Since elysia hardly involved lyra in situations involving kingdom governance, very few people knew her, in truth only few elites knew the identities of the nobles governing them, no one knows when the tradition began but it has been that way for years even on other continents, information on nobles was classified information and only elites with clearance and other nobles knew of the identities of nobles.
Their family name was known but their individual information wasn't, lyra looked at the man in front of her with disdain and wished that nobles had their information available to the public, she wouldn't be in such a situation at the moment if it were so.
"leave here alive? Were you referring to me?'' lyra said pulling renjiro along with her as she turned to leave.
"where do you think you are headed to bitch, leave your boyfriend behind so I can shut him up for life" the man growled
''I suggest you chose your next words wisely, if you want to leave here in one piece" lyra said her eyes filled with rage, at this point even renjiro was scared.
"who the fuck do you think you are stupid bitc..'' the man was gagged before he could complete his sentence.
Thick green vines covered his mouth and began squeezing his head, the man brought out twin blades and slashed at the vines setting himself free.
''you think you could stop me with circus tricks, I will forgive your insolence this last time. Hand over that idiot'' the man said his frustration evident
Lyra looked at him in disgust ignoring his previous comment she tapped her foot impatiently; he had already provoked her to anger and she had made up her mind on teaching him a lesson.
"you dare look down on me, I will tie you up and kill your little boyfriend then when I am then I will proceed to fuck you silly" the man said with a creepy smile
Hearing this renjiro got angry and was about charging towards the man but lyra punched him in the gut and he fell on his knees wheezing painfully.
''this is unnecessary transfer of aggression" he thought to himself but didn't dare voice out his complaints, lyra began to whisper
"vine haven, thorns of suppression''
At that moment an arcane circle appeared beneath the man's feet and began to grow till it covered the whole area around him, lyra's eyes became shrouded by a green mist, she looked like a possessed demon at that moment.
Luckily at that moment there was no one around, so lyra could go all out. Renjiro stared at her silhouette in awe.
Vines that looked alive grew from the ground, each vine had thorns on them and the grew at an accelerated rate and began to wrap around the man who was having a difficult time trying to cut through the vines, but eventually he was subdued and the vines wrapped around him, the thorns on the vines piercing through his skin. The man shrieked in agony and lyra let out a deranged cackle.
The vines absorbed all the blood that dropped from his boy and seemed to be growing tighter every time it absorbed blood, the vines gripped the man tighter and he let out another howl of pain.
"do away with your petty tricks and fight me one on one no arcane circles'' the man mumbled admist his pain
''it is commendable that a none elite would challenge one but even in that you wouldn't fare any better, I suggest you give up now and I might just let you leave here alive" lyra said with a smile
"if you are scared just say it'' the man said trying to rile lyra up
''well let me grant your wish'' lyra said and dispelled her arcane circle and the vines vanished along with it, the man dropped to the ground on his hand and knees grunting in pain, he looked up at lyra with hate and murder in his eyes and charged at her with his twin blades.
He attacked lyra with an over head swing and she rolled out of the way, she had to admit that he had great endurance, he could still move around that quickly even with the damage he had taken, he stabbed at her consecutively and followed it with quick slashes, she dodged all his attacks and leapt back afew meters to put some distance between the two of them.
''I have to admit you're a quite skilled'' lyra said
''shut it and just let me kill you'' the man growled and attacked her again
'like I would let you do that, since you have a weapon it's only fair I make use of one'' lyra replied and long green whip appeared in her hands, she swung them and there was a crack in the air, the man felt a sharp pain on his cheek and reached out to touch his face and saw that there was a deep cut on his face.
''you bitch!!! You are so dead'' he screamed and attacked her cutting at her but she managed to evade all his attacks constantly putting space between the both of them, she swung her whip and snagged one of his legs and pulled at it making him fall face first, he swung his sword and freed his feet, he staggered to his feet, his vision blurring and charged at her again. At this point lyra was becoming fed up and was ready to end it.
Her whips grew a sharp edge and snapped and began whipping them at him rhythmically, the man managed to evade some but by the time she stopped he was covered in blood, he staggered on his feet and fell to the floor limp.
''let's go'' she said to renjiro and began walking away, renjiro scrambled to his feet and followed her.
Seeing that they had turned their backs, he attacked renjiro looking to impale him but lyra was alert to this.
''vine coffin''
The man was enclosed in a circle of vine that shrunk on itself, renjiro cringed as he heard the sound of bones breaking and his screams of pain, suddenly the screams stopped and the vines vanished, renjiro looked around but there was nothing left.
