Arc 3 chapter 48
The woods were rumbling in chaos and the sound of steel blades eccoed through out the whole forestration of the area.
Albert and Edwick's battle in the woods was causing a lot of Shockwaves as each strike from these two legendary level biengs would emit powerful mana that destroyed anything nearby.
If Albert was still in his prime, there's no doubt that he would have already had finished off Edwick a long time ago, but now it's almost like they are in the same level of power, but Edwick seems like he still has a lot of fight to offer.
If Albert were to run out of mana, things will turn for the worst against Edwick and he knew that of course, meaning...
Albert: (I have to go full power! Right here, right now!) [defense boost] [power boost] [speed boost] [wind aura] [electric field] [limit break] [zone: reign of the thunder God]
Albert instantly went full power against Edwick and unleashed as many status boosts as he can and alos activating the a zone technique "reign of the thunder God" which allows him to boost all his wind based techniques even more powerful than before, though this was too much against one opponent, but this was Albert he was facing, not an ordinary opponent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Albert knew Edwick since from his days with the Great Storm party when they were once given a mission to hunt down the last members of the Castilarux army who were spotted at the ruins of an old civilization as they settled there for weeks after the defeat of Castilarux by Trysad.
As the Great Storm party went full speed after the surviving army... They didn't find the army except for one man and one man only who was just standing there with his sword, as if he was expecting them. His name was Edwick Castila the Water Sage general, the 16th King's grand uncle.
Of course the Great Storm party defeated the mighty General, but he still proved to be a tough opponent for them. Time came to interrogate the man but he never revealed where the rest of the army was and the Great Storm decided to let him go, since they never got what they were looking for and they did not want to get involved in the kingdom's political situation and they left it there... But Albert had mixed feelings about it all and decided to try and kill Edwick while the others are not aware of it ofcourse, but the lucky man only got away with some few injuries after falling to the waterfall of the river where they were fighting.
Albert never saw Edwick since... And he couldn't find his body anywhere in the river or that area... That night Albert knew Edwick wasn't dead, but he was no where to be found...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Until today.... Albert threw multiple lightning and wind attacks at Edwick and he dodged them one after another and slicing down some few as Edwick unleashed two [giant water serpents LV14] at Albert.
One serpent bite Albert in the stomach and the other at the the leg, but it had no effect as Albert's defense was crazy right now and he depleted them at just a swing of his hand. Albert unleash a space warping spell at Edwick to trap his movements... But guess what? Edwick used [rapid slash LV25] and sliced through that space magic... Yes he literally cut space up to escape the attack and after doing the impossible, Edwick quickly closed the distance and grabbed Albert in the face.
Albert: how the fuck did yo—!!!
Edwick: back then I wouldn't have escaped your space prison, but now that you're so weak I'm certain that I'm stronger than you! When you stopped fighting and sit on your ass to enjoy "fatherhood", I continued fighting, I continued bleeding, I continued serving my people even when they are In the grave and because of that I ended up becoming a puppet for the truly evil!!! But guess what? I don't give a shit! Not anymore! The only thing left for me to do is to lay waste on the people that thrived because my kingdom fell.... And sadly, Lotus is one of them.... [great Sage seal]
While still holding Albert in his hands, Edwick sealed all of Albert's power in an Instant, but only for a moment and Edwick looked at the city, from the hill which they were standing at by the woods and started to accumulate a lot of water attribute mana in his hand sword.
Albert: Edwick please... You can't! There's innocent people down there! Hey you can do whatever you want to me, but please don't!
Edwick: this is no longer about you, Albert... I'm just too tired of this... The Red Hand wants me to bring back the four natures, but I'll take it from the rubble instead... It's Over and you must accept it! It's because you're weak that you can't do nothing now!
Albert: Edwick you son of a BITCH!!!
Edwick:.... [Ultimate: Tsunami Slash]
Though there was already chaos in the city, no one expected this... People were running, kids were crying, soldiers were killing each other and people who lost their loved ones in the chaos cried until they ran dry... The city was in a way still full of life and hope, people were willing to keep fighting for their lives... But of course, despair came and without warning to make things worse. A giant wave of water came out of nowhere... Destroyed everything in its way... Including all the people who were in it's way, children, adults, women, men... It didn't descriminate, it killed and killed even more as it goes... And the man who caused this? Well let's just say it felt good for him.
Edwick: HAHAHA HAHAHA!!!
Albert: Noooooooooo!!!
Chapter end!!!
