Chapter 32
Mirrors formed around lugh. In response. He stood firm and calm. The mirrors glowed.
Anacard, cocky. Serious.
"I'll end you with your favourite spell"
Lugh
"Favourite spell... which ever could you mean"
Anacard
"Those mirrors will reflect your most beloved spell"
Lugh
"Ah... I see"
Blood like mana wave emitted from his body. Breaking the pretty mirrors.
"Dont tell me now.. those mirrors were supposed to be strong"
Said lugh sarcastically.
Anacards fist clenched
"You---"
A voice Echoes
"You couldn't even defeat a injured lion. I guess–even if injured a lion still a lion"
Anacard turned towards the barricade in which the queen was imprisoned.
Anacards eyes fixed on the barricade. Sweat goes down his face.
The barricade burst opened.
Air wave released. Brushing them. Pushing them.
Lugh stood firm.
Anacard covered his eyes.
As he removed his hands from his eyes. He said. Amused
Anacard
"Amusing. I'm impressed by the both of you. I cant help but wonder which one of you is stronger"
Vartr stood silent as a sword manifested out of thin air. Made of black mist.
Smiling.
Lugh smiled as if he had predicted what would happen next
"Interesting question—but the answer is pretty simple. She is stronger than me"
Anacard chuckled. mocking.
"My bad.... why did i even ask such a stupid question"
An immense energy was felt. Something similar to the dark emperor. Attracting all the attention to her.
Vartr retracts the blade to the back. Emitting dark mana. She swung her dark sword.
The whole mirroring sky splits in half. And breaks from the center.
They looked. Expression froze in horor.
The slash cutting through the space itself. Emerged from within the black space left by the slash was something similar to a black hole. As a strong vacuum pulled every bit of mana to it.
Source Expansion MIRARIA crumbled—absorbed by the black hole. MIRARIA faded so did the black space.
Anacard giggled Amusingly.
"Amazing. A beauty like you is so strong...
Amazing. TRULY AMAZING"
His smile curving. Creepy. Blush on his face.
As if something sort of a lust-Crazed freak intoxicated by power.
Looking at Anacards creepy face lugh sighed.
" At least control yourself in front of a crowd. Your so-called modest tendencies are visible on your face "
Anacard rolls his eyes.. Smiling creepily. "That can wait.
my dear needs my utmost attention "
Anacard stretched his arm towards to side. A mirror formed slightly shivering infront of his palm.
Then, the slowly pulsing mirror shattered. Broken pieces of it spiraled around his palm and made a sword.
A sword whose blade is made of reflective—shining glassand hilt and handle of gold embroidery.
Seing the shimmering glass blade-—lugh narrowed his eyes and smile loomed over his face. " you just saw what she did to your mirrors" Anacard completely ignored lugh
"you think a sword made of glass can do anything—know what.....be my guest"
Lugh eyes darkened.
"Ive had enough of the both of you" said vartr as she launched towards the pope and upon blocking it—he goes flying over the lake. He moving in air over the lake caused massive ripples in it.
Regaining his motion----he lands on water. Standing on top of it. Lifting his chin up a not so elegant smiled stretched over hid elegant face. A smile that a saint should never possess.
He ducks slightly. As if trying to dip his face in water. His feet wedged inside water causing massive waves inside the lake.it was as if the still lake had started to flow.
He flew. The surface of lake he stood on exploded with a Shockwave.
Anacard flew in the sky. Piercing the wind.
He stopped—as if he was levitating in sky
Standing on wind. He looked down with his psychotic gold eyes.
Lugh standing on the ground—ignored him like a flea.
Vartr giggled. A faint smile.
She starts to slowly levitate above the ground before reaching the same level as Anacard in a snap.
Her quick movement. Lifting air Shockwave spiraling over the spectators as they looked with nothing but helplessness.
Vartr tightened her grip of her sword. So did Anacard. As they launched towards each other and clashed their blades, a shockwave so massive and so strong, was formed that it was able to cut through the ground and spit up the whole lake for a moment.
They backed away, before clashing again and again and again. Anacard and vartr engaged in a close combat. Whenever their blades clashed—an immense shockwave was released.
The whole atmosphere of the arena changed to dark and dampened—as the whole ground cracked as if a massive magnitude earthquake had hit. The nearby mountains collapsed.
The space itself was shaking. Midst all this turmoil lugh stood his ground—only gazing up at the battle in the sky. They headmaster and the others backed away into safety–still could see everything.
Their blades collided with a flash. A deafening crack splits the earth.
Lake rose. Ground ruptured.
They backed away. Maintaining a distance.
"Amazing and amusing" said Anacard as he starts channeling more mana in his blade
"But, im afraid its time to end it"
"Fun? It was hardly a challenging fight" replied vartr as she began to infuse more of her dark misty mana into her blade.
Space around the mirror sword shimmered—space around the black blade darkened.
Lugh standing firmly on the ground. Observing all this thought [if they clash one. More time—then who knows how much destruction it will bring]
Narrowing his dark ruby eyes—lugh whispered " Its time for me to step in"
His right arm on fire. A pale emerald green flame loomed over his arm.
Not noticing lugh. The both of them launched at each other. As they neared. They swung their blades. Anacards mirror blade Slashing through the air. Vartrs black sword cutting through the space.
The blades were millimeters away from contact—when green–poison like ivy arose from the ruptured ground. Whiping through the sky. Coiled around their blades arms. Pulling the away from each other.
[ what!!!] Anacard confused. Looked at the I've vines coiled around his arm.
"There's No way..." exclaimed vartr looking at lugh in a snap—who stood with Venidia pointing towards them.
Realization struck Anacard. As he turned towards lugh immediately. His golden eyes witnessing Venidia left him baffled.
In response to their confused reaction. Lugh just lowered Venidia. Seing lugh do it—not knowing what to expect. They exclaimed.
Anacard
"Eh"
Vartr
"Eh
Next second. They were pulled to the ground by the emerald ivy crashing into it. Their crash lifted up sand smoke and shook up the ground. Lugh stood not caring.
The dusty smoke slowly dissappears as the both of them slowly tries standing up—but gets pulled to the ground by ivy as lugh walked over.
Anacard gritting his jaw looked up at lugh with resentment. He looked back down at him with disgust, as he said
"You are arrogant who doesn't listen to the warnings given to you by others. Which will one day bring you to your Demise.
You are obsessed with power and lusts after beauty you love seing things break.
Outwardly you can pretend to be the most elegant—but your personality will always be that of a masquerading lunatic who wears an elegant crown made of broken glass"
Anacard heard lughs words. He made a face so disgustingly in anger that it would put demos to shame.
Veins popping all over his face and arms—he gritted his teeth like a lunatic.
Venidia ivy coiling around him bursts—releasing him.
Veiled by busy gold like mana flowing like ocean from him—he lifts his arm up in the sky.
A mirror forms in the space. As sun shines its light on the mirror. It shines.
Vartrs released from the ivy due to Anacards outburst looks up in the sky.
"It cant be.." she whispered.
Headmaster and professors and the rileys party were the only lot that was conscious still. They looked in the sky. True horor struck them like snake. As they blankly watched entirety of a sun was about to fall on the planet.
Vartr, unusually calm about the situation said to Anacard
"HAVE YOU GONE MAD? APPEARANCE OF A SECOND SUN WOULD DISTURB THE BALANCE BETWEEN PLANETES"
But Anacard was consumed by anger and disregarded her every word
He looked straight upwards to the sun.
Lughs face showing disappointment.
" I'm quite impressed by how weak you are Anacard "
Hearing lughs nonchalant voice and indifferent expression angered him even more. "YOU ARE THE ONE WHO HAVE COMMITTED SIN OF PRIDE" SHOUTED ANACARD.
At that moment, the mirrors that held the Sun–let it go. The sun started falling.
Lugh chin down. Started laughing slowly at first—then began laughing crazily as he lifts his chin up.
Vartr and Anacard looked in silence. Speechless at the sight.
His cryptic laugh fades—but his crazy smile stays. His hair covering his eyes like bangs.
His red eyes glowing through them.
"SIN OF PRIDE? The only sin I'm guilty of is the sin of Wrath" He lifts his head up to face them. His eyes glowing through his bangs. His crazy smile stretching throughout his face " you wouldn't know that. But right now—i'm in the mood to show you why I'm condemned to the sin that is wrath"
Said lugh in a voice so terrifying, face and smile so scary that it sends chills down vartrs spine.
As Anacard looked in lughs eyes. His new found anger vanished. Replacing it by true horor
Eyes of a man can reflect one's true thoughts. And Anacard is capable of reading ones thoughts as they are reflected in eyes.
As he glared deep in lughs eyes he saw pure abyss. It was pure darkness. It felt as though he was glaring in void itself. But thats not all. He saw lughs true thoughts. He saw what lugh planned to do to him is what horrified him.
His anger dissipated. Instead it was true horror.
The falling sun exploded. The whole sky shined redish-yellow..it shimmered. Shock ripping through the clouds. As the whole azure was tainted. It groaned, it growled and it screamed.The ground shook up from the explosion in space. Ripples felt in air.
