《Master of Cards. *Reborn*》Chapter 42 : Lee vs Kael.
Advertisement
"Come on!" Kael shouted as he drew a card from his deck, so did Lee.
"Ace of Hearts! Ravage the one before me!" The two of them chanted as the flames erupted from the back of the card to their opponents. Kael and Lee watched their flames clash with one another. Both black,white,blue and red flames continued to counter each other. The flames spiraled to strike their opponents.
"Queen of Hearts! Turn my flames into righteous fury!" The cards shattered as the flames spiraled upwards, raining down upon Kael and Lee like hail. They were dodging each other's attacks with ease. Though Kael had to expect this. This Lee may just be a copy, but they did a decent job at getting the powers right. Kael is going to need to prime a few spells which he took from the Four Aces and the Joker. This will need time to prepare.
Kael then threw his 7 of Diamonds at Lee. Raising his right hand as he formed a fist.
"7 of Diamonds. Barrier!" The barrier formed over Lee, Lee readied a counter attack.
"Reverse Joker, DIspel this barrier before me!" Lee shouted, shattering the barrier as Kael drew another card.
"The Four Kings. Turn my enemy into dust!" The fire, ice, wind and earth took shape as four blades striking Lee who countered with the same cards. The blades clashed with one another as Lee and Kael traded blows with their fists.
The two of them did not say anything much, they just continued swinging blows. One to the jaw which caused Lee to recoil to the back. Spitting out the blood off his mouth. Kael looked at his fist, it was a bit of a sore. Some mucus on it.
Lee went in with a shoulder charge, a punch to Kael's right rib. Kael heard it crack, his body flinched from the hit. Then using his knee, striking Lee's stomach. A head butt to Lee as they both took a step back from each other. Kael's armor vanished and Lee's clothes vanished. They were only wearing their pants and letting their bodies face the unrelenting elements tha spiraled all around them. Their blades continuing an onslaught of violence that was right behind them.
Olympus was tearing by the seams. The buildings that have been made by the divine were flying all around them. Being pushed around by the elements. The clash of blades created shockwaves and rumbling all around them. Kael and Lee charged at each other, their fists made contact. Each strike trying to overpower one another.

Their attacks were mirroring each other, Kael raised his leg. A fast strike which was blocked by Lee who grabbed his shoe. Then throwing Kael back and charging after him. Kael landed on his feet, then lowered his body to the ground and took Lee's charge head on. Kael's grip went after Lee's thighs, a headbutt to disorient Lee and a throw to the side. Lee bounced back from it, recovering with a flip. Darting off a boulder as he went straight at Kael with the fist.
Kael dodged it, then grabbing Lee's arm throwing Lee down. The four aces and joker were ready and the spell collected by Kael's right arm, where Kael punched the downed Lee. Striking Lee's chest, who looked at him with a smile.
"Losing to the current you... It bothers me a lot."
"That's cause your pathetic." Kael answered as the elements swallowed Lee whole, erasing him from the plane of existence. The swords that were brought here with Lee? They faded and turned to dust. If their owner is gone, then they can no longer exist.
Kael headed up to Olympus, seeing the Supreme Beings stuck to the wall. Lucius was lighting a cigar as he looked at the Supreme Beings of Melvoris. The angels, deities and gods came to the halls of the Supreme Beings.
"How dare you do this, Lucius! Do you not have any fear for the other Supreme Beings?!" Kael just did not look at the angel who spoke with a careless mouth, Kael gestured silence. Tapping his index finger to his lips three times. Where the angel had their entire wings be pulled out of their back. Falling to her knees, then watching as her limbs be stretched apart until her blood splashed all over.
"Which reminds me..." Lucius took out a ball and crushed it. Where Kael and Lucius were now in a void. Kael standing as a human while Lucius was this gigantic being with an armor that was fitting for a dragon. They stood in a corporeal realm where only Supreme Beings may enter, as Kael looked around to see the many other deities that were present. These were the Supreme Being of every realm imaginable.
"What... Lucius... You're bringing this to them!? How dare you!" The shackled Supreme One spoke only to be silenced by the other Surpeme Beings. Kael could see the Goddess of Seasons smiling at him.
"Lucius, do tell us what is the purpose of this?" The Goddess of Seasons asked.

"Trying to merge Earth and their Melvoris together, Etana. Though I am ashamed to admit that they did throw my avatar to your realm." Lucius spoke to her where Etana chuckled.
"Oh, don't worry about that. Avatar of Destruction, your weapon... Ice Reaper, is a strong ally to my Lord of Thorns. I am grateful for your kindness." Etana said with a smile.
"I saw the look in that kid's eyes. He's just living his first hell. I went through 52. Now I'm back to make sure my first one goes right. Ice Reaper will be a good ally for him. That much I am certain... But if he ever needs anything else. Feel free to just let me know. I've got a few hundred blades that could use a new master. Seems like he's piqued their interest." Kael spoke casually, normally when speaking to Supreme Beings. Speaking casually would invite harm but the other Supreme Beings were fine with it.
"Always so casual and always a meddler." One of the other ones spoke, but it was in jest and not of irritation.
"Hey, when I was Lee i saved your dimensions and fought your wars. The least I get to do is be an ass about it." Kael said as the Supreme Beings laughed.
"Of course, Avatar. I'll leave the option available for him, but he must earn it and... May I trouble you to have a few fights with him when he gets stronger?" Etana asked.
"Sure. I mean, fighting an unstable 19 year old who is unhinged and on the verge on insanity has always been my favourite past time anyway. But if you want me to be sure, it might take me a while to even cause him hurt. That Endurance of his? I have to make sure my blades are in their true forms to do it. Besides, I know why you need him. You want to make an experiment to see if he can be match up to me." Kael's words made Etana nod, not with a smile but with a bit of a nervousness to her eyes.
"You could destroy us, Avatar and you can do that at any time. Surely you cannot blame me for wishing to have an alternative to defend my home if you ever do that?" Etana asked as the others nodded to her words.
"Of course not. Just make sure you can reign the ones you choose carefully. Because if you did succeed to create someone of my strength.. Be it in a group of people, an individual or a beast. There will be hell to pay and only the corporeal realm be able to handle it. We do this anywhere else and world's would be destroyed. I'm not one to go on a limb out for no reason. I've had enough of my fair share of destruction. I just want to live with my family. Only reason why I destroyed their Melvoris is because it was on the verge of dying. I might as well just put it out of its misery, and they were trying to blame it on a young god in Lucius's care. That and they got my younger brother involved. Now, you all know how I feel when family gets into such situations right?" Kael was sound with his words, not eloquent but it was assuring for them to hear that the Avatar of Destruction just wanted to be with his family.
"Look. Young Gods, Deities and Supreme Beings. I don't generally give a rat's ass about a lot of things, but what I will say this. Don't get them caught up in schemes like this again. You're Supreme Beings. You're the authority on Gods. Don't drag the young ones to blame for your messed up schemes. Don't make it worse for others. That's all I ask." Kael replied as he lit a cigar while Lucius sat on his throne, tapping the armrest of his chair.
"We are in agreement, Avatar of Lucius. Not only due to your powers but also due to your nature. We also agree to handle these matters accordingly. We need to make our decisions on such matters as to who shall be our equal to Kael." The Supreme Beings chorused.
"Now... Let's just settle with matters regarding these idiots?" Kael asked.
"Of course... Do as you please Avatar. We will bear witness." Kael walked on over to the chained Supreme Beings. Now this was something that must be paid in accordance to their destruction. So Kael was going to do what he does best. One that is preferred to be left unsaid for even the Supreme Beings could not watch.
