Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 176 - Angel: Last Level 5

He broke it, he broke her right hand. She swung the spear which was now in her left hand at John, but before it reached him, he Shadow Stepped to the ground behind her. 

*Voom* 

Leaving behind a crack and a flash of dark electricity, he leapt at her. His Lightning Form showed no signs of disappearing, and he was moving fast: not as fast as lightning, but faster than her. 

Before she could even turn, his daggers had already pierced her back. Stunned for a moment, she tried to kick back at him, but her armour made things harder. Not only that, but John began freezing her from the inside out, as well. 

He cast 'Tenebris Glacio' and dark ice began to spread quickly from her back all the way around her body. 

Her movements were slowing down, and eventually no matter how much she struggled, without letting out so much as a word, she froze. 

He did it, he survived fighting her at her final level and froze her, and it was all thanks to possession. It boosted his senses to an entirely different level, a point where despite being slower, he could feel, see and avoid all of the girl's high speed attacks. 

Hell, he didn't even have to avoid it. His body automatically did it, as if it had its own 'will.' That 'possession' was a form of defence which gave your body another will along with boosting all of your senses and abilities. 

That is why John knew that if he had just dodged the attack, Master Sylvia would have still been alive. She would have been able to avoid most of the attacks. Even if she had to chant before Shadow Stepping, she still could have lived. 

She died because of him. He killed her. Just thinking about it made John's consciousness and control over his body stray further and further away. 

Now that the boss was trapped in a Dark Ice Crystal, John sheathed in his daggers before stretching out his hand. 

Electricity began to gather in front of it sending dark sparks around the area in the process. 

With this in mind, John began to mix three of his elements to form his strongest offensive spell. The Void Storm Trident. 

As the electricity began to take the shape of a trident, John added a few adjustments. Instead of making it a spinning trident, he added a drill at the end and mixed some of the electricity which was flowing through his body with the trident. 

Lightning was an ionised path for electricity to travel through. With this thought in mind, he formed a path in his mind and grabbed on to the trident. 

His hand suffered a few burns and was shocked because of this, but he didn't let go and even tightened his grip. 

John pulled back his arm with the Spinning Drill Trident pointed straight at the heart of the girl. He then began gathering air behind it to increase it's already lightning fast speed. 

With a hint of hesitation, John slowed down as he was about to throw it forward, but that hesitation quickly disappeared as he thought about what happened to his Master. 

The Dark Ice Crystal began to glow from the inside. She was heating it up.

Before she could free herself, he threw the trident forward, and as it left his hand, it's speed suddenly increased, almost as if it was lightning itself. The trident passed through the Dark ice crystal and pierced into the magic-proof dungeon wall 

*VOOM!* 

There was a large hole in the middle of the Ice Crystal and the girl's chest. The attack pierced and destroyed her heart 

Seeing as how it was over, John deactivated Lightning Flash and was about to deactivate possession when all of the sudden he saw it. 

As his hair settled back down after he cancelled 'Lightning Flash,' he could see that the girl was still regenerating. 

The hole on her chest was closing, slowly but surely. He couldn't believe his eyes; he had pierced her heart, so there was no way that she'd be alive. 

After focusing his hearing to see what the hell was going on, he could hear it. Her heart was still beating. 

Did he miss? Does she have more than one heart? Can she move it around her body? As these questions filled his mind, the ice suddenly began to crack. 

And as he was about to move in to stop her from doing the one thing he knew she was going to do, he wasn't able to. His Lightning Flash was no longer active. 

"Level 5." 

A beam of light was let out and hit the ceiling. Her eyes began to glow brighter and the amount of magic power that she had skyrocketed. 

Her wings were now glowing and the wound in her chest had completely healed. 

She opened her mouth and a loud echoing scream came out. John's eardrums felt like they were going to pop 

John's head was killing him, not because of the scream but something else. He had reached his limit with possession, and something was trying to take over. 

As he collapsed to his knees, the scream then suddenly stopped. Two wind and two light spears were formed above her before she suddenly disappeared. 

Next thing he knew, she was in front of him with her spear in his chest along with the four other magic spears each pierced into both his arms and legs. 

John could feel his life being drained out of him. All hope was lost, and he was on the verge of losing control. 

[Do you want power?] a voice called out to him and asked. 

It didn't belong to Zestari, but he recognised it. It belonged to the dark spirit which he had defeated in the trial. 

[Give me your body... And you'll gain power...] 

The boss pulled out her spear from John's chest, noticing that she missed his heart. 

When she did so, John coughed out blood from his mouth. 

As she pinpointed it and was about to pierce it again, she noticed the grin on his face. 

[Power… Ah… That's right. I need more power.]

John grit his teeth before he muttered.

"I'm borrowing your power… Zestari…"
