The Moonlight Swordsman

Chapter 337 Got Tricked

?

When the intense battle between Seraphine, Clud, and Blud was going on, Soren swiftly closed the gap between the mages from the Zulivan and Beast Kingdoms. 

His gravity-based power had helped him gain ground quickly, bringing him closer to his targets. As he moved forward, he saw a glimmer of hope: the rare Lulla Fairy fluttering further down the abyss.

Her bright feathers sparkled like valuable gems and gave off a glow that was mesmerizing even from far away.

They haven't fought among themselves till now...hmm... I will take advantage of it," Soren thought.

"Gravity threefold,"

As the mysterious force of gravity wrapped around Soren, a strange weight fell on him, making him feel heavier than ever before. 

Gradually, he began to accelerate in the seemingly endless descent.

At the same time...

"Suli, this guy is getting close to us."

"Beware of his power, Thampi; he can use gravity, and he is dangerous. Remember, we don't have to fight all the way to death. We need to catch the fairy in order to win this battle," Suli replied.

"Woah, this is latest news," Thampi said.

"It's fucking not idiot, Master explained it to us before the battle."

With the grace of wings guiding them through the air, Suli and Thampi soared gracefully, side by side. 

But all of a sudden, as if in perfect timing, they spread their wings wide, making a space between them.

At the same time, Soren, who was falling quickly, saw the opening and took advantage of it.

Is this guy stupid, heading straight for the trap?" Suli thought.

As the thrilling pursuit continued, a sudden transformation overtook the wings of Thampi and Suli. Their once fluffy parts started to glow in a strange way and changed into shiny metal forms.

With a near-spooky sense of timing, the flying race turned toward Soren and closed in on him from both sides.

In the heart-pounding moment when Thampi and Suli's metallic wings threatened to close in on Soren, he instinctively raised both his hands, palms facing each wing. 

His voice rang with authority as he issued the order, "Repel."

Thampi and Suli were both sent flying backward at the speed of a comet in an instant. Thampi's path took him straight toward the falling waterfall.

Meanwhile, Suli found herself entangled in a mesmerizing dance with the mages from the Zulivan Kingdom.

*CRACKLE*

With a loud crack of thunder and a powerful surge of energy, Thampi appeared next to Soren.

His body was now covered in a stunning show of crackling lightning, giving him a fearsome aura.

"You are really strong; this is really the latest news," He said to Soren.

"Propel," Soren said.

As soon as Soren said "propel," an invisible force grabbed Thampi's huge body and pulled him quickly toward Soren. 

In the blink of an eye, their proximity closed, and Soren's fist struck with remarkable precision, landing a forceful blow right into Thampi's gut.

Soren's sharp eyes briefly looked away from the intense moment he was having with Thampi to see what was going on nearby.

His eyes went straight to Suli, who was fighting hard with the Zulivan Mages.

He was surprised to see that while Suli was dealing with one of the mages, the other mage had cleverly used the time to get closer to the Lulla Fairy.

In a swift and startling motion, Thampi's wings expanded dramatically, their metallic feathers crackling with electric energy. 

Like a flash of lightning, the charged feathers flew at Soren at a very high speed. 

Reacting with the agility of a seasoned warrior, Soren swiftly summoned a sword in mid-air, prepared to fend off the electrifying assault.

Soren's agile body weaved smoothly through the air as his eyes were sharp and focused. With precise timing and calculated movements, he expertly deflected and dodged each lightning-laden feather that hurtled toward him.

With a swift motion, Soren extended his hand in the direction of Thampi, his eyes gleaming with focus. A hushed command escaped his lips, "Zero Gravity."

"Huh.. what what... this was not in the news," Thampi yelled.

Thampi's body started to defy gravity. It was as if the very core of his being had broken free from Xelgar.

His once mighty wings, now dormant and devoid of their electrifying energy, failed to keep him anchored to flying.

Instead, he floated without any weight, going up in the air like a ghost.

As Thampi tried to get out of Zero Gravity's grip, he felt a strange feeling creep up his spine. When he looked up, he saw something that scared him so much that he couldn't breathe.

Seraphine herself led an impressive flock of ice phoenixes as they soared through the sky, their icy feathers shimmering with magical energy. 

Seraphine, a vision of icy grace, stood poised at the helm of her icy army. 

Her icy phoenixes flew through, bringing her closer to the falling waterfall. A daring plan brewed in her mind as she made a split-second decision.

Swiftly dismounting from her phoenix, she took a leap of faith, her spear clutched firmly in hand.

  The waterfall wrapped around her like a watery cradle, and she started her risky descent down the water curtain with a clear mind. She gained speed as she surfed expertly on the surface of the waterfall. 

  Her spear, rose steadily with one hand raised high. As her mastery over water magic took form, a breathtaking spectacle unfolded. 

Two majestic water dragons emerged from the very heart of the waterfall, their forms imposing and fierce.

In that pivotal moment, Seraphine's gaze remained unwavering, focused solely on Thampi, who found himself ensnared in the grip of Zero Gravity's ethereal force. Struggling to maintain control, Thampi tried to break free, but the magical hold was unyielding.

As the water dragons rushed forward in an amazing show of strength, their forms underwent a mystical transformation. 

In an instant, their watery bodies crystallized into magnificent icy dragons. They moved toward Thampi in perfect timing, leaving a trail of frost in the air with their cold breath.

As the frozen dragons drew nearer, Thampi's eyes widened in terror and awe. A head-on collision seemed inevitable, and his attempts to avoid it were hopeless.

With a resounding impact, the icy dragons crashed upon him, their frozen forms entwining with his, making him freeze in a second. 

Thampi's body, encased in a layer of icy frost, met its ultimate fate. The force of the crash broke his body into many pieces, just like a statue that has fallen apart.

"ANOTHER ONE DOWN... this girl is now on the hunt with her icy army," Shoka's voice boomed again in the Colosseum.

"WOAHH!!!!!!

"FROST QUEEN!!!...

"FROST QUEEN!!!...

"FROST QUEEN!!!...

"FROST QUEEN!!!...

"Sera is so cool," Hazel commented.

"She has taken down three mages so quickly. Now only three remain; they both can win the battle easily now," Aizel replied.

"Why this idiot not killing anyone?" Yongiri yelled in frustration.

"He is doing good; killing doesn't mean anything in this battle." Raigun Redmont replied.

"But the thing that makes me wonder is, how is that guy so calm and using his brain for the first time? It's a marvelous situation," Xavior Valtor said.

"Hahaha...."  Everyone laughed after hearing that.

"It seems the kid is maturing with his magic and age," The king replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, at Soren's side...

Soren's eyes narrowed intently on the scene unfolding not far away.

The Theodora Kingdom mage and Suli, the last avian mage, were fighting fiercely in midair.

Meanwhile, the other mage inched ever closer to the Lulla Fairy. 

With a firm order, he made the force of gravity around him denser, propelling himself downward with even greater speed.

Soren took note of Seraphine's quick comprehension of his strategy. Without uttering a word, their connection spoke volumes, and she sprung into action. 

Gracefully, she headed towards the clashing mages, leaving Soren alone in the exhilarating freefall, his gaze now fixed solely on the woman from the Zulivan Kingdom.

Soren's fingers curled into fists, and the powerful force of gravity rushed through them. His next move would be a testament to his mastery over this elemental power. 

He launched a punch that defied the eyes, its invisible presence shrouded in a density that could be felt rather than seen. 

The power rushed out and headed straight for the mage.

The woman could feel the impending attack and used the winds to her advantage, allowing her to move with ease. She danced through the air, evading the punch's trajectory with skillful finesse. 

Hmm, using wind, so that's why she was in the front the whole time, but you made a mistake here," Soren thought. 

That one moment was enough to make Soren draw closer to her. 

As their gravity-defying duel intensified, Soren took the chance to use his zero gravity method again.

The sudden shift caught the woman off guard, rendering her weightless and momentarily suspended in mid-air.

With the woman momentarily stunned, Soren seized his chance.

Like an arrow released from its bow, he left her behind and surged towards the Lulla Fairy which was closer to him. 

Soren's eyes were enhanced with mana, which made his senses and vision more sharp. He was able to pick up on every tiny movement of the Lulla Fairy. 

With unwavering focus, he propelled himself forward, gliding through the air with grace and precision, a master of his craft. The world around him seemed to blur as he zoned in on his elusive target, the Lulla Fairy. 

A broad grin appeared on the woman's face when she saw that Soren was just about to catch the fairy. 

In a swift and calculated move, the woman from the Theodora Kingdom wove intricate hand signs, conjuring a magical circle beneath her feet.

Almost simultaneously, a similar circle materialized beneath Soren, who was on the cusp of reaching the elusive Lulla Fairy. 

The magical circles gave off a golden glow, and in a flash of light, the two magicians switched places.

As if fate were pulling her along, the woman from the Theodora Kingdom ended up holding the precious Lulla Fairy. Her eyes sparkled with triumph and pride, knowing she had succeeded. 

In that very moment, the entire battlefield seemed to shift, and the surreal realm of magic and might faded away, replaced by the familiar surroundings of the Colosseum's stage.
