Chapter 68 - Emilia Vs Muxus (Part Two)

An old map popped inside the tower, and there were pins on them. One was blue, and the other was red. Lucas saw it and knew what it was. It was just like his map, except that this was used to monitor the battleground. 

There was a group of blue, and one outside. "If my theory's correct, then this group must be us and the one must be Emilia. Then, the red ones must be the goblins. But where is Muxus?", he thought. He then saw one red dot far off in the distance, and it was calling and sending other red dots to and from them.

"That must be him", he thought as he looked. And his theory was indeed right. Muxus was sending in his troops, to fight against her. "All is fair in love, and in war", she said as she aimed her gun. She was hiding quite far away from the other goblins.

She shot, and it shot a throwing knife instead of a bullet. After it reached the desired distance, she began to use her telekinesis. The knife was controlled and it weaved into the goblins like butter. Muxus was shocked.

"Where is this little human attacking from?", he thought. He was looking in all directions, but Emilia didn't stay in one place. Some memories began to play in her mind. "Up and move, maggot! The advantage of a Sniper is to keep moving. On your feet, Maggot!", she heard a stern voice. A voice she had locked deep inside her.

The voice didn't stop there. "Take your aim", it said, and she turned around in instinct. She pulled out two of her throwing knives and threw them straight. Three goblins popped up, it pierced through its heads. The third one began to run towards her, but she sliced its head off with a third knife in her hand. 

She kept running. Muxus could sense her if she doesn't hide her presence. "All right, time to use this. Domain Authority: Howling Winds!", she thought and the calm battlefield began to blow with intense winds. She placed the sniper on her back, and she took out two knives. The rest, she kept them floating behind her. 

The winds were helping in throwing off her scent, but it also helped her in picking up the scent of the goblins ahead. "Muxus, Let me come to you. Just die in anxiety for a little while longer", she thought. "Faster, Maggot. A sniper has got to be fast!", said the voice. She tried to turn it off, but it was impossible for her.

"Oh, dear. Did I startle you?", came another memory. It was a memory she tried to run away from, but she couldn't. The voice in her head was deafening. "Maggot! Get up! Run faster! Or else you're dead!", said the voice on repeat. She hated it, but it was a part of who she was. "No use in running away from the past", she thought.

"No matter what one does, no one can outrun their past. It always catches up to them, and seems like mine, just resurfaced", she thought. The smile on her face was wide, and something inside her was growing. She let the knives go forward, and they cut down several goblins. Right after, a hand smacked her right across the face.

She went flying but wasn't disheartened. She knew who it was in an instant. "Muxus", she smiled. Her smile was wide, and her heart was beating quickly. She knew what she was going to do. She then let go of the two knives she was holding. "Let's fight. Commander to Commander!", she said.

"You puny human dare challenge me?", he said in a menacing tone. He then burst out in laughter, His laughter rang around the field, and it brought chills down everyone's spine. Lucas shivered slightly as he heard the laughter. He knew what a big showdown was about to happen. 

"Come on. There must be a way for me to look far", he thought. He activated [Eye Of Prediction] and [Mana Vision] simultaneously. Then, his vision was enhanced, and he could see two figures. One was small, while the other was a little bit larger than the other. "One must be the Goblin, while the other must be her. Be careful", he thought.

He couldn't see the battleground, and they were one man down. Michelle was still out cold, and Death was silent. He didn't know what was going on, and he didn't have time to worry about that, as he was looking at the match.

The knives began to fly towards Muxus, and he cast a fire spell of his own. He then pulled out something from his staff, and it was a sword. He began to parry the strikes from the throwing knives. Emilia was currently loading her gun while simultaneously controlling ten of the knives. Sweat was forming on her forehead.

"Only maggots get tired. A true warrior never gets tired. Now, are you going to become one, or just sit there and feel sorry for yourself?', came the voice again. She was frustrated. "I am not the weak little girl. I am a gunslinger. And I will show you, you weak pathetic old self, what it means to have strength", she said out loud.

She readied her gun and channeled her Mana. "Burnheart Style: Fourth Form. Multi-Element Blast", she muttered as she charged the gun with all five of the elements. Then, she let it out in a blast, and it hit Muxus square in his gut. "That tickles", he chuckled.

She wasn't mad. Her throwing knives began to shine bright, and they began to represent each element. Then, two were each one element. "Now take this", she said and she directed it to cut at the same place the blast hit. Muxus screamed. The cuts were burning his insides. "Mana infusion into the body. You will feel pain like no other. get ready, cause you are in my Domain", she laughed.

"Domain Authority: Sound Barrier", she raised her hand. An invisible barrier appeared, and no sound was able to escape it. She began to slash across him, and slowly damage him. "I am the great Muxus", he screamed. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever", she said. She thought about the pain that she had hidden.

"Look at her, she is so weak. I just grazed past her, and she's bleeding. What is she?", came a voice. Countless memories clashing into each other. Countless emotions were being brought forward. Hate, Envy, Pain, Sorrow, and most of all, Anger. Just like Lucas, she was mad at herself. "I'm a strong magician, but I am a weak person. Let me shed my old skin here, and get reborn", she said.

Muxus saw the look in her eyes. He began to cower in fear. He felt an inexplicable amount of fear. "What is this human? So much, madness?", he thought as he began to crawl away from her. He knew that he had to get away from her. His instincts were screaming. "And my instincts are the only thing that got me the title of 'Great Commander'. Otherwise, no goblin would be willing to lay their lives under my orders", he thought.

He got up, but another cut from the knife severed something in his legs. The tendons of his muscles were being cut down, and now, he was limping. "If this goes on, I will lose", he thought. He then spread out his hands to the air and began to call upon the same power Grummsh called upon.

"I call upon you, Mighty Maglubiyet. Grant me, Muxus, the Goblin Grandee, your powers to fight against this inhumane monster. This Humble person asks you!", he said.

Then, a flash was seen, and all his wounds began to heal. Emilia didn't hesitate. She sat down on the ground and took out her sniper. She loaded the bullets that were given to her by the others. "Now, let's look at your Mana potentials, shall we?", she smiled.

Right after the flash was over, Muxus stood there towering tall as before. Any signs of damage that was made, was vanished. Even his muscles were growing at a fast pace. He smiled. "Now, you little monster will suffer my wrath", he said as he pulled out a plethora of elements.

"Great Commander's First Move. Hundred Element Sword", he said as there were swords of different elements floating behind him. Then, he aimed every corner at her. "Uh oh", she thought as she saw one heading towards her. She jumped and did a backflip. As she was doing it, she aimed at its shoulder. "Take!", she said and fired a bullet off.

The bullet lodged itself into Muxus's shoulder. Then, he couldn't remove it. He tried to remove it, but it wouldn't budge. He didn't mind it, and he sent swords one after another. Emilia's footwork had changed. Now, it looked like she was sliding on the floor, as she was dodging every strike effortlessly.

Muxus was panicking. Although he had called upon the power of the Goblin God, he still couldn't beat her. And that was frustrating him. After finishing all the swords, smoke was formed around, and he lost his eyes on her. he then felt another bullet lodged in his ribs, and then blood came spurting out.

"Muxus, time to die", she said and snapped her fingers. Muxus's body began to freeze on the outside, and it was burning on the inside. The ice wasn't melting, instead, it enhanced the burning of Muxus. After a few minutes, Muxus was burned down to ashes.

"Well, time to deactivate the Domain", she thought as she called down all of the buildings, advancing to the next floor.
