“As I had heard, you fight in a unique way. I thought soul vessels had vanished from Emerald. Not only that your spirit seems even stronger. I guess I can go a little wild.”
Alex remained cautious of his opponent. Even though he was almost general level now he still didn’t know the enemy’s complete strength.
“Lava Magic: Molten Arms” One-fold magic circles appeared in front of his hand as two large lava hands came out of them, rushing towards Alex. All the trees that came in contact were immediately, melted.
Alex dogged them as best as he could. ‘Aren’t there only six elements used by everyone? Fire, water, air, earth, ice and lightning. How is he using lava?’
Miracle, ‘As far as I know there are some very rare elements that people are capable of using. Some of these rare one’s can be used by anyone who has affinity with their supporting element and some are inherited by people of their specific races or a family bloodline.’
Alex, ‘I suppose Luxario didn’t find it necessary to tell me about these things, damn that old man.’
“You are quick kid; I’ll give you that but can you avoid this?”
Suddenly a two-fold magic circle appeared on the air and ground with Alex in the middle. The next moment, both the circles developed a volcano’s head and launched lava at Alex. After a few seconds the whole of the area was filled with lava. Just when the man thought that Alex was done in by the attack, he saw a black ball where Alex was.
Lava slide from the black ball’s surface and fell down. The ball then started opening and eventually disappeared. It was Alex’s advance version of his mana barrier-Shield: Aura Ball. The Black energy emerged from his sword enveloped him completely defending him from all attacks.
‘If I get hit by that lava even once I’ll be done for.’
Black man then emerged from Alex’s sword until it completely enveloped Alex. The mana kept fluctuating surrounding Alex in an uneven shape. The man smirked in delight.
‘Looks like I’ll have to unleash more power then.’ A three-fold magic circle formed out of which 6 lava made swords came out and remained suspended in air.
Alex tensed as he got a bad feeling. The 6 six swords then moved forward as they attacked Alex simultaneously. His sword skills were barely adequate for fending them off. He was being pushed down into the lava, on the ground.
‘Crap at this rate! Miracle, don’t you have any spells you can teach me to come out of this?’
Miracle, ‘None that you will be capable of doing now. You need to come up with your own method. You have more access to my mana; you can control it as you wish.’
Alex thought he’d pop a vein right now. Miracle said it as if there was nothing else, he can do right now. But then he realized!
‘As I wish… huh, alright then, here goes nothing.’ Alex launched a volley of black mana slashes and drew some distance between himself and the swords. The next moment he held his blade horizontally with one hand and kept his other hand on the blade trying to control his mana.
The man watched Alex, interested in what he’ll pull off next. It was his first time fighting a soul vessel this strong and he wanted to see what Alex had to offer. But the next moment a frown immediately formed on his face as he looked at the 6 black swords of dark colored mana forming around Alex.
‘He… he copied my move?!’
The blades then engaged in a battle with the lava blades.
Miracle, ‘Barely adequate. You could have made several hundred and overpowered him.’
Alex, ‘Yeah nice thought except it’s taking a lot just to control these six properly!’
Although Alex was able to make them, he had recently started learning how to use a sword, obviously the experience gap between him and the curse in front of him would be massive.
“Lightning Coat!” Alex shouted as black electricity ran through his sword. It was technique he had recently created. Using mana to convert to a lightning element he was able use to coat his sword with electricity. After that Alex moved at quick speed and brandished his sword at him. The man blocked by covering his hands in lava and countered Alex’s attack. For a time being they were on a standstill. However suddenly the man grabbed Alex’s sword in his left hand. And was about to punch Alex with his other, when Alex smirked and the black electricity travelled from his sword to the man’s body.
Electricity coursed through his body and the man fell down from the shock. His lava swords had disappeared. The man focused himself immediately after recovering from the shock but it was rather late, Alex’s 6 swords were all aimed at his critical parts.
Alex, “Move and I won’t be merciful.”
The man didn’t believe that Alex would have it in him to kill and was about to move when two swords immediately pierced them. The man screamed in pain. Sweat strolled down the man’s forehead as he realized that he was indeed cornered.
‘Alex this is…’ As Miracle tried to inform something, the sounds of claps entered Alex’s ears.
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
Alex turned around to look who was clapping and saw the same curse sitting on a tree branch. Alex immediately turned to look at the man he was holding captive and saw that he was melting like lava.
‘A clone, but they usually get dispersed after taking a hit.’
As if hearing Alex’s thoughts the man said, “It was clone, just not a normal one, you could say the strength he was fighting at was roughly 40% of me.”
