Ch 42 Finish it!

Sen quickly laid out his plan to ryyla and although she understood she wasn't quite convinced.

"Sen how does this stop the panther? even if he's hit how does that defeat him?"

"I'm not for sure it will work either, but the words he said before, his magic spear and the lightning, I feel they're all connected. We need to at least try something before he turns this place into nothing but rubble."

Ryyla still in mid fight with the panther was now on the defensive dodging each of his moves left right back, but each time she did the panther seemed to cause more destruction through the city. It seemed if she didn't let him hit her then he would just harm everyone else, so she gnashed her teeth and jumped in between his attacks taken the brunt of the damage, she quickly whispered back.

"Sen, how sure are you?"

Sen paused for but a moment.

"30%"

*sigh*

"How long do you need?"

"Give me just a seconds at the most 10 after that ill naturally attract his attention and he will come to me, then I think we have a shot."

"Why would he come to you?"

"Easy, this guys has too much of an ego to ignore me, you saw how he was in the arena."

"Ok tell me when your ready and ill try to aim this guy in your direction."

"Thanks, teacher."

And so the fight continued. Ryyla tried her best to hit him into the air while at the same time the panther poured out lightning like an endless river. Ryyla opened a few portals swallowing as much as the lightning as she could, but some of the portals weren't big enough and still some lightning forked out striking people and buildings left and right.

Soon the smell of burnt corpses and fresh blood filled the city and no one seemed to be safe. Meanwhile, up in the sky above sen, dark clouds quickly started to circle above him, lightning was being shaped within. Soon continues cracks of thunder were heard everywhere as the sky began to dance with snakes of light. The panther immediately took notice of this.

"Who else dares summon lightning around me?"

It was then that he found the source floating in the sky, he easily recognized the figure as sen.

"That fucking human child again, no one uses lightning but me."

The panthers focus left ryyla and directed at sen. The panther leaped directly at him and although they were hundreds of feet apart the panther appeared in front of sen almost instantly, but ryyla had noticed this long ago and just as the panther arrived ryyla was already waiting at his back, sen shouted out.

"Teacher now."

With quickness, ryyla gripped the panther from behind putting him in a choke hold. Because the panther couldn't fly and his strength was weaker than ryyla's he could only struggle while in her grasp, and although he possessed the strength of a mountain in her arms with her ability activated he was but a child. She held him firmly while he scratched and bit into her arm tearing a bit of flesh out, sen knew he didn't have much time.

"Teacher open it."

With understanding ryyla quickly opened a portal above the panther and within it came a bolt of lightning, but not just any lightning it was the panthers. It quickly shot down and struck the two together. Ryyla clenched her teeth biting down trying to endure the strike while the panther just laughed.

"This was it? this was what you two were planning. You fool release me."

The thick black belt that was on the panthers waist quickly unwrapped itself and struck ryyla in the side of the head throwing her off into the city down below. It turned out that the black belt wrapped around the panther the whole time was not a belt at all but instead was his tail. After throwing ryyla off he quickly turned to sen wanting to finish him but no longer having the momentum from his jump and due to the fact that sen was flying, the panther quickly fell back to the ground.

Wanting to leap back up immediately, the panther noticed that sen started to ascend higher easily escaping out of his reach. The panthers face distorted in fury. He summoned strike after strike to destroy sen, but sen being so far away and flying so fast in the sky, the panther could only miss. Meanwhile, sen was worried about his teacher so he whispered to her frantically.

"Teacher! teacher! can you hear me!!?...... are you ok!!!!?"

But there was no reply. Once more sen whispered to ryyla.

"Teacher! answer me, are you hurt? teacher!"

But once again there was no response. Sen couldn't bear it any longer, he infused more mana and projected his voice covering the entire city and in a booming shout that was equal to an explosion he roared.

"RYYLA!!!!!"

His shout blanketed the city and for a moment the world seem silent before once again the sound of panicked screams filled the city. Sen's heart sunk every second felt like an hour and his thoughts ran wild with dread until finally, in a faint voice.

"Sen no need to yell hehe."

Sen whispered once more.

"Teacher are you hurt?"

"Kuku, of course I'm hurt, that damn lightning stings quite a bit."

"Is it serious?"

Ryyla paused for a moment.

"Of course it's not serious, who do you think I am some kind of a wimp a pushover. I just, I just need a moment, tell me, what is the panther doing?"

"He's in a rage he keeps trying to hit me with lightning but in the sky I'm too quick currently he can do nothing to me."

"Good, that's good, tell me sen did your plan work ?"

"Yes, it went exactly as I hoped he didn't notice when the lightning struck that my lightning was attached to his and he accepted it without a fight."

During that exchange in the sky, sen had gathered his own lightning and at the moment when ryyla released the panthers lightning from her portal sen unleashed his striking the panther at the same moment.

"So he took your lightning but he wasn't damaged in the slightest so where does that leave us?"

"Teacher his spear."

Ryyla looked at sen questioningly.

"What about it?"

"I believe without the spear he will once more become vulnerable. It seems to me that the panther doesn't have the element of lightning but instead draws it from that spear, so I believe if we take his spear from him then lightning should actually affect him ."

"But how can we remove the spear? you've seen how he is, wild and uncontrolled"

"Teacher, I need you to once more lock him up for a few seconds and just loosen his grip. If you can loosen his grip I can use my eyes and possibly snatch away his spear. At that point, once more we will do what we did last time except this time ill poor every ounce of magical strength I can summon into 1 lightning bolt."

Ryyla just stared at sen in bewilderment. She knew he was smart but even still this just reminds her of his capabilities. She thought to herself if he were born into a military family what an amazing tactician he could become.

"Sen how did you think of all this."

"I don't know, I just observe and then put the clues before me together. That's all I know how to do right now."

"Arent you frightened though."

Sen gripped his hands tight turning them a bit pale. It was only now that ryyla noticed this. Even though she was quite far she could still see that sen's entire body was trembling. Of course he was scared, he was fighting a creature strong enough to collapse mountains, strong enough to dissipate rivers, strong enough splinter trees, and shatter rocks. Sen was more terrified than ever before, but in that moment of death where the panther almost cleaved him in two he realized something.

Once he's dead that's it, no more happy moments with his mother, no more getting to argue with his dad, no more goofy moments with ryyla, no more moments with ryyla. When sen realized all this a small flame of fury appeared within him. He had never felt such anger in his entire being. The fact that someone wanted to take everything he cared for away, the fact that it almost happened and the fact that there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Because of his powerlessness sen swore if he survived this day he would seek out and acquire strength, unmatched strength. There were too many people in his opinion that outclassed him. That could threaten his life and he was tired of this crap. Tired of people thinking they were better than him. People thinking they could do what they pleased to him to bully him to hurt him, to hurt those he cared for. He vowed in his heart that he would seek strength until no one in all of gordonia could be his match. It was then that he aimed to be stronger than ryyla's father, to be stronger then Draden, SLAYER OF DRAGONS.

Meanwhile, the panther still raged. He was now tearing through buildings killing any in his path. He seemed to have totally lost it, he felt humiliated and once again that child had gotten in his way and once again he couldn't kill that child because he was out of reach and so he raged uncontrollably throughout the city.

"Tacher we have to hurry! he's killing so many of them!"

"I know I'm on it, get ready."

Ryyla caught up to the panther just as he finished tearing through some innocent family. She quickly tackled him through the building and mounted him hammering her gauntlets into his face furiously. She couldn't stand the fact that this beast was destroying so much just because he could and so she wailed on him dropping fist and elbows atop his face, but the panther just laughed and returned a blow right back to her, launching her high into the sky.

She had just healed up and she was starting to look paler and paler, her eyes that had transformed were slowly reverting back to blue and her hair to silver. She knew she didn't have long before her innate ability wore off, she hurriedly whispered to sen.

"Sen are you almost finished? my power is starting to fade."

Hearing this sen was quite alarmed he knew she couldn't keep up her strength like that forever, but it had only been minutes since she transformed he urgently replied back.

"Almost, just give me 40 no make that 30 more seconds. Just buy me 30 more seconds."

High in the sky sen floated in the air. The APB on his wrist shined a bright purple as it rose his lvl of power to the 9th rank. His eyes opened and glowed a demonic crimson red, they quickly gobbled up mana absorbing it at a terrifying speed and poured it into one bolt of lightning continuously.

It's strength was already close in power to the panthers. With sen's eyes, he could continuously pull in mana directly from the sun which in turn he added it to this one bolt of lightning. The lightning itself cracked back in forth within a cloud above his head snakeing every which way.

Its size was ballooning to a monstrous amount and its glow was as if a second sun appeared. The entire sky lit up as though 1,000 mages used a light spell at once. The lightning was starting to escape from the cloud due to sheer volume alone bigger and bigger. Sen began to shape it and as he did it started to shrink. He was condensing it down, making it purer and stronger by many times. Still he continued to pour mana into it, growing it, condensing it, pouring more mana into it. He repeated this process a multitude of times and it was wearing on his body.

Although he could continue to absorb a nearly unlimited supply of mana his body wasn't used to so much and it was starting to tear him up from the inside out. His skin began to crack open and peel everywhere, blood started to seep from every pore on his body. His muscles started to contract and spasm on their own and his head felt like it was splitting open. It felt the same like the times he would look into his mind into the darkness within just a tearing soul shattering type of feeling, but he had no time to worry about that he grit his teeth enduring the torture and he whispered to ryyla.

"Teacher I'm ready."

As soon as ryyla heard this she disappeared from in front of the panther quickly reappearing behind him. She was clearly exhausted. She grabbed the panther from behind by the waist and pushed off the ground with all her might. She flew right near sen holding onto to the struggling panther with everything she had. The panther struggled wildly and roared.

"This plan again, I don't think so."

The panther struck out with his tail furiously at ryyla's head, but she too was prepared this time. Right as it came close to her face she opened her jaws and bit down with everything she had, stopping the tail in its tracks. She then wrapped her legs around the panthers body and locked him and his free arm in place. She then took her hand and gripped at his palm trying to loosen his hold of the spear, but her strength was quickly fading.

The panther was violent he began to headbutt her in the face repeatedly. Breaking her nose and cutting her eye. Her once beautiful face quickly became soaked in blood and the panther continued to headbutt her, but still she continued to squeeze until finally she grabbed at his thumb and pulled back with everything she had. Once she did sen took the opportunity and using his eyes snatched the spear out of the panthers hand, he shouted out.

"Now."

On cue ryyla once more opened up her portal and the panthers lightning was about to descend, the panther seeing this sneered.

"My lighting again, you creatures are truly pathetic."

Hearing this sen could hold back his anger no more he roared.

"THIS ONES MINE BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!"

The lightning that once floated above sen's head and the panthers descended, striking both ryyla and the panther simultaneously and everything went white.

*CRACK-KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
