Physics The Greatest Magic

"Nope, The process for using chant-less magic is too complicated." Azure replied 

"So you're saying you know a magician that can?" Serena asked 

"I know a few, although they keep their methods secret, I have seen them use chant-less magic." Azure continued 

"That's right, It's not something just anyone can do, but why the sudden question?" Ayda asked 

She remained seated next to the unconscious John and now healed Master Sylvia. 

Serena realised that their secret was now at risk due to her mistake and began to panic 

"Y-You were using fire and holy spells... The power which came from them didn't seem like the one on the level of an accessory." 

There are certain accessories which can carry or hold magic spells of an element, Like John's dimensional ring. Although they are expensive, it wouldn't be unusual for an S-Rank adventurer to have one 

Ayda gave Serena look of doubt unconvinced by her excuse, but decided to go along with it. 

"Ah, right. They weren't really spells, just magic attacks which came from this." Said Azure as he pointed at his scabbard 

"A magic sword? Isn't it impossible to make one with two elements?" 

"It's rare but not impossible" Replied Ayda 

"That's right, and besides, This isn't just an ordinary magic sword, it's a sacred treasure." Said Azure as he pulled it out 

He raised the sword to the air before it began to glow 

"The sacred sword: Lightbane." 

Serena was amazed, To be able to see 2 scared treasures in a single week was something she had never expected to happen to her 

"That explains it... But to be able to wield it, S-Rank adventurers are on a whole other level..." 

Sacred treasures aren't ordinary weapons. It's said that if a normal person were to try to use it, it'd become useless, only someone compatible with it can use it. 

For example, A person who went down the path of darkness would not be able to use a holy sword due to the lack of compatibility, just like a person who went down the path of light would not be able to use a dark sword. 

"You think...? I feel like John is the one on a whole other level." Said Azure as he turned to him 

"What makes you say that?" Ariel asked 

[Both you and John can't be considered humans at this point.] Serena thought to herself 

"To be able to fight back possession at his age... Not only that, but to be able to use four elements along with the dark element... I wouldn't have believed it until I met him. 

Hearing this, Serena and Ariel both felt their heart skip a beat 

[Huh...?] Serena asked 

[How did he know that John was an elementalist?] Ariel asked 

Suddenly, It happened. 

The feeling of darkness in the air, sinister enough to send Chills down their spines came from Ayda's direction. As they turned to see what it was, it was John, more precisely, the thing which had been possessing him. It had woken up again. 

He noticed that he couldn't move as if he was bounded by some sort of chains before he let out a laugh 

"Mere humans dare to chain me up...? I'll kill you... I'll kill you all..." 

John then tried to break apart the chain with pure force, but it didn't work, his arm wouldn't budge. He tried shadow stepping away but it also didn't work. 

"It's pointless, no matter what you do. You can't break these chains." Said Kayla as she walked up to him 

"I can't break these chains...? Really...?" He asked as he hung his head 

Once again, he started to laugh, not a simple laugh, but a creepy and sinister one which would send chills down any normal person's spine. But the parties which were there, weren't considered normal. 

Seeing this, Azure pulled out his sword and held on to it in front of him, while he entered a strange stance before he said 

"Kayla, Ayda, and the other lady, step back" 

Without a hint of hesitation, the three stepped away from John and in that instant, a hole opened on his back before darkness began to gush out of it. 

Everyone watched as the darkness began to take a shape of dark feathery wings as if they were that of a fallen angel. But the wings stopped halfway through the process and looked like more sinister and disturbing. Like that of a devil. 

At first the wings were being held back by the chain, but shortly after, they broke. Kayla tried adding even more chains but the moment they grabbed on to John, they would break as he applied force. 

The transformation was now nearing it's completion but it was still incomplete. 

Blood started to gush out of Both John's back and eyes as he fell on to his knees before shouting in pain. 

"Argh... AHHH!!" 

As Azure's party was about to move in to intervene thinking that it may have been too late, Azure gestured for them to wait. 

John still hadn't lost... But it was a risk, in the off chance that this form was completed, there'd be no turning back. 

"Wait... John's body is fighting it back... It's not over." Said Azure with a nervous expression 

--------------------------------- 

John opened his eyes once again, and this time, found himself in a bright white room. As he looked around, he noticed that there were still tears on his face due to the recent event. 

"Damn it... That dark spirit made me do another trial..." John muttered 

"So you realised?" A familiar voice asked 

John turned around with anticipation and there she was, the one who had saved him countless times and helped him in dire situations. 

It was the one and only, Zestari. Her face was still unviewable as it always had been 

"Yeah... Realised... But it felt so real... Honestly, I wasn't sure at first... When we reached the cross walk, I regained all my memories and thought that I had returned to the past... But it was too good to be true." 

[So I realised that the only way to come back was to get run over... I just didn't expect Elena to...] 

"You did well to realise... Had you not made your decision; you would have been stuck in that fake world, doing exactly what It would have wanted...."
