Hell's Academy

Waxel sighed and pointed over into the distant mountain ranges.

Armecolith seemed to instantly get Waxel's meaning before the two of them shot in that direction. Howard watched the two men instantly shoot off into the distance while his body started to feel like it was breaking down.

Turning to try and rush towards them, he looked down and saw an arm had gotten wrapped around his foot.

"Listen to them, idiot. I need you to survive," Oclen's white snakeman arm had extended and clawed around Howard's foot. "Please, please pass me the other part of my body. You can't even catch up to them at your maximum speed. How the hell are you going to hit him with that silver flame?"

Howard looked down and started to weep while he noticed his silver flame had slowly started to disintegrate Oclen's hand. However, he couldn't just let Waxel die! He-he was his descendant right?! Why throw that on him, and then just leave?!

"Why?! Why the hell did you have to hunt me? This-this would've never happened if you weren't here you damn Arthraku Bastard!"

Howard walked over to Oclen and kicked him as hard as he could into the ice glacier wall. Dozens of shards fell down on his torso while his legs started to tremble. 

Howard picked up his separated lower half and sighed before he deactivated Fire King's Last Stand. Luckily, because he hadn't overexerted himself, he could still feel Ki normally. He walked over and found Oclen underneath the rubble before gently pushing the two halves of his body together.

Almost instantly, the two parts of him started to heal while Howard looked at him with eyes boiling with anger.

"You-you're so easy to kill right now. Why shouldn't I do it?"

"Well, for one, your grandfather thinks you need me to kill that bastard. Doesn't seem like such a bad idea to keep me alive. After all, I know more about Armecolith than I care to. I had an entire class on the Night Lords growing up. That one was Armecolith, that one my father thought died, but clearly he was wrong! Night Lords are supposed to be immortal after all!"

"He one time fought my father and got crushed miserably, but my father didn't bother to look for his body! Ugh, just another person I have to kill in order to get peace in the damn Furnace! Now listen to me and help me up! Help me up so I can help you defeat him!"

"No!" Howard punched Oclen in the face. His handsome cheekbones instantly instantly suffered a massive dent before Howard turned his other cheek and smashed down. "You-you're better off dead! You have three seconds to tell me something valuable or you're dying!"

Howard raised his hands and created a sharp sword point from Fire Ki while Oclen's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He didn't want to die! He had to stop his father from destroying the Furnace to get what he wanted! He couldn't let this happen!

"Howard, wait! I know where Angela is! You're great grandmother! This one scout Exland Empire bragged about finding her, and I'll let you know, okay! However, you can't kill me!"

"I don't want to hear lies from you!" Howard grabbed Oclen's neck and squeezed down. "I don't know how your throat healed so fast, but here, let me stab you again! You ready?"

"She's in Montgomery! Damn it! Please! Please stop!" Oclen started to tear up. His already dented face started to seem more pathetic and hard to look at. "Please! I'll take you to her if you just let me survive! Please!"

"Hmph, you deserve this," Howard stabbed quickly down into Oclen's wrist, and instantly caused him to wrech in pain. "You deserve to be stabbed a thousand times! Now how long until you fully recover? I'm only carrying you for a minute!"

"One hour," Oclen smiled widely while he slowly started to return to his human form. "However, I need another favor. I need to kill a few Authoritarians along the way to recover! Just some small ones."

"You kill a single Authoritarian around me, you're dead!" Howard punched Oclen in the face and then a second later kicked him once in the ribs. "Do you hear me? You've done enough damage! You mess with anyone else's family, and I'll crush you to bits!"

Howard sighed and picked up Oclen and tossed him onto his shoulder before looking at where he sensed Waxel's growing Ki. "However, please Waxel, please survive. If I lose another family member, I might really go insane."

Waxel and Armecolith had very different ways of fighting.

Armecolith used Shadow Ki in order to summon the powers of Darkness while Waxel mostly used Ice Ki or Earth Ki. He was a dual wielder just like Priscilla, but it was on a completely different level entirely.contemporary romance

Thousands of ice spears appeared floating around Waxel while hundreds of stone swords began to rise into the air. It was extremely impressive to see a man standing in a sea of weapons, however, Waxel seemed almost completely and totally unimpressed.

"Shadow King Activate!" Armecolith held out his hand before a shadow beneath him started to grow bigger. The next moment, a gigantic form with gigantic black fists pushed itself out of the ground. In just a second, a gigantic shadow had appeared and towered in front of Waxel. It had yellow glowing eyes, but everything else, including its black cape was black. At over 100 meters tall, it seemed to be a king unleashed into the world! "Hahaha! This is one ability I spent years learning in hopes of one day using it against Demon King Earls Awakened Form. It's a shame I have to use it against you."

"Well, at least during this fight I'll be smiling," Armecolith grabbed a sword from the air before he activated his Ki the maximum. "Haha, I just realized before Howard left that he was probably my grandson! It's so funny how things just work out sometimes. I had no idea you'd attack, haha! And I just happened to follow behind and get to see him battle! So impressive, isn't he? I guess it's worth trying to kill you. However, unlike you might think, I also have a few cards up my sleeve."

"Ice Emperor's Chariot, Activate!"

Three days later, 

Howard finally arrived at Jarlon Valley with Oclen.

The two of them had gotten in several fights, but for the most part they were learning to work together. Unfortunately, he had a feeling Harkel wouldn't like him very much. The Ghost Authoritarian that had shown him to the doorway to go to Demon King Earl's castle, might want to kill him the second he laid eyes on him.

"I think Waxel wants us to meet someone named Harkel. You have to be respectful, Oclen," Howard sighed and looked over at Oclen as he wobbled to move forward. "I-I'm sorry, but even if it would help you walk better, you still can't kill an Authoritarian."

"I-I stopped complaining. Let's just meet him and get this over with," Oclen sighed and looked over at a strange den in the entranceway to Jarlon Valley. "However, what the hell is that feeling in that den on the mountain? Do you know?"

"That's something Harkel warned me about the last time I was here.However, where the hell is that ghost Authoritarian. He's almost always around here!"

"Ah, the Lord of Dark Ki has returned! Hahahaha!" Harkel seemed to appear from the side of the mountain. His extremely hideous form, with its golden eyes, descended with a smile on its face. "Welcome back, Howard! What are you doing with that injured turd? Shall I kill him for you?"
