The slash was followed with hundreds more in the blink of an eye. And he was left there. About to fall to the ground. When he felt something wriggling in his arm, and seeing the star glow a bright white light. He felt drowsy and passed out. And while he slept. Something else awoke. His body stood back up. His gaze was dead. His eyes glowing white along with his sword having a white aura.
The snake tattoo on his arm was gone. Instead running over his eye. The woman was confused. And in an instant, she was slashed 10 times by Clay's blade. Glowing with holy light. The woman nicked herself across the wrist. Letting the blood enhance her blades. She dashed forward and cut off Clay's arm. But the dozing boy used a regenerative holy spell. And grew it back. Fresh and new.
The woman sped up a bit. The injuries that were being dealt out by Clay were being healed by the man. So Clay went after him. But the man had a protective barrier. Clays sword clanged against it, failing to slice across the barrier, the woman attempted to catch him off guard. But he stepped out of the way and let the woman strike the man's barrier and threw a kick to her gut.
Wind manifested in Clay's palm, he shot it out, a gust of razor sharp winds that made cuts all over the woman.
"Damn brat…how is this so difficult?!"
The man yelled behind his barrier. Clay turned around and struck the barrier with his sword. The barrier cracked, and almost broke. But the woman dashed forward and kicked Clay away. Clay infused his sword with light magic. He traced the ground with his sword and swung up, a beam of energy coming up from the ground and hitting the woman.
The woman shot a blast of pure mana at Clay. But the sleeping Clay simply held his hand out, and the blast just disappeared, like it collapsed in on itself. Suddenly the man behind his cracked barrier started laughing.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew I was right! Come, we've seen all we need to."
The woman jumped back to the man's side.
"Are you sure, he truly bears the mark of our star?"
The woman looked at the man confused as she expressed her confusion. The man simply continued laughing.
"Yes, I can see it, that spell, those energies, he is the blessed one. Let us depart. Before that beast sleeping inside kills us."
Clay rushed at them, but before his sword could pierce either of them, they vanished.
