Chapter 22 - Mana

" As you said that day," She looked at the beam," Fuck the destiny!" A lightning bolt covered her and blasted behind her on the ground to propel her to dodge the beam.

But the speed of the beam was enough to hurt her. She dodged to the left and came to a fighting stance. She tried to lift her right hand forward, but her hand didn't respond. 

She looked down, tilted right to see blood splattered everywhere, with her hand and a bit of her chest missing. As she felt horrified, she realized that she had lost her right arm.

With the sudden realization, she coughed up blood. She kneeled on the ground as she started to feel dizzy.

" KYRA!" Gunther shouted," Are you gonna give up like this? That's a really pathetic way of dying while you are awake."

" Look closely," He said while holding his sword in his left hand. He lifted his right arm and lifted his sword.

A slash was enough to cut his hand, blood splattered everywhere, ground, on Gunther's face. 

" *sigh* felt this pain many times at this point." A red aura covered his injured part. The aura dissipated and then came back and formed a prototype of his arm.

A layer of bones covered the aura, then muscles, nerves, and vessels covered the bones to form the new layer of skin and create a fresh new arm with a hand.

" Can't you do it?" Asked Gunther, Kyra, who still had blurry vision but still kept herself alive.

She was in a state of shock after seeing regeneration. 

" Ahh, so you are awakened but have no clue about your powers. Well, let me explain," He looked at Kyra," Don't die on me, I don't wanna kill a young person who still didn't accomplish their dreams." 

He widened his eyes and proceeded," The energy which drives us all is called Mana, it is present in all the living beings, but just can't be controlled until an awakening. Awakening occurs when Mana mixes with Adrenaline in the presence of a negligible amount of Serotonin."

" There are two types of Mana in a Human, 'Human Mana', which is red in color and can be used to heal yourself, then comes 'Natures Mana', which can be any color, but it cannot be used to heal; it is a type of Mana which is present in nature and is periodically absorbed by a human. "Now," He shouted," Use your human mana to heal yourself immediately!"

" Huh," Kyra thought in her mind," He expects me to learn how to control that shit immediately? How big of a dumbass is he?" She closed her eyes," Huh," She saw a figure standing in front of her in a dark place. It turned back to be a lady or to say Shinsetsu. Kyra's eyes widened," Thank you!" She exclaimed as her right arm grew back the same way.

Gunther's eyes widened," A prodigy?" He thought in his mind," The potential..." He was stopped by the vision he saw.

A huge figure behind Kyra. Completely black in color, with red eyes. The presence itself was demonic, enough to scare even a person like Gunther.

Kyra stood up, her thighs and legs wide apart, shivering. Her arms and hands were waving like her nerves had no control. 

Gunther looked closely as he saw the demon behind Kyra traveling inside Kyra. Gunther was scared enough until Kyra looked up with red eyes and a demonic presence. 

A weird red aura covered her; it was a special type of mana." What the... WHAT IS THIS?" Gunther thought in his mind while being in complete shock.

Everything calmed down, and the ground stopped shaking. Gunther asked," Who the hell are you? You are not Kyra, are you?"

Kyra exhaled, with a calm and terrifying tone," Your name is Gunther, isn't it. You hurt my daughter, that's not fair." Gunther opened his right palm. His sword came back to him. Gunther held it with his right hand. 

" You are a Setsu, aren't you?" Asked Gunther with a troubled look on his face. Kyra, in someone else's possession, replied," Good guess, yeah, my name is Shinsu Setsu, only a few people know that. The rest of the people call me Shinsetsu, even my husband. Oh yeah, you know my husband, don't you?"

Gunther's eyes widened," Wait!" He grunted," Your husband is Indhra, isn't he?"

Shinsetsu chuckled," Well, I guess I am getting a chance to avenge my clan!" 

********

" Huh!" Indhra looked back to see Shido stunned," What the hell!" 

He then thought in his mind," This mana, is this Shinsu?" He looked at Indhra and Aldred," Hey, you guys follow me, I guess someone needs help!" He turned back and started to run towards the Mana traces. 

" Huh, what do you mean by follow you? Here I am trying to search Kyra..." Indhra stopped Aldred," Aldred! I think I sense Kyra at the same place, trust me, we have to hurry!"

Aldred sighed," Fine, whatever!"

******** 

The red aura faded with a shockwave felt across the castle. Gunther came to his fighting stance, ready to defend himself from Shinsetsu.

She started to run towards him, but it was a bait. She quickly disappeared and appeared behind Gunther. 

Gunther's face turned back, his eyes full of determination. Shinsetsu's right hand was covered with lightning as she was above the ground. 

She used her right hand to attack just before she fell on the ground. Gunther used his sword to block the lightning hand that was attacking him," Lightning mana, that's Kyra's, it can pierce through my skin!"

Shinsetsu's left hand also got covered in lightning, and she quickly extended her fingers and attacked Gunther's stomach. Gunther quickly used his sword to block the attack, but then Shinsetsu used her right hand to attack while Gunther was busy defending.

Gunther had no other defense option, so he used his only option. A portal opened beside him, and from inside, a pair of Tonfas came out, arriving exactly at Gunther's left hand. Gunther used it to block the attack with a blast of human mana coming out. The force of Shinsetsu's attack caused him to fall back on the ground with a few bounces. He quickly handled his body and stood up with his weapons in each of his hands, with a stance.

Shinsetsu looked at the weapon and immediatly recognised. The Tonfas looked different from usual; the edges were sharp with a tint of a potion on them. They were golden in color but had many small to large stripes of red in the middle.

" Leeches, how did you even find the strongest Tonfas created in the universe?" Asked Shinsetsu with a troubled look.

" Well, technically, they found me," Gunther replied calmly. 

Shinsetsu glared at it while thinking," Ahh, shit, this guy is... a God Armor, does he realize that? Kyra picked a fight with the wrong person. I wonder what his heavenly restriction is?"

Gunther's eyes widened as he asked," I guess you realized I am a God Armor, only a few people know, not even Akuma. Vorbei didn't affect my family the slightest. Oh yeah, you probably are wondering about my heavenly restriction, aren't you? It's that I don't have any nature mana." Shinsetsu's eyes widened," Only, Human mana!"
