Chapter 21 - Diamond Mages (2/2)
---
”Ahahahaha, I'm gonna win!” Luck's voice echoed throughout the vast ruin as he kept increasing the distance between him and Grim.
Gritting his teeth, Grim did his best to push himself in order to keep up with Luck's insane speed. But while he may have adapted to Luck's speed during combat, it was too far fetched to say that he could keep up with him in terms of pure speed.
”Woah! There's loads of guys here.” Luck's voice reverberated through the hall and into Grim's ear.
'Damn it!'
Following the trail Luck had left behind, Grim eventually took a sharp left and came into a large area surrounded by ankle high water and 4 different mages dressed in weird clothes and sporting the Diamond kingdom insignia.
”DIBS!!” Luck's voice rang out from above as he dropped down from the sky.
”Eh?! Clover kingdom mages.” Surprised by the sudden appearance of the two boys, the diamond mages nodded at each other before getting into a battle formation.
”Ants...” From the amount of mana that he could sense from them, Grim determined that these guys posed no significant threat to either him or Luck. But since he was slightly pissed over reaching this place behind Luck, he couldn't help the creepy smile that was slowly etching its way onto his face as he found something to take his frustrations out on.
*BOOM!!*
Releasing an absurb surge of magic power that caused the ankle high water to go into disaray, the two beast swords materialized in his hands radiating soft gray light.
Being slightly pushed back by the sudden magic release, the mages of the diamond kingdom felt their bodies tense up as a primial sense of danger seemed to be emitting from the black haired boy's figure.
”Going all out from the start huh? Bet I can take out more of them than you can.” Luck's cheery voice sounded out.
Looking at Luck and then back at the diamond kingdom mages, the smile on Grim's face deepend.
”You're on.”
Focusing all of his attention on his right foot, Grim burst forward and charged towards the nervous mages.
”THATS THE SPIRIT!” Luck yelled and followed.
”DIAMOND FORMATION 1!” One of the enemy mages shouted before sending a wall of earth at the approaching Grim.
Watching the square shaped wall of earth getting closer, instead of slowing down or changing breaths in order to intercept the attack, Grim increased his speed and charged towards it before doing something that no one expected.
”What the hell!!”
”Nice one Grim!!” Luck laughed from behind.
Twisting in the air, the beast swords materialized back in his hands as he focused his attention on the distant diamond kingdom mages. Taking advantage of the twisting momentum he had gained from vaulting over the wall, Grim used [Sudden Throwing Strike] to throw the swords in a rotating fashion across the long distance before lodging themselves into the ċhėsts of two surprised diamond mages.
”Huh?” Surprised by his actions, it took a minute for the diamond mages that had his swords sticking out of them to react.
”....AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
”CHRISTOPHER!!” One of the diamond mages shouted when he saw one of his friends collapse.
”My turn!” Zooming past Grim, Luck appeared in front of the last two standing diamond mages. ”Down you go.”
By the time Luck had finished electrocuting them, Grim had appeared by his side and the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder looking at weird black haired man wearing a similar outfit to the diamond kingdom mages that they had just taken care of.
”Now would you look at that, two boys brimming with such youthful energy... How frightening.”
