"You foul spirit, you've been living among these foolish humans for years as their king," Ashburn said, pointing his staff at Roy who was still relaxed on the throne.
"No, no, I wouldn't be foolish to get this opportunity and waste it acting like I'm their king for years." He said sitting up on the throne. "I just took control yesterday."
"You possessed him against his will," Ashburn said.
He was being cautious now and was slowly taking a few steps back, he was confident that he could hold his ground with the staff of vagus but these demons from the dark dimension could be tricky, his last encounter with one of them wasn't a funny one, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"Possessed him yes, against his will no," Roy said as he slowly got up from the throne. "We made a deal so I don't see anything wrong here."
"What deal?"
"I told him I would bring back his daughters and free his kingdom from your rising oppression."
Bring back his daughters and free his kingdom from oppression and then you turn around and become the oppressor." Ashburn articulated.
"I never said that I was going to free his Kingdom from the oppression that I was going to bring, I said I was going to free it from your silent oppression and the part about bringing back his daughters." He said with a smirk on his face. "Let's just say I always keep my promises."
As soon as those words left his mouth, the swords hanging on both sides quickly flew up from the molded hands that were holding them to the wall and headed toward the Elven king at full speed.
That was an attempt to take his head off but he wasn't going to stand there and watch his head get taken off, he quickly struck his staff on the ground to create a bright purple some around himself and as soon as the swords hit the dome from both sides, they got blasted back.
After successfully blocking that attack from Roy, Ashburn didn't waste time in sending an attack of his own toward him.
He muttered a few words before striking the floor with his staff as four large purple balls appeared above Roy and before he could make a move, all four balls came crashing down on him.
Those attacks had created a thick smoke in the area and had Ashburn thinking he got him for a few seconds until the smoke slowly began to clear and he searched the area with his eyes to see that there was nobody there.
"No." The elf wizard muttered with a horrid look on his face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Do you think you can hurt me with that staff?"
The wizard bit his lower lip as he heard that deep menacing voice from behind because he knew what was coming next.
He felt a stinging pain on his back as he was sent flying until he crashed on the throne destroying the whole structure as he hit it.
"That staff draws its powers mainly from dark magic," Roy said, moving closer to him as he slowly got up from the floor. "Guess what I'm made of, pure dark magic and that's not even the best part."
Ashburn was breathing heavily now as he pointed his staff at him while slowly moving back.
"Shadow spears," Roy muttered as numerous purple energy spears rose from the floor and were all pointing toward the Elven king now.
"Shadow witch," Ashburn muttered with a horrid expression on his face. "But how? You demons can't cast shadow spells."
"You're right, we can't but I can," Roy said before he sent the spears flying toward him with the wave of both of his hands.
The moment he saw him summon the shadow spears was the moment he realized that this fight wasn't one that he came prepared for.
The wizard struck his staff on the ground and got covered by bright purple just before the spears could get to him.
Seeing that the wizard had made the run for it, Roy snapped his fingers as all the spears vanished before they could hit the wall.
"I'll bring the fight to you just like you brought it to me, very soon."

After telling Tania and Luis about what was going on at the moment in Asaka and showing them the dark portal, Jude had gone on to tell them all the things that had happened since his return.
"So, you two are elves," Tania said slowly, turning her gaze to the elf twins.
"Yeah," Tuchel said with a little nod.
"That explains the beanies," Luis muttered.
"Can I see your ears?" Tania asked.
"I don't think here's the right place," Layla said, looking around the area to see that there were a few students and soldiers around the area.
"Yeah, here's not the right place," Tuchel said, shaking his head.
"Okay," Tania said before turning her gaze back to her brother. "So you guys are trying to bring Mother, Father, and Matilda here."
"Yeah," Jude replied.
"And then the rest of the people will suffer in the hands of Roy." She said with a pained voice.
"There's nothing that we can do about it, we can try bringing all of them here slowly but Roy will definitely find out at some point and then he will find the portal and come here and that would lead to another problem."
"I think the leaders and the military will handle him just fine," Layla said.
"Yeah, but what will they think when they find out that you were the one that led him here and that you have been leading people from another world to their world?" Jude turned his gaze to the Lieutenant to say.
"Yeah, that's not a good idea."
"I understand what you're saying Jude but there has to be another way to save them from Roy," Tania said.
"The only way to save them is defeating Roy and finding out what's wrong with him, there are people who can defeat him here but how do you convince them to go fight an unknown person in an unknown world, the other kingdoms wouldn't even intervene?" Jude said.
After saying that, Tania slowly turned his gaze to Luis before turning it back to his brother.
"Tell me when Mother and Father get here, we have to go now." She said before grabbing Luis by his arm and making her way out of the area pulling him along.
"Why did she look at him like that?" Tuchel asked as soon as the two had gone down and were out of sight.

Mason had an annoyed look on his face as he slowly walked into the third-year male dormitory area of Phoenix academy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere were about five students standing by the side when he entered and seeing him enter, they turned their gaze to him.
Mason was planning to ignore the way they were looking at him until….
"Hey, look, it's Mason the disc-dodging champion who lost to a first-year student from Crockel academy." A student with red spiky hair said before bursting into a feat of laughter with the rest of the third-year students in the area.
"Of all academies, it had to be Crockel academy."
"That's why I always say that you have a pea-sized brain, did you expect me to lose to the other two participants whose participants got eliminated at earlier levels?" He tried so hard to ignore him but he was already trying to contain his anger before coming into the area and those words were more than enough to burst him.
"What did you just say to me?" The red-haired student said as two large fireballs suddenly appeared in both of his hands.
"That's the best you can do, throw fireballs at me," Mason said without a single hint of fear in his voice or expression.
The student was about to throw the fireball at him when his hands were suddenly pulled back by one of the students behind him.
"He's not worth the trouble."
The red-haired trouble stared at him for a while before turning his gaze back to Mason.
"Why don't you go celebrate your loss against a first-year student and wait for the fighting competition so that I can show you how winning works." He said.
"I can't wait," Mason muttered before making his way toward his dorm room.
He put his watch on the scanning system to scan it and after scanning it, the door unlocked and he pushed it open to find Nova sitting on his bed with her legs crossed and a book in her hands while his roommate was fast asleep on his bed, there was nothing strange about that except for the fact that his snores seemed to be louder than usual.
"Hello, Mason," Nova said before slowly putting the book away.
"I remember that voice," Mason muttered.
"Of course you do," Nova said with a calm smile on her face.
"How did you get in here?"
"I don't think that's what you should be worrying about now," Nova said. "Why don't you come have a seat so that we can talk things out?" She added, tapping her hand on the space beside her.
