Chapter 21 - Battle field

The iron smell of blood and smoke-filled Clesti's senses as she grained her teeth in frustration. She hated this smell.

She hated the war.

All those lost souls.

Hearing the sound of a roaring shadow demon charging from behind altered her senses. With Narrowed eyes she looked over her shoulder. Bringing one hand over her sword she brought out white frost. With a cry she slashed through the air. The mana force that came off it created a white frost energy to slash right through the shadow.

Breathing heavily she struck the sword into the ground using the sword for support. Sweat clung to her forehead as she grew slightly tired of her over use of her core mana.

Across the field in a distance Sirius looked over at his younger sister with a look of worry. Blood staining from the cut on the side of his cheek.

"Sirius!We have to seal the three pillars." Rigel shouted out his eyes filling with a raging fustration as he slashed through another shadow knight.

With narrowed eyes Sirius gazed through the battle field. The blood spilling through the field. These lands would grow cursed after this battle field. Life would not be able to grow. His hand grip tightened over his sword shaking slightly.

"Celesti!" He shouted out, turning she stared into his eyes silently receiving the message passing through their eyes before nodding.

Taking in a deep breath focused to calm her pulsing core. Feeling the energy flow through her body. A burning feeling in her chest. Letting out a breath she opened her eyes narrowing focusing her energy on her sword. With a cry she brought it down on the ground. Letting her core energy pulse down like a river into the soil ground. At the same time her brothers had down the same. Light pouring through the grounds spreading across. Screeches were hears as the shadows burned off to a crisp from the light. The crest of their marking began appearing in the ground bellow the siblings. Their eyes closed as they focused their energy to finish off the pillars.

Before Celesti could seal the seal with her own blood. Her eyes widen as she jumped back. A dark core energy blasted in her direction. Avoiding it just barely a small strand of her hair was cut falling on the ground.

Turning her eyes filled with rage as she noticed the lone figure standing along the battle. His aura frightening, slashing wildly like black flames. So frightening no one seemed to dare to grown near. His long silver hair stood out against his black armor.

His vibrant gold eyes stared back at her despite the long distance between them. Gleaming with a sense of amusement. As if he had seen a favorite toy placed right in front of him.

Celesti's body shook in rage, her own mana began trashing around like an angry flame.

Battling from a distance Sirius suddenly felt an uneasy feeling. His eyes widening as he turned his eyes catching sight of his sister. His eyes widen even more when he saw the rage filling her eyes. Her pure frost aura tainting only the slightest. So small that she herself would not notice but himself.

"Celesti!" He screamed out as he followed her gaze. His heart filling with a sense of worry. Standing in his spot in the pillar he was unable to move. Thorn veins came off the seal below him to finish off the seal with his own blood. If he moved in this instant the pillar would break, tampering with the other two pillars. They only had one chance to do this. They couldn't efford breaking the seals.

Worried he gazed at his sister who didn't seem to have heard him. Rage filling her heart. Her aura shifting like a wild flame tainting black as she stared at the smirking figure in front of her. In her rage her vision turned red as she rushed forward with her sword.

"Zess, you traitor!"
