My Beginning After the End

Cadell Pt. I

Arthur looked at me as I released his wrist, but Cadell spoke. "How would someone your age know that? Now that I think about it, you knew my name beforehand, Lesser."

"It doesn't matter, we are going to kill you." Arthur's sword hissed with energy, I think it was ice and electricity. He was already in his second phase, so he was ready to fight. "There's no way I am going to let you take my brother back with you!"

I stepped up so I was now next to Arthur and activated "Blood Monarch."

Scales grew on me, runes appeared below my eyes, my hair turned red, my energy and power rose, this felt good. I pulled three tubes of blood out of my mana ring and pulled the blood out of them using my blood magic. I had the blood circle both of my arms as we stood there waiting to start the battle.

I also activated "Scarlett Eyes" and felt my sense of blood, and everything else enhance.

"If you actually think you can stop me from doing what I have to, you are as foolish as any other Lesser." Cadell tilted his head and looked directly at me. "Today, Dicathen will lose a Lance, and another one will be too broken to continue fighting."

"Na." I shook my head. "There's zero chance I'm coming back with you." I told him, forming a blood sword in my right hand.

"Veer, I'll go right, you go left." Arthur told me. "Sylvie's going to support us from above." I could feel the rage coming off of them still, but they were doing a great job holding it back. "We need to get your water mana into him."

"I know." I answered, raising my left hand into the air, but before I could perform a spell, Cadell vanished before us, and appeared in front of me, swinging his sword at my head. "Haha." I laughed as I ducked under his blade, Arthur shot at him, swinging his blade at his ribs.

A black spike shot out of the ground at Arthur before his blade could even reach him, I shot myself at Cadell, swinging my blood sword at his knee, a spike appeared, I liquefied my blade, and it passed right through the spike, then reformed it as it got closer to Cadell.

Noticing my blade, Cadell back stepped, I extended the end of my sword toward him, trying to puncture his armor, but countless spikes grew, causing Arthur and I to retreat a little. I raised my left hand and conjured rain, not a lot of rain, but a slow mist that covered the field, this will allow me to push my water mana into him if we manage to cut him.

"Nice." Arthur said, vanishing and appearing before Cadell, swinging his sword, I felt a spell building up in him, so I reached into his core and disrupted it, causing the spell to deform for a second.

It was exactly as I thought, I could only control his core for mere moments, but that might be good enough. Arthur swung his blade and dodged the attacks Cadell threw at him as best as he could.

I shot myself into the mix, swinging my sword at him as Arthur attacked as well. Cadell brought his sword down on me as he kicked Arthur in the stomach sending him backwards, but his sword was stopped as a bolt of energy shot down from the sky making him back away from me.

I conjured a ball of fire and shot it at him, but it hit nothing, and went into the woods behind Cadell. My mist spell still going on, drenching the ground with water as we fought in this field of grass.

Arthur in an instant appeared next to Cadell, swinging his teal sword at him, I dug into his body, stopping him from moving for a second, but it wasn't enough. He still managed to dodge the attack by back stepping, and then swung his sword at Arthur's back as his momentum took him past Cadell.

However, the blade was stopped by me as I appeared before him, stopping his blow with my sword, our blades crashed together, and I sent the Scythe a smile. "Honestly, you should go into your gas form, because this is a bit underwhelming." I lied of course; his movements were quick.
