⛩ Chapter 6: The Perfect Counter ⛩
⛩ The Ashes of Revenge ⛩
The Red Candle Clan once ruled the market with absolute authority. For generations, traders and sorcerers feared their power, and every battlefield eventually bowed before their dominance. But everything changed when the Green Candle Alliance united Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, and Special Grade traders to overthrow them.
The war shook the entire Land of LUNC. Battlefields burned, alliances shattered, and secrets that had remained hidden for generations were exposed. The Red Candle Clan was betrayed from within, their strategies leaked to their enemies, and their empire collapsed beneath the weight of countless attacks.
Only one survivor remained.
Malvros.
The final heir of the Red Candle Clan.
Now hunted by the Green Alliance, Malvros walks a path fueled by revenge. Meanwhile, the Green Clan Leader has dispatched elite sorcerers to eliminate him before that revenge becomes reality.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Ash drifted across the ruined battlefield as broken candles and shattered chart fragments covered the ground. The wind carried the smell of smoke through the wasteland while Luncius and Kira stood side by side, staring at the lone figure before them.
Malvros.
The last heir of the clan they had spent years hunting.
Neither side moved.
Neither side blinked.
For several seconds, the battlefield remained completely silent.
Then Malvros slowly raised his hand.
Dark shadows began spreading from beneath his feet, crawling across the ground like living creatures. His fingers twisted through a series of Shadowgraphy signs, and the darkness responded immediately.
The shadows expanded.
The battlefield darkened.
Then he formed the shape of a serpent.
"Liquidation Serpent."
SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH—
The shadows erupted.
A massive dragon-like snake burst from the darkness, its body stretching across the battlefield. Black scales covered its body while glowing red cracks ran through its skin like collapsing market candles. Its eyes burned with cursed energy as it towered over everyone present.
Kira's expression immediately changed.
That thing was enormous.
But Malvros wasn't finished.
His fingers shifted into another Shadowgraphy sign.
This time, he formed a spider.
"Volatility Spider."
CRAAAAACK!!
The earth shattered as another monster emerged from the darkness. A giant spider climbed from the shadows, its body constructed entirely from glowing chart lines and moving candles. Thousands of green and red patterns crawled across its body while its razor-sharp legs dug into the battlefield.
The pressure from both Shikigami alone was enough to make the ground tremble.
Malvros spread his arms and smirked.
"Now..."
The serpent lowered its head.
The spider clicked its massive legs.
"...all of you fall."
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Both Shikigami launched forward simultaneously.
The Liquidation Serpent moved first.
Its gigantic body slithered across the battlefield with terrifying speed, destroying everything in its path. Kira immediately activated her cursed technique and silver rivers of cursed energy exploded outward.
🌙 Lunar Liquidity.
Flowing currents wrapped around the battlefield, redirecting attacks while increasing movement speed for allies. The rivers twisted around Luncius' body and instantly boosted his mobility.
But the serpent wasn't affected.
It adapted.
The monster studied every current, every movement, and every weakness hidden within Kira's technique. Its cursed ability instantly identified flaws and exploited them.
The perfect counter.
Kira's eyes widened.
"No way..."
The serpent had already reached her.
Its giant jaws opened.Its enormous shadow cast at Kira face.
Rows of enormous fangs reflected in her eyes.
CHOOOOOOOMP!!
BANG!!
A silver blur shot across the battlefield.
Luncius.
Using Kira's flowing rivers, he accelerated like a bullet and slammed the shaft of his spear directly into the serpent's skull. The impact changed the monster's trajectory at the last possible second, causing its jaws to snap shut inches away from Kira's face.
The shockwave blasted dust into the air.
"Kira!"
"I'm okay!"
Before either of them could recover, a shadow appeared above.
The Volatility Spider.
THUUUUUD!!
Its massive legs crashed downward like spears from the heavens.
Luncius barely reacted in time.
He planted his spear horizontally and blocked the attack.
CRAAAAAAASH!!
The impact shattered the ground beneath him.
Rock fragments exploded in every direction as the force pushed him backward several meters. Deep trenches formed beneath his feet while the spider immediately launched another series of attacks.
STAB!
STAB!
STAB!
STAB!
Four razor-sharp legs attacked from different directions simultaneously.
Luncius spun his spear.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
Sparks erupted through the battlefield as every strike was barely deflected.
"Damn it..."
His expression darkened.
"They really are perfect counters."
Far away inside Green Alliance Headquarters, Vex Chartwalker sat surrounded by floating market projections. Thousands of possible futures moved before his eyes as his cursed technique continuously analyzed every possible outcome.
Then his eyes narrowed.
He found a path.
Through the communication talisman, his voice echoed across the battlefield.
"Luncius! Tail attack from the right in three seconds!"
The warning arrived just in time.
WHOOSH!!
The serpent's tail swept through the battlefield exactly as predicted.
Luncius ducked beneath it.
The attack missed by centimeters.
"Spider opening!"
"Rear leg!"
Kira reacted instantly.
A Lunar Liquidity current surged forward and slammed directly into the spider's exposed side.
BOOOOOOM!!
The giant creature staggered.
"NOW!"
Luncius disappeared.
His body became a blur.
"Spear Art: Market Breaker!"
THRAAAAAASH!!
His spear pierced one of the spider's legs and sent cracks racing across its chart-line armor. The giant Shikigami shrieked as it stumbled backward.
For the first time since the battle began—
Malvros stopped smiling.
The battle had finally become interesting.
Malvros watched the battlefield quietly as dust drifted through the air. The Liquidation Serpent recoiled while the Volatility Spider steadied itself on seven remaining legs. For the first time since the battle began, his opponents had managed to damage one of his Shikigami.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Interesting."
The shadows beneath him suddenly expanded.
BOOOOOOOM!!
Darkness erupted across the battlefield and swallowed the surrounding ruins. The serpent let out a deafening hiss while the spider screeched from above. Both Shikigami began radiating an even greater amount of cursed energy.
Kira immediately felt it.
Their pressure had changed.
Their speed had changed.
Everything had changed.
"Vex..." she whispered.
Inside headquarters, Vex's eyes widened as thousands of futures split before him. The number of possibilities multiplied faster than he could calculate.
"They're accelerating."
The communication talisman crackled.
"Luncius!"
"Three attacks incoming!"
"Above, left, then underground!"
The warning arrived barely in time.
THUD!!
The spider descended from above like a meteor. Luncius twisted sideways and narrowly avoided being crushed.
WHOOSH!!
The serpent immediately followed from the left. Its massive tail ripped through the air and obliterated everything in its path.
CRAAAAASH!!
The ground exploded beneath Luncius.
The third attack.
The serpent had tunneled underground.
Its giant jaws erupted directly beneath him.
The attacks flowed together perfectly.
One after another.
No gaps.
No hesitation.
No mercy.
Luncius barely escaped using Kira's Lunar Liquidity currents. His body shot across the battlefield like a silver bullet while the serpent's fangs snapped shut behind him.
CHOOOOM!!
The shockwave alone tore apart several ruined structures.
"They're coordinating!" Kira shouted.
"No," Vex answered.
His expression darkened.
"Malvros is coordinating them."
The realization sent chills through both fighters.
Malvros wasn't simply controlling two Shikigami.
He was controlling the battlefield itself.
The serpent attacked weaknesses.
The spider punished movement.
Together they forced opponents into impossible decisions.
Malvros had designed them specifically to counter Kira and Luncius.
The perfect hunt.
The perfect trap.
The perfect counter.
The Volatility Spider suddenly vanished.
Luncius' eyes widened.
"Vex?!"
For a brief moment there was silence.
Then Vex shouted.
"BEHIND YOU!"
Too late.
STAAAAAB!!
One of the spider's legs pierced through Luncius' shoulder and sent him crashing through several stone pillars. Blood sprayed across the battlefield as he rolled across the ground.
"LUNCIUS!"
Kira immediately redirected multiple Lunar currents toward him.
The rivers caught his body before he hit another structure.
The serpent instantly reacted.
Its eyes glowed.
Weakness detected.
BOOOOOOOM!!
The giant monster surged toward Kira.
The battlefield shook beneath its weight.
Kira's breathing became uneven.
Her cursed rivers expanded further and further as she desperately tried to create distance.
But the serpent continued finding weaknesses.
Every current.
Every opening.
Every flaw.
It simply adapted.
The giant jaws opened again.
Kira froze.
The shadow covered her entire body.
Then—
"Not happening."
Luncius appeared.
Blood ran down his arm.
His shoulder was badly injured.
Yet he still stood.
The serpent lunged.
Luncius lunged.
Both collided head-on.
BOOOOOOOOM!!
The shockwave shattered the battlefield.
Dust and debris erupted in every direction while the spear and serpent fought for dominance. Veins bulged across Luncius' arms as he forced the monster backward one step at a time.
The serpent hissed violently.
Luncius gritted his teeth.
Neither side yielded.
Then Vex suddenly stood up from his chair.
His eyes widened.
He had found something.
A path.
A single possibility among millions.
"Everyone listen!"
His voice echoed through the talisman.
"The spider isn't protecting Malvros."
"What?"
Kira blinked.
"The serpent isn't either."
Vex rapidly analyzed future after future.
His heart pounded.
There it was.
The opening.
The one opening.
"Malvros is controlling both Shikigami directly."
The battlefield became silent.
Even Luncius paused.
Vex's voice grew louder.
"If both Shikigami attack simultaneously..."
"...Malvros becomes vulnerable for less than one second."
Kira's eyes widened.
Luncius smiled.
One second.
That was enough.
The Green Alliance had finally found a weakness.
Across the battlefield, Malvros' smile slowly disappeared.
For the first time—
Someone had figured it out.
The shadows around him intensified.
The serpent roared.
The spider screeched.
The battlefield trembled.
Everyone understood what came next.
The next attack would decide everything.
Luncius planted his spear into the ground and wiped blood from his face. Kira stood beside him as silver rivers circled around both fighters. Through the communication talisman, Vex continued analyzing countless futures despite blood slowly running from his nose.
The three of them looked toward Malvros.
Malvros looked back.
No one moved.
The air itself felt frozen.
Then Luncius grinned.
"With Vex..."
Kira smiled.
"...we can win."
