Title: Tanya Vs Luminous

A flash of violet light blew past her right side, then another one came from her rear, and the next one attack her left side again.

She dodge the one on the left, and the one on the right, but the one that had attack her from behind had struck its mark, which blasted her to the other end of the hallway and crash into the wall.

Boom!

When she fell into the rubble of the collapse wall, steam rose from her back as she felt a terrible burning sensation from her back.

(Damn, what the hell kind of attack is that?!) she scream in head.

(From the way it was deployed, it is like a beam of light, I would guess that it should be light manipulation of some sort.) Silver answer in head.

As she got up from the rubble of the broken wall, she immediately dodge the next beam of light that had just attack her location. And she try to close in on the stupid priest for close range combat, but do to his rapid attacks that shot at her like that of a thousand laser beams she had to dodge and move away from him. Which made her more at a disadvantage because this would allow her opponent to keep firing at her from a distance and does not have to get close to fight her.

However, that is not the only problem, because her opponents attacks are omni-directional and can attack her with that violet laser beam from all sides, which made dodging quite strenuous even for her. However her body can withstand such attacks even if it did hit her. But if she begins to accumulate damage, then even she would be hurt quite badly. Though she could make a wish to heal herself, it would not be a good idea, because the more wish she makes the higher the cost it is for her to make another one. As she is right now with a limited number of souls in her body, she can't just use her wish on only healing herself from damage, because what if she needs to make a important wish at the same date, only to find out that she lacks the souls to do so?

So she needs to conserve the souls that are on her for emergency uses only, and not wasted on stupid things.

She then dodge another laser beam that this priest had shot at her and grab a piece of rock from the rubble of the destroyed school wall and threw it as hard as she could to the face of the priest that is shooting at her non-stop with laser beams.

BOOM!

The moment that the piece of rock was launch from her hands, it created multiple sonic boom in an instant and flew to the priest face at Mach speed.

Shatter!

However to her surprise, the priest did not even flinch from her attack and only use one hand that shone like the sun to destroy it in the exact moment that the rock had came in contact with his hand. Then from his hand, he fired a violet color energy beam at her in the next moment.

Her face show a cold sweat, the moment that she had saw that violet energy beam coming at her and felt that she would be in great trouble if it had hit her. So she immediately dodge by bending her back as the beam flew just above her head and destroyed the entire ceiling above her and left a large hole in its place.

“Tch!” the priest click his tongue in annoyance, as if he saw how she had just avoided one of his most powerful attacks.

She then immediately rush at him as he had finally stop firing those annoying laser beam at her for once. But this was a mistake on her part.

As she was only about an inch away from him, his entire body burst with light that it blinded her for a moment and sent her flying like she had just been blasted by a thousand laser beam. However, she only suffer minor injuries, because that light burst was not very powerful and had only been strong enough to send her flying.

Then the priest open his mouth and began to chant in front of her.

“Light that will bring glory,

Annihilate the darkness that is before me,

Show this world the endless glory of your light,

Scepter that was once held by god,

bring down this heathen that is before me,

Come before me my soul weapon!

I, Luminous De Luci, call for thee!!”

After he said that his hand burst out a greater brilliance then ever before and then a Scepter of pure white has appear in his hand. It glowed with a divine aura and then he pointed this scepter at her and said.

“Ability Activate: Light Absorption!” he said with a husky voice, belonging to a man of old age, but the effects immediately surprise her.

Darkness!

(What the HELL?!?!) She suddenly lost her vision, not due to her being unconscious, but because she had just lost her vision while she is still conscious and cannot see anything right now.

Then she heard the priest voice again, but this time she felt something dangerous coming from him instead.

“Ability Activate: Light Release!” when she heard him say that, she suddenly felt a massive threat in front of her.

She immediately leap to the left in order to avoid it, and broke though the windows that were there so she could get out of the school building.

Boom!

From the place that she had just avoided, it immediately was destroyed by a huge energy beam and the massive shockwave sent her flying across sky and out of the school gates. Her uniform was already in tatters and expose parts of her skins that should not be shown to others, but her Draconic scale cover those area from others view and there is not a person there to witness her indecent appearance anyway so it did not matter to her. So she got up with pain racing all over her body and she felt a little dizzy from being blasted out of the school premise by that shock wave and from losing her vision for that several moment.

“Damn... just what the hell was that?” she said as she begins to try to heal herself with Dragon Ki and hid above the tree branches.

(Hmm.... that was his soul weapon if I heard his chant correctly, those ability must be from using his Soul Weapon. So he must be an X-User that was sent to kill us.) Silver then told her the speculation that she had made, from the evidence that she had witness at hand.

“But how did they know where I am already?!” she then ask back in surprise, because from her knowledge, they should had not known where she is before a week had pass and her name being updated on the ranking list of X-Users.

(They probably knew because of that shadow....) Silver then said a possibly that she did not consider before.

Yes! It must be because of that shadow, since there should have been no way that they could have found her location so quickly, since she had also made a wish yesterday of making her location undetectable by other powers. But if it is that shadow then it could only mean one thing.

She needs to hurry and defeat this damn priest quickly or else..... Len is in great danger.....

(Priest P.O.V)

Annoying!! Annoying!!! Annoying!!!!

Why couldn't she had just died from my first attack!? Why do she want to suffer like this?!? she should have just follow the light that I had given her and gone to heaven and be at peace with god. So why does she continue to resist me for trying to send her to paradise!?!

She have to died to today! She must die today! She will died today!! by my hands or by them. So she should just obediently died in my hands, why does she not?! Why does she not?!! Why does she not?!!

Even though she is just a little girl, she is a sinner, I can smell it from her body. She may smell more sweetly then any flower, but hiding beneath that sweetness is pure malice. That I had to erase from her even if I need to kill her. So why does she not repent for her action to me, an apostle of god? Why does she come at me with the intention to kill? Why does she not allow me to bring her to salvation?

I had been order by that horrible demon to kill her, I hated to follow that demons and his master more then anything in this world. But I must follow them as per it is gods will for me losing against them in battle and failing to uphold god justice and light that he had bestow upon me. So this is my redemption and hellish duty that I must complete. If not the children of the orphanage would be harm and have to suffer under their hands. So I must complete my duty even if it is against god teaching, I must endure for the sake of those children that I had raise. I am sure that god would forgive me even if I had to commit to sinning like that of a demon for them.

So I had to take away this child life without mercy and not let her suffer under their hands. Stain her blood in mind, so she could be sent to god and be at peace in heaven with him in glory.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Her looks are like that of a beautiful golden flower that is tainted in crimson blood. She needs to repent for her sins or else she will have to go to hell and have to suffer in eternal damnation with Satan. I do not wish for her to suffer, so I must kill her here and now. For it is the right thing to do and to help her obtain salvation with the glory that god has bestow upon me. So I must kill her no matter what today and grant her salvation.

However, she was stronger then I though she was. Although before I judge that from her appearance that she was just a weak little girl from afar at the top of a building. She was not weak at all, her body is also abnormal because I repeatedly sent beams of lights to kill her, however she avoided most of them and those that did manage to hit her, only burn away her clothing and underneath her clothing was golden scales like that of those evil serpents.

Oh! How she had sin to this degree. She must be kill at all cost, and must suffer in the flames of purgatory for making a deal with the devils to gain power that opposes the light of god. In order for her to redeem herself and be brought to god once more for judgment. Yes it is the duty of this apostle to fulfill this duty and be her executioner.

So I brought out the holy object that god has given me to destroy the evil of this world.

The Scepter of light.

The Soul Weapon that I was bestow from god himself shall be use to bring her soul to glory.

This Holy Weapon allows me to gather all the light emitted from the surrounding and release from a single point to bring those who witness it and bathe them in the light of glory.

However the moment that I had fire it, she had broke through window and leap out of the school building and was blown away by the shockwave created by the glorious light that erase all those who are impure.

Why does she keep avoiding it, why does she not just accept her fate, does she think that she could defeat me? An apostle of god? So why does she still resist? Why does she not just give in?

As I was just about to beam towards her like a shooting star falling from the sky, my X-Phone started to vibrate.

“What is it Chronos? I am busy on this end. So what is it?” he ask impatiently, because he does not want her to run away immediately, while he is distracted.

“Luminous is your side not done yet? Because I had already finish on my end and had capture the Target that the boss had instructed me to capture.” from the other end of the X-Phone, his partner Chronos told that he was already done with his duty. Yet he still had not finish his task, so this made him feel ashame at his own ability as one of god apostles.

“No, the target prove to be more resilient then I thought she will be. So it will take a while...” he said quietly, but feel a burning flame of annoyance of not being able to complete his duty yet.

“Well, that is to be expected from her I guess, since she is an S-Class X-User, that had just recently obtain her wish, so defeating her should be somewhat difficult with just you alone, even with your abilities. But we should be thankful for her to be an S-Class X-User, because if she was not, then she could not create a [War Zone] and it would lead us to attack her openly in the normal world, and that would lead to a massive causalities of normals and make the existence of X-User to be more widely known across the world. Which is not great since we will also get excused for doing so.” the other side of the phone said nonchalantly.

“...” I nodded to his words because if she was just a normal human or was just a A-Class X-User like them then, then they would be risking the lives of everyone around them in their battle and attract unwanted attention from all around the globe.

All S-Class X-User and above posses a special ability that only they have and that is call [War Zone] which allows them to created a large field that they can battle without holding back due to their power being so overwhelming that it would damage the world. In this Zone no one, but X-User and other similar supernatural being can exist. So their would never be a normal human causality when a S-Class was to fight each other, but it was different for those that are below S-Class. Since they can't create this Zone at all. Which means that they will have to fight in the normal world and that would usually end up in a massacre of normal civilian that is within the vicinity of their fight.

So it was not false that he felt thankful for her to be an S-Class and weaker then him at the moment. So he could crush this blossom of disaster before it could bloom and bring upon a calamity for others to deal with.

“Well, I should complete my duty now—Eh?” when I was about to hang up my call to Chronos. I suddenly was felt a tap on my back.

“Dragon Slayer Art- First Form: Dragonic Nova Fist!!” when I turn to look behind my back, she was standing there to his surprise and that is not all. Her fist glow like the sun and struck my back before I was given enough time to recover from my earlier surprise of finding her behind me. But it was too late.

Boom!

My old back felt like a meteor had just struck it at full force and sent me flying away into the sky.

Only until the energy of that punch from her has disappear had I found myself being bury deep into the earth and molten magma surrounded me from crashing so hard into the ground and borrow though it with my body.

My chest had a large hole made from her punch and this would have kill me if my wish to god had not been active the entire time.

My chest did not bleed nor did I felt pain from that attack. I was only surprise by the power that she had struck me with and that it had enough strength to send me flying from the sky to deep underground in the middle of nowhere.

It made me feel shame and my honor being tainted by her for defeating me like this. So I got up and plan to get my retribution on her. But to my surprise, my X-Phone vibrated again.

“Yes, what is it Chronos?!” he ask back annoyed because he was annoy by his failure at the current moment.

“We had been ordered to return to headquarters by the boss.” he said on the other end.

“What?! I still had not completed my mission yet and my honor has been stain by her, how could I just go back now?!!” I scream back in a rage by hearing that he had to retreat now, but his mission is still not complete yet, while that girl has not perish as well and was not brought to salvation by him. So how could he just leave?

“Not my problem, but the boss had asked of us to return immediately, so you can deal with her another time. So just hurry back to headquarters now.” once Chronos had said that to me, I can only resentfully look at the direction of where he was sent flying from and made a helpless face.

“I will bring you to salvation, I promise.” after he said that, he close the hole in his chest and transform into a beam of light that fly across the sky to Italy once more.

(Tanya P.O.V)

After she sent that retard priest flying into the sky. She rush to the hospital that Len was in at full speed and without care about the injuries that is wreaking her body in pain.

She jump from building to building like that of super nimble feline and when she arrive near the hospital entrance. She saw many police car that is station there at the entrance, and paramedic sirens that wail loudly in her ears.

She also witness multiple bodies inside of bags. However she did not care about this, even though she knew that something was wrong and was surprise by what had happen. The only thing that truly matters to her was her little brother that was her only family member that she knew that was alive.

(No... No... Please let this not be true....) she immediately rush to the medical room that Len was staying in like a gale that is breezing through the hospital halls at full speed. But the more she saw of what is inside of the halls, the more shock and anxious she became, because she could only see blood that painted and dye the wall in a dark red color.

Bodies that seem to belong to patients and staff lying near the walls or on the floor lifeless in a pool of their own blood. These scene only made her nervousness and terrible premonition reach its breaking point.

When she arrive at the medical room of where Len was staying in.

She only witnessed....... blood being smeared everywhere and body parts are in every location... the walls, the floors, the curtains, the bed.... everywhere.... inside of Len room....
