Conqueror

I was blown away and I could feel that some of the flesh inside of me even though protected by my armor was burnt.

"Nimbus Clouds!" Grytua's spell casted a large area of clouds that formed above us. "Lightning Dome!" I was trapped inside of his own domain. "Keke. You can't escape here. I need to get that armor and that staff. You're a Death Reaper aren't you? You're pretty weak for being one. But your equipment... IT'S TOP NOTCH!"

Uwaa he's a freak about power. "Identify!"

[Nimbus Clouds, summons a giant cloud that randomly strikes lightning.]

[Lightning Dome, increases the damage of lightning or thunder based attacks as long as you're inside.]

These skills are insane. He's immune to lightning while he's in that form so spawning in water and making it a volatile conductor is just useless and will damage me in the process.

"Lightning Orb!" Two balls of lightning spawned in his hand that was a perfect fit. He threw it to me. I barely dodge it but the lightning was so unstable inside of this dome it managed to graze me even if I dodged it completely.

I can't dispel his spells since I have zero clues about it. Damn! "Fireball, Seismic Wave!" Two simultaneous casts.

"I knew it! Dual Casting. But you're naive! Dispel!" He managed to dispel fireball but not fast enough for the Seismic Wave.

Seismic Wave disrupts the enemy's balance.

"Rock Stalagmite!" A rock that was sharp pierced through his back when he slipped and raised him from the ground. "Chaos Flames!"

"I'm... I'm a demon! Such weak fires does not work! Demonic Transformation!" Wings grew from his back, his eyes lit up and flared a red light, his hands were slowly turning into claws, his back grew a tail and black tattoos formed in his body. But when he transformed, so did his book.

That book was too familiar. I only noticed it when the color changed that book was...

"That book... no.. NO! NO! YOU KILLED MY MASTER?!" I knew it well. That book was from my master. The true sage and the most powerful mage that I know. If the book transformed when he was a demon then does that mean... NO! I don't believe it! "ARGH!!!"

Grytua jumped and got out from the binds of the stalagmite that pierced his back. "This? This is from that old fart. Pretty damn strong in my human form but when I turned into demon he was nothing. He's a demon too but I can't imagine how weak he was."

"I'll rip you to shreds." I raised my left hand and casted a spell that he couldn't even hear. I used my right hand as a distraction for my other spell.

"Status Update." He casted on me. "You don't have any mana left and it's draining very quickly. Is that armor really draining that much?"

"Chaos Flames!"

"Naive! Dragon Lightning!"

The two elements clashed and resulted in a tie both exploding and cancelling each other out.

"Nimbus, Activate Rapid Fire Mode!" I didn't know what that meant but after he casted that, the cloud above us started spewing out lightning in random directions. I could barely dodge it. It was a lightning fast attack but I'm sure it drains mana from him too. I spent most of the time trying to dodge his nimbus attacks.

"Gravity Control, Retract!"

Grytua counterattacked by letting himself be pulled near me, "Thunder Strike!"

"I will not be falling for that trick again. Gravity Control, Freeform!" Using the freeform is a difficult move using only one hand. I can control gravity to whatever I want with the risk of it happening to me also.

I change his course of gravity by making his head shake making him groggy and lose his center of balance.

I managed to make it work.

He fell to the ground trying to regain his balance but I already readied my next spell.

"Orb of Fire!" I spawned in an orb of fire that continually fires fireballs. "Bursting Fireball!" Point blank range. The fireball who's weak on his own but when it splits into many, turns into a very damaging spell and I applied this buff on Orb of Fire. As expected the orb bursted out a fireball that continually exploded on Grytua's grounded body.

"Gravity Control, Repel!" He casted but I won't let him do that.

"Dispel!" I cancelled his spell and the orb of fire continued to blast his back.

He kicked the ground and jumped very high in the air.

"I forgot... Lightning Body... Damn it!" He vibrated his feet enough to act as a magnet and casted a different lightning spell on the ground. That means he put a positive energy on his foot and a negative or so called repel on the ground and it gave enough power to lift him off. "To use the power of lightning to that degree... You must've spent so much time learning everything about it. You've mastered it."

He then landed softly on the ground. "I'm tired of this. I'll show you my strongest skill." He clapped his hands again and showed an electric current on his hands. "Mjolnir..."

"WHAT?! A weapon of the god Thor. But... that's impossible! Water Dome!" I surrounded myself with water.

"MJOLNIR'S JUDGEMENT!" The lightning in his hands took a form of a giant hammer. Ten times bigger than him.

"Water Manipulation, Cellular Change!" I changed the cellular level of my water dome.

By waiting for a bit, the hammer illustrated by the lightning struck my dome and electrical currents were flying everywhere.

After a few moments, my water dome collapsed and the fog of the nimbus was left...

"HAHAHA! I did it... I killed a Death Reaper! I don't need this stupid book anymore. Now... let me see where that Corpse Defiler staff is..."

"You're a joke."

"!?" He was caught off guard by my voice. "How...?! HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!"

"I changed the properties of water to not be a conductor. That was your self created skill right? Thor's lightning would've passed through my dome easily since his powers are divine neglecting the laws of our world. You self proclaimed bastard! Using Thor's name like that... You deserve judgement!"

"DAMN YOU! LIGHTNING VORTEX!"

"Water Dome!" The lightning vortex skill hit my dome and protected me from damage. I then dispelled it. "Hey Grytua. Why do you think I'm raising my left all this time?"

"Huh..?"

"You really have no clue huh? You haven't hit me once after you nearly killed me with that Dragon Lightning. Look up."

"WHAT!?" His eyes widened at his view.

It was a giant eye looking down at us. While two of its hands were like ripping through space and only peeking with its eye.

"I have to thank you. Your Nimbus Clouds really helped cover my spell."

"You've been casting that spell all this time?! That's why when I checked your status your mana was draining so fast. DAMN YOU AND THAT DUAL CASTING SPELL!"

"THE SCORCHING FLAMES, RAY OF CHAOS!"

The eye opened his eyes wider and a beam of fire was reached through Grytua down to the very depths of the ground where we were standing on.

"No... everything I worked for... CURSE YOU ZETAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

He disintigrated into nothingness.

[Gazer Armor will be dispelled. No mana left.]

"Haa... haa... haa..." I was catching my breath. "Damn it... I used the scorching flames ray of chaos." I can't use it anymore. A one time scroll given to me by my master. Even though it's a scroll, I still needed a very long time to cast it.

I looked down and grabbed the book he was holding. "So it is master's." I couldn't held my tears back. It just started overflowing. "This mere apprentice of you master... has taken revenge... I'll pick your legacy back up master."
