《Tales Of The Dark Mage: New Moon| Part I》Chapter 54: Invasion Arc Part 3 (Anniversary Chapter)

Peyton: You have to heal him! Or he's going to die! Sora: I must conserve my mana to the fullest. Deshon is a C-class mage, right? Why would I save someone like that in this scenario? De'Niro: It's the right thing to do. Peyton: And aren't you a hero? Sora: Never call me a hero. I despised that title. De'Niro: But aren't you Sophia's hero? You saved her. So that means you're a hero. Sora: Say one more word out of you about this hero crap, and I swear to God! Sophia: Heal him. Just do it for me. Sora: Fine, but he gets the bare minimum. Peyton: Thank you, now heal him.
Sora: I will, but first, I want to heal Vivi. Life Magic: Healing Pulse. A light green aura surrounded my right index and middle finger, then I progressed to touch Valencia's ankle. Her ankle swelling went down, and her ankle went back to normal. Valencia: My ankle never felt this good in a long time! Thank you. Sora: Don't mention it. Now time for you, Deshon. Water Magic: Healing Bubble. A refrigerator-sized bubble encases the bloody battered Deshon. The blood covering him is slowly being cleansed away. Some of his wounds are slowly closing up. De'Niro: What about that dang on mace in his freaking head?! Sora: It's better to leave it there. If I take it out, he might die before I can do anything for him. He needs a hospital for that. But if it slowly falls out naturally, then he might be adequate. Because of the bubble healing effect, he won't die instantly if it falls out. And the bubble is tough as steel, so don't worry about the mace falling out.
Peyton: What if that was Sophia? Sora: If that was Sophia, I would be performing surgery to ensure she sustains any further brain damage. Peyton: Why can't you treat people equally?! Sora: Because they aren't important to me. Well, in a dangerous situation like this. I simply don't care, not one bit. Deshon can die right now; I wouldn't care. My conscience is clear as long as my mistress is safe and well. Peyton: Why, you little piece of garbage! Sophia: Don't worry, Deshon will live, trust me. Sora's spell Healing Bubble is probably the best choice. The spell doesn't take much mana, and it's effective. And it can protect Deshon from danger as well. Peyton: Sora, would you use this on Sophia? Sora: Yes, but I would use a superior version of the spell. Peyton: Just go! Sora: If you say so.

When did Kane get back?! And the wound on his neck is gone! Valdis and Kane are staring each other down. And Kane is using two long swords! Valdis is using his white katana blade just with one hand.
I dropped down from the skybox and rushed towards Valdis. Valdis slightly turned his head towards me and let out a small chuckle. Kane looks fired up to see me here with them. Kane threw his long sword outside of the stone tablet platform. And made a black round shield appear on his right arm. The white markings of the shield appear to be some ancient mage text. I think it says, "Death awaits my enemy." or something like that.
Kane: You finally decided to join in the battle. Your name is Sora Hestia, the third son of Maina. I have seen your fights, and I'm still not impressed. You have a lot to live up to, boy! Do you really think I squirt like you can beat me?! Sora: You were almost killed just a few minutes ago. I have some doubts about your power, Kane. Valdis: You got your hands full with me, Kane. I think your arrogance has blinded you. Sora: Vivi! Recover your mana first, then jump in this fight if it isn't over yet!!! Valencia: Got it!

Kane: I guess I will give you this courtesy. I will use thirty percent of my power. Valdis & Sora: How kind of you! Kane slightly bent his back and knees and tucked in his arms. Then proceeds to yell for a couple of seconds. Then a yellow mana aura encircled his entire body. The stone tablet platform began to rumble. Kane's mana aura kept expanding. Then out of nowhere, Valencia was in mid-air right behind Kane. She has a pair of black daggers with curved black blades coated in cyan frost. And she swiftly stabs both sides of Kane's neck. Kane tried to reach Valencia, but Valencia took her blades out of his neck and dropped down.
Kane turns around and tries to bash Valencia with his shield. But Valencia slid underneath Kane's legs and slashed up Kane's hamstring muscles. When Valencia rose back up, she grabbed Kane's dreads and dragged him down to his back. Kane attempted to jump up from his back, but Valencia sat him back down. By conjuring up an ice spear and stabbing through Kane's sternum. I definitely heard something break. Kane immediately ripped out the spear. Valencia backflipped all the way back to us. Kane got up and covered up his wound with his right hand. Kane gave us a hostile glare, a face contorted amidst rage; he bared his teeth.
Kane: Why, you little bitch!!! Valencia: Did you really think I'm gonna let you power up?! This isn't anime, so quit your bitching and fight us already, you oversized baby back bitch. Kane let out a mighty yell, and he released more of his mana; his yellow aura went past the stadium. Patches of dirt started to kick up outside of the stone tablet platform. The rubble from the north side of the stadium began to rise. The dead bodies were in the air. Then Kane's yellow mana aura rushed back to Kane then released again to create a massive shockwave that blew all the rubble, corpses, and dirt away outside the stadium. Kane's yellow mana became a thin layer around him.
Kane: If you're ready to die, then step up and meet your maker! Valdis: Verstärker Ultor Stage Two! A luminous space gray mana aura wrapped his entire body and surrounded Valdis' nearby space. Then Valdis put his hand forward, and then a space gray long sword made entirely of light. Then points the sword at Kane. While giving him a determined gaze. Kane starts laughing. Kane: So you're the one that Reagan was talking about! The rebel's last hope, the rebel's last potential savior, is you! Your mana presence is alike to his. Are you from Estella? No, you're from here, one hundred percent, no doubt about it. Valdis: Don't ever compare me to that oppressor! A figure walked out of the nebula green spatial portal. He appears to be mixed with Hispanic and Asian with a short jawline and a deadpan facial expression with short white messy hair. He's dressed in a black suit and tie with black dress shoes.

Valdis: Reagan! What are you doing here?! Shouldn't you be busy tormenting my people?! Reagan: Absolutely. I came here to kill you and parade your corpse around the cities of the rebels. Once I killed you, I can finally rule Estella without any annoyance. And it appears you're still too weak to save the rebels. Valdis: And it appears you're still an asshole! Reagan: Guilty as charged. Kane, I've been watching, and you've been disappointing. But since you weren't trying, I will give you a pass. Kane: I was surprised that they're this strong. You see that girl with Valdis. I think there's more to her than I initially thought. Reagan: Now, I have a better look at her. Her mana presence has some traces of Estellian. Also, there appears to be some faint goddess power of some kind.

Another figure came out of the nebula green spatial portal. A shirtless black guy looks nineteen with a partial black beard. This guy can't be taller than six foot three. He's wearing black camo pants, and he has bandages wrapped around his feet while wearing no shoes. Reagan: Wyatt, you here to fight? Don't tell me your people initiate the one hundred war yet without me knowing?! Wyatt: No, you would know, Ray. But you have to be patient. This is the most prolonged war drought period. The last war was twenty-three years ago. The god of mages is trying her best to keep that peace. And my goddess Jinx is being strict right now. If I fought them, it wouldn't trigger the war. All the things to start the one hundred war are here. But all we are missing is a proper trigger. The mages have to trigger it. But I have an idea to force the mages to go to war. Reagan: Great. Wyatt: If you need me, I will be relaxing in the stands watching this fight. Wyatt started flying up, went to the stands, and floated right above the seats in a laid-back position.
Valdis levitated off the ground and flew straight to Reagan and went for a punch, but Reagan caught his right fist, Valdis launched his left fist at Reagan, but Reagan caught his fist once again. Reagan let out a small arrogant laugh and spun Valdis in the air while holding his fists. Then launch him thirty feet in the air. Valdis stopped his momentum in the air by flying on his own. Reagan: There's no need to rush, rebel! You can give me a heads up next time! As for your reward, you can have this gift! Reagan put one hand in the air, locking onto Valdis, and shot out an enormous yellow blast. Valdis, in return, shot back with a giant space gray blast. The two blasts collide and then instantly combusted. Creating an olive array just above the stadium.
Valdis brought out his sword again and charged at Reagan. Reagan looks up and welcomes Valdis by waving at Valdis; soon as Valdis is about to connect, Reagan sidestepped it and grabbed the back of Valdis' neck, and slammed Valdis' face to the ground. Valdis broke out the grip and launched a flurry of punches, but Reagan casually moved his head out of the way. Valdis then launches a flurry of kicks, but on Valdis's last attempt to kick, Reagan catches it, pushes his foot back, and makes Valdis drop on his ass. Reagan began looking down upon Valdis. Valdis opened up his space gray spatial portal behind Regan. Reagan looks behind him, Valdis tackles him through his spatial portal. And Valdis gray spatial portal closed when they went through.
Sora: Vivi, I need you to hide somewhere and wait for my mark to strike. I don't want a long fight because of my condition. And plus, it appears you still need to recover your mana. Valencia: Understood. Valencia vanished without a trace, but her intense bloodlust came out of nowhere. You can't even pinpoint where she is. Her bloodlust is coming from every direction. Kane began cracking his knuckles. Kane: Whatever plan you got, boy, it won't work. You're going to be a corpse after I'm done with you! Sora: Is that so?! Justin, I need you to buy me some time! I have an idea; just keep him busy for now!
Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45fW2OEGYnQ&list=PLW8u2prmd9kudKGJ6Eo7eQsjer-RdN1-I&index=49
Justin: Alright! I will buy as much time as I can give you! Justin grabbed his blade and blitzed Kane and started to pull multiple hesitations before swinging his blade. Kane reached for Justin but evaded his reach and got behind Kane. And he's ready to unleash his blade upon Kane. Justin: Lightning Magic: Indigo Lightning Slash! Justin coated his blade with indigo-colored lightning and attempted to slash Kane's back. But Kane launched back his elbow into Justin's face. Justin collapses to the ground. Kane then turns his attention on to me. Kane started laughing up a storm. Kane: Looks like your friend couldn't buy you that much time.
Sora: Chaos Magic: Eternal Bond!!! Crimson Fire Magic: Ultimate Omega Heatwave! Rin three percent! A transparent water-clone Sophia with dual-wielding katanas is right in front of me, protecting me from a giant red aura that could surround a townhouse. Then a dark lavender aura coated my entire body. I summoned my katana in my hand, gripped it with two hands, and held it four inches away from my body. Kane went through the heatwave, but he didn't get through it without being scathe. Kane suffered some second-degree burns around his shoulders and face. Then Kane charged at the transparent water-clone Sophia. And tried to ram himself through the clone. But the water clone stopped Kane in his tracks by thrusting her blades through both of his knees caps. Kane groaned in pain and shield bashed the water clone to destroy it. Then Kane jumped up and tried to tackle me down, but I met him in the air and took him down to the ground. Sora: Water Magic: Mighty Hydro Fist! My left fist was coated in rapid water, and I tried to strike Kane's face, but he covered up his face with his arms to block it. Kane quickly grabbed my neck and threw me off the stone tablet platform. Before I fell and hit the grass, I used wind magic to float in the air. Kane quickly got to me before I had time to look back up, Kane bear-hugged me.
I can't get out of it! What did the others do?! How the hell did they get out of this! I can't break free. I can barely breathe with this oversized gorilla on me!
Sora: Rin ten percent! An enormous shockwave of dark lavender aura exploded from my body, and I broke free from Kane's grasp. Kane stumbled back a bit. Both of us charged at each other and started trading blows. Kane fainted with his punch and then caught my fist and started to throw me around to the ground repeatedly like a rag doll. Sora: Rin twenty percent! Even a more tremendous shockwave than last time exploded from my body that sent Kane flying off the stone tablet platform.
I'm on the ground, and I started coughing up my own blood. My breathing is getting out of control. My eyes are getting heavy. My chest is getting tight!
Kane is back on the stone tablet platform. And he's charging at me. I got up from the ground. I put my index and middle finger together with both hands. I dragged my right back to a sixty-degree position. Then I put my left foot in a ninety-degree position. I raised both my fingers to Kane. I crank back both my fingers. Sora: Lightning Magic: Combo Spell: Red and Gamma Green Lightning! Red lightning surrounded my right index and middle finger, and Gamma green-colored lightning surrounded my left index and middle finger. I launched the lightning at Kane, but the lightning struck back at me. Hitting straight into the chest. I collapsed to my knees and started coughing out blood. I can hear my heartbeat getting weak.
Kane started laughing. Kane: Getting hit with your own spell is quite sad and amusing at the same time. Kane sprinted towards me and grabbed me by the throat. And then the choke slammed me. Repeatedly. Then Kane dropped me, went back for his long sword, and stabbed me repeatedly in the chest. Blood started pouring out of my chest. Kane stabbed one more time in the chest and left it there. Kane grabbed my arm and snapped all my left fingers.
It doesn't even hurt anymore. I don't have the strength to scream anymore. I think I hear Sophia in the background calling my name. She's probably telling me to get up and beat Kane's ass or something. Or come back to her alive. I need to stop being stubborn. I need to use Zea's power. Or is it too late? Maybe I should call for her. That ain't good; my vision is getting dark.
I summoned my grimoire right beside me while Kane proceeded to stomp me in my face multiple times. I look to my left, and my grimoire is burning slowly. The right corner of the book is already gone. I think it's time to use power. Don't be stubborn. It's for my own safety. I need to do it.

Sora: Corruption! A surge of dark lime green mana aura exploded from my body. It sent Kane, and his sword was sent flying all the way to the stands where the rubble is. The aura lifted me off my back. Then a dark green mist covered up my entire body. I closed my eyes and blacked out for a moment. All I hear is Zea's playful laughter in my ears. When I open my eyes.
My power is going through the roof. My crimson lion eyes feel different. My injuries are gone, my vision is even sharper than before. My strength is more refined. My mana feels really different. I can't describe it now.
Kane leaps from the stands to the stone tablet platform. Kane has this astonished look on his face. Kane: Your eyes are different! Your whole presence is entirely different. Your mana is comparable to a certain somebody that I know. Justin: Damn, he got me good. Sora, your eyes are dark green! Your hair is white! What the fuck is going on with you?! Sora: Oh, yeah, you have my thanks for buying me some time. Justin: Why the fuck you sound dead inside!? You deep voice monotone ass nigga! Sora: You can go back with the other or stay and help. It doesn't matter to me. Kane, you ready?
Kane lit up his fists in flames, ran up to me, and started throwing punches at me. But he couldn't land a single one of them. Sora: Your attacks are even slower than usual. Are you holding out on me? Kane: Fire Magic: Salamander Fire Breath! Kane started shooting out flames with his mouth. I casually walked through it and got up right up to him and uppercut Kane's jaw that sat him down on his ass. Sora: Dark Magic: Devil's Spear. I put my hand forward, and a spear made entirely of darkness shot out of my hand and went through Kane's chest, and the tip of the spear went through the concrete. Kane tried to pull out his spear, but as soon as he touched it, he pulled his hands away from it.
Kane: What the hell is this?! It felt cold and then hot in a brief second of touching it. Sora: Dark Magic: Dark Shot! I charged up a dark lavender beam on my index finger and shot it at Kane's throat. Sora: I don't want to hear you speak anymore. Kane: Damn you! Kane got up by sliding up from the spear. Kane: Steel Magic: Steel Body! Kane's entire body turned into steel. He rushed at me, and I let him punch me in the face. He made me turn my face just a little. Then I, in return, shot out a jab right to his face that sat his ass down. Kane got up and tackled me down, and started punching me in the face. I just started laughing maniacally. Kane gets upset and begins to put more force behind his punches.
