Chapter 51: (Labyrinth Incident Arc) Chapter 50 - Round Two
Shannon Petrini Point Of View
"Mukhang may kinalaban kang mutant animal na malakas...I hope that you won't make that as an excuse of exhausting yourself before facing me..." Pangaasar ko sa Don na ito na nakakairita na makita ang pagmumukha.
He have white wavy hair. Hooded white eyes. White eyelashes. White thick high arch eyebrows. Turn-up nose. Red full lips. Van Dyke facial hair. Diamond-shaped head. Warm honey skin tone. His height is 7'4 feet.
"I didn't even get pumped up beating the shit out of that mutant animal." Mayabang na sabi naman nito.
"Haha...it doesn't matter to me anyway if you got exhausted or not. It's not my problem as long as I can kill you here." With my sword already drawn from its scabbard already I said.
"A damn loser like you really have the guts to say to me that you'll kill me? Fine. I'll play along with you...since I'm already pissed enough because of this fucking labyrinth." Kampante na sabi niya.
"I just didn't got the chance to go all out earlier that's why I easily lost you idiot, you'll see in this round two what I can do!!" Bwelta ko naman sa kaniya. I channeled my magic and mana flowed to my sword. I coated my sword with Inflicter Magic.
"That transparent energy, that's not your Fire Magic you used earlier." Pag-obserba naman niya sa ginawa ko.
"Ano ngayon?" Sabi ko naman saka ako sumugod.
Winasiwas ko ito at kumawala ang Inflicter Slash pasugod sa kaniyang kinaroroonan. He used the same technique of creating a mirror that reflects my Inflicter Slash back to me.
Kaagad naman akong gumamit ng Dimensional Slash Magic at hiniwa ang Inflicter Slash ko na naglaho.
Tumakbo ako palapit sa salamin na aking sinuntok ng malakas at nabasag. Agad na dumistansya sa akin ang Don na ito mula sa akin at itinutok ang kaniyang mga dalire sa kanang kamay nito na naging mga robotic tubes at nagpakawala ang mga ito ng mga laser beam na sumugod sa akin. Hindi lang siya isang beses nagpakawala ng mga laser beam kundi maraming beses.
Aktibo pa ang Dimensional Slash Magic ko pero hindi ko mahihiwa nang sabay-sabay ang maraming mga laser beams na sumugod sa akin. Inilagan ko ang mga laser beam at nagtago sa mga tipak ng bato na nasa section na ito ng labyrinth.
Nagkaroon ng maraming pagsabog sa lugar dahil sa mga laser beam.
"Gravity Magic, Self Alteration." Minanipula ko ang gravity sa aking sarile upang makakilos ako ng mas mabilis.
Habang umiilag sa mga laser beam ay sumugod ako sa kaniya.
"Take this! Supreme Slash!!" Binalutan ko ng malakas na enerhiya ang aking espada at iwinasiwas ito sa kaniyang direksyon nang ilang metro na lamang ang layo ko sa kaniya.
Direkta siya na tinamaan ng malakas na ray ng enerhiya na sumabog. Nagdulot pa ito ng malawak at mahaba na humakay na mayroong lalim na 2 feet na linya sa sahig. Umabot ito hanggang sa pader ng kwarto, kung saan bumangga ang Don na kalaban ko roon.
So much debris...
"You're not dead with that attack right? You shitty Don!!" Sigaw ko sa Don na bumaon sa pader ang katawan.
Lumipas lang ang ilang sandali ay lumabas siya sa pader at lumipad ito palapit. Naging seryoso ang mukha nito na humarap sa akin.
"I'm quite puzzled... you're using many Magic Abilities. Only those who drink monster blood can have two Magic Abilities. Three from us Dons are like that. And one of us, the only Female Don have 5 Magic Abilities but 4 of those are genetically modified. She's a laboratory experiment lead by my former boss, the boss of World Conquerors Familia...who the hell are you?"
"World Conquerors Familia..." Sabi ko sa hangin. "The organization that destroyed my life." I seriously said.
"Mary Mchavoc was rumored to have more than one Magic Ability. It was true that she was able to find Giftia mysteriously without the use of the compass piece, and only her was able to do such thing. The Guild hide that fact to the public. That will punish any Adventurer who speaks about it will be executed. And thus, we from World Conquerors Familia called her Gifted for finding the Giftia. Are you also a Gifted? But that's impossible, because we investigated the Giftia information and was verified that Mary Mchavoc was one of the only two people who actually found Giftia. Huwag mong sabihin na ikaw ay si---" He explain. Before he completely finish his claim that I was Mary Mchavoc, I cut him off.
"Unfortunately, the Guild was deceive...I was with Mary Mchavoc when we found out about Giftia...it happen in a flash. A sudden strange light struck the two of us while we're in the middle of confrontation. That was the time when we suddenly got into where the Giftia's location is. Not only I got 9 Magic Abilities, I also got myself to stuck being young teenager girl." I lied to him to brushed away his suspicion of my Identity. I did this because of the high possiblity that I will not going to be able to kill him.
He suddenly laugh evilly.
"I see...if you also found out about Giftia, then you're worth the waste of my time. I'll kill you and bring you back to my headquarters. You see, I have a pretty convenient Magic. I'll track your memories so that I can see the Giftia and it's location!! You will be the bridge for my success, for the fulfilment of my ultimate goal!" He proudly announced.
"Scumbag." Galit kong sabi. "You won't easily get what you want."
His strange aura became more intense. Suddenly the air was filled with intense heat. "Drought!!" Bigkas niya, mukhang nag-activate siya ng isang malakas na spell.
Putangina na Magic mayroon siya, sobrang lakas.
Nakaramdam ako ng matinding pagkauhaw at parang ang likido sa katawan ko ay natutuyo.
"Will it even dry out my blood?" Tanong ko bago mapaluhod sa sahig at napahawak sa aking dibdib. Nabitawan ko ang aking espada.
I am slowly but surely running out of breath.
"Drought is an spell than can create a strong heat wave, or heatwave. I created a period of excessively hot weather in this place. Of course it is accompanied by high humidity especially this place is weird enough to have an oceanic climate even though it is a sealed room and no water nor plants and trees to be found. It will dry every bits of liquid you have in your body. My palms becomes the machine to produce such thing. Even if you have many Magic Abilities, mine was already in it's Full Magic Potency. While you are just some idiot fodder who march to me to have her death." He explained.
Ang yabang. Feeling matalino. Damn it. I'm almost at my limit. He's stronger than that Don Celestial Mañokaw...
I struggled to grip my sword once again. (Makisama ka, Sacred Treasure...) Pagkausap ko rito gamit ang aking isipan.
Hindi naman ako nito binigo. Nagbago ang kulay ng talim ng espada ko. Naging isa itong kulay dark-green na talim. Blade Of Despair was activated. Binibigyan ako nito ng kakayahan na tiisin ang anumang sakit na aking tatanggapin sa loob ng ilang minuto.
I slowly got up straight again. Even though I got up and might be able to move for few minutes, I don't think that's plenty enough to fight the bastard and severly wound him considering the condition of the place he created.
Nakita kong mayroong barrier na nakapalibot sa Don na mukhang prino-protektahan siya nito sa 'Drought Spell' na kaniyang Inactivate.
Dahil dito sumugod ako sa kaniya. He retaliated to my action. Ang ilang hibla ng buhok niya ay lumabas sa barrier at sumugod sa akin na parang mga bala ng baril. Of course those are not going to be normal bullets.
"You bastard!" Pinaghihiwa ko ang ilang mga bala habang ang ilan ay tumama sa katawan ko. Sa oras na tumama ang mga ito ay naglahong parang bula. Hindi ko ininda ang sakit, nagpatuloy lang ako sa pag-salakay.
Nang nakalapit ako ay nagactivate ako ng Flame Magic at binalutan ng malakas na apoy ang aking espada na aking hinampas sa barrier na madali kong nasira.
Sa malakas na paglagablab ng apoy ay tumilapon ang Don at nakita ko kung paano siya nahirapan dahil sa mismong spell na inactivate niya.
I knew it. He will also be affected by his spell that's why he have that barrier.
Pinawalang bisa niya ang spell niya sa buong lugar. Dahil dito, nawala ang paghihirap niya. Muli akong sumugod sa kaniya.
Akmang hihiwain ko ang ulo niya nang bigla siyang magpakawala ng malakas na shockwave sa kaniyang mga kamay na direktang tumama sa akin. Kahit aktibo ang Blade Of Despair ay nasaktan ako at napa-distansya.
Tuluyan naman siyang nakatayo.
"What a persistent bitch you are!!"
"Buysit! Fucking cheat Magic!!" Asar na sabi ko naman.
"Malakas ka...probably the only person except from the other Dons who withstand my Drought Spell. The truth is, that spell will only last for 1 hour...siguro hindi na kataka-taka ang ginawa mo dahil gaya ng sabi mo, pareho niyong nahanap ni Mary Mchavoc ang Giftia. Give me your name..." He said to me. Bragging his spell.
"I'm Shannon Petrini."
"Petrini? You belong to one of The 9 Great Clans like Mary Mchavoc and that of course, bastard Xebec Petrini. You also have a silver white hair, you might also be a 'Enigmatic Tribe Member'." He reacted to what I have said.
"Masyado kang maraming alam." Sabi ko naman. Huminga ako ng malalim.
"I'm Don Nervoz Winter, if not the second, I'm the strongest among the 5 Dons!! Feel honored, you will die battling me!!"
"You have no right to talk about honor." Muli akong sumugod sa kaniya.
Itutuloy.
