The Dark Sacred

Chapter 25: Conclusions, Plans, and Judgements

 "It's time to go all-out, isn't?" sabay naming sabi. 

 "Spell Technique: Mode: Golden Darkness!"

 "Spell Technique: Full Moon!"

 We both casted a spell technique to increase our magic strength drastically. Not only that, we also did Mana Breathing. 

 I can feel all the magic energy surging to my body. Ramdam ko rin ang di kapani-paniwalang magic energy ni Monco. 

 "Spell Technique: Gold Style: Dark Blow!"

 "Spell Technique: Lunar Punch!"

 My fist became infused with dark energy while his is with gray light. We both aimed a punch at the same time that collided. It created a shockwave that even the magic barriers around can't handle. Nawasak na ang barriers kaya mas lumawak ang covered area ng shockwave. 

 Tinigil agad namin ang laban. Merong ilang tumumbang puno pero thankfully ay di naman ganun kagrabe ang damage. Tinignan ko si Monco kung itutuloy pa ba ang laban o hindi na. 

 "Form another barrier. Our fight's not finished yet," utos niya sa Sacraments. Sinunod naman nila ito kahit na merong pag-aalinlangan. In an instant ay nakakulong na uli kami ni Monco sa barriers. 

 "Now, shall we continue?" sabi niya pagkatapos mabuo ng barrier. 

 "Spell Technique: Solar Wind!"

 Monco fired a mass of golden fire towards my direction. I dodged it then casted a spell technique. 

 "Spell Technique: Gold Style: Dark out!"

 I created a small gold ball on my right palm and threw it him. Tinabig niya lang 'yon na parang may lamok na sinubukan siyang kagatin. 

 Tch. My power's not enough. 

 "Spell Technique: Lunar Ray!"

 Monco fired a energy ray. Sinubukan ko itong ilagan pero sinundan ako nito. 

 This is crazy! Ayaw ako nitong tigilan! Ilang minuto na kong tumatakbo para iwasan 'to pero wala itong awat sa pagsunod sakin. Mukhang wala akong choice kundi i-block ang spell niya. 

 "Spell Technique: Gold Style: Reaping Sickle!"

 I formed a golden death sickle like what I've made earlier. B-in-lock ko ang spell ni Monco gamit 'to. 

 Nang ma-diffused na ang spell niya ay sinugod ko siya gamit 'yon. And he countered me without any weapons. 

 Our fight continued for hours. Feeling ko nga umabot ito ng oras. Halos patas lang ang tindi ng injuries namin pareho. 

 Bumagsak kami pareha sa lupa nang maubusan na kami ng magic energy. The sun is already setting. Natatawa kaming dalawa sa resulta ng laban namin. 

 "Masyado mo kasing ginalingan, eh. 'Yan tuloy, draw pa kinalabasan," natatawa kong wika sa kanya. 

 "Tss. It's you. 'di ka masyadong nagsipag sa training, eh," natatawa ring sabi niya. 

 "Ano, hihiga na lang kayo dalawa riyan?" Alicia asked.

 "The sun is already setting, if you didn't notice," Rob added. 

 "Nah. Let us take a rest," sabay naming sabi.

Erthus's Point of view

 I smirked as I read the information about that kid. His quite strong. Kahit 'di niya i-consider ang pagtalo niya sa talunang si Gruvin, he can still be considered strong. 

 Ibinalik ko kay Lord Night ang mga papel. "He's quite interesting," I commented. 

 He smirked. "Ayon sa spies ay nagte-training siya ngayon. I think he's stronger when the two of you meet," he said. 

 "But not as strong as me," I said proudly.

 "Let me just remind you, Erthus. Wag kang gagaya sa walang kwentang Gruvin na 'yon. You know what I do to people who betrays my trust," he said with emphasis on his last sentence. 

 "Of course, my lord. Leave it all to me," I replied which made him smirk. 

 "Now, for the plan..." he said tapos tumalikod para kunin ang isa pang folder. Ibinigay niya ito sakin. 

 I was amazed with the plan written on the folder. Mukhang pinag-isipan talagang maiigi. The plan was smooth from start to finish. 

 "We will execute the plan next month, the moment the sun rises on the month's first day. Nakasulat na naman diyan lahat ng kailangan mong gawin. Read every single word in that document. Understood?" he said. 

 "Yes, sir," I replied respectfully.

Someone's Point of view

 Laxibe Ignite. The man that I hate the most. Alam kong wala siyang alam kung bakit ako galit sa kanya, but I still hate him. Especially his grandfather, Gillerio Ignite. 

 "Nabalitaan mo na ba?" tanong sakin ni ate habang nakatingin sa litrato ni Ignite. 

 "Ang alin?" sagot ko naman. 

 "Ignite defeated Gruvin one time."

 "Tch."

 Napailing siya sa reaksyon ko. "Alam ko ang reaksyon na 'yon. Don't forget our real mission. 'Wag kang magpadala sa galit mo sa kanya."

 "Don't worry, sis. Alam ko ang dapat kong gawin," sabi ko na nakapagpatango-tango sa kanya. 

 "But I'll still beat him," dagdag ko. 

 Napailing na lang siya. She held the bridge of her nose before going out. Napangisi ako sa kanya. 

 She doesn't have to worry. No matter what I do to him, his judgement will come to us all. His supreme power will punish all sacreds of their sins. 

 Creydus's judgement will come soon.
