Chapter 12: Aftermath

The air around the greatsword stirred, drawn toward it in an unseen current. Reika, unsure of what was happening, activated her ability to see into the metaphysical realm.

Her purple eyes glowed as she peered beyond the ordinary, revealing the familiar gray fog from before, now flowing toward the greatsword.

The fog condensed, drawn into the blade. Within seconds, a deep red glow engulfed it—a manifestation of aura. The sword pulsed with raw energy, completely assimilating the crimson substance.

Alguis stiffened, his eyes widening at the overwhelming surge of power.

"That heavy aura of his... such pressure!"

Agnar gripped the greatsword tightly with both hands. Steadying his stance, he adjusted his balance, preparing to unleash a devastating strike.

"Fourth Style: Mountain’s Descent!!"

With a single, powerful cleave, a surge of raw energy hurtled toward Alguis. Without hesitation, Alguis swung his hammeraxe through the air.

He brought the weapon down with all his strength, slamming it into the ground. The earth buckled, sending waves of soil crashing forward to meet Agnar’s attack.

"YOUR RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, ALGUIS!!"

The two forces collided in an earth-shaking impact, a deafening boom tearing through the battlefield. Though Alguis had managed to counter the strike, the resulting tremors rippled outward, reaching the nearby village. Houses crumbled under the force, reduced to rubble. His defense wasn’t strong enough to fully absorb the impact, but it was enough to keep himself and those around him from being caught in the destruction.

"Huff... Huff..." Alguis panted, gripping his hammeraxe tightly.

"Is that all you've got, Alguis!?"

Agnar lifted his greatsword once more, its blade gleaming with raw power.

"Let's see if you can block it again!"

Alguis, exhausted, watched as Agnar began charging his weapon. His eyes darted to the unconscious forms of Völun and Aeden lying in the distance.

Damn it! If he unleashes that attack again, the village will be completely wiped out!

As Agnar waited for the sword to condense the fog into aura once more, something flickered in his peripheral vision.

"Wha—"

Reacting instinctively, he halted the charging process and raised his sword to intercept the incoming attack. His technique was canceled as the projectile struck the blade, detonating on impact in a burst of fire and force.

As the flames died down, Agnar looked around,

"Good. Since you’re both ready, I need your help with something. Follow me."

Without hesitation, Aeden and Völun fell in step behind Alguis. As they walked, he explained his plan. Their path led them toward the forest, and soon, the three disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
