1078 Words
While Theo are buying time for Titan to come in and help him. Another danger in the form of Lavi, approached the planet blatantly. Naturally, when someone like him approach the planet, the army of the Ancient One that is stationed outside of the planet, started to take notice.
"Oh? They're actually here. I thought I would've need to go to the other side to meet them." From Lavi's word, it seems like he purposefully seek the army of the Ancient One. For what purpose? Still unknown.
The Ancient One Army look at Lavi and they recognized him to be the Ancient One favored one. So they didn't really show any aggression to him.
'It seems like they didn't see me in a red light. Which means, they're on my side. For now at least...'
"Give me a way. I'm going to kill Theo and Titan right now." As soon as Lavi said that, the ancient one army give him a path straight to the world. Naturally, Lavi went past them all but as he was going past them, he sent them a little gift that none of them realized was given to them.
'Mark of The End... I've planted them with my mark so that when the time come, I can trigger that mark and they would be erased from the face of the universe... Although this power of mine is that strong, I can only use it on something that is able to end. For Example, someone like Theo is immune to this power because he cannot be erased due to his control of time. Same goes to the Ancient Beings...'
Lavi planted a lot of Mark of The End to the army. To be exact, he can trigger it right now and take out more half of the army. But he didn't do it because they still see him as ally.
He only planted them for the sake of his own plan that he wanted to execute.
Anyway, without lingering any longer, Lavi entered the Planet undetected. He perfectly manipulated his aura to make himself invisible to anything and everything... His entire body made no sound. From Step, breath, even his organs made no sound.
The animals around him fear nothing, the leaves and twigs he stepped didn't crack or destroyed...
He felt something close to him... Lavi spread his aura around and find something. 'Underneath... It's... The Titan!'
Lavi smiled menacingly. As he found his first target. So, he quickly used his ability and phased through the ground and find a hideout that was perfectly erase any presence inside. But, no matter how good things hide, Lavi is still Lavi. Nothing can escape his sense no matter how perfect one hide...
Lavi take a gaze of the Titan condition. He's not really that wounded. Instead, he's just sitting on a stone chair and muttering to himself. Lavi hesitate to strike him straight away and instead, listen to what he has to mutter...
"With Theo and the Ancient One fighting, I need to find a moment to strike the both of them so that I can get the Ancient One power and erase Theo's existence... His being are my bane of existence... With Cataclysm power and bright mind, I would die if I'm not careful... But, I also don't know how to strike any of them right now... I faked an injury to think ahead but now the 5 Elder has entered the fight as well... Fighting against those crazy fighthead will only lead to anyone's death... s**t, beats me..." Titan let out all of the small little things that he wanted to let out. Unbeknownst to him, there's another threat lurking around him...
Lavi, who is standing still behind him who's ready to take him out and steal his essence, figured out a use for this bastard. 'It seems like he didn't even have me in his mind, which is perfect for me to move around.'
He resisted the urge to kill the old prick and instead, went back to finish up the job he initially take...
He reached the place where Theo and the Ancient One Elders are fighting... Lavi just stood behind the Ancient One, whom oblivious to the creature lurking behind him...
Lavi watched Theo and Elder Sword fight for a bit. From that fight alone, it's clear that Theo is losing the fight badly.
'That sword movement... It's similar to Sharion control over her Flying Raven... However, having such control means having to sacrifice the power. The Elder Sword isn't used to controlling his sword like this. He only does it to torture Theo who wounded his lord... While Sharion, She's at her strongest when using the Flying Raven...' Lavi has made his observation.
He also thought that the most dangerous person in here right now is the Divine Assassin. Because, he has been eyeing Theo. Not waiting for the perfect moment. But just to make sure that Theo isn't doing anything crazy.
'Hmm... The Divine Assassin is indeed a bit crazy... He is able to kill Theo at a moment notice... Yet he decided not to because he wanted to let the Elder Sword has his fun... If that's the case...' Lavi quietly make his way toward the elders and then planted the Mark of the End on their back. He planted it on all the 5 elders and then went back to the Ancient One.
'Well then, the seed of destruction and chaos has been planted. With the Titan and Theo having the same thought process of betraying each other, it won't be long till they started to eat each other from inside out...'
Then, Lavi just quietly moved his hand and then...
Plop.
His hand came out the other side of the Ancient One's chest. On Lavi's grip, is the Essence of Creation.
"Ugh?" The Ancient One felt his power leaving him and a strange black arm enter his vision.
The 5 Elders felt their connection against the Ancient One fade away so they quickly turn around.
"LORD!!!" Everyone, including the Elder sword who's torturing Theo, immediately came to the Ancient One's aide.
It was then, Lavi revealed his presence with the Essence of Creation within his hand.
"LAVI!!!" Theo screamed in anger. Lavi understood what that scream meant. It was 'How dare you steal it from me!!!'
Lavi just smirked and 'At the end of the day, I am the one who get the decisive strike!'
