A Journey Worth Seeing

"I'm surprised you didn't want to take him down yourself.", Lyc looked at Ernest amusingly before diverting his attention to Angon.

Angon and Ernest remained silent as they caught up to the silhouette ahead of them. Ernest turned his head to Angon who responded with a nod and then proceeded to open his socket-less eyes expressing ill horror. Angon grasped hold of the javelin strapped onto his back and revealed its form.

 It was at least 7 meters long and had a white hue with many runic engravings visible on its surface. He lunged forward and threw the javelin with incredible force straight at the silhouette who then responded by quickly leaping upwards to evade but was rendered useless because the javelin continuously homed onto her.

Lyc followed up by unsheathing his sword with near imperceptible speeds enacting the Basic Kendo technique [Quick Draw] and launched an arc of destructive Nux that targeted the silhouette's blind spot in order to restrict her escape and force her to finally confront them. Ernest stood at the back and watched the encounter with a solemn gaze preparing to intervene when the chance presents itself.

The silhouette rotated their body in a very obscure manner allowing for the arc of Nux to intercept with the javelin then proceeding to backflip and land on the ground facing the trio. The silhouette squinted her eyes furrowing her eyebrows in frustration as she gazed at them.

"She's quite the beauty, isn't she?", Lyc laughed as he scanned her body from head-to-toe salivating from her curveous figure and full bosom accentuating her already seductive beauty.

Angon raised his hand outwards and the long javelin flew back into his palm. Ernest approached and stood in front of the duo.

"You know what we want.", Ernest immediately said with an aggressive tone.

"Honey, you don't get always get what you want.", she said with alluring smile which further emphasized her charming voice.

"I guess talk was never going to solve anything anyways.", he said.

"I'm curious, how sure are you that I have it?", she said with a sly smirk.

"You are quite stupid, aren't you? Why escape if you don't have it?", Ernest said.

The woman kept her charming smile and didn't react to the slightest to her provocation.

"Hand it over and maybe you might just survive."

She didn't react and suddenly Angon threw his Javelin just above her head hitting what seemed like a rune.

"She was trying to buy time. We have to end her quickly.", Angon reached out and the Javelin returned to his stride.

"What a shame. Such a beauty inviting herself to Hell.", Lyc said in regret as shook his head from side to side.

Angon spun his javelin and brought it upwards with the vertex of the blade pointing to her.

"Him", she opened up her left palm and a pink light began to congregate at its center revealing a moon blade shaded in the same hue with a multitude of illusory runes floating around it before embedding themselves in the blade. She held the handle which connected at the ends of the blade and immediately swung the blade horizontally which released a pinkish blade of light that flew to the trio at subsonic speeds.

"DODGE IT", Ernest said with a loud shout as the trio immediately jumped from the ground to dodge the pinkish light and what caused the trio to stop breathing momentarily was the pinkish light spun as it flew through the air eventually splitting the air and forming a vortex which sucked its surroundings just for a few seconds before vanishing all together. It seemed like an illusion to the trio but it indeed did happen.

"Next time I won't miss", she said with a seductive smirk but it was one filled with nefarious intent.

The trio had already landed and looked at her with solemn expressions because what they had seen was not normal

"What was that?", Ernest muttered under his breath as he tried to figure out what had happened.

"I don't know.", Lyc said.

"Her weapon seems to be an intricate part of her ability or even Law", Angon said as his socket less eyes seemed to deduce a fraction of her ability.

During their brief conversation a pinkish mist suddenly swept through the vicinity which made the trio blush ever so more.

"Let's end this shall we", she said as radiated her pink Nux and she suddenly faded away fusing with the mist.

"Shit, it's a Charming Law. It will bring out the hidden desires in one's heart.", Angon said out loud as his dropped to one knee trying to dissolve his desires.

Lyc was already caught in his desires envisioning himself surrounded by exquisite woman, infinite wealth and looking down upon the world with omnipotent power. In reality the woman approached Lyc still in her mist-like state.

Ernest was breathing loudly struggling to dissolve his desires. He kept himself awake but he knew he had to do something.

He slammed his hand on the ground and suddenly a green hue began to surround him. The earthy terrain began to shake and finally the team leader revealed his power.

He released a green flame that burned so subtly and it immediately doused the surroundings seemingly burning the mist.

"UGHHH!!!!!", the woman's painful screams echoed and the mist automatically faded.

She reappeared 50m away from them and there was clear fear on her face. She didn't know what happened but when the green flame fused with the mist a wisp of the flame grazed her soul which caused unimaginable pain leaving her in utter fear.

"F*cking Evergreen", she cursed out loud, a total change in her attitude. Her charming face was now filled with resentment and hatred.

Evergreen were a household that specialized in many unorthodox attacks. They focused on Law's that could attack the subconscious, the soul and even the Aspect. There is a reason why they are one of the 3 strongest Houses in Shea, because their power is just that scary. Even the strongest military force, the House of Dawnbreak would not attack them without a thorough plan and even then, they would suffer loses.

Lyc returned to reality but the blush on his face did not disappear and when he realized how easily he was caught by the woman's charm he was very angry and embarrassed.

"You… Bitch…", Lyc said holding onto his sword whilst Angon recomposed himself and stood on guard next to Ernest.

"Lyc. wait...", Ernest said but it fell onto deaf ears.

A crimson light spun around Lyc's sword humming as if to show its rage. He then swung his sword vertically releasing an arc of red energy that sought to split her body in half but she quickly swung her crescent blade releasing another pinkish blade of light causing both attacks to collide. What would've been a large explosion was replaced with completely overwhelming red luminescence that continued forward in her direction forcing her to leap sideways on instinct.

"What...?", she said with confusion clearly visible on her face. The red arc of light flew into the distance before an explosion occurred generating a wind pressure that made her sweat. She now just realized how much destructive power was in that attack right now.

"Next time… I won't miss.", Lyc said with a sadistic smile.

She looked at Lyc with disgust because he had just used her words against her.

Immediately after saying that Angon appeared beside her delivering a swift roundhouse kick which she blocked by raising her arm to but still sent her flying away. Angon immediately followed up by spinning his javelin pole over his head kicking up a windstorm uprooting every single thing in sight before swinging his javelin downwards launching a powerful wind typhoon equivocal to being hit by a 5-story building sending her flying once again. Her long cascading snow silver hair was torn asunder losing its initial luster and blood ran down her scalp and unto her sharp silver eyes. Scratches and marks painted her exterior and her long silverly dress was filled with holes and was torn in many different areas exposing a hint of her cleavage and curves.

"Maybe I won't have to kill you.", He said with a much calmer tone. His anger was replaced with an ever-increasing lust as he couldn't help but gaze at her cleavage and long legs.

"Don't forget the mission.", Ernest said as he walked closer to her.

"You are already counting your chickens before they have hatched, huh?", she said to the trio with a devilish smile as she stabilized her breathing subsequently all her injuries rapidly healed but her long silverly dress was already ruined beyond repair but that didn't halt her new momentum.

"Hmm", Ernest furrowed his brows and stopped just a few meters away from her because he noticed that the Aura she began to emit was different from before.

"This isn't OVER!!! Not by a long shot you bastards!", she said in a resentful voice as her pink Nux changed into a purplish hue. The amount Nux she began to emit grew even more.

"Eyes sharp, the real battle begins now.", Angon reckoned with a solemn gaze.
