"Argh!" I screamed as I charged directly towards it. If he gave me a serious burn, I''m going to kill this thing in return. I got so fucked up just by being hurt which is quite new even for me as I always get hurt back in the days but now? Hmm quite odd even I admit. I slashed my sword on its other leg and I made sure to finish it in one go. Then I flashed back to the other two that was left. Prince Kaval had his aim on the other leg. We both charged even faster and sprinted far away from it knowing full well that it would come crumbling to the ground.

    When we got far enough from both the crumbling ground and the hells spawn, I had both of my hands on my knee, supporting my self who was breathing heavily from all of that sprinting. I know I again used a huge amount of energy but it could have been worse if I did got stuck under it and if Kaval offered me no help at all. The hell spawn roared in agony as its body came crashing to the ground, unable to stand or get on its feet, I took my time to get near to it.

    Its eyes were heavily fixed at me but I felt no sort of intimidated by it. Why would I be, over a creature? Not in a million years. It was breathing heavily as its body started to dim signifying that it has used most of its elemental power from making the ground crumble continuously.. Speaking of which, the ground no longer shook but it looked pretty bad. Cracks were everywhere and most part of the land facing the front gate of the kingdom is not leveled anymore.

    I walked slowly as I got near over the hell spawn, the soldier that are both from mine and the kingdom of the land were up on the walls looking at us with anticipation. I caught a sight of King Zergon whose eyes were fixated on me. I did not pay him no mind as I need to focus on killing this thing right now. Back then, the plan was to retrieve it but now, knowing that it might escape again and get the chance to wreak havoc again, I need to end it now.

    "Why so silent? I did not cut your tongue off." I spoke with a smirk. It only looked at me in silence. With every breath that it released, I very much wanted to puke as the smell was so putrid that I''d think my lungs are permanently damaged.

    "You think you can kill me Mornigstar? You are just as pathetic as Pyro. Weak and grounded by customs." It spoke with hate laced within its voice.

    "You know, I really might end up killing you with that filthy mouth of yours but before I do. I wanna know still." I spoke. It then looked very confused and did not answer.

    "Who told you to do this?" I spoke. I looked at it in the eyes and saw a streak of fear which caught my attention. So someone did ordered this creature to attack the kingdom.

    "Speak hell spawn." I instructed but it remained in silence and its eyes were no longer looking at me. Instead, I saw sadness within them but it was so quick as the hell spawn masked it again with the same fake gaze.

    "I do not speak nor reveal those who gave me orders. The hell spawn is bounded by a contract so if you kill me, that is if you manage, I will still not waver and tell you."

    I sighed in frustration and confusion. Not knowing what to do any further, I closed my eyes and held my hands up high.

    "By the power of the fire god that runs through my veins, I punish thy creature." I spoke and looked at it on more time. It did not yield any remarks and just waited for me. I sighed and shifted with the plan.

    "Slumber shall fall and awakening shall only dawn upon my recall." I motioned my hands down and the sky turned dark. The ground trembled as lightning struck with a loud bang and with blinding flashes that made those who are here to witness wince in sheer brightness. A ball of fire tore through the now dark clouds heading to where the hell spawn was.

    Everyone had their eyes wide and mouth hanged ajar. This was my first time summoning my ultimate elemental form and am quite glad that I was able to do it with no problems. The surrounding glowed bright red as the fireball drew nearer to the ground, closing on collision.

    The ball of fire collided with the hell spawn exploding upon contact. Shock waves then rippled throughout the nearby land sweeping the trees down to the ground. A loud sound of explosion then followed which made the spectators ears rang as they clung to their ears with an expression that tells it all. I on the other hand is not affected by what happened as I have read that using your ultimate won''t affect the elemental bender and commander so I watched with tight gaze as the hell spawn was slammed deep into the ground and was then buried by the molten lava that came crashing down on the whole that was created.

    The ground shaking started to died down as the last roar from the hell spawn was heard. The environment started to brighten up with every seconds that passed and the warm and dense air were starting to dissipate from the atmosphere. I closed my eyes and released a huge breath of relief. I noticed that it was already sunrise. I did not even know and only figured after the whole surrounding lit up after my ultimate.

    I was about to walk back inside the kingdom and head home but as soon as my legs started to move, I immediately was forced to kneel on the ground. I then realize that I could no longer feel my legs and no form of strength was in my body. Even breathing was kind of hard. Prince Kaval rushed towards me and swung my arm on his shoulder. He then started to stand up and asked me if I could walk. I did not answer and just did my best to move my legs but then nothing happened. King Zergon descended from the wall and walked towards us in a hurry. He looked at me with a smile which reminded me of someone I know have come to hate.

    He motioned his arms and then I started to float in the air as if there was an invisible bed under me. I stayed still, not that I have a choice and stared at the stars that were starting to disappear as the brightest one was already starting to ascend up above. I turned my head to the side and saw how many casualties were present. Some troops from the geo kingdom were badly injured and some from mine had the same thing going on. Air was starting to run short from my body as I felt that I was slowly breathing. I wanted to heave but could no longer do so. I may have gone to extreme extent that my elemental powers are not the only aspect in me that is affected but also it used up my physical strength in summoning my ultimate, Given that it was my first time and that I have already used a descent amount of elemental energy, summoning the ultimate took a toll on both of my energy aspects which leads to this. King Zergon noticed that there were quite a lot of people so he looked at me and asked.

    "Will it be okay King Hade if I use teleportation for us to enter the palace without speculating audience?" He asked. Me being unable to do pretty much anything, I just blinked an eye which means yes. He nodded and then before I knew it, I was inside their palace which had a very vast space. I wanted to look at every details that was inside here but my eyes was failing me as they were very heavy to open now. Just in time when King Zergon turned around, my eyes closed and I drifted into nowhere but darkness and silence. I could feel everything that was happening around me though. There were frantic people which I assume are the healers from this kingdom scurrying here and there. I felt that there were certain things being patched on my skin which somehow gave me a nice feeling. It went on for who knows how long. I was awake but wasn''t at the same time. Although I trust that they are healing me, if ever they do something to me while I''m unconscious, I could always burn their kingdom into ashes.
