"The Cursed Blade of Empathy?" Alex asked himself.
Seeing the unrelenting power that was now coursing through Asher made Alex and the others very wary.
Ophelia retreated to a distance and Alex followed doing the same making sure not to caught up in the energy that Asher was harnessing.
Asher broke out into a bloodthirsty smile and he launched himself at Ophelia and Alex who quickly dodged knowing they could deflect his attack.
"What strength!" Ophelia responded with a smile.
"How the hell are we supposed to beat that?" Alex said.
Alex started to manifest his origin, causing his body to become covered in his lightning as he launched himself at Asher, using his tachi to slash at him but every slash he made just made Asher laugh.
"Look how weak you are." Asher taunted Alex.
Alex jumped up into the air landing on the wall of ice that Adelia had made before launching himself down at Asher, gathering all of his lighting to his blade and swinging at Asher from above, Asher smiled seeing this.
"Did you think this would work?" Asher taunted.
Asher swiped his hand at Alex and swiped Alex out of the air causing him to land in front of Ophelia.
"That sucked..." Alex commentated.
Adelia who was still at a distance from the main battle kept using projectile ice attacks on Asher however they seemed as if they weren't affecting him at all.
Asher then looked up at Adelia and smiled before jumping up onto the ice wall that she had created and was now standing right next to her
"I've had enough of your ice bitch." Asher said in a lower demonic tone.
Asher then smacked Adelia off the wall towards to where Alex and Ophelia were, Alex still trying to get his head together managed to run up and catch Adelia in his arms saving her from a painful landing.
Adelia was in his arms and blushed "Thank you Alex."
Alex smiled back at her and said "No problem, but tell me what the hell is the Cursed Blade of Empathy?"
Adelia tried to explain quickly "Basically it's a power he has, all of the members of that factions have curses, his is empathy."
"Do you know what that power does?" Alex asked.
"Not a clue." Adelia responded. "It's the first time in over a decade one of their members have had to use this ability."
"Great...so what's the plan now?" Alex asked.
"We stay with the plan, kill Asher." Adelia said.
Ophelia walked up next to the pair "Oh...I'm soooo ready for this." she said with a smile.
"Alex...run" Adelia said.
Alex didn't hesitate before listening to Adelia and running away from Ophelia who was gathering her own power.
"What's about to happen Adelia?" Alex asked.
"Ophelia is using her origin without constraints...and this now a very dangerous place to be."
Ophelia's body became shrouded in darkness before her figure disappeared completely but in her place quickly a large shroud of complete darkness formed, and all Alex could here was Ophelia giggling.
"What the hell?" Alex commentated.
The shroud kept growing and growing as Ophelia's giggling became a maniacal laughter.
Asher looked at the shroud and said "What the fuck is this? A black cloud?"
Ophelia from inside of the cloud laughed and said "Why don't you try and attack me from inside of my "cloud" or do you not have the balls?
A vein bulged on Asher's forehead "What did you just say bitch?"
Meanwhile Alex and Adelia who were watching this unfold were shocked.
"There is something you should know Alex." Adelia said.
Alex looked at Adelia as she said "She is one of our strongest members for a reason."
Soon the shroud started to launch projectiles at Asher who had trouble dodging her attacks however soon the wall of ice that Asher was standing on broke causing him to fall right into Ophelia's shadow.
After that, not a sound could be heard.
Alex stared at the shroud of shadow and asked Adelia "What just happened?"
Ophelia responded to Alex "A fate worse then death."
*Inside of the shroud*
Asher woke up inside of a bed "Where...where am I?"
He looked at his surroundings and saw a very familiar room, a very well eloquently designed room with the softest cloth on a bed he had ever slept on. Once he rubbed his eyes he knew exactly where he was "I'm...home?"
