Chapter 166 - The Last Fight

That day, not only about his powers and the Sage Emperor, Grand Elder told Sen about some more secrets that he was completely unaware of. Never in his life had he thought that his family had secrets like that.

The day passed, and the night came, Sen had his dinner and headed straight to his room. He jumped on his bed, put his head on the pillow, and closed his eyes at once.

Not to sleep, but to rearrange everything he had found out that day. After revising everything once, he started to doze off and fell asleep without knowing.

Never in his life had he thought the next two years will be the hellish life of his years. For two years straight he used to wake up early in the morning, join Aditya and Sir Jean on his hundred kilometers morning run, then report at home by 8:30.

At first in the first few days, it seemed impossible to him to go a hundred and come another hundred in just an hour, but as time passed by he got used to it and asked his dad to increase the distance some folds.

Since Aditya and Sir Jean had no problem with it they agrees on his requests and used to increase the distance by some folds every alternate month.

After reporting at home Sen used to have his breakfast with his entire family after shower, then a short three-hour lecture on magic spells with Grand Elder.

After the lecture, Grand Elder used to take him to different testing fields to try out the new spells he had learned and to check whether he had mastered the spells that he had taught him before.

Sen always returns drenched in sweat from the spell training so he used to take a second shower of the day then head towards the dining to join the others for lunch.

After lunch followed a one hour rest, then it used to be Granny Kotori's Turn to teach him pure martial arts. Since learning such things usually takes months and years, she used to take Sen inside a room where time flows slower than the outside world and teach him weeks' worth of training in one day.

Whenever Sen came out of that room he was always devoid of mental energy and physical strength. After the one-hour spontaneous martial arts training which equals a week's worth of training, Sen used to have his snacks in the garden then head towards his last station for the day.

And that was near Aditya. Since everyone was contributing something to his growth and training Aditya had taken the responsibility of teaching him physics, chemistry, maths, biology, and literature.

Even though physics, chemistry, and math were seen as useless subjects, Aditya knew their importance and their great physical application. So he was forcing Sen to read them all and understand them by heart.

Monday to Saturday were hellish days for Sen, and every Sunday was his death.

Every Sunday Anisa used to take his combat exams, which involved the use of spells, weapons, and martial arts.

In the duration of two years Sen was not even able to put on a scratch on his mom.

Once in his life he had cornered his mom and that was also the day and last night of his training.

On that day Anisa took out her soul weapon, while Sen took out his twin swords. As usual both of them embedded sage energy in their weapon and plunged towards each other and ended up with a big clash.

On that day none of them were reserving their strengths. Both were going all out from the very beginning, to defeat their opponent as soon as possible.

Seeing the mom and son fight all the servants were sweating buckets in fear. They knew Anisa was more than a veteran in closed ranged combat, accompanied by her 12++ years experience gained from serving in the royal knights as the supreme commander under the leadership of the sage emperor. On the other hand Sen was just a 12-year-old kid, with no real combat experience, but surprisingly he was dodging all of his mom's attacks and even trying his best to suppress her.

The fight was not only limited to swords only, it also involved martial arts and spell evocation. Both of them were using martial arts just to evade each other's attacks and defend themselves from any deadly blows.

But the use of spells... Was something similar to kids playing with water guns on a summer day.

Left, right, top, button, above, below, ground underground…. Spells were thrown here and there like throwing sand and pebbles.

Wherever Sen placed his foot, he would always set a trap in that place and try his best to pull his opponent into that place. This time too Sen had pulled the same trick and had laid traps all over the battle arena.

Anisa was well aware of his tricks and was jumping from trap to trap without even activating it. She was using a magic nullification spell on her legs to defuse the traps laid by Sen.

Whenever she uses that spell of her Sen always greets his teeth and shows a face of disapproval and disappointment.

But this time when his mom was deactivating them, a smirk appeared on his face rather than an expression of disappointment.

Anisa understood something was wrong and her lil kid was planning something. She became high on alerts and took every step carefully to avoid any danger.

Since doing defense may not give a victor of the match, she took the initiative and attacked Sen with an energy whip, extended out of his sword.

If it would have been the Sen two years ago, he may have had a hard time to dodge her each and every attack. Since the energy whips have literally zero weight and they were easy to control.

But the Sen now was a totally different being. He was dancing through her whip attacks and closing the distance between them. Seeing her son was used to her energy whip attacks Anisa showed him something that she had never revealed before, at least not before Sen.

She summoned back her whip and pointed her sword towards the night sky.

"O' the snakes of the nine-headed clan

I summon you to present before me

And entangle my enemy!!"

With that, she swiftly pointed her sword towards Sen and waited for something to happen.

Sir Jean and Aditya face palmed since it was one of her secret attacks that she uses only in time of pinch. And seeing her using it before her son…. Both of them understood that with the addition of some experience Sen will definitely surpass his mother.

While everyone's eyes were set upon Anisa a white light fell from the sky and landed on her sword, making it shine whiter than before.

Sen had a hunch about what was that attack about, and that attack's destructiveness, he was getting prepared for it with the idea that seven energy snakes will emerge from his mom's sword that will attack him like energy whips.

But his expression completely darkened when the real attack came to life.

As expected nine energy snakes emerged from her sword, but that was not the end of her attack. The nine energy snakes split themselves into another nine snakes with the same thickness and size.

Just before his eyes, the splitting happened and the previous nine were eighty-one now.

Sen gulped down the huge chunk of saliva forming in his throat and increased his grip on his swords.

Then everyone was praying for Sen and their eyes too were set on Sen. No one bothered to look towards Anisa, as they knew it was going to be a one sided fight at that point.

Anisa pointed her sword in towards the ground and buried it on the arena floor. The energy snakes completely took over the sword and used it as a source of their energy.

Meanwhile, Anisa backed off a little and was waving her hands to control some of the snakes out of the total set of eighty-one.

Even though Aryan had learned many new things in the past two years, the attack before him was something that he had never seen before.

At this point, he was missing his seven sage powers to fend off that attack and make it a flop.

Since there were restrictions on using the power of cultivation star Sen couldn't even think of using his hidden card.

In time of his pinch, an idea popped in his mind and he began to look around for something.

Seeing his actions others were thinking he was searching for an escape route, but the reality was something different.

After looking here and there and calculating something Sen smirk looking at those groups of snakes and made a taunting to call them towards him.

The energy snakes weren't living beings, but they had some level of intelligence which helps them to detect enemies and attack them.
