Chapter 37: Difference

The battle continued. "Prepare for close combat!" a soldier shouted when the rebels crossed the imaginary line separating 'range' and 'melee'.

"World Energy: True Release: Claws!" casted Z. He engaged the enemy lines and proceeded to kill a rebel in his first dash.

"Go on, I will support you!" said Lily. "Multi Element: True Manifestation: Swamp monster!"

The giant vines around the battlefield quickly amalgamated into a giant monster made out of vines.

"Destroy them!"

Tens of rebels flew left and right at the might of the monster.

'Let us show off a little too' thought Z. "World Energy: Perfect Manifestation: Spear of Yesterday!"

Although Z had only learned release on mana, and release and manifestation in core, he is already capable of using them to the perfect state. This is the result of his talent for control.

A grand spear manifested right before the hands of Z, it looked like a very imposing spear with its engravings. Although the spear is translucent, it does not stop it from giving an intimidating appearance.

"Swoosh!" it sounded as he swung the spear to cut down the rebels.

"Ah!" a rebel shouted as his arm was suddenly cut down.

"Hahaha! Interesting. Cynosure students never fail to amaze. To think that a young man is capable of

manifesting the spear of yesterday." A man with an eye patch and short black hair appeared in the sky.

He has a muscular physique and is wearing the red and black clothing of the rebels. "Beware of the tracks of the spear. It still cuts even though it has already left the path."

"Rubert!" Tania shouted. "To have the guts to show yourself in front of me again. What a thick face indeed!" her face contorted in displeasure.

"Tania, you have fallen deep within their schemes. What they had done to this world and the hero, to think you still ignored it all."

"What the school did is for the best. It is all for the betterment of this world."

"Betterment? Is that the word used by your fallacious king?"

"How blasphemous!" Tania shouted. "Since you are here, then don't think about leaving!" she added.

"Divine Summon: Six-Winged: Angel!" Suddenly, an enormous portal appeared behind Tania. An angel with six wings appeared above her. "Six-Winged: Angel: Complete Immersion!" The angel quickly combined itself with Tania. Six wings grew on her back and a huge halo above her head condensed. She looks just like the angel before but has her face and body instead.

"It is not fit for you to become an angel!" Rubert shouted. "Bloodline: Lightning Gryphon: Human Form!" A pair of wings quickly sprouted out of his back as his hands and feet became that of a gryphon. He still retained the human nature of his looks but is an unmistakable lightning gryphon.

"An animal indeed!" Tania remarked. "World Energy: Perfect Manifestation: Sword of Light!" she casted, then a sword brimming of divinity appeared in her hands. "You will still bow before me, nothing will change!"

"Hahaha! Time has already surpassed you. You are still just like before." Rubert said. "Let me show you the power of bloodline!" He then lifted his arms and pointed at the sky. "Lightning Gryphon: Memory: Unending Storm!" clouds then proceeded to gather above the entire battlefield as it followed the command of the gryphon. Lightning began to appear in the dark skies right after they gathered. It produced a very scary atmosphere.
