Chapter #27: [THE BATTLE - BEGINNING]

...

As he sensed that the LightSeeker's presence wasn't focused on them anymore, the old man slowly cracked his eyes. His body hurt all over, it was like everyone of their highest ranking members fired a volley of powerful spells on his body simultaneously, with him not wearing any sort of defense. He didn't expect the man to be that powerful, and it's very bad news if they clash again sometime in the future.

His vision was blurry and painful, due to the amount of blood and dust that has gotten into his eyes. However, he could still make up the figure of the LightSeeker flying towards the place where the Deity was.

With a light groan, he freed his arm that was buried underneath the bodies of the twins. Gritting his teeth, he reached inside his inner clothes. Grabbing something, it revealed a Teleportation Scroll. Luckily, despite the onslaught of attacks, the sigil inside the scroll wasn't broken in any parts, only the paper on it's sides.

He brought his shaking hands holding the scroll towards his mouth. With a grunt, he channeled some of his mana on it, before biting and tearing it off.

A few seconds later, the 4 were engulfed by a blue glow, and a blue colored magic circle appeared beneath them, before they vanished.

....

*Cough!*Cough!*Cough!*

"... D.. D-Damn.. it..."

*Cough!*

"... Bastard...!", The old man gritted out as he nursed his wounds. The other 3 was still unconscious and it seems that they won't be waking up soon. They were lucky to escape from him, as he was more worried about the Deity. If he wasn't, they would've likely died back there.

But what the hell just happened? Wasn't LightSeekers supposed to be peaceful and full of reverence? The look that he had back when he crushed them was cold and merciless.

"I-I need to report this to 'Dragon'..., th zodiac is now in conflict but this one is another problem.", He choked out, as he shakily stood. Despite healing some of his injuries, he was still for worse. After all, he wasn't an expert in Healing Magic.

He fished out something from one of his pockets, a crystal bracelet to be specific. Clipping it on his left wrist, he pressed it's side and it began to ring.

*Ding!*Ding!*Ding!*Ding!*Ding!*Duuuuuuut...*

"Dammit Tatsumi! Pickup your stupid crystal!", He screeched in frustration. To think that the man was actually planning to revive the Deity?! Does he want to obtain her power?!

"Tch... Why did the leader want us to create nonsensical chaos anyway...", The old man mumbled in irritation. He was lost, their head just ordered them to create as much chaos as they can and steal the Ancient Relics that possess direct connection to the Ancient Gods.

He growled, before trying to contact Tatsumi again.

After a few seconds...

"Hiya! Dark Flame Master Tatsumi isn't here yet! Please leave a message!"

It said, before shutting.

"Bastard! Is this supposed to be a phone?!", He screamed.

...

...

"Kekekeke... Enjoy being shut up, clean freak?", Tatsumi sneered, grinning at the injured and weakened Shido.

"What do you want?", Shido growled out, glaring the man darkly. He had been bound, not just most of his physical power, but his magic and attribute as well. He can't really do anything for now.
