Chapter 27
Lugh had been devoured by the Spell, lisa conjured. His blood seeped through the gaps, eyes and mouth of the Hollow Maiden, as it smiled dreadfully.
Merlin, sreya and riley stood there dumbfounded.
Sreya whispered to herself
"Dont tell me. did he..."
Merlin
"..She actually did it"
Riley whispered to himself. Stunned.
"No way. Did she actually kill him? He was already weakened. And kept getting weaker throughout the fight."
Three of them were in distraught. But Lisa's eyes were fixed on the Hollow Maiden. As she thought.
[ normally, when i used this spell on monsters to test. The Maiden dissappeared right after. But for some reason Hollow Maiden still hasn't disappeared]
At that moment, lisa noticed that the once smiling dreadfully Maiden. Now had a dreadful expression. As if it was in pain.
Lisa couldn't take her eyes off the Maiden. As she gulps. The Hollow Maiden bursts. Like a over inflated balloon.
Lisa stood there, her eyes wide with a flushed expression.
Lugh emerged. Covered in blood. As if he had just bathed in it.
smiling.
His body now riddled with injuries. No part of his body wasn't injured. He felt nothing.
Riley's tensed face was now replaced with relief.
Sreya was in complete awe. As she didn't expect lisa to be this terrifyingly powerful
Merlin was in disbelief, as realization struck her. lisa now had surpassed even the dark emperor
Lisa smiled in relief " I was scared for a moment there."
Lugh was already smiling "why is that? You worried about me"
Lisa with a confident smirk, said " Someone like you, dying so easily. That doesn't make sense. And I also have a few tricks. I Wanna try out–And there's no better dummy than you."
Lugh laughs a little, before replying "Amusing. Truly amusing. Few tricks? Go on—You have my utmost attention!"
Lisa asked him with a curious face " how did you break out of the Hollow Maiden"
Lugh replied with a smile " shouldn't you ask. How I'm alive"?"
Lisa replied with a smile
" I was only able to make three source magic spells. Death stinger, for single targeted foes. Hollow Maiden, for specifically you. Its made for you. I knew you wont die, but it'll pain you. And my goal is your defeat. Not death. But still it was supposed to defeat you. But you are here standing. Covered in injuries"
All the while lugh was listening with a smile, replied back
"ShatterFall. A rank combat skill. Is what I used to pop your ace like a balloon"
ShatterFall: its an A rank skill. Mana is highly compressed within one point of the body. After its realease inside the body. It pushes the natural mana outside the body with such force that A devastating Shockwave is produced in a wide range.
This skill is extremely dangerous. As it is capable of breaking up the body of the user due to dangerously high mana flow inside the body. its not taught at the academy.
Lisa with a confident smirk, replies back
"Says the guy who got knocked back like a cannonball, by my death stinger. There's more where that came from."
Lugh chuckes a little, before saying "Ofcource, you do. Bring it on"
She lets go of her spear. It falls, she rose her hand toward the blue moon. Its light pierced through the clouds. Landing on her.
Lisa gave a smirk, before saying
"Hope you have a shield big enough. Since you can't dodge this lugh"!"
The black clouds hid the moon behind them. its light vanished.
it came crashing down toward him.
Piercing the black clouds.
In a moment his field of vision was covered by the massive blue moon. Now falling as a blue mass of destruction
" MOONBURST METEOR "!"
The group standing at a distance. Froze in place. As their breaths were caught in their throats. At the sight of this massive moon falling on lugh. As if it's a meteor.
[ Impressive, her third choice was a Aoe magic spell. ]
Even at the sight of mass destruction. He remained calm. Lifting his arm. His palm facing the blue sphere. He retracts his arm.
Lugh aimed at sphere with his palm. A Shockwave realease from his hands like a wave of energy. Aiming the sphere.
"IRON VEIN CANON "
The blue mass of mana bursts. The mana inside of it flowed. Spreading through the room like water.
Lisa was taken a back by the development.
"My death stinger couldn't kill you. Hollow Maiden couldn't hold you. And MOONBURST METEOR was useless against you. And you are weakened on top of that."?"
Lugh replied, cold but calm "power like yours only breaks the weak"
Lisa appeared to be calm. But was pissed. She went to grab Vongeruzroa–but couldn't.
lugh threw Venidia to knock away the spear. He rushed toward's her. In a hurry she made a 360 barrier. lugh punched. His punch shook up the barrier.
Venidia lied away from him. Flew to his hand. As he took hold of it. He went for a swing at barrier. Slashing through it. His next swing meant for lisa gets deflected by Vongeruzroa that flew to her hand's.
Lisa engaged lugh in a clashing combat. Where each of their clash generated Shockwaves.
While still engaged in combat Lugh said " I didn't expect you to learn Nova flare with a single look"
Lisa who was rushing him said " You are so weak. Right now. But still persisted through them. What a monster"
Lugh noticed something. As he jumped back. His breathing got heavy. He thought to himself. Sweating.
[My movement's are tough to execute. For some reason, even my will to fight is taking a hit. How is this possible. Wait....]
Lugh noticed Vongeruzroa was behaving different
[ Still Core ! ; that makes sense. If Its activated on its own. then it must've taken enough liking to her to take an action. It wants to keep lisa as its wielder. If I win she'll lose her source. And it will loose her ]
He laughed. His hands spreading.
Lisa felt teror.
Riley couldn't believe what he saw.
Merlin and sreye looked in shock.
His cryptic laugh ends. He smiled. And said
" SOURCE MAGIC "
Lisa whispers," that shouldn't be possible. "
Lisa was wide-eyed. she couldn't understand.
[ how can he use source magic. Without mana ? !]
Lugh continues
" Re——"
Lugh fell to the ground. Lisa looked. Her face flushed. Her eyes in terror. And she was in disbelief.
Riley screamed "Lugh !"
