Twin Soul

Chapter 6: (7/8)

After his battle with Harbek, Etgar realized that his progress into Saint-tier was not enough to overthrow the Mages Council. There are numerous level 100 Saint-tier Mages such as Noe Clerico that Etgar could not win against even on a one versus one duel. Especially at his current level 51, unless he possessed a thousand Magical Blood Equipment such as Blood Rings and Blood Pendants which is impossible since the whole Blood Mages Guild doesn't even have five hundred Magical Blood Equipment. Magical Blood Stones are extremely rare to find and will be destroyed upon discovery by the Mages Council. Therefore, Etgar will not dream of keeping a thousand of Magical Blood Equipment all to himself.

"Linette, my love. I may not be strong enough to face the Mages Council head-on right now, but I will personally chop down Vonda Hardy's head as promised." Etgar made a statement while closing his eyes, memorizing about Linette Whitfield.

"Etgar, you must leave while you still have a chance. At your current level, you are just a burden to me." Linette told Etgar when they were surrounded by Executioner Hardy and her twelve Saint-tier warriors.

"Linette, we have promised to be together eternally. If I leave, how can you get out of here alive?"

"Silly, there is no way for me to survive this. The best I can do is keep them busy for you to escape."

"No, I refused to do that. I won't leave you."

"Etgar, you are the only one that can escape between the two of us. Here, take this. This is the last Blood Ring I have. The blood pool inside is large enough for you to use [Wind Walk] six weeks straight without rest."

"No, we can survive out of here together just like we have done before."

"Etgar, leave! Please leave... Please do it for me."

Tears ran down from Etgar's eyes as he took the Blood Ring from Linette's hand and casted [Wind Walk] to fly away.

"Executioner Hardy, we will chase after that boy." One of the Saint-tier warriors said.

"None of you f**kers can touch my Etgar while I'm still alive!" Linette shouted as she casted [Summon Demon Lord]. A four arms, two heads male Demon that had a pair of demon wings on his back was summoned. Linette ordered the Demon Lord to block the Saint-tier warriors' pathway, preventing them from chasing after Etgar.

[Summon Demon Lord], level 40 Black spell that can randomly summon one of the Demon Lords in Hell Realm. All Demon Lords are ultimately strong but their true power will be restricted in Toria Continents because they were forced to be scaled with the casters' level.

Linette then casted [Demon Anatomy I] combined with [Abyssal Flesh] to transform herself into a Flesh Demon that was twice stronger in physical power compared to regular [Abyssal Flesh].

Executioner Hardy shook her head while she casted her unique created Saint-tier Fire spell [Frumgar]. A giant Flaming Dragon approximately longer than two thousand feet appeared in the sky above Vonda and she commanded it, "Frumgar, finish that female Blood Mage quick because we still have a male Blood Mage to hunt after that."

That was the last thing Etgar could see and heard of Linette's last battle using his [Wind Detection] and [Whispering Wind].

Etgar closed his eyes and all he saw was how Linette Whitfield sacrificed herself to saved him. Etgar was only twenty-eighth (28) years old and newly stepped into the rank of Legend-tier Mage which was level 31. He was too weak to even fight with the twelve Saint-tier warriors that served Vonda. in front of Executioner Hardy, Etgar was just an ant that she could easily crush. Linette was physically strong because she was a level 44 Legend-tier Blood and Black Mage. Even so, there was no possibility that Linette could survive that battle because Vonda was a level 82 Saint-tier Fire Mage at that time. Their level gap was like the sky and the ground.

"Bitch, not only I will chop down your head, but I will massacre your entire Hardy Family." Etgar angrily made a statement while tears ran down from his eyes memorizing his lover, Linette Whitfield.

Back at the tournament of Flumen city. Round two of the second-day Student Mages Battle Tournament. Unlike the first day, all the teams that have won were given thirty days to rest so any killed team members who were revived can have enough time for their mana pools to regenerate. But in the second round, any Student Mages that were killed will be eliminated after being revived. Winning teams will continue to move forward regardless of lacking team members. Jaanes team made it to the second day of round two but only Jaane and Adela were still alive while Ana, Golda, Rosa, and Calley were killed and revived. Adela and Jaane will have to face the Novice Student Mages of Malcus. Malcus is the capital city belonging to the Kingdom of Qarte located in the remote Northwest of Toria Continents. The Novice Team of Malcus also has two members left. Therefore, it will be two versus two.

Adela took a deep breath and asked, Jaane, are you ready for our next match? Jaane nodded in response.

Each of us has one attack spell, one defense spell, and one healing spell. For defense and heal, we dont have to rely on each other. But for the offensive, we will need to work with each other if we want to win. Do you agree? Jaane nodded again in response.

Jaane, we will proceed as planned then.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's see which team will move forward into the semi-final. On the left, we have two Novice Mages of Nosh, Adela Hindergrass, and Jaane Almos. On the right, we have two Novice Mages of Malcus, Helm Cockcroft and Juliana Bryman." The arena announcer announced.

Helm Cockcroft, sixteen years old Thunder Mage. Juliana Bryman, sixteen years old Fire Mage.

The signal was fired to indicate a battle has started.

Helm casted [Thunder Step] to increase his movement speed and sprinted behind Adela while Juliana casted [Fireball] five times toward Jaane.

Adela casted [Circle of Protection] on herself when Helm appeared behind her and casted his [Thunder Strike] spell. Jaane casted [Stone Skin] on herself to absorb Juliana's Fireballs. Four Fireballs were absorbed while the last one broke Jaane's [Stone Skin] and heavily wounded her. Jaane was knocked to the ground while continuing to receive burned injuries caused by the last Fireball. Juliana quickly chained for another [Fireball] to finish Jaane.
