071 – The Plotter in the Shadows 1

Alastor was furious as he fought Lirian, 'This is utter bull shit,' he could't stop himself from thinking such things as he fought the little monster, a child that could barely reach his chest and whose body looked fragile as if the smallest winds could carry him away, 'How the hell can he outmaneuver me in a battle of skill.'

As he got pushed further and further back, he cried out in anguish, and delt a devastating strike.

The energy poured out of him uncontrollably, as the blueish energy of his saints grace energy emerged it tore the air apart and released waves of destructive energy onto the surroundings.

It was like a well of concentrated gravity appeared, pulling all things towards it, the dust on the ground came pouring into it, creating a massive cloud of dust around the azure blue energy.

[Dodge with all your power], the sound of the system rung in his head, just a second before Alastor released the attack.

Lirian felt a sudden surge of danger and his eyes lit up with power, he'd been in dangerous situations countless times, by now he had perfect control of his fight or flight response.

His eyes sharpened with a rare seriousness as he responded, with a calm grace he reached out to the energy of the world and bent it to his will with energy control.

He let the energy flow into him and focused all of it on the sword, it was already on the verge of shattering, so he gave it one final task before it met its end.

He shifted himself to the side of Alastor, grasping the sword tightly with both hands he brought it down onto the ground.

'Boom,'

The ground erupted with rocks flying wildly, but suddenly the rocks shifted direction mid-air, gravitating towards the pillar of azure blue energy that had been released.

Lirian glanced back as he rocketed away, as the energy was released he felt a pull tugging on his muscles, as the gravitational field of the ground and the blue energy battled over which one should pull him.

He felt his fall suddenly slow down under the battling energy's, using energy control he tried to break down the laws, but that was impossible, energy control only had an effect on lawless energy.

He felt a tremor of rage as he glanced at Alastors with frosty eyes, he could hardly believe what had happened.

Not only did Alastor use saints grace energy against, he even used the advanced sword techniques that only saints could use, insight harmony.

The gravity that he felt acting against him wasn't some simple usage of laws, but rather a law brought about by achieving insight harmony, it was the perfect technique to force an opponent into a battle.

Had Lirian not acted so quickly he would have been caught in its suction power, then shredded into pieces, he didn't even want to entertain the thought of the current him trying to defend against it.

Defend against a seventh-graders saints grace don't be ridiculous, that attack could level half a city despite it being just a sliver of his power.

Lirian looked down at the pummel of the sword in his hand, the entire blade had been turned into dust by the undiluted energy he used.

As the azure energy soared through the air, it finally stopped pulling on him, and he felt himself move again as only one source of gravity acted on him.

Lirian shot out into the air and came tumbling down onto the ground with a heavy thud, he was certain that he fractured a bone or two as he pulled himself out of the little pit his crash had made.

The sudden attack washed away his intense blood lust and forced him to think carefully about what had happened, for a split second he entertained the thought that his curse had returned but he quickly shook his head.

'It would explain why the commander did something so stupid though,' he lamented, 'In any case, this is going to have some serious consequence, the commander just tried to kill a prince candidate,'

', and if I recall correctly he's from the Jane family, I'd heard that mom has a very good relationship with the family head.'

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he walked out of the cloud of dust around him with mild tremors coursing through his body.

He noticed some eyes were looking at him in shock for having dodged that attack the rest of them were watching the energy released by Alastor in horror, forget the school half the city would disappear if it made contact.

He felt his breath catch in his chest as the reality struck him, he dodged the direct attack, but once it popped, he'd be a goner along with every member of the school.

As much as Miss Hira wished she could stop it she was only a fifth-grade mental psychic it was beyond her ability and just as everyone thought all hope was lost Anya appeared in its path and extended a single hand out.

That energy that seemed like certain death to everyone else was held back by her with absolute ease, as the blueish saints grace interacted with her red slaughter saints grace it was crushed by overwhelming might.

Anya usually lounged around on the higher floors of the school, where the other guards and guardians of the several candidates and important students would spend their entire day.

Today however she couldn't shake off that bad feeling she had been having, she knew that she gave the blastors to Lirian as a last line of defense, but it didn't make her feel at ease even one bit.

She felt like her paranoia was unfounded but she still decide to stick close to Lirian for the next few days while hiding in the shadows, and she was currently extremely glad that she did.

As she glanced at Alastor her green eyes morphed into a bloody red colour, he was lost in a stupor as he realised what a stupid thing he had done, he didn't even understand it himself.

Bloody currents surged out of Anya and she appeared before Alastor, the red currents wrapped around the two of them, as it sealed him off, she dealt a devastating blow on his solar plexus, he didn't get a chance to react as she rained down blow after devasting blow, even his saint's regeneration skill couldn't keep up with the pounding as he quickly turned into a bag of meat and blood.

Despite them both being saints Anya was in a class of her own, when he was unable to breath properly, she let the blood currents that surrounded them dissipate, if she hadn't sealed of their little fight her blows would have erased everything in sight.

When she finished, she hurried to Lirian's side, she knew that he was fine, if not Alastor would have already become sustenance for her bloody world.

"I hope you didn't kill him!", Lirian said as she arrived.

another double release today, hope you enjoy
