《An unknown world》Chapter 19: Battle (Part X)
Advertisement
The man who introduces himself as the leader of the Magia Banditas group named Gargon reveals his goal and the reason for achieving his goal.
"My only goal is to extract the Sky Castle's unlimited magic power supply become mine. The reason is I needed more power so that I could take revenge on the person who betrayed us during the Great Magic War 10 years ago."
The man has thick salt-and-pepper hair, has brown eyes, has a round face and has a full-figured body.
When Daemon heard the name and saw the appearance of the man, his eyes widened and said to the man.
"Are you... perhaps... Gargon, one of the Great General of the Imperial Demon Army Force?"
The man was surprised when he heard what Daemon said to him. He then looks at him as he tries to remember a familiar face, which he has close relation back at the Imperial Demon Army Force.
"Wait a minute. Now that you mention it. Aren't you Daemon, one of the best soldiers in the Imperial Demon Army Force? It's been a long time since we never hang out with each other, buddy?"
"Yes, I am. Yeah, it's been a long time since I last met you after the Great Magic War 10 years ago."
As they chatted with each other, Brittney was perplexed by the current situation and asks him a question. "You know him? I didn't know that you have a friend before."
When Gargon noticed the person next to Daemon, he then asks Daemon.
"Can I ask you something, buddy? Who is that person next to you? Is that the princess of Sky Castle?"
Daemon lowers his eyebrows and said to him in a hardened voice.
"Why do you ask such a question? What do you want to do with her?"
Gargon was stunned to see Daemon's sudden reaction. He then tries to calm him down by explaining his reason for asking such a question.
"Woah... woah... chill out, buddy! Why are you serious all of a sudden? Let me explain first. The reason I ask you such a question is because she is the princess of Sky Castle. She is the key for me to get the endless amount of magic power, so that I could exact my revenge on the betrayer."

"Of course, I know she is the princess. That is because I happen to be her personal guard."
"Haha! This will be so much easier for me! Dear princess, please lend me your powers, so that I... no... we could exact our revenge on the person who betrayed and killed everyone. Join me, Daemon! Together we could rebuild the Imperial Demon Army Force from scratch!"
"Sorry, Gargon. I refuse to let you use her for evil purposes. Please forgive me, but I also refuse to accept your invitation. Can we just forgive and forget about what the person has done?"
After he heard what Daemon said to him, he felt angry yet surprised with Daemon. "What are you talking about? Are you insane!? Forgive and forget about what the person has done!? After what the person has done to everyone, you still forgive the person's action? I guess this is the end of our conversation, then."
Gargon lowered his head and became silent for a while. Then he lifts his head and continued his words.
"I thought everything will go smoothly as I wanted it to be. But, what a fool I am. So, why don't we make a truce? If you guys win, I will let you do whatever to me. But if I win, you shall do as I say. Deal?"
Daemon only sighed and said to him. "Deal."
The battle between Daemon, Barry and Brittney versus Gargon, the boss of the Magia Banditas group, begins as Gargon attempts to attack them with multiple fire bullets.
Barry uses his psychic powers to erect a force field while Brittney uses her wind magic to create a double layered invisible shield to spread out the fire bullets.
Gargon then uses ice magic to freeze their surroundings. Daemon and Brittney counters his attack by using fire magic to melt their surroundings.
As Gargon keeps on attacking them with magic, Daemon realized something weird about Gargon and asks him.
"Gargon, let me ask you a question. How could you suddenly be able to cast magic? If I remember correctly, weren't you only qualified to become a Great General because of your superior strength?"
"Haha... don't you look down on me, buddy. Do you want to know why I could cast magic? That's because I did many research on magic until I could get void magic. Later, I realized I had potential in wielding magic. Tell me, do you not realize that this is all our brethren's magic?"

Daemon's eyes widened as he heard what Gargon said to him. He then asks him. "You... you... don't tell me... all of this belongs to them?"
Gargon only gave him a malicious grin. When Daemon saw his reaction, fear and confusion creeps into his mind. He then said to him in a trembled voice.
"You monster! How could you!? That does it. Show me what you got! Don't hold back your powers."
"As you wish, buddy. Now let me show you just how powerful my fallen members of Magia Banditas's magic can be!"
Barry and Brittney was shocked to hear the conversation between Daemon and Gargon. They were even more shocked to hear that they will be up against their past enemies's magic.
Gargon uses Chris's magic to create a magic sword made of strong, hard bones. He names the sword as Skull Bone sword.
After that, he dashes towards Daemon and attacks him. When Barry and Brittney tried to interfere in their battle, Gargon unleashes thousands of bone bullets towards them. Then spikes of bone grew out of the ground as it catches up on their speed and blows up behind them.
This made Barry and Brittney face multiple injuries. They then team up to interfere in the battle by using swords. Since Brittney doesn't have a sword, Barry creates a sword for her.
When Brittney receives the sword and tries out her sword skills, it turns out that she has a talent with swords. They then jumped into the fight and slashed Gargon.
After that, Barry, Brittney and Daemon combine their magic powers through their swords to form a combined ultimate attack, which they named it as 'Magic Trio: Ram Rush Beam'.
When Gargon manages to avoid a serious injury from Barry and Brittney, he once again manages to block their combined ultimate attack by slashing through the magic beam.
They were surprised at how Gargon could handle such an attack with ease. Then they attacked him separately with the most powerful weapons they have.
Daemon was the first one who lands his attack on Gargon with his Cursed Chaos Pyro sword. He was surprised that Daemon still held onto the sword after what they had to go through in their mission at Lava Rocks in Netherworld.
He only smiles and kicks him in the stomach with full force. Then Barry jumps in and attacks Gargon with his Psychamagia sword. Gargon could predict his attacks and jumps on top of him to land a bicycle kick.
Brittney then takes out her Sacred Spirit Bow and aims at Gargon. He once again unleashes thousands of bone bullets to counter her attack while he uses the Cerberus's wind magic to spread out her arrows.
He then throws wind bullets at her. When the bullets got closer to her, it exploded in front of her. The explosion of wind bullets sends her flying.
After they failed to land a fatal blow with their best attacks, they then leaped into the air and attacks him all at once. But their attempt was to no avail against Gargon.
He then said to them. "Hahaha... you are no match for me, you incompetent fools!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice said to him. "Ha... you think you're so powerful? You're the incompetent fool here."
Gargon was surprised and asked it. "Huh... where are you? Show yourself!"
The voices then said to him. "I'm right here."
Just as he was about to turn his body, multiple daggers flew towards him and slashes his entire body.
They were surprised that the daggers could deal heavy damage on Gargon. But Barry recognizes the familiar voice and dagger. The voices then reveal themselves to Barry and the others. It was Diego and Damon.
Diego then said to them, especially to Barry with a smile on his face. "Having a hard time on your enemy? Don't worry. We will assist you in this battle. Now, shall we end this fight?"

8 142The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
8 191The Human Traitor
Nearly two centuries ago, humanity committed a grievous taboo and liberated itself from the Worldrenders, a race of seemingly immortal creatures that dominates two of the three continents. The humans established the seven Foretoken families, swearing to never live in captivity again. In the present day, there is nothing but peace and poverty in Truweld. A poor young woman makes her money from raiding the Worldrenders' plantations. Meanwhile, a genius inventor, a man born from a Foretoken family, idles his days and his talent away. And from the northern mountains, the home of the Worldrenders, a boy with a troubled past marches to the land of the humans. He calls himself a Worldrender and wields their powers. His objective is simple: he will conquer the humans or exterminate them all. This is an epic fantasy story featuring three protagonists, a slew of high fantasy races, and several mysteries at its core. There is a minimum of one chapter (1000 words or more) each week. This story is also being posted on r/HFY.
