FAMILY ABOVE ALL: BATTLING AGAINST GODS

 

Arlo laid on the ground as he gazed at the crimson sky.

A large pool of blood formed around him.

*Haa, haa.*

He panted heavily, his eyes a bit blurry.

...

Leo could feel that the life force of his two brothers had completely vanished.

He gritted his fangs in anger, as his two huge eyes turned blood red.

A huge claw swiped at the Torkun's chest sending it flying.

Even though the Torkun was a peak-beginner mage, the stone spear had heavily injured the Torkun when it broke out of its restraint, so its movement had become sluggish from the blood loss.

*Whoosh.*

Instead of finishing off the injured Torkun, Leo dashed at the sprawled-down Arlo.

...

[Arlo's POV]

'I feel weak.'

I was taken out of my reverie as all the hair on my body stood on end.

I could feel a life-threatening danger quickly approaching me.

*Swish!*

A wide-opened maw flashed instantly above me, about to tear off my neck.

Reflexively, I raised my left arm to defend myself.

*Chump!*

Massive fangs tore deep into my arm as I felt a heart-tearing pain transmit from my left arm to my brain.

"AAAAAAAH!" I screamed from the immense pain I felt.

"Brat, my brothers died because they wanted to capture you alive. If not, would a weakling like you be able to kill them?"

While he bit into my arm, Leo's voice drifted into my ears.

It seems he didn't notice my battle with Rio and Dio, so he had no idea about my strength.

"However, you can die now. Because of you, I lost my two brothers. Your death shall placate their souls."

*Crunch!*

I could feel my left arm about to be torn off from my body.

A feeling of unwillingness welled up in me and a glint of madness flashed past my eyes.

Gathering 50% Ki into my right hand, I sent it smashing to the side of his gigantic face.

*Bang!*

Leo's head was knocked to the side, but he still refused to let go.

Leo's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"This brat…"

He couldn't finish his words though as my right fist smashed into his face once more.

*Bang!* His huge eyes rolled back into his head.

*Bang!* 

*Bang!*

*Bang!* 

In my fit of madness, Leo's jaw refused to let go.

Now realizing how strong I was, his own eyes flashed with madness too, as I could feel his resolve to kill me.

"Die!" I sent out a fist once more.

*Bang!* His jaw slackened, but he still refused to let go.

*Roar!* The Torkun roared out and approached us.

It gripped Leo's huge tail and tried to yank him away.

However...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I screamed out in utter pain as Leo pulled my left arm along with him. I could feel half my arm detached from my left shoulder.

As if realizing its mistake, the Torkun stopped its pull, as it wobbled on its feet.

I could tell it was almost out of gas as even now, the amount of blood it was losing was simply enormous.

'I must hurry.'

Gritting my teeth, I willed 100% percent Ki into my right fist and smashed out for the last time.

The muscles on my right arm totally split apart, and a rain of blood was released from my arm, pieces of flesh falling off, with hard bones exposed in the open.

*Baaaaaang!* My right fist smashed into Leo's left jaw.

*Crack!* My right hand bent at an unnatural angle as his jaws finally loosened.

However...

Four of Leo's fangs flew off, his eyes rolled back completely into his head. It was evident he fainted from the shock.

*ROAR!*

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Torkun gave one last heroic roar as it grabbed Leo from the back and threw him backward, sending him in a suplex.

*Bam!*

Leo landed on his neck.

*Crack!* His neck snapped at an unnatural angle as he died while he was completely defenseless.
