The spear dug deeper into the demon and the elder\'s grin became wider even though her eyes had an unusual glint in them. She started to laugh loudly when she saw that blood was spilling from the wound she created. The elder planned to inflict more damage but she suddenly felt that the spear she was holding became lighter.

The handle of the spear was pulled and what remained was a melted end. The sharp end was gone but she didn\'t care. She threw the spear\'s handle and observed the blood that was spilled from the wound. It was black and gooey like a gum and as it fell on one of the roofs of a building, the roof was melted.

It turned out that the demon\'s blood became like an acid that melts anything it touched. The elder jumped down from her staff and floated in the air. She held the staff in her hand and pressed a button on the staff\'s side which pushed out a sharp end on the staff, now it became a spear. She twirled the spear in her hand and at the last spin she held the spear with its end pointing at the sky.

"Oh, I like that weapon," the master\'s eyes were on the spear that the elder was holding.

He could already tell that the weapon was of a higher tier than the first spear he had summoned. It was interesting to see a weapon that was mythical in rank. He turned around and gave his butler a nod.

"I would like to add that weapon in my collection so be sure to collect it later," Cygnus smiled. He was pleased to see something worth adding to his collection.

The elder did not hesitate to confront the demon and together with her spear, she also summoned a varying kind of weapon that floated around her. Using her mana, she pushed herself forward with her spear ready to pierce the demon once again. It was a splendid sight to behold from a spectator\'s view but when one was to confront those arrays of weapons, they would be dead.

The demon raised her hand and a dark wall appeared before her. The wall blocked the initial attack but the elder wasn\'t fazed by it. She attacked again and let the weapons under her control hit the wall until it broke down. The demon created several walls but it was easily broken by the elder.

After the last wall was broken, the elder was welcomed with a barrage of swirling dark mana. Simultaneous explosion occurred which hid the elder from sight. The demon watched as the unceasing explosion continued without any signs of stopping.

A spear flew out from behind the smoke followed by a woman\'s silhouette. The elder managed to escape the attack with only minor injuries and the cloak she was wearing getting damaged. Even the tips of her red hair were singed and turned black.

"That nearly got me," the elder laughed. She was laughing because she hadn\'t faced any opponents such as the one in front of her right now.

She felt for her stock of weapons and felt that she only had a few remaining and yet the demon was still standing. Even though the demon was bleeding, she didn\'t mind it at all. She turned completely numbed but even with that injury, the demon was still difficult to defeat.

The red haired woman spat the blood that accumulated in her mouth and tightly held the spear in her hands. There was only one thing she could do and that was to fight the enemy closely and didn\'t give her any time to manifest her magic.

The fight between the demon and the elder continued. Every stab of the spear was done in a way that it would surely hit the enemy. She even used her remaining weapons to distract her enemy which gave her the upper hand. With too many weapons attacking at once the demon became vulnerable because she didn\'t know how to deal with so many weapons and every time she tried to explode them away she wasn\'t given the chance.

The barrage of attacks coming from the elder became faster to the point that a normal person couldn\'t see the weapons any longer. The demon slowly sustained injuries and she flew back, the weapons would follow her every movement. Along the chase that was happening in the sky, the demon managed to retaliate but the elder disregarded all of her attacks like they were nothing.

Her loud laugh could be heard through the darkening sky as the crazy woman did not stop from pursuing her enemy. Their exchange of attacks did not cease but the demon was clearly weakening. Thanks to the master\'s blood, she was able to use strong attacks but it would still take a toll on her body.

She stopped flying mid-air and waited for the elder to approach her. The elder did not notice anything weird in the demon\'s movement as she flew forward without hesitation. The spear on her hand pierced the demon square on the chest and blood started to come out from her mouth.

The demon gripped the spear after it pierced her body. The elder was taken aback and when she was about to pull the spear away, several dark mana appeared around the both of them. The weapons that were with her mysteriously disappeared.

In a matter of seconds, another round of explosion happened. This time the explosions were much louder and stronger with a booming sound that reverberated through the whole area. It took at least five minutes before the sound slowly dissipated and a figure fell from the sky.

The elder did not expect that the demon would kill herself just to defeat her. She sustained third degree burns due to the blood from the demon that splashed on her while the explosion was happening. She could already feel that her whole body was on fire because of the pain from her injuries.

She successfully defeated the enemy and she was still alive, so she still considered herself as lucky. The elder still manage to laugh even after being beaten black and blue. She also learned many things from the fight which would be useful to them in the future.

She was still thinking all about this when a shadow suddenly blocked her view of the now dark sky. "Pitiful." She heard the person mutter while looking at her.

Because her vision was a bit blurry, she didn\'t immediately recognize who it was but when the man crouched down to take a better look at her, the surprise on her face cannot be concealed. Nobody in the tower or in the capital who didn\'t know who the person was. He was famous not only because of his standing in the tower but also because of his background.

"What are you doing here?" She managed to ask after the shock finally subsided. She couldn\'t suspect the Magus Maximus\'s disciple easily because there might be other reasons why he was there.

Cygnus laughed, "Other reasons? I don\'t have any other reason because the only thing I came to spectate was the chaos and death of the tower."

The elder\'s eyes widened as she tried to push herself up into a sitting position where she could be face to face with the master. She saw no lies from his words and his eyes were of the color of blood.

"Why are you here?" She gave Cygnus a glare while asking that question.

"Do you want to hear the answer that will please you or do you want to hear the reason that will surely piss you off?" He was holding back his laughter but it still burst.

"Don\'t play with me!" She was now angry because this young master was not right in the mind. "Are you betraying he tower?"

"Betraying?" he continued to laugh, "Who would I betray when from the very beginning I was never a part of your little organization. In fact, I am here to destroy your beloved tower and kill each one of you even my so called master." He explained without blinking.

After she heard what Cygnus said, a sudden realization came to her. "Were you the one who attacked those laboratories?"
