Chapter 7: Why Can't You Kill?
“No, Teiga! "Jake and Sky yelled at the same time. Kenji would have been worried about his sister, too, but he had used a lot of strength during his last maneuver and needed a little break first. Her two admirers wanted to jump into the water immediately without thinking, but Lenya's warriors had already drawn their bows (strange, demons usually specialize in close combat) and waited for one of them to come within range. So Jake stopped, but Sky jumped into the sea. At the same time, the demons shot their arrows and aimed at Sky. He went underground, but was still hit, which could be seen in the gush of blood that rose to the surface. Damn that too! Hold on a while longer, Teiga! “Don't stop, kill him! He mustn't reach her! Fire Fire! ", Lenya called to her people and they pulled out new arrows and let them rain down again on Sky, who was also hit because he couldn't evade in the water.I can't stand it a third time, but I still have to bring Teiga ashore. So quick! Sky went into hiding and barely escaped another attack. Far ahead he could see Teiga, still paddling desperately to come to the surface. However, she did everything wrong and was dragged further and further down.
She's been underwater too long, now or never! He threw a small ball of energy in their direction to draw attention to himself (he loses even more energy as a result). She actually looked around and saw him. She pushed off a boulder that was behind her and was carried right into his arms. He brought her to the surface as quickly as he could. Teiga wanted to thank him, but Lenya shouted: “Damn it, he has it! You idiots, I'll take care of that myself! Power of the water, I ask your help! Devour these two traitors in your depths! “The waves around them grew stronger and a vortex formed beneath them.“Well, Sky, now it's my turn to save you. But I have no idea if what I'm planning to do will work out, so you'd better get to safety as soon as you can! I beg you, dead souls, give me the strength to protect my friends. You who serve me unleash your true power! “Immediately the water that was supposed to destroy them receded and then disappeared completely, so that now everyone was on dry land. That surprised everyone, including Teiga, because apart from the attack she had used against Leilani, she never knew what her strength would unleash. "Hmm! Your power has probably risen too! But if you think this will save you and your idiot brother, you are wrong! Draw your swords and destroy them for good! “Sure, Lenya again. “Um, I think we should get back to the others first. Fighting them all in twos would be somehow suicide ”, Teiga shouted to Sky, but when she turned to him and saw how wounded he was, she had to carry him for better or for worse: She quickly lost her lead and the demons got closer and closer, but now (finally) the people from Talleca also attacked.She ran right past them and watched the people being torn to pieces by their opponents. Only Lenya didn't seem to care and kept coming up to Teiga. Kenji straightened up and prepared for another attack, although Yuna wanted to persuade him to rest again.
Meanwhile, Teiga turned back to Sky. "You wait here, I'll see what I can do about them," she said and picked up a second sword that was lying on the ground. “It's okay, I can easily deal with them, I'm not that bad after all. But I'm afraid you'll have to do it yourself! “, He replied and pointed to Lenya. Teiga nodded and ran to meet her mother without another word. Incredible, Sky thought. I didn't think she would risk it. She stands in the way of the most powerful demon of all without changing a face. I have to help her.
He tried that, but he couldn't get past the demons that were pouring towards him and, whether he wanted to or not, had to leave Teiga alone and protect Kenji and Yuna.“You still want to face me? You'll regret that, ”Lenya shouted to Teiga when they stood face to face. Teiga didn't answer. Well, now it's getting serious, she thought. Let's see how long it will take to totally wreck me!
It took exactly five minutes for Teiga to collapse. Neither of them wanted to use their magical powers, but Lenya didn't need to either. She was much faster in hand-to-hand combat than Teiga and although she tried hard, she had no chance. "How do you want to die? I'm sorry, but it definitely has to be very painful. You can only choose whether with the sword or with a special attack. “Teiga hardly heard her mother at all, she was so weak, but there was no way she could give up! She tried to straighten up, but managed, and raised her blade. Suddenly a shadow stood in front of her and took her view. “If you want to kill her, you have to get past me first!“At first Teiga thought it was Sky who was protecting her, but then she recognized by the voice that it was Jake. "Pah, a person! What a pathetic race! Do you even know what you want to save there? ", Lenya replied. Jake raised his sword and stood even closer to Teiga. “Of course, do you think I'm blind ?! I saw clearly that she has divine powers! How else could she have made the water disappear? She is an angel. “For a brief moment Teiga's heart skipped a little because she thought he knew she was a half demon and would protect her anyway. But she must have been mistaken. But somehow she took it as a compliment that he had called her an angel, knowing that angels were good for people.
"Stupid human. But well, then you will die with this belief! ", Lenya called and rushed towards him. Teiga knew that this was probably the only way she could stop her mother.In a flash she ran past Jake and ran towards them. Lenya, too surprised to react in time, was knocked over by Teiga and thrown to the ground. When she recovered from the blow, she found Teiga standing over her, raising her blade to stab at any time. "Stop, wait! Think carefully about what you are doing! ", Lenya yelled at her daughter. I won't let you kill me, never, she added in her mind. "And why should I? But your big mouth didn't last long! "
Meanwhile more and more people gathered around the two and forgot about the fight. Some demons wanted to help Lenya, but she gave them a sign not to do anything. “Teiga, you know better than anyone what I've done because you were there. You thought it wasn't true, but I taught you to recognize the enemy when faced with you and you did. But don't you think you got the wrong one this time?“, Lenya asked. She knew all too well how easy it was to influence Teiga and now she took advantage of it mercilessly. “What do you mean by that?” She answered, as expected. “Don't listen to her at all, kill her on the spot! ", Sky called from behind her, but Teiga ignored him and quietly waited for Lenya's reply.
"Very easily. You know why we want to destroy people, don't you? They wiped out many of us, almost wiped out completely! And why? Because of guys like that! “, She said, pointing to a man somewhere behind Teiga. When she turned around, Lenya saw her opportunity. Quickly she jumped up and hurled Teiga against a rock wall.
As if on orders, the other demons threw themselves into battle. Sky wanted to help Teiga, but couldn't get to her because of the many enemies. “Foolish brat. Now you have to pay for turning me against me! “Lenya raised her sword, Teiga wanted to defend herself, but Lenya was too fast, she could just raise her hands for protection.That wouldn't do her much good. "NO! ", Jake called, threw himself in between and Lenya impaled him directly. “Oh god, Jake! How dare you, you will pay for it! "Cried Teiga. Sky and the others had now fought their way to her and were now approaching her. “I don't have the strength to defeat you in hand-to-hand combat, but I still have an alternative! “I ask you, dead souls, give me the strength to destroy this demon. I am sacrificing my body and soul for one final attack and ...! “She didn't get any further because Kenji and Sky held her back. “Stop it, that will destroy you too! You can't sacrifice yourself! “Teiga tried hard to tear herself away, but she didn't have the strength for that either. “That is the point! There is no other way! “, She answered her two companions. Lenya meanwhile had pulled her sword out of Jake`s lifeless body and called her troops to retreat.“So far, you're ready to go and kill me. Well, I didn't want to know more. And better take care of Sky, I want to destroy this traitor myself. Not now, though, I've shed enough blood for today. Talleca is also freed from people, the three of you are the only ones left, "said Lenya, gathering all her warriors (personal note: incidentally, there is no equal rights for demons, Lenya is the only woman there, and only because she was the one at that time Leader) and mumbled another spell that made her and her people vanish into thin air.
With "you three", Kenji and Sky were of course worried because they couldn't see Yuna anywhere. After a half-hour search it turned out that she was only lying under a boulder, but hadn't injured herself (she even killed two demons) (just for information: Kenji destroyed 15, Sky 27 and Teiga not a single one there she was busy with Lenya).Teiga had not taken part in the search and had lain in the sand and remained silent the entire time. Shortly after she found Yuna, Sky came over to her and sat down next to her. "Everything OK with you? He asked because it was the only thing that came to mind. Teiga answered only after some hesitation: “Why did you stop me? With the attack I would have done it ... "Sky shouted:" The risk was far too high! You would have had to sacrifice your soul for it and you would have died. And not just you: It would have destroyed the entire island and with it Yuna, Kenji ... and me. “Teiga straightened up now too, but didn't look him in the face. "Should I be honest? I wouldn't have cared. In order to destroy Lenya, every
