《Another Death》Chapter 26 - Tears

"Now then, are you ready my old friend" said Kiril.
"You don't even need to ask" said Oleg, and both men unsheathed their swords.
"But first, tell me who are you, and why are you disturbing this village?" shouted Kiril.
"It's culture to introduce oneself" spoke the woman with a serene, soothing voice "My name is Karna, and i have been ordered to deliver god's judgement upon this region"
"We don't want your judgement" coldly replied Oleg.
"We will kill you right here, right now" added Kiril.
"Full concentration" both men said at the same time, Oleg's entire body shined brightly and Kiril was engulfed in a flame aura, they both raised their blades, and jumped for a quick strike, but Karna grabbed both blades with her hands while the men were still in the air, and threw them on the ground.
Meanwhile Andrej and Katarina were leading the surviving people to the entrance of the village, where Olga and Vesna were treating them.
"There are a few people left" said Katarina.
"Okay, i will look if there are other people left here" said Andrej who flew up slightly and looked around.
"No people here"
"Okay, let's look here" said Katarina and she flew east.
"Okay" Andrej flew behind her.
"Tough opponent" said Kiril while coughing blood.
"Put down your weapons and accept god's judgement" said Karna calmly.
"We refuse"
"Physical attacks won't work let's try with magic" thought Oleg "Let's combine spells"
"Sure thing"
"Lumino omega" said Oleg and a ball of light appeared in his palm, before quickly expanding about one hundred times.
"Dragon roar" said Kiril and a serpentine dragon appeared from his hands, which circled around Oleg's ball of light and eventually combining with it, forming a sphere of bright coloured flames, which shot towards Karna, then Karna's eyes started tearing and one tear shot out and hit the ball of flames, causing it to become stronger and bigger, until it became too strong and neutralised.

"She cancelled our attack?" panicked Kiril.
"I see, you don't want to resolve this peacefully, very well, i will fight back" said Karna as she brought her right hand to her left eye, and tears that fell from that eye formed into three kitchen knives, which Karna grabbed and threw towards Kiril and Oleg, they managed to dodge the attack, but the knives left massive cracks in the ground.
Then Oleg used a east wind style move to swiftly cut her shoulder, which left a small cut, then Karna saw that Kiril was trying to attack her from above, which she blocked with her hand and she threw him on the ground, then Oleg attempted to strike her from the back, but she quickly turned around and stabbed him in the arm with another knife-shaped tear.
"Lion's fire" Kiril attacked Karna with a fire attack which took the shape of a lion, but she just neutralised it, and then threw another tear at Kiril which he dodged, but it instead hit one of the houses behind Kiril, completely destroying it in the process.
"Light rain" Oleg said, and a ton of light blades rained from the sky aimed at Karna, but she created a two layered shield out of tears to protect herself.
Then the men quickly appeared before Karna and slashed her from both sides, but she hit them with her palms on their stomachs, which caused damage to some organs.
"Why do you reject mercy?" Karna asked.
"We don't need to answer you" said Kiril.
"Tears of mercy" two circles of tears appeared in front of Karna, which she fired like bullets at her two opponents, who managed to deflect them with their swords.
"Sword of justice" a ornate sword made out of tears formed in Karna's right hand, and she went to strike Kiril, who managed to parry her slashes, then Oleg joined his friend and attacked Karna, she managed to parry their strikes for a while before they knocked the sword out of her hands, which left her defenseless, they used this chance to deliver several blows to her face and shoulders, she then jumped back several times, and regenerated her wounds.

"So she can regenerate too, she is one of the toughest opponents i have ever faced" thought Kiril, then faster than he could blink, Karna appeared before Oleg with another sword in hand, and slashed him on the chest.
"Oleg!!"
"I just slashed your lung" said Karna calmly "Protect yourself with magic however you like, you will just be prolonging the inevitable"
"Shit, if i'm going to die, i will bring myself down to hell with you, take this Light Blade Omega" Oleg said, and his blade stated shining brightly, then he jumped and attempted to strike Karna down from multiple angles, but she deflected every one of his attacks, before slashing him across the arm, which made him drop his sword, and then Oleg fell on the ground.
"Burning wheel" Kiril spinned in the air like a wheel with his sword in front of him while emitting fire, while he managed to slash Karna's arm, the attack left him with little to no mana left, so he fell to the ground next to his friend.
"Put your blades down, this fight is over" Karna said calmly, the two looked at each other and smiled, before jumping for one last attack, but Karna made a rope from tears, which knocked the swords out of their hands, and made them fall back on the ground.
"I guess this is the end, my friend" said Kiril weakly.
"I would say so, but i imagined a more ordinary death" replied Oleg.
"Me too, but this is the greatest death i could ask for" said Kiril, his voice getting weaker and weaker with every word he said.
"Yes, you are right, we left two strong and beautiful children behind ourselves" said Oleg.
"Mother, this is the last of the villagers" said Andrej while carrying a passed out man on his shoulders.
"Good work Andrej" said Olga.
"Let's go and help our fathers" Andrej called out to Katarina.
"Yes"
"Katarina, stay and help me with the treatment, i don't have enough mana for all these people" said Vesna.
"Yes mother"
"And you Andrej, go and fight" said Vesna, while Andrej was already running towards the place where the fight was happening, when he arrived and seen his father and teacher on the ground in defeat, a wave of confidence washed over him.
"Don't worry father, i will put an end to this" said Andrej confidently.
When he heard this, Kiril began to cry out of happiness "God, thank you for letting me live to see this moment, when my son finally becomes a man" Kiril thought as his soul was leaving his body, and he died with a smile on his face with no regrets.
"As your teacher, i think that you have changed completely, i regret that i couldn't see your true potential. I leave Katarina in your hands, make her happy" thought Oleg, and he too passed away with a smile on his face.
"I hope that our promise is still standing after the fight" said Andrej, unaware that they couldn't hear him.
"And now, whoever you are, prepare yourself"
