19. Blade versus Astaroth II

"Opo!" (Opo-also a yes aside from the word Oo. When your talking to elders you should answer po and opo to show a respect.)

Francis left to continue selling... Blade and Hunter also stood up and even before they could walk they suddenly heard a loud bang and scream! Blade could not understand himself. He was very much nervous...

"The child!"

The two looked at each other and immediately went to the place. Hunter was stunned and Blade even bumped into his back.

"What is-!" Blade could not continue to say...

He immediately ran to Francis. He fell down and was bloody... The bicycle was wrecked. He was about to use his power when suddenly someone grabbed his hand and it was Azrael... He get even more nervous.

"You can't interfere with his fate. All you can do is help." he warned firmly.

After Azrael spoke, Blade immediately picked up the child and rushed him to the hospital. He literally ran and he knew that people would notice his unique ability. But he didn't care! He was followed by Hunter. He was in a hurry when they arrived at the Hospital.

"Help! Help the child! Faster!"

The staff immediately attended him. Francis was immediately taken to the emergency room.

Blade commanded Hunter to call Francis’s parents. Hunter investigate a while a go and learned that hit and run had happened. Francis was run over by a black pajero. A doctor approached them.

"Did you bring the patient?" the polite question.

"Yes, my friend and I. I was his teacher and we saw him have an accident. My friend already called his parents, they said they were going here, right away."

"Sir... The child needs a blood transfusion. His blood type is AB negative and we ran out of supply. We called the Manaoag Hospital and they will send the blood he needs."

"How is he?"

"Honestly Sir, it's not good. The patient needs to have a blood transfusion immediately. He lost a lot of blood and his body continues to weaken."

Blade clenched his fist tightly. He made a decision...

"I'll take the blood. In just five minutes, the blood is here! Hunter, you take care of Francis!"

“Okay, Blade!”

The doctor was amazed.

"Wait, Sir! The town of Manaoag is far away!"

"No problem! I will fly!"

"Huh?!" the doctor’s surprised reaction.

As soon as Blade left the building, he immediately changed shape and flew away. He didn't care if people saw him. The ambulance was just leaving when he arrived at the hospital.

"Is that what you are going to take to Pozorrubio City Hospital?" he asked hurriedly.

He already hid his wings.

"Yes, sir!" language of the male nurse.

"I came from there. My student needs that... I'll take it right away!"

"But Sir! No way! We are the ones authorized to bring it!"

Blade grabbed the box containing the blood bag.

"I don't care! My student is going to die!" he quickly ran away and immediately flew.

Blade was near the Hospital when suddenly someone attacked him. He falls and the box fell. Some blood bags fell from the box. He was on top of a building and he could clearly see the people and vehicles below that look like toys.

Blade quickly stood up and immediately took the box. He put the blood bags that had fallen inside.

"Looks like you're in a hurry, Blade."

He looked at the speaker. And he saw Astaroth's smiling face. Why now?! When Francis needs him!

"You animal! I don't have time for you!"

Yes, here in front of him now is one of the fallen angels he is hunting.

But, Francis needs him more!

"I did not expect that reaction." Astaroth said.

He laughed out loud and looked at what Blade was holding.

"Looks like you need to save someone. It's just that, you have to go through me first! If you don't defeat me, that blood will not reach your destination. Someone will die! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Astaroth suddenly attacked him!

But he pulled away and he almost dropped the box he was holding. He moved away from it and put the box in a safe place. He faced Astaroth.

"When you tell me where your other comrades is... I might even have a mercy for you, animal!" Blade's angry language.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! Ande lay atet, Blade! Mother-fucker! Let’s just fight! COSMIC BLAZE, YAH!"

But Blade used his wings as a shield. He wrapped it around himself.

"WING'S SHIELD!"

"Huh, you're still strong, ex-Captain!"

"You're still talkative! And that's all you have! ANGEL'S BOMERANG!"

But like him... Astaroth also used his own wings to make a shield. But Blade immediately rushed towards his opponent.

"ANGEL'S FIST!"

Blade covers his fist with lightning and he punch Astaroth’s face. He made sure that attack was solid. Astaroth, fell.

He was unable to stand up and wiped the edge of his lips. He looked at Blade sharply. He didn’t expect this! Blade was still strong.

While Blade is thinking that he could not give Astaroth the slightest chance. The life of his student depends on this fight.

"Bad trip! Wrong-mistake!" Astaroth blurt out.

Meanwhile... Hunter was stunned when he saw Azrael approaching . He blocked him.

"Why are you here?" Hunter asked worriedly.

"I'm sorry, Hunter. But a name is slowly appearing here on my list. Blade can do nothing. Nothing personal, it’s my work." Azrael said coolly.

Azrael showed Hunter the list. It is still vague written there and the letters are not yet formed. ‘Please, hurry up Blade!’ Hunter has not been able to leave yet because the parents of child has not yet arrived. Until he suddenly thought of something...

Meanwhile... Blade rushed the opponent again. But he could not focus much because he is extremely worried.

"WING SLASH!"

He hit Astaroth and the latter was injured and weaken. He was about to end the fight but suddenly!

"All right, finish Astaroth and this box will turn into ashes."

Blade looked at the speaker.

And he saw Brach holding the box. It’s right hand was covered with fire and he is going to touch the box. Blade stop from attacking Astaroth. He low his guard and stop moving.

"COSMIC BLAZE!"

Astaroth grab the chance, he stood up and attacked Blade, the latter just accept the strike.

"Ugh!" Blade falls.

It's not fair! Blade was alone and he couldn't concentrate because he was worried. Blade slowly stood up and look at his two opponents. He held a sheepish smile then he immediately rushed to Astaroth. But he suddenly turned in Brach's direction and snatched the box.

Brach and Astaroth was surprise from what Blade did. Blade finally, flew away but he two attacked Blade at the same time and the box finally fell into his hands. The contents then fell to the street and were run over by vehicles.

"NO!" Blade screamed.

Blade was stunned and he remembered Francis smiling happily with his energetic aura. He seems that he had even heard his voice. 'Hello, Sir Blade! Good morning!' Tears welled up in his eyes. He look at the two culprits, Brach and Astaroth were laughing at him! Blade clenched his fist tightly and greeted his teeth. Blade attacked Astaroth and Brach. He was so angry!

"ANGEL'S BURST!" It is an attack where the feathers on its wings separate and throw at the enemy as weapons.

He rained them down. But the two shield their wings. After the attacked had finish, they strikes him back. Both of them attacked an Angel’s Burst. Blade couldn't escape! He was watching the attacks coming on him. He was over!

"CRUSH CLAW! YAAAH!"

Drake arrives and rescues Blade. He used his claws to crush the attacks.

"Blade had a back up!" Brach said in surprise.

"Huh! I won't let you hurt my best friend!" Drake said smiling and pointed his nails.

"Why are you here?!" Blade asked in surprise.

"Hunter texted me! It has no time so he asked me to give an AB negative blood. Luckily, I have a lot of stocks. For I only drink that type of Blood for it’s rare. But anyways, don't worry about Francis. He's okay now. Hunter explains what happened to the boy’s parents. I can't wait for you at the Hospital anymore so I thought of picking you up. And I see now the reason why you are busy."

"Yes! I was trafficked by these two!"

Blade relaxed and smiled. 'Thank you, Lord... You did not let Francis die. You are really the best.'

Drake showed his true form... He pulled out his black bat-shaped wings. And lengthened his nails.

"Oh dear, Blade’s back up is a different kind!" comment by Astaroth.

"I'm really different!"

Drake rushed to Brach first. And the latter did not expect that.

"DARK CLAW!"

Drake seriously injured Brach’s shoulder and he had a hard time to fly.

Brach ran away and Drake chased him. They will pay because Blade's student almost died. Fortunately, he has a lot blood bag in the house that contains AB negative. Meanwhile...

"Now I have nothing to worry about. You will find what you are looking for!" Blade said seriously.

Astaroth just looked at Blade and he immediately rushed at him with his Cosmic Blaze technique. But Blade memorized his movements. He quickly escaped and attacked him with Angel's burst and immediately followed by Lightning Fist. A very powerful blow to its stomach.

"LIGHTNING FIST! YAAAH!" he poured a lot of energy into that blow.

Hunter arrives and quickly helps Blade. He thinks of following Drake because the two have not arrived to the hospital for a long time. Now he knows the reason! His eyes laid on Astaroth. They didn’t know that he arrived because they are all busy, fighting.

"ANGEL'S CHAIN!"

Hunter wrapped Astaroth's body in magical chains.

This is the technique that the opponents used with Blade back then. They combined all their Angel's Chains to defeat Blade and imprison him with a spell. Meanwhile, Astaroth was surprise to see Hunter. He didn’t notice its arrival that’s why he was not able to escape his attack.

"Blade, now! Open it, the gate of hell!" Hunter shouted at Blade.

Blade was stunned by seeing Hunter and Astaroth was chained. But a few seconds later, he recovered and...

"GATE OF HELL, OPEN!" a pentagram circle suddenly appeared on Astaroth's stand.

Blade and Hunter immediately moved away from Astaroth. The circle lit up and gradually there was a burning hole. It was slowly swallowing Astaroth.

"AAAH! Help me!" Astaroth scream in horror.

Brach witnessed that for he was not far away and Drake was still chasing him.

"No! The Gate of Hell! Blade was allowed to open it to summon us there! This is not possible!"

Drake looked at what Brach was looking at, and he saw what was happening to Blade's opponent. It was just the opening of hell and it was scary. He looked again at the opponent he was chasing and...

"Argh!"

Brach thrown a powder into the air and it targeted his eyes. Drake suddenly could not see!
