Chapter 12 - Hero Of Charity

Astolfo and Sieg, riding upon a majestic beast, made their way towards the mythical Hanging Garden. As they neared their destination, the powerful warrior Karna appeared before them, seeking a rematch with Siegfried. Caught in a dilemma, Sieg had no choice but to divert Karna's attention, allowing Astolfo to continue towards the Hanging Garden as planned. At the pinnacle of the mystical garden, the tension between the two warriors escalated as they prepared to engage in a fierce battle. Utilising the magic imbued within the command spells, Sieg underwent a transformation, assuming the form and power of the legendary hero Siegfried. The clash between these formidable adversaries seemed inevitable, as each combatant readied themselves for the imminent confrontation, sparking a thrilling display of skill and valour within the ancient surroundings of the Hanging Garden.

 

As the battle raged on, Karna, with flames swirling around him, unleashed a devastating flame attack towards Sieg, as if the very essence of a thunderstorm had been concentrated in his strike. Bracing himself with unparalleled agility and reflexes, Sieg managed to skillfully deflect the attack, the clash of their powers creating a spectacle that resonated through the battlefield—a symphony of swords against spears that reverberated in the hearts of all who bore witness to their fierce confrontation. The air crackled with the energy of their magic, each warrior showcasing a mastery of mystical arts as they sought to gain the upper hand in this monumental clash of wills and powers.

 

As the intensity of the battle escalated, both combatants pushed themselves to their limits, unleashing their full might in a dazzling display of raw strength and skill. The flaming spear soared through the air like a fiery comet, leaving a trail of burning embers in its wake, while bolts of lightning streaked across the darkened sky, illuminating the battlefield in a mesmerising dance of light and shadow. With each thunderous clash of their attacks, the ground trembled beneath their feet, echoing the fervour of their battle as they refused to yield an inch to each other.

 

The powers of Karna were not just great; they were formidable, surpassing all comprehension. In a moment of intense focus and determination, he channelled his energy into a technique that seemed to defy the very fabric of reality itself. With an invocation directed towards the heavens, he unleashed the "Brahmastra Kundala," a powerful manifestation of his inner strength and skill. The air crackled with energy as a massive flaming spear materialised above, hurtling towards Sieg with unstoppable force. Yet, in a split second of incredible prowess and resolve, Sieg countered with his own technique, the Phantasmal Greatsword. The clash of these two legendary warriors sent shockwaves through the very essence of existence, each move a testament to their unparalleled prowess and determination. The battlefield was engulfed in a dazzling display of power and skill, with each combatant pushing themselves to their limits in a dance of light and shadow. As the dust settled, it was clear that this battle was not just about physical strength but also about the unyielding spirit of two warriors who refused to back down, no matter the cost.

 

Karna stood on the battlefield, his mind focused on the imminent clash with his formidable opponent. He knew that victory required him to unleash a devastating attack that would leave his adversary incinerated in its wake. As the tension on the battlefield mounted, a surge of powerful magic energy erupted from Karna, enveloping the surroundings in an intense aura.

 

Across from him, Sieg braced himself for the incoming onslaught, his determination unwavering amidst the chaos of battle. Karna, recognising the courage and strength within his opponent, felt a mutual respect for the warrior spirit that resided within Sieg. With a solemn gaze, Karna confronted Sieg, his words echoing with a sense of honour and acknowledgement as he requested to know the name of the warrior beneath the surface of Siegfried.

 

In response, Sieg met Karna's gaze with a smile, a glimmer of camaraderie shining in his eyes as he proudly declared his name. Karna stood absolute while declaring, "Out of respect for the worthy rival I've found in this second life, I'll offer you my strongest and most powerful attack" The air crackled with anticipation as both combatants exchanged their ultimate attacks. A sense of camaraderie filled the space between them, each fueled by a desire to test their limits against a worthy adversary.

 

With a shared nod and a sense of reverence, Karna and Sieg began to channel their immense magical energies, their incantations blending seamlessly with the surrounding battlefield. Karna invoked the divine wrath of the gods. "Know the mercy of the king of gods! With a single strike, I shall inflict extinction! Be reduced to cinders!" A technique he named "O Sun, Abide to Death" summoned forth a radiant blaze that descended from the heavens in the shape of a blazing sun, promising annihilation upon impact.

 

Sieg, undaunted by the impending cataclysm, raised his Phantasmal Greatsword high, his own incantation resonating through the air as he called upon the forces of nature to aid him in his stand against the unstoppable force of Karna's attack. As he proclaimed, "The evil dragon shall fall! And the world will reach its sunset; I shall bring you down, Phantasmal Greatsword, falling off the sky, Demon." The clash of powers was inevitable.

 

The dramatic clash between Sieg and Karna unleashed a wave of devastating destruction, leaving the battlefield in ruins. Sieg found himself overwhelmed by the sheer power of Karna, pushing him to the brink, where he had no option but to resort to his final command spell. With determination in his voice, Sieg invoked the command spell, uttering the incantation, "I order this body of mine by command spell. Show me the shine of victory that comes with freedom," as he unleashed the full extent of the Dragonslayer's might.

 

Even as the powers surged through Sieg, it seemed that victory still eluded him. However, in a twist of fate, Astolfo swooped down from the skies with a ferocious attack aimed directly at Karna. This diversion created a crucial opening for Sieg to strike at the heart of his formidable opponent. In a climactic moment, Sieg emerged triumphant, his victory ringing through the battlefield.

 

As the dust settled, Sieg's transformation began to unravel, returning him to his original form. Karna, on the verge of fading away, gazed at Sieg with a smile filled with a sense of fulfillment. Grateful for the opportunity to engage in such a fierce battle, Karna expressed thanks to Sieg for the unforgettable challenge. Their encounter had not only tested their strengths but also forged a bond between two warriors on opposite sides of a monumental conflict.

 

Sieg felt a tinge of guilt as he listened to Astolfo's sincere apology, understanding that the heroic spirit had only wanted to help him in any way possible. Karna reassured Sieg that it was in a servant's very nature to safeguard their master at all costs, regardless of the circumstances. In a bittersweet moment, Karna, the fading hero, chose to impart these words of wisdom before disappearing from sight, leaving Sieg to ponder the weight of his responsibility as a master.
