A few moments ago, Grey, Eclat the little female elf and her mother were still in the forest after he had defeated the two level 5 beasts and he was seen on the floor panting hard in exhaustion as his whole mana had been completely depleted. Running forward, Eclat threw her arms around Grey hugging him with a smile on her face. "Thank you uncle demon, you were really awesome." Eclat said as she disengaged from the hug and smiled towards Grey. 'I would have gotten angry at her calling me a demon but now I don't care because she just reminds me of Jesse.' He thought as he slowly tried to rise up when a huge pressure descended upon them. The pressure was somewhat suffocating and sinister as their hearts all thumped loudly in fear by what they were feeling. Grey who was several metres away from the main battlefield felt the same pressure and aura and he knew what it was. "Mum! What is going on?" Eclat cried out as she was slightly finding it hard to breathe from the amount of heavy pressure. "I… I don't know." Her mother replied as she gripped her chest tightly. "The… the boss is finally making its move." Grey mumbled with his heart thumping louder and louder with each passing moment almost feeling like it wanted to jump out of his mouth. 'I wonder what Licht is doing right now?' he thought as he looked up at the sky. 'I need to escape… no! I need to get these two to safety and find a way to recover my mana just in case.' When he was done deciding, he grabbed Eclat by the hand while her mother was holding onto the other hand and in a flash, they began running back towards the town but they took another route so they would avoid any encounter of a beast. While running, Grey was constantly thinking and trying to come up with something in case things went south but nothing was coming to mind as everything depended on him having mana which he didn't. 'I was barely able to defeat two level 5 beasts on my own. In the course of doing that, my mana was depleted but here, that big bad is a level 8 beast. I don't even know if Licht can defeat it but I certainly can't. We need to get to safety as soon as possible. And I just hope the others have defeated those other level 5 beasts because I'm in no condition to fight.' Grey thought as he skillfully weaved through trees while still grabbing onto Eclat and her mother was just slightly behind. "Uncle demon, I'm getting tired already!" Eclat said and then Grey stopped and looked at her. 'Darn it! They will slow me down. Even without my mana or magic right now, I'm naturally fast due to my affinities with wind and lightning. Well I guess there's no other choice then.' he thought and then he let go of Eclat's hand while turning to the direction they were coming from. He took a step forward when his eyes suddenly widened in shock. Turning around, he swiftly grabbed Eclat and shouted towards her mother. "Get down now!" Without wasting time, she did just that as Grey turned around while holding onto Eclat shielding her as a huge air of shockwave hit him in the back hard. "Arghhhhh!" He shouted as the shockwave burned and hurt him causing his clothes to tear off leaving his body bare. In a few seconds, the shockwave settled down as all around them, the trees were bent while Grey was seen huffing and panting hard while letting Eclat go and her mother stood up slowly. "Curse Licht! Damn you Licht!" Grey shouted as he stood up weakly and looked Eclat all around to see if she was hurt. "I know that magic, his darn light magic was mixed in with that shockwave which hurt like hell… I'm really going to burn him alive when I see him." "But you need to be alive for that right? So run you doofus!" Noir shouted in Grey's head as he grabbed Eclat and held her like a baby while her mother stood up. "Can you keep up?!" Grey asked. "Please! I don't care about myself right now, all I want is for you to get Eclat back safely even if it means abandoning me." The female elf pleaded. "No! I'm not leaving anybody behind. Besides if I did, do you think little Eclat will ever forgive me? She would resent me and I can't bear to break her little innocent heart now can I?" He asked and he saw a wide smile on Eclat's face. "So c'mon, let's go before another round of shockwave hit us." Hearing that will Eclat in his hands, they began running again with full speed and in a few minutes, they could see the town coming into view and finally they stood in the centre of the town. Without wasting time, Grey jumped up towards the palace and landed in front of Elara with Eclat in his hands. "Human?" Elara said. "Just shut up and take this little elf. Take care of her and make sure nothing happens to her or else you will have me to contend with." Grey said. "I don't take orders from you!" Elara shouted but then looked at Eclat. "But I will take care of her." She said and then Eclat's mother jumped up too and landed in front of them. "Eclat!" "Mother!" Eclat said as she ran and gave her mother a hug while her mother turned towards Grey. "Thank you so much for helping and protecting us all the way. You are not as bad as we thought after all." She said with a smile and then Grey just scratched his head when he felt a little tug on his legs. "Thank you uncle de… uncle human!" Eclat said with a smile when Grey bent down and ruffled her hair. "Don't worry, you can call me whatever you want, it's fine." He said when a loud bang was heard again coming from the forest area. "That's dad, he has been fighting hard." Elara said when she turned towards Grey. "You! For my dad to put so much hope in you, you must be powerful, can you please go help him out?!" "Tch!" Grey scoffed. "I don't take orders from you. Besides I don't have any mana left and even if I did, going to battle against that beast alone even with Licht's help is suicide and I'm not ready to die yet without fulfilling my goals." "I can help with the mana problem." Grey heard a voice saying from behind him and then he could see lady Charla coming up along with old man Jankis who had blood spewing from his head with Langris slightly behind. "Oh really?! How can you help?" Grey asked. "Remember those trees you brought back to life as your punishment?" She asked. "Well they have another use." Charla said and then twirling her fingers around, a huge noise was heard and then bursting through the doors that led inside the palace, was a branch undoubtedly from a tree and without warning, it slammed into Grey's chest as his eyes widened in shock from it. 'Hold on! It's not harming me, instead I can feel my mana been restored and not only that, it is filling up at an incredible pace while doubling my mana capacity. This… how is this possible?!' Grey thought when all of a sudden, a shooting pain ran through his body as he fell down to the ground while breaking out into cold sweat. "This… this… I have felt this before." Grey mumbled as his whole body was drenched in sweat and then he began banging the ground hard while gritting his teeth as the branch stayed in place in his chest infusing his core with more mana. "Arghhhhhhhhh! This is painful!" He shouted at the top of his lungs that everybody there had to cover their ears. As it felt like Grey's body was been set on fire from the inside out. Like a water that is boiling repeatedly, that was how he felt. And then he began coughing out black liquids from all the pores in his body. His mouth, nose and even ears wasn't spared as the black liquid kept pouring out. "Mum! What is wrong with uncle Demon?" Eclat asked as she began crying seeing Grey in his current condition. "I… I have heard of this before." Old man Jankis said. "Humans always go through this excruciating pain when they are about to break into the next rank of power laid upon them. So I suppose that is the same thing happening to him right now." "So he is breaking through huh?!" Charla said when the cries and screams from Grey suddenly stopped as he was seen slowly standing up with his body covered in impurities. "This…" Grey said as he clenched his fist in and out while moving his hand in the air as he could feel the cold breeze moving around touching his skin. "I can feel things more clearly and I have broken through and become a 3 star mage!" "I feel more powerful!" He said as all his red hair began floating above his shoulder. "Now with that, can we go back Licht up?" Charla asked as she could feel the calm aura coming off of Grey and she finally confirmed that he was now stronger. 'With this amount of power and aura, he could defeat Langris no problem. The humans sure are crazy strong huh.' she thought when suddenly the whole place got windy with it surrounding Grey as his eyes was set in front while the people were being pushed back by the wind that they were about to fly off. "That is if you guys can keep up. I won't let that filthy beast kill Licht as it is me that is supposed to burn him to a crisp!" Grey declared and then he pushed off flying forward with a gust wind hitting the branch from the tree breaking it. "C'mon! Let's go too." Jankis said as he flew up using his wind magic while using it on Langris and Charla too and they were off heading towards where Licht was. Meanwhile Grey who was flying at immense speed couldn't believe how powerful he was feeling at the moment as he kept looking at his hands. 'I can feel that my spells and magic have all gotten stronger with me breaking into the next star. But I know this won't be enough to defeat that beast.' he thought as he sped up more and from above he could hear an explosion occur so he headed there when he saw a long whip with Licht at the end of it. And then in the blink of an eye, he could see Licht being slammed into the ground causing another round of shockwave that nearly threw Grey out of the air. And then opening up its jaws, an orange glow was seen coming from the back of its mouth. "Right! The beast along with its physical strength also has a magical attribute of fire." He said and then he saw the beast shooting out a dozen fireballs towards Licht who was unable to react in time. "Earth magic! Earth wall!" Grey mumbled still floating above and a wall was raised in front of Licht. 'So I can now cast Earth spells from above. Something I wasn't able to do earlier.' he thought as he quickly descended down as he looked at the beast in front of him. "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?" he smiled. _____________ {A/N} Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
