Alex took out Four syringes from his back pocket. He then proceeded to stab it on the two holes on each of his arms. "You think you're the only one who could use Magic!?"His armor glowed bright yellow and his face was covered with a helmet with glowing yellow visor. "Magitech has been experimenting with Substance-M for years after it's discovery." Underneath his armor, his entire body bulged with muscles. His power seemingly doubled. Nex could see that the pale blue glow turned a shade darker.She scoffed and searched her pockets for something. She took out a purple hair tie, and tied up her hair into a ponytail. Her bangs almost reaching her eyes. Her glare filled with unrestrained killing intent. She dropped her bullet ridden jacket on the ground. Revealing her grey shirt that had a gold insignia of a dragon in front.She stared at the bullet holes on her shirt and clicked her tongue. Seemingly uninterested in Alex's transformation. The eel like creature swirled on her arm.[Ooh!
"Is this how you convince your people to join you? taking advantage of their weak points? So they'd join your fake crusade? Hehehe." She chuckled and continued, "My goal is different from you. I don't aim to change the status quo. I aim to burn it all down. Not even pretty ideals like yours will get in its way." She said as killing intent gushed forward crashing onto Alex's body like a tidal wave.Alex laughed, "Hahahahah! What can you do alone!? You want to make an enemy of every one just to get revenge on Magitech?" She shrugged her shoulders turning Alex's words to deaf ears.He scratched his hair in frustration," Fine We have a med bay at base. If I have to drag your half dead body there I'll do it." He said as he cracked his knuckles. Nex dashed without any warning and slammed her fist. However a blue barrier blocked her strike. This sent both Nex and Alex a few steps backwards."I'm so done trying to convince you..." He said as he drew his foldable oscillating blade. Nex grinned
She removed the Mana on her hands and kicked Alex in his stomach. She put her palms along his neck, gripping it with enough force to bend steel. The thin film of Mana was cracked after her earlier effort. "What's the matter? The words stuck in your mouth? I get that feeling sometimes... You know..what's that idiom again? It's in the tip of your tongue but you can't say it? Hehehehe!! How's it feel?"Alex was shivering as he stared into her eyes devoid of emotion, but the killing intent that assaulted his senses were as heavy as a mountain. However as Nex was about to crush his neck she saw a flickering flame in the distance. She narrowed her eyes to get a clearer view. Suddenly an Orange haired woman in a red cloak appeared beside her out of nowhere, and she aimed her kick towards Nex's face.Nex immediately raised her arms to block, but she was still sent flying. The force behind the kick was like an elephant's stomp. She stood up and spat blood on the desert sand. Glaring at the as
She clicked her tongue and snapped her fingers. The ground rumbled and branches covered in flames appeared from beneath the glass. Trying to Peirce Nex. However Nex's instincts were inhumanly fast. So she used the hook and tied it towards the protruding branches to pull herself towards Solemne. She coated herself in Mana as she stepped on the flames. She wiped the sweat on her neck, "Time's up bitch!" She said as she sent her fist covered in chains on Solemne's face. She grit her teeth and took the hit head on so she could slash at Nex as well. With the loud sound of glass breaking, both their barriers broke and Nex was sent flying. Solemne only staggered back a few steps before regaining her posture, while Nex struggled to stand up. "Your Mana management is fitting for someone on the twelfth place." She said as she chuckled. She turned into wisps of flames and reappeared beside Alex. She spread a wall made of flames to separate them from Nex. Nex opened her eyes wide, with a growl s
Beyond the sand dunes of the hot desert two people were treading it's harsh terrain. The scorching heat would make anyone think twice from venturing. Yet these two people although parched and covered in sweat still pressed forward."What the shit! Why did we park Blair so far!" The woman complained. Veins popped on the man's forehead as he replied, "We wouldn't have to... If we just made our way inside stealthily!" Nex shrugged her shoulders and wiped the sweat from her brows. "Okay then wise guy, You're a mage right? Go do something that'll keep me cold." She said as she pulled Nova from her shadow to use as an umbrella."That's not how magic works! Besides I'm an alchemist not a mage by the way." He said as he watched Nex try to stretch Nova in amusement.[Damnit kid! Do you have any idea what I am!?]"Nope." She said casually. Nova clicked his tongue and cleared his throat. [I am the Great Ars Nova! One of the Six strongest weapons in existence! Remember that foolish mortals and Re
As if the lush forest lost its lively green color. Everything turned monochromatic in a single second. An eerie laugh was the only thing she could hear. A man in a black suit wearing an eerie smile. He walk towards Nex whilst clapping his hands. He tipped his black hat and spoke, "Well done... Nice to meet you again Nova." He said as he looked at the eel like creature. Nova narrowed his eyes and spoke in a slightly agitated voice.[What do you want!? You're not allowed to be here or anywhere beyond the veil!]The man just chuckled and faces Nex with his glowing yellow eyes. "Relax, I'm not here to put chains on your newfound freedom. I'm only here to celebrate young Nex's power up. Besides this visit is unsanctioned. It could be our little secret." He said as he put his fingers on his mouth. Nova warily hovered around Mr.Nobody.[Don't pull any stunts I have my eyes on you.]Nobody just shrugged his shoulders and sat down on a nearby rock. It quickly morphed into a throne adorned with
Flames flickered on top of a building. The noisy streets buzzed as hover cars and the different sounds of Venta's Nightlife entered the ears of the two newcomers who appeared out of nowhere from the swirling flames. The orange haired woman clicked her tongue as she dragged the beaten body of a blonde man covered in bent alloy armor.The glare she gave him was so intense that it could even melt metal, "I can give you to the guild right now, But... I'm tired of following orders from those old idiots. If you offer me a better deal I'll reconsider our standing." She said as she stabbed her flaming great sword on the hard concrete. Spewing flames that could even turn the ground into charcoal.Alex groaned as he sat up and leaned his back towards the concrete wall. "What?" Solemne furrowed her brows, seemingly irritated. "Gold, Credits, whatever. I'm offering my power if you can bring out the money." Alex however chuckled, "Hahaha, Fine Magitech will pay you whatever you want as long as you
She held her chin, "The flame on those chains looked like pure hellfire. The chains themselves are perhaps some kind of demonic seal to trap it inside a vessel. Angelic Binds?" She mumbled to herself as she walked in circles. "It doesn't make sense. What about those space cracks." She frowned as she was lost in her own thoughts. "Umm, About the deal." Alex said interrupting Solemne's train of thought.She was anchored back to reality. Her eyes darted towards him, "You're right, there's still plenty of time before she gets consumed by the demon. I will help you, but not officially. I will deliver you to the guild. I hope you won't speak until your owners come pick you up." She said at Alex who was stretching his tired body. He nodded his head, "I'll manage." Solemne gave a satisfied smile, "Don't break easily now." She said as she gathered Mana on her hands. A flaming magic circle with the image of a Flaming sword that spun endlessly appeared on the ground they were standing on.His vi
