Chapter 79 – Copy
On Rezald’s side…
Rezald: Hahh… where are we…
Rezald said to Cellux beside him as they try to look out from the window. Cellux then flew outside a little and saw that they seem to be in the largest castle.
Cellux: It seems we are inside Lady Void’s castle… we should call for Lord Nelus.
Rezald: Yeah… we still don’t know much about her, it would be better if we face her with out full force just to be sure.
Rezald said as Cellux nodded in agreement.
Cellux then I will fly over… (As Lord Nelus is linked to me, I can use myself as a warning signal.)
Cellux thought as he flew farther outside as he then bumps into an invisible wall…
Cellux: W-what is this!?
Rezald: Is there a problem?
Rezald said as he saw Cellux suddenly stop…
Cellux: It seems there is an extremely powerful barrier around this castle preventing us from going out…
Rezald: This is bad… maybe she noticed us…
Cellux: We better stay vigilant…
Cellux said as he returns to the large window and landed next to Rezald…
Rezald: Hahh… I want to get out of here.
Rezald said as he sighed.
Cellux: Still… why aren’t there any people other than us?
Rezald: you’re right… I better make sure…
Rezald said as he tries to use his yellow eye’s omnisight in which Rezald named it. His yellow eye then glowed a golden like aura. It seems whenever he uses it, he would see the energies around him, his perception was increased to the point that it felt like time slowed down as well as the power to be immune to illusions to a certain extent and see through the darkness. He then looks around and saw a floating black disk. As he was going to approach it, an eye popped out as he took a step back as he was startled.
A figure then flew out from the disk and attack Rezald… it was actually a portal! As the figure was moving in a normal speed he then noticed that his omnisight was still active… that means this girl was exceptionally fast. He then blocked the girls strike as the girl became dumbfounded. Rezald then pushes her off and summoned Lasteon.
???: Kuhh… to be able to match my speed… how wonderful!
The girl wearing a cloak said as ecstasy filled her as only a few have ever matched her speed.
???: Then how about this?
The girl then gathered mana on her leg as the space around it distorts… it was starting to feel like gravity magic but the difference was instead of controlling gravity, she was nullifying it… as Cellux was going to step in the two stopped him as they stared at him as if saying that this was their fight. Cellux then sighed as he looked at the two fight with each other.
No matter how many spell and attacks Rezald used none of them made contact, and no matter how much the girl uses her speed to quickly close in she was unable to because of Rezalds’ strong wide spread magic.
Ana: How wonderful!! Then for going this far, let me tell you my name, it is Ana, Lady Lexa’s head maid.
Rezald then notices that she does seem to be wearing a maid outfit. Afterwards they still continue to fight as it ends up a draw as it seems they were both complete opposites. While panting the maid then said…
Ana: Why don’t we finish this in one final attack? I have something in mind.
Rezald: Oh? I’m listening.
Said Rezald as he came close to Ana.
Ana: We will both attack at the same time. If my attack reaches you first, it is my win and if you manage to make your attack reach me then it is yours.
Ana said as Rezald ponders for a bit…
Rezald: If you win what will you get?
Rezald asked dubiously as Ana smiled and said.
Ana: Then you will leave this castle and never to return.
Ana said with confidence as Rezald then said…
Rezald: Fine, then if I win, you will lead Bro Nelus, me and Cellux directly to Lady Void.
A variety of voices were then heard around them.
???: Miss Ana, you shouldn’t!
???: Why don’t we help you dispose them?
???: Yeah… it should be fine with us.
Ana: I’m am sorry but I must decline, this a matter only for me. I think you girls who are ranked A or S will be unable to defeat him…
Ana said as she stares at Rezald.
???: Isn’t he just a fragile young human?
Ana: Even if he is young, his powers match those of X rank.
???: This can’t be… for a human to be this strong…
The voices then disappeared without a trace; they didn’t know that with Rezald’s omnisight he saw multiple other floating black disks around them.
Rezald: (So there are more of them…)
Ana: Shall we start?
Rezald: I’m ready…
As they stood still waiting to see who would make the fist move. Ana then rushed towards Rezald leaving a blur as Rezald transforms his spear into a staff and used Gale manipulation, blowing her away as she concedes in defeat as technically she was attacked first. Cellux smiled wryly as what Rezald used was too big of a scale of a spell as it was nearly impossible to avoid.
Rezald: How about our deal?
Rezald said with a questioning expression as Ana sighed.
Ana: Hahh… a promise is a promise…
Ana said as she leads them to the topmost floor.
Ana: We are here…
She then closes in to the large door and opened it…
???: Cellux!? Is that you?
The beautiful woman with an eye patch said as she looks at Cellux…
Cellux: You know me? Who are you…
On Nelus side…
Nelus then walked nonchalantly towards the largest castle as he looks at the towering castle in front of him. He then sensed a barrier in front of him as one of the soldiers approaches him.
???: Hahh! This is one of Lady Void’s great void barrier, now that it is cast around the castle, there is now way for you to get in.
Nelus then used Pyro Garad, an X rank spell just like Pyro Flariga as Nelus hands were covered in explosive flames while using Pyro Force. He then punched the barrier blowing everyone near him away as a crated was formed under the barrier, other than that there are no damage at all… He then brought out a metallic sword… a familiar golden sword… it was Kaikus the Golden Long Sword from before. It has the ability to strengthen fire element attacks as well as boost the user’s control over the element.
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
Ever since he mastered fire magic he stopped using Kaikus, also he didn’t want to exceed the X rank threshold so he decided to use a fire spell with Kaikus as even if it was an X rank spell with the help of Kaikus it will just boost it up to a certain limit. He then cast his usual Pyro Flariga as it was a spell he was mostly used to. He then enlarges it using the sword as he imbued it into his sword; he then slashed down with the force inside Pyro Flariga as... the place shook further destroying the barrier. Sensing Cellux and Rezald, he flew up using Spatial Magic and saw…
???: Cellux!? Is that you?
Cellux: You know me? Who are you…
???: My name is Lexa…
She said as she rushed towards Cellux… she then… hugs him… Cellux then pushes her away as she looks down and sighed…
Lexa: So you have forgotten me… it really is my fault…
Cellux: What do you mean?
Lexa: Because of me, you lost your memories…
Cellux: The only things I forgot were what happened in the war as well as some years before it.
Lexa: Cellux… how is Queisa?
Cellux: H-how do you know about Queisa…?
Lexa: You might have forgotten but the one who introduce me to you was Queisa… my best friend…
Cellux’ head was spinning as he was unable to comprehend what was happening.
Rezald: Then how did this all happen?
Ana then went forward to explain as Lexa looks away…
Ana: Lady Lexa was once before in love with Lord Cellux and when Lord Cellux decided to choose Lady Queisa, she cast a great curse in her grief with a great price to pay… envy can bring about the darkest emotions… and that curse has a price… to lose something precious… her place in the life of the one she loves.
Rezald: The memories about her in her beloved… to be forgotten by the one you love.
Ana: Exactly… as for what happened in the war, the red spirit intervened and managed to stop most of Cellux’ memories from deteriorating. Cellux was actually torn on who to choose that day… or at least that is how it goes when Lady Lexa told me... what did happen to Lord Cellux afterwards?
Calice: (Oooh! I can answer that! Someone with enough power to rescue him from the battle field it must have been that Minael!)
Nelus: (I see… it all falls into place on how they got there and who set up that powerful barrier as despite Cellux’ absence the barrier’s mana is still supplied…)
Cellux: Then… are you the reason why all male beings of divinity had their divinity sealed up?
Cellux said with serious eyes as Lexa became momentarily flustered and said…
Lexa: No… even I can’t cast a curse on you and the others like that…
Cellux: Then who?
Lexa: He calls himself… the “observer”… he said that both sides will wager and in the end those who lose will seal the source of life of the male immortals.
Cellux: Why only males?
Lexa: He said he only has power to use on one gender… on either side… then both sides will forget his existence.
Cellux: Then how did you remember?
Lexa: As I have said, not only you whose memories were stopped from deteriorating but me also. Queisa was with that Divine you call Minael at that time so she didn’t know about the wager.
Cellux: Did you tell anyone?
Lexa: Yes, to those who fought in the war… it will just get erase each time they remember it.
Nelus: (“Observer” somehow it feels familiar… it can’t be… the one Wedea said she got that X rank weapon from…? They said that they will all go to the central region of the land of darkness while we came to see Lady Void and defeat her, the mastermind… I can’t just rush things… if this was really war why aren’t there any void soldiers on the field, all of them were here as well as the 4 rulers including Lady Void unlike Riseos and that Trigus…) Say… do you know about the current war?
Lexa: Ah! I declined being included in it as I have no reason to join.
Nelus: Don’t you hate beings of divinity?
Lexa: No… I don’t, Voids doesn’t usually care what happens to others, at that time during the Great War I was the only void.
Suddenly two figures came in from the window, it was Kawt and Clara who was carrying someone.
Kawt: Then what about your nephew, Dotis?
Rezald: Oh! You finally came!
Golus: Sorry milady, I didn’t manage to get rid of the intruders…
Lexa: Its alright, they are my acquaintance…
Golus then twitched as he bowed deeply.
Golus: Ah! I am sorry for being disrespectful.
Lexa then sighed and continued…
Lexa: I let him enter Nox Academy as it was his wish, other than that there is nothing else…
Kawt: I see… did you know he was supplying materials in the war using your name?
Lexa: Wh-why would he do that?
Lexa said with a complicated expression…
Clara: Easy… to gather, the strongest which I think are these three and take them away to battle with the void race as a diversion… they all know how powerful you are…
Rezald: So that is why Riseos and the others kept repeating your name at that time…
Nelus: Lets head back quickly; I have a bad feeling…
Cellux: Let’s go!
Nelus then flew out using Spatial Magic as the others followed.
???: Aren’t you going to follow them?
Lexa: Did you hear the whole thing?
Folia: (Nelus huh…) Yep, I heard all of it.
Lexa: I… Lord Folia… I-I…
Folia: Its alright, I’ll go with you…
Lexa: E-eh!? What do you mean go with me?
Folia: (I thought he seemed familiar… Nebulus… interesting! Ahahahah!!!)
