DISCIPLE OF THE HADO OF FIRE

Vesta answers the phone as he makes sure hIS group is heading toward the bus and away from them.

-You called me from a red number, what is the situation Santiago?

-There is an attack by Dark Moon in the district that you have 3 km from your position to the northwest, we have 4 grandmasters and 20 elite warriors in the area, but the situation seems to indicate that eclipses are approaching the area of battle, leaving aside the possibility of casualties, the field of stasis will probably not hold as the 4 grandmasters are the only ones suitable to stop the eclipses. A barrage of elite warriors will not hold.

-Understood, I'm on my way, I'll enter the voice channel in 10 seconds.

As soon as Vesta hung up the phone and put it in her right pants pocket she walked into a dead spot of people's vision and snapped her fingers. Immediately a spark came out of them that ignited a flame throughout his body which went out almost instantly after it appeared, His hair obtained slight red offsets at the end of its ends and now he wore a black suit articulated specifically for the battle along with a mostly white robe with the design of the flames of a flare on its sleeves and lower part of it, while on its back it carried a huge symbol that was the kanji for fire in Japanese , On the face appeared a kind of black glasses with a reddish gradient that extended the end of their lines to the points of the face and immediately displayed hologram indications on their lenses.

"System deployed in: 2.5 sec. navigation ready, voice channel in 1.34 sec. Online early detection system, all systems Green Katon."

At the end of the robotic voice of the visor, Vesta slid his right hand from his ear to his mouth and unfolded a holographic communicator.

-Disciple of the Hado of Fire ready and on the move, estimated time of arrival 2.5 seconds.

Vesta took a step towards a clear surface and took a step that appeared to be smooth, then the step he had taken unfolded a curtain of condensed air that indicated that he had exceeded the speed of sound and in an instant he was already in the aforementioned district.

Vesta stretched out his arms and created three particles of fire and after putting his hands together they formed a triangle large enough for him to pass through.

When crossing them, the battlefield that occurred within the field of ecstasy was observed, an infinity of particles were seen flying in various trajectories, they were lethal, the medium-long distance throwing type weapon commonly used in this type of battle since a firearm could not reach the minimum speeds for a person within this world. Metallic sounds abound everywhere as they sounded in unison with the elemental shots of the various elements that could be spotted.

Vesta tapped the comlink he already had deployed to activate it again.

-Commander of the operation, this is the disciple of the hado of fire, report on the situation.

"Katon! It's a relief to hear you"

-Leave the thanks later, I need the situation report.

"Dark moon assets are controlled without too many problems, but they have not been defeated yet and we confirm the approach of the sinister and laser eclipses"

-Rearrange the formation, the 4 grandmasters are in charge of the ecstasy field while 5 of the 20 elite warriors escort them, the rest follow me.

"It is understood"

Vesta generated two fire particles by making a sudden movement with his hands which he grabbed and made a gesture of drawing a couple of circles on his back from which he removed two equal gray swords with a peculiar design, they were the fire resonators , the pair of weapons that Vesta had designed specifically to suit his style of combat.

Vesta gave the pair of swords a turn and when they collided a spark was created in them that began to turn them reddish, when the entire silhouette of both swords turned that color Vesta threw herself from the high place where he was and entered the battle.

Before falling he did a spin with both swords and landed on his feet as four enemies crashed into the walls, completely out of action.

"Eclipses are entering the field"

- Attention all assets! Neutralize enemies except eclipses, I'll take care of them.

Upon Vesta's instruction all the legion's assets spread out in a formation in which they were completely away from Vesta who was awaiting the entrance of the eclipses which he had already identified.

As soon as sinister and laser entered, Vesta, crossed and spread her arms quickly as he turned around launching a rain of lethals from which the eclipses could barely defend themselves.

- Ngh...!

-WHAT?!!!

expressions of effort and surprise came out of both eclipses as Vesta once again unsheathed the swords he had kept to launch the lethals.

-Hey laser… t-that's…

-The disciple of the hado of fire….

- What do we do now?!

- Put up with it, even if it's 2 minutes, we'll have to depend on the rest of the useless!

Laser blinked for a second after hearing the distress indications and after that Vesta was no longer in front of him.

-Where i-

Laser opened his eyes with a terrified expression, because all his instincts alerted him while a shiver ran down his back and in his mind the image of a person behind him was scattered, backed by a huge winged serpent of ancient fire that exhaled ashes.

-Laser don't get distracted!!!

Sinister jumped to cover the cut of Vesta's sword who had positioned himself behind Laser, after hearing the metal clash Laser jumped back as Sinister repositioned himself next to him.

-Remember that they not only call him the fastest user in history because of his net speed, but also because in a range of three kilometers he can immediately transport himself to any of his lethal ones.

- Then?!

-Yes… since we entered the field of ecstasy… we began to dance in the palm of his hand.

-Grrr…

-We have no choice, we have to fight to escape.

-In agreement.

Immediately after coming to that conclusion, both eclipses scattered to opposite sides while preparing a mark on his chest, Vesta noticing, makes a turn and launches two lethals in an advanced position that they were both heading for.

-So they already realized that they can't win, huh… that makes things easier and harder.

Vesta immediately transports to the lethal that was close to the sinister and causes a diagonal cut that goes through his skin and does not damage any vital organs, but it makes him go back and breaks the mark that was being generated on his body.

-He has a good skin of steel, but I'm not fighting to kill right now so it's enough for me.

After making the cut to the left, Vesta immediately transports to Laser's position and does something similar.

"Katon-sama, two dark moon assets are heading to his position!"

Immediately upon hearing that, Vesta launches a lethal upward from his position and transports to him to have visual contact with the two approaching enemies, which he sees immediately heading for the eclipses.

- Damn I was too careful!

Vesta returns to the lethal close to sinister stance and blasts away Dark Moon's mid-ranked member with a fiery blast, which before being fired into a wall deploys a mist generated with the element of darkness. Vesta grimaces in disgust and generates a current of hot air that quickly clears the fog and manages to stop sinister from escaping, but not Laser.

-You're not going anywhere

-Ngh… my body doesn't… but my soul does.

After saying that, sinister begins to convulse red foam and blood. Vesta quickly analyzes what's going on and inserts tiny fire particles to stop the bleeding, but he can't stop the poison.

-Oh, it can't be...

Vesta takes Sinestro's corpse and places it on the floor while she analyzes what just happened.

A few seconds later he comes to the conclusion that they were waiting for the one who was being transported and they injected him with the suicide poison because they already knew that they would not both come out alive and they were not going to give information to the legion.

-Katon!

A figure in a battle suit similar to the one Vesta wore under her robe lands near him.

-The rest of the Dark Moon assets were repelled, 5 escaped and the rest committed suicide.

-That damn Hex strategy again… well you were the commander in charge of the mission, right?

- That's how it is!

-Take care of cleaning this up, I'll take care of the report.

-Yes… is that an eclipse?

-Yes, of the two that arrived they decided that they were not going to let him capture one so they chose to kill him.

-…

-Don't think about it too much, I have to go to Zafiro to report.

-In agreement.

The commander withdrew and rallied her squad to begin loading.

-Okay now…

Vesta stretched out his hands and quickly charged a fire symbol and after three seconds he disappeared.

~-~

In the control room of the Zafiro headquarters, Tome, Sophia, Akira and Santiago were immersed in their own world when they are surprised by the sudden appearance of Vesta.

-I'm sorry for the scare, I've come to report the operation from a moment ago.

While he was saying that, he snapped his fingers generating again the flare that had given him that special equipment but this time only to take it off, thus returning to the clothes that he had again.

-Oh! Katon-sama!

Tome closed the book he was reading and quickly walked over to where Vesta was.

- Would you like something to drink?

-Mmmmm yes, why not?

Tome withdrew and quickly left the control room while Vesta sat at his desk and unfolded the holographic panel to start analyzing and reporting.

- How was the mission?

Santiago walked over to Vesta's desk with Sophia who was carrying some sandwiches. They both pull up a chair and sit near the desk.

-The attack was successfully repelled, there were no allied casualties. 5 assets escaped from Dark Moon.

- What about eclipses?

-Laser escaped and they decided to kill Sinister so that Laser could escape.

- Sinestro died!?

Sophia stood up abruptly from her chair, almost knocking over the plate of sandwiches that she had near her.

After avoiding it she sits back down with a red face.

-Excuse me…

Tome came back with a few drinks for everyone in the room as I watched a red-faced Sophia sit up.

- I lost something?

-We just started the report. Dark Moon missed one of her eclipses and 5 escaped.

-Wow… who would have thought that an eclipse would die like that.

-More like… forced suicide?

-You lived it, not us Katon-sama, so it is up to you to classify it

-I guess…

-Then Katon-sama…

Tome distributes the drinks and goes to the part of the desk where Vesta is and sits on the desk at the same time that he crosses her legs and rests his hands on the desk on the sides of her hips

She gazes a little mischievous towards Vesta and changes his voice to a more suggestive tone.

- Will you accept my invitation to dinner?

Vesta takes a sip of his drink as she contemplates Tome's figure, that day she was wearing a white button down shirt, and a brown sweater that covered her sleeves, but had no way to close the cleavage area. At the same time she wore a dark blue skirt and long stockings.

Vesta, when he finishes taking his drink, looks at Tome's face, who gives her a sweet smile and adjusts the fringe that slightly covers her right red eye.

-My stance hasn't changed, so I'm sorry. It's still a no.

-Hmm…

Hearing Vesta's reply, Tome steps down from the desk with an annoyed pout and a slightly disappointed look and heads for a chair to sit with the rest.

-Before returning to the main topic, Tome, are you still embarrassed about your heterochromia?

-Eh? Ah… it's hard to explain.

-I don't think it's a disorder to hide.

-Uh... it's easier to explain if I say that it's curious to see myself in a mirror and observe how two eyes of different colors contemplate me... I've already gotten used to it and I feel that it's a very interesting touch to my figure, but when I woke up hado… I admit that my fringe was to cover it.

-I guess back then it would have been a surprise, but not 3 years later.

-I know, simply the fact that having awakened my energy and at the same time my fairy neuron at that time having been affected by a secondary effect with a physical change was... strange to express currently.

-The secondary effects from the awakening of the fate neuron are strange, but not harmful.

-Even so, it was a problem that at that time gave me a lot of shame and hid my red eye, but by adapting to the ability of my neuron it was quite effective.

-Your ability is "perfect trajectory field" right?

-That's right, it allows me to calculate the perfect trajectory of all types of projectiles that I shoot within a radius of 50 m. around me

-It's quite a useful skill for your fighting style, Tome-san.

-I guess you can say it's quite convenient Sophia-san.

-Well, it's been a while and right now I don't have any pending in the legion or in the SPA, would you like a 2 vs 2?

-I think it's good, let Akira as the referee.

-I have no problem.

-Decided then, let's go to the training area.

The 5 present got up and after collecting the drinks they went out of the command room and went through the corridor to a room with several divided areas until they entered the largest area.

-Well, since I'll be the referee, I suppose it will be pointless, but here are the rules in case there is someone who doesn't know what they are. Fatal wounds cannot be dealt, the use of massive explosion techniques is prohibited, the use of definitive abilities is allowed, but in moderation and finally the use of Overload is prohibited.

-That last one was superfluous Hikari-sama, we all know that we shouldn't use that technique lightly due to its 12-hour setback and besides being such a powerful technique, a very small part of the assets can use it, a few supreme masters at 110% and the apprentices of the hado we are also at that level of the Overload, with the exception of Tome who recently managed to reach 120% and well... only the disciples of the fate have perfect mastery over the technique, because you can execute it at the 150% no problem.

-Well, anyway, the teams will be: Vesta and Tome vs. Santiago and Sophia.

-Got it.

Both couples walked away and stretched a bit as they both had a little conversation.

-It's been a while since we fought together, right Sophia?

-Indeed Jundo-sama, let's do our best.

-Of course!

Santiago put his hands together in a gesture similar to an applause and a curtain of white light covered him which dispersed almost instantly as he came out, letting out a black battle suit similar to Vesta's along with a completely white robe with light black designs. on the sleeves and on the back the kanjis for purity, while on his left ear appeared a small earphone device that served for communication.

On the other hand, Sophia gently blew into her hand, raising a stream of visible green wind that dispersed almost instantly, revealing her battle outfit, a white outfit with green details covered her upper part and a pair of gloves appeared on her hands. gray half-finger which covered his palm, an unusual item in battle suits as many considered them uncomfortable, his traditional hair braid was still there but the accessory at the end changed to a light translucent green arrow, in the lower part it looked a medium-height white skirt with green and black lines at the end of it while on its back it showed a symbol that alluded to air currents.

-Well Tome, it seems that they are ready.

-We also.

-Well said, let's show that we are still an excellent team.

-Of course!

Vesta snapped his fingers and an instant flare brought back the battle suit with which he had entered the control room as his visor also quickly configured all the functions and expressed by the artificial voice to be ready.

In turn, Tome rises her both hands in front of her face and immediately a curtain of black mist dispersed from her body which after a second dissipated revealing Tome's battle suit in which she wore a dark gray dress with details. of red lines as well as certain details in the neckline and waist which were covered by what seemed to be a thin black mesh fabric but that was actually strong enough to deflect lethals. In its lower part it wore a pair of solid stockings that they gave the feeling of being reinforced due to the practically identical design of the suit, the stockings had a diagonal cut at the beginning where the same material came out at a medium height of her thighs and the skirt she wore did not reveal where it ended, on her head she wore a kind of monocle that gave luxury of advanced technology with a completely transparent glass and that allowed to see the red color of his eye and like Sophia the final accessory that held her hair changed to a translucent red arrow which slightly obscured the symbol on the back of his suit, a circle covered mostly in black which faded slightly to white on one part of it.

-Well it seems that everyone is ready so as your referee I will give the signal, draw!

Both teams showed their weapons taken from similar means, Vesta generated two fire particles which he grabbed and drew with them two circles on his back from which the "Fire Resonators" were shown, Tome generated a pair of condensed darkness particles which she directed to both sides of her hip and from which her "Twin mists" appeared, Sophia generated a particle of wind which she crushed with her hands and automatically generated a circle from which she drew her weapon "Tatsumaki" which is a kusarigama customized by her to raise strong currents of wind and fully support her element, Santiago made a gesture with his hands and the sound of a pure wave was heard in the air from which his weapon "The Purifier" was gradually discerned, a personalized Bo that fits perfectly to Santiago's style and needs.

- Ready! Set! Fight!

Immediately after the signal 4 sound barriers were broken at the same time and instantly the sound of metal clashing began to be heard.

- Take cover from afar, I'll be in front!

- Got it!

Tome took a step back and quickly unfurled a curtain of black mist that covered the area, leaving a gap without mist in the scepter of the curtain in which Santiago and Vesta stood.

-It seems that we will be the front line Santiago, then… Shall we start?

-Hehe… I'll show you what I'm made of.

They both took their battle pose, Santiago placed his weapon behind his back and placed his left hand in front of him in a defensive position while Vesta rested one of his swords on his shoulder while the second kept it raised forward in a defensive position.

A couple of sound blasts played out again as the clash of arms between Vesta and Santiago was faintly observed as they constantly dodged, blocked, and took hits as they both backed away periphery to cast lethal or hado abilities.

- I´ve got you!

Santiago appeared on Vesta with his Bo about to land on his head but did not hit because Vesta instantly disappeared and appeared behind Santiago with one of his resonators heading for the column.

-Too slow…

-Tch!

Santiago managed to cover himself from Vesta's attack with the explosion of a light white particle that he had managed to generate in the last microsecond which separated both combatants and gave Santiago a little time to reposition himself while not losing sight of Vesta who threw one of his swords at Santiago with a spin, an action which Santiago countered by jumping up and bracing his Bo for impact at a lethal Vesta had fired at the same time.

- Where?!

-Down.

Vesta's figure was shown below Santiago right at the spot where he had shot his sword as he charged a fire aura on his right arm which he would release as a slash of fire from the tip of his sword. Santiago deflects the slash by spinning his weapon and coating it with a white aura as he positions himself to slam it to intercept Vesta's incandescent sword leading in an upward vertical slash at him when instinct from both combatants causes them to step back.

Santiago blocks a hail of projectiles that changed trajectory but still headed for him as Vesta crossed his swords and plunged them into the ground raising a curtain of orange flames that covered a flurry of wind slashes coming from the upper side of him.

-I think they forget that this is a 2 vs 2… Katon-sama, Jundo-sama

Sophia showed her presence from a high part of the room as she waved her weapon this time generating a tornado which interrupted to cover a projectile of darkness that exploded upon covering it.

-You are also forgetting about me, Sophia-san.

Tome showed himself from the shadows walking slowly and raised his voice.

-It could be a 2 vs 2 duel but it is also interesting to do some small individual combats within it hehehe...

Laughing, Tome unfurled a pillar of mist that split into three and headed towards Sophia as she stepped into it herself.

-This will get interesting… Tome-san.

Sophia generated a sphere of wind in her hands to disperse the mist in which Tome disappeared.

- Sophia, on top of you!

After Santiago's warning, Sophia turned sharply upwards, managing to see a small generation of mist from which Tome came out with her two weapons pointing at Sophia, who immediately moved upwards while throwing her weapon with a green aura wrapped in it.

-Too late for that dear...

Sophia felt a presence behind her to which she directed an immediate slash of wind which only dispersed a cloud of mist. Sophia kept calm and scanned the terrain and the only thing she could see was the intense battle that both disciples of hado were fighting, but she couldn't see Tome anywhere.

-If I can't see her, I'll force her out of it.

Sophia tightened the chain on her weapon and began to spin it rapidly as she did so as well, generating various wind hado particles as she discreetly whispered, "Dance of the gale."

After saying those words, the speed of the rotation of her weapon as well as hers increased drastically and a huge green spiral current began to generate around her body which expelled an enormous wind pressure and an infinity of wind blades began to detach from the spiral, which began to create a wind pressure that moved objects away from the center but at the same time did not let them go.

Santiago placed his Bo on his back and bumped his fists, generating a sphere that covered him and was barely visible while Vesta crossed her arms forming an X and exhaled sending a wave of heat out of her body which avoided the air pressure.

- Tome, now!

Tome came out of the ground under Sophia immediately unfolding a cloud of mist near her and various particles of dark hado, immediately entering her he whispered: "Deadly Rain" and an infinity of projectiles scattered within the mist and several of them came out, Then the gale dispersed and both girls stepped back from the mist, repositioning themselves behind their allies.

-Excellent work Tome.

-Thank you.

- Good so far.

The four figures turned in surprise to Akira, the referee who had stopped the battle.

- Because? The good was just beginning.

-Precisely for this reason, Tome and Sophia used two ultimate abilities and if we continued at the same pace then you and Santiago could also get to use them and two ultimate abilities of a couple of disciples... maybe the infrastructure couldn't stand it since with jobs they were holding.

-Okay…

-It is a pity, but in that case we will have to stop here.

The four put away their equipment in the same way they unfolded it and together with Akira left the training room.
