Secret Society: Raising Calamity Class Disciples

Chapter 69! Let's gooooo!

**********

Xavier's whole body glinted gold as he flashed away from his spot, evading the tens of cuts coming at him.

Eulene did not stand idle. Qi was already coiling in her body with full strength, with a single step, she moved dozens of meters away.

After all, she had once fought a mighty Roc and understood its essence. If she was aware of the dangers and her Ai and body were prepared, she could move almost as fast as light for a short distance.

As she was already in high alert from these unknown waves, she could easily make that move.

[It even started to use advanced tactics] Xavier remarked.

Eulene nodded. [It had our guard down before doing such an all out attack]

[We can't sit still] Xavier turned to the mound of thick darkness that was not too far away from them, his black mask still blank. [Looks like it even gave up its ability to move to reinforce its authorities]

[If Doctor Hearts is the one behind the arrangement of these new authorities] Eulene added [I am sure it has enough confidence in its defence]

[Yes, and we can't even use our full strength] Xavier transmitted. [The probability of it redirecting one of our devastating attacks is low, but not zero]

Eulene remembered what she faced during that face off prior to intruding into this gallery. The huge burst of energy that wiped off her very existence.

'Death of a Star,' the name was still fresh in her mind.

Facing that attack was the last thing in her bucket list right now.

Xavier was not any different. During that face off, he had witnessed the sky split into two, the ocean cleaved in half, and a whole city fold. Not to mention, even he was divided into two with no chances of redemption.

'Everything is Two,' what an arrogant name, Xavier thought. But the move was deserving of that name.

Both Xavier and and Eulene were confident of finishing the entity with these moves.

But what if…

What if it used the last of its authority to redirect the attack? Everything would be over.

Hence, that plan was a no-go. They had to think of another way.

And there was only one way—the old fashioned way.

Xavier and Eulene looked at each other. They had the same thoughts in their mind. Eulene smirked behind her silver mask while the red smile returned to Xavier's mask—as bright as ever.

Snapped his fingers.

Tens of fiery arrows appeared beside him, each—more than a metre long with lightning coursing through their exterior.

Xavier waved his hand. The arrows shot at the condensed darkness with lightning speed. But expectedly, all the arrows disappeared as soon as they got too close to the darkness.

A second later, all those arrows appeared again, but heading towards Eulene. Eulene did not bat an eye. With the smile still on her face, she casually waved her free arm. A translucent wave shot out and met the fiery arrows—pulverising them.

She countered the Yang with Yin. Suddenly a giant Phoenix manifested behind her out of nowhere and let out a world shaking screech.

With one wave of its giant wings, it shot towards the cooped up Paranormal. But alas, it's fate was no different from all the other attacks.

The poor Phoenix was corrupted. It let out an evil screech as it reappeared right in front of Xavier. But Xavier was more than prepared. No sooner had the firebird reappeared than it turned into a statue of ice.

The attack continued. Xavier used fire, water, light, thunder, wind and even mixed attacks against the creature while Eulene did the same—using as many of the martial skills she had learned as possible.

Even though Xavier and Eulene were assaulting the being shielded in darkness, from the outside, it looked as if Xavier and Eulene were duking it out. It was as if two supernatural being were fighting midair while hundreds of light orbs illuminated the space, while a black mound remained like an obstacle at the centre.

But they did not mind this notion at all.

After a few minutes of the beginning of the assault, the duo began to treat the battle as one amongst themselves.

After all, it was their strategy from the beginning—to wear the monster out.

Every time the monster used its spatial authority, it was bound to deplete a bit of its energy.

A Paranormal might be able to defy the laws of physics, but it could not exceed its authority. For example, the Curse they were facing was capable of manipulating space. However, it did not mean that it could manipulate space however it wanted. It had to be in certain limits, because after all, its energy was not infinite.

Eulene increased the intensity of her attacks every minute. Her heart beat fast as the smile behind her mask became more and more crazed.

Xavier was not any different. The spells he used against the monster—against Eulene to be precise—were getting stronger and trickier every second.

"How much longer do we have to keep going?" Eulene shouted to Xavier. She did not bother to use transmissions at all.

"Don't tell me you are already getting exhausted?" Xavier responded with a mocking tone.

"Dream on!" Eulene voiced out. "But what if our plan doesn't work? What if it doesn't get tired at all?" Eulene 'revealed' their plan.

"So what?!" Xavier scoffed. "Even if a human is cursed and possessed, his lifespan can reach 120 to 130 years at most. And considering Doctor Hearts is over 30 years old, we just have to keep this up for a 100 years at most. Don't tell me you can't do that even after living for a millennium."

Eulene scoffed. But excitement welled in her heart. She just remembered one of the lines she had wanted to use. She needed to modify it a bit, but it would work.

"Tis' nothing but a moment!" She replied boldly.

Suddenly, they discovered something. The corruption on their stolen attacks began to waver. If they tried hard enough, they could regain control of their launched attacks.

Their plan worked. The whole conversation they just had, despite being mostly true, was a bluff.

The dark entity now had the intelligence of brilliant human being. This also meant another thing—that this creature also had the emotions, especially fear and worries, of a human.

Anyone would be scared shitless if they knew they were facing beings tens of times their age—especially if the beings were not supposed to live that long.

[By the way, what does millen- millennium mean?] Eulene asked.

But all she received for an answer was silence.

Soon, the Paranormal lost its authority to corrupt stolen attacks completely. Nevertheless, the tide of the battle had yet to shift since of their attacks ever reached their real target—the Paranormal.

However, the intensity of the moves used by the duo kept increasing.

A time came when Eulene became extremely serious. She raised her sword high in the sky. Sword intent escaped from every part of her being. It felt as if the entire area was being sliced into pieces.

Her eyes looked sharper than the sword.

She swung the sword down. Everything in her way—be it light orb's, Xavier's elemental attacks, or even the cluster of darkness that was in the centre—was sliced into two.

Xavier stopped in his tracks, calling back every one of his attacks. "What just happened?" He asked with intrigue as the smile on his mask flickered.

"I used Heaven's Cleave—a weaker version of 'Everything is Two. It can cut through body, soul, spirit, space, and time."

The red smile on his mask disappeared. Xavier smacked his own forehead. "Say what you just said again. But this time—slowly."

Eulene frowned. But she shrugged and decided to comply anyway. "It. Can. Cut. Through. Body. Soul. Spirit… Space…" Her eyes twitched.

"…"

"Oh."

"You darned idiot!" Xavier yelled. The red lights on his mask reappeared. But this time, the downward curved mouth and frowned red eyebrows expressed anger. "You should have used this when you… let's see… WHEN THE CURSE FIRST POSSESSED THE PSYCHIATRIST!"

"Shut up!" Eulene yelled in return, her eyes full of rage, and a bit of embarrassment. "You are the one who told me to experiment its authorities and not to use my strongest skills."

Xavier sighed. His mask turned black again. "Forget it." He composed himself. The glowing smile returned on his mask. "Let's finish this bastard first."

Eulene composed herself as well and turned to the now broken wall of darkness. Inside, the extremely tall, hunchback, and slender Doctor Hearts was slowly healing the gash that lo most divided him into two.

Xavier sat in the air, as if there were an invisible chair below him and crossed his legs. "I will let you have the honour of taking it out."

Eulene clicked her tongue. But her accelerating heart belied her expression.

It was a shame such an interesting opponent was going down. However, the fight she just had was fulfilling. Barring the three times when she faced against Xavier, this was the most exciting duel fight she had in decades, even though technically—this was also a battle against that bastard.

Eulene closed the distance between her and the injured monster. Sharp sword intent was still endlessly emanating from her.

Before the monster could completely heal its wound, Eulene was already in two meters of its range.

She raised her sword high in the air.

"It's about time you pay for your sins."

She struck down.
