123 Final Test: Possession Vs Possession
Master quietly nodded as she pulled out her dagger
The two were alone in the middle of the forest suffering from an ice cold blizzard. As the snow slowly fell and as the frozen trees grew colder, darkness clouded both john's and master's eyes.
"Possession vs Possession" John muttered
John never expected to fight master so soon, especially after what happened yesterday. Master managed to sort everything out, and set the kidnapped people free. Fortunately for them, they hadn't gotten a slave contract engraved in them making things much less complicated.
The elf girl that john saved, wanted to give something to him, but master promised to give it only after their fight.
John could tell that master was mad and got a little nervous, and there was only one reason for it.
"You're buying me a new bottle of red wine." Muttered master
"You're still mad about that? Didn't you say you didn't mind after having the rabbit stew?" John asked
There was no reply and instead master threw the coin into the air
"So we're starting, huh..." John muttered
The nostalgic feeling right before a battle with his master was great. As john watched the coin spin in the air, he got another sense of déjà vu, but he knew it was all in his head.
As the coin dropped, The ground flopped and the two clashed.
--------------------------------------------------
"At-choo!" Let out serena
"Bless you" said Ariel
"Thank you"
"Is it another cold?" Asked Ariel
"Elves aren't that sensitive! Getting colds are rare, but when they come it's a nightmare..." Muttered Serena
"John should be fighting right about now huh..."
"Let's make a bet"
"1 gold coin on John"
"2 gold coins on John's master"
"Serena john got a lot stronger"
"Ariel, you have too much faith in john"
"Zac, who do you bet on?" Asked Ariel as she turned to him
The two stared at him waiting for a response
"... Fine, I'll bet 5 gold coins on..."
----------------------------------------------------
*Clang* *Clang*
*Clang* *Clang*
The sound of weapons clas.h.i.+ng against each other resounded through the forest. John was being able to perfectly parry and avoid master's attacks while master herself was doing the same.
They were evenly matched.
John was surprised, even more than master, he never expected to be able to keep up with her attacks, but after using posession, they felt slower, and his body itself felt as if it was moving on its own. Dodging and blocking the attacks.
*Clang*
They clashed once more before leaping back
[So this is the true power of posession...] John thought as he looked at master
Suddenly, master disappeared. It was shadow stepped, John who knew
John swung his dagger as fast as he could, to be the cooldown but wasn't fast enough. Right before it hit her, she shadow stepped away"
"I missed..." John muttered
However that wasn't quite right. As he looked towards master, he noticed that he grazed her, and there was a small cut near her shoulder.
Master then threw throwable knifes at john, which he deflected by changing into the counter stance and parrying them with his dagger.
But that was just a distraction, and in that moment, master completed her chant. Her daggers were in engulfed in raging dark flames as she muttered
"Tenebrae perussi flammarum" Translation: Consuming Dark Flames
From this john could tell that it would be no joke, so he began applying an element to his swords too
[If you're going with fire... Then I'll just use water]
"tenebrosa aqua" Trans: Dark Water
John's weapon gained a layer of black liquid which extended it. Then once again, Then in a single blink, the two leapt at each other and clashed.
Steam was being let out, not from the liquid on john's sword but from the snow which was being melted in the exchange. The trees were being cut as they leapt around the trees while taking cover from each other's..h.i.ts
Master was on the verge of causing a forest fire.
Once more the two clash and backed up, they had more s.p.a.ce than before. That was because all the trees in the area had been cut in their exchange.
Both master and John were panting heavily, they knew that they weren't getting anywhere and just draining each other's stamina. So they poured everything into their next attack
They weren't getting anywhere with the fight so both john and master decided to end in all in the next attack.
Master started to chant and john began to circulate electricity through his body.
The two then charged at each other, the final clash.
John was putting his all into this attack, his thoughts were focused and he felt calm.
Once they were just a few steps from each other, master had completed her chant and in that instant, she muttered
"Tenebrae fluctus flamma erupit" Translation: Raging Dark Flame Burst
"Tenebris fulgurationem" Translation: Dark Lightning Flash
*Boom*
------------------------------------------------------
*Boom*
The sound of an explosion resounded all the way to the cave
"Wh What was that?!" Asked Serena as she looked around
"An explosion... Isn't that in the direction john and master headed?" Asked Ariel
"Looks like the fight is over" said Zac as he got up and looked at where the steam was coming from
There was no forest fire, but it was full of smoke
-------------------------------------------------------
"Do you surrender?"
Without saying anything master moved john's dagger away from her throat
She then looked at john as she said
"It's my loss"
She didn't look upset at all, or rather, contrary to that, she looked happy.
"Haha... That's good..." Said John before he collapsed to the ground
Dark electricity could be seen flowing through his body
As she looked at john who laid on the ground with a satisfied and happy smile Master thought back on what had happened.
Right as she activated her spell, and flames erupted from the tip of her sword, John disappeared, he moved faster than her attack at point black range and in that instant, he somehow managed to get his dagger on her neck before she could shadow step away.
She couldn't believe it, no, she knew from the beginning, This student of hers, wasn't normal.
