Physics The Greatest Magic

As the boy continued to stare at her in both confusion and amazement, he could feel a sharp pain slowly spreading through the area where he was punched. 

It felt like he was being burned by something. But as he looked to check on it, he couldn\'t see anything, he couldn\'t see it, but he could feel it. 

"I see..." He muttered as he stared at Serena 

Serena slowly pulled Richart towards the group while coating him in the same golden flame she had around her arm. 

"Those flames... So she can use the holy element..." He muttered as he disappeared 

He reappeared right behind them, to stop them from entering the group. When all of the sudden, he was hit by a strong pressure of golden flames from above. 

Right as it hit him, his body turn to mist as he disappeared and reappeared in front of her, to attack. 

But right when he did, an orb of pure golden flames hit him right in his chest causing him to go flying into the invisible dome around the group. 

As he was just about to touch it, he quickly disappeared before reappearing above Serena. 

But when that happened, countless golden fire arrows which were on stand-by in the air charged straight at him. 

"What!?" 

He quickly disappeared, dodging the arrows by a split second, before reappearing a moderate distance away from them. 

Seeing this, Serena simply looked at him as she said. 

"What\'s wrong? Scared?" 

How? Just how was Serena reading all his moves, it was almost as if she had planned them. As he tried to figure it out, he finally noticed. 

Countless threads and spells could be seen camouflaged in the air. Invisible to the naked eye but it could be sense if one focused hard enough. 

"That\'s right, no matter what you do it\'s no use. I\'ve already set up traps around the whole room." 

Serena stared straight at him as she said that, and he could tell that she wasn\'t bluffing. The reason why she was casting her spells insanely fast and the reason why she looked so confident. 

The moment he ignored her and didn\'t consider her a threat, he fell into her trap. Seeing this, he took in a deep breath before placing his palms on his face. 

"Haha... Hahaha, No use? Learn your place." 

A distortion appeared in the space in front of him before he pushed his arm straight into it. 

Serena watched as he pulled out a long pitch-black scythe with an unbelievably sharp edge. 

Even more dark magic power was flowing out of it. It was so dark that the air itself and the lights in the room were beginning to grow dimmer. 

Serena who saw this made sure to keep the flame coating active on Richart. He was still alive, although it was weak, he still had a pulse. 

The reason why he was motionless was probably due to a mental attack after he was placed into the dark sphere. 

As the boy began walking over towards Serena with the Scythe, she felt a chill go down her spine. 

There was something about that Scythe, something aside from the darkness. She could feel something in her telling her to be wary with it. 

Seeing this, Serena moved Richart into the group before turning back to find the young boy. 

He was nowhere to be seen, and everyone was too shocked and surprised to say anything. 

Suddenly, Serena took in a deep breath before letting it out. She closed her eyes and began to slowly walk away from the group. 

She didn\'t know what the boy was but it was fine. She had a feeling that she\'d be able to notice it. 

Serena felt something, and the instant she did, she sent a yellow flame orb which was formed over her hand straight at it. 

*Slash* 

The orb was cut in half, and so was a stand of Serena\'s hair, on top of that, it was as if the space right beside her had been scraped away. 

Confused, Serena tried to step away, but she couldn\'t move. She looked down at her legs to see what happened and noticed that the boy\'s shadow had latched on to her shadow. 

It felt as if she was paralysed, she couldn\'t move. And in that moment, he quickly swung his Scythe diagonally at her head. 

A bright light was released from Serena\'s legs as they were coated in glowing water. The water ended up causing his shadow to quickly move away from anywhere near her legs, and that was when she activated it. 

Golden butterflies quickly formed out of the thin air from around her before parrying and blocking the Scythe\'s attack. 

They were small but unexpectedly strong, passing through the scythe before heading straight for him. 

Seeing as he had no choice, he shadow-stepped away once more. But serena didn\'t want to waste this opportunity, the tides were now in her favour. 

"Sacred treasure art... Golden Butterfly." 

The butterflies began to spread out, each charging at him in their own pace. He would shadow step away but they would still follow him. 

He was starting to lose his patience; He was being forced to retreat from a mere kid. The instant that thought came up, he stopped moving. 

The butterflies didn\'t waste a single second as they charged at him while spacing out between each other. 

They were smart, it was if they had a mind of their own. Rather than being together making it easier to be scraped away, they were split up so that he wouldn\'t be able to get all of them. 

He raised his scythe and once again, Serena got that exact feeling of danger. 

"When was that last time, I was humiliated this badly? Much less by a kid...? Sacred Treasure Art: Devour." 

A dark glow came from his sacred treasure as he swung it down.. And in that instant, everything in the direction he had swung was scraped away.
