SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!~

The energy that suddenly surged from Zephyr caused everything around him to immediately turn to dust.

The houses nearby, everything!

Fortunately, the residents had already begun evacuating after the blast, so none of them were caught up in the explosion of golden light. 

However, their properties… nearly everything in the town was eviscerated by Zephyr’s awakening.

“So you’re finally using it. That’s good!” Legris’ words did not reach Zephyr’s ears.

In fact, nothing did.

He wasn’t listening any longer. He simply wanted one thing, and he moved forward with that goal in his broken mind.

“I’ll kill you!”

~VWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!~

The golden light that surged from Zephyr began to ascend high into the heavens, parting the clouds instantly.

Then, it began to take form.

The energy became concrete, and it began to shroud Zephyr in its immense walls. Layer upon layer, it built itself according to his desires, climbing higher than the very clouds until it formed a towering entity of destruction.

A Golden Titan!

Made of pure energy, and adorned in projected armor, this construct of over a thousand meters appeared in the form of a humanoid warrior.

It resembled Zephyr in his armored state, except it was faceless and made of pure golden essence. The giant also had a sheathed blade strapped around its waist, and everything else about it screamed of power.

As this giant stood tall, Zephyr floated within it, at the head region, his gaze refusing to leave Legris, who was still on the ground.

“You are a monster with no purpose for existence. An entity like you should never be allowed to remain in this world.” Zephyr spoke, and more steam proceeded from within his lips.

“YOU MUST DIE!”

His golden eyes shone even brighter as several swords suddenly appeared in the air, all massive enough to collapse a building with the slightest touch.

~WHOOOOOOSSSHHHH!~

All the blades sliced through the air as they made their way to Legris, defying any speed conceivable by mere men.

Each projected edge found its mark, charging with unspeakable fervor as the debris in their path shattered even more debris.

However…

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!~

A single pulse from Legris caused every single blade to shatter. He then leaped to the sky, his entire body now shrouded in pitch black energy.

In the blink of an eye, he was staring at the face of the massive construct.

“I’ve fought a few Hosts of the Sagittarius Constellation, so I know your power of IMAGINATON. That doesn’t make it any less bothersome, though.” 

The moment Legris uttered those words, he condensed all the darkness that oozed from him into his palm, forming a tiny orb.

“First let’s get rid of that massive thing!”

More golden blades flew at him, but Legris easily destroyed them with his dark pulse before proceeding to release the dark orb toward Zephyr’s golden titan.

~WHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!~

The darkness instantly shrouded the massive warrior in no time, corrupting it with darkness before it could move to attack.

“And that’s how you—”

~WHOOOSH!~

Before Legris could complete his statement, though, Zephyr suddenly broke out of the dark sentinel, shattering it from the inside like glass.

“Wha—?!”

A powerful chain of gold swiftly wrapped itself around Legris, like a snake unwilling to let go of its prey.

He proceeded to use his darkness to consume the gold, but a instant spikes ascended from the ground up, impaling him from many places at once.

“Gah! You—!”

All of this culminated in a single moment when Zephyr closed the distance between him and Legris and launched a powerful golden fist on his face.

~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!~

The strike sent shockwaves dancing around, completely shattering the foundation of the entire town that had suffered more than enough damage already.

Legris was sent flying by the attack, but before he could get very far, the loose bit of the chain that had him bound was suddenly held by Zephyr, who dragged it back.

In the blink of an eye, Legris found himself rushing back to Zephyr, whose eyes shone brighter, and his floating hair was the epitome of bright gold.

A massive blade suddenly appeared in his grasp, and he swiftly sliced through Legris—chai and all.

“Guark!” All of this happened within a single moment, reaching speeds that were never touched before in the fight.

As Legris’ body bled, leaking out pure black liquid as blood, he found himself trapped in yet another contraption. 

A Golden IRON MAIDEN!

The coffin descended on Legris, shattering every bone in his body, before proceeding to open up its spiky doors and swallow him within its spiky walls.

Legris couldn’t even escape due to the several unbreakable chains that forcibly wrapped themselves around him, reeling him inside.

Once he was trapped within, cuffed in all sides, the Iron Maiden sharply shut its doors, using its several spikes and heavy gold to crush Legris in a coffin of unnumbered spears.

“Be crushed!” Zephyr pointed his clenched fist in the direction of the Maiden, squeezing it tighter than ever.

In response, the golden construct compressed itself, causing even more blood to spill from its insides, until it became nothing but a tiny sphere of hardened gold and condensed flesh.

It was a gruesome execution, fitting for the vile creature that experienced it.

Unless… 

“Haaa! That was a close one!” Legris suddenly appeared behind Zephyr his body stained with black blood, while being riddled with holes that seemed to be healing on their own.

Despite his narrow escape, Legris seemed perfectly cheerful.

Why?

Zephyr proceeded to send heavy rains of inescapable piercing light in his direction, but the elusive Legris found his way of escaping them.

However, even that was inconsequential.

He suddenly found a drop of golden water sitting on his shoulders.

“Oh, not agai—!”

The water instantly expanded to form a golden bubble filled to the brim with projected water.

Legris tried fighting the currents that seemed to exude such internal pressure that he felt he was being bombarded from every direction.

However, all of this was only the beginning!

~KKKRRRAAAAAA!!!~

Golden lightning descended from the heavens, everything coalescing on the massive bubble Legris was trapped within.

Screams could not echo from the golden sea, but the expression Legris made was enough to show how much he was in agony.

“BURN!” 

The golden sea suddenly rose in temperature and changed from mere boiling hot water… into molten magma.

Legris was no longer in a pressure-filled, electrified, and heated bubble of water.

No, this was much worse.

His skin began to peel off, and he found himself taking in pure electrocuting lava.

Such pain that no one should ever experience were being dished out to this man, and yet his screams could not be heard.

Zephyr drew closer to Legris, his blade raised above his head by both of his hands.

“This will end it all. Your end… is here.” 

His blade brimmed with power, brighter than any other golden display that had ever manifested thus far.

The energy trapped within it was more than enough to destroy the world, and yet he was focusing it on only one man.

This man.

“… DIE!”

The blade descended, and bright golden light was bound to consume everything.

BUT…

~WHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!~

… Instead, all that appeared was darkness.

Thanks for reading!

Looks like the power of another Constellation has been revealed.

Zephyr is so close!

Am I the only one rooting for him?
