Capítulo 16: Battle (3)
The battle continued even after Michael fell, even thought Aria is sad she kept fighting Thompson with her mental power even thought she knew she will lose at least she will lose after she try with all her might, even if she want to escape it was impossible because she knew who the younger man is, the younger brother of Thompson Sinbu, Marcel Sinbu the one with eagle transformation power and the one who cultivated Nine Holes Method at least according to Michael, at the thought of this name Aria glanced at the 'corpse' of Michael that have fallen behind her.
"am I that weak or what Aria, for you to even ignore me in our battle to just see that weak man" Thompson raged.
Of course looking it from far aside from the wind surrounding them there is no trace of their 'battle' but if there were anyone normal or low in mental power they would fell dizzy, faint, or even 'die' like Michael.
At the side Marcel just stood there looking at the unseen battle because Aria is just using pure mental power instead her power and it's the same for Thompson but even if he used his power the result probably remained the same because his power 'Spiritual Tentacle' can only inflict mental damage, perhaps if he can reach the Solid stage it will become a real Tentacle that can inflict Physical damage after all it is proven by an expert at Solid stage who create a technique by imitating Thompson power manage to turn it into physical state even thought it only could be used for 'special purpose' because the technique imitated from the power will certainly be weaker than the power itself.
Marcel had two reason as for why he didn't help his brother. First, he was actually reluctant to do this and second, he was unable to as someone whose power is physical related his mental power is average for his power level, a third realm Gas stage it is.
Unnoticed by everyone present there, after minutes come by and when Aria's Spiritual power about to depleted and when Thompson felt a little tired, the 'corpse' of Michael already recovered to his normal state and is twitching, even Marcel didn't notice as he focused all his attention on his brother's battle because his power is reminding him that danger is still present so he focused just in case something gone wrong and he will escape with his brother.
..................…
Then Michael opened his eyes with a fright and the first thing he noticed is that the number '770' is decreasing by itself to '769' even though he didn't switch state.
Michael stood up and he witnessed the sight in front of him, a wind swirling around a beautiful pale woman that he known, Aria and the enemy that 'killed' him, "hmm… maybe that is the reason the number decreased because I really 'died' this time" Michael thought.
Michael looked at Aria who is pale and sweating like crazy and Thompson who closed his eyes with a smile but still sweating face, he determined the situation is dangerous for both of them so Michael took out the military knife that he once bought in hope acting as hero rescuing damsel with Jessica as the damsel but right now it seem the damsel is a quiet powerful one.
Michael determined himself once again by saying this is life or death but if possible he didn't want to kill, so Michael sneakily walked into the younger man and he immediately slashed at behind the knee of Marcel's right leg, of course Marcel also looked agitated before he got slashed because his power is sending an instinct that remind him the danger is becoming stronger and he only thought Aria probably will reveal her trump card.
Not to say Marcel is surprised by the slashed that manage to incapacitate one of his legs because of the surprise he didn't catch the fact he was attacked and as result Michael stabbed the knife on Marcel's other leg.
Immediately Michael retreated and he began to breathe heavily, it's true that he have the resolve to kill people, he thought it will be easy but when he slashed his knife it became apparent that it's not as easy as it look or said.
Hearing the cry full of pain from his brother Thompson became distracted and he looked at his brother who knelled on the ground bleeding from his legs he truly averted his attention to his brother as if there is no enemy that he have to face.
Seeing that Thompson is distracted Aria immediately created an illusion of a giant snake that launched itself from her to the distracted Thompson, when the high speed illusion collided with the chest of Thompson, his chest sunk and he vomited a mouthful of blood , when the snake coiled around him a trail of blood continuously flowed down his lips and whenever he wanted to free himself since the snake itself is a spiritual construct but it tighten every time he showed a sign of resisting.
Aria exhausted still she walked slowly at Michael who focused too much on Marcel who is bleeding, she hugged him and it shocked Michael but he hugged Aria back and Aria collapsed into his embrace, of course she is still conscious, if she was unconscious the snake would disappear too but she is just too tired to stand up even thought she didn't do anything physically tiring.
The snake slowly dragged Thompson toward us just when Aria about to finish them off, Michael asked Aria to stop not because he is so merciful like the main character in some light hearthed novel, he stopped Aria because he wanted to experimented about his power but of course he won't be torturing them.
Aria agreed to it and she created the second snake with what mental power she recovered then she used the spell to make people avoid the area around the user, since the spell is using the qi inside her heart Aria still could maintain it.
On the garden of one of the empty house, I found some ropes and then we go together to the training building that Aria bought off cheaply or so she said so.
