There are several magic spells and non-spell magic that Viktor can use. They aren't related to his guardian fragment and they cost his pure mana that he had before he got the guardian crests.
Most of them are above 10th-class magic spells and they cost a huge amount of mana to cast it properly. They are enough to wipe out an entire kingdom with one magic spell but against a powerful guardian, it's a different case.
The power of a guardian is much stronger than a normal mage. They are basically incomparable and if a guardian and a normal 10th-class magician face a guardian, there is only a 2% chance that he will win. So, going against a guardian is straight suicide.
On the other hand, Viktor, who was the most powerful guardian among the elemental guardians, couldn't use his fragment to fight with another guardian.
Because the guardian of fire was searching for the culprits throughout the universe and he was ordered to report back to the water guardian. He was one of the powerful guardians who took part in the great war and killed more than hundreds. So detecting a guardian on any planet was searching for a rotten rat inside a storage room for him.
For this reason, Viktor had no choice but to hide his fragment and order Adonis not to use it as well. Because, if the fire guardian finds out there are more than one guardian hiding on a planet, the other guardians will definitely look into it. Then, Viktor will face the aftermath and his identity will be revealed. He can erase one or two guardians' memories but erasing more than 50 powerful guardians' memories will be difficult for him.
The worst case that will happen is Viktor's soul purification.
Tsk! I should've killed him before things went out of hand. Now I can't use my guardian fragment because I can feel the fire guardian is on his way.
The dragon guardian had no idea who was on this way and that punk will do everything to go back to the guardian realm. He is carelessly using his fragment and this will endanger both of us.
"Adonis! You can let go of me now. Let's run to the left and leave the city to prevent any casualties."
"Yes, master."
On their way out of the city, Viktor told Adonis to eat a power boost mana stone that he created for fun. It was the same as those mana stones that can provide a continent's power supply for twenty years but this was built for living beings. One stone can provide mana supply that can be used for casting more than a thousand 10th-class magic spells.
Viktor knew this would destroy the kingdom no matter how far he runs because a huge battle will start within a few minutes. One 10th-class attack magic is like a missile so it will take millions of lives but he had no choice but to fight. For saving a million he won't sacrifice his because he's already dead.
Even so, I came pretty far away from the city and this area is nothing but a jungle. This is the perfect place to fight with that lizard.
"Master, what should we do?"
Viktor gulped into his dry throat and said, "As planned, we're going to slay that lizard without using any fragment power. And don't even think about treating yourself as a meat shield. Or else I'll kill you with my both hands."
Adonis laughed a little while trembling deep down because his master told him not to use any fragment to defeat that dragon. Which means he's on a battleground without any armour and any weapons.
Viktor ordered him to fight with his bare fist against a well-equipped knight who had a holy sword. It was obvious that he was frustrated.
But his master's orders are absolute.
"Master, Should I take out the elite force of my clones?"
"Take them out. We have to throw everything we can until the fire guardian comes. Or else we are doomed."
It was the first time Adonis felt terror in his heart and started to tremble while firmly holding onto his shiny double edge sword. He was several times stronger compared to the lizard but he had to follow orders. This is the only thing that he was frustrated about and that frustration became worried when he thought that his master also won't use his fragment due to an unknown reason.
The lizard finally caught up to them and said, "You bugs are really interesting. How did you know my red mana waves are paralyzing waves that my colleague can't even withstand? The more I bother you two, the more it gets interesting."
Viktor and Adonis were floating above the forest while holding onto their weapons. They already created magic circles on the ground which didn't catch the dragon's eye and unknowingly, he stopped right above it.
"Hey! Why did you run this far and…"
Before he could finish his sentence, a yellow beam of light came from below and an explosion occurred. A mile-long burned circle was formed in the forest but alas,
The dragon was still intact without any scratch.
"Cough!! Cough!! You humans sure know how to annoy me. But congratulations, you succeeded to annoy me very well!!"
A slash of beam came out from the dragon's paw and Viktor barely evaded it. But another beam of yellow light came but it landed on Viktor's 10th-class magic barrier.
Unfortunately, the slash of light beam was so powerful and heavy that it shattered the barrier like thin glass. He was already out of his strength after blocking the attack.
"Heee? You humans can block that too? I can't wait to chew you and suck all the mana out of you. I'm getting impatient here!!!"
"Adonis!! Get away from there!!"
Viktor created another barrier in a second but he was unable to block the attack successfully. For using a big amount of mama in a short moment without the support of his fragment, some blood came out of his mouth and his body started to become fragile.
His fingers started to shake after using magic and some of his nails broke because of the intense pressure. He was already exhausted but he kept his expression normal so that he could at least save Adonis.
"Master! Why isn't he taking any of our attacks! Is he a god or something! How can a f**ing lizard be so strong!!"
"Concentrate on your attack!!!"
Viktor took a quick look into his record and still he couldn't find any secure future of his. No matter how many ways of the future he had ahead of him, there was an ending.
So he laughed a little and mumbled, 'Looks like I have to secure Adonis's life and hold until that fire brat comes.'
Viktor took out a portal stone and quickly put it inside Adonis's pocket without him noticing and took out his green glass sword.
The sword verified its owner and turned into a huge sharp scythe. It was the only weapon he liked among thousands of weapons and chose it as his ultimate fighting buddy.
A green scythe with a dark aura was waiting to slice the neck of the lizard.
…
Somewhere closer to Viktor's current home planet.
Fire Guardian's POV:
"To be honest, I liked Astraeus inside the guardian realm. He wasn't a criminal and he used to do his job perfectly.
But what that mophead did was too much.
At first, he became annoyed that some tiny humans died because of a tsunami. It was obviously Astraus' fault that he couldn't control the moon properly. But kicking him out of the realm and seal his fragment?
Isn't that destroying planets filled with living beings? I mean, some human who thought of him as the god was dead and for that reason, he had to kill billions of living beings?
Are you serious!!!!
Does that mean you like to be addressed as a god?? Come on!!
And why did you have to send me to search for a single individual who lifted his seal!! He might be dead already!!"
Suddenly, he felt a killing intent made by a guardian coming from a nearby planet.
"What the!!"
I guess it was true. There is a criminal alive somewhere who lifted his seal. I guess I can stretch my arms after a long time!
The fire guardian took out his fragment weapons and entered the atmosphere of that planet by following the red wave from an unknown guardian.
The water guardian was the king of all guardians who control the universe by maintaining the world tree. Since he detected a threat, he ordered the fire guardian to take care of it and perform a soul purification on that criminal.
It was also important to him because he thought he could contract with the creator by killing a criminal from the list. It was two birds with one stone for him.
