Bataille De La Magia (Auregon Trilogy Book 2) - UNDER REVISION

Chapter 38: Clove vs Serena (Revised)

3rd

The group finalized their strategy, all aboard in Shiro's reckless plan. Shiro's flames continue to coil around her, extuinguishing itself if needed. They'll to act fast or Serena might escape from their grasp. They marched their way out of the room, heading towards the spiral staircase leading to the top of the tower.

Their plan of attack in mind, weapons at hand and their bodies ready to be smacked on a wall and the floor. Prepared to endure a fiery battle between their strongest foe yet so far. They were able to tie everything in place, each connections making sense. From Reiki, Sheena and Shiro's punishment mission and encounter with Urie, to Alfred's battle with Fire at the same time. To the emergency meetings and Prince Gregory's change of personality. Everything tied up to this point. Everything is linked to them being its source.

Serena stood up in the middle of the room. She has finished the ritual and the answer to her question is finally answered. The location of the Lumenlux Shrine. She immediately took a piece of paper from a journal, peeling it off and writing it down. Bunch of numbers written on it. She rolled the paper and slid it in inside a small bottle.

The blood moon glittering in red light and the Mystic Ball in the same color with hues of black and white.

Shiro stayed far behind the group, passive in movement and concealing her aura. Anne rushed up, leading the whole team as she explodes the locked wooden door, pieces and splinters of wood flying everywhere.

Serena, surprised by their sudden arrival, tucked the Mystic Ball behind her. She slid the small bottle behind her clothes, hiding it away from them. She sensed her comrades' auras slipping away. Another sensation arose from her, sensing another set of aura from afar. One that she never expects to interfere.

She was thinking of escaping but as things stands, she doubts she'll live longer. She knew that even if she escapes, she'll be killed by the third party. At isang bagay iyon na hindi niya hahayaang mangyari. Dahil ayaw niyang mapunta sa kamay nila ang lokasyon ng Lumenlux Shrine.

Anne charged forward, both hands holding a dagger as she swung both at Serena. She ducked, blocking the daggers with her metal-sheet weaponized nails. She gouged forward, aiming for Anne's eyes. Anne bombed the space between them, stepping backwards and ignoring the explosion. Serena fall back from the sudden explosion, pulling herself out of the way.

Reiki scooted behind her, throwing an uppercut. She faced him and blocked his punch with her palm, throwing Reiki to the wall. Claude followed, swinging his hammer diagonally. Lightning flashed on the end of the weapon, sparking nonstop. Serena leaped, avoiding Claude in the air and scratching his back with her sharp nails. Spring of blood sprawled out from his back, plunging forward with a remarkable stance.

Miku sprung in the action, drawing his sword out of its sheath. He attempted to slash her from behind but failed. Hinarap siya ni Serena, only to be scratched on the arm. Hindi nagpapigil si Miku at iwinasiwas pa ng isang beses ang kaniyang espada. It scratched Serena on cheeks, blood dripped from her side. She wiped it off and Miku stumbled backwards.

Muling umatake si Anne at pinasabog ang paligid ni Serena. A black circle appeared from Serena's hand, absorbing the explosions crumbling and clamoring around her. The explosions disappeared, along with the aura energy contained within it.

Lightning flashed across her face, sprinting around her. Serena followed the lightning, waiting for it to commense its move. Claude appeared, a ball of lightning on one palm. Iniharang ni Serena ang isang kamay and took the damage. A black energy formed again in her palms, dissipating the ball of lightning as soon as it touched her palm.
