Saga of Atlantis

Chapter 125: Burning flames

[Frist Person POV:- Eden]

As my fingers wrapped around its delicate form, a soft hum resonated through my being, a vibration that seemed to bridge the gap between the tangible and the ethereal.

"What are you doing here?" A sharp but startled voice brought me back to my senses as I looked towards the opening of the tomb.

One person stood there, his gaze wandering around the place as he tried to understand the destruction that had happened in the place.

"Alvin, we need to move now!" Another voice came from the outside, and a familiar voice at that.

I looked towards the entrance only to find a mature woman with long, dark caramel-colored hair that caught my attention.

’Professor Alvin and Geilna, what are they doing here?’ I couldn’t help but wonder why they were present here instead of being there to protect the students.

Beside her, a group of knights were also present as their attention was on the fallen knights that were sprawled outside of the tomb like structure.

"There is another one of the terrorists in here, Geilna. I will be there after I subdue him," Alvin shouted as he swiftly took out a sword, ready to attack me.

"I can help with it; first, let’s subdue him, and then we can go towards the students," Geilna suggested as she tried to intervene, entering the building.

"No, students should take priority for now. I can take care of him; he is not that strong," Alvin replied as he took deep breaths to compose himself.

’Now, that’s some misunderstanding there,’ I thought as I gave professer Alvin a peculiar look.

Though I am weaker than him in Origin level, I am pretty sure I can at least beat him in combat.

And if we fight for the first time, I can guarantee I can win by using the surprise element.

Him being the weakest amoung the class teachers didn’t help him much either.

"Alright, be careful!" Geilna’s voice once again resonated throughout the place before she started to run towards towards the center of the city.

{Star Sense}

Spreading the star energy around me, I quickly formed a link towards a corner of the building, and a thin thread-like line connected the two space nodes.

{Space Wrap}

With a flicker of star energy, the egg-like object in my hand quickly disappeared as I hid it in a safe place.

Due to it having similar features to a living organism, it cannot be stored in the inventory or inside a space ring, so the best course of action was to keep it aside until I take care of him.

"Why did you do this?" Alvin asked me as he was trying his best to hold back his anger.

’how strong is he Edda?’ Instead of replying i asked about his level and a answer immediately came back.

[Origin Level 8]

’Hmm, he is not that strong huh?’ I thought as I looked at his reddish face filled with anger.

I mean, he still has royal bloodline inside him, so seeing the resting place of his ancestors getting destroyed like this... it shouldn’t be a good feeling.

"Just because..." I replied with a smirk behind my mask as I took out a normal spear from the inventory.

I won’t get a chance every day to fight with a person with a higher origin level than me.

And I am not sure if I can kill him, not I want to as he has his role to fulfill, so showing him my trump card right now isn’t the best thing.

"You mocked our ancestors’ resting place just because!" Alvin barked as he took a battle stance.

’Hmm, let’s play for a while I will finish this before the second explosion occurs.’

Thinking this, I made a mental note to finish the fight within a few minutes.

Before going back towards the rest of the class.

Truth behind told things will go more hectic after the second explosion so I atleast need to be there before that happens.

"In the name of my ancesto—"

{Space Wrap}

"You talk too much." Before he could even finish his sentence I wrapped arriving in front of him and swing my spear horizontally making an arc.

*Gasp*

Gasping in suprise he hurried step he back down narrowly avoiding the attack.

"An elf?" Alvin mumbled as he adjusted his posture, his words filled with bewilderment and surprise, "What’s an elf doing here?"

Well humans can’t use space magic so his guess wasn’t baseless but..

"Like I said, you talk too much," I replied with a tinge of annoyance as I swung my spear again.

This time Alvin was able to counter as his sword slashed through the air, colliding with my spear.

My hand jerked back a little because of the difference in strength.

Using his momentum to my advantage, I stepped back and readjust my posture.

But the silver lining of his sword quickly came into my view.

Without hesitation, I took a step back, but at the same time, I stabbed my spear forward, aiming at his guts.

Having a long-range weapon has its perks.

"Argh.."

The spear scratched the side of his abdomen, making Alvin groan in pain.

He tried to parry the attack, but I was a step ahead of him, using his momentum I swung my body around making a full arc with the spear as he tried to increase the distance between them.

With a quick steps backwards he arrived at the entrance of the building the scenes of chaos outside the building came into my view.

"You are a good fighter," Alvin remarked as he started to cover his body with Aura, "but you are weaker than me."

’So, he is resorting to having a long-term battle.’ I thought as I understood his intentions; in terms of skill, I am at a higher level than him, but if only origin level was kept in mind, he is three levels ahead of me.

’It’s not like I plan to fight for a long time,’ I thought as I looked at him covering his sword with aura.

Not giving him too much chance, I quickly stepped forward, barging him with a series of strikes. He kept dodging backward until he was ready to use Aura.

And once he was ready, he braced my foot against the ground.

A sliver line flew towards me at a terrifying speed.

_Whoosh_

{Space Wrap}

However, his sword only slashed the air as I quickly used {Space Wrap} to arrive beside him.

He looked taken aback by the situation, but he still gritted his teeth and with unbalanced footsteps tried to attack me.

But I quickly brought my spear in between coated with Aura, blocking his attack.

After regaining his balance, he tried to slash his sword horizontally, or he tried to, but I quickly swung my spear aiming at his neck.

He quickly blocked it, and if he hadn’t done that, his head would surely have been split apart.

{Wings Of The Phoenix}

As he was defending himself, a wing of mesmerizing pure white flame formed behind me.

I quickly manipulated the flames, making a ball out of it and threw it at him.

’Ka-me-ha-me- just kidding.’

The intensity of the flame was enough to throw him in the air, where the ball of flames exploded, creating a cluster of white flames in the sky.

_Crack_

But as he firmly held his sword, defending himself from the burning flames, I arrived beside him with {Space Wrap}.

Covering my legs with Aura, I kicked his knees, and a cracking sound resonated as he quickly descended downwards.

"Argh.."

He groaned in pain, his eyes full of astonishment with trembling lips as he collided with the ground, but he quickly stood up as I again arrived in front of him, he took a step back, albeit his left leg was forcefully dragged.

Blood ghused out from him knees and the degree of burns over his body was numerous but he still held his sword tightly ready to fight again.

He again swung his sword but it was slow then before and the aura was a lot thinner that it was used to be.

I titled my body a little easily evading his attack.

He then attacked me with consecutive of attacks but I easily dodged them.

"Why is an elf even her—Arggh"

Before he could complete his sentence, I kicked him with a round kick at his abdomen, making him stumble on his feet.

’It should be enough.’ I thought as I looked at him huffing and groaning in pain.

"It was a good fight, now bye.."

{Space Wrap}

I arrived in front of the egg-like object, holding it in my hand I inspected if there was any type of damaged done to it but to my relief it was perfectly fine.

"It’s time to meet them..." Mumbling, I looked towards the center of the city where another fight was going on.
