Chereads / Let There Be Darkness Within Light / Chapter 7 - Who's Mary?

Chapter 7 - Who's Mary?

Tier 7 fusion magic takes a huge toll on both Sophia and Nicholas. It was like a vacuum that suck their mana dry. Furthermore, they can't move from their position and can only control their summon.

Tier 7 fusion magic required more mana than a normal Tier 7 magic attribute as it was originally two different magic of Tier 6.

Their fusion magic can only last for less than 10 minutes before they ran out of mana even with mana potion. So, without further ado, they controlled the summon.

*swish*

They were a hundred meters away from King Andres and King Beltran but their summon arrives in less than 2 seconds.

The avatar raised one hand over its head and grab something in the air before it summoned a crimson great sword and swung it down.

With the current tier of Voracious War God, It can only summon one magic item. It was called the Belleza, the beauty, one of four swords of the Berserk collection.

King Beltran, as a king and war commander, has years of experience on the battlefield!

He raise his hand a little over his head and controlled the Metal God's Armor to turn into a shield. It was an instant transformation!

*boom!*

The ground sank 5 meters at the impact!

King Beltran's surroundings sank but his platform stayed unmoved. He sank 10 inches to the ground. But that was not what shock him, he was shocked at the power of the avatar showed!

You must know that he was at the peak of Tier 6 magia and he has a Tier 7 magic item!

Unfortunately, he can't break through to Tier 7 as the resources of this continent are too low for him. But with the inheritance of the sage-level magia, he can finally get to Emperor-level magia!

He once again controlled the Metal God Armor into War hammer this time. It was also his main weapon.

He swung it right with both hands even though it's a heavy weapon but with the right technique, it can be swung swiftly.

The summon can't even react at the speed which made it roll 20 meters from him.

King Beltran takes a stance to run to give another blow to the avatar with momentum.

*swish*

The platform he was standing on earlier was turned into dust.

Dust was seen everywhere he ran into.

He lifted the war hammer over his head and swing it down violently at the avatar.

But this time, the avatar was prepared. It dodges using its greatsword as support to jump

*Boom!*

Voracious War God took this chance and rotated 180 degrees while holding the hilt to kick the sides of King Beltran but King Beltran jump immediately which made Voracious War God kick the ground.

*Boom!*

The ground sank. Even though it hit nothing, the power within the kick was enough to kill any Tier 5 magia

Voracious War God sensed that King Beltran was in mid-air. It takes a stance to jump.

*Swoosh*

Then their battle begins in the sky!

Only shadows on the ground were seen as the speed they fight was like instant teleport!

*Consecutive explosion*

As the shockwave of each blow kept going, the dust began to envelop them and obscure the scene to their surroundings.

Sophia and Nathan shared the same sense of Voracious War God and the dust was nothing to them.

Their battle was heard by all soldiers which made them temporarily stop and look over the fight in the sky. But some take this chance to kill their opponent.

Even though many of them did not see what was happening in the sky but the shockwave it gave was enough for them to feel the power of the battle!

King Beltran sometimes takes attempts to move at the position of Sophia and Nicholas. But was prevented by Voracious War God.

Their battle last for 5 minutes in mid-air before they landed on the ground.

Their bodies both had injuries.

The Voracious War God has his one-hand cut. King Beltran bleed a lot on his shoulder and was immobile currently.

He takes this chance to drink a healing potion but it only helps him decrease the blood loss.

Sophia and Nicholas also take this chance to drink their last mana potion which was also the highest grade! a Tier 6 mana potion!

Once again their battle begins!

This time King Beltran tried to take advantage of unconscious King Andres. He will use him as a hostage!

"Give up! or I will kill your king!" he loudly said.

The Voracious War God who was about to run did not say anything and stand there stiffly.

Because of the shout of King Beltran, the originally unconscious King Andres wakes up.

"Don't stoop so low, Tenzo!" he shouted raspily.

"It's not stooping, my old friend. It was cleverness!" Tenzo said.

"I will do anything to get my inheritance!" he declared.

"This is not you Tenzo! You were being devoured by your desire for power!"

"It's not power what I want, Andres! It was freedom! Those monsters in the sea outside the Rikas continent were preventing me from that! but I can finally defeat them once I got the inheritance!" Tenzo retorted.

"We can join hands! If we both plan to take action together there will be a greater chance to defeat the Kraken!" Andres said.

"Don't try to negotiate with me, Andres. If not for Mary to beg me for your life, I will kill you as soon as I see you!" Tenzo said.

"Mary, beg for my life?" Andres was confused.

Andres, Tenzo, and Mary were still students at the time they meet. The three of them were in a different school.

There were only four schools to attend at Rikas Continent while there were some schools in the continent but they were not as famous as the four schools which were independent to any's power.

Bear paw in the north. Blaze Eagle in the east. Wind Gale in the west. Magic Tower in the south.

Andres attends Blaze Eagle, Tenzo attends Bear paw, and Mary was a genius in Magic Tower.

They met at their four-school exchange study.

It was the time when their school have an exchange study and will last for about 2 months. Three students were grouped at a time under their instructor.

Andres, Tenzo, and Mary were coincidentally grouped.

Mary had met Andres before the exchange. It was Andres who save him from the bullying of other students of Magic Tower as they insult her as she was a commoner. So, they were not too new to each other and got along well.

Tenzo fell in love at first sight with Mary even though he already knew she was a commoner while he is the crown prince of Beltran Kingdom.

Andres, Tenzo, and Mary got along pretty well as time passed. Not until the end of the exchange did Tenzo express his feelings to Mary but was utterly rejected. It was fine for him to get rejected as he have time to court her but he didn't expect that Mary said she already love someone else and it was Andres!

He planned to assassinate Andres that night but was discovered by Mary and beg him to not kill Andres.

The exchange study ends peacefully. That was also their last meeting as Mary ventured to another continent! Andres didn't know the confession and Mary's liking to him.

~Present~

"...I didn't know..." Andres said softly. Mary's departure was always been a mystery to him. They have spark but was not enough to lit up the candle.

"Of course, you didn't! You have been always that ignorant, Andres!" Tenzo once again insulted Andres.

But suddenly Andres on his hand vanished unexpectedly!

Prime Minister got the message from Sophia and Nicholas that the King was taken as a hostage. He prepared his teleportation magic again while both Kings were divulged at their conversation.

He can only hide in his personal space and receive a message from the king. The moment he comes down will also be his downfall as his face and attribute were known to the whole continent. Magias tier higher than 3 was enough to kill him!

Slowly the 10 minutes duration of fusion magic was near its end.

The moment King Andres teleports the couple immediately controls their summon into the battle stunt.

*swish*

Voracious War God swing it's a greatsword in an ark that left a crimson sword trail.

King Beltran flew but was able to stand up quickly.

*spew*

"Do you think I don't know? Your magic was about to run out!" King Beltran said after he spat out blood. He deliberately took Andres as a hostage to let them consume their whole mana reserve.

It was 5 seconds left until their mana run out. They can only continue to fight until their mana reserve run out.

5 seconds remaining

Voracious War God activated its trump card! The original mouth tattoo on its stomach slowly turned into a real mouth. It was a human mouth but extremely dirty. It was horrifying!

4 seconds remaining

King Beltran suddenly felt a powerful power coming from the mouth. His battle instinct tells him to run!

3 seconds remaining

2 seconds remaining

The void mouth was finally complete!

A black hole was formed in the center of the mouth the moment it got completed. It was small in size but has an absolute powerful suction power!

1 second remaining

It flew in the direction of King Beltran. It sucks everything around 60 meters in radius on its way.

King Beltran wanted to move but the suction power was too powerful. He can still hold on to his position because of heavy armor.

Zero

The mana of both Sophia and Nicholas ran out but they persist and use their life essence as energy to provide power to Voracious War God!

King Beltran sweat nervously as he saw the black hole. It was only 5 meters away from him! If not for transforming the Metal God Armor into heavy armor he will be sucked by the black hole the moment it formed.

'I can't move! I will die! Before we even begin our plan!' he thought.

He didn't use any magic from the start as a reserve for his plan to conquer the dungeon. His mana reserve was still at fifty percent but he can't use them in this situation!

But as he was suffering, he suddenly vanished.

His subordinate, Dylan, is also a Tier 6 Wood attribute magia, one of the two Tier 6 magia of Beltran Kingdom.

He was ordered to watch over the sage tomb and kill anyone who was around the tomb.

A day later, they secured the tomb and its surroundings from anyone.

Dylan prepared to summon his lord majesty. He put an emerald green stone on the center of the magic formation on the ground. He activated the magic formation by infusing mana into the magic formation.

*swish*

The summon was successful!

The emerald green stone was broken and lost its color. It was a necessary ingredient for summoning magic. It was called emerald toxic stone. It can only be acquired when a star falls!

King Beltran breathed heavily as he thought he will die on the battlefield!

He did not blame Dylan for not summoning him earlier as he know it was his fault that the war was hastened because of his order.

"Let's go," he said. He didn't explain anything about the war and his injuries and choose to proceed to the tomb.

---

On the battlefield, the unconscious Sophia and Nicholas were oozing blood from their orifices on the ground. Their life and death were unknown!

They are willing to sacrifice their life for the Peras Kingdom.

While the soldiers of Peras were invigorated by their win and planned to overwhelm Beltran soldiers in one go!

It was the Peras Kingdom who took them warmly. It was the people of Peras Kingdom who help them when needed.

Nicholas was adopted by the Head Master of the Sabio Family and was titled as the heir even he was not his blood. He chose to travel the continent to taste food and collect ingredients before he succeed as the heir.

Sophia was not originally from this continent. She was a survivor of sea expedition of issued by Kupas Continent. The sea beasts was more dangerous than land beasts. Their expedition failed as they were about to succeed but a World magia was woken up! Sophia survived as she back out as they were about to succeed. But the shockwave from the blow of World Magia was enough to kill her.

She was rescued by the people of Peras Kingdom but she didn't remember anything about her. But they still gave her a bed to sleep, a food to eat, they were kind and hospitable. She then started healing people as she discovered her healing power. It was also her healing power that helps many soldiers into battle.
