Chapter 329 Kid Against Reggie (Part 1)
Within a few moments, Ray's mother had gained the upper hand and had thoroughly beaten the enchantress black and blue. Her ever spreading charm seemed to have diminished while looking at her right now, she was nothing less than a being only left to be pitied. Even that would not be likely as Sirius was sure that Ray's mother wont let her get even that.
He had seen how dangerous Ray's mother was and that how resistant she was to charm and therefore, he was sure that she would deal with the enchantress in her own way. Also, it was not that the enchantress was weak but that she had the worst possible matchup she could have as not only did a huge portion of her abilities didn't work against the same sex but also that her attacks were suited more against close ranged combat in which she used a mix of her charm and illusions to fight. The enchantress was someone who loved to drag out battles and slowly turn the opponent into her thrall but alas, she failed and miserably at that.
After a few more minutes, the enchantress lay on the ground as she breathed heavily. Her wounds bled and regenerated only to bleed once more as a light elemental spirit constantly tortured her while Ray's mother sat on the ground with a calm expression on her face. Seeing that the coast was clear and that coming out wont cause him any harm, Sirius decided to reveal himself.
As he walked out of the shadows, he heard Ray's mother speak, "Don't say anything about this to Ray,"
"Okay," he nodded, knowing that those words were for him as he was the only witness to the whole fight that had occurred, "But i may ask of you don't mind. Why? Why do you want to hide your strength from your own blood. If you reveal your strength to him, wont it let you help him?" He asked in confusion, finding it very odd that Ray's mother was this strong and yet hid her strength form her own son.
"Child, i may not say much but hear this much that what i am doing is for his own good. It will only be later when he and you all would realize the reality and what your destinies are. So keep improving yourself, i will help you all as much as i could. Now lets go, the battle is still ongoing, we have a lot to deal with," With those words, Ray's mother stood up and took a cube out of her dimensional storage.
The cube was made of light and was hollow from within. She looked down at the enchantress and threw the cube in the air as it enlarged while midair and fell on the injured woman. The cube engulfed the woman as a white light shone in the whole place and within a couple of seconds, it returned to its usual size but this time, the enchantress was also within the cube.
Seeing all this fascinated Sirius but knowing that he won't get any answers, he simply swallowed and stayed silent. With that, he followed Ray's mother as they moved from one battlefield to another and captured the vital opponents while also ending a lot of battles.
During this time, Sirius noticed how Ray's mother kept the usage of her powers at a bare minimum. Only interfering when needed to and even then, she capped herself at the enemy's level and used her technique to detain the enemy.
"Her experience clearly shows that she is on par with many Celestial powerhouses but what us she doing here? And with how Ray had told me about his life before awakening his system, his mother used to be in the Magical Realm and had little to no fighting experience. How could she gain so much strength in this little period of time?" Needless to say, Sirius's thoughts were a mess as he tried to find clues about the sudden revelation but he couldn't find any.
Therefore, he did the only thing he could do and put the matter at the back of his mind and acted like nothing had happened and nor had he seen anything.
On the other hand,
While Ray's mother and Sirius travelled through the battlefields all around the place, Reggie and Kid were in the middle of a fight. The fire mage was seriously injured but he still had enough strength to take on Kid and not just that but the fire around him, albeit reducing in intensity and area; it healed him every second and by the time he stood in front of kid, the smaller wounds were healed and the bigger ones were also healing rapidly.
"Guess i will have to give it my all," Kid thought as his eyes turned light blue. A first appeared over his hands as it formed gauntlets that further spread up to his forearms and then up to his shoulders. His both hands were now fully covered in the frosty aura as Kid stomped his feet on the ground, prompting a small burst of frost to erupt from below as a glaive came out of that frost.
It was as peculiar as strange but his opponent wasn't asking any questions while Kid wasn't in the mood to reply. His body was slowly building up a large reserve of frost energy that caused some of his emotions to dull as only a few primary emotions were left. Of those emotions, anger and coldness went hand in hand as Kid felt no empathy for the man in front of him. Just an unbridled rage that would have kept eating him from inside out if Kid didn't kill his opponent.
Seeing the look in Kid's eyes, Reggie understood the assignment and got ready fro battle. The flames around him surged as they condensed in a short sword while the rest of the flames covered his body as they formed an armor to protect his vitals. Alas, fire wasn't the best when it came to protecting but this was all Reggie had. His previous fight against Nia and Tim hadn't been easy and had taken a toll on not only his body but also his equipment and whereas his body could recover, the same couldn't be said about his opponent.
"Keke…" Giggling ominously, Kid kicked the ground and lunged forward; the glaive held tightly by his hands as the glaive slashed forward, only to be met by a flaming spear. The sword and glaive clashed again and again as the elemental energies around them surged forward. One ice and the other fire as both elements tried to cancel out one another.
Reggie gritted his teeth and switched to one handed combat, leveraging his other hand as a curved dagger appeared in his other hand. Switching to a dual wielded style, he started exploiting his versatility against the restricted movement of the glaive and used the dagger to inflict wounds on Kid.
'Clanckk…Zzzz…Clanckk'
With the dagger engulfed in fire, every hit and slash made with it sizzled Kid's flash as the wounds o his body cauterized and then further burned while kid used his frost to keep himself cool and countered the effects of the fire.
However, Kid was still young and inexperience and even when matched against Reggie in terms of magical power, his physical strength wasn't as much as the muscular elf who was only older and more experienced than him but also awash with blood of multiple beings.
However, it wasn't enough to make Kid lose. There was a reason why Ray and Sirius trusted Kid and it wasn't just his potential but something Aurora first and Mag'ladroth later on had informed Ray about.
Apparently, Kid wasn't just talented but also someone very lucky. He had the blood of a Yeti coursing through his veins and not just any Yeti but the progenitor of the Yeti bloodline but that's wasn't all. It was the compatibility that Kid's body and psyche had with the Yeti bloodline and the consciousness that dwelled deep within the bloodline.
It was solely for this reason that Sirius had trusted the fight to Kid. He knew that if things went south, a legendary being would take care of Kid. It was a small gamble but Sirius had trust in his judgement and right now; as Kid started to get backed up in a corner, something started to awaken within him. The light of his eyes glowed brighter and brighter while a shadow started to rise behind him.
White skin, blue eyes and a hideous X shaped scar that ran through its face. An expression of pure anger and bloodlust as the shadow looked down at Reggie.
For a second, Reggie found himself too scared to even move while Kid took that opportunity to catch a breather and counter attack.
"What was that?" Reggie asked himself as the primal fear that coursed through his body made him look into his surroundings, tying to look out for the hidden enemy but he found none. It was just him and the teenager in front of him.
"Wait a minute, what is that shadow behind him?" Reggie thought as he looked at the Phantom of the Yeti standing tall over Kid's shoulder.
"Your death," The voice seemed like a guttural roar as Kid growled and attacked again but this time he was different.
