Chapter 21
His battleboard sailed through the distance as his blades slashed the armour of not just soldiers but battleships and battlecarpets, his Trident interlocking with the blades of tens. Thorace parried and struck like lightning, making moves from unpredictable angles and taking down scores of soldiers in scores, leaving every battleship he landed on in a crashing mass of flames then landing on another to unleash a more severe form of destruction upon those aboard.   Staring at them as they charged at him in droves, he countered the assault as he confronted the soldiers head-on. He ducked, swirling around to slash down his opponent through the limbs, his sword cut through tens with a single stroke and his trident fell upon another score, unleashing a halo upon the rest, he sent them flying in a wave of flames. Gliding onto another battleship, he continued his rage of chaos, parrying blow for blow he leapt from his battleboard, landing on his knees he slid, taking down hi

   Thorace's blade clashed with that sea of armour and swords, his trident trailing his every blow and battleboard acting as a shield, parrying the blows from every corner and unleashing volleys of beams upon the enemy.  Mind, body, nerve and sinew now immersed within this turbulent sea of the heat of battle, lifted him into an elevated state of strength and will, that height of infinite will and Thorace willed !   That storm rose, wiping out the entire ranks of soldiers on that deck. rising high to the astral skies, it echoed in a turbulent rage of glory.          *** *** ***    Rising from the debris, his board lifting him into the air, being, sword and trident steaming, his sighs were smokey, resonating with the internal turbulence ensuing within his being. Bringing him downwards, his battleboard landed on the empty deck of a battlecarpet, where he watched the Mace unleash waves of destruction upon the Feudal Order's fleet.   "Decided to t

   "You all have stepped up a bit", Thorace said from his levitating board staring down at them, "but the question is, how far can you go   before you finally break ?"   Dorvin unleashed a halo at Thorace which caught him straight,  the flames cleared away unveiling a grinning Thorace still standing on his board, his armour glistening without a single scratch.   "You thought that could take me down, didn't you ?" Thorace laughed. "I don't blame you though, because I started it. But if you want to play the game that way, better know that it'll take more than that to bring me down, because now", his being raved with his eyes blazing gold, "I'm ready to fight."   Charging at them, his battleboard plunged him into the air, Countering the blow from Dorvin and Nord's swords as he unleashed a halo from his trident and sword at them. Striking its target, it sent them screaming. Swirling around, he parried Zorg's blow with his sword then deflecting Shev's blow

   "Surround him !" Norgus ordered.   His army of cosmic beasts fell upon Trident from all corners, leaving him no openings to escape. Still finding a gap, Trident bolted through their ranks, their claws trailing after him, breaking free from their grip his being exhumed that massive globe of condensed flames, which dazed them as he blazed past. Following him behind like vultures stalking a dying prey, they shot those fiery orbs at him from behind. Slithering through those stormy walls, Trident kept unleashing his own surge of flames at intervals, taking down tens of them in the process.    They were gradually catching up with him, knowing fully well that if he didn't increase his pace he would end up getting caught in those vicious claws and bladed talons. He doubled his pace, but one thing was sure, at this state of his, without evolving, he was definitely going to wear out soon.   It fell upon him from above, its talons smashing his back and digging

   Trident closed his eyes, he'd just have to raise another shield to hold them back until he got a renewed energetic surge, he thought.   But their piercing cries rang again, their limbs falling to the earth flailing. Staring above him, he saw domineering the skies, the Mace, surrounded by its mobile cannons and interstellar chariots, their cores exhuming volleys of halos, beams and orbs upon Norgus' attacking army of cosmic beasts. Turning to his side, Trident sea him standing proudly upon his battleboard, face unmoved and watching it all in silence as the first wave of cosmic beasts were wiped away.   "You kept a solid front out there", Thorace commended, "but I saw you were tiring out and that soon, you'd be a flying pinball."   "Nice joke", Trident snapped, "if you were here I'd not have to fight in this unevolved state."   "Accept my apologies bondmate", Thorace said, "but I'd like to ask one thing."   "From what I've seen, I

"Just send it burning Norgus", Zorg grinned with a revenge driven delight, "I can't wait to see him and his pet howling to the thores of death." "I'm already getting it done Zorg", Norgus said his palms falling on that holographic screen, creating a configuration with those geometric shapes. He locked Trident on target setting the Trail Disector for a countdown to fire. "Now I don't expect to ever see him poking how nose into what doesn't concern him ever again." Nord said pleased. Staring into the Trail Disector's core, Thorace could see the complexities surrounding the creation of its immense surge of energy which was rapidly building up within its core, making the atmosphere around it steam with vivid ripples of fire and what it birthed at that moment was just the reflection of that same word - fire. Thorace steeled himself within and so did Trident, who raised his burning shield, prepared to take the mighty blow of that enraged halo. It was going to be tough for the

"But it doesn't eradicate the chance of us getting scattered across dimensions, we'd still have to make use of our cores to keep ourselves safe." Vage continued his explanation. "One more question", Rode called, "is it a cannon or handheld ?" "Handheld", Vage replied, "it may be a microbe compared to the Trail Disector, but they are on par when in action, even in the palms of a man." "Talking about the man", Rode pointed out, "I can see he's taking a break." "Don't underestimate Thorace", Vage checked, "he never runs out of fire." *** *** *** Thorace kneeling on his battleboard descended to the deck of the Mace, panting from the effort he had gave and the strain it had caused him, he nevertheless had the fire within him to keep forging his way forward. So long as the Trail Disector was in the hands of the Feudal Order he was going to keep battling until it was finally his. "Sorry for coming late !" A voice called from above. "I had to do some background

That astral expanse of stars and galaxies scattered across cosmic realms and infinite dimensions unveiled themselves. Flying by, their passing heralding cosmic seas of colossal and opalescent waves, waterfalls of fabric like intensities fluttering like garments within the blowing winds, which all fused into a centripetal pattern of cracks that unveiled that civilization, grand and majestic ; the mighty cities flaring of astral emerald and cosmic gold, and the galaxies revolving in harmony. This hidden realm now unveiled lay before them in all its stellar grandeur and majesty, faded away consumed in that massive explosion that engulfed the entire terrain. Rising from their knees coughing and aching all over, that flaring configuration of ideograms enacted itself before Vage and Thorace and ahead of them, the Trail Disector frayed into ash that trailed its way into the core of the configuration before them, which went through a fission, separating itself into two whole parts that

James eyes fell on his sister's textbook, he too was puzzled as to how Henry had figured out the answer to the the question without even seeing it. And from the look on Judith's face after having turned to the answer section of the textbook, it seemed that Henry was right. "How did you know the answer ?" James asked. Henry walked down the staircase, his schoolbag strapped over his right shoulder and his eyes burning as always. Holding five slices of jammed bread in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, he didn't seem yo take note of the puzzled expression on their faces. Taking a bite at all five slices at once, like a lion he finished everything within a few seconds, downing the entire cup of tea in one gulp. Walking calmly towards Judith, he snatched her note and pen, without using a calculator, he breezed through the phases which led to the answer of the question. "There's the working", dropping the note on the couch, "and we better get going, or else we'll miss the

   "But you could get hurt !" James warned.   "I'm the one who should he scared for you, it shouldn't be tho other way round", Henry replied, smiling, "If you don't want to get hurt, both of you should wait behind while I clear the way."   "You heard him", Judith said grabbing James shoulder, sending him stumbling backwards, "since the stubborn ship insists on walking into the lion's den, it's best we let it be."   "You might be wrong Judith", James gave a sarcastic reply as he waved his head in mock grief, "I got a feeling that those guys are the dead ship right now."   Judith slapped herself in the face, what was wrong with her elder twin brother that he couldn't see things for what they were.   "I know a man who can kill by merely looking at him", James continued, "and to be honest Judith, I saw it in Henry's eyes. He's definitely going to kill someone today."   Both brother and sister watched as Henry walked fearlessly
