Aspiration to the Heavens: Becoming the Supreme Mage Vol 2- Descent of Darkness

Episode 122: Revenge at Long Last?

*Kun*

"Need help?" a voice called out. We turned to see Eien and his team.

"You guys!" Lei said, grinning.

"I'll go help the earth users," Enkaku said, rushing over to join us.

Iah, he, and I raised the earth around Aida but she easily broke the rocky confines with a serious of hardy roots.

"No way," Mayu said. She held out her arms to try to pry the wood around the titan but it wouldn't budge. "Incredible..."

"Let's burn her!" Eien suggested.

"Yeah," Boukyaku said before taking a deep breath.

"Wait! Yanyu and Ning are inside!" Xing yelled. He watched as his serpent continued to devour branch after branch. Its speed had slowed from when we first arrived.

"Move aside, everyone, we're going to blast that thing's wooden façade!" Yen, Lei, and I yelled in unison. We triplets released our unity attack on her but the vines and branches quickly healed until it was as if nothing had happened.

Roots spread out of the restores appendages and reached out for Hikaru who remained afloat.

"Hika, get away!" I yelled.

Yuzuki warped to her brother but a root grabbed her and pulled her down. She tried to warp away, but the restraints were too tight.

"Yuzu!" Lei screamed. He sent blades of wind at the roots but those were intercepted by branches. "Move out of my way!"

The branches moved around his blades of wind with the elegance of a hummingbird. My heart seemed to give out as one of them smacked him on the chest, sending him toward Mt. Rios. Dots of blood trickled down from the air.

"Lei!" Yen and I yelled.

My sister kicked her feet in the air, moving as fast as she could to catch up to our brother.

Something smacked Yen in the middle of the sky, sending her falling.

*Boom*

A cloud of dust erupted from the northern flank of my mother's ancestral mountain. It had to be Lei...

"No..." I said, holding my head. I collapsed to my knees. "Lei... Yen..."

Aida laughed. "Now it's your turn!"

"You won't hurt Kun!" Hikaru said appearing in front of me. Dark appendages had appeared on his back and his eyes were deep red.

The Owari no Me...

Hikaru froze time and dashed around as fast as he could while his sister tore the roots grabbing her. Rupts in the fabric of space appeared all around the colossus.

The thing though continued to move and heal, though Hikaru was breaking it faster than it could recover.

"How can it still be moving as if nothing?" Yuzuki said. She let out a grunt as she collapsed to her knees.

"Yuzuki, Ciji, protect her," Iah said.

"Don't tell that you're interested in h-"

"Just do as I say!" he screamed.

"O-okay," she said, turning around and running to aid the tired Yuzuki.

"It's not enough," Yuzu murmured. "This this is unstoppable..."

I gasped as I recalled Nahimana's words. "Is she a shard of light after all?" I asked. No way. She was meant to be our ally against the abyss? How?
