“He may not be at his strongest right now.But he is still the man who defeated the God.”Leo said as Luna looked back at her.Luna was shocked to see Leo use one of TearFire’s signature moves “Skip”.Even though he rarely used that move,It could be deadly depending on how he used it.Luna was shocked for a second.But she began to smile as she realized that Leo’s mana was nowhere near the Legend.

“Why are you smiling?”Leo asked.

“Nothing,I was thinking that maybe I can go all out after all.”Luna said.

“Wait!You were holding back?”Leo asked with surprise.

“What did you thought?”Luna taunted.

“I should have known that.”Leo said.She lifted up Excalibur above her head and got into her usual fighting stance. “But…”Leo said as a number of clones came out of her body,and rushed towards Luna with slashes left and right.Luna was slicing every single one of those clones with speed greater that Leo.Leo stopped making more clones as she saw her attacks were not affecting Luna.Leo looked tired,she was breathing hard.

“You should have known,that the “skip” moves eat up a hell lot of mana.”Luna said resting her sword on her shoulders.She didn’t looked tired at all. “It is not like you have unlimited amount of mana,Like me.”Luna taunted.

“You…”Leo said as she rushed towards Luna with her blade.She slashed Luna but she dodged and hit Leo with her sword.It was again a clone.From her behind an other Leo appeared and slashed Luna from behind.This time Luna got hit.She looked back with furious eyes.Leo didn’t flinched.She attacked with an other slash this time on her chest.This made Luna step backward.Luna then stepped forward with a fist on Leo’s stomach which pierced her stomach,making blood flow out from it.Luna’s injuries vanished as if they were never present.Leo fell down before she vanished as well.

“Tsk clone again…”Luna said with angry face. “It looks like you have got some mana there”Luna said lifting her sword towards where the real Leo was.

“Yeah,but it is not infinite like you said.”Leo said.

“Let me show you something.”Luna said.Leo looked curious for a second.She looked back as she sensed Luna’s mana from behind.She saw Luna’s clone attacking her with her sword.Leo brought her free hand in front of that sword activating inferns and destroying clone in the process.But she looked really exhausted after doing that attack “You are not the only one who can use this little trick.”

“Looks so..”Leo said looking towards Luna.

“But still,you are awesome Leo.Being able to use not just “skip” ,but inferns too.I have seen only four other people who could do that.Even though your inferns is still not perfect.”Luna said praising her enemy.

“Not perfect,What do you mean?”Leo asked while she rushed forward and attacked Luna with lefts and rights.Luna was still blocking them all like it was not a problem at all.Leo wrapped inferns on her sword and attacked her with a huge slash of black energy.This made both of them fell back on their legs a little.

“You can’t use inferns to its full potential.It has not taken the form of hy yet.”Luna said.

“What?!”Leo was surprised. “Is hy a part of inferns?”She asked.

“It is the reverse.Inferns a black hole which absorbs all the energy which is given to it.It can also store and release that energy.But hy is more superior.You might have seen Tear use his blue flames.It is a more perfected version of your inferns.It is just a mixture of pure light mana with inferns which makes it look like vibrant blue flames.But once someone awakens hy it converts all your emotions and feelings to mana.Or maybe just pure power.More powerful your feelings are more powerful you become.Sometimes hy even absorbs others feelings to make you more powerful.It could possibly be the most powerful technique in the universe.More than a technique hy can be said as a kind energy itself.And yes it comes with a risk,If you overuse it you might lose your will.”Luna explained.

“I can’t use it yet.So your warning is kinda meaningless.”Leo asked.

“I know that.And I don’t think you can beat me even if you unlock your hy.”Luna said.

“I will beat you,and I don’t need hy for that.”Leo said.

“We will see.”Luna said as she rushed towards Leo with her sword.Thousands of clones popped out from her and surrounded Leo from all sides.They all attacked her at once.Leo used her teleport to dodge that attack.Most of Luna’s clones vanished from hitting each other.The rest of them flew up and tried to attack Leo.Leo used her own skip which clashed with Luna’s clones.After a few seconds only Leo and Luna was standing.Leo was now severely exhausted.She was breathing hard.She only had few mana left in her body.While Luna was still as fresh as new,due to her being an undead.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

“Why do you still keep going?If you were a normal hero you would have been dead by now.”Luna asked Leo.

“I am not a normal hero.I don’t want to be a normal hero.I don’t want to be someone who is powerless to save her own friends.I don’t wanna stand and just watch my friends die.I wanna become strong enough to stand against anyone who faces me,even if it is the god himself.I…I wanna be TearFire.”Leo said with determination full in her eyes.

“TearFire is not a title it is a name,Name of one who doesn’t care about anything but himself.What would you do getting that name.”Luna said.

“No,you are wrong.I don’t care if he doesn’t care about anything else.He cares about me.And teach too.And also Run too.Everybody looks up to him.I don’t care about anything else,I just wanna be a legend like him.”Leo said.

“It’s all just an illusion.He is just using you guys for something.He doesn’t care about you.”Luna said in a warning tone.

“Even if it is so ,then hy are you warning me.I am supposed to be your enemy.”Leo asked.

“So that you couldn’t do the mistake that I did.So that you don’t fall in love with him.”Luna said.

“It is too late for that.I have loved him since I remember meeting him,Maybe it was a love at first sight or maybe it wasn’t.But when I looked at myself,I found that I couldn’t live without him.He had became the world in which I belong.”Leo said touching her heart.

“Then it looks like I don’t have a choice but to kill you.Let’s see if he comes to your aid.”Luna said.She lifted her sword up in the air.The mana present on the air drew up to her sword.The entire earth began to shake due to the incredible mana gathering up on Luna’s sword.In the planet where Cain was he felt the mana gathering on Luna’s sword.Cain was simply standing on the ground and Dreven was now trapped in a huge red crystal with only his head out.

“Get me out of here.”Dreven screamed as he tried to get himself out of that crystal.

“Don’t even try.Even you can’t escape out of a dimensional rift made up of infinite dimensions.It will take forever for you to solve such a puzzle.”Cain said with a smile looking up in the sky.Down on the earth Luna was still gathering mana on her sword.It was now shining in bright white light.She closed her eyes and began a chant.

“You are the one who sees them all.You the one who feels them all.I am the one lives with you.I am the one who commands you.By the name of Empress Luna I command you,wind to heed my pray and help me kill my prey.”She finished the chant and opened her eyes.She lowered her sword pointing it towards Leo. “Conjure:Hunter Breeze”Luna screamed.A huge storm emerged from her sword and rushed towards Leo.Leo summoned inferns on her hands and passed it down on the sword making it to become pitch black.

“Skip.”She said as number of her clones emerged from her body and ran towards the storm approaching her.Clones used the sword to cut the storm.But it wasn’t stopping completely.Leo raised her pace of making clones.She was so fast that only thing one could see was black light emerging from her body and stopping the storm which was coming towards them.The storm coming from Luna got stronger every second and Leo’s clones were getting weaker.At last Leo had only a handful of clones in front of her who were keeping the storm on the bay.They vanished in front of Leo one by one.Leo was on her knees.

“It looks like I am a goner.”Leo said with a smile.Now only two clones were left.As she looked forward one of them vanished again.The only one left was barely keeping that storm on the bay.Leo was gripping her sword tightly.Pitch black inferns was now slowly withering from her sword making it shine with a golden sparkle.

“Sorry,Cain it looks like I can never be as strong as you.”Leo said as she closed her eyes.A scene from her past hit her mind in a flash.She was looking for Cain in the school.She found some older girls who studied with Cain in his class.

“We can take you to him if you want”One of them said.

“You will.Thank you.”Leo said to them.She was then following them.She was just a child of 11 years old.And those older girls were 14.They took her to a dead end of the street.

“Hey,I thought you guys were taking me to Cain.But all I can see is a dead end.”Leo said.One of those girls pushed Leo to the wall.

“What does a child like you want with our Cain?”She asked Leo.

“Isn’t she is the little girl I told you about?”Girl from behind said.

“The one who always hangs out with him.”Girl beside her asked her.

“Hmm.”She said.

“So she is the reason Cain doesn’t even looks at us.”Girl who pushed Leo said.

“Lemme go.I don’t know what you guys are talking about.”Leo said struggling to get away.

“How did you seduce him?With these unrealistically big boobs for a 11 year old?”She said pressing her chest.

“Stop it.It hurts.”Leo said in pain.

“Shut it you little…”Girl from behind said as she jumped in with a fist towards Leo’s face.Leo instinctively closed her eyes.But her fist never reached Leo.When Leo opened her eyes she saw Cain with that girl’s elbow caught.

“Get the hell away from her,if you don’t want to suffer.”Cain said with an angry face looking at her eyes.Those girls were scared to see Cain there.They ran away from there.Leo hugged Cain with watery eyes.Cain patted on her head.

“Why didn’t you fight back?”Cain asked in a comforting tone.

“But…But…They were too strong and too many…”Leo said still crying.Cain pushed Leo a little back.He grabbed her arms.

“Look Leo.It doesn’t matter how strong your enemy is.If you don’t give up,you will win.I know you will.After all you are Leo.So,fight back Leo.Fight back.”Cain said.Leo opened her eyes to see the clone still holding up somehow.She heard the voice of Cain saying her to fight back.A flash of Cain’s current appearance appeared in front of her.

“Fight back Leo.”He said.This made Leo fired up.Leo lifted up her sword.She used it as a support and got up on her knees.Cain stepped forward and leaned down until their foreheads touched before he disappeared.Her sword was now glowing with even brighter golden glow.

“Help me,Excalibur.I have to win.”She said looking at her sword.She suddenly knew how to fight her enemy.She turned towards Luna.The last clone vanished.The storm approached her.All Leo did was slash it.The storm disappeared.Luna was stunned to see that.

“T:Skip”Leo screamed as she rushed towards Luna.A stream of Golden light flowed towards Luna and next second the was frozen in time.And Leo sliced her into two with her sword.And Luna shattered into small white powder which flowed away on the passing breeze.
