It was dark, the sky was overcast with thick black clouds and it was pouring since yesterday. I didn't know it was raining while I was captured by the mage kristein Luna. After I beat her mana beast, I was succeeded in my long awaited unsealing my mana, though I didn't say anyone about this. But that's not the big deal now...
" Accchhooo...."
I got a sever cold and fever, thanked to get wet in the rain. Since the night, my nose was running losse.. Though I know the fever was for a different reason. That's for the sudden flow if mana in my body.. That also reminded me, I am yet to see what kind of magic I can perform now..
But right now, it's already evening and yetbI am stuck in my room under my blanket. Damn it, I shouldn't have got wet in the rain..
" Accchhooo..."
Damn it.. I need to let Kristein know about my condition. Though I barely had any interest in teaming up with her. Just from the slight appearance of her power, I could easily bet, she was freaking strong, stronger than any mages I had ever met. So I didn't really wanna get in her bad.
While forming alliance, we exchanged our numbers. She also agreed on teaching me about magic, so she prepared a plan for me to train at midnight at the school building. But I could barely go tonight. So I texted her.
" Hey , Kristein, it's me, Kirei.. Well you see, I had caught a bad fever and cold thanks to someone kicking me out in the heavy rain, so I can't meet you tonight. Hope you read this one.."
Well, to be fair, I am a bit worried that she might not read it and will be out tonight. Though, that's not my problem. All I gotta do is to rest properly and got well.
Oh.. And I also had to text Eri about my fever, she might had gone berserk after I missed yesterday's test and today's class. She might be harder to deal but quite a handful friend.
" Acchoo.."
Damn, this loose nose.. I should take those medicines the old man brought and take a nap.. I did as I thought and fell asleep while covering myself with my blanket....
It was midnight and the city of Castlevania was in peace. The rainfall had stopped, though the sky wasn't clear. The wind was still strong. In midst of the dark night, a figure was standing on the top of Castlevania Central High School.
The person was wearing a black full sleeve shirt and black skirt and a red coat was covering her upper body. Her face was also covered with a gas mask. Her long black hair was flowing with the wind.
She was standing there in a way that she was waiting for someone.
" Damn it, where the hell is that dumbass.." She was muttering.
As it was getting late and nobody showed up, she begun to get frustrated. She then suddenly thought it would be wise to call him instead of waiting. So she got to her pocket and brought out her phone.
As soon as she turned the screen on, she saw a message.
" Hey , Kristein, it's me, Kirei.. Well you see, I had caught a bad fever and cold thanks to someone kicking me out in the heavy rain, so I can't meet you tonight. Hope you read this one.."
The moment she read the message, she was fuming with rage.. Once she checked the time of the message, it was 6:47 pm.. and now it was 1:23 am..
" Damn it.. why didn't my phone notify me?" She said in anger when she noticed her phone was in silent mode.
" My luck and my phone... damnit.." She angrily shut her phone down and put that in her pocket.
" I was out for nothing.. if he can't come, who am I supposed to train.. it would have been better if I read it before.." She yelled in a low voice..
" Is that so?"
Suddenly an unknown voice spoke up. As soon as she heard the voice, she got her guards on.
" Who's that? " Luna shouted as she began to observe her surroundings.
" Does that really matter, young lady? After all, your life ends here.."
As soon as the line ended, Luna sensed something was approaching her at a high speed, but due to good mana skill, she barely dodged the attack.
As she dodged, she noticed a figure in full black robe, standing in her previous spot. He had a black sword on his hand and his head and face was covered in a black helmet.
" Not bad, young lady.. But that was your last chance to escape and you wasted it for observing me, how naive.." The man in the robe pointed the sword towards her.
" Let's see who takes the route of escape, you bastard." She yelled.
Without wasting a moment, she begun to pull out chains from a portal behind of her. Those chains begun to move toward the man in black with a high speed.
" Draining Chain.." She yelled as the chains approached the mysterious man.
As the chains were near his range, the man begun to swing his swords and begun to block the chains.
It made Luna a bit shocked. She didn't expected him to be able to block her chains with a sword.
" Well, then how about this?" She yelled as more portals begun to open from her behind and from them, a bunch of silver and golden shining chains begun to come out.
" Now take this, CHAIN BARRAGE.." she screamed as all the shining chains begun to move toward the mysterious man.
The man didn't even look surprised, rather he seems quite chilling as he had a enjoying smile under his face.
" The sword of Justice, exchange of the souls grant me your power.. " He begun to mutter as he got in a striking pose.
" SLASH NULL"
As he swung his sword in a high speed and the moment it slashed through the chains, the chains begun to disappear.
" What the... "
Luna was shocked as her attack didn't even put a scratch on that man, more importantly all her attack was blocked by that sword he was holding.
" That sword looks troublesome..", she muttered.
She also noticed, during the fight, that guy never made any eye contact with her.
" Did he know about my abilities?" a thought run into her head.
" What happened, young lady.. Already out of move?" The man said with a smirk.
This made her more angry and frustrated. She begun to gather air around her fingers and pointed them towards the man.
" Air bullets" she yelled as the compressed air around her fingers begun to shoot towards the man in black.
The man didn't even bother about it and like before, he drawn his sword against the attack and blocked them.
" Is that all you can do?" He begun to mock Luna.
Luna was getting more frustrated, but she realized something from this attack. Her attack wasn't blocked or nullified. They were all getting absorbed by the sword.
" Could that sword be.. " a thought begun to come in her mind. But she stopped it as she wasn't sure if that's true.
" You sure are pretty strong, but then block it if you can, bastard." She yelled as the air around her begun to gather in a center point and begun to create a spiral.
The man suddenly looked around himself only to find out they were surrounded by portals from every direction, even from above.
" Ultimate move, Tornado blast.." as the spiral shaped air began to take everything on its way and hit the man with a great force.
At the moment it hit him, she flicked her finger as a large number of chains began to come out from there and began to attack the man and "Thud.." It landed on the man.
" Heh.. how did you like it? that's my special move, Thousand Bizarre Chains.." She said it as the whole place was covered in smokes.
As the smoke cleared, she noticed all the chains were gone. All she saw the man was still standing unharmed with her sword..
" I see.. that's the legendary Gulaton Sword.. Which devours mana and souls.." As she gave an annoying face response " Tch..."
" Oh.. you knew about it.. Glad to see someone know what they are facing.. most of my victims don't even had any clue.. Such a joke for mage.." He responded in a smirky face, though that was hidden under his helmet.
" And as for you, you are not a mage, rather you are the famous magus killer, Leonard.. ain't you?" She asked him as she was pretty confused why she got attacked by this magus killer.
" Magus Killer, Leonard.. seems like it was worth to make you my next victim... after all, you are annoyingly intelligent.." The man called Leonard reply..
" Huh.. what's with that reason?" Luna asked being confused..
" Well, you are pretty strong for a magus of your age.. seems to me that you have so many abilities still left in you. My question is how did you devour so many souls?", Leonard asked her while pointing his sword towards her.
At this, Luna looked a bit angry and had a raged expression on her face.
" Why would that matter to a magus killer like you? After all you also do the same thing to your victims.", she yelled with a rage.
" Well, not much.. But are you somehow connected to the group named « BLOODY MOON».." The man asked curiously, but that backfired within a moment.
As soon as she heard the name, her blood begun to boil. Her body was shaking in rage.. Within a moment she was in front of Leonard, with a kunai knife.
Though she was fast, Leonard somehow managed to block the kunai with his sword. But he realized that she wasn't using any mana on her weapon..
" Damn it.. she is fast.." He muttered as he swung his sword to create a distance between them, though that didn't work. Within a second she was pinning him on the ground but he was still somehow blocking her kunai with his sword.
" What a power, no mana boost, but only from pure rage.. But a magus is still work with mana, so without it, a body always shut down.." Leonard muttered slowly as he slide his sword to his right with his right hand as he tried to block the kunai with his left hand, Which ended up being stabbed..
" Tch..." He responded in pain , but he quickly swung his sword and stabbed her on her back.
" Mana absorbing mode : activate"
As he said it, her mana began to get absorbed by the sword and her force began to get lower as she began to scream. It continued till the moment, she became almost immobilized due to lack of mana. Leonard pushed her aside and got up.
Grabbing his left arm, he put his sword back to it's scabbard.
" Damn.. that was a hard time.. But don't worry.. I won't kill you now.. after all we shared the same enemy.." He jumped on the water tank over the roof.
Luna was barely moving. But she could heard him somehow.
" What did you mean?" She asked slowly.
" You will understand soon, for now heal your wounds.. I don't want any worthy magus to die.." He told her mockingly.
" Heh.. this guy... he even realized that too.. I gotta be careful.." She thought as she begun to heal her body with the little remaining mana she had. She also managed to recover her mana within 20 seconds..
" This girl.. She could really rival that white witch.." Leonard thought.
" Hear me kid.. If you decided to fight against them, then think me as a ally. " He told her cautiously as he barely avoided the name.
Luna has an dark expression, yet she only nodded.
" Well.. till then... survive.."
The wind began to blow faster as within a click of eyes, he was gone..
" Magus killer, Leonard.. what are you after.." , Luna muttered as she lost his track.....
Meanwhile, It was 2:45 am.. I woke up after hearing a loud noise in the kitchen..
"Damnit, who the hack is it at this midnight.." I muttered..
I went down quietly to be unnoticed by the person in the kitchen. I saw the door was open.. So I slowly entered in the kitchen to get a peek.
I saw an old man in brown hair in a black attire was using the medical box. As I began to rub my sleepy eyes to see clearly, I stepped on a can, which made a noise and he noticed me.
" Oh Kirei, you're still up.. " The old man asked in a confused way while wrapping his left hand with bandages..
