《The Zodians - Book 1: The Outlander》Silhouette and Shield
Advertisement
Only Phalanx, Hargnes, and his parents remain unarmed. Jon looks at the four of them with a puzzled look, but he does not say anything either. Then Jon comes and takes his mother's hand, and gives her a silver shawl. He puts it in her palm, saying:
“This is Dasanilash…” he interrupts, then speaks so quietly that no one could hear. “…You will turn the table.”
Victoria looks at him and then accepts the cloak. Dasanilash is a hooded cloak. When she puts it on, the whole cloak glitters with a beautiful silvery light. But just seconds after she covers it with it, Victoria becomes completely invisible. She seems to disappear without a trace. They all look around in amazement but find nothing. It is not until a moment after Victoria removes the hood that she reappears.
“If you close her eyes and focus on yourself, Dasanilash has another power besides invisibility,” he said.
Indeed, when Victoria does as she is told, she closes her eyes and focuses on herself. When she opens her eyes, she is holding a longsword made of water but as sharp as ordinary swords. Not only that, but she also realises that another version of herself is standing beside her. Another "Victoria", identical to her exactly, even a curled strand of hair is the same. The two "Victoria" look at each other without taking their eyes off each other while the rest are equally shocked, only Jon remains calm. He says:
“It is your illusion. You can create as many illusions as you want. Illusions only go away when you absorb them or they get attacked.”
Victoria turns to look at her mirage. She takes it by the hand, feeling an infinite truth. Then Victoria closes her eyes tightly and concentrates her strength the same way she summons her illusion. The clone Victoria then re-enters her body and disappears, the water sword also dissipating. But she also knows that, with this ability, the situation of the battle could change in favour of her side. And just hope, her hunch is right.

"And this is yours, father. The Pyrossid Shield,” Jon hands it to him. "Father, use it with the Mighty Dragon sword."
Reind takes the Pyrossid shield and grasps it firmly with his left hand, while with his right he draws the Mighty Dragon fastened to his belt. Jon continues:
“Father, go over there, towards the rock in front of you,” then he turns to Leila who was standing next to him. "Can you let thunder strike my father's shield?"
"Of course!"
With that, Leila once again uses her power. She summons a pillar of thunder from above, which attacks Reind's Pyrossid shield. Thinking, if an ordinary person receives a lightning strike like this, there will be only ashes left. But amazingly, all the damage of the lightning column is absorbed by the Pyrossid. No one knows how or how all that power is transformed by the Pyrossid and passes through Reind's body. His eyes are so bright that his eyeballs have turned white, and his whole body is surrounded by electric flashes. That energy runs through his body and then focuses on the Mighty Dragon he is holding in his hand. Thus, it is clear that Pyrossid is an energy absorber, and the weapon, for Reind, is the Mighty Dragon that will explode that huge source of energy. After completely absorbing Leila's thunder column, Reind is like a ball of energy about to explode. His strength right now is unbelievable. Reind swings the billowing sword surrounded by lightning at the rock in front of him. Immediately, a death slash carrying the power of thunder explodes the rock, and sweeps a wide area around it.

Re:Mento Mori
When Ryuji, a disgruntled salaryman, is supposed to reach an unfortunate end, he is instead thrust into a new world, inhabiting a body that isn't his own. Forced into a world filled with strife and death, can he claim freedom and happiness? Or will his turbulent new life only lead to suffering and pain? As with every time-loop story written by an amateur author, this is heavily inspired by Re:Zero. If I had to explain my book, I would say imagine Re:Zero, but the main character can actually fight people instead of just getting merked every time he meets someone with a weapon. The themes of this story are dark, so be forewarned. This is my first story so keep that in mind while reading it.
