Chapter 14
"Its You..."
The punch landed by the man pushed away the dark emperor
Dark Emperor regained his posture in a second
"Honestly, I m surprised Lisa, I didn't expect you to level up vondgeirr on your own"
"!! What do you mean by level up?"
Dark emperor laughed upon hearing Lisa's question
"This girl has been using what is worth more than a national treasure, and she doesn't even realize it" said the dark Emperor as he laughed
Lisa, couldn't understand what was going on, says in a baffled tone
"Worth more than a national treasure??"
"Oh my, she has no clue" he laughed
" your laugh is annoying "
"VonGeruzroa" as lugh said this word, vondgeirr flew out of Lisa's hand and impaled the dark emperor
"Gah"
"How??"
As The dark Emperor tried to remove it, his mana was absorbed by the magical sceptre
He coughs up blood after failing to remove the vondgeirr untill he was able to gather enough strength to remove it by force
Dark Emperor grabbed the wound as his breathing got heavy
The wound started to heal
"Vondgeirr, come to me"
The sceptre flew out of Emperor's hand into lughs hand
"Lugh help!"
Lugh turns around and sees that Lisa is trying to heal merlin, but, she has no more mana
"Heilz" spell casted by lugh created a much stronger circle below them which healed both of their injuries in a moment
A clapping sound was heard
" I'm impressed, you really live up to your reputation, supernova ace ranker of einvalla or should I say, Lugh RedHart"
Lugh's face tensed up as he glared him seriously
"Lisa, get yourself and merlin a cover because this will be ugly" lugh said as he walked towards the dark Emperor
He stops walking and glares in Emperor's eyes
In a second both of them vanished and appeared right in front of each other
As their swords clashed, a immense shock wave was produced
Both of them retracted their blades only to engage in a close range slashing combat
Every slash from lugh was reflected by the emperor and vice versa
The intensity of the battle increases as they roamed around the vault room continuing their battle
Speed of the sword clashes increased so much that their blades couldn't be seen by a naked eye
Breaking the ceiling they flew up towards the sky to continue their battle
Meanwhile
Merlin starts to regain consciousness in the vault room
"Merlin! Wake up!" Lisa said desperately
"Lisa? What's going on? where am I?"
Asked merlin who was still dizzy
"You were attacked by that bastard, but, you are healed up now"
"I can waguely remember "
Merlin then notices the sparks and flashes in the sky
"What is going on" she asks Lisa
"Lugh is fighting the dark Emperor "
Merlin eyes widened woth shock after hearing lisa
Dark Emperor a man she could never catch up to was being given a equal fight by a random guy
"You were right, Lisa, I should have believed you"
Merlin gazes up the sky to see flashes and embers caused by the sword clashes
.
.
"You are quite the formidable opponent, but, I think it's over now "
Said the emperor
"!!"
" im impressed, you were able to hold your own against me,but"
He traveled to right in front of lugh in the blink of an eye
"This is where it ends..."
He wrapped his dark mist around lugh like a whip, and started swinging him at unfathomable speed
Speed was so immense that a hurricane was formed
Merlin who was watching this from the broken vault room was hit with an realization
"No way!"
Merlin in a hurry released immense amount of mana which spreaded through out the einvalla region
Lisa was puzzled by Merlin's actions
"Merlin! Stop it, you just recovered!"
Said Lisa to merlin
"No I dont have time, if I dont do something then the whole Roinvalla city will perish"
Hearing this Lisa was shocked
"What do you mean?" Asked Lisa
"I have seen a weaker version of this move, he once used it against the fairy king, and in the end the whole fairy mountain was obilerated, leaving behind a crater"
"Are you serious.." asked Lisa
"If what you are saying is true, then what about lugh?"
"Lisa, forget about him, even though I owe him for saving my life. This is his end, the emperor is not holding back this time . The concept of this technique is to swing a opponent in a rotating motion to generate energy and slam them to the ground, and the result is destructive. Whole Roinvalla is floating in the sky right now, so, it's possible to move it so that he doesn't slam him in the city"
Merlin released all her mana and two giant hands made up of water were formed which pushed away the floating city,
"I've had fun lugh RedHart but this is where it ends.."
" ! PIERCERAS CRASH ! "
DARK EMPEROR slams lugh in the ground, which bore a catastrophic explosion destroying everything below
The Shockwave created from the collision was massive
Lisa and merlin couldn't see the damage, but they could hear the noise and fell the Shockwave
Lisa was terrified and worried
"Even i didn't expect such damage,.this is too much! Dark Emperor, why did you do that! he was just a student!!"
Merlin screams at the dark Emperor
"Just a student? Yeah right, he left me no other choice, and why are you so worried, only a single man died, you saved the rest didn't you...."
Dark emperor stops as he heard something
Merlin also heard it and asked Lisa if she can hear it too, Lisa was confused
"Lisa, its like someone is laughing, try to listen closely"
Lisa then focuses on the sound
"you are right, seems like. A laugh but,t his voice..."
Dark Emperor realizing that something is wrong went towards the site of crash
Lisa and merlin followed him off the floating city
He looks at the destroyed ground and see a silhouette in the dust smoke
"No way..."
Lisa and merlin stops and sees the silhouette
Both of their eyes widened seing the catastrophic damage and the silhouette standing right in the middle of it
Suddenly the dark Emperor was trapped in a magic circle which was formed out of no where
He tried to get free but, No matter how much he struggled he couldn't free himself from this magic circle
"You really live up to your reputation dark Emperor, I'm impressed"
Smoke cleared up and lugh stood there with his body covered in injuries
"Unfortunately it wasn't enough to kill me"
Both Merlin and Lisa were relieved but also confused
( HOW did he survive the pierceras crash? )
"You did your strongest attack,.now its my turn" said lugh with a scary smile
A magic circle formed instantly in front of the emperor
( this quick?!)
Another circle instantly formed on his left side, one more was formed on right side and one was formed behind the dark Emperor
Lugh lifted him up to the sky with the circles following him
Both Lisa and merlin were looking at this completely speechless
Lugh held out his hand towards the dark Emperor
" I cast the.."
"Nelumbo Ignis"
An immensely powerful explosion was set off creating a Shockwave that pushed away the floating Roinvalla
An explosion so massive that it was completely visible from way above the sky,
this explosion was so immense that It was visible from a far
Merlin was terrified upon witnessing this disastrous scene
Many people in the area witnessed this with fear being clearly visible on their faces
This explosion which took the shape of a beautifull fiery red lotus threw her in awe...
