Ken’s POV (12 yrs. and 8 months old)
What are these twisted humanoid creatures, monsters, doing. Who am I kidding, will my question be answered if I stay here? Then again if I engage now, wouldn’t that just alert them of my presence.
Maybe I should have taken some information from the previous one, but that would be unlikely, I’ll get wounded if we had delayed its death, hmmm… Meh, guess I’ll just have to wait.
I wonder if the others studied the corpse earlier, I’ll try contacting them. ‘Arcane Magic: Telekinesis, Telepathic Connection.’
Hmmm, it’s taking a long time to connect, well the distance is pretty far out so, it would likely be this way.
This is a spell that I have already applied, it’s like a system that connects all eleven of us telepathically, allowing each one of us to send messages through the connection. Should I add the concept of translucent connection?
‘You’re putting more monitoring spell or skill on them? Can you at least give them some privacy?’ -White-
‘Oh, is this inappropriate? It is, isn’t it?’
‘Of course, if only those kids know about this, I’m sure they’d react in so many ways than one.’ -White-
‘Ah, hehe, you’re- (!).’
‘Ken?’ The connection’s online, and it’s Allen who responded.
‘Allen, has anyone of you tried to check on the corpse of that humanoid creature?’
‘Yeah, Icarus checked on it.’ He replied. Communicating through our head, just staying still, concentrating, okay that’s just nonsense, anyway.
‘Did he gain any intel?’
‘I think he did, connect with him.’ He said.
‘Okay-‘ UGH!!! What was that?! Damn! It severed my connection with Allen, ‘huh?’ I look up at the sky, and it’s now the color again of dark and red, but this time, bloody red, the features looks to be clearer, I think this is a barrier.
Wait gotta figure out if they noticed me, I looked at the nine, ugh, they’re channeling a spell, except for one, it’s just standing there, looking at the rest. Phew, good thing none of them noticed me, my flight spell is still active though.
How is that possible when my communication spell got dispelled and not my flight spell? Strange, let me try any transmuting spell. ‘Wind Magic: Surveillance Sweep.’ Something’s wrong.
UGH! Red lightning electrocuted me, *GASP* Blasted, that surprised me! Luckily it didn’t really damage me much, now to- KYA! A dark blast passed me by.

“MUST YOU BLAST SO MANY DARK ENERGIES!!!” I shout at the one who was just observing his comrades chanting.
“Who are you?” It talks?! ‘Illusion Magic: Invisibility’ How did it know that I’m here, isn’t my concept applicable to those that I focus on?
“Come out and fight, or are you a coward.” Oh yeah, and then get myself killed? No thank you.
‘Fire Magic: Fire Blast.’ I chanted exploding the area around him, I flew up to give myself some distance. What?! He didn’t get hurt? Wait, is this a he or a she? Anyway, it’s staring at me, What?! Are you kidding me? This one still sees me?
“You’re tricks won’t work on me, so give up, it’s pointless to fight.” it said. But I’m invisible, how, okay never mind, I don’t need to wonder about this anymore, I just need to fight this creature and be done with it, but I’m not gonna dispel concept or illusion.
Third Person’s POV
“Oh, I’ll still fight you, Water Magic: Tidal Surge!” a magic circle appeared behind Ken and summoned water that passed below him towards the unknown entity, water blades formed inside rushing together with the water, some water blades flying out of the water and soared the sky.
There were dozens of water blades surging and flying, the wave hit the creature smack down along with the blades.
The water dispersed, but the creature was still unscathed, ‘Awwwwwwww, no fair.’ Ken flew to the right to avoid any assault, and sure enough, a dark explosion occurred seconds where he was.
“You’re efforts are futile, surrender.” it said, a surge of darkness energy blasted from him everywhere ‘I’m just gonna refer to this guy as a him’ and hit Ken, pushing him back a little, bracing himself from the impact.
“There you are.”
‘Shoot my cloaking spell is gone’
‘Momentum Magic: Flight!’ Ken pushed himself back in the air and floated above ground.
“Don’t care!” he said childishly. “Earth Magic: Earth Spikes!” spikes protruded on the creature’s location. Ken flew to the left, but eyes opened wide as the creature seemed to know how to fly as well.
“Like I said, it’s futile.” He said.
“Yeah, yeah, still I’m not gonna let you destroy this forest. Wind Magic: Scythe Cut!” a crescent shaped wind blade flew towards the guy.
(Blink)
‘Huh? Where’d he-‘
“AUGH!!!” the creature struck him from behind with… fists or magic? Gotta make some distance. ‘Arcane Magic: Blink Zone’ (Blinks) Huh? Why is the distance small?
‘Gotta Fly!’
“You can still move? Interesting.” He said, clenching his fist, dashed towards Ken suddenly, catching the boy off guard and punched his stomach.
“PWUA!” Ken vomited blood. Expression almost breaking into anger.
Ken blinked at the guy’s back and ‘Fire Magic: Explosion!’ struck with both scythe and magic, sending both on the opposite direction.
“A foolish move, have you not learned from your lesson already that I don’t get hurt from measly spells.” He said.
“Figured as much, but I’m gonna do it anyway, Ice Magic: Broken Frost!” a sky blue magic circle appeared below the entity and encased him in ice, making him fall to the ground,
Even though this spell was supposed to be for incapacitated opponents or inanimate objects for that.
‘I need to figure out how to breach his defenses, until then, I’ll have to bombard him with dozens of spells.’
‘Wouldn’t you run out of mana if that’s the case?’ -White-
‘Not to worry, while you were away on scouting missions, I had experimented on my mana capacity, and it turns out, I don’t run out of mana if I use elemental spells if I have my scythe.’
‘Then what about other categories of spells.’ -White-
‘Everything but my moon magic are unable to deplete my mana.’ said Ken, issuing another distance away from the monster. ‘And another thing, my mana gets depleted if I use an average of over twenty moon spells.’
‘Mm, I understand.’ -White-
The conversation happened within nanoseconds, adding more distance as to not stand within range of any of his opponent’s abilities. He nears the edge of the barrier and touch it with his hands. Retracting immediately as he felt its energies trying to harm him.
*BAM!*
The ice got broken,
Ken turned around and held out his left hand “Fire Magic: Stardust Blaze!” ‘Arcane Magic: Manual Input.’ a small ball of fire flew towards the creature just as he flew up in the air making him stop in his tracks, looking confused at the small thing.
‘Detonate.’ The ball of fire exploded in a cone shape towards him, sending him flying to the other end of the barrier, and collided with it.
“Entertain me more!” he shouted, and dashed again towards Ken. Not this time. ‘Hmmm, I should turn ‘Manual Input’ into a passive skill, so that I don’t need to chant it out to take effect.’
“Water Magic: Bouncing Bubbles!” twenty blue magic circles appeared surrounding Ken and conjured two meter radius bubbles, making all incoming physical object to bounce back twice the force, can be attacked thrice in a row before popping. ‘I wonder how he’ll fare with this.’
“YAH!” he punched the bubble in front of him making it pop with a loud sound propelling him backwards twice the speed he dashed forward, the shockwave also nudged Ken backwards, but… ‘damn, my bubbles got popped in one punch by this guy?’
Just what kind of power does he possess? The creature kept on repeating the process of dashing towards Ken attempting to hit him, but still gets bounced back, making him plunge to the earth creating cracks, or colliding with the barrier.
‘*chuckle* this is almost looking to be fun. Almost.’
With every other angle the creature tried to punch, bubbles would move in its place, *POP* *POP* *POP* *POP* ‘Huh? Four of my bubbles popped simultaneously?!’ Leaving only one bubble.
“You’re spells were actually easy to evade.” He said, is that a mocking tone Ken hears?
“You only figured that out now? Aw, cute.” The black guy’s energies surged menacingly. Ken quirking a brow.
“Doesn’t matter, you’re defenseless now.” He said.
‘uhh, how is that even… Ugh, what’s the word? Okay, nevermind, I forgot.’
“Really now? Then why are you not attacking?” Ken said mockingly. ‘HAHA! Have a taste of my sassiness.’ meanwhile wondering whether sass can be considered as a flavor.
“You’re attitude is very disrespectful, no matter, it will be your end today.” The creature said and dashed towards Ken again, he positioned the bubble in front to defend against the attack, but on the last second the black entity moved out of the way to… Ahh, behind.
A smirk graced Ken’s mouth.
‘Think you could blind sidedly beat me honey? Well you’re wrong.’ in a split second Ken switched himself with the bubble using blink zone, making him collide with the bubble, this time the bubble was in close proximity of his body because he’d pushed the bubble a little bit just as the black guy was about to punch.
Ken made a wink and a blow kiss almost visibly making the other’s features twist in anger as he collided with the bubble sending him flying backwards and colliding with the barrier.
Making him bounce back towards Ken’s direction, he simply blink on his back to avoid collision.
*BANG*
‘Oooh, that must have hurt colliding with the barrier for the second time. Lovely, the interaction happened within seconds and I’m scot free.’ Ken turns around and as expected the black guy’s rushing towards him again in anger, and increased speed. Ken flew upwards to escape.
“Enchant Magic: SPEED AND STRENGTH!!!” he shouted at the top of his lungs, joyous at the stupid interaction with that twisted creature, He zooms around the barrier with the creature hot on his tail.
“Lightning Magic: Lightning Bolt!” he casted without looking back to zone out his pursuer, the creature to the side as he flung spell after spell of ‘lightning bolts’ making dozens of burnt ground.
Ken flew towards the cover of the trees. Ken smirked mischievously at his tail and showed the guy a smile, effectively weirding and further angering him out.
“Earth Magic: Earth Pillars.” earth pillars burst forth from the ground obstructing his path, sidestepping to avoid the assault, Ken made another pop up just as the other flew to the side to pursue him, and then another and another.
Ken kept laughing as the many other times the other went on and collided with some of the pillars.
*BANG!!!*
‘Oh, he broke the pillar I conjured.’
(BLINK)
‘Huh? Where’d he-‘
“This is your end!!!”
