Elios was a genius.
An intellectual and conceptual genius, whose main strengths were analysis and interpretation. He loved spells of all kinds, and was an avid researcher of all forms of magic. Despite not being able to use any spells, he always tried finding new magic and their effects. And perhaps, the fact that he could not use them, made him crave those magics even more.
"Attack him!"
"[Dark Arrows]!"
"[Dark Ball]"
"[Mist Fra]"
A barrage of non-stop attacks at the place where he was standing. For the next few seconds, all the mages attacked that place without sparing even a single mont. And after a continuous play of one sided slaughter, all the mages paused one by one. The dust created slowly settled down, showing an empty spot where the boy should have been.
"..."
All the mages looked at the empty area, before the one on the far right asked,
"Did we get him?"
"I don't know."(Noah)
"Huh-Kyak!"
[You have killed a Novice Dark Mage!]
[ 100 Exp received!]
"What? How did he survive?!" One of the older mages asked, surprised and shocked, his eyes barely able to understand what he was witnessing. Though the horror crept in the next second as he saw the boy vanished once again.
"Where is-Kich!!!"
"Take a step back! Don't let him get close to you!"
"How? We can't see him!"
"Is he using so form of stealth magic?"
"I will cast a reveal-kyak!"
The mages died at random as Noah began his hunt once again. The bone in his hand was broken, and now he held a broken staff that he took from one of the dark mages during the confusion.
-Whoosh!
All the mages were confused, and looking at the death of their comrades, they all beca terrified of this kid... no... this monster.
"YOU FUCKING MONSTER!"
One of the mages beca furious as he started throwing his magic all around him, hitting both foes and allies alike.
"This idiot! Sobody stop- Kyak!"
And within the confusion, the one who was most shocked was none other than the blonde Nun, Sister Zehra. She clearly knew the capabilities of Elios, his powers and his weaknesses. There was no way he could have done all this.
So the question was simple. Was he hiding his power? Or was it soone else who has taken over Noah's body?
Her eyes tried tracing that kid, but sohow he was nowhere visible. It didn't seem to be magic, but sothing else. As if her own eyes were trying to avoid him...
"A curse, huh?" She mumbled as she believed that she had read of a type of curse that allowed one to decrease their presence at an abnormal rate. It seed absurd, but the situation couldn't be explained otherwise.
And since it was a curse...
"[Dispel!]"(Sister Zehra)
She chanted a wide area spell, creating a bright light that would cure all the curses. Even though she wasn't a strong light ability user, with the artifacts and the staff she had, she could easily remove a curse of this level.
And as she wanted, the appearance of Elios beca clear as the kid finally beca visible to her eyes. But compared to the kind-natured kid, he seed to be a child of the devil himself. Blood spurted all over his clothes and face making it difficult to make out his face.
[Sister Zehra... she is really a Demonic follower, huh? That's... sad...](Elios)
"Who are you?" (Zehra)
"It makes sad. The fact that you can't even recognize , sister." (Noah)
"Stop with your nonsense. I know you are not Elios. There is no way that child can do all this. He can't even hurt a butterfly, let alone killing all these n. So, you bastard... who are you?"(Zehra)
Zehra tried her best to analyze Elios, but she couldn't find any difference except for the change of nature that he was showing right now. Things were strange, and she knew that she couldn't defeat him alone. But since the other dark mages would be coming anyti now, she only needs to buy ti for now.
Even if the dark mages fail to do sothing, the hellhounds they were bringing with them have sharper noses. Those hounds should be able to sniff him out in case he escaped from their sight again.
[...](Elios)
Elios was silent, as he looked at Sister Zehra. He had mixed feelings regarding the situation. On one side she was one of the few people that always supported her, and on the other side she was simply a dark mage who wanted to use her for her own gain.
It wasn't a pleasant feeling at all. But then again, sohow, in the end, it was how it was supposed to be.
[Noah. I will help you out again. But... Can you do a favour?](Elios)
While Noah wanted to hurry and kill everyone, seeing the ssage, he paused for a bit. And then as more ssages ca forward, he smiled a bit before looking at sister Zehra.
"Kind, huh?" Noah spoke in a sarcastic tone before he tightened his grip on the broken staff. And then as soon as another ssage appeared on his screen...
[Self-Curse: Scarlet Fever!

-Whoosh!
A single second and Noah reached the closest Dark Mage.
"At the rcy of the holy Goddess of Light..." (Noah)
-Kichh!!!

[You have killed a Novice Dark Mage!]
A smile crept on Noah's face, one that made all the dark Mages and Sister Zehra take a step back. And looking at the evil smile they were witnessing in front of them... they knew... they fucked up.
