《Reborn: Last Chance to Ascend》53. Purge, part 2
Advertisement
Magical energy around a light man kept whirling in such condensation that it looked like a tornado made out of the light.
'Idiot, does he really think that I will let him cast without bothering?'
Four spheres of magenta solar matter formed in front of me and started to orbit me. Then I poured even more mana, and four more spheres appeared and joined the rest of the orbiting [Death-Sun Solarbomb]'s.
With a swing of the hand, I sent all of them flying towards a light man. In the meantime, I started to pour out pure plasma while using a [Plasmakinesis] to gather it around me.
Suddenly a winged man appeared speeding towards my [Death-Sun Solarbomb]s and swung his sword towards the two closest to him. His sword glowed in brilliant blue light, and when it touched the sphere of solar matter, they quickly started to decrease in size before disappearing.
However, six other solar bombs already passed by the winged man and continued towards a light man who looked towards them but remained standing on a spot.
Fireballs almost reached him when a barrier appeared around him, intercepting all solar bombs. Six magenta solar flares exploded in close succession, sending small shockwaves through the ruined building.
With a look of determination, a winged man spread his wings and speeded up towards me with a glow on his sword, increasing every moment. When he was only five meters from me, his whole body swelled up, growing almost to twice his original size.
I redirected a portion of plasma towards him.
Plasma moved like a sea wave during a storm, and he brought his sword up forward. A wave of plasma reached his sword splitting around its blade-like water around a stone.
The Winged man glowed in orange light, repelling plasma away from his body.
I used a [Telekinesis] and pushed again with even greater pressure.
The sound of gritting teeth came to me as the winged man stopped mid-air bracing with his swords against a plasma. With each second amount of my plasma kept decreasing together with a brilliance of glow surrounding man's sword.

Then I vanished, the enemy with his whole view obscured by my plasma didn't notice before I appeared right behind him with my claws covered in magenta flames fully erected. I stabbed with them towards a place where should be a hearth.
Man instinctively reacted with a gasp and movement to the side. But he was too slow. My long claw reached his back and pierced through the orange glow, his skin and bones without any resistance. They reached his heart-piercing it while exploding in flames.
"Aghh," man let out the last sound before he limply fell from a sky.
"One more to go!" I loudly announced, causing a light man to look directly at me. His face was surprisingly young and fully covered in sweat. His eye kept glowing a shining white light as a light attributed mana poured through his whole body.
I waved my hand, and all of the plasma around me ejected itself towards a light man. His eyes opened wide, and a mana construct around him collapsed as he launched it prematurely to counter my attack.
A wave of a shiny brilliant light met with a wave of magenta plasma, mixing with each other while annihilating pieces of each other in a violent storm. A wave of energy generated by a battle of elements spreads to the surrounding, turning surrounding stones under a wind-down into molten lava.
My mana started to decrease rapidly as a wind dome started to absorb immense heat and light.
Light man's whole body started to tremble under immense pressure while he kept crying in an attempt to bolster all of his will to keep light pouring, "Ahhhh!"
Soon like a toy that ran out of batteries, his body collapsed, and waves of light pouring out of him vanished. Plasma quickly moved forwards filling a space previously occupied by the light. It reached a collapsed light man almost instantly.
Plasma enveloped his body before it disintegrated in heat.

I swept through the ruins with my gaze. Only two auras were remaining. Both of them were underground. They were moving around, making me assume that they weren't buried under the ruins but that they were instead in some kind of underground space.
I wanted to dig towards them with my spells, but then I realised something and looked in a direction from where came three attackers, and there it was. Small looking stairs covered in still cooling down lava were there.
'I will go check it. I really want to know what are they hiding there. Maybe I will find some treasures or some secret spell books... Nah, I know that I am expecting too much, but one needs to dream.'
I moved my hand and sent out a sweep of cold wind, cooling down the whole ruins. Then I landed close to the stairs and slowly walked towards them.
Torches were extinguished during an attack, so the staircase was covered in darkness as I slowly descended downstairs.
There was such eerie silence that each of my steps resonated through the surrounding like thunder.
I kept descending deeper and deeper until a light appeared on a small corridor one floor under me. I carefully entered a corridor and continued walking until I spotted that a few stones on the floor were glowing in a dim magical aura.
'Is it trap? I wasn't really expecting something as stupid as placing traps into the middle of the corridor. That is like asking for a horrible accident to happen.' I shook my head and stepped over the stone.
I walked down the corridor avoiding trapped stones in the floor until I reached an open room. Wooden boxes were over the whole room, together with empty shelves and a circle of the burned floor in the middle of the room.
'As expected, they already burned all of their papers.'
I quickly looked for the auras, and I found two of them quickly moving away.
'Huh? They are escaping...' I frowned while casting a [Penetrating Scan] to search for any secret passage. My magical energy spread through the surrounding penetrating walls, sending a 3D image of the surrounding into my mind.
'There is definitely a tunnel behind this wall.'
I blinked to the tunnel behind a wall. A thick, putrid smell filled my nostrils, and some liquid filled my boots. Everything was dark, but I could see fine as I saw in a much broader spectrum than that of visible light.
I almost gauged as I realised my situation, 'I teleported into dirty sewers... And I got that shit into my boots. At least this explains how they were moving so far underground. They were using sewers to move around a city.'
Auras kept moving, distancing from me, so I put all of my strength into my legs while using a [Wind Dash] and launched myself like a torpedo in the direction of auras.

Kill 10 Rats
You awake in the middle of an unfamiliar woods with nothing but a knife and a pair of pants. You have no idea where you are, how you got there, or even what your name is. Noob Slayer is an average college student, part time computer repair guy, and a full time gamer. He awakes to find himself in a world he does not understand. Follow him as he explores this new world, looks for answers, and tries to remember his name. Authors Note: This is a side-project I started after being widely stumped trying to write another book. It is my first attempt to actually post something I've written online, but don't be afraid to be brutal. Improving myself is why I wanted to write this in the first place. I know the VRMMO genera is a bit over-done but hopefully it has a few good stories left to tell. Warning: This is written in the first person. Will contain brutal fight-scenes, bad pop-culture references, a ton of MMO-tropes, and possibly some light sex if the MC doesn't screw it up too badly.
