When Klaus punched at the barrier, nothing happened. With his anger clouding his mind, he kept on punching, but after a few seconds of watching this Agnes reached and plucked his heart out.
Klaus fell there lifelessly, but Agnes moved and placed Klaus in-between the young witches and planned to channel his power.
Everyone knew that Klaus will be fine if he was taken out of they're after a few minutes. So Max decided to plan something and asked Elijah, "Elijah, is there a weakness for that spell?"
Elijah shook his head and said, "If we attack physically the barrier will block it, if you use energy attack, that Mirror spell will send it back. Teleport everyone back to the house we can't let her channel us.
Max heard and thought of something. He charged his entire body with ki and went at her punching the barrier, but this time the barrier didn't hold up.
As Max's fist was about to hit her, she stared at him and Max momentum came to an abrupt halt. Then she chanted a spell and sent Max back flying.
Max who was thrown away felt his internal organs bleeding, but his Sage Mode lasted a few minutes which healed him and used up the last of Sage Mode chakra.
Max then made a shadow clone and the clone teleported itself away from there. Max then came beside Elijah and Rebecca who got up and said, "Guys she's not as strong as she looks, only the magic is strong. All we have to do is sever the link between her physical self and the other side."
Rebecca knew what Max was implying so she said, "But to sever the link we have to kill the girls and as far as I know they are all bring protected by that barrier and her Mirror spell."
Max nodded and said, "I know. So when I drag her away from there, I need you guys to kill all four girls, not even one of them should live."
Rebecca asked, "How are you going to do that? And I know that you're stronger when you're all green, but now you're back to normal."
Max just said, "I'll do it somehow. But be ready to take action."
Both if them knew that Max had a plan so decided to trust him.
Max saw Klaus's sphere lying on side, so he took it and told them, "On my Mark, you kill them and drag Klaus out of there."
They nodded. Max then felt his shadow clone undid itself and felt himself filled with nature energy collected by his shadow clone.
Elijah and Rebecca were surprised that Max instantly turned green. But they knew that Max is back to his peak.
But Max didn't attack Agnes, this confused both of them, and before Elijah could ask Max what's going on, he heard Max say, "Kaio-Ken x3"
As soon as Max said that he channeled his ki and chakra according to Kaio-Ken method. Elijah, Rebecca and even Agnes saw Max's energy go crazy around him.
Max who was emitting red ki all around him channeled both his ki and chakra in to the Sphere in hand. The Sphere started to vibrate and gave off a purple hue. Max shouted at Elijah, "Now!!!" and threw the Sphere at Agnes and flew towards her.
As the Sphere is magic resistant and combined with Max's ki and with the force Max threw, it instantly shattered the Mirror spell and barrier spell and dug though her heart dragging get backwards.
Max who followed close by, brought his energy to the utmost as he dragged Agnes nearly 20 meters away from the place where she was channeling her magic.
Elijah and Rebecca who saw that the barrier was down instantly went to place where the four witch's were lying. Elijah cut off two of witches' heads while Rebecca ripped another two's heart.
After that they both dragged Klaus away from there. And just as soon as possible was taken out of the spell circle he woke up.
Max who was holding Agnes didn't know why she didn't retaliate with some spells. So he looked up to see her expressionless face.
She looked at Max and said, "Young Hunter, you have thwarted our ploy. But know this, we will soon return. When we return, we will come with all our might, as today's was only a tenth of our true strength."
Max knew that this was a different person than the Agnes who he met last night. So Max decided to clear his doubt, "Who are you?"
Agnes who was losing power slowly said, "We are the first of our kind. We are what brought our kind our name. We are the first to use magic thought out time. We are Witch as shall all of has always been called."
Max was shocked to hear this. He didn't expect that this was a soul of the Originl with. And from what he heard this was only a tenth of her power, which he was unable to fight it.
He shivered at the thought of fighting this Witch in her full power. He wanted to know more about her, but before he could ask, she said, "The one born of Argent. Your bloodline says your name. When I return, your bloodline shall end." after that, all the light vanished from her eyes.
Max knew that she was dead, so he charged at ki ball and destroyed her entire body. He turned to the Mikaelsons and said, "Guys, I think we fucked up."
All three siblings has heard the conversation between Max and the Witch, so they knew that trouble was coming in the future.
Elijah said, "When it comes, it comes. We'll handle it together."
Max thought about it and said, "We need to get stronger."
Rebecca said, "We could give you our mother's grimoire. You can learn strong spells from there. But you need to return that soon."
Klaus also agreed to this, "We vampire are the strongest of our species. We don't have much room to grow stronger. But you can. I know that Witch will come for all of us. The more stronger we are, the better our chances will be."
Max thought about it and he also agreed. He knows that he had magic energy in his body because he made the wish to God asking for energy manipulation giving him almost all kinds of energy within his body. He looked at them and said, "Guys, thank you. I'll definitely repay you for this."
Elijah too his chance and said, "We already owed you once. So this makes us even, so don't worry."
Klaus stretched out his hand and said, "From today we are no longer allies, we are friends. We invite you in our bond of Always and Forever. Are you willing to be a part of this, Max Argent?"
Max knew what this meant. This is the trust that Klaus who suspects everyone else placed on himself. He knew was the second person to receive this, as the first one was Marcel Gerard.
Max extended his hand and shook it with Klaus and said, "Always and Forever, huh? It's better to have more friends than enemies. Thank you."
Next chapter will be the last of this volume. So in the third volume Max will do his first dimensional jump.
So enjoy guys.
