Astrovoid Shower- Celestial University Book 2: A Bully Romance

Chapter 29: Burying the Light

Several individuals watching their screens were confused while few like Madam strung the pieces together.

"He fell for it," laughing. "Calypsa," speculating the risks of her other protege and hoping she would survive the fatal injury to see fruits of her labor.

"Were you the one responsible for an attempted assassination on the Prince," the voice of the news reporter asked through a loud microphone.

"No, I simply observed an event between his peers that resulted in,"

"Me having to run for my life and crawl my way out of a mountain of Voids. He helped gaslight that stupid rumor of me being about to summon and control Voids to make it look like they'd turned against me," pointing his fingers.

" You don't care about the Voids, do you? All you've done is sacrifice everyone and once it gets to where you are."

"Lies! The Astrovoid Shower will save everyone here!"

"And you won't hesitate to use that to reduce the lives of anyone who opposes you?"

Silence at such a rebuttal led to anger.

"I'll settle with erasing you first!"

Using Cree's training, Sehki shadow surfed off the building as Lumin's pursuit cracked the sturdy structure, slamming the ground and unveiling a giant lion spirit shaped of aura after him.

Sehki drifted and pivoted from the charged and released beams of light shattering the stability of the ground and campus buildings, channeling wind energy into pivoting through the same hallway Vena and Vital chased him down at the beginning of the year.

Ducking under the debris the quadrupedal beast could only shake after crashing into walls of the Phainon Center, he watched it disintegrate as Lumin blasted the air around him to create a smaller clone, running as it rampaged through the hall after him.

"I hate the cats and dogs of this world!" Damien barked at him. "Minus you!"

Rolling up the stairs, running up the walls of the hallways, he slipped into the shadows of each room, prompting the beast to smash and trounce, giving him ample time to circle around and see the amount of magic being poured in to target him.

Still a Glass Cannon, huh. Perfect.

He left himself wide open, jumping off the ceiling in time to slip through the attack that torn a hole to the outside. Kicking away and making an ollie to the Jovetress Transits with Lumin lunging after him.

He rolled into the library and under Lumin's backhanded smash crumbling a bookshelf he used to wall jump from, kicking back from a slash splitting the one, swinging up to different floors from the relentless Void smashing through everything to get to him.

He took a gamble, rising up to the middle of the highest platform. Lumin burst up to the sky to impale him, when Sehki pumped a massive amount of magic into his surfboard, parrying his principal and deflecting him into the hole of the library.

Watching the Horrorscope about to summon the giant beast, Sehki pulled up to him with a dark whip, spinning around his body with a darkness-enhanced axe kick to the face, dragging his body through the bricks of the Juptier inspired property.

Noticing Lumin's attempt to grab his foot and spin him to the ground with energy growing in his mouth, Sehki garnered more shadows to amass a large cast around it, sliding out of it.

"StellArt Reduction!" He weaved the shadows to drown Lumin's hands, commanding them to cover his entire head with shadows as Lumin let out the roar. Before it could break, Sehki slammed the growing lion's head with his fist in the shape of a serpent's head.

He had to coat his own body to endure the impact imploding on Lumin's face and blowing them both across the campus so hard, the helicopters had to fly away from the wind.

"Haha," coughing from the blast and on one knee. "What was that about illuminating the darkness? Looks like I'm the one burying your feeble light."

"Don't mock me child! Your powers! Your naive sense of the world. You've been sheltered and handed everything since you were born!"

"And so what? You've lived your whole life in constant struggle and fighting and now you're repeating the same mistakes? I'm genuinely sorry the world screwed over your first friend, but do you genuinely believe they'd be happy to see the person they saved wasting the lives of others?"

"You have no right to talk about them! What have you done to make the lives of anyone better than running away and hiding like the coward you are?"

Sehki lowered his head, accepting he had a point.

"Not much. All I did was fight back, run, and never attempted to solve the bigger picture. But I want every action of mine to benefit the people who've granted me asylum and respect I didn't deserve," while Ophichus flew towards him.

"And I won't let you turn them into mindless creatures under that bullshit logic you consider freedom!"

Lumin gripped his heart, ripping out his aura to grant life to the lion, dubbing it Nemean.

"Then I'll show you what it means to be King," also stealing the Aura from Ram and Twin, hearing their breath harden.

"Ophiuchus, if that's tied to his powers, then let's divide and conquer!"

"Nemean, crush that traitorous Zodiac!"

The snake and giant lion charged at each, coiling around to chomp its neck and carve into their torso as their fae hosts swung respective fists of opposing elements.

The young male's constant hit-and-run shadow diving antics left Lumin firing rays of lights into the ground to pierce him out, but he made the surfboard jump off and slash him in the chest. The Horrorscope tanked the hit, catching his other punch and kick.

"King Enclavement!"

Rapid rays of light struck Sehki up into the air with every hit, reaching the height of the Zodiac beasts giving mass. Nemean blew the snake back, with a massive sphere about to fire.

"The thirteenth Zodiac will now cease to exist!"
