The irregulars
Chapter 23
With the intense battle of mages, Gen and Claude was in awe to their power.
The mage of light Lucian who was damaged from the abyssal attack already used about 50% of his Magical energy, the cost of Sacred magic was high enough. Meanwhile the demons are not sweating.
"Mage of light Lucian, do you want to become a fallen and master the dark magic?. " Dainsel offered. " Hahaha too bad I don't want too " Lucian answered.
Lucian dashed with his wings to create distance however the other demon Zarg prevented his move with earth manipulations to create a wall.
"You can't escape Lucian, accept your death" said Zarg.
"Claude I think sir Lucian is on Verge of dying" said Gen. Claude pointed his finger tip aiming into Dainsel, manipulating light and added mas and fire to create laser.
Claude aimed and shot within millisecond the light penetrated Dainsel's neck leaving Burns and wound.
"Being able to shoot lasers is man's dream" said Gen. "It is convenient for long range" said Claude.
"Wha- who the f*ck is it!" Said Dainsel. The demons noticed the two and now are ready to kill them preparing for their attacks.
"Having two B-class demons as enemy is suicidal, but with proper strategy we might win" said Claude. "And the strategy is just to attack, nice haha well We don't know we can win or not if we don't try" Gen commented.
Gen took his mana blade in his dimensional pocket and charged light magical energy. the ground crumbled from Zarg spiritual arts followed by a dark lightning from above. thankfully they were able to dodge thanks to Claude air manipulation to blew themselves away.
''thanks'' said Gen as he dove into the shadow with his magic spell however thanks to the massive barrier that strengthens dark elements, gens '' Shadow mend '' spell eats little of his mana and moves faster than usual.
''hmm this is convenient for me'' said Gen inside from the shadows.
within seconds Gen arrived where Zarg stands. ''i have to take this demon first because of his troublesome spiritual arts'' Gen thought targeting Zarg who manipulates terrain and other elements.
Gen ascended from the shadows with his shining sword, ready to struck zarg. he came out with his rushing sword, from the Ground he appeared within the shadow. he struck Zarg's stomach.
''wh-!!!'' zarg's response when he saw Gen used dark magic and light magic as the sword penetrated his stomach.
''y-you bastard! what the hell are you!?" he asked. ''me? just an fantasy fanatic'' Gen commented.
''huh?'' zarg was confused. and without hesitation Gen followed his new spell that he took from a dark magician shannie that he saved. the darkness he created gathered into his palm, forming a spherical shape as he aimed into zarg's Head. thanks to the dark barrier that the demons made, the spell that Gen prepared became stronger and larger.
''Dark Cannon!'' he casted, the darkness Blasted in front of Zarg, blowing him up. though Dark magic alone cant kill a demon unless blown into dust. Zarg's damaged body started regenerating however it was enough to buy time. for Claude spiritual arts.
after a few manipulation and modification tested, Claude can now create a spell that can replace Gen's Luminous cage thought not as much as strong it is able to bind stronger enemies.
the light materialized creating a spherical barrier around Zarg, adding fire the barrier becomes hotter, ''solar bubble!'' the barrier was able to hold Zarg's regeneration with light and intense heat. though the spell alone took 40% of Claude's spiritual energy and keeps eating his energy 10% per minute to maintain holding a strong demon like Zarg.
''Gen! Hurry! i wont last for 6 minutes!'' said Claude desperately. arrived within a second from the shadows he casted ''on it! Luminous Cage!'' he casted however thanks to his Ring with the ability to dual cast his magic spell became two that binds both arms of Dainsel. ''it may be weak to take a whole B-rank demon but two of them that binds two arms is different'' said Gen.
''You! are gonna pay!'' said Dainsel cursing Gen. Dainsel used force to tear his arms and regenerate to escape the seal however. ''hey i'm not done yet'' said Gen Grinning as he gathered his magical energy to cast another spell. the time he stabbed Zarg he copied a spell.
''this is the only thing i can copy for now, its a letdown since i cant copy stronger spells yet but its enough'' his magical energy shaped into a thorny darkness with a length of a human. the thorns manifested into three. ''Dark Thorns!'' Gen casted as the thorns Struck Dainsel shoulders and stomach.
''y-you! that's Zarg's Spell, how can you do it!?'' in a state of confusion and immobilized Dainsel temper worsened. '' Do you think its enough to stop me! such low level spells can't do anything!'' said Dainsel.
suddenly a magical energy covered Gen and Claude's Body the sound of the air was weird like a bunch of flying objects are coming. within a few seconds the sky was filled with the swords came From the Knights.
''the sky looks sharp'' said Gen. ''this is my True power! Dark, Fire, Water and Earth elements combined will be the Metal binding ''Magnetic!'' Taste a hundred Swords pierce your Body to shreds!" within seconds the sword rained down '' Magnetic Homing Swords!''
[SYSTEM SKILL COPY SUCESS!]
Gen dove into the shadows, safe from the swords that chase him as the ground he just dived into was filled with swords that struck into the earth. however Claude was unable to scape the swords. with the demon Zarg he is holding he cannot move as much. ''sh!t is this it?'' claude thought as the swords filled his surroundings.
thanks to the agility of Gen inside the shadows he arrived into claude in the nick of time faster than the swords.
''Dark Share!, shadow mend!''
Claude felt he was falling as he saw the ground he is standing has turned into darkness. inside the shadow there was Gen watching him below. ''Claude!'' Gen shouted.
''this is?'' Claude asked. ''a new spell i got'' Gen replied. ''i'm able to share my chosen dark spell to share to allies, however the cost of mana is multiplied to each person i shared'' Gen inquired.
''By the way, your power?" Gen asked. "I Got about 40%... How about You?'' Claude Replied. ''I got about 10% from all those spells and its getting depleted by maintaining Shadow Men for both of us, Thanks to the Barrier they made my Dark spells are stronger and less consuming, for now i last about 20 minutes'' Gen inquired.
''But you look rather curious like your expecting something?'' Said Claude. ''well Kinda'' Gen replied. ''The fact that During the battle with Triar Is my Magical energy was Changed and replenished For that moment until it Drained was a mystery that happened to me, its like i have a secondary mana... that monochromatic energy''. Gen thought'' as he ponders within a moment.
''oh! we forgot about the mage of light!'' Gen got alarmed, he move in the shadows to arrive where the mage of light is on his way he saw the mage of light was dodging the swords with his speed and barriers.
"Sir Lucian! dive here!'' Gen calls. without a second thought Lucian dived into the shadows as Gen casted his ''Dark share spell with shadow mend''.
''sir are you alright?'' gen asked. ''Yes, to think you got this much talent, both of you are magnificent'' said Lucian Complementing gen and Claude as he fall in awe by their talent. gen felt happy by the complement however claude remained cold.
''do you boys have any plan?'' Lucian asked. ''nope for a moment, how about you sir?'' said claude.
"yes i do but, care to take the risk?'' lucian tells leaving gen and Claude curious of his plan. ''would you mind to tell us first?" said claude.
''okay. i have a Spell, i can imprison Demons up to A-Class however it will take long time to cast, for about a Three minutes and it will take a huge sum of my magical energy which means i can only do it once'' Lucian explains
''well taking a single demon out is enough but the spell to cast will take to three minutes? i thought spells can be casted by saying the spell name?'' said Gen
''well what your doing kid is called spell delay or to delay the casting speed to a second however the strength of the spell will be just average. what im gonna do is to cast the full power of the spell, since Magic is the imagination of ones mind and the will to create, by saying its full spell name can enhance the imagination because words are powerful enough to make our minds have a clear vision and boost the spell with total concentration. that's when a magic circle will appear'' Lucian informed.
''i see, the sage didn't give this information... '' Gen thoughts.
''anyway are two on board?'' Lucian confirmed. ''there's no other plans we had so yeah'' said Gen.
''okay. now the demon we should bind is Dainsel, by far he shown his strength he in on the ascended level of Magic'' Lucian recommends
''oh, by the way i wanted to ask what's ascended level of magic?'' Gen asked
''hmm, its a second level of magic, there are three level of magic which is the Base, the ascended, and the transcended, for example the base level of fire magic is FIRE and the ascended level is Blue flames as i heard and the transcended level was infernal according to the books i reads, however to reach such level you must master the element to its full power to move to another level, even i only got ascended level of light magic by dedication for learning and practicing it for 60 years''. Lucian explained.
Gen's eyes lit up with excitement that hiding it was inevitable. ''Buying time will only take Gen's Magical energy, lets proceed'' Claude suggested. with their speed within the shadows Gen and Claude arises from the shadows casting their attacks to distract the Dainsel and Zarg.
''Dark Cannon!'' Gen casted aiming at Dainsel, ''Sun Ray!'' Claude shoots his laser to Zarg. the attacks was ineffective however it was enough to take the demons attentions away from Lucian who was hiding on the shadows preparing his sacred spell.
The sky was filled by hundreds of Swords homing to Gen and Claude as they move around dodging The attacks from The demons. as they dodge the ground decays from zarg's Spiritual arts, if they stop within a few second multiple swords would pierce their Body.
''i have try this new technique if it may be successful, to think i only remember it now'' Claude thought.
''lets see if that monochromatic magical energy will go out when my magical energy is depleted'' Gen thought running with his life with his 4% left of his magical energy feeling intense headache.
''kids, your Brave enough to be called a hero or a warrior, please be safe'' Lucian thought as he chants his sacred magic.
