The Bell

  Hojoi fell to the floor with mental pain. His head felt like getting hammered. His eyes were burning like they were set on a barbecue grill.

  He fell unconscious quickly.

  If he were here, does that mean? Indhra turned his gaze to the side to see Derrick lying on his back on the table while surrounded by Kyra and Aldred, who were trying to help him.

  *

  Wind and a red aura clashed as the fight between the Setsu and the Zenin continued.

  Both of them stopped the fight for a minute, gazing at each other menacingly.

  " As part of 'Zenin,' you're using nature mana! That is disgusting!" Labrica commented with a smirk in her tone. She succeeded in provoking Shinsu. Shinsu gritted her teeth in rage as she said with a grunt in her tone," Keep..." She made a long, light green colour sword using her wind Nature Mana," Keep Zenin...out of my damn EARS!" She leaped with great speed as the ground behind her shattered to dust and rubble. Labrica looked at her flying for a second; she could only gaze at the afterimages.

  Labrica snapped her fingers. A dark purple portal opened, and a dark black sword covered in her mana appeared in her hand through the portal. She quickly lifted her sword and placed it in front of her, which then clashed with Shinsu's sword, held by Shinsu, who was covered in green.

  Shinsetsu lifted her leg and kicked Labrica's stomach, causing the clash to send her flying up to tear through the ceiling and fly in the sky, where the pure white moon illuminated the long, massive two castles of Luvinia.

  Labrica, while in the air, looked down to see the flair of Shinsu flying towards her. With a flash, the Setsu kicked the Zenin in the stomach while the white pure serenity of the Moon blessed her from behind. Green aura blasted with gold traces with her kick in the middle of the sky, in front of the silver shining moon.

  A green aura had covered her while a green-golden strip made by her mana crossed her right eye, which looked like the branches of trees. Two green wings popped out of her back with the release of her green aura, while the moonlight shone through the gaps.

  Labrica coughed up blood with the kick, and it felt like a concussion.

  Shinsu yeeteed her by the kick and left out a deep exhale as Labrica flew high.

  Labrica flew up high to the stars while blood dripped from her mouth to Shinsu.

  Zenin! She shouted to herself as a portal opened beside her. A folded blue piece of clothing came out as she picked it up and spread it out.

  Labrica hopped on the blue carpet as a red aura covered it. The carpet flew through the air at high speed while Labrica stood on top of it.

  Shinsu from below saw this while a drop of Labrica's blood fell on her cheeks.

  She flapped her wings, moving with great speed as she chased her archenemy, the Zenin!

  *

  Ahh!!! Well, finally I can meet with my family after two days! A person with dark circles said to himself while walking through the dark, red, gloomy, suffocating streets of Luvinia.

  Damn, Krieg...he made me work continuously for two days without any rest, such an asshole manager! He ranted about his two days of continuous work as he walked. But then he heard a sound, a sound of wind gushing in the sky.

  Flap...Flap...Flap

  The sound echoed. He got alerted and quickly looked up to see two people fighting in the sky.

  Shinsu released a bomb made of wind at the carpet, which came a bit too near the worker. Labrica dodged by steering to the side.

  The bomb, with speed, flew through the wind as it appeared in front of the worker. He gasped at the sight as the space bent down for him. He quickly covered his face with his arms. He closed his eyes in fear, but that was when he felt a whip tied to his stomach and pulling him to the side. He fell on the ground, away from his earlier position. He opened his eyes to see an explosion in the sky.

  " GET FAR FROM HERE-" Labrica shouted after saving him. Her voice was cut out by the speed.

  She saved him? You Lemoyne's are so confusing! Shinsu gasped while flapping her wings. Her image towards Lemoynes was slowly changing with this battle, but her vision said otherwise.

  Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

  She used her left hand to throw wind bombs.

  Keep saving, it is just going to slow you down! Shinsu commented with her voice having a slight grit with rage engulfing it.

  Labrica used a dark lasso covered in a red aura, her mana, to deflect the bombs while dodging to keep them away from the resident houses. Shinsu threw a bomb at her as she pulled out a red kunai from her portal and threw it at her while using her mana as a propellant. The kunai hit her left wing, damaging it. She slowly fell to the ground on the road.

  Shinsu used her sword to avoid contact with the ground, while her right wing kept flapping, maintaining her momentum in the air, as she used her mana to let her float on top of the ground. The honks of a car filled her ears, and the bright lights blinded her eyes. She kept her foot on the ground, stopped moving her wings, as the blurry vision turned clear. She jumped high, using her mana to boost herself and landed on the car while her left wing healed. The wings flapped as she flew high up while the car below her moved in a zig-zag motion due to the shockwave of her flapping her wings, and then crashed into a house.

  Her body spun 360 while chasing the Zenin while slicing through the opposite wind.

  The civilians woke up due to the commotion and glared at the chase with awe.

  Shinsu blasted a few bombs at her, three if counted.

  Labrica dodged and deflected two, but couldn't steer in time to dodge the third one, so she jumped to the side to a rooftop of a building as the bomb collided with the carpet and blasted it to smithers.

  Shinsu landed on the terrace of the building, huffing as she took deep breaths.

  Labrica clenched her lasso as Shinsu said," You're kind! You were putting on an act in front of us, weren't you?"

  " It doesn't matter to you whether I am kind or not!" She replied coldly," I am only here to complete the Zenin clan's job!" She really was acting. Deep inside, she thought something different. The never-ending curse of hatred! The curse given three thousand years ago...Why am I? Why am I still following the footsteps of the past, even though I know the truth? No, my body is moving on its own! It's not about any 'Zenin' or 'Setsu', it was always about him! The vision of her brother getting murdered by Indhra and Shinsu haunted her again.

  The Zenin...She is different, though! From the stories of those assholes only thing I know is that they were and are ruthless bloodlusting killers and don't hesitate before murdering an innocent for their own benefit! But...why is she saving common people? She sure is a mistake of the Zenin clan in a good way!

  Labrica pulled and threw her red glowing lasso at her, who in return dodged. Many attacks were thrown at the top of the ceiling by the whip, but all were dodged. Shinsu kept on flapping her wings to keep dodging.

  She flew through the wind and raised her sword at Labrica, who, in return, tossed her sword in her left hand and held it with her right, throwing the lasso in the portal at the same time. Her dark sword clashed with her light-green sword. It happened again and again. Each clash produced a wave of energy with bright light, a mix of both red and green colours. All the civilians watching this epic action gasped at the beautiful rainbow made of only two colours.

  At one point, Shinsu's sword's tip grazed the dark sword, which made sparks. She moved her sword. Labrica dodged by ducking down, but a few centimetres of her hair got sliced by the green sword.

  Labrica, after ducking, slid on the ground below her by rubbing her body on top of it. She turned back while sliding and threw her sword. Shinsetsu quickly sliced the dark sword in two halves.

  Shinsu lifted her left hand forward and threw two wind bombs at Labrica, who pulled out her lasso with a ring, on top of which was a blue gemstone. She deflected one bomb in the sky and one below her, which produced enough dust to cover her.

  Huh? Shinsu covered her eyes to protect them from the dust which rose from the blast below her.

  The dust settled down, and she opened her eyes to see Labrica disappear from her place.

  Where did she...dammit!

  *

  The Ring of Folly makes you invisible for a few minutes or so! It can also hide your mana signatures, hence her Mana Vision cannot sense me! Labrica said while standing on a balcony of a house. She was away from Shinsu enough that she wouldn't be able to sense her Mana with this much distance, so she decided to remove the ring.

  She rotated it many times while sitting on the floor of the balcony, while the calm wind brushed her hair.

  She is surely stronger than I expected, atleast stronger than ten years ago...So I had to run away, I would have easily been killed if I had stayed there any longer.

  Also, I noticed hate in her eyes while I fought with her. It was similar to mine...I felt myself inside her eyes. Maybe...someone close to her family was killed just like me. She grunted. It doesn't matter, I must kill her! I will take my revenge on her and Indhra!

  But...for now, I must go back to the cafe, help others instead of fighting a fight which I cannot win alone! I need their help!

  She was tired from the battle, but still she stood up and hopped from the boundary of the balcony to the road and started to sprint towards Indhra's cafe.

  She opened a portal beside her and pulled out a machine, a really large machine, almost the size of her body. It had two boosters behind; it looked like a small plane with two wings and boosters attached to each wing. It had a belt.

  She tied the jetpack using the belt on the back and held the controllers, which were attached to the front side. She pressed a button, and flames were produced from the boosters, which propelled her to fly on the roads of Luvinia.

  Gotta agree, Menchent surely cooks in technology! I wouldn't be able to reach the cafe so early if this didn't...Huh? Her Mana Vision tingled.

  She quickly steered herself to the right. As she moved, a green sword pierced the wind from her left and suddenly moved backwards.

  She turned back and saw Shinsu holding her green sword.

  " You're not leaving so easily!" She said with a deep tone.

  How did she? Labrica grunted. F**k it! I will pierce through her, right here, right now!

  She pulled out another sword, almost the same texture as the other one, from her portal while giving an annoyed expression.

  " Fine! I will kill you then!" Labrica shouted, her words echoed throughout the streets to the houses. Every civilian on the ground saw both of them as the fight had just begun.
