The Fractured Mage Chapter 81 - Luxuria(Part 2)
"Well, this isn't creepy at all," I muttered nervously, starting to back away with Lilac, before grimacing as I noticed that we'd been surrounded. "What should we do? I can't tell if they're about to attack us or not, they're just staring at us blankly," Frowned Lilac in response, as the circle of people around us began to shrink, all of them slowly stepping in closer to us in unison. "Me neither, the flow of their Ether signatures is eerily calm, almost unnaturally so. I can't get a read on them at all. I think it's safe to say that they're being controlled by someone," I replied, forming spheres of swirling Ether with each hand as the people continued to get closer and closer. "Someone with the Dark Class, maybe it's that same Nox Mage from before, Lect? I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that was the case," She suggested warily, as she took hold of her whip with her left hand and a dagger with her right. "No, something feels different about this, it doesn't feel anything like
The Fractured Mage Chapter 82 - Luxuria(Part 3)
Huh...? Where am I?I let out a dazed groan as I shook my head to try and get rid of the cloudy feeling in it, but it only made it worse, my head spinning a bit. I began to reach for the side of my head with my hand, but I couldn't, my arm coming to an abrupt halt, followed by the sound of metal clanging.What the...?My eyes widened as I looked behind me, to see shackles around my wrists, with thick chains connected to them and embedded into the wall. Shit, these are Ether-blocking shackles, I can't use my Magic!"Hm...? To, is that you?" Came Lilac's voice from my left, sounding like she was half-asleep.I glanced in that direction, to see that she was in the same predicament, her wrists shackled and chained to the wall, along with her ankles. My ankles were restrained too...we were in an empty, windowless room, with a thick metal door in front of us."Damn it, we messed up...we should've had our guards up more," I remarked with a grimace.The instant I noticed that mist flowing in
The Fractured Mage Chapter 83 - Luxuria(Part 4)
Flashes of memories erupted and flooded through my head as several triggers went off the instant the shackles around my wrists and ankles shattered and fell off...Luxuria, Father, Ira-Acedia, the Sloth Class...as usual, it was mostly fragments, nothing concrete, with one exception. The Sloth Class, I...I remember. The details are unclear, but I remember now, I possess two Classes..."Huh? Well, shit...not sure why or how, but it looks like your second Class got awakened from its dormancy. Fuck...this is a really bad match up for me..."As she blew out a foggy mist from her mouth, which began filling the room, I raised my hand, firing out a wave of energy...and clearing away her mist in an instant, a wary grimace appearing on her face as she slowly began to back away.I then fired out another wave at Lilac, the shackles around her wrists and ankles shattering and falling off, hitting the floor with a clanging clatter.I'm not quite sure what this Magic is, or how exactly it works, but
The Fractured Mage Chapter 84 - Apex vs Apex
Point-of-View: Sapphire Roselle ———————————————————————————"Tch, you're an Apex Mage? This is going to be a real pain," I sighed wearily."It doesn't have to be...just let me kill the fat piggy behind you and I'll be right on my way," She responded with a smile, Hritch flinching as she glanced at him murderously. "Not gonna happen.""Guess I'll have to do it the hard way, then. Oh, well...ah, before we start, I should apologize. Specifically, for the actions of my former colleague, Lect Flair. But he's dead now, so you don't have to worry about him anymore!" She remarked with a slight smirk, wind swirling around her body as she approached us.I see, so she's affiliated with whatever group that Nox Mage is-...or apparently, was...-a part of. Well, whatever, it doesn't change what I need to do here. "[Ice Art: Frost Breath]," I chanted, before firing out a massive wave of freezing, icy wind straight at her."[Wind Art: Wind Wall]."A shockwave of cold air exploded out as my attackin
The Fractured Mage Chapter 85 - Luxuria(Part 5)
Point-of-View: Luxuria ———————————————————————————Well, that didn't go according to plan. How exactly did his Sloth Class suddenly reawaken like this? Actually, how'd it even become dormant in the first place? Wait, how does amnesia even work? I don't understand anything about what just happened back there.After I knocked him and that girl out, I dragged them to one of the houses in the town, one that, for some reason, just happened to have a room in the basement with chains on the walls. Since that worked out in my favor, I didn't really question it. I replaced the shackles with Ether blocking shackles, and then remembered that those don't work on him...except this time, they did. Our Classes of Sin start off at the Ascended Tier, and we all have the same Basic Tier as the Physical Class, Brawler. His Sloth Class, with the Ascended Tier Negater, allows him to negate Magic. So, when it comes to Ether-blocking shackles, it's kinda like forcing the same poles of two magnets togethe
The Fractured Mage Chapter 86 - Luxuria(Part 6)
"We're almost home, To," Lilac informed me, as we began descending down from the clouds."I see...," I muttered in response, barely paying attention, as my mind raced with several thoughts.About an hour had passed, and after Luxuria got away, I went around and freed all the townspeople from the effects of her control. Once that was done, Lilac and I left the town and headed back to Skyrouge City.But I couldn't focus on anything else, my thoughts were completely occupied by the memory fragments that had been triggered back there. It's an almost incoherent mass of random images, nothing concrete...it's barely answered any of my questions, and it's actually given me even more questions than I had before.I can see fragments of Luxuria, or at least, I think it's her...it's images of a kid that looks a lot like her, so it's probably her when she was younger. How long have I known her for? She can't be any older than five or six in these flashes of memories.There's also fragments of a ma
The Fractured Mage Chapter 87 - Gone Wrong
Point-of-View: Iris Lero———————————————————————————"I'm sorry...we held you back, didn't we? It probably would've been a lot easier for you if we hadn't been here," I remarked with an apologetic, frustrated grimace as I clenched my fists. "Yeah, I hate to admit it, but I wouldn't have stood a snowball's chance in hell against her...the whole time you were fighting her, I just felt so helpless and useless," Added Rex, gritting his teeth as he turned his gaze down. "Well, yes, there is some truth to that, I won't lie to you. But I'm not faultless either...I should've put up a defensive barrier around him as soon as she showed up, or at least after she began attacking. And I can't deny that I wasn't fighting as efficiently as what I'm capable of. Tch...I guess Master Ifeus was right, I really have gotten rusty," Muttered Sapphire with a sour look on her face. That was her when she's rusty? Then, just how powerful is she when she's at her best? "So, now what do we do? Do we go to Ob
The Fractured Mage Chapter 88 - Failed
"I see, that sounds like it must have been a pretty harrowing experience. I'm glad the both of you are okay, at least," Remarked Iris, as she slumped back in the couch and munched on a chip."Yeah, that could've ended up a lot worse than it did. It really helped that that girl, Luxuria, just kept talking. I probably wouldn't have broken free from her control otherwise," I replied with a grimace, before adding, "Anyway, based on what you said about your Quest, it sounds like things didn't go too much better for you."It was the next day, around 5 PM in the evening. Iris's group got back from their failed Quest early this morning, and she'd just woken up about half an hour ago. She had a bite to eat, and then joined Lilac and I in playing some board games. Before we long, we got to talking about our Quests yesterday... "It was a disaster...we failed to protect our client, and while I'm not too torn up about his death, he was a real asshole, the fact that I was so completely helpless to
