Ch. 10: Principle of Harmony, Belial

Yue smiles and stands up, putting her arms up and facing the full moon in the night sky, throughout the sky the galaxy beautifully illuminates the darkness with thousands of stars.

"What a beautiful night..." Yue chuckles, "it's only fitting that i lay you to rest under the gaze of the stars, no?" Her eyes glow red and she releases a flatus from her palm that takes off Belial's arm and destroys the whole gate to the Jin estate.

Belial thinks of the speed and size of the spell, she shudders, never facing a spell as fast or large before. She regenerates her arm and metal claws activate, wrapping around her hands as she dashes at Yue who casually dodges her attack with an excited grin, Yue backs away from her as shadows wolves form, growling with bloodlust as they jump at her.

Yue prepares to destroy them but the wolves deform into a ball of shadows that hits her away through trees into a forest. Belial apears right after, materialising from shadows as the ball of shadows reshapes into a giant wolf that rips her arm off with its teeth before dissappearing.

Belial stands before Yue who is on her knees, holding the wound of her torn off arm, "how does it feel? Not so smug now, are we?" Belial laughs, seeing her bleeding out on the ground.

"It hurts like a bitch..." She says, breathing heavily from the pain, slowly standing up, her lips curving into a grin. "Regeneratus." She says and her arm completely regenerates.

"What's this now...?" Belial steps back slightly.

"I am a master of healing spells for a reason... So... This fight will be pretty long, won't it?" While the two of them speak, the chariot rides off along a path towards the capital, Fa sits next to Ezra while Helena and Qiang are next to some elders from the Jin clan. All of them sit in silence, Helena notices tears falling from Fa Jin's eyes yet she still keeps quiet, merely looking away.

Yue keeps her Manna flow stable as she stands, keeping her whole body attuned to her surroundings as she seems to try and sense Manna around her. Belial notices this but doesn't make a move, seemingly a little fearful of her, sensing large amounts of Manna within her.

"Good... The chariot went far enough away..." Yue opens her eyes and looks straight at Belial.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"I wonder, why didn't you go with the chariot?"

"Simple, i know, despite you being a 'Principle of Harmony', you only came here to kill. You didn't give us time so you could let us escape, but rather, wanted us to try and escape so you could murder us all while we weren't paying attention, am i right?"

"And? If you are correct, how does that help your case? I will simply kill you here and then destroy the chariot, you are just a random spoiled girl from a prestigious clan, nothing more. You think you have what it takes to end my life? Go ahead and try."

"Fine... The chariot is far enough away anyway so i can finally go all out..." Yue's grin widens, a glowing red mark apearing on her right cheek, going across her eye, the mark apears to be in a shape of a cross.

Belial's eyes widen and she jumps back, "a... A Vanguard?!"

"Exactly! Isn't it pretty? Too bad it'll lead to your death..."

A Vanguard, a mark that apears on a person from birth. It is considered to a mark directly given to a person by god, it is also considered by people as a symbol of a Grandmaster. A person with a Vanguard is almost guaranteed to become a Grandmaster. It is a mark that gifts near infinite amounts of Manna to a person as well as amps their spell casting power by 80%.

The mark then glows along with Yue's eyes, Belial hastily tries to use her Supreme Art and with two finger she slashes off her blindfold, revealing the Principle's red eyes.

"Fluctus!" She shoots a wave of Manna from her hands, destroying Belial's whole body before it regenerates. Yue dodges shadows sent at her before she says "Finalis!" and many objects around her begin to decay and crumble to dust.

"What kind of spells do you even know?!" Belial says fearfully, seeing Yue's abilities.

"Quite a few!" Her body glows and she flies at Belial, saying "Vulnus" and sending a giant red slash the size of an entire mountain at the Principle.

"Die!" Belial cuts her in half with shadows slashes but she reconstructs again, pointing two finger at Belial, "Imperium!" Yue yells and Belial's body begins to contort and moves in a strange motion as Yue laughs maniacally.

She flicks back and Belial flies through many trees and rolls on the ground before healing and standing up, Yue's grin dissappears, "let's end this, prepare yourself." She says, her whole body surging with incomprehensible amount of Manna, as Belial's body begins to surge with her own power, her earings in the shape of black droplets.

"Let's end this in a single attack." They dash towards each other and punch forward. Fa hears something from the chariot and a large sound can be heard as their attention is turned toward a large pillar of red Manna going towards the sky, bursting through the cloud and creating a type of red Aurora Borealis.

But the pillar is the slowly replaced by a pillar of shadows before it dissappears. Fa Jin's eyes immediatelly fill with tears as he falls to his knees

"I... I can't feel her Manna anymore..."
