The battlefield was heating up with The Flaming Knight Zex versus the Demon of Blight Guster. The whole surrounding was Gradually Corrupting and the Heat that burns everything it touches from Zex.
Zex dashed instantly to Guster with his Blazing Sword and armor enveloped by his flame, he was like a dashing flame
"Take my Sword Demon!." He leap forward in a blink on an eye leaving an illumination of light from heat on his way and successfully slashed through Guster left arm like as Guster defends.
The cut was enveloped by flames and the regeneration was slowed. However Gusted teared his left arm to stop the fire and regenerate.
Yet Guster Raised his War Axe and Smashed the Ground with his magic Blighted Domain the smashed Ground was Crushed instantly and the surrounding area to it creating huge smoke screen of dust
The dust covered the area where Guster in invisible while Zex was Visible due to his fire. Guster grabbed the chance and used his dark magic " Seal of Darkness " where the target will be unable too move from the darkness that binds his body. Without Slipping a chance, Guster Gripped His War Axe and Successfully hit Zex on his back.
Zex body became heavy with the inability to move, he was frozen. The war axe hit the armor and the axe was enveloped with fire. Just from touching the armor burns, however the wound on Zex back is Critical. his back was withering as his wounds worsened with extreme Pain as he grit his teeth.
the withered demon Guster used his full power that the surroundings were ruined from his blight magic. Zex screamed from pain in his back as the wound starts burning to burn Guster's Blight magic.
''time to use my last card'' said Zex breathing heavily. he gathered his Magical enegy in his body as his surrounding started to become hotter. Guster felt the power therefore he backed down to watch as the heat wave burned his skin.
captain Zex body lit up and became Red as his eyes emitted flames with his breath. the the Seal of Darkness burned and the ground he was standing became molten fron the heat as All of his magical energy was used up for this magical skill.
''The will of the Flaming Knight'' an ability used by Zex only activated if his enemy was stronger and his badly damaged. the ability can strengthen the flames to seven fold for 30 minutes.
Zex looked at Guster and vanished within Guster sight within seconds he was in front of Guster within second Zex cuts Guster's Right arm that was holding the great axe to defend his attacks.
Guster's Right arm was ignited by fire with extreme heat that stopped his regeneration followed by a second attack from Zex Blazing Sword. it cut's Gusted chest followed by a shockwave of flames. Guster used his dark magic ''dark bomb'' followed by his spiritual arts of manipulating the darkness to amplify the dark bomb magic.
zex stand's Firm however Guster was already on the sky preparing for his next attack without his war axe. however Zex flew into the sky with his Blazing Sword facing upwards ready to struck Guster's Body.
''Blighted Demon" Guster released his trump card. an ability only for his, the ability to put destruction to anything he touch. Guster collided his fist with Zex blazing sword when the sword touched Guster's fist the blade decayed in an instant following with a smash on Zex shoulder slamming Zex below on the ground with decaying skin.
with Zex will of flaming Knight he was able to stand up however with just a single more hit he would die. the decay on his body moved slowly thanks to the flames. Guster on the other side blasted his wounds with dark magic to exterminate the fire and regenerate as he took his war axe back.
however he saw a Strong Dark lightning coming from the other direction. he was certain it was Heimer magic. with the though and confidence of his Blight magic he left captain zex anticipating that he would die within few hours.
Guster arrived in the scene seeing Heimer was about to behead Rein who passed out from Heimer's dark lightning attacks. he called.
''Heimer! what are you doing?'' Guster asked out of curiosity. "Nothing, i was fighting an unusual individual'' heimer replied stopping his spear to talk to Guster.
''how about you? how was your fight?'' Heimer asked. ''it was Amazing, to think that Knight will be able to stop my blight magic by his flames'' Guster replied with satisfaction.
way back a few hours on the other side with The king Norza fighting a stealthy demon named ''Xenore'' with her twin daggers on her hand she vanished within the shadows using her Spirit arts to manipulate darkness from the surrounding and to cover herself.
''give up king norza before you lose your limbs and serve Ms. sylvara'' she said with echoing voice within the surrounding of Norza. within few seconds an attack came he felt and blocked completely with a counter slash. however as he sliced the demon's body turned into a shadow and another attack came to his back.

multiple attacks came to Norza however he did not falter, instead he focused of the demon's presence. as he caught xenore's presence he dashed with his sword engulfing with his fire magic and attacked as the sound of blades clanged.
''ohhh, i underestimated you'' said xenore blocking the attack with her dagger.
Norza noticed that the dagers was poisonous as his sword hits it and a poisonous magic littered around him making him back off.
"Hahaha now king Norza I will use 50% of my skills" said Xenore as she vanished within the darkness. Norza noticed that there are more clones now and with poison on their dagger making him wary to the clones.
Tens of clones came dashing forward with a speed of an arrow. Norza Charged his Magical energy and casted a complex magic that combines fire and wind. As a spiral of wind came he added intense fire.
"Flaming Tornado!" The spiraling fire was big enough like a building that wiped half of Xenore's clones and cleared up the darkness.
''i see, you got some trick huh" said Xenore playfully. "Then take this! Poison Mist" she casted her magic spell.
A poisonous mist came in Norza covering his surrounding. judged the air is poisonous he held his breath and casted his next Spell. the wind surrounds his arms it became heavy and blasted a strong pressured air. ''Aerial Cannon'' in front of Norza the surrounding was blasted with the poison mist as the view became clearer because the air blast made a hole in the darkness.
with a slight air coming from Xenore, Norza Chanted his spell '' Levitation " followed by a strong kick into the ground making him close the distance to Xenore in a blink of an eye. he swung his Blazing Sword and Slashed the nick of the demon. tho it was just a clone with much more magical energy compared to others.
Xenore's Trap was successful therefore she took the Chance to attack with her daggers as she appeared from the shadows. she casted '' Shadow Slash '' a strong Sharp crescent shaped darkness emitted from the daggers boosted by dark manipulation from Spiritual arts, combined by poison magic.

''Claude, any plans? looks like the mage of light in on a pinch'' said Gen breathing heavily from running. ''well i do'' said Claude as he grins. '' then what is it? '' Gen asked. ''just attack'' said Claude plainly. ''hmm... well i also have new offensive spell to try'' said Gen. ''then its good'' Claude complemented.
while on the stage the demon that mastered Magic Casted a spell however the magic circle that appeared was not alone but multiple at the same time.
''take my spells, Water Gatling gun, Multicast'' five magic circle appeared in front of Dainsel that fired high pressured water bullets hundred times per second. without second thought The light mage Lucian casted a spell. '' Photon Wings! '' a spell that created a pair of wings made of light to Lucian back which made him be able to fly a move extremely fast.
within seconds Lucian was on sky dodging the water bullets at high Speed. however the other demon that mastered spiritual arts, Zarg Manipulated the wind on a specific rage where Lucian is, '' Lucian fall! aerial press! '' the air around Lucian became heavy as iron which made him fall to the ground.

'' the light covered Lucian however it was much Stronger and healed his wounds.

''But interesting, to think a human in this little kingdom was able to reach ascended magic level '' Dainsel Grins '' however we demons live to countless of years already, and i already reached ascended magic too, Hahahaha '' Dainsel laughed preparing his next attack.
''Let me show you! Abysmal Magic! Abyssal Cannon!" The darkness surrounded in a single point and that point becomes extremely dark that if just staring would swallow you. The single point became larger at the size on a ball. As he shoots the surrounding within the rushing ball was destroyed, as the ball hits the barrier the light broke and so do the darkness however leaves Lucian some damage from the impact.
"Woah what was that? That was something new!" Said Gen with curious eyes. "An another level of magic I guess'' said Claude in awe.

"Well let's proceed to our plan" Claude suggested, "yes the plan just to attack" Gen added.
