Orb Guardians [Volume 1: Fire]

Chapter 7.4: Judgment

Chapter 7: Obtaining the Sword of Fire

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

"Nix, let me go," Zephania said.

Nix nodded and flew over to the Sword of Fire. The fire that had blocked the entrance was now gone and Zephania walked over to Blaise.

"Blaise, calm down," Zephania said.

"How am I supposed to calm down!" Blaise yelled.

Blaise's ruby-red eyes were filled with rage and hate. The rage of having his gifted shirt from a special someone and the hate of the one who had ruined it.

"Relax. I'll sew your shirt after your battle is over." Zephania calmly said.

Blaise grew calmer slightly but anger still remained within his eyes. Blaise clicked his tongue and picked up his sword. Zephania then went back to the entrance and Nix then covered the entrance with its fire.

"Let's continue," Blaise grumbled.

The Fire Guardian nodded. He felt... a little scared and that was quite surprising.

Before the Fire Guardian can speak, Blaise had run up to him. His speed was very different and inhuman. The Fire Guardian ran straight to Blaise to test Blaise.

Blaise then thrust his sword to the Fire Guardian's abdomen. The Fire Guardian dodged and immediately began fighting back. Blaise's sword movements were much better than before and much more swift than before. The fierce gaze within his ruby-red eyes was lit with rage. A little fire can be seen within those ruby red eyes of his.

Just as the Fire Guardian was about to thrust his sword into Blaise's shoulder, Blaise disappeared. "Where did he go!?"

Blaise appeared behind his back. Gripping onto his sword with both of his hands, he stabs the Fire Guardian onto his back. The Fire Guardian was lucky enough to dodge as soon as he sensed Blaise behind him.

"That was close!" the Fire Guardian thought.

"Tch." Blaise scowled.

"You've improved in just little time? How can you do better than you did before, Blaise?" the Fire Guardian asked.

"You already know it," Blaise replied.

Running up to the Fire Guardian, the Fire Guardian also ran towards him. The room echoed with the sounds of metal clashing even more but it was more fierce this time.

"Fire Technique: Fireball!"

Balls of fire flew over to the Fire Guardian. As it flew over to the Fire Guardian, Blaise continued running towards the Fire Guardian. Instead of taking in the fireballs this time, the Fire Guardian deflects them back to Blaise. Blaise also deflects the fireballs back to the Fire Guardian.

As fast as they deflected the fireballs, it became a mini battle of who was going to miss a fireball. Blaise took this chance to duck down and stab his sword into the Fire Guardian's leg.

Heading with this plan, Blaise ducked down as soon as the Fire Guardian had deflected one last fireball. Sliding under the fireballs that flew over him, Blaise smirked. The Fire Guardian stepped back as Blaise decided that the plan he had wasn't going to work.

"Fire Technique: Fire Blast!"

A gust of fire appeared and hid Blaise within its flames. The Fire Guardian looked around him, knowing that Blaise was serious about this. Though Blaise had only ran straight towards him, he knew Blaise would at least run around him somewhere.
