Chapter 20 - Beyond mortal

The sky was flashing with Light and Lightning. Aquila fighting against five golden knights summoned by Phobe

"These guys have no limit in using element. They are basically immortal using light element. I can't waste time on these knights and Professor doesn't have much time left. Not to mention, Others are in danger. Those people won't hesitate to kill." (Aquila)

Phoebe walking to Christe with other team members.

"Oh, poor boy, it must be hard to have been born in a cursed clan. I will be kind enough and let you live until goddess give oracle. Now hand over that woman. As Holy maiden of Divinity and oracle of Goddess. I will eliminate her in the name of justice and save humanity" (Phoebe)

"Over my corpse" (Christe pulling out his sword from hand)

Laughs "What a lovely sight. A kid blinded by love for his mother. Oh goddess, please allow me to eliminate this cursed child too" (Phoebe)

"Did you think I am weak without anyone help? Fine, I will amuse you. Everyone, we don't have much time. so, Take the stones we have and go to arena. I will deal with all of them and come" (Phoebe)

"As you command, my lady" (Icarus) Everyone dispersed from there.

"It's time to punish the sinners" A Sword glowing with Light formed in her hand. "The sword of divinity to eliminate evil." In the next second she cut off Christe's both hands and the light element burning on him.

"AAAAAAAAAA" Christe screaming

"How dare you to raise a sword against an Oracle. Filthy human"

"Now, where were my manners. I apologize" Regenerating his hand "Killing you in one hit will be an easy punishment. Isn't it"(Phoebe)

"Stay away from them" Stream of lightning coming from her hand while she is attacking knights with other hand

Before it reaches phoebe, one night came and take the full blow and remain unfazed.

"Why don't you understand that you all are not strong enough to fight me. Don't you realize that fighting against me considered as treason. Even if you people survive, death penalty is awaiting you all. The entire world will be watching this, and they are waiting for me to pass the judgement" (Phoebe)

Meanwhile in Arena, Esther and Emiko are cuffed with dark element chains.

"My wife and son are in danger. How can you guys call this as competition. This has nothing to do with stones. She just plainly torturing them" (Esther shouting in anger)

"I swear If something were to happen to my niece, The Enigma kingdom will be bathed in blood"(Emiko)

"Because those people went against Holy maiden and the oracle of goddess. Death is a little punishment for them" (Laurent the divine lord)

"Even I can't accept what my son did. I will have to remove him from Aqua clan as heir and give that position to my youngest son" (Crius Aqua Father of Claude and duke of Aqua clan)

"The main rule of this competition is that no one should interfere with the competition. It has been followed like that way for centuries. (Adrian Cressa)

"They deserve that for messing with my son." (Vilshier Anema)

"This competition is created to eradicate those monsters. So that they won't grow in numbers. But, none of you tried to find the root cause and instead of monsters. Students are being killed by the duke family children. Is that your goddess oracle or is this your way to eradicate clans. (Esther)

The people started shouting in arena, calling Isagi and her team has sinners, and their clans should be put in prison

Emiko clenching her fists which making the sky sparkling in lightning.

It took all three-clan duke's and Laurent to put chain on those two. If Laurent was not here, at least one of the three would have been dead now. (Adrian Cressa)

It's my fault for allowing them to join this competition. Both of them were eager to join this. I should have stopped them no matter what. I finally managed to confess her while pretending to be asleep and never got any answer. Now, I feel like I will never receive any answer from her. (Esther)

"Aquila is pretty strong for her age. If Phoebe didn't summon that Knights, she might had chance to do something. At least she would have rescued everyone to Arena" (Emiko)

"What difference that would do. All people here are eager to execute them. She might have already realized that. This damn chains!!" (Esther)

"Why Empress and Elf princess are quiet?? Are they going to allow this?" (Emiko)

"I can hear you, Emiko. Of course, I am not allowing this, but I don't have any authority to intervene in human's rules. The Empress has strictly told me that before coming here" (Aaradhya)

"So is our Empress being the main culprit here uh" (Esther)

"Stopping Holy maiden's actions will cause a potential war for going against goddess oracle. Countless people will die. I am not saying your wife and son should accept the fate. If someone capable of changing their fate, then so be it. Even my spear won't cut her. what you expect me to do. Being strongest person doesn't mean I can kill something Immortal" (Adleida)

Is there no person in this world can save my family? (Esther)

Meanwhile in the mountain,

"I got bored by cutting your hands and regenerating. Let's just end your mom and you in one strike" (Phoebe)

Phoebe raised her light sword.

"Uh? what's that" drops of water. "Is it rain?" it started raining.

Coughs coughs

"Who's that." Phoebe turned around. "Did she wake up from unconsciousness?"

"Professor!!!" Elissa started walking towards Isagi.

"Is she blind? What a weird girl. I should just cut her first" When Phoebe tried to move her hand. It won't move. "What's this, my hand not moving?"

The people watching in the Arena couldn't process what is happening.

"Stop approaching me you stupid mortal" Sensing their master abnormal status. The knights started flying to protect her

Thunder strikes them from clouds. "Ah Ah Ah, weren't we busy in playing." Aquila stopped those knights.

"Stop, you puny human. I can't be killed by anyone" (Phoebe)

"Are you sure?" When Elissa raised her hand, the entire rain drops froze and they are floating in air.

"You got to kidding me? she turned the rain into her element. I knew her water element is unique compared to others, but this is" (Aquila)

"Taking in one droplet of my element is enough for me kill a mortal. You took it on every inch of your body." (Elissa)

"I am an oracle of goddess. I got blessed by everyone when I born. There is no one in this world that can kill me. I can regenerate" For the first time in her life. Phoebe felt fear.

"Will you able to regenerate If you teared every single cell in your body and Even If you can, you would never be able to move freely as long as I am alive. Shall we see whether you die or suffer for lifelong" (Elissa)

"Don't do anything reckless, the goddess is above me. She won't forgive anyone" (Phoebe)

"Right now, the one who stands above you is me. No one from that Arena will come to save you. Because they are watching this right now and they knew what would happen to them If they approached this place" (Elissa)

In Arena,

"What is this! Your majesty, you have to save our maiden. The goddess won't keep quiet if something were to happen to her"(Laurent)

"I am keeping my word. I won't interrupt the competition. If you want, go ahead. But despite whatever the result. The one who steps into the field will be executed by me. As you people said, this rule is followed for centuries right. I want people to know that no goddess saved your life centuries ago." (Adleida)

Aaradhya is smirking "Just because you have part of her power doesn't mean you can be her"

Laurent was shocked to hear that.

Elissa made Phoebe fall to her knees. Suppressing her element which made the knights disappear.

Aquila came down and hugged Elissa and then looked at phoebe

"I wish I could hit you but saving professor comes first" (Aquila)

"I wo.." (Phoebe)

"Speak another word and you will see something worse than death" (Elissa)

Christe who is in shock this whole time. Finally snapping out, when he heard mother will be healed.

"It will be alright now" (Aquila)

Phoebe who left with no choice, Performing the divine heal of light element.

"I can sense her body returning to normal. She should be waking up soon, let's tend to others"(Elissa)

Christe hugged Elissa and Aquila. Aquila started blushing. "I sense rising in heartbeat in Aquila" (Elissa)

"Please don't use your element to sense other feelings" (Aquila)

"Oi, I am not giving my niece to your family" (Emiko)

"Shut up, my wife already suspecting that I am cheating on you" (Esther)

"And? Why would you she complains that. Is she jealous?"(Emiko)

"Is she??" (Esther)

After treating everyone.

"Should I try cutting her in million pieces" (Aquila)

"If you want, go ahead" (Elissa)

"I was just kidding. you have the right to make the decision" (Aquila)

"I will allow her to live. She said she can do whatever she wants right. She should live realizing that she couldn't do anything to anyone. As she said, Death is too little punishment."(Elissa)

"But doing that means, you would be in constant danger all your life. They will try to kill you to free her" (Aquila)

"Killing her also won't change that" (Elissa)

All other students gathered and Christe carrying Isagi.

"I guess so, Anyway I only have Isagi team stone. Use that to proceed to next competition."(Aquila)

"But what about you guys?" (Claude)

"Let's say this is far as we go."(Elissa)

They all started walking together to arena as sun rises and sky became clear.
