A Magical Tale: The Peerless Summoner

Chapter 8: Banishment

Banishment

Myra who had stood up rushed to Jake's front and uttered, "Great desolating bolts". Then the immense thundercloud in the sky suddenly unleashed massive bolts of lightning at the arrows and the archers. In just a few seconds, they had been completely destroyed.

Once Linda saw how Myra snuffed out her attacks, she put out a hand and a large pool of light appeared before her. Then it transformed into a massive halberd which she grabbed in her snow-white delicate-looking hand.

The halberd had a long handle and tremendously massive blades. Their edges glowed with purple light and radiated power that could sunder all, giants and gods alike. From the pressure it exuded, it caused the earth to crack and shatter in a ripple-like fashion.

The instant the halberd appeared, a gigantic being wearing a crown and cape and seated on a throne that rested on top of a pile of skulls appeared behind Linda. It wielded the same halberd that Linda wielded.

It illusory body turned corporeal, then it large eyes shone with awareness and intelligence. It looked at both Jake and Myra with a mocking gaze.

The halberd in her hand was the 'War-Halberd of Destruction', one of the many weapons of the Great Spirit of War. While the being that appeared behind her was the 'King of War'. Another version of the Great Spirit of War, but a puppet. It entire movement was controlled by Linda.

Seeing this spectacle, the glow in Myra's eyes intensified. Then she uttered 'God-killing heptabolt". The cloud in the sky rumbled like a primordial beast from the underworld and suddenly, eight massive bolts of magic-infused dark violet lightning discharged from the clouds towards Linda.

Surprisingly, the bolts that shot out had the form of swords and spanned tremendous sizes, they were thousands of metres wide and long.

Linda swung the halberd in her hand at the sword-shaped lightning bolts and the gigantic being that was as large as a mountain did the same. It smashed the halberd in it hand at the bolts.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion occurred and waves of devastating power erupted and spread into the distance. Due to the force the waves came with it, Linda was shoved into the far distance. Jake and Myra were also not spared. They were hurled into the distance at great speed by the waves.

They were both injured as they coughed out blood. Linda too coughed out blood. They had been mutually injured, but Linda's was more as she was directly below the point of impact. Many slashes could be seen on her body. She stood up. "Time to end this." She said and then she vanished from the spot where she was and appeared before Jake.

Before Jake could do anything, a restraining force came upon him and he was pulled towards her by the formless power that engulfed his figure.

She placed a hand on his head and the Calaendrian spirit in his body was sent back into the spirit world, into the Calaendrian realm. He became an ordinary mortal again and felt incredibly weak. "Do you think you ants could defeat me? I played with you guys for a while and to be sincere, I was greatly impressed. So, you are worthy to die by my hands but before I take your puny life, I have something to take from you." she said.

Then Jake's memory flowed into hers. She was searching for the method he used to summon that sword spirit. Then she found what was she was looking for.

Snap!

She crushed his neck and threw him away like a filthy rag. Then dark scarlet fire surfaced on her hand before a small, dark scarlet fireball shot out of it at the lifeless body of Jake. The small fireball detonated and the corpse caught on fire burning to ashes which blew away with the wind as it moved. She left them nothing to bury.

Myra saw this when she stood up from where she landed in and her anger rose to the skies. She used every power she had to call down the greatest attack.

"Ultimate Chaotic Blast!"

She shouted in fury. Then a bolt that spanned the entire thundercloud which stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers shot down at inconceivable speed.

Boom!!!

The entire kingdom shook terribly and the air became saturated with dust.

When the earth quaked, it tore deeply apart in many places and this deep tears extended to the ends of the kingdom swallowing up buildings and people. It was like dozens of giants had driven their huge swords deep into the earth and pulled it to the ends of the kingdom.

Linda was greatly injured by the bolt. Her great figure had been ruined by the bolt that struck her. Traumatizing pain racked her entire body. If not that she summoned the great spirit of war to act as shield for her at the last moment, she would have been totally destroyed. She was powerless to do anything at the moment.

Myra was ready to kill herself and Linda because of the death of her brother but the instant she called for that shot, her father who had long vanished as he had no say on the battlefield appeared before Myra and disappeared taking her away with him.

Linda then fell unconscious after many minutes of enduring the excruciating pain.

- Hall of Great Sisters -

In a large hall, a huge round table that had about forty women sitting around it were speaking to each other. They all wore the same attire which was a hooded purple cloak.

"What the hell did you go to do there? Weren't you told you shouldn't make contact with her?" a woman asked. "I just had to see how my sister was doing? If she's really special, why should she live her life like every mundane out there?" she asked.

"Our orders are no one should go near the girl but you broke the rules and acted on your own." another said. "So, I would be punished right?" she asked. "Alyssa, apologize to everyone." the oldest amongst them, who was the leader said.

"Alright. Am sorry everyone. And I promise not to meet her ever again" Alyssa said. "Good. As for your punishment, you shall go live with mortals for ten years and never use your powers." the oldest woman who was their leader called Olivia said.

Alyssa's eyes widened in shock. "That's not fair!" she shouted. Just before she could continue shouting, a force came over her and kept her mouth shut throughout the rest of the meeting.

"So what are we going to do about the Red Lotus Warrior society?" the leader, Olivia asked. "Master, the Red Lotus Society are moving with a momentum that seems unstoppable. They have swallowed up sixty societies and now, they have a lot of warriors with them. I don't know what their ambition is but from the way things are, I have a feeling that they want to swallow up the entire societies in the world and unify the entire world. We would have but one system of government. Nothing can be done about them, we can only hope they don't look in our direction." another said.

"Hmm. Their mistress, Lu Meixue is growing powerful every moment. She was once my friend but I hope she doesn't turn my enemy in her quest to rule over more territories" Olivia said. She paused for sometime before saying "What about the Blood religion brotherhood? Does anyone have report on them?" everyone shook their head. They continued to discuss about things that were happening around them and suggested steps that should be taken.
