Chapter 13 Abandoned

Semfes blinks and looks around him to see that he's on the battlefield. He turns around only to see Escarfra and Lianna talking to each other.
"Fami, why have you chosen me to protect that woman?" Semfes spoke to himself.
Lianna turns her eyes toward Semfes and a hand settles on her shoulder. She looks beside her and sees Marie staring into her eyes.
"Hey! Why are you staring at him?" Marie smiled softly while raising and lowering her eyebrows multiple times.
"He just," Lianna looks once again at Semfes and he looks over to Marie, "he's familiar and it's like my heart's telling me that I've known him."
Semfes' eyes widen and he looks in a certain direction and sees Romina staring at him.
"Give the lady with the Y to me," Romina points her index finger at Semfes, "and I shall bestow you the right to run away like those men that I fought."
"Where's Kukira? I know that you have the boy," Semfes madly told her.
"Oh, so you know Kukira?" Romina laughs softly while looking downwards, "I don't care, and even if I have him, I won't give him to you."
Semfes release orange lightning from his hands and they form a long large spear and the clouds begin to release tremendous roars and orange lightning.
Semfes begin to travel toward Romina at the speed of lightning whilst she forms her fighting stance and discharges explosive rays from her eyes.
The rays hit the ground and some trees only to cause explosions leaving massive and deep craters.
Semfes arrives in front of her whilst her eyes are widening in fear and shock. Semfes thrusts his orange lightning spear to her forehead and blood flows from her ears as her eyes lose their color.
He holds her face and slams her on the ground as he's landing on the ground. Semfes looks at Romina only to see her squashed head and her lifeless body.
Semfes says, "Nagbabagane doesn't bleed–!"
"Oh, yes, they do," a young man says, "a halfling can bleed. But a full-blood nagbabagane doesn't bleed and with that, I congratulate you on ending the life of the fifth high-ranking nagbabagane."
Lianna and Marie fly away and hit the ground whilst a middle-aged man is lifting Escarfra by holding her neck.
"You bastard!" Semfes points his palms to each other and begins to gather orange lightning, "free her from your grasp!"
"Her? You don't even know her name, Semfes?" the middle-aged man flicks her forehead and she falls asleep, "her name is Escarfra, remember? The one who took care of you? The one who accepted you into her home."
Semfes forms an orange lightning spear and his eyes are dilating. "H-How did you know my–"
"I've watched you for your entire life," he tells him, "I was the one who sent that firefly for you to go find Alamia. I made Ranaliantra kidnap Alamia so she'll be brought to the world of Ethereum."
"You were the one who caused all of the misfortunes that happened to me!" Semfes ran toward him.
"I thought you'll die but I was wrong," he smiles softly and tosses Escarfra towards Semfes, "I, Ankara, can now make you suffer."
Semfes' orange eyes release bright light as he runs toward Escarfra; he embraces her and moves at the speed of lightning away from the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man thrusts his hand but his eyes grow wide upon witnessing nothing in front of him. Hence, he looks aside and sees Semfes kneeling while laying Escarfra on the ground.
"I'll rip you to pieces!" he kicks the ground and lava emerged from it, "you'll die!"
Semfes turns around and there, he witnesses a large lava wave going toward him. He closes his eyes as the wave is approaching him, henceforth, he opens his eyes and releases tremendous orange lightning from the swing of his hand.
The tremendous orange lightning strikes the lava away; splitting the lava in half and it goes in different directions.
Semfes immediately throws his spear forward and the man smiles as he raises his hand only to catch the spear.
"Lightning construct," he breaks the orange lightning in half, "what an awesome ability but that won't be enough to stop me."
Semfes swiftly flies toward Ankara. Lava emerges from the ground and it surrounds Ankara.
Semfes appears in front of him and swings his lightning-covered hand only for him to be approached by a line of lava.
Semfes immediately jumps backward and avoids the lava from touching him.
He glares at Ankara. "You!"
"What's the matter?" Ankara spreads the lava everywhere and they go toward Semfes, "I can't wait to see Vixo's full power!"
Semfes flaps his orange lightning wings as he swings his two orange lightning spears; the two orange lightning spears slice the lava in pieces.
"He's fast!" Semfes blocked his face with his wings only for his wings to get hit by a line of lava.
He flaps his wings and flies away from Ankara whilst he smiles and manipulates the lava; the lava separates into lines and all of them go toward Semfes.
"Go, run away," Ankara inhales deeply, "you are a fool just like Vixo."
Semfes flies swiftly away from the lines of lava, hence, he flies toward Ankara. Multiple sharp magmas emerge from the ground and they fly toward Semfes.
Semfes release orange lightning from his fingertips as he swings his hands and the lightning destroys the magma.
A line of lava wraps around Semfes' abdomen and wrists, hence, they slam Semfes onto the ground.
Semfes' eyes are shaking along with his whole body as his wings are disappearing.
"What a pathetic young man," Ankara steps ahead of Semfes, "I guess this is where we'll finally end our fight. Just sit and enjoy the sight of Arak making your kind kneel."
"Stop." Semfes put his hands on the ground and pushed himself upward.
Ankara turns toward Semfes and points his hands at him; his palm is radiating a red light as fire is occurring on his palm until it turns into a large fireball.
"Goodbye, Semfes the last descendant of Vixo," Ankara spoke seriously.
In his mind, a scenery of an orange dragon and a younger version of himself is standing beside each other.
"Before you there was me," Ankara tells Semfes, "but that ends here."
Ankara launches the fireball toward Semfes who's standing on the ground while inhaling and exhaling through his slightly opened lip.
Semfes points his hand at the fireball and releases a thick force of orange lightning from his hand; both elements clash against each other.
Magma emerges from the ground and it pierces Semfes' abdomen; his eyes are widening as his eyebrows are furrowing.
He remains standing and the fireball grows and expands until it explodes, hence, Semfes flies away from the smoke and he rolls on the ground.
He arises a bit and instantly holds the large round hole in his abdomen which is releasing a heavy amount of blood.
"Looks like," Ankara clears the smoke with the swing of his hand, "you've been abandoned by Vixo, he's truly a cowardly dragon."
Semfes grimaces at Ankara. "Don't you dare ridicule his name! He saved us from being stuck and he gave me a new purpose in life!"
"New… purpose?" Ankara chuckled while walking calmly toward Semfes.
Henceforth, a sharp magma emerges from the ground beside him. He holds the magma and pulls it from the ground, therefore, he scrambles toward Semfes and releases fireballs from his mouth.
"Have I been abandoned?" Semfes asked himself.
The fireballs strike Semfes and he falls to his knees as burned marks can be seen on his whole body.
Ankara halts in front of Semfes, and he holds his neck; lifts Semfes, and slams him on the ground.
Ankara stares at Semfes whose eyes are almost shutting down and whose lips are loose.
"Farewell," he pierces Semfes' chest with his sharp magma, "you've fought too hard."
"No!" Alamia walked out of a purple gateway.
Her eyes are widening while her hands are trembling whilst Ranaliantra and Tobias who are standing on both of her sides are gazing at Semfes.
