Chapter 20 - Ancient Ruin

They all stood up after finishing

They're food and walked to the Ruins "we have to be ready just in case someone is waiting" Aurelia said they both nodded they hoped they would find something

Useful [Your reward is no ready do you want to open it?] The voice told ash

He nodded as a white cloak with a hood appeared on him [ability:purify souls]

New ability and clothing nice.

Then Aurelia got her reward it was a glove with a moon symbol on it

They finally got there and two guards waited by the door and saw them "you cannot enter" one of the guards said but Aurelia just walked pass them so they cuffed her "I guess fancy pants over here wasn't listening" one fo them said and took her inside but seris stopped them "please wa-" and she was knocked out then ash tried to help but was knocked out too.

Then they woke up in cuffs they still had they're clothes and ash had his cloak but they're weapons were gone "Hey lume" ash whispered to lumina "can you help break my cuffs" she spawned and turned of her light so the others wouldn't see her as she broke his cuffs "Thanks lume" Then he slowly stood up and un cuffed them with his super strength "we all could have done that" ash said.

Then they stood up and ash put on his hood so no one would see his face and he saw a gaurd "Hey sir could you come in here I have a terrible wound" He said

So the gaurd came in and they knocked the gaurd out and took his keys and walked out the cell.

"Ok this feels, easy" seris said then guards surrounded them "you just had to say something" Ash said as they got taken to the king of the island "I am king verdin"

The king said "oh hiiiiii king" seris said "I'm sure you came here to seek for shelter because of Aegis, right" the king hit it somewhat on the nose.

"So Aegis is back at it he calls himself the guardian of the temple but from the way I see it he's just a back guy making up some silly excuse to kill" verdin said

"Ok I understand why you came" He laughed "that crazy fellow could never get any thrill from killing regular humans" then he got serious "he's dangerous and lot smarter then we make him out to be" verdin gritting her teeth.

Then he stood up "Ok I'll deal with Aegis later right now thought, you have to leave" verdin said "we understand" Aurelia said before getting up And walking

Away then The other two followed "we need to go to the others temple"

Ash said before turning around "take me to the temple" he said.

"No" the king said "yes do it I need answer who is Aegis heck mabye just to find something just let me go" ash persisted "NO" verdin yelled "gaurds take them away" verdin said as gaurds rushed towards ash but ash kicked ones help before talking the other ones blade and stabbing the guy holding onto his ankle.

"Take me now.." Ash said then the king got down ready to fight ash "Then you leave me no choice" Then he put on brace knuckles and threw a punch at ash but ash dodged and countered with an upper cut

The king still hadn't seen his face only his mouth.

"DO I need to keep going" ash said and Aurelia was about to help him fight but gaurds showed up so her and seris decided to take on the gaurds instead

"TAKE THIS!!!!!" The king said and the queen froze ash in place making ash get hit in the face.

Then ash heard the voice [you can purifie a soul] it said and he saw soul of the man he killed and he purified it's soul [the man is forever grateful and is now loyal to you and will aid you if ever needed] The voice said and he asked for help so he tried it and summoned the gaurd he killed it was a glowing all yellow version fo the gaurd.

Then the soul rushed at the king but the king dodged but then the king froze

Blood dripping from his chest as Aurelia turned around and saw ash had a sword through his chest "i-i failed" the king said before dropping dead [Congratulations you have killed king verdin do you want to purify his soul?] It said

"Yes" ash replied.

Then ash summoned the king and the king appeared by his side

And the queen was enraged "HOW DARE YOU" her ice power went haywire

But the the king killed his wife with one punch ending the fight [Congratulations you have killed the queen do you want to purifyher soul] The voice asked.

Ash nodded as the queen came by his side "kill the gaurds" ash gave them the

Then gaurds rushed at him and he dodged one killed that one and sliced one head off And used the throne and tossed at one of the gaurds killing him then hpused the ice that the queen had and stabbed someone with it then threw ice shard at the gaurds head killing them Then he hit one of the pillars as Aurelia and seris and the souls dodged the other gaurds were killed

and with in an hour or so all the gaurds were dead it was roughly around 600 to 700 guards in the building fell by the hands of they're king

And ash purified them all.

So now he had an arm beside him and he was tired so he made them disappear for now as Aurelia and seris poisoned the last few gaurds that were almost dead

"That was tiring" seris said then ash was glad they were there or he might have died fighting those gaurds so the help was very much need then he looked at them.

"The temples we go" ash said holding the blade while walking towards the temple and when they finally got there Aurelia questioned ashes ability's but she brushed it off same for seris.

As they looked at the sun and moon crest on the floor and Saw mini water falls at the side and in the middle was in eclipse "whats this supposed to be?" Ash said

As he rummaged through the temple trying to find anything and he saw white gloves and picked them up "my lucky day" He said putting on the gloves.

Then seris found some concoctions she could uses for her magic

And Aurelia spent most her time looking at the eclipse

Then the eclipse rose and as a statue looked at them.

What was this no one knew but they knew it wasn't good.
