My Beginning After the End

Brother vs Brother

(Six Months Later)

I drew my night black blade from my mana ring and faced my brother, he had out Dawn's Ballard, and was exerting a scary confident aura. I was facing the true king, a future deity. At this moment, he was only my brother.

"You ready, Veer?" Arthur asked me, as I spun my sword in my hand.

"Yeah." I augmented my body with mana and fire. "Don't go easy on me." I activated "Blood Oath."

"I won't." He got into a fighting stance, and wind mana built up around him. I see, he plans to rush in on me.

I felt for the water in the ground and brought it to the surface, and Arthur launched himself at me with terrifying speed. I quickly conjured ice all around me on the ground, so it became slippery.

Arthur appeared on the ice and swung his blade at me, I parried his attack and shot an ice spear at him. He brought up a wind wall and did the same with an ice spear. I used my flaming sword to cut through the ice.

Then Arthur appeared next to me but being able to sense him with my blood magic, I dodged his sword as it went over my head. I went for a low kick at his knee and using his momentum Arthur jumped and did a flip in the air.

As he was in the air, I shot fire out of me at him. He deflected my attack with fire of his own. Arthur then activated some electric spell, and his speed was even greater, as he vanished and came for me from above.

Using blood magic I reduced his movements, so that he was slower, totally cancelling out his electric spell. Arthur seemed to notice as he was coming down at me, because he had an opening, but it disappeared with his speed, this made him use earth magic to bring up a slab of stone under his feet. He floated in the air on it as he moved away from me.

I smiled as I launched myself into the air at him, swinging my sword at his chest. Arthur went to block my attack, but I feinted to the other side, something he taught me. He taught me, so he knew it was coming, because he shot fire at my open chest. Using water, I created a double shield of mana to protect myself from the attack, as I was launched to the ground. I landed on my feet as Arthur jumped off the slab of stone ten yards away from me.

I conjured water and fire spells in the air and sent them at him, he conjured water and fire as well and our spells cancelled out. I reinforced my legs with more mana and then propelled myself at Arthur, as I folded his legs with blood magic.

Arthur was falling to the ground, that was until his body was lifted up by wind magic. Of course, he could counter it, I continued going as he got ready for me. I swung my blade at him, he side stepped and swung at my head. I reduced his speed and pushed his arms up into the air with my wind magic. I swung my arms in a rotation and brought my sword to his rib cage.

Blue Fire erupted out of him, making me back away. I quickly used "Water Bombs." Water formed around me. Arthur shot fire and I shot water; our spells collided and created a mist over the field.

We met in the middle swinging our blades at each other. I swung at his head, Arthur ducked under it and brought his sword to my chest. I quickly brought my night black sword back to my chest deflecting his attack.

I swung my blade at him, and he spun his sword in his hands, so the blades connected. We were face to face pushing our swords together. "Seems like my little brother wants a shot at the crown." Arthur smiled at me at me.

"Haha." I laughed as the blue flames of Arthur came rushing at me, I brought up a wall of wind to push the fire up into the air. I felt for the mana in the air and conjured as much water as I could, which was basically like a small pond. I formed the water into scythes and sent them to Arthur, then I reduced his movement using blood magic.
