Chapter 57 - Battle with the Twins

"Let's find a place to spar first." Ruby said when we entered the training grounds.

I nodded and followed Ruby. It didn't took a lot of time to find an empty spot.

"This place can do. Please make sure you're ready before we start our spar." Ruby reminded while something came out from both her and her sister's hands.

Ruby holds two metal fans while Emerald was holding two metal chakrams. Then a chain suddenly appeared where it was connected by two belts. They wore the belt which seams like will help them be always together by all times.

"Are you ready Ave?" Ruby asked while playing with the fans.

"How long is that chains?" I asked curiously.

"3 meters, so are you ready?" Ruby asked impatiently.

I prepared my gauntlets and then nodded. I summoned a water dome while making 5 ice shields that rotates around the water dome. I also made different ice weapons to help attack the twins.

This may look like it's hard to control but It was easier than controlling the shadow clones. Emerald suddenly throws Ruby towards me while Ruby was enveloped by flames. Ruby looked like a falling meteorite while Emerald was being pulled by Ruby using the chains.

Of course, I won't let the twins attack be successful. I summoned some ice hands to help me disable the both of them while also throwing ice weapons at them.

The ice hands was then cut by a flying chakram in the air. Emerald must have thrown one of her chakram to negate my attack. Ruby also attacked my ice weapons by using many fire balls.

I smiled seeing them do this. Since my ice attack didn't work, I made the ice turn into water and attack them with it. I made many water whips around them which surprised them a bit.

Ruby's dashed was halted while they tried to fend of the water whips. Emerald suddenly thrown something small on the ground. It looked like seeds. A few seconds later and soon tall grasses emerged from the ground.

The water was then absorbed by the grasses. The tall grasses was then cut into small pieces and flew into the air. Emerald then controlled it and threw it at me. I can't use my water magic since they will only absorb it so I used my ice magic to defend.

I made 5 ice walls in front of me to defend but was surprised by the power held by the grasses. The grasses actually held incredible power since it destroyed 3 of my ice walls.

Then a charkam and a fan was flying at my direction from different places rendering me to dodge it. I used my water magic to stop the attack and then frozen the water to not let the twins get there weapon back.

"That won't work on us Ave!" Ruby shouted while something came out of the twins hands which was there fan and chakram.

"How?" I was confused why it returned to them from thin air.

"Surprised? Our weapons are called Soul Weapons. It is bound to us and we can call it whenever we want it to be on our side." Ruby explained.

A harder match than I expected. My water magic is practically useless here so my ice magic and gauntlets will be my only form of attack. I don't want to use my other abilities since I want it to stay hidden. I have to think of a plan that will help me defeat the twin without using my other skills.

The twins didn't wait for me to attack but initiated there own. They both dashed at the same time and they're synchronized in running at the same time as if they're a single person. The twins then threw their weapons at me. I used my ice magic and made an ice beam to negate there attacks. This frozen the attacks of the twins.

The weapons then went back to the twins while they continued to dashed at me. This kind of scene happened several times while I was thinking of a plan to help me in the fight.

After a few seconds, the twins where only a few meters away from me but thankfully I already made a plan. I summoned great amounts of ice around me and formed an ice golem. I was inside the ice golem to make the twins unable to attack me. The ice golem I made was 5 meters tall with giant arms. The ice golem was made of snow with a mix of sturdy ice around the golem. This consumed half of my mana.

The head of the golem was replaced by my head while I cover it with an ice helmet to protect me. I can't be really inside the golem since I won't be able to breathe inside the golem and will also render me to see the twins.

"What the..." Ruby was surprised while I made an attack. I punched them using the ice golem as if I was using my Gauntlet Arts at them while controlling the ice golem. They tried dodging it but was trapped since I had thrown ice needles from the sky making them busy dodging that attack.

"Wait! You won! Stop the fight!" Ruby shouted before the golems arm landed on them.

I stopped and melted the ice golem. It took a while to melt but I felt good using this kind of attack. I felt happy to have made a new kind of attack for me to use. This fight was beneficial. The ice golem was useful in fights but costed tons of mana to use.

"I thought you're easier to fight with compared to Jan but... who would have thought that you have many kinds of attacks that I have never encountered before. That golem of yours was a first for the both of us." Ruby said while looking at me.

"This was also my first time fighting someone with a soul weapon." I replied.

"Hahahahahaha... Jan was actually your first in fighting someone with a soul weapon. That black sword of his was his own soul weapon." Ruby said.

I didn't know but whatever. I'm still feeling excited with how I used my ice magic earlier. I should think about some new forms of attack using my ice magic later on.

"Anyway, that was a good fight and we wish to have a rematch when you have some time." Ruby said.

"Alright but I'm not always available. I'll call you though if I want a match." I replied.

"Then it's settled. I and my sister will be going now. Thank you for the spar!" Ruby said while holding her sister's hand.

"Bye and thank you!" I replied while they left me.

I then looked at my pocket watch to see the time. It say's 6:45, I should go back to my room and take a rest.

I walked and went to my room. A couple of minutes passed until I arrived at my room. I went to my bathroom to take a bath. I took a shower for a few minutes until I left. I was naked now but continued to go towards my bed to sleep.

Next time, I should buy some sleeping clothes for me to wear but I'm also comfortable sleeping naked.

What do I do tommorow to be productive? Should I go to the library and read some books or just go to the forest to train my skills?

Hmm, I should make a schedule for tommorow. I should go to the forest tommorow by the time I wake up until the afternoon. I will then read the books in the library when night time comes. I might find some useful knowledge in the library.

With this kind of schedule I won't be neglecting my training while also gaining some knowledge.

I can only do this kind of things since I have to wait for Jan to appear. I can't take a quest since I can't find the kid. Instead of waiting for Jan, I might as well do something productive for me to do.

'Great that you thought that way.' Akira commented.

'Of course cause I'm a genius.' I replied.

'Pfft as if you're really a genius. But anyway, I'll help you tommorow.'

'Really? How generous of you.' I said.

'You should be thankful since many will be envious of you for having a helper like me.' Akira retorted.

'I should be thankful for the one who cursed me with a death penalty within 20 years if I don't accomplish you're revenge?' I said sarcastically.

'You ungrateful cat! I already saved you several times, you should be grateful enough to do that for me.' Akira said.

'I don't even know if I can destroy God and Goddess's religions. I'm clearly weak and even if I grow stronger how can I face many religions, I can't even destroy a single one right now. Thinking about how many members that a church has gives me goosebumps.' I replied.

'I already said I will help you before.' Akira said.

'I don't want to think about it for now.' I said and cut the conversation immediately.

I removed my eye glasses and went to sleep afterwards.
