Reincarnation | Chapter 8: “Stargrim’s Rage” (Katsu pov)

 “Not good, the black magic user slipped past my sight. I didn't even see him activate his black sorcery. This isn't good. I don't know if we have anyone capable of rivaling his power.”

"أناشد أرواح الملعونين، انهضوا مرة أخرى وقاتلوا من أجلي."

(I call upon the souls of the damned, rise once again and fight for me.)

“No way he’s summoning the undead.” A strange black mist fills the arena as skeletons are rising from the mist. It's too many to count; it's a goddamn army of these things. Every demihuman in the stands plus the surviving tournament winners gather to hold off the horde but there's just too many and they just keep coming.

"يلا يلا يلا، أنتَ خالاس. هيا بنا لنحضر لكَ أيها الوحش الأحمق."

(Yalla Yalla Yalla, you're Khalas. Come on, let's go you foolish beastkin.) (Yalla=come on or lets go, khalas=finished)

“No time, the best way to end this is to take down the caster.” I fully transform into my beast form running on all fours. My fur is orange with black strips, I have yellow eyes with black pupils, and a pink nose with white whiskers. I rush to stargrim you laughing like a madman. He notices me as I'm enveloped in a black mist. A strange skeleton like a dragon is carrying me high into the air. I escape from its grasp and activate death god stance move

‘Wings of death’. Im flying fast straight at stargrim who looks straight at me and begins chanting.

"كاتسو، هل تعتقد حقاً أن لديك ما يلزم لهزيمة الساحر الأسود الشهير، ستارغريم؟"

(Katsu you really think you have what it takes to take down the famed blackmancer, Stargrim.)

I fly faster as flames envelope me how fast I'm going. I’m also semi transformed. I have a human body but my arms and legs are beastly shaped. I use ‘Hellblazer’ and my sword is engulfed in purple flames. I slash at stargrim’s head which comes clean off but. “WHAT?!?!?!?!?” His head is engulfed in purple flames but is still connected to his body by a strange black mist. No fucking way is this what black magic regeneration magic is capable of. I cut his head clean off and he can still regenerate from that; this is not a battle, this is a warzone and we are cattle for this blackmancer.

"بما أنك تحب القتل كثيراً، فما رأيك بهذا؟"

(Since you like killing so much, how about this?)

"يا أرواحًا ضائعة قُتلت خلال البطولة، أدعوكم للعودة مرة أخرى إلى عالم الأحياء. أوه هو هو هو"

(Oh, lost souls that were slain during the tournament, I call upon thee to return once more to the land of the living. OHHOHOHO *Laughing*)

“No fucking way, hes not about to do what i think he is going to do is he?” A whole black mist fog covers the arena as the skeletons summoned earlier stop moving. That laugh is almost not human; it's something else entirely. The ground turns blood red as the mist begins to clear. I see claws dig out of the ground as Grinousa claws her way out of the pits of hel. Not good, it's not just her, it's every contender from the tournament. I just noticed that Leiko is not among them but i thought she died no wait. Just behind the blackmancer is a fully healed Leiko. Did he use his black magic to revive or just heal her? This is going nowhere. I have to take out the source, stargrim himself.
