Chapter 114 New power.
Sasha was sitting at her desk as she listened to the news around the world, and they were still talking about Mykel and the Rebirth Guild. She was occupied by her new skill and summonings one weapon and replaced it with another as she wished. She could change the weapon in the blink of an eye, and it would spawn right in her hand no matter what happened.
She had been checking each weapon and what was the ability that lay inside the weapon. She tried to memorize every single one of them and thought about which weapon she should use in any situation. It was like looking at having an automatic armory that she could spawn whenever she wanted.
"Breaking news, The Rebirth Guild had just cleared the portal in Brazil. Although Mykel Alester mentioned that he and his guild won't save the world, it appears he still has humanity inside him," The newscaster said. "Hang on a second, we got another piece of news," she said as she looked at the prompt behind the camera.
"A news just came in, and Mykel Alester with his team left after they cleared the portal, leaving the mess and demons behind. They don't care about the lives of the people there, and because of them, the demons started to make a move and destroy the cities in anger," The newscaster said.
Sasha glanced at the TV and saw the newscaster regretted what she had just said about Mykel. The newscaster and his co-host started to bad-mouth Mykel and his team, and they came back with the previous topic about what Mykel did in Norway. She then turned off the TV since it was boring and there wasn't anything new to hear or watch.
Sasha's phone rang so she put it on the desk, and she looked at the numbers on it. She then picked up the phone since it was Gea who made the phone call, and when she heard what it was all about, she opened a portal. She entered the portal with a mace in her hand.
"Where are they?" Sasha asked as soon as she came out of the portal and appeared right behind Gea who was still on the phone with her.
"Oh my God, you scared me, Miss Sasha..." Gea was startled and still wasn't getting used to Sasha's ability that could teleport wherever she wanted. "They're on their way here. I have called the others and they're all on their way here as well. What should we do?" Gea asked as she looked at the mace in Sasha's hand.
"I'll handle it," Sasha answered as she walked to the back where the portal was. "They have a reason to enter the portal. I want to know why they're doing it and for what," Sasha said as she stared at the portal.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Miss Sasha? There are innocent people around and I'm afraid that if they feel threatened, they will do some awful," Gea said with a worried expression as she looked around at the soldiers and the volunteers that helped around.
"Threatened? These guys don't even look at us as an enemy more so as a threat. They won't do anything like that, and I'll do something even if they did," Sasha answered with confidence.
Not long after Sasha arrived, Anzel and the others came in their sports cars. They were prepared to fight them since they were anxious about Elena and her team suddenly coming to Australia. Sasha then told them the same thing as she told Gea earlier, and they decided to protect the people there.
"Here they come," Danny said as he looked at the distance where six black SUVs drove toward the portal.
Sasha walked to the front and made the mace in her hand disappear, but then a gold long sword appeared in her hand. She then stabbed the sword on the concrete road and it smoothly pierced the ground like it was made of sand rather than concrete. It kept piercing the ground until she had to hold the handle so it wouldn't get deeper into the ground.
The SUVs stopped right in front of Sasha who was holding the sword, and the first one to come out of the car was Elena. She looked at Sasha and didn't show any reaction as to why Sasha was holding a sword. The others then came out of the car and they were standing behind Elena as Jeanne, Amaryllis, and Aurea stood right next to her.
"Before you say anything, I'll offer you two options," Sasha said as she looked at Elena. "I'll let you enter the portal and do whatever you want inside, but I have a request to have a one-on-one duel. Or, you can leave if you don't want that," Sasha pointed out.
Anzel and the others were dumbfounded when Sasha requested them to a duel. They expected that she would do that, but they never thought she would really do it.
"Sure, but I believe you don't want me as your opponent, right?" Elena asked as she crossed her arms and looked at Sasha.
"It will be a suicide if I choose you. I know my ability, and I'm not on your level yet. So I'll ask the others to fight me," Sasha said as she looked at Jeanne and the others behind Elena. "From the three of you, who's the strongest? Is it you, Jeanne?" Sasha asked and looked at Jeanne.
"Unfortunately, yes," Jeanne answered as she nodded her head.
Elena immediately walked to the side, and the others followed her since they didn't want to get hit. Everyone left the area as Anzel and the others went to the opposite side of the road. They were worried that the surrounding would be destroyed, the base and all the facilities that they built.
"I can't detect each one of them..." Anzel said in disbelief.
"Detect what?" Anastasia asked as she looked at Anzel's shocked expression.
"I tried to read their information, but it says that their information doesn't exist. I can't see their levels, not even their names!" Anzel answered as he kept trying to look at every one of them.
"That's not a surprise since they don't belong here, and they're not real people. Remember when I tried to heal Jeanne's wound on her palm? I couldn't heal her, and neither Aurea. It seems that our power won't work against them," Eun Soo explained as she looked at Jeanne.
"What? Then what's the point of having this power if we can't use it against them?" Luis asked and looked at Eun Soo with a confused look.
"That's why Sasha wants to try to fight against them. Now we know the reason she wanted to duel with Jeanne, she wants to know if the power could fight Jeanne," Anastasia answered with her arms crossed. "Also, don't forget that our mission is to stop Mykel, not them. Mykel is a real person like us, and that means our power will work against him," Anastasia added.
They all just noticed that, and finally understood what they had to do. Still, although their purpose was to fight Mykel, they had to deal with his team first.
"Shelly, can you create a barrier for us? I don't want to make a mess," Jeanne said as she looked at Shelly.
"Sure, no problem," Shelly created wind, water, and energy barriers around those two.
Sasha and the others looked at Shelly and were surprised that Shelly was brought to Earth by Mykel. She was an important character, and they all loved her since she was the strongest mage in the novel.
"Are we going to fight, or are we going to stare at each other?" Jeanne asked as she looked at Sasha.
"No, let's fight. I'm not going to hold back, and I hope you do the same," Sasha said as she pulled the sword from the ground.
"Of course," Jeanne answered.
When Jeanne was about to unsheathe her sword, she realized that using the Blood Sword was a bit too much. She noticed the sword that Sasha held contained a divine power, and it looked expensive that she didn't want to break it. She then looked at her old Empyrium Sword that she had been using for years.
"What are the rules?" Jeanne asked as she unsheathed the Empyrium Sword.
"No rules, I want to test my power and you don't have to worry. I'm not going to die here, but you have to be prepared to get hurt," Sasha answered as the sword in her hand disappeared.
Jeanne furrowed her eyebrows when she looked at Sasha not having a weapon in her hand. Suddenly she felt an ominous feeling around Sasha that came out of nowhere, and it kept getting worse and worse.
"Hold on! Isn't that your power, Danny?!" Anzel asked as he looked at Sasha who used [God's Strength Aura]. "Wait, that's your ring as well, Eun Soo!" Anzel said as he looked at the ring that appeared on Sasha's middle finger and electrocuted herself.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
They watched Sasha use so many different skills and powers that they didn't know what kind of effect they gave her. They then realized that Sasha was indeed stronger than them and not to mention that she possessed the same power and gift as them.
Sasha borrowed as much power as she could, and she started to feel the overwhelming power inside her body. It took a while and Jeanne was watching her the whole time and understood what she was trying to do.
"Are you ready now?" Jeanne asked.
"I'm ready," Sasha answered and summoned the gold long sword again.
"What's going on here?" Anzel was dumbfounded as he looked at Sasha.
