Chapter 124 - Back From Hell

"You kids?" Selvis grabbed the armrest of his chair, 

"You were luckier than those two to be saved from the crime you committed, but shame!

You threw away the mercy of God and walked right to your end!" 

"Mercy of God? I don't know about that, but if there is a God to bestow mercy on someone, you better start praying to them!" Styrmir cracked his knuckle and grinned.

Riger vanished from their sight but Selvis and others didn't react to it, 

"What a fucking attitude from someone who got their ass dragged on the floor before!" Jeremy leaped at Styrmir and stood in front of him, he was looking at Styrmir, 

"Last time you need to be saved by that bitch but this time I will show you the true power of Diesswrin elite mage!"

"The power of Elite huh? What is going to do an attack on your back again? If you are really that afraid like before? I could give you a handicap if you want." 

Zia pulled out her sword, pointed at Selvis, but Bria came and stood in front of him and walked to Zia, 

"I guess your only strength is talking?" Bria raised her arm, 

[ MAGIA FLAME EXPLOSION ]

[ VOLCANIC BLAST! ]

The land below Zia and Styrmir feet started glowing and heating up, and a huge blast enveloped the land around, 

"Be careful Bria, my son and nobles are below us in the dungeon, I don't want to lose precious fodder anymore!" Selvis sighed, 

"Oye, bitch! How dare you take my prey! Do you know how long it has been since I got blood on my fist!"  Jeremy was stomping the ground whining like a kid,

"I am not sorry then, that was it-"

"Well, she sure is entertaining, but I am afraid it will end sooner than I expected." The voice of Zia came from a bit far from the explosion range, they were standing right close to the scorching ground.

"Ho! So you evaded that! Your grace, please permit us to go all out!" Bria and Jeremy looked at Selvis and he raised his fingers.

"Go ahead, but take them away from here, I don't want a commotion here…"

As soon as Selvis spoke they both charged at Styrmir and Zia, meanwhile was standing behind Clove all this time hiding behind her, 

'Why are they here?! What should I do? At that moment I was prepared to die by his hands but! Please both of you get away from here!' She clenched her first with remorse strangling her.

"Your grace, are you sure sending those two alone?" 

Clove looked at Selvis who was playing with the pendant, 

"Why not? It would be a good exercise for them! 

besides Melvi! You said you wanted to work for me on your own accord, don't feel sorry for your teammates for a bit?"

"Well then punk! Why don't you show me what you got?! Jeremy was a few yards away from the Selvis and was furious with his fists.

"Last time, I wasn't able to fight properly, after I got saved by the captain, but this time! I swear I will wipe the ground with your face!" 

Styrmir crossed his arms and his mana started rushing out, his body got covered in cyan tint and the wind was storming around his body.

"So you are a wind user?" 

"Hehe! That's a secret!" Styrmir leaped at him with a hard fist, 

[ RAGING GUST! ]

Jeremy crossed his arm to block it, and a huge blast broke the earth below his feet.

"Hoho! Not too shabby for a brat like you! I guess I would amuse myself for a little longer!" 

There wasn't even a single scratch on Jeremy!,

He was grinning with pure blood lust in his eyes.

"I never expected this to be easy in the first place…" Styrmir was sweating but it only made his heart race more like an engine.

"Well, then it's my turn now!

[ MAGIA MUSCLE EVOLUTION ]

[ 10 FOLD LAYERS ]

[ LIMIT - 30 % ]

Jeremy's body started swelling up! Especially his arms, they swelled up inhumane, his palm alone was now as big as Styrmir's chest!

"What in the hell is this magia?" Styrmir took a few steps back in a daze, 

"Hoho! Are you surprised? My magia is one of the tropes of bio-modification. I can modify my body muscles and control the limits of my strength. We humans mostly can use up to 80% of our total muscle strength which can mostly help you pull up some 200-300 kgs at most! 

But my magia, surpass your human limitation! Creating and binding muscle tissues is just raw power!" 

Jeremy punched the ground and shook off Styrmir's feet, 

"What a weird magia!" 

Styrmir charged at him, with every punch and kick a strong wind blast, but they weren't doing anything!

Jeremy was just covering his face while Styrmir was raining down punches and kicks on continuously until he was out of breath.

"That's it?" Jeremy grabbed his wrist and pulled him thrashing an elbow at his face.

Styrmir dug the ground for several yards with his feet in an attempt to stop and get back on his feet.

"What the fuck is wrong with this monster! His skin had become harder! It is almost as if I am pounding steel with my bare hands!" Styrmir was catching his breath, but Jeremy had no intention to let him do that.

"Is your mouth the only thing you can use properly?" Jeremy picked him grabbing skull, 

"Well then! Let me end this now!"

On the other hand, 

"Alright kid, no hard feelings but I will end this quickly, so buckle up!" 

[ MAGIA EXPLOSION ]

[ FLARE BOMBS! ]

Bria pointed her arm and a magus circle appeared before Zia and many fireworks shooted out of it chasing Zia, no matter how much she evaded them they just rushed at her.

"This is bothersome!" Zia got in a stance, 

[ DEMON EATING BLADE! ]

[ DEVOUR! ]

Zia blade started oozing out mana and swung its air creating a hollow gap in air, and all the flares went inside it.

"Interesting! You are a demon as well as you can use a peculiar sword! You know what I will let you live if you give me that sword!" 

"You can have it! When it is through your body!" 

[ MAGIA IVY EMBERS! ]

[ SCORCHING SHEATH ]

Her blade got covered in rosy-hued flame, and she and she leaped at Bria, 

"Aww! Well, I have no choice then!"

Bria just stood there and Zia's blade went pierced chest, 

"What!" Zia looked at Bria, she was smiling at him, her wound didn't bleed and she stood there as nothing happened,

"Got you!" Bria grabbed her wrist, 

[ MAGIA EXPLOSION ]

[ PUPPET CRACKER ]

Bria's hair started sparking and burning out to her head creating a massive explosion! 

The explosion was drastic, and everything got covered in black smoke, slowly when it faded, Zia was on the ground, burned.

"Wow! It took only that to knock you out! Look at you still holding on to that sword!" Bria crawled out of the ground, and walked to Zia, 

"Tell me! Do you really think that you, a couple of newborns, could defeat veterans like us? 

We are built to kill! Don't have any sour feelings, you never had any chance to begin with!

Let me put you at ease! I will make sure that your family gets your ashes, 

Now go join your captain and that other brat!" 

Bria stepped on Zia's head pointing a finger at it, 

"What did you just say?" Zia whispered, 

"Oh, you are alive!" 

"You damn right I am! And I won't die now and here! And what you said before about my captain and that perveRise…"

Styrmir who was struggling in Jeremy's grip, 

"They are going to fuck up you all!"

"What did you say? Those deads are going to fuck us up? Listen here, kid! The dead don't come back!

This is the human limit! I saw them turning to dust! 

You, weaklings, are nothing like that!

If there is anyone who has fooled death, even once! They are nothing but pure destruction then!"

Jeremy was tightening his grip while Bria made her aim, 

A strange wind irked them, 

"What is this? Did someone leave the dungeon gate open? Where is this creepy aura oozing out?"

Selvis looked around and found nothing, 

"Yes! It is very disturbing! Did someone leave the corpses in the dungeon" Clove was getting goosebumps with the strange ominous feeling

"What the hell is this? What a creepy feeling!" Bria took her step back and grabbed her shoulder, Zia took the support of her sword and got up, 

"Took their sweet time!"

"What is that? Is it duke? Did he use the Pendant?" Jeremy was shaking his head in confusion and then he saw Styrmir smiling, 

"This feeling! It sure takes me back! Just like now, every idiot-

Nah they were actually talking sense!

They thought he wouldn't stand again! But he came!"
