Chapter 102 - Mesa versus the Lich King (1/2)

Looking at the creature that suddenly appeared, Jasmine and Ophis were quite surprised by its appearance. They were so focused on Mesa and hoping for him to pull through, that they failed to notice the appearance of the Lich King. After it appeared, Jasmine looked at it and was suddenly struck with fear.

”What is that thing?! Where did it come from?!” Said Jasmine in distress.

”Big sis, what is the matter?” Asked Ophis, who was caught off guard by Jasmine's sudden outburst. Pointing her finger at the Lich King, Ophis looked at it and was getting angry herself. Though its power was nothing compared to her own, the feeling that she got from it was not one she liked.

”That thing over there! What is that thing and how did it get here?!” Said Jasmine.

”Big sis, is that not a devil from this world?” Asked Ophis.

”I don't know. There shouldn't be any devils left.” Said Jasmine.

Right after this, they saw the Lich King start bringing the dead back to life. After seeing this, Jasmine was certain about one thing. This is not a devil from this world. But the big question remaining was: 'How did it get in this world?'

But seeing as how the Lich King was about to go and kill Xia Qingyue and Mesa, Jasmine decided to ignore the question of how it got here and wanted to go out and help Mesa.

”Ophis, let's go! That thing wants to kill Mesa! We have to help him!” Said Jasmine hurriedly as she grabbed Ophis and wanted to leave the Sky Poison Pearl. But to her major surprise, she found out that she couldn't exit the Sky Poison Pearl. Wondering what was going on, she suddenly heard Mesa's voice.

”Didn't I tell you to stay in there Jasmine. I am gonna get that Infinity Stone and I need you to stay in there.” Said Mesa as he was getting up.

”Mesa! You're awake! What happened?” Asked Jasmine.

”Overexertion. That's what happened. I am using Avalon and Vergil's instant healing powers way more than normal right now to heal myself. And there's no need for you both to worry, I'll take care of that thing.” Said Mesa as he walked over to Xia Qingyue and patted her on the head, taking over the fight against the Lich King.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With its light piercing through the skies, Mesa knew that his barrier he'd set up was destroyed. Thus he had very little time to finish this fight, before other people arrived on the scene. Focusing his attention back on the Lich King, he saw him blocking out the light of Excalibur while screaming in pain, but he knew that this would only end up angering him even more than actually damage him.

Once the light had faded away, the Lich King furiously looked at Mesa and saw the sword shining with a golden light in his hands and spoke angrily in his characteristic echo voice: ”YOU! That sword! That is not Ashbringer! Where did you get that sword!”

Holding Excalibur with both hands to his side, Mesa just smiles smugly at the Lich King, which further infuriates his, and proceeds to tell him: ”You're right, this isn't Ashbringer. It's far, far worse, for you at least. This sword is Excalibur. The strongest holy sword and the pinnacle of holy swords. For a creature of such dark evil such as yourself, this sword is your worst nightmare, your Achilles heel so to speak.”

Infuriated, the Lich King launches himself at Mesa and attacks him with Frostmourne. Mesa, using his Sharingans and his Observation Haki, could just keep up with the Lich King's speed. Using the Power Stone to increase his strength, he meets the Lich King head on. Putting his instant healing factor and Avalon into overdrive to keep the strain from using the Power Stone away, Mesa clashes with the Lich King. Their clash causing the space around them to tremble with massive gust of wind blowing away everything that wasn't bolted to the ground. From a distance, their clash caused both of their aura's to envelop them in a cocoon that were pushing against each other. Mesa aura had a golden shine to it and the Lich King's aura had a crystal blue with black shine to it.

In the distance, people could feel their clash. They felt the evil darkness of the Lich King and the holy light of Mesa using Excalibur clash against each other.

Back at the fight. Mesa and the Lich King were pushing against each other with all their might, trying to overpower the other. Swinging their swords against each other with all their might, they fought like wild lions trying to kill each other with everything they had. Every time their swords clashed, the space around them would tremble from their violent clash, massive gales would travel across the land and earthquakes were devastating were felt many, many felt away. After a while, they both were thrown back by the violence of their clash.
