Floating on the clouds, he was. Staring at us with a predator's eye watching his prey, he was. There is no doubt, he is a member of one of the twelve sons of the Sun.
He starts to descend slowly with a carefree look. He reaches the ground, slowly puts his hand on his chest, closes his eyes and bows.
Kron - nice to meet you, humans. I am kron, 9th son of the sun god, I came on a mission of peace to your planet.
Mr. Aoba takes a deep breath and starts walking towards that being.
Aoba - peace mission? You destroyed my home and everywhere around it. Give me a good reason not to kill you here and now.
Facing that being who destroyed his home in an instant, Aoba showed no fear.
Kron - as I said, sir. "I came on a peace mission". But if you insist on getting in my way, I will show no mercy.
Aoba - if you came on a "peace mission" what do you want with us?
Mr. Aoba was very direct while looking deep into Kron's eyes.
Kron - I came to make a proposal.
Aoba - and what proposal would that be?
For a few seconds the two remained silent, looking into each other's eyes, neither showing any fear of each other.
Kron - I look for Sanada Haruo, give him to me. In return I will not take their lives.
Aoba - "Sanada Haruo" right ...? How long has it been since I heard that name? Yes, long time. He's probably dead.
Kron - I will not leave until they give me proof that he is alive or dead.
Aoba - that's great, because I wasn't going to let you go until I killed you.
He said those words looking deep into Kron's eyes, the look in those two indicated the beginning of another battle for the life of the universe.
Kron quickly tries to punch Mr. Aoba in the face, but he defends using his shield. The impact of the punch on the shield was so strong that a wall of dust rose around them. As soon as the dust settles, I could see that the two were still staring at each other, each with the same look on his face, confidence on their faces.
Kron tries to hit multiple kicks, but Aoba defends everyone using his shield with a defense outside his series.
Aoba - you know, you were unlucky enough to meet me, the best and strongest bearer of the shields this planet has ever seen.
Kron jumps back and advances on Aoba again using a punch for the attack. Aoba not only defends himself from his attack, but takes impulse and raises kron by throwing him upwards using his shield. Floating in the air, kron says:
Kron - fufufu ... You are not bad, old man. Join me, I will not only spare your life, but also give you power.
Aoba - I'm sorry, but I have a duty to protect this place with my life.
Upon hearing his words and watching him demonstrate his courage and strength in the face of an enemy as strong as himself, I stop being afraid and get up. I walk over to my swords that had fallen and put them on the floor, keep one in its sheath and keep only one in hand.
Kron is constantly attacking Lord Aoba, but he repels all his attacks with his shield. But without him noticing, I quickly step forward, intending to cut off his head. He notices my presence and puts his hand in the middle to defend himself from the attack, as soon as the tip of my sword touches his hand, my sword splits in half in reaction to contact with Kron's body. Mr. Aoba is perplexed, not believing what he has seen.
Emilia - huh…?
He takes me by the head and throws me against the ground, making a crater with the impact.
Aoba - bastard!
Mr. Aoba furiously advances on him, kron's hand changes and becomes a mega technological weapon, this weapon seemed to glow in light blue. The two of them start at each other and their forces clash with Mr. Aoba's defense and Kron's laser attack. Energy lasers spread up and down when they come into contact with the center of the shield, which has a flattened surface, but do not pass through the shield or touch Mr. Aoba, who repelled the laser.
Meanwhile, I was slightly finished, before hitting the ground, at the last second I activated the Resistance technique, dampening the impact. I faced the sword from afar, the same sword that had broken with the attack. I was wondering how such a strong being could exist, Eleanore had already told me that the metal of these swords was indestructible, but how without effort did he break it, how could that be possible?
Kron disappears, but Mr Aoba felt that he was not gone, he feels strong winds over him, so he concluded that:…
Aoba - super speed, I understand ...
Kron - damn it!
And at a high speed, behind Aoba's back, he attacks with a punch. But before the punch catches Mr. Aoba, I jump right in front of him using the Resistance technique and take the punch in Mr. Aoba's place, receiving all the impact of the disaster he was going to do with him. Even putting myself in front, I am still thrown away, as a result of having jumped in front, I ended up taking Mr. Aoba along.
Still in the air, Mr. Aoba picks me up and tries to put himself on the ground using the tip of the shield and his hands to dig into the ground. He succeeds, and at the first opportunity he drops me on the floor waking me up.
Kron quickly appears in the skies, his other hand becomes another laser cannon, he starts to shoot at us non-stop. Before that, Mr. Aoba activates his Defense technique, a tremendous spherical blue shield appears around us, reflecting Kron's laser attack.
Kron starts attacking from all sides with his lasers, even so, Mr. Aoba creates more and more shields forming a fortress around us. He undoes the laser cannons and begins to attack the hand, with attacks at the base of the punch against the shield, even so, the shield did not break, it only left small cracks, but soon it regenerated.
Frustrated, he takes flight, raises his hands to the sky, his cannons appear again. And little by little an immense ball of greenish energy formed above his hands.
Kron - behold! The immediate end of you, filthy creatures !!
He was already beside himself, completely frustrated that he had not yet killed us. He points with his finger towards us and immediately the ball of energy moves towards us.
With every second that passed I could see death approaching to come and get me. Is this the end of me? Was this supposed to be my end? I can't even cut him, I can't even stand up, I'm a failure as a person. It wasn't just me who was fearing death, even though I kept the defense barrier standing, I could see that Mr. Aoba was scared and worried about that approaching attack. As a way to comfort him, I crawl over to him, touch his foot and transfer my mantle of resistance to him.
Aoba - how do you ...! What do you think you're doing ?!
Emilia - I'm nothing! I don't know how to do anything! I'm a useless complete who's a little lucky! That's just me !!!
He didn't understand anything, his eyes were fixed on mine as that ball of energy approached bringing our end. He looks up again, very angry, until he grits his teeth.
Emilia - they need you more than me ...!
And with a smile, I stared at him as tears streamed from my eyes as a way of saying goodbye.
Was that supposed to be the end?
It was supposed to be the end. But at the last second, at the moment of the last breath, hope shone for us. It was in the blink of an eye that that risky situation turned in our favor. After that, an explosion came that was soon consumed by a light that illuminated the whole place.
I open my eyes and realize that I am still alive, I look at Mr. Aoba who was still keeping the defense barrier standing, his eyes could speak for themselves, indicating that what he had seen was something impossible to do. I look ahead and am amazed to see who was before us, the someone who had contained kron's destructive attack.
Colossus - I'm sorry I didn't come earlier, blondie.
It was colossus, it appeared as a light to illuminate our path, just the one I least expected to come to save us.
To be continued…
