The Infinite Story Volume 1

34. Where did they go wrong

Johan jumped off Lina's back and landed a few feet away from Reginald.

"Alright, so why did you guys need me here?"

Jenn, Albi, Amantii, Lukas, Lina, Mar, Ema and Nagget were already at the scene, not Reginald.

"We might actually get to reason with these guys instead of killing them all," said Jenn in a nonchalant tone.

"One of those guys gives me the creeps," said Amantii, disgusted.

"How exactly can we work this out?" asked Johan.

"We have to wait for the deity to arrive. He surely must help you out," said Reginald as he got on his feet. "Everything can be solved without conflict."

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

Jasha jumped down from the wall and created a rope made out of magic. Using it, he swung through a window in the wall, then reappeared on the other side, using the same rope to tie up the giant wolf and throw the wolf off the wall. 

He then appeared in front of Oliver, ready to deliver a powerful punch.

Meanwhile, Jay was hurtling through the sky, with no way to stop his landing without taking any damage. Mar saw him from afar and, using his ability, pulled Jay close to him.

"Ehhhhhh," Jay said, looking at Mar. "Oh, hello there!"

"Hello," replied Mar. "What were you doing?"

"A better question would be, what are you doing up here?" Jay asked.

"I'm waiting," said Mar, looking around.

"Uhuh, maybe you should go and provide Ema support. I did manage to heal her before getting blown away by this electric guy, but we're fine."

"Uh, yeah, but shouldn't we do something to stop the fight over there?" Mar looked over at Jasha and Oliver.

Jay looked at them, his eyes glowing. "Oh yeah, throw me over there."

"Sure," said Mar as he got ready to throw Jay.

Using the momentum of the throw, Jay hit Jasha in the face before he had a chance to attack Oliver, knocking him back several feet. Jay leaped forward, closing the distance, and hit Jasha again, knocking him back further. Jasha regained his footing and landed on the ground with his hands, then pushed himself at Jay to deliver a kick. Jay dodged, and Jasha ended up behind him. Jay turned around and started running at Jasha, landing a hit, but Jasha blocked in time. They exchanged punches for a few seconds but Jasha was clearly outmatched. Jasha then infused his fist with his magic and hit Jay on the palm, pushing him back. Jasha managed to successfully land a hit on Jay's cheek, sending him flying.

Using his skullk ability, Jay stretched his leg like a rope, seizing Jasha. Jay pulled himself towards Jasha, delivering a kick to his chest and pushing him to the edge of the wall. With another punch, Jay pushed Jasha off the wall. Jasha managed to grab one of the windows, but before he could pull himself up, Jay peeked over the edge, then showed Jasha the crystal he had been protecting. Throughout the fight, Jay had stolen it. Jay smiled. He created a pile of skullk the size of a truck and threw it at Jasha, making him fall off the wall.

Jay then turned around and looked at the crystal. "How marvelous!" he said, admiring it.

But then, a boy's voice echoed...

"No! You can't have it!" Oliver shouted, running towards Jay.
