Chapter 3 - Ch. 3: the true extent of manna

The generals sword transforms into a sickle shaped weapon

"you shall know true terror!" the general shouts.

"fool" Abena replies

The general gets furious at Abena's insult, and swings his sword towards Abena, launching an array of slashes at her, she jumps to evade the attack but gets slashed on the leg. Meanwhile the soldiers behing the general start running for their life at the sight of the generals attacks. "You dumb fucks! Capture Ezra, what the fuck are you doing!" the general shouts at the top of his lungs, but the soldiers are already too far away to hear him. Abena just now falls to the ground tumbling down closer to the lake waters she then begins laughing.

"those idiots work for you?"

"yes, now shut it!" the general yells furiously "are you here to fight or chat? Your life is wasted here, you should give up and let me take Ezra"

"no, i won't, i'm still arogant enough to fight, i'll try my best to kill you" as she says that, a figure apears behing the general he attacks and decapitates the figure, and as he looks at the figure Abena is right behing him

"catena!" she yells and giant chains come from the trees and ground but the general evades them

"thats an attack spell, no? I thought you were just a doctor."

"i am, but i'm still master spellcaster, after all, i trained dirrectly under the previous grandmaster" Abena smiles

"but i'm getting bored, so lets end this" she says

"one with the ground, one with the sky, as the rain falls, but amidst all i can still hear the angels' cries"

"wait, no, thats a... I can't let her use that!" the general screams in terror, the doctor continues

"domain: heavenly conviction"

"no!!!" the general cries in fear, as the ground breaks and the sky turns black, he seems to have been teleported to Abena's domain, the domain inside her soul. But as dark smoke around him clears it looks like he is standing on an endless see of clouds with a clear blue sky above him, and in front of him is Abena, sitting on the see of clouds with her legs crossed, she suddenly stands up and and dashes at him with insane speed punching him in the chest leaving a gaping hole where his heart used to be. The domain dissapears and the general's cold body falls to the ground, it begins raining on the field where they fought.

all this time Ezra has been quietly watching the fight through a window, and he thinks to himself:

"what the hell was that? They just dissapeared in the middle of the fight, i need to learn more of this" as he thinks that he runs out of the house as fast as he can.

"what was that?" he asks Abena and she replies,

"a domain, i'll teach you about it, though we should go inside now, we don't wanna get wet by rain" Ezra nods and runs in to the house holding Abena by hand.

The door opens and two guards, clearly terrified, walk in.

They bring the news to the grandmaster

"general ardak has been killed, though his body wasn't retreaved."

The grandmaster smirks "good, just as planned." he then releases a blast of energy that insinirates the two guards

"too bad you won't live long enough to see the plan unfold" he says, continuing his sentence from before.

the grandmaster calls in a few soldiers and asks them to bring the principles, they comply and the ten principles apear in the room in the blink of an eye "you called?" says one of them.

"yes, as a matter of fact. I need you to do something for me"

The principles look up in confusion the grandmaster continues,

"i need you to kill the doctor, she has been sighted holding Ezra in her home, all who manage to kill her will be promoted, anybody who wishes to complete the task?" a principle lifts her hand "i do, sir".

"excelent" says the grandmaster "it'd be best if you go now, time is of the essence." she nods and dissapears from the room along with the other principles.
