Chapter 92: Cheating

/Mana Breathing/

'deep inhale'

Eli felt a sudden pain in his heart and lungs as if the technique fueled the already burning insides. Due to specific blockages in his body, he can't use the Arts, so he focused on body strengthing.

While Luna was talking to him but he couldn't hear it due to crispy sounds inside his ears.

'...'

He tried to move his body but....these white ropes were strong that he couldn't move his hand even after strengthening his body. So he concentrated the mana entered towards his right hand and left leg.

Luna was about to do something.

"hereby give you...JUDGEMENT"

"I don't think so..." Eli muttered as he pulled out Celestria from storage and with straining muscles he threw Celestria as the ropes on the right hand tore and freed his hands and there was a crack under the left leg.

He used his left leg to solidify his motion and with enough transfer the inertial force towards his right hand.

'sshhhh'

'chuck'

"-Urrgghh-"

Celestria pierced Luna's abdomen as the red dyed her beautiful white dress but still, she was smiling as she said while looking at Eli's struggling to tear other white ropes, "Haha... it's judgment time" she said in a wicked smile as she winked at him with a bloody mouth.

Eli who heard that turned to look at Luna's wicked smile. No matter how he tried he couldn't tear off the ropes...now only then realized that these were made up of condensed mana just like Augment Mana Vision....but these are more potent.

If he used his Art then it won't be a problem for him and also he can't use Ember because it was also wrapped along with his left hand by a white rope.

"...."

"Heh..."

But something inside him felt really alive, unknowingly a smile crept on his face. He never felt like this after his wife's dead, 'I guess, It has been a long time since feeling thrilled being cornered by someone..' Eli thought.

If it was before his almost death, he would have not felt this because he always longed for his own death but after....finding a path where others still want to be with him.

He accepted and moved towards them; towards his new life....so, that's the feeling of being cornered and unarmed, his past self showed up as he also winked at her.

When he winked at her, Luna who smiling ear to ear turned dumbfounded as she saw Eli being covered by white smog.

"..."

Those who have seen this turned silent as they didn't know what was happing inside the white smog and they turned into a dome-like structure; this was their first time seeing Luna using her cards as she always carefully hide her powers.

"-Urgghh-"

'tttaaaggg'

Luna slowly pulled out the Celestria and threw it to the side and then she used healing magic on herself.

'ssshhh'

"No one could interfere in a duel, right?" Eli suddenly asked in an indifferent tone.

"...." Aadya pondered a bit but soon she nodded her head to agree.

'boom'

Then he suddenly smacked her head on the ground.

"-urhh-"

Some blood spurted from her mouth. He then turned to pick up his weapon.

Using this chance, 'Heh...idiot, never show 'cough, cough' your back to your opponent' she thought as suddenly threw a small knife which was hidden under her robe.

'ting'

"You are the not only one who has a hidden weapon," Eli said without turning back he hit it with Ember in fast motion so that only a few could see what happened.

Hearing this she looked for her staff which was thrown away when Eli caught her neck.

"..."

But to her dismay, her staff was laying near his trident.

'I don't know what happened...but he must have cheated or used some kind of artifact...yes, that's right there is no way anyone could be unaffected by Judgement...he must be using some artifact, I have to inform Aadya' She thought as she suddenly stood up and shouted at Aadya.

"Ms. Aadya, he was cheating..." but Aadya didn't say anything.

"Aadya, I am saying the truth he must be cheating there is no way anyone can escape from Judgement...I am sure he must be using some kind of Artifact...you have to disqualify him..." Luna said worried and shocked tone because Aadya didn't even listen to her.

"Bitch..." Luna muttered silently in anger...to others they may not hear but Aadya, she had a sharp ear...but she didn't show any reaction as if she already experienced this kind of treatment.

Seeing no reaction from Aadya, Luna used her last resort which she was saving if Eli were to win in the duel. In the first place, She agreed with the conditions because she already have someone who could help her if things go south....so was going to use her last trump card.

"BIG SISTER....HE IS CHEATI.....-urrghh-" Luna shouted towards the sky but,

"Why are keep barking...?" someone muttered in a chilling tone behind her as she felt something pierced on her back.

Slowly turning to look only to see...Eli's left hand holding a trident which pierced her back and his right hand picking dust in his ear as he looked at her with an indifferently smiling face...

"...."

Which was a good smile for her.

"Well then, Naughty girls should be punished...right?" Eli said emotionless tone he pulled out the Celestria and grabbed her neck again.

"Where should I start...?" Eli asked as his eyes roamed her body.

"Huh...let's start with your eyes. Shall we?"
