Chapter 37

Hm. Seems some is going wrong at the castle. All well I hope that some of bitch Kane dies. Still I need to do my part. "I can sense your here Laney." 

"Seems I'm losing my touch these days." He's a master at mana sensing too. This guy has a lot of mana and I figured out what he is as well.

"So your a half blood right. A dwarf and a human." He didn't say much about it. His silence did not dispute my claim so I must be right.

"The spell you use to absorb Tise spell. Its a spell of an old dwarf race that once lived in the north. Until there they were forced out by the elves."

"So what. You think telling me what I already know stops me from doing my job? Those people were weak and let them selves be pushed around. I'm not like that. I'm not weak."

"Really? Its funny, I find it very weak that someone with such high caliber of power did nothing to help his people."

"Heh. Judging on what's going at the castle. The princess is not there and the only safe place in this city is either the black market or the fort over there. Criminal would not want that kind of heat so the fort is the only real possibility."

"Its fine I won't allow you anywhere near the fort. I have to end you right here Hargur." Hargur chuckles but not in a mocking way. He knows I'm not to be taken lightly. He slips on his gauntlets and raises them up in his fighting stance.

Lets do this. With hesitation I lunged at him. Hargur leaps toward but I spin in mid attack which confused Hargur. I stretch out my legs and land both my kicks to his face. Hargur was stun by the counter but it riled him up even more.

He fists bumps his hands to ignite his fist in mana. In then turn to smelting fire and lava. Hargur spreads out his body to smelt iron and fire to make very hot weapons.

Dwarf magic. I block most of the attacks coming at me. I used my lightning to get of the way of there attacks. Hargur slams the floor with his fist turning it to lava. I jump away to avoid the heat of the lava.

I summon a storm above us. And casted my spell on him. "Tempest hand!" A yellow light hit the ground quick to cause explosion of mana and lightning. Hargur tanked the attack. He can't avoid fast attacks. I need to keep attacking him until he falls down on his back!

I cast tempest hands twice on Hargur. Hargur takes all of my spells head on. He did not move from his spot. All of a suddenly now there was huge crater in the middle of town. Hargur uses his gauntlet to launch a mana shape copy of his gauntlet at me. 

Of course I roll down the crater to dodge. I get back up and run toward Hargur with full momentum running down the crater.

He have fight either cut or quick counter on each other. At one point he had grabbed my shirt while jumping over him to dodge one of his attacks. My defensive mana blocks his attacks just in time.

He lost grip from the block of my spell and I immediately slice at his body. Hargur gauntlet then release excessive heat. What ever that gauntlet is. Its not normal. Its like gathering natural elements and mana. Just like how spells work but seems to relies on some thing else other then mana.

"You made me bleed. This is more fun then before." Its time to use my top tier spells. The sound of lightning emits from me when I tried to stop him from casting a spell. We exchanged blows and break more homes around us.

Hargur was able to get away from to cast a earth spell to trap me in a stone prison. Of course escaping this was simply since turning myself in lightning was easy enough for me to get out. But Hargur had casted another of spells but of different type.

"Mountain Choir of the great Idin!" I need to block it. It will destroy the city and the wall! This is bad. I grip my sword and pour all of my mana into it. 

"Divine Eagle Slash!" I slash at the attack that was ten times larger then me. The spells collided with each other. Smoke and mana sprinkled the area but then broke into nothing. "That's the problem with a lot of humans. Most humans are born with no magic but can wield more types magic then most races. Some are born with a lot of mana and some not a lot or there lineage is not strong in magic."

My mana is gone only the last bit is my defensive spell I casted. "You are a sword master not a mage. But the biggest reason why you can't beat me is because your a human. I one of those who human side has been born with a lot of mana but also the traits of my dwarven blood. I am better then both those things."

His mana gathers around him again to form a powerful mana force. He looked like a god. "You can't beat me." His presence alone defined some thing in myth. The world looked like fire and brine.

I can't run away. I don't have mana right now and my only spell that is casted won't last long. Relax I've fought monsters for a living. I can figure this out. Thinking about it made me think screw it. I just have to be smart with my attacks now.

I need to attack his places were he can be immobilized. The eyes, throat, groin or his arms. Hargur yells to me come on then! I use what ever sword technique I learned to gain an advantaged. He blocks my sword with easy.

His gauntlet cocks back to increase his force of his fist directly toward me. I pick the speed of my attacks to pressure him a little.

My sword is getting chipped again. I need to show more attacks! Hargur stance was breaking slightly. I swung my sword horizontally at his head. He leans back and the moment when I went for over head attack. But it was fake out. I had tossed my sword in the air above. I life mt leg over and kicked the sword toward him. He dodges it again. 

I duck his punch to grab my sword behind him and finally stabbed the back his thigh. Hargur screamed in pain. I pull out the sword to put distance between us. "Very nice moves. But you can't beat me with out magic."

He cast Mountain Choir of the great Idin once again. But this time I don't have to block it. I let pass me when I dodged as it flew over the ocean to other side where the main land was at. The water was slightly split apart.

Hargur grabbed me by the neck. The inhuman strength gripped me so I wouldn't get away. "Your won't be able to finesse yourself out this Laney. Its about time to end your little legend now." The gauntlets started to heat up around my neck.

Man..I have to use the natural elements. My hands made a buzzing and then a popping sounds. This is going to hurt a lot. Electric waves hit both our bodies. Hargur loosens his grip. We both fall backwards literally in shock.

My defensive spell broke. Now I'm very exposed now. My insides feel burnt. "You crazy bastard...to use elements like that. Hahaha."

Some thing going on with gauntlets. There buzzing a little and the intense fire was dim. It must have reacted to the lightning but why now? Why did not react before when i used my lightning magic.

Hargur seems to realize as well. But he played off like he was trying to not make is obvious that is gauntlet were damaged. What happened. They never been damaged like this before. I need mana and I know how to get some. Vlatka's potion is made of mana since it can resurrect the dead. Potions like that need mana.

But drinking a potion like this could result in some bad. If I was near death doors it would work better for my body. "What your planning!?" I raise my sword so he would stop himself. If he had not he would have just pushed himself into my sword.

I quickly drink the potion and the effects kicked in. My veins popped out through my body like warms. Some of my skin had turned to yellow bruise and sores. But I can feel the mana in my body again.

Hargur attacks again since I looked to him that I was out of it. My lightning speed was back and now I fight him on equal grounds in terms of magic. I increase my strength with spell. I don't need too much speed. I'm all ready fast enough.

I raise my sword to the sky as I dodged backwards. "Lightning God Storm Tower!" Suddenly a layer of lighting had imprisoned us. "What did you do?"

"This is a tower from the world of storms. Its been awhile since I did this spell. Now you won't freely be able to use your magic. This tower does not allow mortal mana to flow freely in this trapped space."

Doesn't that mean you can't use it either. "But because of my family history with the world of storms. I won't get to much into the details. But I am allowed as its caster to can use magic freely as it is connected to me by soul."

"You make me luagh! I don't need magic to kill you! I have more then just one way." Orbs of lightning appear on both sides of my space. I can do what ever I want here. Hargur who punches right through all of my attack was getting beaten up quite a bit. 

As the fight continues on the outside was getting more intense. The Lazare had placed latters on the wall and begun to make there way up. The wall was breaking but was still holding up. Hen and Terra stood before the Imperial then. 

The entire kingdom of Isabella had turned into an entire battle. 

During the same time Moreya and Dantina Leaders observed the entire fight. Some discuss many questions on what to do and how to do things. At the end of the table was a women wearing a fancy dress. She looked worried about the entire situation.

"Your grace. Moreya is calling us."

"I can only assume its about Mia's war....Lets see what he has to say." The butler uses his mana to open the mirror behind her. "Greetings...Leig...I mean Duchess Leigh Dantina."

She silently whispers his name. But uses her honorifics. "Duke Moreya. Its been awhile." "I hate to ask for a request but can we speak alone."

"Why? My table has a right to be hear." "...Mia is hear as well. And she will not talk unless its the three of us."

"..." 

"Does she not matter no more either. Has your heart turn ice completely." "Duke Moreya. You may be equal in status! But she was the one that has given you chance to speak! Show more honor in your words!"

"Enough....Butler have all the leaders wait in the next room." "Your grace!?" "I won't ask a second time. This is conversation amongst leaders leaders! GO!" her voiced shuttered the men and where forced outside to the other room.

"Well? Is she here?"

"Of course." Mia voice appears and then her face on the mirror. Leigh face soften a little. "Mia." "Leigh."

"What do you want to discuss. Your royal highness."
