"His mana is on a completely different level compared to any of the mages I have ever fought." Livit says as she feels the mana around.

"That is true that his mana is strong but it's also giving me a warm hope. It's making me feel much better and calm." Ashley says as they make it out of the forest. "Let's get you to a medic, Richard."

Just then Livit realises something is wrong, "Richard...Richard...RICHARD!!!!"

Behind the building,

"My friend? Don't be ridiculous! I never had any friends and never will. I never asked anyone to care for me. I am alright as I am." Ilora says to me.

"Why? Why did you join them?" I ask Ilora. "I joined them because I will be getting to kill you just like that." Ilora says pointing a blade made out of ice towards me.

"Kill me? Why would you want to do that?" I ask Ilora. "There is only one reason I have to kill someone and that is to have revenge...I have only lived up to this day to take revenge on the person who killed my mother." Ilora says.

Kill her mother? What does she mean by that? How am I related to any of this?

"You must be thinking that how you are related to this right?" Ilora asks me. "You are not but you will try to stop me and that is why I must kill you." Ilora says to me "Now you must be thinking that why would you stop me? The reason is quite simple, the person I want to kill is...Your mother Jill Marshal." The wind blows fast as I hear Ilora's words.

"I see...My mother killed your mother...That's what happened huh." I say as I look up in the sky as rain starts to pour down. "I can't let you kill her though, not until I hear an explanation from her about what is actually going on." I feel the raindrops on my face. "But if you want to kill her then I will have to stop you right now...Doesn't matter what it takes." I create a sword to fight Ilora.

"I guess one of us is going to die today." Ilora says as she takes the Dakai Zong posture with four shards of ice floating behind her and blades of ice in both her hands.

*Swish*

Both of us rush each other.

*Swoop*

I dodge Ilora's attack.

*Smack*

I punch her in her guts and send her flying towards the main building. Ilora breaks down the building. Ilora gets back up and wipes blood off of her lips.

"You can't win against me Ilora. I am not the same Henry Marshal you knew about back then. I have gotten much stronger since then." I say as I begin to move towards Ilora and throw away my sword. The sword might look cool and all but it's a dangerous weapon. I don't want to kill her. I must bring her back alive...

"You might have gotten stronger but I haven't been slacking off while you were away. I have gotten much stronger than you could have imagined." Ilora says to me.

"Magical awakening..." I walk inside the building as I see Ilora's blonde hair turn snow white and I see snow fall everywhere near her with a beautiful girl in front of me who leaves out cold smog.

"I see you have achieved magical awakening." I say to Ilora.

*Swish*

I see Ilora's magical awakening gives her unstoppable speed. She's trying to kill me with a single ice shard. I give a smile. "Hey chief, you can handle this right?" Just at the right moment I leave the control of my body and give it to the chief.

*Ting*

The chief breaks the ice shard that was going for my gut. "WHAT?!!!" Ilora looks at me. My immergence is completed. I can only use it for 10 seconds though. I have to finish this battle in 10 seconds or less.

*Crack*

The chief uses a clothesline and sends Ilora flying away.

*Swish*

The chief keeps up with the flying Ilora and axes my hands towards her guts grounding her.

*Smack*

"Guh!" Ilora spits out blood.

The chief picks up Ilora and then tries to hit her but... "Put her down would you?"

*Smack*

"Guh!" This is bad...My time's up and I am sent flying out of the building. I look in front of me and see Ilora coughing and Kim standing right over there.

"Damn...This is bad..." I say to myself as I get up all exhausted. Immergence takes a lot out of me. I should have taken the probability of Kim being here... "This is bad...Real bad..."
