Chapter 135 Forbidding Glyphs

His shadow crawled around his body, stretching to the knife laid in his hand, and it turned around it fusing into the blade. Peter stared in Sandels fiery silver, having her sword covered in the flames she drew out, covered some of her face framing her in this iridescent glow, Peter lifted his hand holding up his knife,

"He wants you to stay in my way,"

Peter twirls the knife, throwing it in the air before catching it. She used to watch the knife if he had thrown it, but she stood stiff, holding her sword softer. His eyes widen when a bust of flames rushes at him fiercely. He brought his knife before him blocking some of the flame but not all. It burned his legs seizing them, the shadow moved away from them scared from the attack, went up to his stomach floating. Peter looked ahead of him, seeing her still there, 

"At first, he ordered me to stop you,"

Sandel told him, walking to him her sword to her side, the fire not burning her but descending on her body and then evaporating. 

"After what I've done... what you've done, Peter and how you did it,"

She continued her stride to him glaring at him, her eyes glowing virtuously, 

"That only extended my resolve," 

She didn't swing her sword if so. He didn't see it, but he had sets of fire rushing. tawords shaking to him like a tsunami, Peter moved his shadow to his knife, casting it as a sword. it grew with in stature casting a dark shadow over her flames it clashed sending the fire around them spreading, Peter stopped the first rush of fire when the second one stronger then the last appeared thought the dwindling flames. Peter snarled, feeling the heat start to burn away at him, 

"I have to push against her heat if i want to knock her out,"

Peter looked past the flames at her and thought,

"If not, i will have to kill her," 

Peter muttered something unrecognizable under his breath, the shadow enveloped his body closing in his face as he observed the fire reach them, he smile moving his sword back, before releasing a harsh blow to the fire, its a dark emblem of his virtue, cut through it and went back to Sandel, her eyes slanted the grip on her sword tightened and thought. 

"This is only a little of his virtue," 

Sandel wasn't hesitant and walked closer to the fast approaching dark virtue. She raised her sword, shifting her gaze to Peter, unfazed and stretched her sword to her other side giving Peter a scathing stare, 

"Peter," 

She waited for it to be closer to her, stretching her own virtue into her blade, having the fire on it grow in magnitude. It widened so that it touched the darkness already. Sandel noticed Peters reaction, his eyes slightly widening, but then his smile grew. Something might be wrong with in it, Sandel swiped thought it splitting it in two, Sandel saw his virtue change from the slash, it morphed and turned as of his shadow, Sandel moved with her sword using it as leverage, Striding towards him quickly where Peter couldn't see her, but that didn't stop the virtue, 

"Sandel," 

He let out smoothly, raised his hand motioning. Sandel was sprinting at him, and she moved her sword, flinging to the other side, when her leg stopped. Sandel looked at her leg, its caught by his shadow, Sandel went to pull it off of her but it tightened its hold, it moves up her leg moving past the fire, Sandel hears a laugh from in front of her and felt her chin grabbed by Peter, 

"That was impressive,"

Making her look at him, he brushed the side of her face with his thumb. A hum came from him, and as he watched his hand, Sandel took his arm, drawing his gaze, 

"Off of me," 

"Now it's too late for that. You've made that abundantly clear," 

It went to her stomach heading upwards towards her head, Sandel glanced at it almost amused but kept it hidden from him, Peter looked over her and thought, 

"This isnt what i wanted for her, i wished for her to go with me but i knew she wouldnt, choosing to stay with the old father listing to his every word not having the admiration she should for his words and wishes" 

Peter moved her chin and caught her gaze. He watched his shadow move up her body, taking what virtue she had. Peter reached and touched her stomach where his shadow was, and he smiled feverishly, 

"You've hid all of this power from me, Sandel?"

Peter chuckled, having her virtue sink in his hand, making him feel the pain from it. The burn from her power was maddening. This is her, or did her grant this to her. Peter felt his hand burn fervently that he knew it was her strength, not his. 

"Good, just what i hoped for," 

The shadow covres her her face framing it, it circled around her face having an old swedish frilm swirl around her, Peter moved his hand away from her stepping back from her, Sandel sees the black shadow in the corner of her eyes, having a cold substance press on her. As she hears Peter whisper,

"You are right. This is you,"

The shadow covered her eyes, closing in on the rest of her face, Peter obersed when he saw the process of his shadow talking away to make her stay. 

"You will be stuck here intrapped in stone for as long as i rule," 

Sadnel only has her mouth free from it, Peter scanned over her form, admiring her for the last time before shes intrapped in stone,

"She looks more gorgeous under my grasp than not," Peter thought 

His eyes drifted to her lip, still a frown when the ends of her lips went up, Peter surprised mutter out, 

"Sandel, you don't smile like that for no reason, dont try anything. You are already stuck by my will," 

The shadow rushed to cover her, but she huffed, exasperated. 

"Peter, you virtue is termendes,"

Sandel smiled, so this is what it feels to conquer your teacher. Your freaind and what you thought could be more. Peter made his shadow cover her, leaving her in the dark, and he stepped back his gaze, never leaving her form,

"Shadow, keep her here while i deal with him," 

It twirled around as a sign of agreement. Peter truned his back to them, heading to the thrown room with the glow from him shining throught, with every step Peter felt a sense of acomplishment. Peter felt the grin on his face stretchs as he neared the door, but he heard a crackle. A fire crackle. Peter turned to that sound seeing a burning gaze in his shadow, a fire grew with in his virthu, not in stone or frozen with in him, Peter went to take a step but a streak of fire stopped him, his right leged burned caught in the fire and Peters glares at the fire, 

"Here, i thought she was defeated. A shame," 

Peter frowned at the thought and shifted his gaze back to Sandel. Wasn't there she broke through his shadow, leaving it to nothing,but her feet prints burned in the marbel all around him, Peter anlized the footprints. She must have held her virtu back, leaving my shadow weaken. How intreging. He looked around for her when he heard her say, 

"I'm not going to stop time again. This I'm going to savor Peter," 

A cut went thought his stomach, then his chest and kept repeating, Peter shift around the slashes escaping the burtal cut but not the heat off it, it burned past his virtu hitting him he spit blood having burned his chest and stomach. It went to his legs and arms cutting them throught his shadow, it seperats having the fire burn away at him, Peter glared ahead seeing Sandel two feet from him striding, the stare she has changed dermaticly. Harden filled with lasting power she weilds. Sandel jumped at him, her sword pointed down at his heart, Peter glared at her with his shadow covering his chest, 

"It won't work on me, Peter," 

The sword broke through the shadow, and Peter stunned as the sword went through his sheald, his shadow thrusting to his heart, Sandel plunged it into his heart, leaving him breathless. He coughed blood pouring out of his chest splater onto his shoulders, he snarled, speaking harshly, 

"You witch,"

He spat out more blood but purposefully on her, making her pure white clothes have a burt of bright red, Peter frowns and continues. 

"Following him instead of us, harming them to the point of fainting, how could you do this to them,"

He froze from the words he spoke next,

"To me," 

Sandel didn't stop hearing how genuen he sounds, she leaned back stricking through him again, they both watched as her sword went in his heart slowly, Sandel pushed against it, Peter smirks witht he red glow from his arms illuminating him, Peter has a set of hieroglyphs in the last bit of the fight,
