Harry Potter And The Mad King Of Swords

Chapter 20 - The Soul to Absolute Protection

I decided I need a map.

Well, there's no point in getting a map if Mono's dead.

So I decided to make something else.

I got a small card of paper. In it, I wrote in my blood.

[Lit Ablaze Last And Once More]

Then more, but in my fantasy magic. Then I wrapped all of it all of my string to the card, connected it to one other thing, in a glow, the string in nothing, and the rest of blood vanished.

Leaving only the words.

[Lit Ablaze Last And Once More]

I'd succeeded.

Truly magnificent magic. Something I felt a strange pride in making. Well, the key to this spell wasn't ability or skill.

I gave the card to Mono.

"Hey Mono, here's a gift! It's a card. It means a lot to me, considering how hard and risky it is to make. If you are ever in mortal danger, rip it to pieces."

"Oh, uhh, thanks."

"Yeah, also.... I'mma check out if there are more zombies. So if you see like a horde of zombies on you, rip it up."

"Uh yeah. I do."

"Nice. Also, don't use the card unless in legitimate danger. I am not joking. Also, here take this."

I took out a bag. Inside was my dagger! Except it was magical and glowing, I also handed her the shield.

"This'll light things on fire. Which doesn't do much, but seems pretty cool haha. This is a zombie shield, doesn't repel zombies, it's just a shield I took it off a zombie. No.. bye! Be back in like a few days."

"Err, thanks, and see you too..."

Then I left with the sword.

Man, I should really start to know Mono better. I've lived in her house for like over half a year. It's pretty strange.

I stumbled upon a zombie and decapitated it. I also probably should made another fire dagger.

I'd have done it with the sword, but I could do it myself.

I cut down a tree and threw the corpse in there, then lit it on fire.

Luckily this certain tree was a certain distance away from all the other trees, or the forest would burned away, and I'd disappoint Smokey the Bear.

After it burned away, I kept moving on the road to that town.

I saw the unicorn. It looked at me.

As it saw me, it immediately saw my sword, and froze. So did I, just the hair of this thing is incredibly powerful, and I didn't wanna make any movements that would spook it.

"Unicorn, are you... Are you undead?"

"No...."

"Phew. Thought I was about to die."

Both of us relaxed.

"Oh, you're fine. That's wonderful human. Oh, right what's your name? Not a lot of people can normally find me."

"I have none. You wanna give me one?"

"Sephtis Aridam."

I smiled while thinking of my answer, "Hmm. No thanks."

"So what do I call you?"

"Whatever you wish."

"I will keep that in mind. Sephtis."

"So, what are you doing?"

"Ignoring the monsters. So, what'd you do with my hair?"

"I used it on magic."

"For what?"

"A little good luck charm."

"I see. Well, what are you gonna do now?

"Check out the village. See if they're fine."

"Good luck."

I kept walking, looking behind me, I saw the unicorn had vanished.

Then I looked in front and saw a horde of zombies.

I wondered for a few seconds. Deciding whether to just ignore the obstacle or not.

I chose not and attacked the crowd of zombies, which were currently coming for me. About six dozen.

———

Once I finished, I left the corpses. I'd burn them later.

I was a bit tired, but it didn't matter.

Somehow, I had not completely been covered in blood.

It was quite a bit darker than normal blood.

The temperature dropped for a few seconds. I turned around and saw a man in a white cloak. He looked pretty suspicious. How did they just teleport like that?

"You. You're wondering how I just appeared behind you."

Was he reading my mind?

"Yes."

"Who are you?"

"Tch, that sounded less like a question and more like a demand."

"You can decide what it is for yourself, but I'd like it if you answered."

"I am. Nobody."

I was tired of this. I've had countless people introduce themselves as this. So I decided to kick a head at him.

"You're a foolish soul aren't you?"

"I have...hmm.... absolute faith in my ability to fight you."

"Hahahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!"

He pointed his hand at me. A magic circle appeared and a blue beam came out. I fell over and it flew over me. I felt a change in the ground, so using my arms and legs, I pushed my body up into the air. Dodging the spikes that came out the ground. Falling back down, I grabbed two spikes, and pushed both feet against the side of spikes, avoiding my skewering.

He smirked and sent another beam at me. I propelled myself with the right side of my body, dodging it. Causing me to stand on my left hand and leg. I let go of the spikes, flipping over onto my back, falling back onto un spiked ground.

I yawned. Less because I was bored and more because I wanted to mess with the mage.

I catapulted myself onto my feet and turned around, back at the mage.

"Wanna see a magic trick? It's spatial magic! Watch this..."

I picked up my sword.

Then I spun it around by the hilt and suddenly I revealed, a second sword in my hand. Both awkwardly held. I quickly spun both one more time, grabbing at one with my other hand.

Once I stopped, I was now dual wielding swords. I pointed one at him with a smile. Doing a cool pose.

I looked into his eyes and then ran at him. Throwing one sword, which stopped in place, then throwing the second, which also stopped in place. They both then shattered.

But this didn't deter me, two swords came out of nowhere and appeared in my hands.

I jumped at struck at him with both swords, I felt I had hit something hard and then got thrown back by an invisible force.

"A barrier. I see. Well. I really don't."

I chucked another sword at him, but with a lot more power. This seemed to surprise him, as he flinched when the sword collided with his barrier.

I then pointed my remaining sword at him, before running towards the mage. I struck at his barrier, quite a few times, before I got hit by the invisible force. Which was probably just mana.

It also wiped the smile off my face, which he seemed to react happily to.

I immediately activated the spell I had cut into his barrier.

"Combust." I whispered.

It flared a little, then the spell died.

"Haha, you actually though I wouldn't notice you cut a whole sentence into my barrier? My barrier wouldn't just let scratches stay on it."

I sighed.

"Plan B instead I guess!"

I flared my mana. Creating an aura around me, before I put it all into my sword. Using the mana, I started writing a spell onto the sword. Which would take about thirty something seconds, which he would not give me the luxury of.

He saw this and immediately started attacking.

I decided I didn't need any spells added to my sword and gripped my sword, running at him.

I dodged just about all his attacks, then pierced at full strength, my sword bent, but it was fine. I sent my mana into on point, rushing it through my sword. The blade snapped in half and the rest crumbed as I pushed it in the barrier.

I felt a few hits on my body, but I ignored them. I decided the hilt would be enough to break through this barrier, and kept pushing.

The hilt slowly broke away. I used my other hand and pushed the hilt.

After this intense struggle, I broke through.

I pointed the hilt at him.

"See? I had absolutely no doubt I could fight you. Now, answer the god damn question."

He stared at the hilt in fear.
