A
pulse of dark magic wave blasted the door in. Throwing both The Woman and
The Angel back hitting the wall. A figure was standing there just a step away
from the hole where there used to be a door. A dark figure with the whole
body covered by the robe it was wearing and face hidden by shadow leaving only
a pair of glowing red eyes staring at The Woman.
The
Woman stood right away, using her magic unearthing a number of large spiky
roots from the earth floor on her right side. But right before The Woman launch
those roots at the unkown figure, it immediately raise it’s left hand with palm
opened at the woman, releasing another pulse of impurities magic wave at The
Woman. The Woman was thrown back hard to the wall behind her, and fall
unconsciously.
“definetely
not her” said the unknown figure in a hoarse heavy voice. Seeing The Woman fall
unconsciously, The Angel grabbed the knife he had and rushed toward the unknown
figure. “must be you then” said the unknown figure followed by a surprisingly fast
rush toward The Angel. Shocked by the magic rush that brought the unknown
figure right in front of him, his reflex made he swung the knife to slash the
unknown figure. But the unknown figure dodged it and took two quick step to get
behind The Angel, grabbed him and flew up fast through the roof and to the
meadow outside the hut. It dropped the angel on mid air and landed a bit far
from the angel.
The
Angel got straight up and threw the knife he was holding to the unknown figure.
But before the knife could reach him, he shot the knife with his impurities
magic, destroying the knife and then followed by another shot right at The
Angel’s heart. The Angel fell down on his knee, hurting, holding his chest
where he was shot. He felt pain, but he felt something else too, something
strange, like another heart is beating inside him, and then he realized
something.
“why don’t you use your
magic? Why dont you show me how strong is your magic? Why dont you show me the
power that will soon be mine?” said the unknown figure followed by another
magic shot to The Angel, this time with a bigger force and power than before. With
lightning stroke from his hand, The Angel destroyed the magic projectile the
unknown figure shot. “you want magic? I’ll show you magic” said The Angel in a cold
angry tone. The unknown figure laughed a bit and said “now that i am sure you
have and can still do magic, i will take that magic from you...”
“i am Ukhri, The Crusher.
I challenge you into a duel.” The unknown figure introduce itself and challenge
The Angel. “an underling?” ask The Angel. “i am Rein, The Thunder Strike. I
accept your challenge.” Ukri laughed in his hoarse voice and it slowly turn
into a screeching laugh as he turned into
a very tall dark slender creature, with arms so long it almost reach the
ground, with another pair of long big arms coming out of his back forming like
a wing with its palm. It let out a very loud screeching scream and flew fast
towards Rein.
Right infront of Rein
he swung both of his large hands to crush him. Rein formed a pair of wings from
his lightning magic and move it to cover him from both sides. Ukri’s crushing
move was blocked by Rein’s wings. Ukri took a leap back and shot a large
impurities magic beam force toward Rein. But Rein’s wings disjointed the magic
beam, leaving Rein untouched. “my turn” said Rein.
He formed a lance made
out of lightning magic on his left hand. Rushing forward, stabbing and dragging
Ukri quite far. After he stopped, he charged lightning magic on both hands. At
that moment Ukri tried to swing his left normal hand to hit Rein. But Rein rush
up flying dragging Ukri up to the sky with left hand, and after a few moment
piercing through him with right hand. While Ukri still floated, Rein charged
lightning magic in both hands, combined them and summoned a great thunder,
striking Ukri right on the heart, leaving a scorching hole on his chest. Ukri
fell down to the ground, hit the ground with face down, and turned back to his
previous form.
Rein let himself fall
down from the sky and landed on his knee beside Ukri’s dead body. “there’s a
reason why they called me The Thunder Strike, you know” said Rein. He got up,
after seeing Ukri’s dead body for the last time to make sure he was dead, he ran
inside the hut to check on The Woman. He saw The Woman sitting there on the
ground leaning his back on the wooden wall of the hut. “are you okay? Im so
sorry about your hut, i’ll make you a new one, i promise” said Rein to The
Woman in a worry tone. “im okay, dont worry about the hut, im a magic
user too remember? A nature magic one. I can make a new one real quick. Anyway, who did you said your
name was? Sorry i dont remember, i was too amazed by all your magic while watching you fight from here.”
“oh, right. My name is
Rein, and you are?” said Rein.
