CURSE BOUND

Chapter 20: DYNAMIC DUO



"I believe we are lost, once again" Mathew says in annoyance

"Im trying sorry" Lelovia says as she looks down

"Its fine, but we have to step it up if we plan on placing" Mathew says sternly

"Right" Lelovia says as she continues walking followed by Mathew

"Knowing that she's Misera's apprentise I thought she would have been more intuned with direction, on another note I wonder if Benjamin made it" Mathew thinks as he realizes Lelovia has stopped

"Whats the problem ?" Mathew says in confusion

"We made it" says Lelovia

"Oh wow" says Mathew in awe at the elder root's brilliance

There approach towards the elder root is halted by some other students

"Stop right there" says one of the students as he unsheathes his sword

"Think of this as thinning the herd" say the other

"This isn't good i've seen these two before, they are Maximus and Valtak, they are the dynamic duo of Oralia, they got the name from past tournaments they participated in as juniors" Mathew thinks as Lelovia points her staff at Maximus

"Move" Lelovia says seriously as she flings rocks at them using earth magic

"This'll be interesting" maximus says before he collided with the rocks bare handed

Valtak quickly rushes towards Benjamin during the fuss to deliver a strong right to Mathew's torso but it is blocked in time

"Your physique is quite disappointing " says Valtak as he pulls out a dagger

"This isnt going to be easy, but its time for me to test my skill" Mathew thinks as he pulls out his sword

"Gragh" Shouts Valtak before dashing towards Mathew and striking multiple times

They clash as sparks fly through the air and the sound of metal on metal reverberating through the area

"Oh, you exude quite the strenght for your lackluster physique" Valtak says as he grabs Mathew's wrists and kicks him in the stomach, Mathew falls to the ground in pain before quickly grabbing his sword and slashing upwards at valtaks chin

"Not bad !" Shouts Valtak as he rushes at Mathew

"Is this all the apprentice of miseria can do" Says Maximus as he laughs

"Excite me !" Says Maximus

"I simply didn't see the need to exert myself against you" Lelovia says coldly

"Is that's so" Maximus says

"Pull" lelovia chants as Maximus is flung towards Lelovia and straight into a tangle of vines that where previously set by Lelovia during the fight

"Tenera, but I'm not too good at it" Lelovia says as she points her staff at his chest

"And this is supposed to impress me ?" Maximus says as he rolls his eyes

"Push" lelovia chants as Maximus is ripped from the vines and sent barreling into a tree

"Lower god of stone Raksovak, tower over those unjust and those who oppose your rule, Rock Tomb"

A large stone tomb is formed around Maximus, he tries to avoid the entraping but is unsuccessful

"Are you entertained " Lelovia says snarkily

"Only slightly" Maximus says as he attempts to break the tomb

"It's futile, magic of this caliber cannot be broken by the likes of you" Lelovia says as she pushes the tomb over

"Firstly, I chanted the name of a lower god which enriched the gathering of mana and thus strengthening the spell, secondly the amount of words within the chant excluding the name of the spell itself was ten, something that is quite uncommon for a simple binding spell, don't worry it will deteriorate in about five or so hours which is more than enough time"

Lelovia says as she giggles in triumph

"Was that all, did the amalgamation of all your vigor and pride only amount to a simple cut on my chin " Valtak says as Mathew stands infront of him blooded from hundreds of cuts

"No, I've never exactly been the type to fight one on one with nothing but martial prowess and vigor" says Mathew with a smirk

"But even so, I feel as if fists suit me more" Mathew says as he drops his sword

"Have you lost you're mind" valtak says as he readies for an attack

"Emerge and rejoice, wisp" Mathew chants as small orb of mana floats beside him

"Now I will show you my interpretation of hybrid combat" Mathew says as he curls his fists and lowers his stance

"I must says I am intrigued" Valtak says as he rushes at Mathew
