Once the dragon created by Light was charged enough with volts to severely damage La'Parca, the young man led it by lunging at his enemy at an enormous speed, making the monster barely able to move to dodge. He tried to avoid being hit as quickly as he could, but the attack was too fast to be inevitable, causing it to wipe out the entire left side of the La'Parca, leaving a very serious wound on him.
Even with a part of his body torn off, the enemy could stand to continue fighting, but Light, who wanted to end the battle once and for all, used the scattered pieces of metal to move as fast as he could close to his enemy and thus hit him with an electrically charged punch, hitting his opponent directly. When cornered, the monster opened a portal from which a large rotting hand came out and it directed a punch towards the young man, causing the power of this which was a direct attack on the young man's face, to make him take considerable steps back.
-La'Parca: My eclipse shadows don't plan to stop. You look more and more tired, why don't you give up?
-Light: You're desperate you bastard... But I've sworn to kill you no matter what... I haven't been able to save Dreik, but I still have the ability to save my other brother. I'll do it to continue guiding Shiko to the right path so that after all this bullshit, Asuka is happy with him. And not only for them, but I will also do it for every person who has risked their life in this whole mess because of your master.
-La'Parca: Saying such touching words in your state makes you look pathetic.
Very enraged, the wraith directed his scythe at a high speed towards his enemy to finish him off, but he did not count on the young man activating a barrier of electricity around his body to predict the movement of the weapon.
"Your weapon contains steel on its edge... my aura of electricity is capable of detecting it, I just have to feel where the current around me travels to avoid your attack," Light said with a brusque tone. As he mentioned, when he felt his aura heading to the side, the young man decided to turn off the aura and dodge the right side to be able to avoid the attack and without letting the opportunity pass, he took the scythe from his handle and forcefully stuck his blade into the ground. Being on the ground, the scythe melted as if it was being melted into lava, leaving its owner surprised – Y-Your weapon... It is made of steel... I could feel the vibration it created by being stuck on the surface and detect it... to completely bend it," said Tetsu, who was thought to be out of action.
-Light: Tetsu... you are still conscious despite being suffering all that pain...
-Tetsu: Yes... If I faint I can give up and be called a dead man... really my body burns, I am feeling extremely horrible pain, I could barely move my hand and fingers to execute such a movement... but, if I decide to give up, Dreik would really get very angry, so I can keep fighting... Light, while there is still contact with the ground, I can detect them by means of the vibrations of the metals... somehow, I plan to continue to be of help...
-La'Parca: I see that in the end they turned out to be some really tough bastards...
-Tetsu: Let's end this... Light, I'm going to use... all that I have left.
-Light: I will use my "imperial volt dragon" for the last time, if we use an attack that is equally powerful and big, no matter where it goes, it will be hit by it.
-Tetsu: So, let's do it...
And so, with all their strength, both young men decided to accumulate all the magic they could to raise a colossal attack again. Light used the same move as before, spawning a huge dragon formed of volt charge, while Tetsu sprang out pieces of iron turned into steel, joining them together to form a huge metallic dragon.
-La'Parca: Damn. I can't open a portal big enough to absorb that... I must think of a way to stop it.
-Tetsu: Once we launch our attack... I plan to malice the steel so that it can be combined with your Light beams...
-Light: So... Get ready Tetsu... Go Volt Imperial Dragon!!
-Tetsu: Let's go all out! Imperial Steel Dragon!
It was then that the artificial dragons pounced on their prey, combining into a single immense attack, making their enemy have no chance to escape or defend themselves, being totally devastated when hit by the enormous power of the attack, causing the attack to continue as a huge gust towards the ocean, until it exploded in a distant part of it.
-Tetsu: W-We've done it... we made it...
-Light: Ahg! I've used too much magic... I can barely continue to use it to appease my pain in my arm... It really sucks, to have lost my hand like that...
-Tetsu: Light... You've lost your transformation... I can feel your aura diminish...
-???: Mumumumumu! It was a magnificent attack! But you both forget a small detail! I am an entity that remains between life and death, as long as there is a piece of me out of this world, I can return...
Filled with terror and dread, the young wondered why they could still hear the voice of La'Carpa until they understood the explanation of this, it was then that Light saw floating a small skull from which hung on the monster's suit, and this caused many destroyed pieces of the specter's skeleton to emerge from a portal. They began to rise, being surrounded by an evil aura and now of gathering, a huge aura surrounded them until the new form of the entity could be seen. This time, it was a complete skeleton, which had a scarf torn around its jaw and with an old armor connecting various points of its skeleton, while winged skulls flying around it with a terrible appearance.
-Light: Shit... I had forgotten that these monsters contain a humanoid hybrid form...
-La'Parca: I am sorry... but your time has come, I will take both of your souls!
When the duo seemed to have no chance of survival, Asuka, who was carrying Shiko and was with the other inhabitants of the island, arrived.
-Light: Asuka? I told you to find a safe place!
-Yun: This has gone too badly... at least you could say hello, Moonrider.
-Light: So, you two have finally come here...
-Rikka: You are... in a bad... condition... allow ... me to help...
-Shiko: It can't be... Tetsu looks totally finished... has lost his sight and Light his hand...
-Asuka: It took us too long to come here... Let's take care of this!
-Shiko: I swear... I'm going to kill him!
At that moment, Shiko managed to regain his strength and stood up on his own and without thinking about the consequences he put himself on guard to fight against the enemy, because he felt very enraged.
-La'Parca: You have awakened, shadow dragon... Now that you are in front of me, it is the perfect time to fulfill my mission.
-Yun: Shiko, don't do something stupid, stay behind me, it's dangerous what he's capable of doing to you. Rikka can take care of the wounds of that pair, but if we fight in the wrong way, many consequences can occur.
-Shiko: To all this, what is your fighting style?
-Yun: Me? I am an "Invoker" and through contracts, I can use the souls of different beasts to support me in battle.
-Tetsu: So, these two are those who... they planned to come here to help... Dreik spoke about you.
-La'Parca: Enough chit-chat! Now is the best time to show them that none of this is a game!
It was then that a new portal appeared behind Shiko's back, having enough strength to be able to drag the young man, who very frightened, tried to run to avoid being sucked into the vortex. Unfortunately for him, this portal was too strong and in the end he was totally attracted by it causing Shiko to be teleported to an unknown place - I don't intend to leave you alone again, Shiko! - exclaimed Asuka, who saw Shiko being absorbed, threw herself to catch him without any fear, being also absorbed by the portal before it closed.
-Light: Shit, Asuka is nuts!
-Yun: It can't be, he managed to take Shiko!
-Tetsu: Don't tell me... who has trapped Shiko in that forbidden place... from which no one can return.
-Rikka: If the rumors are true... we have made a big mistake... by letting it go... Shiko...
-Yun: Shit, you damn monster! Tell us how to get them back right now!
-Light: Before that we must be able to defeat him, you dumb-ass!
-Yun: Shut up Moonrider! Let me do the work and take care of standing still like the useless person you are!
-Rikka: I... I'll take care of... healing them...
-Light: Ch…!
In the distance, the trio of hooded men continued to observe the situation.
-Otacon: I know what you're thinking Koru, but don't move from this place, I have a feeling that monster has made a huge mistake. Apart from that, that enemy is the one that is about to decide if in the end these young people have been worthy of carrying the power of the hero.
-Koru: When this island was attacked by La'Parca, He used the same portal to steal the Holy Sword... I don't understand why he took Shiko to the same place.
-Remy: Shiko still lacks his full power to be able to unleash it... Surely because of his condition he thought that he would simply be devoured by all the monsters in the place.
Meanwhile, Shiko and Asuka fell into a gloomy dungeon, which was lit by green torches with fire, stuck to the walls. They both fell unconscious instantly, but after a while, Shiko was the first to wake up. Very scared, he observed the site and noticed multiple strange presences, but without being able to see anything with anything. After analyzing for a while, he concluded that it was a dungeon with no way out. He stared at Asuka for a moment worriedly, thinking about how difficult it was to breathe in the place, because the entry of air and magic was so scarce and it was until then, that Asuka woke up.
-Asuka: W-what...? Where am I?
-Shiko: You're a fool, you came all the way here to help me without a plan and now we find ourselves trapped in a dungeon.
-Asuka: Dunge…? Oof! My ankle! Did I twist it when I fell?
-Shiko: Can't you heal it back?
-Asuka: Ahg... it seems not, after spending almost all my magic in my desperate attempt to help Dreik, I was running around with you on my back, I haven't recovered enough magic... and here I can hardly feel that it exists in the air.
While the young people were talking, many strange beasts approached them, these looked like small viscous beings of different colors with eyes and mouths, within their expressions you could see the fear they felt. Shiko watched them carefully and without feeling dangerous he told Asuka - Look! Aren't they slimes? – Very surprised, the beings asked for Shiko's prior knowledge.
-Slime 1: Human... How do you know about our existence?
-Shiko: Well... in my world they do not exist as such, but they do exist in fiction... I didn't think they really looked so alike.
-Slime 2: I guess... that you have been captured just like all of us.
-Asuka: "All of us"?
-Slime 1: That's right... All kinds of monsters have been sent here to be part of a ritual that "Eclipse" plans to do.
To be continued...
