Chapter 335 [335] Lilith Cardaveres[2]
?
'What's her purpose?'
Arken thought. Morgana's sudden request for a duel was surprising.
'She can't just be here to gather data...that's not what she does...'
Arken couldn't pinpoint it. What was Morgana's purpose?
The Morgana he knew of was someone who did not care about these things...furthermore, if she wanted data on Alan she could just get it. Her position was that powerful. Thousands of demonic humans would do it if she just asked.
So what is the purpose of this visit of hers?
Considering Morgana's nature...it was his right to be suspicious.
Only after some while had passed, did he realize what the purpose was.
'...'
Ah.
'It's not to gather data on Alan.'
Arken thought when he saw the spirit that Lilith summoned. The intense energy of Death permeated the atmosphere as Arken finally knew Morgana's objective.
'It's to gather data on 'that'.'
*********
[Alan Peccator POV]
Although the request was quite sudden, Both I and Lilith got into our respective positions, and I kept a sharp eye on Morgana Cardeveres.
Maybe I was getting paranoid. But Master is here so she probably wouldn't try anything.
Master would end her if she did.
I got into my stance and thought.
'I wonder how a spirit master fights...'
When I thought about it...I realized I still had not taken the Spirit affinity test. Elijah, Sabrina, Elaine, Serena, and others had attempted it...while I still had not.
I guess I was just too busy that it slipped out of my mind.
'I guess Im gonna find out soon.'
I can't lie, I am quite excited because of this. I have never fought a Spirit Master.
"Now, Is everyone ready?"
Morgana's cheerful voice resounded. It still sounded weird to me for some reason.
"Yes."
Nevertheless, I was ready. I wielded the Ame-No-Sakahoko and planned to end this fight as quickly as possible. Although I wanted to enjoy the fight...I had some spatial equations left to solve. That is of utmost importance.
"Yes."
Lilith was also ready, She started a chant and summoned her spirit.
'Her affinities were blood, Chaos, and Death, Either spirit of all three is summoned or just one strong one.'
As soon as she completed her chant...An Aura of death mana permeated the atmosphere.
"Keke..."
A laugh escaped Morgana. I looked at the black portal on the ground and thought.
'Death huh...good.'
I have experience with handling the death element. The memories of my fight with Kazikato back on the island were still vivid.
Her spirit stepped out from the shadowy depths of that nightmarish black portal. I didn't recognize the monster but I knew it was powerful.

Description:
This monstrous aberration is born of darkness and malevolence, a creature that defies the natural order with its unnerving and otherworldly form.
Its body is a macabre amalgamation of skeletal remnants, assembled in a nightmarish jigsaw. Bones of various creatures - humans, beasts, and even unknown entities - interlock in a gruesome mosaic, fused by some unholy force into a twisted and haphazardly constructed form. These bones, tarnished and weathered by time, bear the marks of both their previous lives and the cruel crafting that brought them together. The Boneclaw's limbs are elongated and disjointed, with fingers and toes ending in gnarled and jagged claws, each one bearing a history of terror and anguish. Its spine arches in a contorted curve, resembling an arched bridge of suffering, while its elongated limbs give it a ghastly and unsettling grace as it moves through the darkness.
Draped over this skeletal framework is a tattered shroud of darkness, an inky veil that seems to devour light itself. The very fabric of this shroud ripples and undulates with every movement, as if it is a living entity in its own right, caressing and obscuring the ghastly visage beneath. Glowing eyes, like twin embers of crimson fire, burn through the darkness, providing the only glimpse of the malevolence that lurks within.
'I need to be wary of the shroud of darkness...'
I thought as I read the Description the Dragon Eyes provided me. I was unaware that my eyes were bleeding slightly.
"BEGIN!"
Morgana signaled for the match to begin.
"Go!"
Lilith yelled, signaling the bone claw to attack...And I was shocked by what it did next. it disappeared into a black depth and appeared right in front of me.
I dodged its long claws and teleported away myself, shocked.
'...Did that thing just teleport...?'
It wasn't just me, Even Master Arken was shocked. The only one who was laughing in this situation was Morgana.
"Hahahah! Master Arken it seems your disciple is lacking."
She taunted Master Arken.
"..."
Master Arken remained quiet. The Boneclaw let out a shriek and teleported toward me again.
It was surprising, yes, But it's not Like I can't do anything against it.
"Your not the only one who can open portals."
I said as I dodged it's next attack. I backed away and opened up a portal right infront of it's next attack. I was gonna close it when it's long bony arm went through and cut it open.
We were of similar ranks, I couldn't do this move with a majority of the enemies I faced because they were either so strong their mana interfered with my spatial mana or too weak for me to not even consider.
But then, My plan failed.
My portal was cut through, and in My shock the boneclaw attacked me with it's claws laced with the power of death.
Blood seeped out from my chest as Morgana's boisterous laughter echoed out. The mana of death rotted my flesh.
"It seems as if your disciple isn't wor-"
"Alan."
Master Arken interrupted Morgana and called out my name. I touched the wound on my chest and looked at the Boneclaw.
"Sorry."
I apologized to Master. The Boneclaw started to attack again.
And I trusted with my spear three times.
And left three holes the size of a human head in it's body.
Morgana and Lilith's jaw's dropped. And Master Arken smiled.
