Chapter 63 - Chapter 1 [Hope Anew] (Page 57)

Emerald supported him by sending a few arrows towards him while Ruby threw a few throwing knives. A smirk settled across Ghost's face as they opened their arms as if to welcome the attacks. A pair of eyes were looking at Grusk and the incoming attacks while the rest were evenly split between Skrull and Sabre keeping the two of them at bay much to their frustration.

All of the hits landed, the arrow and knives just bounced off on contact leaving not even the slightest scratch. Ghost allowed Grusk's overhead to strike it directly on the head but the axe just bounced back again with no harm done to it. A smile creeped across its face as suddenly it melted away as if it suddenly became a liquid substance. Star's magic only closed over empty space as a shadow quickly moved behind Grusk before Ghost popped out from it.

"Now you hold still" it said, bringing up a sword held in one of its many hands to strike Grusk down. Although before it could bring down it quickly took a few steps back barely dodging a shockwave sent from Sabre's blade. It clicked its tongue out of annoyance "If you want to play this game… then so be it" Ghost said, taking up a frontal stance towards Skrull and Sabre.

With a flick of its wrist Ghost sent multiple shockwaves flying at the two but with each swing it would be able to send three separate shockwaves. The two quickly dove out of the way while sending shockwaves back at it which Ghost would counter. Seeing her spell getting bypassed that easily Star started chanting up another spell. The rest of us assisted where we could attack its back which was facing us. Although it seemed that we could not hurt it as its body was too tough as our attacks just bounced off leaving it unscatched.

Star finished her chant and this time a red magic circle signifying fire magic flared up under Ghost. Seeing this we quickly moved aside, once we were out of the circle a column of flames erupted from the circle. Although it was powerful it only lasted a while as Star collapsed from the exertion of using so much of her mana.

Emerging from the flames Ghost turned its head, locking its eyes onto Star as its body was slightly burnt at parts. Although the injuries quickly meanded itself, Star froze up at its glare, fear showing in her eyes.

Although before Ghost could do anything Sabre and Skrull were bringing their weapons down on them. It broke eye contact with Star who flopped onto the ground and returned its focus to the two of them.

Although this time Ghost cut its engagement with Skrull and Sabre short as it leaped into the air. From its back 2 pairs of black wings that were tattered yet they still were able to give lift off to Ghost. "I have enjoyed this hunt but it is time for the curtains to fall." it said lifting its arms out as the weapons in its hand changed. The shadow moulding the weapon it held into a different form. Its halberd remained the same but Ghost was now additionally armed with a spear, a bladed sceptre and a Naginata.
