Chapter 329 - Zestaris True Intentions. (2/2)

In that moment, the ice bergs were all propelled at John.

Without being able to move a single muscle, John could do nothing but stand there as they made the ice bergs made their way towards him.

”Release Magic Seal's First Layer - Black Hole” He muttered

In that instant, a 10 Meter wide spherical black hole was formed above John's head, right beneath the Ice berg as it was meters away from him.

The ice bergs were s.u.c.k.e.d in a flash. Color faded away from the room and all that could be heard was a sound akin to that of a flash bang. A high-pitched screech.

Zestari then turned her head to the right as John was no longer standing where he was.

'He broke through my magic? Interesting.'

In that moment, she flew up, barely avoiding the ice spikes which rose from the ground beneath her.

The voice came from behind her, upon hearing this, a smile formed on her face as she let out a sigh.

”John, that's what I should be asking you.” She replied

In that instant, six golden chains with pointy edges rose from the ground heading straight at John. John quickly leaped back to avoid them, but they chased right after him, mid air locked on to him.

John instinctively tried to shadow step only to fail, by the time he realized that he couldn't access his [possessed] state. It was too late, the chains were inches away from his body.

He reflexively used the wind to propel his arm and legs in the last second, allowing the chains to only scr.a.p.e by him without completely piercing him.

It was a close-call and the cuts were deep but it didn't hurt at all. The pain was so weak that he didn't even realize that he had been cut.

The chains which went past him, quickly changed directions mid-air and turned back to pierce him from behind.

But they quickly lost track of John as he suddenly vanished.

Or so it seemed. John simply propelled himself higher by mixing gravity and wind magic  before they turned back. However, despite doing so, they quickly caught track of him again and began their pursuit.

This time, they were much faster. Moving at over 60 miles per hour.

John flew around the room with his eyes on Zestari, watching her as she remained motionless. He continued to dodge the endless amount of chains which wouldn't stop flowing out of the ground.

He had grown tired of being on the defensive and began to leave magic circles behind everywhere few seconds he flew around. He was preparing an attack. As Zestari saw this, a smile was formed on her face.

'Let's see what you can do…' She thought to herself

John circled around Zestari, there were around ten magic circles around her, each within a certain radius.

Matter began to take shape in front of each circle. One had fire, the other had water, then came earth, and air, electricity, sound, ice and so on.

'Each magic circle has it's own elemental affinity. Good but…'

Magic beams of each affinity, burst out of each magic circle each heading straight towards Zestari. Rather than beams, high frequency sound waves launched themselves at her, in an attempt to paralyze her.

The sound waves reached before anything else, however to John's surprise, they had no effect. Instead, a surge of wind bursted away from Zestari as the sound of *crackles* could be heard.

'They were canceled?' John thought to himself as he remained airborne

In that instant, the other elemental attacks all landed on Zestari who hadn't moved an inch from her spot, creating a large smoke cloud.

Worried that he might have hurt her, John quickly changed his course and began propelling himself towards her.

When suddenly, he froze.

'Mid-air?!'

”Bam.”

John's heart sunk as he quickly turned to the direction where the voice came from. It was right behind him. However, before he could even see what had happened.

*Boom!*

He was suddenly hit by an immense pressure which caused him crash into the ground. He didn't see it nor could he feel it. It was almost as if it was-

”Gravitas.” Said Zestari. It was John's own spell. ”X1000” She added.

John's body grew heavier and heavier by the second, causing his whole body to be planted on the floor from the sheer pressure.

No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't lift a single muscle.

”Hey, John.” Said Zestari as she suddenly appeared in front of him.

She crouched down at his helpless figure before muttering.

”If you don't take this seriously, you'll die.”

The moment he heard those words, his eyes widened.

”Not by me, but by the other angels who are probably on their way right now to hunt you. Today, and tomorrow and every other day from now, you will be trained for one hour in this room with me. You mustn't lose a single time, nor must you release the 2nd layer of the seal. Are we clear?” Zestari asked.
