The Spade Amongst Clovers

Chapter 32 Third Eye

As Licht was gathering tremendous amounts of mana in his hands, Kyoya was gathering mana around his whole body. Seeing this, Licht spoke up to the boy.

"You're already exhausted, yet you have enough power to cast such a spell. To be honest, I might have a little trouble with this. Such a spell must have a great price."

"Heh, don't think I won't use it. If you're so confident then why try to talk me out of it. You're the leader right?! Surely you can take a spell from a third rate mage like me, right?!"

As this was happening, Yami noticed something about Kyoya's body. It almost looked like the boy's body was slowly turning into ice. Not only that, he felt that Kyoya's ki was getting smaller and smaller as he puts more power into his spell.

"Ki is the life energy that people give off. If Kyoya's ki is getting smaller as he's using that spell then that means...."

Yami couldn't believe what Kyoya was doing. The boy was about to give up his own life, just to save everyone but himself. He was already low on magic power so he couldn't stop Licht's attack. So this must be the only solution Kyoya can come up with.

"I'll seal you and that magic of yours away with all my power!!!!"

"I don't wanna die."

As Yami looked at Kyoya's hands. He noticed how they were shaking uncontrollably. He knew that Kyoya is afraid of dying, so why. Even though he doesn't wanna die, why is he smiling.

"I'll put a stop to you here and now!!!!!!"

"I don't wanna die. I don't wanna die. I don't wanna die!!!! But....if I die, maybe I can be free from this curse. If I die, I can see my parents again. If I die, I can see Ur and Natsu again. If I die, I won't be alone anymore......"

The more that Kyoya thought about it, the more his smile grew and the more that his body was shaking. If he dies, he won't be consumed by fear. If he dies, he won't be harmed by the curse. In his eyes, he's already lost everything. Plus who would miss a nobody like him anyways.

"Well then, let's see if your spell has as much power as you say. Light Magic:Light Shaft of Divine Punishment!"

Licht concentrates light between his hands until it builds into a large sphere. The light is released in a column of light that was too fast and wide to avoid. Just as this happened, Kyoya was ready to use his own spell.

"Heh, good thing i've always been alone. That means no one will miss me. Ice Sealing Magic:Iced She-"

Before Kyoya could cast his spell a spatial magic portal appeared in front of him. As this happened, Gauche jumped out of the portal as he revealed his left magic eye.

"Mirror Magic:Full Reflect!!!!!"
