That Nerd has a Secret (PUBLISHED UNDER PSICOM)

Chapter 56: Eagle vs. Fox

Lumipad na sya pataas kung saan kapantay nila si Shea. The 7 apostles assembled into a sphere-like formation. They are covered with light, and an image of an eagle flashed before Eloiny's eyes. A very majestic view seeing the apostles of light fight together. Lahat sila ay nakatingin kay Shea, with their weapon accessory pointing towards her.

"How beautiful."

Nakakapanindig balahibo ang boses na dumagundong sa buong Underworld. Ang boses mula sa reyna ng kadiliman.

Shea gave them an evil smile. Napatalon si Eloiny sa likod ng headmaster dahil sa takot ngunit ang mga apostles ay walang pinakitang ni katiting na takot manlang.

"I've always been dreaming to have a battle with you. I want to know what Kiyan sees in you that he chose you to be his apostles." kasing lamig ng yelo ang boses nito.

"You never fail to amaze us Shea. Mataas talaga ang tingin namin sa 'yo. You really are full of surprises." sabi ni Alison sa kanya. Her golden hair shines amidst the sky of darkness. And her armor reflects from the ray of light Kiyan gave them.

She replied them with a grin. Nakatingin lang sina Seraphina at Zephyr sa kanila. Pero di maitatago ang lungkot sa kanilang mga mata. Lalo na ang ama ni Shea.

Tahimik lang itong tinitignan ang anak nya.

"It's not fair that only the light has apostles." A dark smoke came from Shea's body at kumalat sa buong lugar.

Ilang sandali pa, an extremely powerful magic just came out of nowhere. Mas lalo pang lumakas ang kulog at kidlat at dumilim ang kalangitan. A shadow of nine creatures descended from above. Showing the nine apostles of hell.

"Wew. Sa wakas." the Apostle of Violence roughly said while grinning. His eyes are burning red like he was being possessed.

They are terrifying. Monstrous. They are immensely covered with dark energy. A bone-chilling presence that you never wish to experience. Their eyes gleamed in crimson red. Demonic tattoos covered their body and their skin are painted in black and red.

A ray of darkness came from Shea and struck them. Nabalot ng usok ang katawan nila until they found themselves being dressed into a full battle armor just like the opposite side. An armor that cannot be easily penetrated by light. They assembled themselves into a sphere-like formation katulad nang sa Alpha.

They surrounded Shea at sabay-sabay na sinummon ang kanilang weapon accessories. An image of a raven flashed before Eloiny's eyes.

"That's why I like you, Shea." sabi ni Livius. The Apostle of Lust.

"Address her properly dumbass. She's our queen." sita sa kanya ni Ehra. The Apostle of Envy.

"I never thought that this day would come na magiging isa ulit tayo ng kaharian. Na magiging kakampi ulit natin ang Reyna. That offering was great though. Hihi." Sorah giggled and hugged her doll. Her doll has a huge scar on the face and its eyeball is hanging from its socket. Nakatahi ang isang mata nito at nakangiti. Naka braid sa dalawa ang buhok nito at nakasuot ito ng madumi na puting bestida.

She is the youngest among the Apostles. The Apostle of Sloth.

"Kelan pa nagsanib pwersa ang Underworld at ang Apostles?" tanong ng ama ni Shea kay Seraphina.

"H-Hindi ko rin alam. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ginawa ni Shea upang magkasundo sila." may bahid ng takot na sabi ni Seraphina.

"Masama ito. Alam niya kung ano ang ginagawa nya. Hindi sya kontrolado ng Goddess." singit ni Headmaster sa usapan nila.

Nagulat ang lahat nang biglang pumana si Paxton patungo sa kanila. It's arrow traveled so fast na halos hindi na makita. But Alzena acted fast and countered it by a gun that she's holding. A huge explosion occured in the sky kung saan nagsalubong ang tira nila.

"That's unfair. You just attacked without informing us." pilyang sabi ni Vishna.

"Dapat kami ang magsabi nyan."

The smoke subsided at nakitang may hawak na sphere si Paxton. Nasa harapan sya ni Shea. Judging from the light surrounding the sphere, nanggaling ito sa kabila. A sphere made of ice. Unti-unti itong natunaw at naging abo sa kamay ni Paxton.

He once pointed his arrow towards the apostles of light. Hinarap naman sya ni Alzena and pointed her gun at him.

Paxton is in his fox form. Ganon rin si Alzena. She has wings of an eagle and her hair became colorful feathers. Her feet turns into sharp talons that can slice up to anything.

"What about a battle between familiars?" the Goddess grinned.

Biglang nag iba ang paligid. From the sky of the Underworld, the setting changed into an arena. A very huge arena that is perfect for the battle between opposite forces.

A seat was prepared para sa Goddess, kay Shea at sa kanyang mga Apostles. Ganon rin sa kabila. But Kiyan is still missing.

Parehong nasa battle ground na sina Paxton at Alzena. Kahit sa aura palang ay nagtatalo na ang kadiliman at liwanag. No human or average being can survive this intense pressure and power. Parang hindi sina Alzena at Paxton ang nasa gitna ng arena ngayon. Both of them have the desire to fight each other. Like they were being trained and prepared for this historical battle.

Never in the history of this world na naglaban ang dalawang familiar. This is the first time na hindi lamang ang Hari at Reyna ang naglaban kundi pati ang familiar nila.

Biglang nagsalita ang Goddess na ngayon ay nakaupo sa kanyang trono. Katabi nya si Shea.

"The rules are simple. Who live wins and who die loses. A draw is not allowed. One of you must die and the other shall live."

Gulat na napatingin si Shea sa Goddess, "But Master..."

"No objection from God. So I guess it agreed."

"I won't allow it!" biglaang sigaw ni reyna.

"Do you not trust your familiar, disciple?"

Natahimik si Shea at tumingin kay Paxton. Nagtagpo ang mga mata nila. Paxton's eyes were saying something na silang dalawa lang ng Mistress nya ang nakakaintindi. Biglang umiwas ng tingin si Shea at naikuyom ang mga kamay nito.

Both familiars put themselves into a fighting position. Each holding their weapons.

"The Familiar of Light vs. The Familiar of Darkness. Let the battle begin."
