The tamer traveled from the city with his great agility, moving his legs harder and faster than he had ever done before in his life. The mountain path was a great trouble to the male but as he followed his map with the help of the moonlight he knew exactly where to go. ’Artificial light attracts demons and enemies, so that flashlight was completely useless.’ the male thought as his body appeared and disappeared in seconds, as he bound from mountain to mountain; Ignazio’s body was like a moving shadow, it was constantly dashing through the darkness and appearing in the light of the moon. Suddenly the male came to a stop as he reached the center of the entire range of mountains and found himself at a large crystalized door. Ignazio walked slowly towards the door and then pushed on it to find the base to be nothing more than a giant cave that traveled deep underground. The cave was clearly crafted with gold and ancient ruins. Ignazio found himself walking deep into the darkness of the cave along a stairwell that seemed to reach the core of the very Earth it was built out of. Coming to the end of the long stairwell he found himself circled by man men with swords, axes, and heavy guns, in the distances there was a small sense of Qi in different areas of the cave aimed at him. Ignazio looked around in the corner of his eyes as he scanned his area, and noticed everyone had a black bandana on. The tamer smirked and raised his hands into the air and slowly reached into his shirt after loosening the tie and unbuttoning the top three buttons of the white shirt to reveal his gold gem and finally the ruby one. The men and women started to back off and welcomed Ignazio and began to introduce themselves. Ignazio smiled and tilted his head to the side before giggling. ”Ignazio Barthomeloi, it’s nice to meet you all, I’ll be playing the role of your King for this exam, please take care of me.” he said before walking forward towards the golden throne that seemed to be fit for a King.
The tamer started to laugh as he sat down and looked out towards everyone whom looked at him as if they were either afraid or interesting in what he would have them do. ”Well, this goes without saying, I don’t personally plan on sitting here all day and night waiting for the enemy to attack us. So those of you whom are Aria if I’m not mistaken you’re all playing the position of Rook or Bishop correct? If that’s the case, you will be our eyes. Aria have the ability to track Qi for a great distance, so because of this you’ll be in the scouting parties as well as in main defense parties around the Valley of Screams.” Iganzio said as he crossed his right leg over his left and then leaned his head over to the left and rested it on the bald side of his left hand and smirked. ”As you know, our target is from True Cross Academy, I will say this I don’t know a lot about Titus, but I will say he is a demon. He has yet to reveal a demonic origin yet in my presence so, we’ll want to attack him with speed and precision.” Ignazio continued as he barked out orders.

People started to have discussions of their own before being silenced by a burst of Qi released from the tamer’s body as he began to charge his energy. Most of the members of the team drew weapons and entered into a defensive stance, while the King sat on the throne looking bored yet annoyed with what he was seeing from them. ”I have no problem winning this on my own, but if this is truly a game of chess, I like to win without losing a lot of my pieces, so in order to keep you all alive, I’d appreciate if you listen to everything I say and follow your orders precisely.” Ignazio switched his legs that were crossed allowing his left leg to take over the top of his right before he returned to speaking. ”Good. Now, like I was saying.” he said before taking out the burner phone and opening it causing a map projection to spread out of the center of the phone. ”Judging by the number of people here, we have about ten aria on our team, I’d personally like a few more, but that’s fine those of you whom are secondary aria will have to prove to be our scouts, while the primary aria will be our defense.” Ignazio said as he continued on with his plan.
”Because of the given terrain, I’m pretty sure the enemy won’t go through the heavily snow guarded area of the Glacial Village, due to the route being long and being closer to our camp we have more hiding places and more time to set up traps there, in order to not risk having a blind spot, we’ll only send a small troupe of people out that way in order to set up sensory traps, Secondary Aria, will be on patrol duties of every squad that’s sent out. Our main focus will be the fastest and easiest route to travel through, so we’ll take the Hill of the Cross route to the Wandering Forest in order to reach the Triet Ruins. It will give us a constant temperature to work with and also keep the energy level at neutral. ” As Ignazio explained the plan he got up from the throne and began to walk down towards the group before expanding the map and bringing up live camera images of the different environments through the Vatican camera crew that was broadcasting the exam. Ignazio pointed out the differences in the areas and the demonic activity chances within the areas based on the environment, he then took into account the possible strategies the enemy could take on. ”Now, every squad will either have one knight or a fighter, there will always be a dragoon on each squad and there will be either a tamer or an aria. Scouting teams will make up of Tamers, Arias, and Dragoons. Doctors will not take the front lines and will be on a special medial team of an Aria, a doctor, and then a fighter. I want dragoons posted around the mountain range within our Aria sensing range. Be nine hundred meters away from the closet Aria and be at least five hundred meters away from each other. Bird eye view on the north, east, and western walls.” the male continued as he looked at the phone and then checked the settings and smirked. ”Your phones have a radio setting, it works like the military walkie-talkie, which will work for quick communication between each of the groups and home base. So I’m only going to explain these codes once, so listen up.” Ignazio said as he projected his voice through the group and then looked up at the picture on the live video feeds. The tamer then explained the codes in great details utilizing the colors and the chess board pieces to his advantage. ”Does everyone understand? If so, let’s go win this war!” he said as he punched a fist into the air and the group started to cheer and head out to the exit to start on their specific assignments as they were assigned by Ignazio.

Within the night filled valley all that was heard was the wind and the flap of a coat that followed Alaric as he ran on top of the sand. He weaved side to side around the large rock formations. With every step he left a small trail of sand in the air, but it settled very quickly. Alaric destination was team black base of operation, The Valley of Screams. With Alaric speed it didn't take him long to exit the city and make it to the valley. He knew exactly where to go since the map was pretty detail and also he could feel a small trace of Qi within the valley itself. As he approached to his destination he caught glimpse of people within the rock, "Good they seem to be on alert means we don't have to worry about an ambush. Now that I think about it I wonder how they will know I am part of their team?" Suddenly Alaric stopped in his tracks when a gunshot was shot in front of him, he could see the shine of the moonlight on many barrels of guns, "I guess they wouldn't," he said with a sigh. One of the dragoons screamed out that they will not let anyone harm the Black King, Alaric let out chuckle, "I know he is playing the King, but I swear he is really enjoying it," he said following with another chuckle. Alaric grabbed his bandana from around his neck and lift it in the air, "My name is Alaric Erzengel I have the pleasure to be your knight in shining armor," he said with a bow. As he rose he could see the barrel of the guns move away from his location. The one that shouted told Alaric to follow him to the base.
Alaric tied the black bandana around his neck once more as he followed the dragoon. They walked up to a gate door that was in the giant wall of rock, he let out a small whistle, "Fancy door." The door slowly open and Alaric made his way through the door, he thought that they were going to enter something fancy, but it was only a large cave, "Slightly disappointed, oh well still looks cool," he muttered. He looked around too see that they had their own little army among the black team. Their was many different type of student within the team had a every type of meister type. Finally they arrived in a room that resembled a throne room and of course he gazed upon the brown hair tamer, Ignazio. Alaric bowed, "Hello my king I apologize I wasn't here sooner," he said with a smirk. He arose and looked around once more, "I see you already whipped these guys straight? I expected nothing less from the True Cross King." Alaric was pretty impressed that within what might have been less then an hour he got all of them to follow him. It was true he played the king in this war, but still its impressive.

Ignazio looked down from his throne and started to laugh. ”Yeah? I like chess and puzzle games, this is a pretty easy test seeing how Titus is the King on the other team. Unless he has someone else pulling the strings and turn the King into let’s say a Knight or something, then this battle might actually be interesting, but that would be a method to lure us out. Too bad I plan on watching the battle from the skies.” Ignazio said as he continued to longue in the chair before closing his eyes out of his own boredom. Ignazio opened his eyes and then began to explain the plan over to Alaric with the same speech he had given before to the masses only a few minutes before. Ignazio was happy that his formation had worked well already, and having sharp shooters along the main points made taking out enemies easier. ”Well, seeing how Lloyd isn’t here, I really don’t trust anyone else to be at my side out of this group, for the simple fear they could be this so called traitor. So, because of that I’m going to have you as my personal guard, kill anything on sight is the rule, and if you can’t slay your opponent, at least knock them out. Most of the people here don’t want to kill the others so I figured if you’re like them, that is the least you can do with the role of Knight.”
Pushing himself up from the chair he began to approach Alaric and moved down the rows of lights before stopping a few feet away from the male. ”I do have a small task for you, you can do me a favor for now, and help set up traps around the mountain range.” the male said as he reached into his blazer and grabbed a stack of sacred sutras. ”There are twenty sutras here, place two sutras every two hundred meters from each other until the end of the main entrance from the door. Once you reach the end of the path which should only take about six sutras, place one sutra either on the ground or on the mountain walls. One sutra every five hundred meters. Once you are down to your last four sutras place one sutra at the entrance of the valley on the post of the bridge, then the other three on the west entrance, east entrance, and the southern entrance of the mountain range. Take a small squad with you if you’re afraid to go alone.” Ignazio said as he started to stretch and then yawned as he was a little tired after his bath at the hotel ”I would do it myself, but I’m beat right now after my little display earlier. You know we rich people don’t get enough exorcise so we tire easily. You understand right?” he said as he lowered his arms and extended the stack of sutras out to Alaric. ”If you’re going to take a squad with you, take either Team Iblis or Delta Squad.”

Alaric listened to Ignazio speech about their plan, he nodded a lot during the time Ignazio spoke. After he spoke Alaric began to talk, "That is a very interesting plan you have there. I can see why they all quickly followed you. If was them I would have done the same. I seen your formation first hand, but I have to say they were pretty merciful which was good on part" he chuckled a bit. Alaric was a bit lucky that these men didn't want to kill others because if they were like Ignazio or even Lloyd then Alaric would be dead, but that's if they had the skill too. Which Alaric doubt they had to skill to shoot down Ignazio, Lloyd, and himself, but they can surely shoot down any other with ease or at least he hoped they could. Alaric chuckled once more when Ignazio couldn't trust anyone else other then Lloyd and Alaric, but it seem like he trusted Lloyd more then anyone which he couldn't blame him they were friends before Alaric met either of them. He bowed his head, "I am honor to be given such trust. I promise I will take down any enemy even if its death," he said before he looked back up at Ignazio, "But I will avoid killing anyone from our school. I feel like that would be rather awkward." Alaric had no real problem killing someone from another school, but to kill one of his own was out of the question; however he will if he has too.
Alaric watched as Ignazio pulled out a stack of sutras and even before Ignazio said what he needed to be done, Alaric already had an idea what the tamer wanted done. Alaric knew that Ignazio did like to use sutras for defense or some type of trap. The half breed took the stack of sutras from the King's hand, "Understood. I will take a squad. Granted I can handle much on my own, but I rather not do this type of work all by myself. That is rather boring." He smirked before he turned to face scatter of different men, "Squad Iblis follow me," he said as he made his way out of the base. The squad he request started to follow him without question, he turned to look at the squad and then turned back to face the exit, "I can get use to this." When they made it outside the cave Alaric started to point at the walls, "You heard the King. About six sutras so three on each walls," Alaric barked orders to the squad. He was rather enjoying the fact that he could order people around, it was even more fun because most likely most these men were Exwire and they were being bossed around by a page.
After the sutras were placed on the wall, "Alright now placed them on the ground and the wall. Do it randomly. Don't want them to see a pattern if they spot them" he said as he walked towards the bridge. After they placed ten sutras on the ground and the mountain walls they had four left. Alaric took one of them and gave one to three of the men and told them to place them in the remaining areas and meet back up at the base. Alaric placed the last one he held on the entrance of the bridge. "That should do it. With this we should have a good defense. Quite honestly I have no clue what these will do, but knowing Ignazio it something flashy and entertaining," he said before he disappeared from his spot. He appeared again running back to the base. While running he was able to meet up with the three men he sent out. It only took them about thirty minutes to place the sutras through out the valley.
When they made it back to the base the doors to the cave opened up for them and they all entered. Alaric made his way into the throne room to meet up with Ignazio, he bowed, "They all been placed like you instructed, your majesty." During this exam Alaric was going to play along with the roles that were given because too him it made it more interesting.

The tamer congratulated the group by clapping his hands ”Thank you everyone for your hard work and helping Alaric out, I know he’s kind of goofy. Thanks for tolerating it.” Ignazio said to the team before they laughed and walked away. Ignazio’s eyes narrowed and then he closed his eyes as he began to focus his energy on the talisman spells that were written in order to activate them into their defensive mode, allowing them to blend into the area they were attached to. Soon his eyes opened and then he looked at Alaric and smiled ”Great job, you followed my instructions perfectly. Now, that this little four wall barrier is in place, we really won’t have much to worry about. My energy is flowing there these talismans, so my power is their power, a normal aria wouldn’t be able to break through it once I activate them.” Ignazio said as he chuckled and moved his hands through his hair and sighed. ”I miss Lloyd, it’s going to be a pain to actually have to fight against my best friend. If anyone can break through this barrier once it’s activated, it’ll be him. He’s got something that I’d like to have my hands on personally, but I guess any Knight would want it.”
Ignazio sighed out of sadness and boredom, but he never stopped thinking, he took into consideration that Victor, Akemi, Joushi, Lloyd, and Alexandria weren’t in his camp so that made them all enemies along with Titus who was the head of the other camp. Which meant he had a pretty strong heavy hitting team; ”If I have to count Lloyd out, then we’re going to have a lot of trouble facing him in battle. Most of the Knights here won’t be able to take him; and the ones that could I’d rather take on Victor who doesn’t have a weapon. Joushi’s pretty much a trained assassin, Alexandria is a doctor, and it would be stupid to put your medical squad on the front lines, then you have Akemi, she’s a good shot, but not the best ever, her demonic powers is what makes her a threat. Victor is a moving tank. We have a tough challenge coming our way if Lloyd truly is on the other team.” the tamer muttered out loud and began to bite on his nail on his thumb. Soon he removed his thumb from his lips and pointed at Alaric. ”Alright, so, we need to not leave this area and draw the enemy to us. How comfortable are you going with Garuda to the enemy base and causing a little trouble? If we can draw them to follow us with a challenge they can’t resist we can at least get them close enough for me to reveal my trump card or catch them in the first unit strike or in the flood. Then again, we could always lure them to the base itself and blow it up. That’s always an option we should have enough fire power for that.”

A message came across the phone radio ”Report from the southern wall, Salamanders are on their way, camp will be breached in about five minutes, requesting backup to engage.””Western wall also reporting in, Salamanders coming this way too, awaiting orders””Sir, this is the Northern wall, they’re on this side too. We’re surrounded. This doesn’t seem like a typical flight pattern for low level dragons.”
As the reports came in about the attacks on the base by a demonic threat Ignazio sighed as he stood up from his throne and made his way down the stairs slowly and placed his burner phone up to his ear before pressing a single button to make an announcement. His eyes remained closed as he projected himself outside with his Qi activating the talismans power in order to expand his range of sight. Ignazio’s eyes opened after he got a Qi response of the enemy. ”Defensive line alpha and beta, commence aerial assault. Knights and Fights, prepare for ground based combat, Dragoons and Arias, bring them down, I want them all lowered to center of the valley, and we’ll take them out in one fail motion. Tamer unit you’re with me, we’ll be waiting there in the middle of the valley for attack pattern alpha and delta. Doctor unit will remain in the base.” Ignazio ordered as he walked passed Alaric and before anyone could notice him take another step Ignazio was on the top stair in front of the door. The male proceeded to walk outside into the dark and then smirked as he heard the roar of the dragons. ’Lesser Dragons, attacking in a pack like this; it must be feeding time. Of course this happens after I send out the scouting parties. It must be a specific trap from the exam, signally we are starting to bore the fan base. Rich conglomerates like my father and the other Exorcist families, not to mention the demon spectators. Well then, let’s give them a show.’ As Ignazio’s right foot stepped on to the dusty rocks his hair rose a little above his neck before his body vanished once again before he appeared on top of one of the mountain paths above the base entrance, then once again he vanished. The male continued to use his great speed to appear and disappear, leaping from mountain range and running along the ground and the Knights who were running to their positions; as Ignazio ran next to the group of Knights he moved ahead of the group shocking them of his speed. ”Captain Mii, bring your squad with me and the other tamers.”
After the man agreed Ignazio’s body pushed forward with a burst before vanishing. Rocks, curves, and small lit paths was all that Ignazio passed until he reached the center of the mountain where there was nothing but lit torches. It was a perfect plan set up, Ignazio wasn’t sure who was on the other team with a military background, but any way to lead a fly to a trap was with light. The torches they found within the cave proved useful to light the paths of the mountain, allowing them to make multiple trap locations within the perimeter before being able to figure out the correct path to get to the base itself. Only those whom were apart of team black knew of the two paths that lead to the base, while the others were all decoys that had dead ends or even lead to traps and ambushes. All they really needed were high tech cameras in order to really catch an enemy off guard.
With a skid across the dirt and rubble, Ignazio arrived and entered formation. His combat boots crushing the smaller rocks underneath his feet; a smirk came across the tamers face as he stood up and placed his left hand on his hip. ”Guess we just found dinner for the next few days. I hope everyone like Sukiyaki! Time to carve up the meat guys!” Ignazio yelled as he changed his position and moved his right hand behind his back and raised up his blazer slightly to place his hand on one of his throwing knives that was slid neatly into a holster of six; three on each side. His left hand in front of him with a knife hand shape at the ready. Ignazio didn’t plan on summoning his familiars unless absolutely necessary for this exam, the third exam is when he planned to show his true power.

The first wave of Salamanders began to approach the group from the pass as dragoons fired at them and continued to fall back into the opening. Ignazio waited for a second before removing his first throwing knife with his index and middle finger. Ignazio watched the entrance just as the first one made its way inside and soon more entered the opening and charged the group. ”Tamers!” Ignazio called out as the group began to summon their familiars. Ignazio made sure to keep a watchful eye as he watched the different familiars being summoned. He kept a note on who summoned what as he leaped out of the line of fire as the salamanders began to breathe fire. ”They are fire breathers, alright, in that case, we can take them out easily without damaging the meat!” Ignazio said as he slid to yet another stop and then pushed off the balls of his feet as he made a swift dash down the line using the throwing knife as a dagger almost stabbing it through the soft opening under their necks before running the blade down the demon’s stomach. Ignazio continued to do this, bounding from target to target, his body was like a living shadow once more, only being seen after completing the final slash and right before running to the next target. Pushing backwards after his blade appeared to get stuck in his fourteenth salamander he decided to leave it behind causing the male to resort to doing backwards flips and taking a defensive stance before standing back to back with the other tamers who was asking the male why didn’t he summon his familiars. Ignazio smiled and turned his head for a simple second as the group was starting to be ran with another group of salamanders ”The king never unsheathes his sword in battle unless his fortress is under siege.” Ignazio said before turning back and glaring at the group of lesser dragons. ”I’ll take it from here.” he said as he focused on the dragons remembering that he planned on using them for food later so he couldn’t completely destroy them. He had to only kill him without damaging the meat. The tamer extended his right index finger as a white light began to appear in the form of an orb. Soon the male made a circle with his finger causing the light to expanded into a glyph of pure white light. The light was so powerful it was blinding even in an inactivated form. ”You guys might want to close your eyes for this…PrajvaloSNiisa.” he calmly said at the last moment as a salamander was about to devour him. But was the mouth opened a long ray shot through the demon causing it to explode. Ignazio’s spell created a bright light that enveloped the area slicing through the rock surfaces as it touched melting them into nothing. Ignazio moved his right index finger quickly into slicing patterns cutting the salamanders with ease. Clinching his hand into a fist the light died down. Blood was splattered along the ground of the group as Ignazio who was at the center of one of the Salamanders exploding didn’t have a single drop on him. He sighed and flipped his hair from his eyes. ”Well, that was rather simple. Ready for the next group?” He asked as he walked through the perfectly cut bodies and picked up his knife he had left in the other Salamander.
As the group celebrated their first Victory the sound of gun fire and explosions were approaching. Ignazio swiped his knife down to the right removing the blood from the demon as he walked towards the center of the group of tamers and spun the knife around his index finger. ”Don’t celebrate too soon, there are still plenty more approaching. Let’s switch this formation up to delta and try that out.” Ignazio said as the group nodded and began to move out with the familiars to form a large star of sorts when looking from above, with Ignazio being in the very middle of the star. ’Most of these familiars barely make mid-level, releasing even a single one of mine would be like bragging too much, and it would lower the trust of the full platoon, for now I’ll stick to basic aria spells and close quarter combat. If need be I’ll at least bring forth Innocentius. But then again, seeing how most of these Tamers only summoned a single familiar I should assume they have more and more than likely higher leveled. For now, let’s play it safe’ Ignazio’s eyes stopped shifting as he caught his blade and pointed it towards the right at the next clearing. ”The second squad is bringing us another wave now. So let’s take these out just like the last time. The more we take care of the more we’ll have to eat.” Ignazio called out as he tossed the knife into the air. He kept his eyes forward on the area the demons were coming from, and as soon as he heard the approaching gun fire, his knife slowly floated down towards him. ”His leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.” the tamer chanted lightly as he turned his body to face the opening and watched the shadows approaching and the lights of gun fire began to appear into the clearing. With his index and middle finger Ignazio drew a glyph with a light green light burning through the very air; in the center of the glyph was a Celtic cross, suddenly electricity began to surge around the tamer. The familiars and their masters in the area watched as Ignazio generated a great amount of Qi in a short amount of time. His index finger and thumb were erect in his right hand as if his hand was a gun itself. The dagger drifted down and was caught into the magnetic field of the electricity as the tamer’s qi guided the dagger into the middle of the glyph. ’There here!’
Yggdmillennia Seal: On Back of Blazer & Vest, and as a small emblem on the front breast.
When the trio had begun to run, he had scooped Sirzechs into his arm in order to run without hindrance. Until Sirzechs took his standard form, the three-headed dog demon was simply not fast enough to keep up with Lloyd's speed. The mountain path that was there for their trip would have been hard to notice had the light from the moon not illuminated his path and a portion of the area surrounding the path itself. While they continued progressing, his mind began to race and fill with questions. Who was on his team? Could they win? Would it actually be through difficult means that the Black Team achieved victory? How many casualties would occur during the exam itself, and how many more would lose their lives? If he could, he would spare those who gave him their jewels. But, if they would not give them up until death met them, then he would dispose of them as quicky as possible and without room for error. He was sure that there were going to be many among their team who frowned upon the thought of killing any of the other competitors, but if they could not, then he was sure that Ignazio or himself would do it for them. In thinking of the war itself, his mind wandered to the positions that had been given out. "Wait Lloyd." spoke Sirzechs as he lept into the air before Lloyd. When his paws touched the ground, he immediately lifted his head up in order to sniff the air itself. "Something is going on a couple of yards ahead of us. Not only that, but there are a lot of demons in that area. Salamanders, to be exact." Looking to the dog demon on the ground, he looked up towards the sky in order to look out for flashing lights or the clouds of smoke that would rise into the air after an explosion. Sure enough the sky soon flooded with lights, and gunshots rang out through the area.
"An attack? Roughly, how many can you detect?' Looking back to his familiar once more, he looked at the small head movements he made whenever he moved to look in a new direction. It took a little while, but soon enough Sirzechs had started to look back at him. "I can not say for certain, but I smell blood. The source of this blood is not too far off either. What will we do now?" What to do was indeed a good question. He was already arriving late, so whatever plan had been put into motion or discussed, he would have to pick up at a later time. However, given his lateness, and the start of an early battle, he would simply have to do whatever he was able to do in the time he had. "Its time to transform Sirzechs. If we are to get there before any real damage is done, then we need to move quickly. But first, we pick up whatever the closest source of the blood you smell is." Nodding his head, Sirzechs dug his claws into the ground once before pulling at the ground beneath him. The dog demon's boy shook once before its body launched high into the air. As it did so, two extra heads grew outwards before the three heads that composed the one dog demon lifted their heads in unison towards the sky. All at once, an earth-shaking roar was released, one that echoed all the way up to the Black Team's camp. Putting a hand onto Celebron's back, he lept up into a tree before leaping onto Sirzech's back. "Let's get going."
Another roar was released before Sirzechs began to move through the area following the scent of fresh blood. Soon after they came across a Knight whose blade had been knocked out of its hands. He had a huge gash going across his leg, and seeing as the legs were a Knight's main asset aside from his blade he had been rendered immobile for the time being. At the sight of Cerberus, the Salamander that had been attacking the young male had taken off to join its fellow Salamanders for what Lloyd believed would simply be a strength in number maneuver. Putting Celebron on Sirzech's back, he jumped down besides the male. After sheathing the male's sword, he gave it to the boy to hold before picking the male up and into his arms. In accordance with his movements, Sirzechs sat down for a moment so that Lloyd could put the boy onto his back as well before getting on. Once he had made sure that they were all on without problem, he tapped against the dog demon's back before the large beast stood and began to trot forwards. "I need you to fill me in. What has happened, has a plan been made yet, how do our forces look." Despite his pain, the male spoken quickly and as clearly as he could despite fearing for his life because of both the wound and the fact that he was on a Cerberus. The trot soon became a mad dash, and with his final steps, Sirzechs launched forwards and into the air high above the trees. Their jump had temporarily blocked out the moon leaving all those below to only see a large black dot rapidly descending from the sky. The Sword Saint and his Beast of Destruction had finally arrived.
Right as Ignazio was about to finish the incantation Ignazio’s name was called from behind signally him for his attention. Turning his head he noticed the approaching swarm from a blind spot he didn’t predict, it would appear the other team brought them to the area too quickly. ’s**t, I won’t make it in time.’ he thought as he pushed off of the ground and leaped to the left in order to dodge an oncoming salamander’s flames. The tamer’s right hand still extended and charging, he didn’t have time to change the power and voltage of the spell, since the number was greater he had to do something to deal with them and quick. So the first thing he could do was deal with the once in front of him and then take out the others. Sliding to a stop, his feet stumbled a few times before he completely stopped and set his aim up again before chanting louder and stronger than before ”Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish!” he called out before flicking his index finger forward sending out the massive bolt of lightning as well as the dagger at three times the speed of sound by utilizing the Fleming’s left-hand rule using the great amount of electricity from the lightning he conjured. The dagger moved with the bolt of lightning cutting through the demons it passed through allowing the lightning to finish the job hitting it’s maximum velocity of 2307 mph. Ignazio lowered his hand and then turned his head before spitting a little ”s**t, my aim was off.” he muttered after the massive explosion caused by the connection of the dagger and the stone wall. As the field of electricity began to vanish Ignazio started to call the dagger back while the Fatal Verse was still in effect, but as he started to one of the tamers called out for assistance. Turning his head, Ignazio grit his teeth before his body vanished and appeared in the air and he utilized the remaining electrical power to call the dagger over him but when he called the dagger it stabbed into the neck of the salamander. Ignazio’s body made a full decent and he jogged over to the male and extended his hand out to him. ”You okay? We need to take care of a large group of at once, so I need you to get everyone to fall back or buy me some time.” Ignazio said as he pulled the male up and then turned to face the Salamanders that had landed and were chasing the tamers and their familiars around the open space. ”I won’t be made a full of again.” he muttered as he started to walk towards the battle. His head was lowered, and his eyes were glowing with power, it was almost like when he fought an opponent of great skill, Ignazio only showed this face to those he vowed to kill, and it appeared these creatures were going to die a very painful death.
As the tamer reached the battlefield he stood in the middle and untied his blue tie before allowing it to flow loosely. ”All of you, stand back. I’m not responsible for anyone that gets killed.” he called back as he looked at the demons as the approached. Ignazio bent his knees and then pushed off of the ground and dashed towards them his body vanished and then reappeared constantly as he took his time performing different acrobatic stunts and slide above and under the demons as he dodged them. Ignazio made sure to keep their attention on him constantly stepping on their heads of backs before leaping off and on to another demon. He continued to keep them following him as he continued moving. The tamer’s movements seemed majestic as he danced in the sky and slid along the ground as if he was saving home base in a game of baseball. But these constant movements were without reason. The male had been placing talismans on the bodies of specific salamanders before leaping off of the blank ones. Soon the male came to a stop before turning and looking at the enraged group had circled him and spewed flames from their mouths. The group called out for Ignazio only to see the male in the air with both arms extended. The flames were over yet another talisman that the tamer placed down on the ground just before his body appeared it was going to be hit. It was more than likely placed when he landed on the ground. As Ignazio felt gravity taking hold of his body, he began to pull his hands towards his center and move his hand around in multiple seals used in Buddhism for exorcisms. The seals were extremely swift and precise as the moved his hands. But unfortunately the demons weren’t going to allow him to finish after he made such a fool out of them. The salamanders climbed upon each other’s backs fighting over who’d reach the tamer first. Ignazio just allowed his body to fall naturally as the demons approached him.
Ignazio closed his eyes as he finished the last seal and then a single word escaped his glossed lips ”Release”. With such a simple command the talismans glowed and became a massive chain of light that was attached to the ground. The chains wrapped around all the demons as they were connected by the other talismans allowing the chain reaction to take place and create such a forest of light bound chains. The tamer’s feet tapped along the ground and suddenly the chains exploded causing the battle field to be splattered with body parts and blood. Ignazio walked through the rain of blood and guts with his hands in his pockets and exhaled before shaking his head to remove a little of the meat off of him. He looked up covered in the blood and smirked. ”Sorry about that, but I couldn’t risk any of you guys being caught in the explosion. I’ll be sure not to do that again.” Ignazio said smiling as he looked at their blank faces and blood covered bodies. The tamer soon turned and glared to the left after an opposing force entered the sensory talismans he had in place. Ignazio closed his eyes and focused on the Qi signature, allowing his energy to bound off of the hidden talismans, a smile came across his face as his eyes opened. ”Guess, today is a good day for us. We just won this war. Our secret weapon just came riding in on a Cerberus.” Ignazio said raising his hands into the air and stretching before walking back towards the middle of the open space ”Let’s get back into positions, the next group should be approaching soon. So, this time let’s not have a mix up. Seeing how we manage to keep getting these large hordes, it shows our troops haven’t been eliminated yet.” the man who’s supposed to be King said as he closed his eyes to think for a second and then opened them. The smell of blood from the Salamanders filled the area while their dead bodies was surly drawing the salamanders closer and faster than the dragoons and aria traps. The point for this area, is for a large scaled trap he was planning way in advanced. Ignazio was great at chess and with his father being in charge of one of the Vatican’s armies, he was more than capable of leading an army to a flawless victory, even if they were covered in blood. ”Don’t worry, I’ll get us all cleaned up after this is over.” the tamer said as he was joined by the other tamers. Ignazio was starting to wonder if he should change strategies now, seeing how at this point, he was running out of talismans, and there weren’t many fatal verses that could take out a salamander without using a great amount of time.
