"ROARRRRR!" The beast roared and then, like the speed of light to the extent he broke the sound barrier, Licht was seen speeding towards the Echidas while it also dashed forward towards him. In a flash, Licht and the beast clashed in the center. Licht swung his light sword, but the beast countered with its powerful paw. The impact sent a shockwave rippling through the forest, bending trees as Licht was forced back slightly. "Guess my magic is strong enough for your strength but I'm not strong enough physically!" Licht said as he saw the beast dashing towards him at immense speed and before he could get to him, a luminous spear from above appeared and was about to hit the beast but as if sensing it, it jumped away just in time but the spear gave chase. So the beast did the only thing it could do as it pushed forward breaking the ground beneath its feet while heading towards the spear and by swinging out its small long tail that was as long as that of a lion of the old, it broke the luminous spear and causing the pieces to fall like a bright star of some kind. "I'm not done yet!" Licht said as a dozen light swords and spears appeared in front of him and swinging his hand, they were sent towards the beast who weaved and dodged avoiding every single one but they kept on chasing it so it spun around a few times and in a flash, it went from swords to spears breaking it apart easily. 'That means it is a match for my magic. Only the swords or light weapons in my hands are strong enough to withstand its strength because I'm reinforcing it with mana while the ones that have been sent flying, would be broken.' Licht thought and a light sword appeared in each of his hands. "I guess we have to bring the fight up close then!" He shouted as he pushed off towards the beast breaking the ground for miles away while the burst of air that appeared from his speed, bent the trees more almost breaking them as part of the air even hit Charla who was a few feet away. 'I forgot how powerful and fast Licht is. He is exceptionally fast because of his attribute to light magic which can help reinforce his speed. Since he is holding his ground, I need to check up on Jankis and Langris.' Charla thought as she moved forward to shake Langris and immediately her hands touched him, he shouted. "Please don't kill me! I'm too young." He cried out when Charla kept shaking him and he kept on shouting. Having enough, Charla swung her hand across his face. "Will you shut the f*ck up and quit acting like a baby?" She said and then Langris quietened while opening his eyes to see his mum in front of him. "How pathetic can you be? And you want to take the throne after Licht? Look!" She said pointing at Licht having a go at the beast. "If you want to be half the man he is, you need to get stronger and be brave. You want to catch up to him?" She asked and Langris nodded. "Good! Then you have to pick yourself up and set an example to people showing them that you are up for the task." Hearing that Langris stood up while wiping the tears on his face up. "Beside, if Licht behaved like you just did, he wouldn't be this strong. Besides, what kind of side do you want to show to your siblings? That you are a weakling and a coward?" Charla asked and Langris clenched his hand with his teeth grit. "I won't be a weakling and I will surpass dad no matter what!" Langris declared. "Good boy! So pick yourself up and let's check up on old man Jankis." Charla said as she walked forward. 'She is right! I can't keep behaving like a weakling in face of danger and need to be brave. I can't let the people or my siblings see me like this especially that weakling Elara!' Langris shouted in his head as he dashed forward to check up on Jankis. Meanwhile, after creating the two light swords, Licht dashed forward and in a split second, he was in front of the beast as he swung one of the sword from the side but the beast jumped back trying to avoid it when he swung another one from the other side and the beast hit it back causing a shockwave to spread out.

But Licht didn't relent as he along with the beast began moving like a blur trying to find an opening in order to bring their opponent down. The more they moved and struck each other, more hot air, shockwave, broken ground and uprooted trees appeared as they were moving all around the forest and had even left the elven town. Jumping up, Licht sent a huge light sword towards the beast who jumped back in time avoiding it and letting the sword crash into the ground uprooting more trees. "I'm not done yet!" Licht shouted as in his hand, a long luminous whip appeared and it was moving around in his hand like a snake as the whip was 20 metres long and swinging it out, it curled and swirled around trying to hit the beast as more trees, and ground was broken while the beast continued avoiding each and every one of the swing. The way the whip moved, every swing destroyed about six trees while curling and moving around like a snake trying to hit the beast but it was quick on its feet and when it landed in a particular spot, Licht smiled. "Gotcha!" He said as a bright light surrounded the beast and a huge explosion erupted. "I know that won't be enough to kill you!" He shouted as he swung the whip again towards where the explosion had occurred but then it felt stuck as he was unable to move the whip again. Then the smoke from the explosion settled down and the beast could be seen holding onto the tip of the whip with a weird smirk on its face as its eyes glowed again and its fangs were on full display. Dragging the whip, Licht was thrown out of the air and he crashed into the ground hard breaking the ground. The impact sent pain shooting through his body, dust filling his lungs as debris rained down around him. That didn't deter him as he was seen standing up with a slight blood trickling down his face when he saw the beast open up its jaws and an orange glow was seen coming out. "What?! Does it have an ability?!" Licht exclaimed in surprise and before he could react, about a dozen fireballs were shot towards him at immense speed. "Shit! I can't avoid it in time!" He said when he heard a voice coming from his side. "Yikes! I was trying to run away earlier from you but who knew that I would end up facing the beast I was trying to escape from here?" The voice said and then right in front of Licht, an Earth wall was raised blocking the fireballs.
