Ch 38 – The Third Eye
Alex smiled at his words, finding it funny since the guy was still alive and kicking.
Opening his grimoire, Yami opened a page. "Okay then let's see... Dark Binding Magic..."
But he wasn't able to finish his sentence since something caught him by surprise.
Alex was already staring a little ahead to the left where a spatial portal had opened up and three figures had dropped out from it.
"The Spatial Magic..." Gauche narrowed his eyes and stared ahead.
"Who are they?" Finral asked, staring at the three figures.
A young man among the newcomers yawned. "Wow, things get quite serious here. I think it's too much of a drag but even I... have to save my friends!"
He flashed in front of Yami who was ready to strike with his hand on his katana's hilt. And even Yami was left flabbergasted as he touched his grimoire.
"What a weird pattern! Well... it doesn't matter."
"Tch." Yami clicked his tongue in annoyance as he got careless which caught him by surprise by the guy using the light speed.
'Dark Magic: Dark Coated Lightless Slash!'
But the young man was slightly faster as he jumped backward, putting some distance between them.
The dark slash grazed his shoulder, giving a small wound.
"Oow! pain, pain..." He raised his hand and cast a healing spell over his wounded shoulder.
The three figures instantly surrounded Patolli with one of them covering his entire body in flames which seemed to be healing him.
He smiled gently as he gazed at them.
"You came... I'm sorry... My power alone wasn't enough. They are stronger than I presume. But if you're here then I don't have to worry."
The young man raised his hand as he lazily stared at Yami and others. "Oye, Licht... don't try to shoulder everything yourself."
He had a red tattoo on his left cheek and patches of white hair in his messy black hair
Another one was a very tall and muscular man with long blond hair and a blond beard with sharp teeth. A red tattoo crossed horizontally under his eyes and over the bridge of his nose. He had a rather beast-like appearance. He was wearing a short-sleeved vest, light-colored pants, and a pair of sandals.
"How do you do that to my friend? I'll shred you to pieces!"
"Licht... Are you hurt?! I hate... everyone who hurt you!"
The last but not least was a slim young woman with with a serious expression. She had thick, wavy, pink hair that fell just below her shoulders and large sea-green eyes. In the center of her forehead was a purple, multi-faceted mage stone that was framed by a red tattoo. She was wearing a high-collared, furry maroon dress beneath the standard light hooded robe of her group, with open-toed, knee-high boots. She was also carrying a pouch with her that was strapped around her shoulder.
"Huh? Who are they? Reinforcements?!" Gauche asked, feeling a tremendous amount of mana from them.
Patolli smiled as he said. "Let me introduce you. These three are the strongest of the Eye of the Midnight Sun. In combat they surpass me... The Third Eye!"
"They surpass you? It must be a bluff!" Finral laminated while still scared of them. He knew he was not a match for any of them.
Yami took a puff of his cigarette and released a cloud of smoke.
"Bluff? It's a pain in the ass!"
Rhya on the other hand turned serious as he created a blade made out of Dark Magic.
"So I guess I'll prove it. Even if it's a pain..."
Finral and Gauche were taken aback, watching him using the same magic as their captain since it was very unique.
Nobody except Yami had possessed it since the establishment of the kingdom.
"Your kingdom takes the clover as its symbol. The clover's leaves hold pleasant words that don't suit you. I've given them names that counter those words..."
Glancing at Rhya, he said. "Rhya, the Disloyal!"
Rhya launched a dark-coated slash at Yami which Yami countered with his own.
"Hey! Don't go ripping people's magic! I'll sue you for copyright infringement!" Yami blurted out.
"Mister Yami!" Finral called out quickly.
Yami turned his hand and saw the huge guy covered in a red glow charging at him with his eyes resembling a beast.
'Beast Magic: Bear Claw!'
He cut Yami's katana in two with a swing of his hand.
"Vetto, the Despair!" At this moment, Patolli's voice landed in everyone's ears.
Yami was a little surprised as the Vetto guy was able to read his qi.
Vetto stared at Yami with a mad expression, grinning. "Go on... Show me despair. It will make you taste better!"
Yami being Yami pointed at his broke katana, berating.
"Why you...! This is a custom-made katana and it takes me a fortune. You better pay me back, you loser!"
"Mister Yami!" Finral shouted again.
But this time, a shadow flashed in front of Yami and swung down his sword horizontally, cutting the incoming fire into two parts, which scorched the ground, showcasing how dangerous it would be to take it head-on.
"Fana, the Hateful!" Despite the attack being blocked, Patolli continued the introduction.
Fana glared at Yami and others in hatred, looking extremely ruthless as she muttered. "I hate you... I'll never forgive you... I'll kill you!..."
A small lizard-like creature was standing on her shoulder who had spitted the flames out of its mouth.
Just like Slyph of the Wind, it was one of the four legendary spirits, the Salamander of the Fire!
Alex put the sword over his shoulder and grinned at her. "Sorry, but you can't. I'm already dead, my dear~"
Staring at Patolli who was getting healed, he clapped for him.
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
"Not bad, not bad at all! Then I should also introduce myself properly or it will be rude." Alex's eyes sparkled with a pitch-black eerie darkness with his body excusing a malevolent aura.
The atmosphere itself was trembling. Mana, the magical energy densely packed in the air, was resonating with the awakening of an otherworldly being.
Patolli and the three elves shuddered just at the mere presence as their senses were much more greater than the norm and they could feel the bottomless power, pressing down on them.
Patolli even forgot to take a breath as he stared at Alex's eyes in horror. The phoenix robe that was healing him vanished as Fana and others lost control of their magic, shivering under Alex's gaze.
Yami, Finral, and Gauche were still better than the elves since they were not the target of that pressure and were staring at Alex's back, not directly into his eyes which were brimming with the power of death but they were still shell-shocked nonetheless, feeling such an aura from their friend.
Alex's facial lip twitched upward into a cruel smile as he grinned devilishly.
"You talk about the three leaves of the Clover. But I'm the fifth leaf. I'm The Devil!!"
