《Master of Cards. *Reborn*》Chapter 33 : Abazmantisk
Advertisement
Luca was running straight into the streets, his hand held the rifle. Taking aim, setting the rifle on full auto. Leading the storm of hail to his enemies, forcing them to stay down. Pulling out the pin of a grenade, throwing it. Watching it bounce off a wall and into the corner.
"FRAG!" A loud zip was heard, following it up by an explosion. Luca looked to the left, watching Jonah punch an APC sideways. Then digging his fingers to rip a hole to see the Avalon soldiers inside.
"Get away! Get away!" They screamed as they fired their guns at Jonah, yet Jonah was laughing at them. A sinister laugh, and the darkness slipped into the hole of the APC.
"Come here you bastards!" Jonah stepped inside, Luca just watched body parts fly out of the whole. That was just how Jonah was, always gungho and running into things like a battering ram. Luca turned to see Ciara who placed her hands onto the cheeks of an Avalonian soldier, where they watched her body burn into black flames. Screaming into the soldier which caused them to melt into a pool of flesh and blood.
Ciara was not a combatant like the others, she was more of a 'Horror' kind of fighter. Kael on the other hand was slashing through the soldiers. They fired their guns at Kael, watching him dodge their shots at him. Kael dashed through the gunfire, trying to close in the gap between himself and the Avalon soldiers. He went for the limbs instead of heads, their screams were fuel. Not for Kael but for the Avatar of Souls.
Luca continued with using his guns, using magic just to cause an EMP wave to disable their electronics. A tank battalion ahead of him stopped moving. Luca gathered lightning bolts to his left hand, readying to blast another shockwave ahead. Then watching Kael and Jonah jump above him. Luca swapped the AK for the AR-10 rifle. Channeling lightning into his arms and through the rifle.
Pulling the trigger. The shot struck a sniper at the building that was roughly 3 kilometers. A shockwave that disabled all forms of technology within a 3 kilometer radius, Jonah pulled out the pistol. Joining the others on the front line, he was going into this at point blank range. Firing the pistol into the neck of an Avalonian soldier. Pushing the soldier aside, emptying the rest of his magazine into the others that were stationed behind. A quick reload. Luca went on ahead as he collected residues of electricity from all around him.
Kael was wielding Baihua with his right hand. Kuro-Hana in the left with a reverse grip. Kael took a deep breath as he bent his knees, looking at the dozens of Avalonian Soldiers before him. Dashing with the speed of light, Kael moved his hands and body to strike the enemies at their intended positions. Their limbs were reaped away like a child taking out the limbs of toy soldiers. The gunfire echoed all around them, echoing a melody inviting war and destruction. Kael continued ahead as he swung the blood to a tank that was in front of him. It took aim, firing its 120mm cannon at Kael. There was no smoke, but two explosions in the distance instead. Kael held Baihua in his hands.

"Bloom, my beautiful flowers." Kael said as petals surrounded the entire area. Kael sheathed Kuro-Hana, black cherry blossoms blanketed the area before him .Turning all of the Avalonian soldiers into nothing but skeletal remains. Their flesh, skin and souls had been robbed by the blade.
Luca was running on ahead with lightning by his feet, leaping into the air as he fired off lightning charged bullets. The sniper positions that the Avalonians had were destroyed. The entire buildings were vaporized from existence. Leaving nothing behind. The reporters and journalists took note of it all. Watching Luca land in front of her, then raising his hands to the Avalon battalions behind her. Clenching his fists as large hands of earth emerged from the ground. Grabbing a hold over the tanks and pulled them all down into the earth. Luca continued on, leaping to a building.
Luca took notice of Jonah who created spheres of darkness. Encapsuling the Avalonian Army officers and they seem to be mad. Not angry, but insane. Though that was how Jonah has always worked, fueling the darkenss of his with fear allows him to shift it all to the Avalonian army with ease.
"Where are our fighters?! We need air support!? Ground troops are getting pushed back!" Luca heard it on the radio by his earpiece.
"Who is attacking us?! Weren't we able to push these damn Abazens into surrendering!? What's going on!? We should have the upper edge!" They then heard a voice of one of their own. Pleading for mercy, asking for a quick death. Yet, the voice on the other line spoke.
"Did you give mercy to the ones you killed like dogs? You hurt the women and children. You left traumas over these people. Yet you are asking me for mercy." Luca heard the voice, and he already understood who it was. Avatar of Peace, Serenity. Avatar of Peace but also of the unavenged. The voice of the one who begged for mercy, was heard. They heard his screams and no matter how they tried to change the frequency it did not stop.
This is the thing about Serenity, the Avatar of Peace has a blood thirst greater than the others. Kael would only view these soldiers as nothing but lambs. Jonah views them as toys and Luca views them as targets. Serenity however, views them as insignificant specs of dust. Luca watched as the fortress that housed the greatness of Avalon Military in Abada was now filled with screams. The entire capital could hear their screams, this was the Avatar of Salvation's doing.
Windgates appeared in front of Luca.
"Luca. I'd like to run a plan by you." Windgates asked.
"Shoot." Luca said as he fired a shot into the head of an Avalon soldier. The body was instantly turned into a bloody mess with the skull being left on top. Etched with name and crime that they had committed.
"I plan to go back to Avalon after we're done here. Just to piss off my family and make a grand public speech."
"You're going back to Avalon to detest your country's action?" Windgates nodded to Luca.

"You know they're going to throw you into prison and never let you see the light of the day." Luca spoke as he reloaded the pistol.
"I wish to believe in my family, Luca. If they cannot be swayed then I do not mind killing my own family for it to work." Windgates said, he could see the worry in Luca's eyes though Luca's face was blank as a piece of paper.
Kael appeared to join their conversation with his entire outfit stained by blood.
"Heard about your plan,Windgates. You sure you are up for this regicide?" Kael asked, not out of concern but because Windgates was someone who had been dealing with matters such as regicide. He would kill every one related to the nobility or cabinet. Every time being incarnated as a person related to a tryannical rule, a dictator, a fascist or whoever that held the most power.
"Seeing this at first hand. It makes me wonder if I should have just killed them when I reincarnated. People in Avalon live far too comfortable. Besides I've already seen their fake Avatars. They have a total of 200 Avatars. All of them, obviously are false. Even the 72 of them at their full power would not even do anything for any of us." Windgates said to Kael.
"Have fun, Windgates." Windgates smirked as he vanished. There was silence in the capital of Abada. The silence as people stepped out of their homes and rebel warriors turned to see the figures that had aided them. Luca kept his mask on, but spoke to his people. Their language was far different than what the others had heard. It was akin to a language that was on its way to deaht, yet by these people were it on its last legs.
Yet Luca spoke to them peacefully, as Serenity had not reacted negatively to anything that was spoken. The Avatar of War did not call for war, but he called for the people to prepare themselves for their oppressors will never take anything laying down.
"He's a damn good speaker." Serenity spoke to the others.
"Can you translate? The rest of us are barely able to keep up." Ciara said.
"He used an old proverb here. Just because a lion's fangs may be taken away. It does not change that it is still a beast. He's also telling them that he is not calling for war. He just wishes for the people of Abazmantisk. To be free. To not hide and be afraid. To be a country. They have tried to be peaceful but the oppressors refuse to give reason." Serenity translated for them, she paused as Luca continued.
"His voice is cracking."Serenity let out the remark, it brought concern from the others. They were trying to figure out if that was a bad sign and if there was something else that was bothering Luca.
"He's happy." Kael said to the others.
"Remember what Luca said in all the times we met during our 52 cycles? He wished he had power to save his people. Now he's got it. He can liberate his country." Kael spoke to the others.
"He's telling them that we are his allies but we do not take off our masks." Serenity translated as they all float to the ground, landing on their feet in complete silence. Luca was actively speaking with them.
"Thanks to you guys. We managed to avoid major casualties. Though I'm sorry if we aren't hospitable." Luca said to them, as they watched how a kid walked up to them and tore a piece of bread. Passing it to Luca, Luca knelt to the girl taking off his mask. Speaking to her in his own tongue.
"Hey. We should do it." Jonah said to the others, Ciara, Spring and Winter understood what he meant. The four of them stood in front of each other, beginning their chant. Speaking languages only known to their Gods. To the people it sounded like harmonious singing but to the other Avatars. It was the call for many things. Many blessings. Pure rain that would bathe them all. A gentle wind that blows to keep them cool. The sun's radiance that gives them warmth and watching the trees that were dying turn to ash. Slowly sprouting into seedlings.
"I'll stay up and remain watch. Luca. Go ahead and do what you need to do. These people will need a leader." Luca looked at Kael who was floating to the sky.
"Baihua. I release the seal that bind your powers. Show them what it means to bloom in death's stage as my Celestial Executioner.
Kuro-Hana. Unchain the seals that you put on your own body, put these animals down as the Divine Slayer.
Ga-eul. As your name means Fall, then rain destruction upon them as my Seraph Destroyer.
Banshee, sing me a melody. Lead me to temptation and bring me desecration as my Angelic Whisperer.
Black Symphony and Radiant Sonata. Where there is light. There is darkness. Where there is life. There is death. One cannot exist without the other. I shall undo your seal, Radiance of Gray." Black Symphony and Radiant Sonata held hands as their foreheads connected. The two blades combined together as Kael float above the ground. Kael flew to the position of the Avalon army that was making its way to the capital.
Kael looked at the army. An army of 5,000 soldiers. 25 tanks. 30 APCs. 10 helicopters and even 5 squadrons of fighters.
"Radiance of Grey. Erase my enemies before me." Kael said as he swung the conjoined blades once. Erasing the existence of such a force, but leaving behind their equipment intact. No signs of blood. No signs of struggle or even anything else for that matter. Kael's other blades went on ahead to fight in their own fronts. The seals unleashed means they could go as wild as they wished, but as per their master's wishes.
