GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



Ameglia waited patiently while the unknown person wandered clumsily through the forest. The noise the person is making lets her be aware of their location and their progress toward her. This person, whoever it is, doesn't bother to pass silently through the forest. They are always stepping haphazardly on the ground, slapping branches, cutting plants, breaking twigs, and generally being a buffoon. This little information she has about this person filled her with confidence. 

She said to herself, "Such an unskilled person can't be a threat to me".

She believes that she has nothing to fear about the person themselves. If the person is not a danger to her, then they might bring an opportunity that can help her or lead to her death. Something like this happened several times in the past. It is called a turning point. The only difference is that her bloodline is telling her that this turning point is very important. She can avoid it but she chose to wait.

The person came out into the clearing that she was in. She finally saw who it was and her narrowed eyes widened immediately. The person seemed shocked to see her too. Then the person leaped menacingly towards her.

"How is he my rival?" She asked herself in confusion.

That's what went through her mind as the blue-furred battle sage monkey attacked her. She has never seen this person before and yet, her Eternal Battle Bloodline is saying that he is her rival. Having a rival is not a small thing. Especially when her rival can turn into a lightning bolt. She surely has to remember when she made such a notable person her rival. Now she realized why this person is a turning point for her. There is a real possibility of death and she has to win or calamity will befall her.

She activated her battle armor. Brown phantom armor encased her and a sword appeared in her hand. The lightning bolt reached her before the armor formed fully. Then the lightning bolt materialized into the blue-furred battle sage monkey. A punch slammed into her face and knocked her off her feet. She was propelled into the air by the force of the punch. Their first interaction in this encounter has not gone in her favor.

She was made to levitate against her will in the air. But that wasn't the end of her ordeal. Her eyes widen in fear when her opponent materialized above her with a hammer made of lightning ready to smash her. It was the wild feral look in the eyes of her opponent that frightened her not the hammer. The hammer is a weapon but the person's eyes were full of glee, anticipation, excitement, and desperation. It is not the eyes that promise something good to her.

She raised her hand and a phantom shield formed on top of it. The hastily made barrier formed between her and her foe. The barrier is not strong or well made but it will have to do. Beggers can't be choosers. She is even lucky that her bloodline allows her to materialize her aura of victory into weapons. Or else, she would be defenseless and unable to resist in any way.

The resulting collision of the hammer against her shield didn't happen. Her opponent became a lightning bolt again and disappeared from her vision. She saw him appear beside her with her divine sense but is helpless to react this time. Her opponent had feinted with that attack and she had committed with a shield. She could do nothing to stop the hammer that smashed into her side.

The collision created an explosion with a loud thunderclap accompanied by a discharge of electricity. It didn't hurt her because of her amour. The feint had given her armor time to form around her body. Her armor protected her from blunt damage and the explosion. It prevented her side where the hammer hit her from evaporating but it couldn't stop the electric shock that stunned her as the lightning crept into her body.

Lightning is incredibly powerful. It is destructive and also has mind-numbing properties. People rarely experience the mind-numbing properties of lightning since they can't feel anything from their body parts that have been destroyed by lightning. As for those that succeed in protecting themselves from the destructive power of lightning, they have to deal with the intrusion of lightning energy and the shock that comes with it.

Her mind slowed down to a halt and made her vulnerable to what happened next. Her opponent began cycling around her taking turns hitting her and kicking her so that she will stay in the air.

She became a ball being tossed around and batted with a hammer. What saved her from damnation is her armor. It protected her from damage no matter how many hits she received. The armor is the second ability she awakened when she became a transcendent. Her first bloodline ability allowed her to sense the talent in someone and to lock on to them as a rival. She then steals their talent if she defeats them. 

Her second ability allows her to combine the talent she stole into an aura that she can use for a variety of things like armor. Talent is of no use if it doesn't grant the power to protect its owner. The armor protects her and can not be broken easily. It is a materialization of her victories and the confidence that she has in her bloodline. One will have to undermine these things if one wants to weaken her armor.  contemporary romance

Her opponent realized the futility of their actions and suddenly stopped attacking. She fell from the sky toward the ground. Fortunately, her sluggish mind recovered quickly enough so she was able to soften her landing. She rolled on the ground and shot up on her feet to stand. She can see what her opponent is doing so she knows that the battle isn't over yet. No, this fight is far from over. It is just getting started.
