Chapter 17: The Third Eye
Gauche: Wait you're willingly going to take it off?
Blue: I'll need to, I need my full vision for this
Licht: So that's what you look like Blue? What happened to your eye? Was it the humans who did that? Your own team?
Blue: You don't know anything Licht so I recommend you keep your mouth shut. I know you're trying to manipulate me to come to your side.
Fana: Don't talk like that to Licht, I'll kill you
Vetto: Want me to take your other eye?
Rhya: Well the kid has some nerve for speaking like to Licht out of all people, got to give him credit though. Although he is more dull than you Fana.
Fana: It doesn't matter, I'll kill him.
Yami: Kid you ready?
Blue: Yeah.....
Immediately that Rhya guy appeared in front of Yami and touched his grimoire. He jumps back and then takes out the same katana Yami has and even used Dark magic on it.
Yami: Hey! That's copyright! Don't make me sue ya!
Blue: Does he also use Dark Magic?
Rhya: It's compound magic, I can copy the magic of others as long as I touch their grimoire, speaking of them.....your one looks really nice.
He tries to touch mine but I force him back with my shadows, Yami was fighting that Vetto guy and I had to avoid a fire blast from Fana. She uses flame magic but she had the strongest magic spirit, Salamander.
Vetto had beast magic which compliments his looks greatly.
Fana: I will kill you personally
Blue: I'd like to see you try.
She attacks me with many fire attacks that had different variety, I can tell that if I were to get hit by one of those then it won't end well for me. Salamander isn't known as the strongest magic spirit for no reason.
Fana: Stand still!
Blue: No
I send many Shadow spears at her but she uses Salamander to burn them away, the flames block her vision and once it clears she saw that I wasn't there.
She looks above her and saw that I was in the air with a shadow sword ready, I slash towards her but Salamander blocks my strike with it's body. My sword shatters and Fana was going to blast me away.
Blue: Shadow Magic: Phantom
The fire phases through me and I use this opportunity to create a shadow gauntlet in my hand. I throw a punch and it slightly effects Salamander.
Fana loses her balance and falls to the ground but something forces me to use a shadow tendril to grab her by the waist and set her down safely. I land on my feet and Fana looks at me in disbelief.
Blue: Are you okay?
Fana: Y-Yes, but why?
Blue: I......don't know. I didn't want to see you fall to the ground like that
Fana: [Blushes] O-Oh
Blue: It's up to you, do you want to continue or not?
Fana:........Yes, so die
Her mood switches from soft to one of pure rage as Salamander tries to bite me, I create a shadow Shield in my hand and block it before pushing it back and stabbing it with a spear.
Fana throws fire tornados at me that I jump back to avoid.
Yami: Hey kid! Stop flirting with the enemy!
Blue: What's flirting?
Yami: Oh right, forgot you don't know these things.
Rhya: Ehh? He doesn't? Wow he really is emotionless, want me to teach him above love?
Yami: You touch him and I will cut you
Rhya: And if I don't?
Yami: I'm still cutting you! I haven't forgotten about you stealing my moves!
Vetto: You won't have to worry much about it when you're dead!
The two continue to pressure Yami while I keep on the defensive against Fana, I also want to go after Licht since he has been weakened. Talking about Licht, I've been noticing how Licht feels.....familiar....as if I know him.
There was something about his face....his frame....it's all too familiar.
Fana: Don't look away when I kill you!
Fana commands Salamander to breathe fire in my direction I block it with a Shadow Shield and then roll to the side before dashing right at Fana. She tries to attack me again with more flames but I use Phantom again to phase through.
I create a shadow hammer and swing it at Fana and she couldn't react, she was sent in the air near Licht who wasn't happy about that.
Licht: FANA!
Asta: Alright Blue!
Gauche: Finally, I was getting bored of her flame attacks.
Licht: You will pay for that! Blue Light!
Licht creates a light whip and tries to whip with it but I clash with my own shadow whip, they entangle with each other and I was going to send a shadow spear in his face but Fana had recovered and send flames towards me.
I jump back and was ready to fight her again but then I look to the side and saw that Vetto had struck Yami into a rock. He wasn't hurt really and didn't seem bothered but that's the type of guy he is.
Then a spatial portal opens up behind us, I thought it was Valtos but he was just getting up. I look at the portal and saw Finral walk through and walking behind him were three captains.
Charlotte: Blue?
Blue: Captain Charlotte.....well done Finral
Finral: No problem Blue! Just leave it to your senior!
Blue:....I joined before you
Finral: O-Oh right
Nozel: Foreigner, what are you doing?
Yami: Yo, I'm just resting
Jack: That's disappointing Yami, do you want me to cut you up?
Yami: Oh shut it you bean pole
Vetto: More strong people?
Charlotte: Blue, let us take care of this
Blue: Fine.....
I was going to stand by Asta but Fana didn't want to stop fighting me, she wanted to really harm me but Nozel had created a mercury barrier.
Nozel: You're fighting me
The magic captains fight against the Third Eye, Asta was amazed by the fighting while Gauche wanted to leave but knew he couldn't.
Finral: Blue who are these four?
Blue: The three fighting are the third eye, that other guy is Licht and he is the leader.
Finral: What?!
Blue: And he said the three are stronger than him
Finral: WHAT?!
Blue: Calm down, you have to rely on the captains to win this
Finral: You know....I can believe you when you say that. Your voice helps with that
Blue: Do you or anyone else never stop mentioning how I sound?
Finral: W-Well you can't blame us, no one speaks or sounds like you. Will you ever explain why you never with no emotion?
Blue:........Who knows?
We continued to watch the captains fight until Yami decided to get up and fight Licht, I went to help him and so did Asta.
Asta: Captain Yami! Let us help!
Yami: Are you sure? You might just get in the way
Blue: I won't
Asta: I won't as well! I promise I'll help!
Yami: Alright cool, I've got a plan. Finral come over here
Finral: D-Do I have to? Can I not go home?
Yami: Do you want to die?
Finral: N-No!
Yami explains how we can get the jump on Licht, if we manage to do this then we can beat. After we all agreed, Yami goes to fight Licht for a few minutes, then Finral makes a portal for him and he appears above him with his katana ready and coated in his dark magic.
Licht: A good try Yami but this is where you die
Licht was ready to attack Yami with his Light Magic and the other Captains thought it was over for him. However I grab Asta around the waist with my shadows and got ready to throw him.
Blue: Are you ready?
Asta: Yes! Throw me!
I didn't reply and throw him at Licht who didn't know he was coming due to the non existent magic that resides in Asta.
Licht: W-What?! Where did he come from?!
Asta: Take this!
Asta strikes Licht with his anti magic sword which disrupts him and his attack, it also left him open for Yami to slam his sword onto Licht. He goes down but before he impacts the ground, Yami speaks to him.
Yami: Know this! I believe in my no-magic idiot and my shadow kid!
Licht: Wait what-?
Blue: Shadow Magic: Curse of Erebus
My right hand was pulled back and had been charging up, I thrust my hand forward and fire the purple blast wave at Licht
Licht had no wat to defend himself and so he was engulfed by my attack, he laid on the floor almost unconscious as the Third Eye were worried.
Fana: Licht!
Rhya: Ah damn
Vetto: You will pay for that!
But before even more Chaos can unfold, Licht got up and looked right at Asta in anger and disbelief.
Licht: That.....that isn't yours!
Asta: Ehh? What, my headband?
Blue: I think he means your swords and grimoire
Licht: That grimoire belongs to him! You're a thief! Give it back!
Yami: Kid do you even know him?
Asta: N-No! I've never seen him in my life!
Light's aura started to build up to a tremendous rate, it was glowing red and it alarmed the Third Eye. They quickly surround Licht and use some sort of ancient magic to bind his aura.
Rhya: Know this Magic Knights, this doesn't mean you win. We are just retreating for the sake of our leader!
And just like that they disappeared, he had a point but we will still take this as a victory.
Nozel: So that was the leader......
Blue: Yeah.......
Gauche: Blue take your damn mask
He throws me my mask and I catch it, I don't wear it straight away so I just hold onto it.
Charlotte: He was about to unleash something powerful and devastating against us, still that was impressive of you Blue. That attack of yours is a trump card for you right?
Velvet: Of course it was! I hand picked it for him with Lord Erebus's permission-!
Blue: No, it's just an addition to my arsenal, I still have two other spells that I haven't shown
Velvet: What?!
Charlotte: I see, do you plan on showing it in the later battles?
Blue: Maybe......why do you continue to talk to me?
Charlotte: Despite us being from other squads, we need to build a sort of friendship for the future. If you have time, come over to the Blue Rose's Base, the Midnight Sun is a formidable force that will threaten the Clover Kingdom.
Blue: You're right....but don't you hate men?
Charlotte: I-I do but you're an exception, you're only a boy and not like the other males. I can trust you
Blue:......What do you mean?
Charlotte: D-Don't worry about it
I blankly stare at her and I could see a sweat drop on the side of her face, there was also a red tint present on her face. I turn away and leave with everyone else, when we get outside, I put my mask back on and got ready to go back to the base.
Asta: Blue are you not going to stay for a bit?
Blue: No, why would I?
Asta: Well I'm sure the kids would want to thank you. Plus Marie knows who you are and I'm sure she would want to see you again.
Gauche: Hmph! It was just a one time thing!
Blue: Yes, Gauche is right. I just had to look after her and some of the other orphans because Sister Theresa asked me to
Finral: And you accepted?
Blue:......Yes
I walk off and then use my shadows to go back to the base, today was an eventful day.....
