Rise of the Twelve Star Mage

Chapter 4:ADvance UNDEr the moonlight

"Wherever there is love, there is grief. Life without it is unthinkable"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The moonlight lights up the park.

I watch on as the corpses of the undead hurl themselves at Marko.

"Ugh, they reek," Marko says slashing and dicing away at the corpses.

Marko jumps, slides, dashes, and runs through all the corpses.

Stepping on them, kicking their heads around like soccer, and using their bodies to take out other corpses. He was having a field day with them.

"Hmph" Deadman lifts his arms as the costumed corpses begin to make their advancement.

"Oop" Marko catapults himself off an undead shoulders. He easily dodges all the fireballs thrown at him in the sky as lands and defeats one. Gets up and proceeds to rush and slice through each and every one of them not even letting them cast a single fireball. Blitzing through the waves of enemies Marko swings his scythe to the right as it generates a powerful blast that demolishes the rest of the corpses.

I knew Marko was good but THIS good I was shocked at his movements, and reaction time, and everything was flawless. Although moments before I was doing the same seeing someone else do it an even cooler is sick.

"Mr.Marina you are ver-"

DASH

Marko instantly appears in front of Deadman.

"So fast that it I couldn't even see it, a flash step? I have to learn that." I thought to myself.

Marko slices Deadman in half.

"Phew, good workout. Well, let's go home."

"You're not mad at me?"

"No am just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding that you heard. Well, your mother on the other hand" as he scratches his head left hand.

We begin to walk away.

VOOSH

A sharp bone pierces Marko in the arm.

"Father" I yelled.

"It's alright just a little wound just like a scratch" Marko reassures me as he readies for battle again.

"Ah, good reflexes I was aiming for your heart" a soft but chilly voice fills the area.

Deadman has risen as he places his torso back to the rest of his body.

"I knew I should've diced you up."

"That wouldn't work either but no matter your dead now."

Marko swings his scythe as three blasts get sent hurling towards Deadman.

BOOM BOOM BOOM

DASH

Marko wastes little time again going straight for Deadman.

CLASH

"Huh"

A row of bones block the scythe attack.

"Alright how about"

Marko's scythe grows bigger as it can now destroy the bones that were generated.

Deadman gets hit again and goes flying a few feet as he uses bones to tank the attack. He's slow to get to his feet and pulls out a book.

"A book?" myself and Marko both question this.

A single magic circle appears this time a big one. A corpse emerges as he carries a sword.
