Chapter 52: False Peace Since the next day was a Saturday, we decided to take a while off. At least until something bad happened. We spent the day at Leafre's Sports Centre, trying out the badminton courts. It was rather fun, although I had to stop because my shots kept smashing the shuttlec0ck into either the wall, the ceiling, or the floor and creating a mini crater along with decimating the shuttlec0ck. I was way too strong...... It was almost the exact same thing with soccer, my ball kept smashing through the goal nets. If it wasn't a goal net, it was another player. Once, Alexis fell over from one of my passes, having been swept off her feet by the ball. "You're getting way too strong for your own good." she got up crossly. "Sorry...... But I didn't want to be like this in the first place." I sighed, kicking my ball into the goal with a minimal amount of energy. Still, it punched through the net. Archery...... My field. I summoned the Archaeion and was instantly gawked at by Kagome. Every single arrow I shot hit the bullseye, and it was the same with her and Sevin. Alexis had minimal experience with bows, but she still hit the target, although not the bullseye. Timmy and Jakito had gone to the local library to check up on spellwork, but they returned a few minutes later saying that the library was closed for renovations. The rest of the day passed by quickly, and we were soon walking out of the sports centre. Everyone was tired, except me. The Dark Angel appeared to have an endless amount of stamina. Just as we were walking back towards the inn, three black-cloaked figures appeared in the street out of nowhere, blocking our path. When we tried to get past, they moved to cut us off. "Whats the meaning of this!?" Alexis demanded. The figures threw off their cloaks to reveal...... Saevio, a young Thief and...... WHAT THE HECK!? ALEXIS!? Alexis gasped. "Thats......." She was completely shocked. "Allow me to introduce you to my young apprentice, Sixela." Saevio smiled ominously. The Alexis on his side took a giant sword from her back. It was at least 3 metres long and 50 centimetres wide! The hilt was crusted with black crystals and the blade had runes inscribed on it. "What kind of sword is that......" Kagome gasped. "That sword means trouble. Let me handle this." I replied, holding my hands out. I Traced a massive sword to contend Sixela's. Mine was 6 metres long and 75 centimetres wide. "I'll help." Alexis unsheathed her Jikyeon Sword. "Me too." Jakito readied his Blade Staff. "Okay...... Demon Form." I whispered and closed my eyes, resting my sword on the ground. My eight wings burst out of my back and unfurled, generating a small amount of wind. My skin became scaly as my hands turned into claws and horns shot out of my head. When I opened my eyes again, Jakito was already in his demon form. "A white demon. I haven't seen one in millennia." Saevio said and a scorpion tail shot out of his back. His arm muscles flexed for a moment, and then a sword larger than even mine appeared in his right hand. Another flex of his muscles, and a similar sword appeared in his left hand. He could hold two swords like that at once! I knew I could do the same, but when I tried to Trace another sword, it wouldn't come. "Your demon powers haven't matured enough to use two two-handed swords at once." Jakito explained. "Now you tell me." I grumbled and hoisted my sword with both hands. Even with the Dark Angel's strength, it felt heavy. I felt sure that no one other than Saevio and me could hold swords of this caliber. |
