Will of chaos

Pov Alan (Hero of Justice):

When that tyrannical Aura appeared out of nowhere, I noticed that Karina and Diana weren't affected much, they were both close to me and I could feel their Aura containing something that rejected Celestino's Aura.

But I couldn't resist, my Aura was beaten into my body to the point of feeling like I was being burned by the light, in the corners of the shortcuts I saw Darcia retreating holding one of the arms that was cut and Bianca pale with her body shaking.

"(This can't go on like this.)" (I)

"(What are you going to do when you can't even move.)"

Suddenly it was as if everything was slowing down as my mind raced with panic, I realized that Darcia was being chased, I realized that several attacks were being launched in Bianca's direction and I realized that Diana, Karina, and I were being surrounded.

"(No, this can't end like this...)" (I)

"(You are outnumbered and against an opponent that even wounded is too strong to face.)"

The army of light troops were moving, the Aura that was oppressing me seemed to be strengthening them.

"(I have to do something.)" (I)

"(I must do something!)" (I)

"(Faced with a greater power, your will is worth nothing.)"

I suddenly realize that Darcia is managing to run even under this pressure, I can see the exhaustion and pain in her expression, and that's when I realize the direction she's running.

"(She's trying to defend Bianca...)" (I)

"(All this is useless, she won't arrive in time.)"

I wanted to run to Bianca, but I was being surrounded and that pressure wouldn't allow me to move like I normally do.

even in this slow world, I noticed that Karina and Diana looked normal, their faces were serious, but they didn't show fear, I couldn't understand what was giving them such strength.

"(Their fight is also useless, they are too weak.)"

At that moment I remember something that my history teacher, a Priest of the Temple of Justice once told me.

"(You must remember that all Soldiers and Warriors fight for their ideals, for them that is Justice, it gives them strength to face a battle they may not come back from, so never belittle soldiers just for being stronger, their resolve may surprise you.)" (teacher)

"(Empty words if you don't have the power.)"

For some reason, the image of that Vampire comes to mind, on that day of the attack he faced the Judge of the Law who at that moment was stronger, but his face didn't show fear or doubt, he just like them now, don't allow themselves the thought of lose.

"(Try life and grow you, idiot, that's how you'll find your Justice.)" (Zenos)

"(Why listen to a criminal you hate?)"

I couldn't understand where all this was coming from, but little by little image after image came into my mind, some simple images like giving candy to a passing child, some images of killing bandits on a trip, and other images like the fight in the city where that Aerial Dungeon appeared.

Then that image of Zenos' fight against the Judge repeats itself once more and I hear Bianca's voice.

"(This fight is not yours.)" (Bianca)

Those words were strange to me, it was the first time she said that to me, I couldn't understand why that fight wasn't mine, I couldn't understand why Zenos' companions and Familiars let him face such a dangerous enemy alone.

Why was he fighting?

Why am I fighting now?

"(Why do I fight?)" (I)

"(You are fighting for the same reason as always, for this is the right path.)"

"(Who decides what is justice? What is right?)" (I)

I knew the answer to that, that Vampire had punched that answer in my face a little while ago.

"(I'm the one who decides.)" (I)

If I'm the one who decides, then the answer for me is simple.

"(So finally realized?)"

I look at Darcia and Bianca who are in danger, then I look at Karina and Diana who are being surrounded along with me.

"(I will protect them!)" (I)

This time I pushed that tyrannical Aura out of my body, my whole body was shaking and full of pain, but I didn't care.

"< Heroic Incarnation of Thunder >" (I)

"< Shield of the Innocent >" (I)

"< Lightning Field >" (I)

I integrated my Aura and Thunder Element with my body, I ran towards Darcia while ripping off my armor throwing it towards Bianca while activating her ability to betray attacks in a certain aerial.

When I reached where Darcia was I stopped between her and her pursuers before pointing my sword forward making lightning fall from the sky onto the soldiers, but unfortunately, my attack was blocked by a feather that created a shield around the soldiers.

"I will doubt no more!" (I)

Ding!

I felt something rise from within me and suddenly the Aura didn't seem to weigh on my body like before.

-----------------

Pov Diana:

When Celestino appeared I thought of using all the power of the Fenrir God, my body might not support it, but I know Zenos wouldn't let me die, not without trying something stupid.

But as I considered whether or not to use my power as Champion to the fullest, I felt an Aura shift beside me, it was the Hero's Aura, I could feel threads of Authority rising before he exploded in power and dashed out of the enclosure he was in we were heading towards his companions.

It was only then that I realized Darcia and Bianca were in a difficult situation, but at that moment when I was about to do something reckless a red blur appears like a comet hitting Celestino while pushing him into the forest leaving a trail of destruction along the way.

"what was this?" (I) 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

"Help." (Kira)

"< Embed Spirit: Byakko >" (Kira/Byakko)

I hear a voice close to me, then a light flashes, and something very fast goes through me, hitting all the Templars that were surrounding us.

But that wasn't the only change, I saw Lilian and Elsaris joining the battle with their families as well, I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face as I exchanged a look with Karina beside me.

"Is ready?" (I)

"To fight? Always!" (Karina)

He and I ran to join the battle.
