《The Aria Chronicles》Blood Burn III
Advertisement
I flashed toward Orc Blood at my greatest speed, this is a great chance to kill it in a single attack, only after killing it will I be able to get out of here.
In a second, I reached close to it and swung my Saber at ist neck, wanting to slice off its Head.
It saw my saber speedily closing in on its neck in a weird fashion as earlier, it may look very slow, but it knows it is very fast, and if it lets it get too close to its neck, then there is no saving it.
“Don’t underestimate me!” It thundered furiously as my Saber reached halfway, and the next moment, I saw the blood fumes around its body, getting thicker and teacher. With the thick blood fuse, its aura is also rising exponentially.
As its aura rose rapidly, so is the speed of its Axe, which appeared in the way of my Saber when it had reached very close to its neck.
CLANG!
The Saber and Ax clashed with the force that created deafening sound, the clash was very powerful, but all I felt was a tingle, but that is not what I am focusing on, I am focusing on the Orc Blood who unlike last time, did not move back uncontrollably, just shook a little.
Its face looks ugly, but soon, it transformed into that of Ecstacy, “Good good, I've never expected a Baron could even comprehend Mystic.”
“With you comprehending Mystic, your price has gone up, now my brother will have to pay three-times more for you.” It said with a laugh.
I did not get angry at its provocations; instead, I attacked it again this time, focusing more power and Mystic into my Saber.
Seeing my Saber coming at it, its face became serious against and swung its Axe at me.

It did not move toward my Saber but directly went for me. It seemed to guess the flexibility problem of my Saber moves due to me not being proficient in the usage of Mystic.
Though it is right, I am not proficient in using Mystic; that does not mean I do not have any proficiency enough to defend myself. If I were not confident in defending myself against such attacks, I would not have used Saber to fight.
CLANG!
My Saber took the elliptical path, and a moment later, it crashed against the head of the Orc Bloods Axe, and just as I clashed, my Saber moved back before going forward directly toward the neck of Orc Blood.
Orc Blood got alarmed and moved its Axe for the defense, it was able to defend against it, but it had to take a step by due to the force it felt, which again gave me a window of the attack.
CLANG CLANG CLANG...
The Orc Blood is a very experienced fighter, it quickly defended white taking a step back, but I am not going to let off till I killed it, so I launched another attack and then another, each one of the attacks aimed at its fatal spot.
I started to attack it intensely, not wanting to give it a chance to take a break, and it is working. The powerful attacks of mine are like a thousand Kg Sledgehammer. Each attack would make it a step back and shake its body all over.
As I continued to attack, I felt my mastery over Mystic is slowly advancing. With its advancement, I started to project more power and speed into my attacks, which is making Orc Blood's condition worse as all it could do is defend, and that is albeit barely.

We are moving all over the cavern; it is taking steps back in retread while I am advancing at it with the offensive.
CLANG! Puh
Another attack of mine was barely able to defend against, and this time something amazing happened, it puked blood and a large mouthful of it, and inside the blood, I could see bits and pieces of its internal organs.
From my fighting the Orc Blood, I had noticed that Mystic does not only make faster and stronger; it also releases some kind of destructive energy. I was not sure of it at first, as I thought it was just gritting its teeth due to immense force that came at it after each clash.
But in repeated observation, I found that Mystic had released some kind of destructive energy which wrecked the enemy’s body, and as I saw its bits of its internal organ in its puked blood, I have become even more sure.
“Bitch, you have angered me. Now even if I have to injure myself heavily to beat you to a pulp, I will do it.” It shouted in a fury, and next moment I saw even more Blood Fumes coming out of its body, and these Blood fumes are considerably darker and with a dense aura of Blood in them.
‘It is like, it's burning its blood.’ I thought, and just that moment, I saw its body is getting thinner and thinner as its aura started to, it seemed like it was really burning its Blood.
“Hehe!”
Seeing its aura rising, I attacked. I did not want to give it any chance to increase its strength, seeing my Saber coming it laughed before slashing at Ax at my Saber.
CLANG!
As our weapons clashed, the first time felt more than a tingle, and even some bloody energy tried to infiltrate me, but it was crushed by the cover Mystic that I have around me.
The Mystic I comprehended does not only apply to my Saber from which I am attacking but to me, too, as I am the center of the Mystic. If Saber is the Celestial body, then I am that humongous Moon that it is orbiting.
So, most of the power of Mystic is concentrated on me, and so foreign energy infiltration would have to breach the defense of my Mystic.
“Bitch, you have forced me to use this move and bear the wrath of it.” Orc Blood said as blood fumes stopped coming out of its body.
It had a very threatening aura and even more threatening appearance, from the big beefy body, it had turned thin as a stick that even bone could be seen sticking to his skin.
It looked like a devil that is covered in Blood red fumes, and now that devil had cleaved its ax at me, it created such power that even I started shaking from it, but that did not stop me from reacting.

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]
