《The Prophecy Of The Four Kings》Chapter 27
Advertisement
Aster jumped back, avoiding the stream of flames heading towards him, he could feel the heat of the flames as though he was standing right inside of them, the presence of such intense heat is exactly what made him able to perceive the chilling feeling approaching him from another direction, he quickly leaned forward dropping his body to the ground dodging the sharp ice shards that were aimed at his head, Levant and Polaris grinned at the same time,
Aster could sense it, the space around Levant and Polaris grew denser, he could tell they were both ready to attack,
“got you”, Levant shouted as, water and fire barreled towards aster as he was crouching,
A thundering sound rang out into the air, a steam cloud erupted from where aster stood, but much to the dismay of Levant and Polaris, a dome of earth formed around aster,
“well after all this time i wasn’t expecting it to be easy”, Polaris said,
“tell me about, not to mention he has the most fighting experience out of the three of us”, Levant said, landing next to Polaris in a fury of flames,
“well lets finish this fight”, Polaris said, with ice forming around his hands,
he dashed forward, circling the dome that aster was in, with each step he took the ground froze, the ice spreading in the direction of aster, until the dome was completely frozen, covered in flames, levant jetted over the top of the dome, he coiled back his arm clenching his fist tighter while heating it up,he punched forward, cherry red flames erupted from his fist, jetting forward and hitting the dome super heating it, causing it to explode, a dust cloud appeared because of the explosion, sending chunks of rocks and dirt flying off in all directions, Levant was pushed back due to the shear force of the explosion, he flew through the air, using his flames to soften his impact,

“ahh shit, used to much fire power on that last attack”, Levant said, to himself, as he rolled over on the ground coughing from al of the dust, as he pushed himself back up, Levant balled his fist, pointing them at the ground, flames began pouring out of them, as he propelled himself into the air once more,
a body of sand whipped out of the dust cloud, attacking Levant off guard catching him in the air and then slamming him into the ground, and pinning him there, the sand coiled around him tightly, as it began to squeeze Levant began to heat up his body in an attempt to escape, but what he didn’t realize was, the sand had large chunks of ice within it, that was helping the sand to cool down as he was heating it up,
“what the fuck, I can’t get out of this”, Levant said, his body temperature skyrocketing, as fire began pouring itself off of his skin,
Polaris looked around confused, hearing when Levant got slammed into the ground, but before he could do anything, pillars of earth were flying at him, all he could do was dodge them, but he had his hands full just doing that, but he hadn’t noticed while dodging all of those pillars that he was dancing right into aster’s hands,
“gotcha”, shouted aster,
“what”, Polaris thought to himself, that’s when he noticed, the ground beneath him had gotten softer, and the dust had finally cleared, he was standing in sand now and he was starting to sink into the ground , Polaris realized he was still able to move and the pillars were still coming, but every time he landed his feet would sink deeper and deeper,
“this is getting annoying’, Polaris thought to himself, he exhaled, his breath leaving his mouth as frost, ice began forming itself on his skin, it crept up his arm and started covering his chest, at the same time the sand had began to freeze due to the extreme cold, this allowed Polaris to free himself, but he could feel the strain this put on his body, with each passing moment he could feel the energy leaving his body,

he kept dancing and weaving his way around the pillars of earth that were still being hurled at him, the ice now covering most of his body and it began creeping towards his face now,
this kept going on until Polaris couldn’t dodge the pillars anymore, Aster could sense it, however faint it was, he could sense the air around Polaris become lighter, he knew he was weakening, Aster dashed forward sending whips of sand from each side hitting Polaris knocking him out and imprisoning him,
“now all that’s left is to deal with Levant, i know that wasn’t enough to take him down”, aster thought to himself, he could feel the fatigue from fighting the both of them, they had been at it for at least three to four hours, he could feel the heaviness in his legs, and his body began to feel sluggish from using his powers for at such a high output for so long, he imagined that feeling to running a marathon at full speed without taking a break,
Never the less, Aster walked over to where Levant was, but what he saw was the sand that was suppose to be holding him down was turned to glass,
“well now its really over”, shouted Levant,
Aster looked up seeing Levant above him,
“ now lets see you dodge this”, Levant shouted,
he pushed both hands out in front of him, both of them heating up until steam came off of his body and his hands started to turn red, the air around him started to evaporate, and the space started distort into a heat haze, Aster could feel the danger of this attack,
LUNAR NOVA:ERUPT”, he shouted out, a giant pillar of flames erupted out of his palms, plummeting down towards aster,
aster reacted quickly by forming a shield of earth in front of him, but that didn’t work as the rocks melted, aster barely managing to dodge, as the flames rained down on him, and scorching the earth all around him even burning away some of the trees, after the flames cleared and died down Levant landed,
Aster was down on one knee, as he looked over at levant, Aster could feel the heaviness in his chest, his hands felt numb, and his legs as heavy as the boulders he commands,
“alright alright i give up, I’m spent”, Aster said, throwing his hands in the air, falling to the ground as the last bit of energy left his legs,
“Lev are you trying to burn down the whole hideout ?’, Aster said, his voice a bit sarcastic, as he began to chuckle to himself,
“ the whole point of these training fights is to get us prepared for that tough bastard”, Levant said to Aster,
“yeah, Yeah, I know”,aster said, getting up and, he made his way to Polaris, who was still knocked out from his attack earlier, throwing Polaris over his shoulders,
“well its only been two months you can’t expect to beat both of us in that space of time now do you, though you very nearly did”, Levant stated as the two were walking back to the hideout,
Yumi watched from the top of the hideout as the two boys approached the building, with Polaris unconscious over Aster’s shoulder,
“not bad you two making this much progress in two months I’m impressed”, yumi said , jumping down from the roof, as aster threw Polaris off his shoulders and onto the ground,
“now for this last month I’m personally putting you three through hell”, yumi said grinning ear to ear.
