A War Crime

Alan felt a huge force leaving his body as he rested his aura and laid back on a nearby tree while remembering that the way he fought today was not himself, his fighting style was enveloped with weird emotions which drifted his character away and resulted in a menace. However, Alan was drained and he had no idea if Barry was doing okay or not but for now he had to wish he was. He grabbed a tiny bag from his jacket and opened it up to reveal some kind of tube containing a serum that was given to him by Hazel in case of emergency.

At once he took the lid off and started to slurp it down without hesitation, after some while it felt as if his body was changing as he was slowly regaining his energy and his minor injury were starting to heal, He sat there as the serum did its work hoping to get on his feet before assisting Barry and Gabriel.

The swords clashed as the shing sound was heard all across the dense forest, their continuous momentum enabled them to be combat at incredible speed and if anyone broke that would result in being slashed, it felt like a game of stamina and agility. Soon their momentum was broken down as a flying unconscious body came in their path which forced them to withdraw their swords and backup.

"FELIX!, I thought you would have taken care of that brat Alan?" screamed Francis.

Barry giggled at his response and was now more excited than ever as now he had no worry if Alan was ok as he had taken care of himself pretty well but now it was the turn of Barry.

"Well how can the teacher be belittled by his student, now I gotta win this for sure!", responded Barry.

[Light Type: 6 style ricochet]

Barry glided off the ground and located 6 trees around Francis then using his speed advantage bounced off all 6 to create a six-stripe attack which worked as Francis was hit with one attack and lost his sword while also being pushed back into a boulder.

He coughed up some blood whilst looking at Barry with a death stare as he was not having it anymore with his slick moves he was reminded of when his elder brother had participated in the war with the light clan and was a skilled user of Magic Type but he was killed without mercy by his former partner....Barry Rover.

His brother was once a part of Light residence and belonged to the magic clan, when the Great war began between the shadows and the Light he had participated as a troop fighting alongside the youth side of the army his team of 3 consisted of Barry and Hazel and they were assigned to guard the west side of the residence with the help of other teams as well.

But the thing that caused the tragic event was the ignorant behavior of his brother who got sold out by the shadows and injured Hazel in a fight before deserting the battlefield. Later he arrived back home to grab his little brother and submit him to the shadows before he had to witness any suffering due to his deeds. The battle had not ended but a brother could be seen carrying his brother on his back to the shadows territory, after some traveling he reached and finally dropped his brother off the shoulder to hug him one last time before heading back to the war, but as Francis looked at his brother he noticed a shadowy figure behind who without hesitation slaughtered him on the exact minute before fleeing away as Francis sat there with his brother's body on the side.

Back to the current battle Francis got up with dead eyes and waited for a chance to finish off Barry instantly and luckily he got his wish as Barry himself rushed to him with a fist ready for his head and this was just the thing he was waiting for.

[Illusionary Type: limitless Hallucinations]

Barry approached him and seconds before his contact he looked into his eyes only to get immediately knocked back with a cold feeling which wrapped him swiftly and made him lose consciousness Barry dropped his katanas but along with it dropped something as well.

Francis rushed in with the opportunity and grabbed his katanas to finish Barry off but before he could he heard the sound of something else hitting the ground, he looked down to see a tiny scroll, but as the scroll made contact with the ground a huge ice pillar emerged on spot colliding with the chin of Francis and launching him in the Air.

[Borrowed Time]

[An ability that completely nullifies all effects on a human body for 20 seconds but drains a hefty amount of energy from the user in the process.]

This was a skill gifted to Barry by his Master in case of emergency and he couldn't be more thankful to his master than now. He immediately woke up from his unconsciousness and grabbed Francis mid-air by his throat before crushing him to the ground followed by barrages of light punches on his vital spots which made him unconscious as well, Barry stood up while heavily panting and making his way towards Gabriel and sitting beside him.

"Welp, my time to sleep has come as well Gabriel", said Barry while chuckling and eventually falling asleep in the spell of Francis but before he did he had already called backup through his crow which was observing the fight from above so they both don't get ambushed in their sleep.

The crow landed on a beautiful lit-up house and finally delivered its message for immediate backup, Hazel grabbed her uniform while slightly giggling, she grabbed her katana and called her student along before standing at the gate to look into the sky and observe the moon before departing from the light residency in a rush.

"When will you learn to fight without my help Barry...."
