10 A Dual Duel

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?" Pyron asked

"AND WE BOTH KNOW BOTH OF US WONT STAND A CHANCE! I'M MAKING A DISTRACTION FOR YOU TO GET IN! NOW RUN YOU ASSHOLE!" Light told him .

Pyron nodded in approval. As much as he hated leaving him behind, he knew it was the easiest way to get to Kara. He quickly made himself wings and flew to the other side. Light unsheathed his sword and was in an attacking position.

" Ok people, as you can see,this is a sword. As much as I would like to avoid fatal cuts, I can't guarantee your safety against this sword. Whoever has a family or something is recommended to quit fighting now." He said to the 1000 C - class spellcasters running towards him. No response from anyone." I expected as much." Light said with a smile.

He ran towards them and wasted no time in attacking.

"Mach style: Dance Of A Thousand Blades!"

Light knew this move uses up a lot of stamina. After all he was still running around circling the enemy! But the move allowed him to have a check on the enemy's moves and let him react accordingly. It made a great move for both one on one and attacking areas. Light preferred to end a fight as quickly as possible, as his magic took a lot of stamina. He was attacking the army and was careful enough to attack only in the non-vital areas. Just then he suddenly got captured in a transparent magic cube.

" Is this trap magic? No, I didn't stay in the same place for 60 milliseconds. It shouldn't be fast enough if it was activated by C-class magic. Unless....."

" Ding Ding Ding! You got the right answer! I'm a general! " A man said suddenly. " I'll be honest, kid I really didn't want to fight today. If it wasn't for your screaming at the gate I would be napping right now. Actually I still wanted to be sleeping but that Duke won't pay me unless I work the hell off. And my girlfriend's gonna kill me if I didn't pay for our date today. Oh and my bad, kid . I didn't introduce myself. My name's Ceray. Ceray Shirakami. Now you wanna give up?" He said and made a translucent glove around his hand.

"He can use trap AND armament magic? Shit, this can get hard." Light thought

Pyron flew over the mansion and landed on the roof. He saw Light trapped in a barrier.

"Shit! I gotta save him." He thought and started flying again.

His wing suddenly got shot off. He fell down to the roof.

"It's been a while since I had a visitor. But you aren't that interesting. Stay still and let me kill you."

"Cliche villain much? I'm bored dude. How about you let me go now. I got a man and a sister to save."

"Then fight me. And no tricks like that burning leg of yours." The stranger said referring to the kick Pyron was about to initiate in a surprise shot.

"You saw it. Oh well you'll get even more boring if you didn't observe that. Now come at me."

"At least remember your killer. It's Yoza Bantam."

"STOP BEING CLICHE! If you ain't fighting,I am. FIREBIRD!" He shouted and shot flames from both his hands. His fire was immediately stopped by a liquid,shiny shield from Yoza.

Mercury is a useful metal. Don't you think? He said and shot some drops from his liquid shield. Pyron knew they were lethal. He quickly moved out of the way and started charging towards Yoza with flaming fists.

"Trying to close the distance because you would lose long range? You are growing well kid. But still I'm not bad myself close combat. " Yoza said and wrapped the Mercury he generated around his arm as a blade. The Mercury blade and the Fire fist clashed.

Light could see Pyron was fighting but couldn't make out the details of the battle.

"Don't bother. He is fighting against Yoza. You can't get there even if you wanted to. Now lemme sleep or else ..."Ceray waved his glove.

Light was trapped inside a barrier while Pyron was fighting and the other generals and the C-class spellcasters were going towards Pyron. He needed to help Pyron quickly. He tried slashing his sword against the barrier but that would take a hell lot of time. He suddenly had an idea. He started slowing his entire body down and vibrating it. He could bypass the barrier if he had the right frequency.

"That's an even worse method than slashing your sword over the barrier. You have to be exactly the frequency of the barrier to pass through. And I don't think you can control your powers to that extent." Ceray told him. " I'll let you out but you have to defeat me. Or I'll kill you."

"Why? Why do you want to fight me?"

"Your sword. It's your father's isn't it? You see, I knew Gourge well. Let's see if you are really his son."saying this he removed the barrier around Light.

"Well how do wanna fight me?" Light asked. He still had his doubts about how Ceray knew his father.

"Classic sword fight. Fight to yield or death." Ceray quickly made a katana into his left hand. It wasn't translucent like his armament glove but was an actual sword with steel and a traditional hilt. "Why the shocked face,kid? A sword is an armament too! And also any armament spellcaster should make a full weapon."

"Mach style : Supersonic Slash!" Light charged at Ceray from the back. Ceray didn't move an inch. He reached out his sword in the last moment to block Light.

"The sword has powers you don't understand. Master your sword, make it choose you. Kill it , Control it, befriend it, but master it."

Light went to a distance and suddenly appeared behind Ceray. He attacked Ceray from the blind spot but he still blocked it." You make it sound like the sword is living. " Ceray smirked and suddenly Light's sword passed through Ceray's.

SOMEWHERE IN THE MANSION

"They're here, Lord Tarn. " A messenger told Tarn.

"It's going by plan? Good. Mom should thank me for this. Make preparations. It's time for a betrayal."

The messenger conveyed the message over his line. "Project Shadow King has started."
