Chapter 39

"I see. I always wanted to fight a moon elf. But why hide your face. I have no doubt your more beautiful than any elf in the world. Maybe even one of the most beautiful in the world.

"Hearing your say that is disgusting. Human have hunted us down specially because of that. Pure nonsense that eating our bodies would make a person beautiful."

"I agree. Its quite disgusting that our people would do such a thing. But were getting off track. Surrender or you will join your people in tree heaven or what ever."

How do I fight him. He see's every attack I through at him! I need to understand how his gift works. All gifts show signs of some thing on how it works. And I did realize a small sign when I got close to him. 

A small cool brushed over me instantly. This must be it! I jump away while avoiding the vines that attempted to crush me. The vines suddenly fade into mana particles and when Corbin saw the empty bottle in slot. He replaced it with different color bottle.

He traced a dozen rings of fire with his rapier. The rings formed a red hot center and roared out an intense flame. I hid behind some crates and other clutter that was in here. The fire went over my shoulder. I was stuck between a wall and him now.

His weapon is not some thing familiar. I've lived for a long time and I have not seen that type of military weapon before.

"You can't hide there forever elf. Just accept your fate. It will make it easier for the both of us." Arrogant bastard.

"Last chance." I made a quick observation of his weapon. It took a 5 seconds to reload his weapon. If I can attack him before he uses his weapon I can take him down. But his gift is stopping my attacks.

Corbin raises his weapon. In that moment for slight second. Strands of thin strings appears around the sword. When he swung his sword in my direct it sliced the area in half. 

My mana shield held up. His gift must be physical type. I can't see them still. I reach in my back to grab a glass ball that causes a blinding effect to the area. The mana dimed and I take the chance to attack him. 

I feel the strings hitting me. It did felt like a dull blade. It left bruises rather then deep cuts. I close enough to stab him with my sword. But a strong force stopped my momentum. My sword did not go though him. Underneath his clothes were a thick strand of strings forming into armor. Like chainmail armor.

"Dirty Rat!" I jump away and through more of glass mana tools at him. The blinding hurt the both of us. His way of fighting is putting the way I fight at a disadvantage. If I was a beast-men I could even this out.

Corbin attacks me with rage. We continue on with our fight. In my mind is the only way to win is I need the help from the others.

At the wall the fight continued on. As knights were shooting the Lazare on the ground. Terra and Hen meant with the imperial knights. "The great general Henkeva. Its honor."

"Oran the Dragon and the great assassin Peo. I'm surprised they made you two knights based on your background and history."

"You know these two?" "I do. Before I became the leader of the clan. I was obsessed with traveling. One day I was attacked by monsters and was injured. When I though it was the end for me. A group of adventures had found. These two were amongst them."

"Your were much skinnier back then." "I think were getting off track." "...I agree." 

"I thought royalty and nobility were your enemies Oran." "..." 

"What ever it is. They will not promise anything you want from them." "What about you? You fought the empire and yet your fighting along side a member of royalty that is princess Mia."

"I was fighting against those that have no remorse for life." The difference in their position is different from mind and the general. "Sir. We should start now."

"...Your right...I can handle them by myself." 

"What?" "Things are not going so well. We saw what happened to the castle and inside the city. Things are turning bad from worse now. As much I trust them. Their not strong enough to fight them one on one."

"You want to help them." "Go. Laney and Tise should be find. Its Ivalyo and Alie I'm worried about." Obviously some thing wrong happened. The castle would not be in such a state. "Alright. Stay safe general."

Hen stands of with the two. "You two could still walk away. I don't want to kill you." Oran then states that was not what he taught him. "Protect what you have now. Cause I'm going to be the one to destroy it."

The two imperials attack at the same time. I raise my sword. "Pierce!" Oran kicks Peo to force themselves out of the way of the attack. Peo uses magic to try and restrain Hen. "Crush!" The spells was destroyed instantly.

I jump away to dodge Oran attack that broke the ground in half. "Break!" Suddenly the space around them both had shattered like a glass mirror. There bodies felt heavy and like broken rocks.

"Your gift evolved. Its able to break realty. Creative space, I wonder how you were even born with such a thing."

My gift as he said can alter space and use like drawing paper. Though I am limited both with I can do is powerful still. "I had good teachers. Emalia especially."

Oran activates his blessing. Red lines appeared on his arms and face. I raise my sword to block his attack. My stance was pushed back but I held my ground. "Come on! Show the skill of the general of the Slova!"

Peo runs behind me and unleashes a high voltage of lighting on my body. Oran looked affected by though. I use my gift to increase my kick to push him back. I then elbow Peo in his face. "Pierce!" Peo shield saves him my attack.

Peo hits the side of the wall. Like flash Oran attacked me from the sky. I use my gift to create space barrier my like a mana shield does. 

the space was crackling and humming like dragon from the power of Orans attack. "Oran red lines changed. The lines are spread to his fingers and shoulders now. "A blessing from the god of dragons. I probably should have realized it in your name."

"Break!" I hit him with another break attack. I broke his attack and used pierce on him. Oran skin only bruised. His blessing increased physical resistance!

"Spiral Dust!" Peo who recovered from his daze after my attack earlier. Hits my with a unnatural spell. It was spell not of the usual elements or of any combination of the elements.

My armor is destroyed. It turn into dust..no sand. Peo hits me again. This time I dodged and hit a tree. The tree turned back into a sapling and then turned to sand.

"Your the not the only ones who can change the laws of the universe Hen." Peo rotates his hands to turn a magic circle with hour glass in the middle and reverse his wounds and Orans. 

"The power of time. Otherworldly magic." "Keeping pushing him Oran. I'll reverse any wounds he inflicts on you."

"Good." The marks on his body changed again. Theirs small lumps on them now and writing. His eyes changed to. Like snake.

Oran pressures more. We fight for a bit and every attack was reversed thanks to Peo. His weapon has a distance advantage. Oran his bigger but he's not faster then me."

Suddenly a large rock broke through the wall. Luckily the boulder hit at a higher area of the wall. "Damn it! That stupid king is making this much harder then it has to be!" 

This becoming a stand still right now. Our fight picks up the pace. Suddenly we realized a tear in realty. We stop our fight for the moment."

"What the hell?" Oran doesn't seemed to understand what's happening. "You know what this is Peo. Right?" 

"I do Hen. Time and space are breaking...my and your gift is the cause obviously." "But you won't stop will you."

"..."

"Well both be in a great of trouble. Even the empire and their so call benevolent emperor won't be spared. The mage tower and the holy land won't like interfering with the natural order."

"Well glad where hundreds of miles away from their eyes." On the battle field Servin can sense a tear in realty. "Some is playing with time and space...is it the princess? They wouldn't dare unless there ready for the consequences."

I need to stop them. Maybe if I do...the council will see my deeds and except me as one of them again! "This a great opportunity!" The Lazare knights got close the wall and raised their ladders to climb.

With no leader to guide them the forces of Isabella were panicking. But Cairo had appeared ready to take command. "Everyone stay calm! Your knights of her royal highness! This our home! Defended it with your life!"

The knights looked at each and the fire in theirs ignited again. They yelled and fired down on them. "Defended the great city of Isabella!"
