My Beginning After the End Four Armies

Reclaiming Xyrus Pt. VII

"Kill them." My father pointed to the north, insisting that I kill those half-breeds. "Don't destroy the buildings if you can." I felt a smirk form on my, and I turned to the street where they were coming from. "Damon, take that one." I heard my father say, motioning to a different street.

"On it." Damon said, and as I was walking towards the half-breeds, Damon and I looked at one another, then turned away, facing the streets where the half-breeds were. I was smiling now; it was time to show off a little. I started moving mana and aether around me, within me, and got ready to attack.

The half-breeds before me were already conjuring shields, they were moving mana just like me, preparing to strike. A void blade appeared in my hand, earthen spears appeared all around me as I formed them out of dirt within the streets, then brought aether to my open hand and pointed it at the force.

I then released the spells at the half-breeds, the beam of aether tore through a couple of them, stone spears sliced through others, dealing damage, then they shot at me. I could sense and see spells of all elements heading my way, this was going to be interesting, I snapped my fingers and a mana barricade formed between us.

The spells were blocked, then the half-breeds were on me. I dodged a sword, then a spear, plunged my sword into someone's stomach, then ripped it out and deflected an ax to the ground. I brought more aether to me, storing around my body, then instead of shooting one large aether beam, I shot multiple tiny ones, they cut through mages with ease, their mana shields blocking some of them, but not all of them.

I took a head off another mage, got hit in the face with a soulfire blade, got struck in the chest by an acidic vine, then conjured another mana shield around my body, so that I had time to defend myself without it. I stepped my foot down onto the ground, and in all directions of me, forming a ten yard radius, the street shifted, starting to reshape, and spikes appeared all throughout it.

I shot an aether beam to my left and right, killing a couple mages, some were protected by shields, then I smirked as I started to use gravity magic. A couple of mages before me rose into the sky, then I brought them down increasing the gravity, and they fell at an insane speed, getting impaled by the earth spikes I had formed with the street.

I stayed where I was at, the street around me was still filled with spikes, some of those spikes had half-breeds on them. There were others around me, between spikes, they were wounded, but alive, facing me, the ones on the outside of my ten yard radius were started to fly and walk through the spike field I had made.

I deflected a sword, then reformed the street, trapping a couple of them within it, the ones alive broke themselves free, but the others were going to be buried underneath forever. I formed another aether beam and shot it through a couple more mages, dodged and ax, then rolled under an electric bolt, got hit in the chest with a black spike.

I rolled off the spike before it could kill me or seriously injured me, it did leave a big hole in my chest, but I slowly pushed aether and blood magic to it, closing the wound, but was unable to heal the organs within me. I rolled my eyes as another spike shot at me, but I dodged it this time, then another, and more and more different spells, but I conjured a mana shield to block them.

A spear came down, I deflected it, then dodged a sword, got hit by a wind blade of some sorts, slicing my chest a little, drawing a decent amount of blood. I slid my blade into the skull of a mage, but as I was going to remove it, the blade was stuck in their skull. I was trying to get it free, but an ax came down on me, almost cutting my arm off, but I released the blade before it did.

It was time to use my father's magic, out of all the blood magic he was able to pass on to us, I was given blood healing and core manipulation. I was able to block the usage of mana from being used externally using blood, but unlike my father, I was limited to how many mages I could control. I dove into the cores of the people in the back, knowing they were shooting spells from afar, I could see the ones forming around me up close, so I left them go.
