Chapter 53
Magic (3)
After another two weeks, she was ready. Even with the uncertainty of being able to cultivate on his planet or not, she finished getting what she needed, just so they could leave faster.
Switch sighed and said that they should say their goodbye’s or perhaps have a farewell gathering instead.
Anonym had greatly smiled at the idea! She demanded that to happen and left it all up to Switch to organize.
Another day pa.s.sed, and Switch had done exactly that!
He made a strange building that seemed quite ma.s.sive and had a huge amount of s.p.a.ce inside. She had asked what it was and what it was made of, but he had shrugged, “Something else. I don’t know.”
It was an oval shaped building, with many chairs around but in the middle seemed to be a nice gra.s.sy area that even had lines upon it. Switch hadn’t done any of the chairs on the outer area, as they had come along with the magic he had used when it materialized. But in the middle, he had placed many tables and chairs and a stage for music or dancing.
An interesting thing about it, was that they could look up to see the sky, that was now starting to go dark.
Switch had wanted something big, because he had invited everybody of the Rain Clan, there were a few people that Presley picked up from other parts of Murkcloud continent that were also attending.
As people started to come, they all were very interested in this new building!
The gathering lasted all night. The Emperor was silently pleased upon learning that Anonym and Switch were going to travel and may not return.
Since his last…Meeting, with Anonym, he had finally taken an Empress, who seemed very appropriate for her status. Not only that, but he had ‘proved’ his youth by conceiving another child with his concubine, who was also attending the gathering. The Emperor gave Switch and Anonym a small gift each, even having one for Alex.
Mark had been upset upon learning of them leaving and wanted them to return to the Rain Clan at least once. The Princess, with her husband, had also came saying the same thing, that Anonym and Switch should return at least once.
Also, the Emperor quite liked this large area and had asked Switch if it could remain here, even though it was initially outside of the Rain Clan.
Switch had agreed and asked what he would use it for. The Emperor said that there would be many things, they could use it for when visitors from other continents arrive, as well as a compet.i.tion area for people to show their might.
Anonym was interested in that idea and already wanted to fight!
She wanted to be the first person victorious in this battle arena!
The General didn’t like how they were leaving either! But instead of saying words, he demanded another fight with Anonym. Anonym was extremely happy and obliged him as they became the next entertainment through the night.
Upon the stage, they had stared at each other for some time. Both the General and Anonym had a grin on their faces like they were already battling with their eyes.
“Has the General improved?” Anonym asked.
The General raised his thick brows, “This old man hasn’t much time to lay about and cultivate like you do!”
Anonym, who had gotten her sword from Switch earlier, took the scabbard of the sword and throw it to the side.
Seeing the sword glow a very bright black colour, the General was very surprised, he knew how hard it was to infuse an item with Dexterity! “Very well.”
Bring out his own sword, that glowed in a dim red colour, signifying strength, he threw his own sword’s scabbard to the side.
“Shall we begin?” Anonym asked, swiping her sword through the air.
The crowd were already ready for their fight to start, watching them first eye each other, they were even more eager now to see the action!
“Let’s begin, little girl.” The General said, getting into a battle stance.
Anonym charged towards the General and in mid stride, half way through, shapeshifted.
Upon her shapeshift, the General looked at her with stunned eyes and lowered his sword.
Taking that chance, Anonym kicked the sword out of his hand and stepped behind him, holding her brilliant, black glowing sword against his neck. “What’s the matter, General? Lost ya nerve?”
The General, was speechless for a moment, “That…That’s cheating!”
Anonym let him go and laughed heartily, “I didn’t cheat!”
Looking upon the person that Anonym turned into, the General looked away from her, “You knew that I wouldn’t attack my own grandfather!”
“Yes! I did! So, that makes me victorious!” Anonym said, putting her sword to her shoulders lazily.
The General looked back at the body that looked like his hero, “I won’t fight with my grandfather!”
“Are you admitting defeat?” Anonym asked.
“Not admitting defeat against a cheater!” He grumbled.
Laughing, Anonym said, “General, isn’t it a simple fact in fighting that you find your opponent’s weakness? I wasn’t cheating at all, I was…Using a simple, straight forward technique that everyone knows about!”
The General made no move, he was adamant, he wouldn’t fight against the body before him! “I will not fight with that body!”
Sighing, Anonym changed back to the body of the sixteen-year-old girl again. “Then that will be boring. Let us continue! Pick up your sword, General!”
The General’s and Anonym’s fight lasted for quite some time, stopping in intervals so they could both drink some freedom elixir or heal. Now that she knew the art of Healing as well, she could choice between the two. The difference was that the art of Rejuvenation was more like a selfish kind of healing. The art of Healing was the opposite and had more of a larger field of knowledge. The art of Healing wasn’t just based on humans, and it also helped with the mind of someone as well. But, Anonym used the art of Rejuvenation mostly because it was faster for these kinds of wounds.
They both came across to the crowd as very impressive and knowledgeable when it came to fighting. They wouldn’t stop at just swords, they would use their feet to kick and flip around while dodging.
She put out traps for the General, for the most part he was able to stay away from them, but did get trapped once, making him lose him pants.
Anonym was cheeky and would trick the General a few times with different shapeshifting methods and it would make him angry!
One of the bodies she used was the woman that looked absolutely stunning, which in turn made the General nearly get stabbed in the side, due to delayed blocking.
Another shapeshift was into an animal that crawled all over the General and biting him. The General went red in rage, wanting to rip the creature away from him!
Strangely, the General being angry, he still didn’t ask to stop. He didn’t accept defeat even when she had on purposely let her sword slice some of his flesh. When the wounds became too much to bear, Anonym would touch him and heal him herself, stopping the Emperor from getting angry over his wounded General.
The crowd were in awe, her fighting ability was very good, and on top of that she could also heal!
On the other hand, the General had only gotten her once, it was quite and extensive wound and would have been vital were it not for the art of Rejuvenation or Healing. Anonym was quite impressed to be honest, she was happy he still took advantage of her own move of opening that part of her body to do her own move, that ended up being her own weakness as he had just dodged to the side, slashing her as he went.
After slicing her with a long deep gash across her stomach, he had stopped dead in his tracks and profusely apologized. But Anonym just sat down and healed herself and afterwards got up, saying that she was ready to proceed!
