Legend of the Immortal

Downhill

In the throne room.

"<Freezing Sun, Burning Winter>! First step! <Frost Fire>!" Rica shouted, performing a perfect uppercut to parry away the hand coming reaching for her.

The first step of this method taught by the creator, Belle, used water and fire elements, depending on surroundings, it had varying levels of power.

In places with more fire particles, the 'explosive' and 'devouring' component would fare better whilst in water, the 'shatter' and 'absorb' components would be stronger.

However, even with the added advantage, the sword art containing all her power seemed to leave not even a minor scratch.

"Hm, good skill but no power! You must find the balance to defeat me! With only precision alone, one cannot win! Like how an assassin cannot beat a tanker in a face to face battle!" The man shouted.

He pulled his arms back, preparing to hit and Rica closed her eyes ready for the impact.

"No! Rica!" Jamie shouted as he chanted another spell,"[Breeze Knock]!"

The spell pushed Rica away but the ever destructive fist never reached her in the first place.

The man stood there, frozen in place like some realistic artwork as if being held in place.

Then, from the side came a hooded figure.

"We have company. We have no way of beating them. They've taken out most of our troops instantaneously. They're not someone you can deal with. Let's go." The figure said.

"Bah! Fine. Ladies and gents, I have to go now, if you wish to meet me, once again, I will gladly do so! Only this time, if you visit me, don't even think of returning back alive." The man sneered, obviously mocking them before walking away,"Oh, and the name's Avagon Kyre." He said without turning his head back and disappeared from the side.

No one stopped him, knowing they couldn't.

"And it's done! [Green Vitality]." Belle said as she helped Nathan up.

No one saw her enter the room.

"Teacher! There's a person running around and he is absurdly strong! We require your help so ple-" Rica shouted but was interrupted before finishing by Belle.

"Oh? My help was it? Unfortunately dearie, my help comes at a very steep price dear disciple." Belle said as she walked around, accessing the room.

"But you helped me take rev-"

"I only help a disciple accomplish one personal wish. Vendetta, obtaining an item or whatever, I can do. However, make no mistake, this is a one time thing. I will take no part in this as it concerns me not. However, I might join...at the right pricing..." Belle said slyly.

"Kekek...Leader...you do know how to make jokes...right price? There is no right price to leader...to leader...everything is under you, unworthy of attention..." Nathan said hoarsely, though his body was completely healed, the mental exhaustion got to him.

"I do require certain items as of right now...for reason...not necessary stop the moment...if you could obtain said items, I may consider say...helping out?" Belle replied easily to Nathan.

"Then Miss Trinity, may I ask why you helped us just as he was about to kill my wife off?" Jamie asked Belle, he was certain she viewed either Rica or Nathan important.

"Hm? You noticed? Sharp eye." Belle mused.

"Care to tell us of the reason Miss Trinity?" Jamie asked, he could possibly take advantage of this weak point- or so he thought.
