Cygnus looked at her with a faint smile on his face. He did not refute her words and just waited for her to make her own conclusion. It also saved him the explanation.

The elder choked and with a trembling voice she asked the man, "How?" She tried to push herself away from the man but she was stopped by another man who stood on her other side.

Cygnus reveled in the fact that the woman felt fear because of his presence. There was always a feeling of satisfaction whenever he would see people taking a detour when they see him. It would always put a smile on his face the knowledge that he was feared.

"Because I am a superior being. You know, I even got the nickname \'destroyer of worlds\' from one of the people who wanted to kill me. I\'m on a much higher pedestal than any of you," he oozing confidence from his voice brought chills to her already aching body.

His words, though extravagant and only speak of self-praise, all sounded true to her ear. She wanted to believe that he was only talking nonsense but no matter how denied it, her being wouldn\'t accept it. The man\'s red eyes were not lying.

"D-did you come to destroy our world? Is that the reason why you are here?" She wanted to know because no matter what happens she would survive and reveal how two faced the man was.

Cygnus laughed, "No. Of course not. I came here for a vacation but then you see, I saw some things that caught my attention and I just can\'t let it go. Along the way, the more I discovered how filthy you mages are, the urge to destroy your tower became stronger."

The master stood up from his crouching position and from the empty space beside him a magic circle appeared. He dipped his hand inside and when he pulled it back, he was already holding a very familiar spear. The elder\' eyes widened when she saw her weapon in somebody else\'s hand.

The elder who seemed to have lost her strength pushed herself up in record time and tried to snatch back her weapon. "Give it back!" She lunged towards the master like a deranged person and tried to claw his face.

Cygnus stepped to the side to dodge the woman as he smiled when he turned around and saw the woman who stumbled on the ground. The elder did not think twice and attacked again, this time a magic circle appeared above Cygnus followed by several weapons falling down. The attack intended to pierce him like a skewer but his shield dome was impenetrable.

The elder did not stop there though. Even with her injured body, she still infused mana to the weapons and controlled them remotely. The swords and spears flew and attacked again but this time, Cygnus did not defend. He also infused mana to the spear he was holding and smashed the other weapons into smithereens.

He only raised the spear and used it\'s tip to parry the assaulting weapons which ended up into pieces. He laughed and looked at the weapon in his hands in amazement while the elder who exhausted all her remaining mana in that attack was dumbstruck. She couldn\'t believe what she had seen, all her weapons were destroyed.

"This has a good quality, I think I can use this a couple more times before it gets destroyed," Cygnus had a grin on his face as he examined the weapon.

Cygnus then noticed the silence so he turned around to see what happened to the woman. He bent over and laughed uncontrollably when he saw the woman\'s surprised expression, then changed into that of fear. It was truly a thrill to see an almighty elder having that kind of look on her face.

Slowly he calmed himself down and resumed his serious face, "Enough of this. I want to look at the others now."

He walked up to the woman and before she could realize what the other would do, she felt pain in her abdomen, specifically the part where her mana core was. She looked down and saw blood was pouring out from her where the man had pulled her mana core. Her head remained bowed for a couple of seconds before she looked up once again and looked at the man with wide eyes.

Blood slowly flowed out from her mouth and the words she wanted to stay became a blabber that nobody can understand. She tried to extend her hand towards the shining core in the man\'s hand but she lost the strength to continue. Her hands went limp and fell down once again but she was still breathing.

In her last breath, she felt pain in her chest and with the last bit of her clear vision, she saw her own weapon embedded where her heart was. She was already dying and yet the man still stabbed her, he was really cruel. This was her last thought before everything went black.

"Isn\'t that overkill master?" Mr. C commented after the master pulled out the spear.

"Overkill? Of course not! I did it to hasten the process because she was still alive." Cygnus shrugged his shoulders while looking at the mana core in his hands. "This mana core isn\'t even worth it. I tried taking it to take a look but it\'s not that powerful and her abilities are mediocre." He then closed his fist around the core and smashed it.

The core turned into dust and disappeared with the night wind\'s gentle breeze. He looked around at the destruction and when he didn\'t find anything interesting, he leapt into the air and walked up using an invisible step. Mr. C gave the dead woman one last look before he followed behind his master.

"I\'m now more interested in my master\'s mana core. It will surely be full of darkness," he grinned then after a while, he laughed.

They returned to where Ari and Astro were and he once again took a seat. Astro noticed the spear and couldn\'t help but give the master a bewildered look. He only said that he wanted the weapon and now it was already in his hands.

"Is the elder alive?" Astro asked despite his premonition.

"She\'s already dead. I dug out her mana core and stabbed her with her spear, so of course she\'s dead. I made sure of it." The nonchalant way he answered the question brought chills to his spine.

Astro was rendered speechless and he refused to look at the master and instead focus on the screens. He didn\'t know what possessed him to ask such a stupid question even though he already knew the answer. He gulped and tried to diminish his presence as the chaos ensued. He silently promised to himself that he wouldn\'t ask the next time.

The fight on the other side of the city continued and just like the first elder, the other elders claimed victory. Some of them were beaten black and blue but they were lucky because they were still alive. If not for that spear, Astro was sure that the elder who owned it would still be alive.

On the last projection, the fight hasn\'t reached its end yet. The elder was fighting the child that Nina subdued. His defense has increased and the elder seemed to be having a difficult time inflicting a fatal injury to his enemy.

"Hmm, that child seemed to have gotten stronger and the marks in his body are now completely gone. What an interesting fellow." Cygnus commented while they were watching the fight.

The elder who was fighting the \'dark child\' had been injured by the child\'s wild and unsynchronized attacks. He couldn\'t predict when or where the attack would come from. He was good at using earth magic but he wasn\'t able to land any hits on the child.

"Oh, I think this child will be an asset for us. Since he has my blood, if he survives I will let him serve me."
