Chapter 13 - The catalyst

Chapter 13

Guvo- so you're father was the hell bound?!

Crescent- yeah he definitely was and he wiped the floor with most of the infernos most powerful challengers

Guvo- wouldn't they be called demons?

Crescent- not all of them were demons Lax some where powerful anarchists from other realms some where fallen angels and some where demons obviously

Guvo- so what are the other "realms"

Crescent- I only know of 4

Pangea

Inferno

Infinite suspension

And a mysterious one I woke up in for a long time

Guvo- I see

Far away at the town Merlin and the others resided in

Mercy- cmon Merlin wake up…Please..Merlin!

Deep in Merlin's mind he was trapped chains across his body one on his neck and all 4 limbs that went from him to the darkness around him. Merlin had no idea where he was or how he was there but a shadow that looked the same size as him came from the distance.

Merlin- Who.. are you?…

The shadow-…

It wouldn't speak to him nor did Merlin think it could speak. The shadow was completely black and had red beaming eyes without anything else there was no visible mouth. Finally Merlin noticed something he could finally see it's intention it was a pure manifestation of his mana and when he realized this he started to shake in fear. It revealed Twilight and even Merlin himself started feeling dread and fear it was a feeling of true danger and thought to himself that he should never let this power release.

Mercy outside of Merlin

Mercy- MERLIN WAKE UP CMON!

Cassius- he's very strange I can see his mana but he has 2 different kinds and I've never seen ether of them

Mercy- His mana has powers that Darius told me about

Cassius- Darius does seem to know more about this mana than us when he gets back I'll ask him more about it

Somewhere in the moon

Phon- That all Shaow? Show me your darker side

Shaow- huff huff IM MUCH STRONGER THAN I LOOK

Shaow drops into his shadow disappearing

Phon- strange can you make another realm with this ability?

Shaow hops out of Phons Shadow

Shaow- I have been training my abilities sense I was a kid and I won't be stopped now

Shaow kicks him in the face but Phon was unfazed

Phon- your training is going well Shaow but don't get ahead of yourself

Phon lifts his hand up and slams it atop Shaows meddle body flattening him and breaking his spine in the process. Shaow coughs up blood

Shaow- you… underestimate… me

Shaow doesn't move even in the slightest but Phon is dragged into his own shadow

Phon- I see I've been outsmarted and outplayed in my own game I did underestimate you Shaow…

Phon had no idea where he was it was completely black and sounded like he could fall infinitely there was no way out of this realm he had been transported too. Shaow let him out.

Shaow- I'm sorry I wasn't able to let you out sooner you broke my spine and I passed out after I put you in there

Phon- I've only been in there 5 minutes

Shaow- I see… time likely works differently there then.. hmm

Somewhere in Pangea

Adrien- The moon shines brighter ever sense I lost my way to him but I will find him that power… It's not something I can let slide anymore

Lucius- So you plan on killing a young boy because you fear his power?

Adrien- who are you?

Lucius- I am Lucius Guvo of the cursed family

Adrien- the.. cursed family? You mean the family killed by the true flame?

Lucius- well my brothers were killed by the true flame not me

Adrien- how exactly are you so special boy?

Lucius- I'm going to kill your here and now

Adrien- (I see it now he has 3 different mana types it's unheard of)

Lucius was born with violet red and orange mana mastering heat the art of war and curses he was a true monster among any of the Guvo family prior only known for being killed by there brothers true flame although this was there oldest brother who had left a long long time ago before his brothers knew of him.

Lucius- Oh so you're stunned by my mana? I've mastered all three types and can switch between them at will I know of hundreds of attacks and have made many I could kill millions of wizards if they all fought me at once and come out unscathed

Adrien- you seriously think I believe such a thing sure you have 3 different mana types something very special but you think I believe you e mastered all three?

Lucius- That boy that you're trying to kill I know why his power is so special to you and Darius

Adrien- UNRAVEL

The forest they rest in starts to unravel into nothingness but Lucius turns into a Maroon colored mana

Adrien- what is this?

Lucius- I've combined all my mana and turned it into another unheard of mana called deep red

Adrien- let's see how it fairs then Lucius UNRAVEL THE-

Before Adrien could finish his sentence Lucius transported there whole area including them and the forest into another realm they landed on grass

Adrien- ..You transported me?

Lucius- this realm is the my own realm it's infinite and it's where I would rather you use that attack

Adrien- you mean unravel the world? You know what would happen to Pangea already?

Lucius- Pangea is much bigger than you think Adrien you would likely only cause a small whole in the planet

Adrien- you underestimate the power to unravel

Lucius- and you underestimate the size of that planet it's the size of a star even Pangea's moon is far bigger than you think

Adrien- Shut up and show me what you got

Lucius- FULL DEEP RED

Luciuses body wrapped with maroon tattoos and symbols

Adrien- you think a little speed and strength boost can kill me?

Lucius- you think this is just a physical boost?

Lucius punches Adrien from a far distance but it still somehow connects. Adrien stands there and takes it

Adrien- I admit the power in your punch is very potent but it's not enough to even scratch me

Lucius- oh really

Lucius does it a second time. It effects Adrien slightly more than the first

Adrien- do you used your powerful attack to fail?

Lucius- you think so?

Adrien- how exactly can you punch me without wind power from a distance?

Lucius- once my mana comes in contact with the opposite person I can punch them anywhere at any time

Adrien- (I didn't even notice his mana come in contact with me) So those marks?

Lucius- you'll see

Lucius punches him again this time hurting him slightly more

Adrien- Hmm so you can concentrate more and more mana as you go?

Lucius- You just don't get it

The same pattern continues Adrien tries to use his Unraveling ability but it's unable to harm Lucius in that form while Luciuses punches kept getting stronger and stronger

Lucius- you find out yet?

Adrien- Fuck you

Lucius- my attacks get stronger the more they connect with a person

Adrien- pfft it'll take you a hundred years before this could kill me then it only becomes very slightly stronger

Lucius- it may be true it does only become slightly stronger but in this realm I made my opponent becomes more prone to physical magic attacks every 10 minutes

Adrien- it's almost been 10 we'll see how it goes then Lucius

A few minutes pass

Lucius attacks again

Adrien- AUGH.. That actually.. hurt?

Lucius- because I sacrificed 80 years of my life to make this realm I was able to make a realm that made anyone 1000% weaker to physical magic damage every 10 minutes they stay in here so I first had to capture you by touching you with my mana than had to keep you here for 10 minutes before it even effected you in 10 more minutes you'll become 1000% more weak to my attacks as my attacks only get stronger as they connect there is no way out of my realm Adrien you lost.

Adrien- (shit I could use my magic but I must save that for when I fight twilight..Damn not many options)

Lucius- blow after blow how much can your body truly handle Adrien?

Back in Merlin's head

Merlin- What are you?

The shadow continued to not speak and stare

Merlin- im going to leave for now creature but don't show yourself to Pangea you will create fear in the ones I care for most

Merlin wakes up

Merlin- my head oww

Mercy- MERLIN YOU GOD DAMN BUSTARD I FINALLY GOT YOU BACK

Merlin- how long have I been out?

Mercy- about 3 months

Merlin- 3 MONTHS?!

Cassius- calm down kid you'll be fine

Merlin- You are Mercy's dad?

Cassius- yeah I am

Merlin- nice to finally meet you

Cassius- your last name is moon so your father is the fabled Crescent?

Merlin- yeah I guess not much is known about him though I know he's utterly smart and whenever he says something he's right

Cassius- apparently even Fair the Vast trusts him with his own life so I wouldn't doubt it although I've only had bad experiences with Vasts and haven't met Fair.

Merlin- Fair was a nice encounter.. Wait what's been going on the past 3 months why am I here?

Mercy- this is gonna be a long story..

Back to Adrien and Lucius

Lucius- it's been 3 months and you can still handle these punches?

Adrien- I may be much much weaker to your attacks and they continue to become stronger but you still have yet to make me bleed Lucius… you'll die of exhaustion

Lucius- than it's a battle of endurance
