Commentary on Chapter 23. S-rank mission. Part 5. An unexpected outcome.

 Enjoy your reading!

- Wow," Gildarts stretched out with a dose of nonchalance, "Since you've decided to fight at full strength, I shouldn't give in....

- Die man! - Astaroth roared, and hundreds of magic circles appeared behind him at the same moment.

- And this is already dangerous, - the mage calmly approached the slightly shocked Eros, and put him on his shoulder, - How do you feel about flying? - But seeing the incomprehension in the titan's eyes, he laughed and raised his hand up. The next moment a white wave of force hit from it, completely destroying the ceiling and revealing a clear blue sky.

Apparently having understood something, Eros shook his head violently, looking at the jolly mage... Only in flight did the titan realise that he could move, but it was too late.

- YOU OLD BASTARD! - echoed around the demon's lair for about a minute.

- And now, - the cheerfulness disappeared from the mage's face, Gildarts realised that this demon was not a weak opponent, because now he felt a little pressure from his side, and the mage had not felt such a pressure for a long time.

Gildarts behaved carelessly only because his apprentice was here and that he would not worry about him and would not get into the way.

- Come here demon boy," he turned to Astaroth and beckoned him towards him.

- DIE! - All the magic circles fired a multitude of spells, but Gildarts easily destroyed all of them and met the demon's fist with his own. The next moment, on the elbow of the demon lit up a scarlet magic circle and from there came a strong stream of flame and under the surprised look of the mage, he was thrown aside, but he managed to land on his feet, but the demon was already standing in front of him and with a smirk hit the mage again throwing him into the wall.

- It's been a long time since I've had one of those," Gildarts grinned at the demon's devilish grin and stood up grunting and threw off his cloak, "Let's keep going, this time I'm not going to give in," a white vortex of power swirled around the mage, "Don't die too soon!

"That old stump!"- Eros looked around, rubbing his bruised heel, and was surprised to see that the place he was in was the Duke's manor... A ruined manor with nothing left but a couple of walls.

~BUM!

A wild gust of wind blew out of the hole made by Gildarts, crushing the walls that remained intact.

~BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

From the hole, the thudding sounds of impact could be heard almost every second. And the pressure coming from the hole was better to keep silent. So Eros tried to leave the battlefield of these two madmen as quickly as possible.

Leaving the castle, he stopped for a moment as he noticed a body in an office suit. At first, Eros thought it was the butler, but approaching, the titan immediately threw it out of his mind, because it is very hard not to recognise the duke. Since all the people he spoke to described Everly as a small, plump man with a moustache and an unpleasant face.

But once he was in front of the body, Eros almost vomited on the spot, for the body had no skin at all, and maggots and flies were crawling on the visible parts.

- He must have been killed a long time ago," the titan said in disgust as he turned away from the body, but something surprised him, the clenched palm of Everly's hand. Through the flesh, Eros saw something shiny. And interest, overcame dislike. But he did not touch the corpse, but simply destroyed the palm and the golden key fell to the ground.

- Hm... - picking it up, he examined it thoughtfully, because it emanated magic power, which means that the key is not simple, - Alright, I'll deal with it later, now we have to save the children, or if these two get even more separated, they will ruin everything, - Eros took out another bracelet, exactly like the one he and Gildarts had, but this one was set to a different place.

When Eros looked at the shining crystal, he froze and a horde of goosebumps went down his spine, because if the crystal was burning so brightly, it meant that the other one was nearby, this guess made the titan shudder again and the closer he got to the two monsters, the brighter the crystal became and the paler Eros became.

"If the children are around, they're definitely going to be in trouble!"- Without thinking long, Eros began to crumble the ground beneath him, climbing down quickly. The lower he descended, the brighter the crystal became.

A moment later Eros, having once again destroyed the ground beneath him, the titan began to fall downwards, but he managed to regroup and fall to his feet. He was very lucky, for Eros fell right into the centre of the room with the cages containing the children, who were currently in a state of prostration from the fact that the titan had fallen from the ceiling.

"I'm a lucky bastard! But I'll praise myself later, right now I've got to get the kids out!"

~ BOOM!

- There's no time to explain, everyone out of the cages, we're getting out of here, - without waiting for an answer, the titan fired Destruction Bullets, destroying the locks, - COME ON! - while the children were leaving the cages, Eros went to one of the walls and started to destroy it quickly, making something like steps, - FAST!

When all the children had left the cages, they all followed Eros, who continued to make "steps".

- What's going on, what are those explosions?! - Julie exclaimed, catching up with the titan, who, with panic on his face, continued to do the ladder.

- Two monsters are fighting! - Eros hissed angrily, -No, one monster and one old stump! - He turned round and looked at the children, who were catching up with him very quickly, - "Thank God I made it..."- Titan thought with relief.

~BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The children following him shrieked at each collision of the two monsters, but Eros only flinched and prayed that the ceiling wouldn't collapse and sped up.After another minute he shattered the ground in front of him again and saw the light. Never in his life had Eros been so happy to see the sky. The children began to leave the "cave" very quickly and finally the titan could breathe a sigh of relief.

- HEY! There's Julie...! - A crying girl ran up to him and pulled at his shirt, - Julie...! - Sobbing, she pointed to the 'exit'.

- DAMN IT! - exclaimed the titan in his heart and ran back, where he saw a girl whose foot was pressed by a small stone and a guy who tried to move it, but was completely powerless, - "YOU'RE GONE!"

~ BOOM!

Without thinking long, he ran up to both of them and easily picked up the rock, to the shocked look of the guy, threw the girl on his shoulder, Eros kicked him.

- RUN FAST! - He didn't have to say it twice, seeing the titan's anger-filled look, which promised him a lot of pleasant sensations if he continued to stand still, he rushed forward, and Eros followed him.

But when they were almost free, there was a particularly hard blow and the exit began to collapse. Without thinking long and kicking the boy, he flew at a fast speed to the exit and after him, throwing out the shocked girl, Eros sharply rushed back, very quickly and as soon as he got out of the improvised staircase, it completely collapsed.

Never in his life had Eros been so angry and swearing as he was today, because of his anger, he completely destroyed everything in the room. The red-haired monster that had been watching him from the shadows and had been preparing to attack the titan earlier tried not to show any signs of life and watched him with fear.

- YOU BLIND ARSEHOLE, WHY CAN'T YOU LOOK AT THE FUCKING BRACELET?! - Eros hissed angrily, -YOU'RE OLD P*****Z, I'M ALREADY DEAD, I'M ALREADY DEAD! - Destroying the walls, he made his way to where the two monsters were fighting.

***

At this time, their battle was coming to an end. The demon looked hatefully at the mage who had taken his arm and left him in a very bad state. There was not a single living spot on his body, and most of the armour was useless, and it was custom made by the best masters of the craft. Astaroth had never in his life thought that he would be defeated by some wretched man, and that was what made him most angry.

Gildarts himself only got away with a few scratches and bruises, and he had a calm smile on his face.

- I haven't had such an entertaining battle in a long time, but it's time to call it a day, don't you think?

The demon hated this man with all his heart and at that moment, he lost the last crumb of reason. The sheets in the book next to him began to burn rapidly and all these flames began to accumulate in Astaroth's hand.

- I can't defeat you, - in a calm voice, the demon said, looking at the magician with hatred, - If I fall at the hands of a man, I will simply disgrace my father, so, to somehow save my face, I will take you with me, - the fire quickly changed colours until it became completely black, - My name is Astaroth, remember the name of the one at whose hands you will fall man.

- How much pathos, - the magic of destruction began to concentrate in the magician's hand, from white colour it began to turn into red.

- DIE! - A giant stream of flame flew at Gildarts, destroying everything in its path, but at the last moment, when the mage was about to attack, the wall behind the demon collapsed.

- WHAT?! - Gildarts exclaimed in shock when he saw Eros there, he sharply approached Astaroth, who was concentrated on controlling the flame, he hit him on the head, knocking his face into the floor, and the flame changed its direction, passing by Gildarts, - Eros, what are you doing here? - The mage had been out for a while now, at the strangeness of this situation.

- Where is the bracelet? - hissed the titan, looking at Gildarts with fury.

- I took it off so that I wouldn't accidentally destroy it during the battle.

- That's how it is," Eros tsked, trying to pull himself together, for he had forgotten that he had told Gildarts to take it off during the battle. The Titan realised that it wasn't the mage's fault, but he was too angry with him, - Can't you look at him once in a while? I almost died three times because of you while I was getting the kids out of that fucking place.

- I'm sorry..." Gildarts looked at Eros with a guilty face, "The enemy was stronger than I thought, and I was concentrating on the battle.

Eros shifted his gaze to the demon's body and at that moment, he felt a 'call', as if it was demanding to approach him. The Titan might not have listened to it, but this "call" came from the part of the magic that was responsible for the red energy that Eros could not summon. So he decided to approach Astaroth's body.

- Eros! Stay away from him! - shouted the agitated Gildarts and taking a step towards Eros, he sharply grabbed his side, "What a bastard!"- At that moment, strong magic waves began to emanate from the titan's side and a scarlet magic circle lit up on his hand, which like a vortex began to absorb the demon's body.

- AAAH! - As soon as the body disappeared, Eros screamed sharply, grabbing his chest, and the magic circle lit up above him again, and with each second the magic power began to grow exponentially. His body also began to change, his hair slowly lengthened and changed colour, from red to white, his skin began to turn grey and two dark horns appeared on his head. There were strange-looking orange veins on his chest, and tattoos covering his arms from shoulder to fingers. His eyes burned bright scarlet. The pressure that Eros was emitting was many times stronger than what came from Astaroth.

- What the hell...
