Chapter 14
The dimensional cracks surged toward Genma with rumbling speed, quaking the battlefield. Genma with his limbs on the floor raised his head up.
"UH!" Genma murmured in fear.
"BOUNDLESS."
All of a sudden a wave of green force of friction crashed the dimensional cracks to the ground causing a bass boom. Dust escaped into the air and the floor got a nice irregular hole.
The dust storm made it uneasy to see. Alphonse, Genug and Shakou stood together as they closed their eyes when the dust hit.
They opened it, only to see Zenith standing, his back opposite to Genma who was now standing.
Zenith stood pocketed, his head down and eyes closed. Genma's face turned cold and serious. Zenith spoke, still in his cool pose.
The other rebels gathered.
"That was great, Genma. But now we've reached the part I was planning to happen. Listen… we will kill as many rebels as we can but those three have to go. Remember, have fun as you fight, cuz your life can end any second."
Zenith smiled, his teeth showcased. Genma thought.
"Zenith sensei is on a whole different level, he was able to stop that force with a smile, he's…"
Zenith is seen, majestic green aura worships him.
"Right, sensei."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's move…"
Alaska opened gloriously green.
Shakou opened his eyes wide and grined. He staggered back ready to embrace the attack. Genug took a step back. Alphonse still stood unmoved.
The two moved. Zenith blitzed Alphonse with green pneuma Boundless. It hit him and crashed him straight to the wall. He shot his hand with a dimensional crack.
Genug and Shakou separated. Genma exploded with a giant wave of lightning in hand against Genug who just turned to blink. Genug went flying.
Electricity forced blood to escape Genug. Genug summoned a large golem when he got up. The giant living boulder roared and short pneuma boulders as Genma hopped and dodged all.
Zenith pocketed and sidestepped calmly with giggles.
Let's have some fun. Let me go low mode, no power.
Zenith charged with a spinning kick. Alphonse absorbed it with his arm struggling to fully stop the kick, Zenith smiled wide and proud. Alphonse yielded and flew to the wall with insane impact.
BOOM!
Alphonse's head collided with the crying wall. The rubbles fell on him. The other rebels kept on charging at Zenith who kept showing off.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Yeah, come at me, let's have some fun.
A blade swung at him. He swerved below and ejected his elbow to him. The rebel spat his head forward. Zenith backfisted him away, the rebels' face closed forever.
Another rebel got up and shot glass spikes at him. Zenith dodged left and right then held the third glass spike despite the speed. Vapour escaped.
"Glass really? So weak."
Zenith's green pneuma erased it to dust.
"BOUNDLESS, SLICE"
Before the rebel could blink, a green frictional string cut his body half diagonally. His pneuma coating couldn't save him wholly. He fell down.
More rebels charged at him. A rebel fired red lasers at him. Zenith laughed and weaved left, right and ducked and closed the distance.
He's getting too close. The rebel thought.
The rebel gave up on his lasers and engaged, throwing an arc laser fist at Zenith who countered it.
Zenith caught his arm up and right jacket zip line. Goosebumps erupted quickly from the rebel as he gazed up to Zenith who smiled at him.
Shakou ran to Zenith raising his crimson blade about to rain slashes. But he felt a presence above him from behind.
Someone's behind me. He thought.
Genma appeared above Shakou from behind. BAAM! — Genma's electrical leg lashed Shakou's skull into another rebel.
Genug's golem lay in pieces of rubbles and Genug himself was left burnt to a crisp.
Zenith still held on and spoke.
"What's wrong, do you miss your mama now? Or did you forget you killed lots of innocents, you scumbag? Let me remind you then."
Zenith gave him a simple jab to his face. He staggered behind. Zenith raised his hand forward, a hexagonal orb of black and green pneuma pulsed above his palm.
Genma just blitzed four rebels to death, using a lightning screw to roast and cut through them. He looked at the glooming youjutsu Zenith was forming.
The hexagonal orb of Zenith's pneuma illuminated the whole underground.
"This is Hexagon, what will end you." Zenith smiled wide with all his teeth showing with pride.
"FIRE."
The orb launched at the laser rebel. He thought.
Maybe, soul intimidation can save me.
Genma watched with Gemini as the orb travelled. He looked at the rebel and saw it. Gemini's divine sight showed the imitated pneuma essence the rebel leaked.
Oh no, he's also using the false youjutsu, will the attack hit?
The orb blasted the rebel into the wall and cut his body apart as the orb was still in progress dismantling the wall, still hitting and cutting, blasting the nearby rebels away, the impact caused some of them to lose their limbs and sight.
Green light was illuminated gloriously and the wind from the impact hurled many away, but Genma stood still in cold surprise and Zenith just kept on giving his proud smile, his teeth still dormant.
That one youjutsu ended the fight after hitting only one of the many rebels, the others who survived looked at Zenith on the floor.
The mohawk rebel on the floor with one eye injured looked at Zenith with awe.
What were we thinking, how could we possibly think of killing, no, facing the King of Youjutsu, he's… magnificent."
Genma thought as he looked amazed at his sensei .
"So this is the King of Youjutsu…only one attack, and many have fallen, and… the attack is still ongoing but the victim is already gone."
The light faded away when the youjutsu ended. All of a sudden, Genma ejected into the rocky roof, his face and body suffering as the pressure the force gave him was intense.
It was Alphonse, bloodied but still standing. Genma was left hopeless until he wasn't. Alphonse gazed at Gemini.
Meanwhile, Masami in her sorcery outfit walked upstairs to Selene's office. Masami met Selene and greeted with a bow.
"Good day Selene sensei."
Selene was actually looking through the window and turned toward the greetings.
" Uh… Oh good day to you too Masami, you are quite early."
"Well um I decided to come early so that I wouldn't miss class."
"Oh ok then let's move to my class."
"Yes sensei."
Selene walked out with her usual calm and happy demeanor. As they walked to the class, Selene asked.
"How is Genma."
"Eeerm this morning he was well until he went training with Zenith. I don't actually know if he's fine. But I believe he will be alright "
Selene gave off a small mocking laugh as they walked.
"Yeah it's cute of you to believe your brother is alive. But I also believe he is doing fine because he has potential and Zenith is there with him."
Masami smiled.
"Right!"
They reached the entrance of the class, written on top of it, Class SS.
Back to the scattered underground, Genma fell down. Alphonse fell victim to Gemini's soul cage. He snapped out of it when the glance ceased, he wobbled his head and stopped.
Alphonse raised both hands forward at Genma.
"PARALYSIS CRUSH!"
Waves of violent dimensional cracks roared and broke the battlefield. As they surged at Genma, he ran past the right of the attack.
Alphonse kept on using "paralysis crush" youjutsu. Genma would swerve and jump off to the other ground. He tried to close the distance.
Genma hurled his blue to orange flames in his hands and ignited a huge flaming tornado at Alphonse.
Oh oh, my pneuma is draining,if I keep on I will die or get worn out. Alphonse thought.
He launched his hands forward, gravity collided with the flames and raised it upward to the air, creating a barrier of flames between Genma and Alphonse.
Alphonse spoke.
"Good, now I can refill until the flames die."
Out of the blue, lightning flashed right behind his cheeks and scattered the wall into rubbles.
Alphonse panicked. Cold sweat drenched his hoodie.
Zenith thought.
"You can do this, fight the soul intimidation."
Genma passed through the flames charging at Alphonse.
Alphonse staggered behind and raised his hands at Genma who closed the distance.
Alphonse screamed at him.
"YOU FOOOL, DIEEE!"
Gemini locked into Alphonse's eyes. Alphonse froze, lost in a dimension of mirrors reflecting himself in a pocket divine green white dimension his conscience was lost in.
Lightning sang and rattled louder in Genma's hands. As Genma raced on to Alphonse's frozen body he fired his arm of lightning at him.
"ELEMENTAL ART, LIGHTNING HAZE."
A large spike of lightning roared.
