SWNOVELS Chapter 85
“We'd better keep attacking him, he must have a weak point, let's find it. Francisco hit him with his best techniques and invoked his most deadly weapons.
-Luis, please tell me you forgive me. -Luis shouted as he was hit by a tentacle that Mephistopheles sprouted from the ground.
1 don't love you, 1 loved you very much, I can never deny that, you were my first man, I will never forget that either, but I can't come between you and Angie. You must form a family for that baby that is on the way, you have to stop thinking about yourself, now you have a family to fight for, if you have to work day and night so that they don't lack anything, you must do it. -Luisa pierced Mephistopheles with her sword, making him scream in pain.
-Luisa, you're wrong, a child doesn't tie anyone down, I know that I grew up alone with my mother and just like her, I can also get ahead alone with my baby. I don't want you to separate because of a baby that we didn’t plan, don’t worry Luis, I won't even ask for child support. -Angie rejoined the battlefield, cutting with her sword the back of the king of darkness. Don't be fools, stop making plans for the future, your lives go until today, I assure you that no one will remember you an that you will have no progeny. This time Mephistopheles stretched out his fingers, turning them into sharp blades with which he wounded everyone.
The cursed one doesn't seem to have any weak points, if we manage to hurt it, it will recover immediately, this is useless howled Estrello splitting the shadow blade.
-Excellent, even one of you affirms the futility of your fight, you must understand that nothing in this world can defeat m Then he shouted and with many arms he struck them all.
You are right, it is useless. -said Luisa, disappearing into a doorway she had opened in the ground.
That coward preferred to run away, one day I will find her, I don't think she knows how to get out of this world, although was a wise decision, none of you can beat me, you'd better escape if you can or fight until your energies run out and I tak from your cold remains the keys that will lead me to The Capes. -Mephistopheles again stopped their savage attacks, givi them time to breathe, making it clear to them that he is only toying with them.
Hold on, there is something we can do, lets try to take the key from him and get out of here, keep collecting the keys an with what we find in The Capes, come and finish this being or also go and recharge the Fura emerald, the holy father who gave it to us will surely know how to recover its power. -A 00d plan came to Luis, who had a heavy heart.
-Let’s try it! -roared Estrello, trying to open Mephistopheles’ chest with his powerful claws, but he only received a whip th made him squeal like a puppy, none of them could get close to his chest and Angie didn’t dare to not receive a damage that could affect her baby, annoyed she said to Guio:
“it's your fault that Luisa ran away, for getting mouthy, now we need her, although I don't recognise it, she’s the strongest us and that sword that I purify gives her greater power.
“I've had enough of you, I'L kill you with one blow and I'll put on my hunter's suit to look for the girl. -Mephistopheles seemed to burst into black flames, even the ground at his feet cracked as if his weight had increased, he transformed his arms into two metallic swords, it seemed like the end of this squadron but for a voice that sounded behind Mephistopheles that formulated:
King, King of Darkness, thank you for giving me the idea that nothing in this world could defeat you. -It was Luisa who came out of a portal of energy, -I remembered that once we went with my parents to the eastern plains and there appear to me the first horror that I saw, they call it “the Candileja’, look, I present it to you.
Through the portal entered a fiery ball of three torches, with arms like red tentacles, producing a noise of broken vases. -Be careful Luis, they say it haunts drunks, infidels and irresponsible, fearful parents,” Luisa said, unsheathing her sword. “I heard that it also scares travellers who pass through late at night. -Angie complements him, recovering her hope,
“I thought it didn't exist, my grandparents told us this legend over and over again to teach us a lesson so that we wouldn misbehave,” explained Luis, “As I remember, many, many years ago there was an old woman who had two grandchildren whom she spoiled too much, tolerating even the strangest occurrences, rudeness and debauchery. The bad behaviour of the grandchildren went so far as to demand that the old lady play the role of packhorse, saddle her up and then ride her between the two of them; the grandmother agreed, to the happiness of her two grandchildren, who rode around the hous as if they were on the meekest of horses.
When the old woman died, San Pedro scolded her for her lack of rigidity in the education of her two grandchildren and condemned her to purge her sorrows in this world between three flames of candle that signify: the body of the old woma and that of the two grandchildren.
“This can't be, I don’t understand, how can you travel between worlds, and how did that thing agree to help you,” asked ti king of darkness trembling.
“It's simple, I learned to summon portals to places I've been or people I know and I only promised it that I would end its curse. -Luisa attacked him with her sword, cutting off a few hairs.
You fool, your sword can't hurt me, we are both made of the same dark nature. -Mephistopheles barked.
“You're the fool, I didn't want to cut you, I was just pointing at you so that she would attack you. -Luisa pulled away and t candela clung with its tentacles to the king of shadows, causing him to scream in horror. The hall was filled with his guarc who worriedly wanted to help him, but were slaughtered by the warriors, as they watched Mephistopheles melt into a sli puddle that eventually also burst like a soap bubble, leaving only the key hanging on his chest.
