysta's suit melted. Some of it landed on her skin and the pain of it was all over her face.
"This is ridiculous! I can't get beaten by some rain!"
"Give up Krysta!"
"Byakuya! Boomerang mode!"
"Your fire boomerang won't help you this time."
"Just watch and see."

She threw her burning boomerang scythe into the air and it flew around before it started to flying back to Krysta.
"Where are you aiming Krysta!"
Krysta kept silent as her boomerang flew towards her. Just before it landed, she dodged it and it went into the ground.
"Your weapon is now in the ground! What use is that!"
"Lava eruption!"

Solid flames of lava flew out from the ground into the air and collided with the acid rain. On contact the lava cooled and fell as hard burning rocks on Sakura.
"How's that Sakura!"
"She actually came up with a plan to counter my acid rain. She's not so easy to beat after all."
"I will burn you now! Die along with your friends!"
A huge stream of lava erupted from below Sakura.
