"Now this is interesting!" Herald said back in his realm as he observed the unfolding events together with Mitsuki.
"Aurendor is going to fight a Higher Celestial?!" Mitsuki asked in shock, looking at the now excited Herald.
"Wait a second.." Mitsuki thought as he watched through the display.
"The higher celestials... Even Herald's master... They are smiling?" He wondered.
"But wait, he's still talking in Avalon... Can he even win this?"
"Don't look down at your god, his form is quite a powerful one too, plus , Our father raised us well."
"I don't look down at him at all.. He even confessed that he knew all along that I would be powerful.. Quite evil, I must say." Mitsuki said, making Herald to laugh.
"You talk as if you aren't hiding something from us too," Herald said in a serious tone.
"Every Celestial being has a secret that they can't share, every higher celestial carries a secret untold since the birth of time, hiding secrets of creation, of beings that can only be considered non existent, secrets of the Void and so much more. A while ago, even though Aurendor did hide it by veiling his universe with a barrier, I sensed a great power, which I assume came from you, which means that you have come into contact with a great being, a being that might or might not have told you a thing or two, which you are hiding for reasons unknown-"
Before Herald said anything else, he shifted his attention to the fight that was about to start.
"The fight is starting, try to watch if you can."
"Try?"
**********
The whole realm dissolved into a cloudy like plain with a dark blue smoky aura as the floor. Aurendor pocketed both hands, looking at Zain.
"You will regret underestimating me you lower Celestial." Zain said as the whole plain started shaking. In a flash, Zain ran up to his sword's range, swinging it in the speed of light. A blue line seemed to follow the sword's tip as it approached Aurendor.
"You are a thousand years too young to think I am underestimating you," Aurendor said, parrying the sword with his bare single hand, the other one still pocketed. With delicate footwork, he moved away, standing behind Zain.
"Bastard!"
Zain quickly tried to elbow Aurendor, but Aurendor again with grace, used Zain's own momentum, moving his elbow downwards, causing him to stagger. Aurendor then hit his jaw with his knee, sending him tumbling backwards.
"Zain's attack was too fast for me to see or even how Aurendor blocked or parried it, but that combo at the end... Aurendor is quite the martial artist..." Mitsuki thought.
Zain stood up, his face downcast.
"Fine then, I will take you seriously." He said as a blue aura burst out from his body and glass like shards rose up from the ground. Aurendor stopped moving as he focused on the now serious Zain, removing his hand from the pocket.
"What's this... He suddenly turned serious.." Mitsuki said.
"Well, as much as Aurendor is powerful, Zain is a Higher Celestial, there is a reason for that: Because he is strong too."
Mitsuki came to believe what Herald said because after that, he no longer saw anything.
*******
AVALON
"Right about time." Aurendor thought as. He stared at the masked Mitsuki and smiled.
"I'll win," He whispered to him as he walked towards the center of the arc that the Celestior members were.
"That is all, I wish you all the best, these gods here will take you all back to your places. That is all." He said as he vanished from the spot.
"He undid his omnipresence..." Mitsuki thought as his body started fading away out of Avalon. With one last stare at the summoned, his former school mates he faded away.
********
A golden spear appeared on Aurendor's hand, his eyes glowing a deep glow as golden lighting surged above him and dark blue lightning surged above Zain.
"Let me remind you that I am much more older than you, Aurendor."
"Supremacy arts"
"Did you say something?"
"No, not at all."
As their talking ceased, both of them dashed towards each other in speeds faster than light, clashing their weapons. A series of afterimages followed as Zain attacked with his sword relentlessly. That was not all, as mass spells activated everywhere, each having a humongous power burst. Aurendor spun his spear around, blocking the attacks that were coming at him at the speed of light.
As he did so, Zain appeared right beside him, hitting him right at the ribs. He flinched, giving Zain all the opportunity he wanted. His sword vanished and his hands burst into a blue flame as he pounded on Aurendor like a gorilla. The aftermath was so massive that Aurendor recoiled back up slightly, before he got kicked far away.
"What is this? You losing?" Zain asked as his sword reappeared.
Aurendor stood up, wiping off some blood.
"No, not really," He replied as silver markings started spreading around his hands and his spear vanished.
"Its just that, Supreme arts do take some time to awaken." He said as he got into a fighting stance.
"He disarmed himself? Does he plan to fight barehanded?" Zain thought as he dashed towards Aurendor. before he could stop, Aurendor dashed towards him, entering into a close range.
"Yes indeed, Fists are peak weapons" He said as he hit Zain with a fury of punches that shook the entire realm.
"I can't block them using my depuratus mana! How the hell-"
"Have you ever heard of Polonium?" Aurendor asked as he literally threw Zain away. Zain landed on his feet, looking at his now decaying mana armor
"What bullcrap are you talking about?!" Zain asked as he activated several mana crests, weaving past the fury of strikes aiming for Aurendor, trying to get close to him.
"Ah well, you can't know it... I'm the one who created it anyway," Aurendor replied as he did a round kick, hitting Zain right at his thigh, immobilizing him.
"You're about to find out what it is."
