Physics The Greatest Magic

Chapter 185 - Unexpected Arrival (2)

Once Azure and his party had crossed the bridge, the first thing he did was head straight to John and Master Sylvia 

Ayda followed behind as she could use healing magic, he seemed to have a grasp over the situation. 

Suddenly, Serena called out to him 

"Wait! That's not John!" 

Upon hearing this, Azure turned to Serena and with a smile he replied 

"I know-" 

The instant he said that, he grabbed on to his scabbard before moving it behind him, blocking the attack which had been aimed at him in the process. 

"Hm... You blocked it... Who are you?" John asked 

"A demon who dares possess the body of a child has no right knowing my name. But I shall tell you one thing." 

Azure's blue hair suddenly turned a glowing red in colour as he pulled out his sword. It was long, sharp and seemed expensive. Its colours were a mixture of gold and white, the sword looked like something that had never been taken off of display due to how clean it was. 

"What's that?" John asked without a hint of fear or doubt. 

"If you don't give up control right now, you'll regret it." He continued with a smile 

His sword began to glow a bright reddish yellow colour before he swung it 

---------------------------- 

As the two continued on their way home, they noticed that the air around them was rather quiet. John was trying desperately to remember where his house was, while Elena was trying to think up of a conversation 

"Hey, John, Remember the first day you came here?" She asked 

[I didn't even remember when I got here but now that she mentioned it...] 

"Yeah, I think..." 

"Your amnesia made you forget that too...? Are you sure we don't need a doctor?" 

"Yeah, I'm starting to remember, it's fine, but what about it?" John asked 

"Well you see, on the first day... You acted a little weird." 

"I did? In what way?" 

[Hearing it might trigger something...] 

"Well, you were popular, and there were many people who wanted to talk to you, you know." 

"There was?" 

"Yeah... Until..." 

"Until?" 

"Until you made it seem like you weren't interested in talking to them" 

"I did?" 

[Really? Me? I don't feel like the kind to ignore someone...] 

To this she nodded before asking 

"Don't you remember what happened?" 

John placed his hand on his chin as he tried thinking of something but his brain came out empty. 

[Damn it... Why can't I remember] He wondered before shaking his head 

"Well you see... They asked you a lot of questions, and then to all of these questions, you only replied with-" 

She was interrupted by John who seemed to have suddenly realised something 

"Yes? I said Yes right?" 

"Yes! Yes was the only thing you said! When they asked where you came from you replied, yes. What do you like doing? Yes, couldn't you think of a decent conversation?" She asked as she stared at him 

"Is that so... Wow I must have been a jerk..." 

Hearing this, Elena suddenly shook her head before saying 

"Not at all!" 

[What?] 

-------------------------------------- 

The instant he swung it, a golden flame erupted from the edge of the sword, heading straight towards the Area which he swung it 

John who saw these flames, formed a dark sphere around him to block it, but as if it was never there, the flames quickly passed through the sphere entering it and engulfing the inside in flames 

But before it could, John disappeared and reappeared outside of the sphere in an area where there weren't any flames 

In that instant, Azure leapt through the flames before swinging his sword vertically at John. 

John avoiding it by tilting to the side, but in that instant, Azure changed the direction of the sword despite the motion and moment being aimed downwards, and slashed John's right arm 

Seeing this, the two girls along with Master Sylvia got worried as they thought that he might really kill John but at the same time, they noticed that John's arm hadn't fallen off, not only that but, there was no injury or blood. 

Despite that, John suddenly dropped to the ground and grabbed on to his hand, he had a calm expression but his arm was shaking. 

[Hm... My arm feels like it's engulfed in flames and yet I can't see it... It's like a mixture of fire and the holy element...] 

"I see..." Said John as he suddenly appeared above Azure with his left dagger drawn 

He swung it down and yet without turning, the man blocked it by parrying it with his sword. 

He then turned to John and still had that same smile on his face. The moment John saw this, he felt annoyed. 

He vanished and reappeared behind Azure before attacking again but he was parried, John tried again and again, reappearing in any location that showed an opening. 

Behind, in front, to the sides, it was a barrage of very fast attacks, Serena's eye's couldn't keep up with it, while Ariel couldn't believe what she was seeing. 

Azure was on the defensive but not a single hit had been landed on him. Even if John was only able to use one hand, it was still unbelievable. 

As the barrage continued, darkness began to spread through the floor before in an instant, a square which covered a wide area was under them. 

Azure looked unfazed by this and a split second later, the edge of the squares rose up forming a cube which trapped both of them inside 

He was now in John's territory. John moved in to finish him off, in the dark, concealing his presence, when all of the sudden, a bright light came from the area where azure was standing, and the cube cracked letting all the light from the arena return 

[The holy element really is a pain to fight against at my current state... Should I leave? My form is still incomplete...] 

John looked over at the man who had continued to remained on the defensive and found himself even more ticked off by his smile. 

[I'll leave after giving him a good beating...] 

John decided to try something new, he reappeared in front of Azure before leaping straight at him 

Once he saw this, Azure moved his sword towards John's swing to parry it, but in that moment, two dark spears were formed behind him, aimed straight at his back. 

There was no way he could defend all three attacks at once, they were all moving at the same speed and were already hard enough to sense. 

As John's swing got closer and closer to Azure's sword, it began to glow brighter, and right before it parried it, John found the sword going through his torso and the dark spears behind him. All in a single motion. 

"How...?" John asked as he fell on to his knees before he suddenly collapsed to the ground. 

"It's simple, I'm just that much stronger than you.." Said Azure as he placed his sword back into the scabbard.
