Chapter 33: IT'S BURNING... BURNING... MY BODY...

When the sneak attack was launched at Nebra, she didn't notice it; one of the duplicates of Ben noticed it and intercepted the spatial attack by launching a sonic scream.

This time the scream did not travel like an offensive move; instead, it formed a defensive shield before Ben and Nebra.

When the indigo spatial attack hit the defensive wall made of the sonic scream, it bounced off and hit the trees on their side.

DOOM... DOOM...

Which caused the trees to blast off into nothingness where the spatial attack touched the tree.

"____"

"____"

GULP...

'A spatial mage. Why is a spatial mage doing here?'

Looking at the devastation, Nebra gulped, thinking what would have happened if the attack had hit her.

Nebra was shocked because space magic users are rare.

Even all over the Clover Kingdom, they are very rare.

At present, there are only two spatial magic users when you count all the magic knights present in the squad.

One is a member of the Black Bulls and another is in Golden Dawn. By the way, these two are brothers.

So the chance of one turning into a criminal is low because many squads will take them even though their skills are a little mediocre.

"WATCH YOUR BACK, NEBRA."

Ben, after stopping the attack, warned her while looking around vigilantly.

"I can save myself. Baka~ Humpf~"

Hearing Ben, Nebra's face turned red in embarrassment and retorted.

"Hoho~ What is this creature? Is it your contracted beast?"

A voice came from the dust clouds, causing both Ben and Nebra to increase their vigilance.

CLICK...

"BASTARD! WHO ARE YOU CALLING CONTRACT BEAST? I AM A MAGIC KNIGHT."

Ben, who felt offended, clicked his tongue in annoyance and shouted at the cloud of dust.

"Ben, be careful. The one we are facing is a spatial image,"

Nebra warned him to be careful while her grimoire started to flip pages rapidly.

"WHY SHOULD I CARE? ALL I CARE ABOUT IS BLASTING THAT BASTARD'S EARDRUMS."

Suddenly, Ben's duplicate started to split and formed three more Bens, and launched the sonic attack towards the direction where he heard the noise.

Sigh...

"Mist magic: fog bullet."

Seeing Ben was not listening to her, with a sigh, she launched a fog bullet to clear the cloud of dust.

Shhh... Shhhh...

The mana around her started to condense and formed a mist that compacted into big bullets.

After it immediately launched towards the clouds of dust with the trails of white mist line at an incredible speed.

After the bullets passed, the clouds cleared off, and an old man walked forward with a huge grin on his face.

"It seems like I have underestimated you, people. Don't worry, you guys will be sacrificed for the glorious purpose."

Opening his arms wide open, the old man shouted like a maniac.

"____"

"____"

"Who are you people? State your purpose."

Looking at the old man before her, Nebra assumes he might be one of the higher people in the group liberators.

"Hehe~ You will know soon. Then you guys will feel the pain of abandoning us."

The old man's face darkened, and he looked at both Ben and Nebra with hatred.

"____"

"____"

"DID YOUR BROTHERS AS USUAL SLEEP WITH SOME OLD LADY IN THE NAME OF ROYAL BLOOD? DID THEY?"

Seeing the offended old man before him, Ben whispered into Nebra's ears with accusatory eyes.

"What!!! Did you say... you!!! You!!! You!!!"

Hearing Ben and the look he gave her, Nebra started boiling in anger.

"Spatial magic: null stuck."

Unfortunately, the old man heard Ben and immediately launched an attack on Ben.

Where once again an indigo spatial ball launched towards them.

But this time the ball had a larger size.

"ECHO... CHO... CHO... CHO..."

"Mist magic: Kirigami clone."

Both Ben and Nebra dodged the spell and started their respective attacks.

"Spatial magic: null shield."

A glittering indigo wall appeared before Sirius.

When the sonic scream touched the defensive wall, it got absorbed inside it.

While the clone Nebra sent got displaced when it launched itself for self-destruction.

Instead of a blast, it also got absorbed by it.

Seeing their attacks are ineffective, both Nebra and Ben narrowed their eyes.

"Mist magic: Kirigami clones."

"ECHO... CHO... CHO... CHO..."

Once again, they launched the same attack on Sirius, who was smirking at them.

But this time Ben's duplicates started to divide even more and started their attack while Nebra used her magic and created many clones made of mist and launched them towards Sirius to self-destruct.

Seeing the numerous attacks launched at him, Sirius didn't panic; he just looked very calm.

"Spatial magic: split split,"

He murmured, which caused the defensive wall to split in all directions.

The spatial wall absorbed the sonic attacks, and when Nebra's clone self-destructed, even the explosion got absorbed by it.

Charlotte had already cleared her side; now she was looking at the battle between Ben and Nebra with the old man.

She will step inside if the situation demands.

They have already surrounded the area, and Sirius will not be able to escape.

"____" 

"____"

"Is that all you got?"

Sirius snorted and looked at Ben provocatively.

"____"

"FUCK! JUST YOU WAIT, YOU OLD ASS."

Ben touched the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

With a green light radiant all over his body, he transformed back into his human form.

"You!!! So, it's you."

Seeing Ben's appearance, Sirius looked a little shocked. He had just read the information about the boy before him.

Ben didn't reply; he clicked his Omnitrix and started running the display to select an alien.

'Four arms, no... Heatblast, no... Stinkfly, no... Diamondhead... um... no... Ghostfreak... let's go with it.'

He once again transformed into an alien, but this time he transformed into a Ghostfreak.

"GHOSTFREAK!!!"

Ben roared, opening his both hands with smugness.

Suddenly smoke started to come off Ben, who was giving an iconic pose.

"AHHHHH~ IT'S BURNING... BURNING... MY BODY... SHIT HOW CAN I FORGET THIS WEAKNESS."

Ben screamed in agony and jumped into Nebra's shadows.

"____"

Nebra looked at Ben, who ran into her shadows screaming, with deadpan eyes.

"Briar magic: vein knots."

A calm voice came from the sidelines.

Many veins burst from the ground and started to surround the old man and tried to bind him, but once the veins touched the defensive walls, they got absorbed.

Seeing her magic spell also getting absorbed, Charlotte controlled the veins, and there were many entanglements.

Which caused many shadows cast by the thick entangled veins.

"I expected much more from a captain like you, sweet lady."

Sirius, seeing the dangerous veins which Charlotte is infamous for, was not passing through his defense, asked provocatively.

"But he can."

Charlotte, with an icy cold look on her face, said calmly.

"____"

Hearing Charlotte, he became confused and turned back.

"WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING? OLD MAN."

A scary voice whispered in his ears.

"____"

"What the..."

Before Sirius could react, Ben in his Ghostfreak base form entered Sirius's body.

Slap...

"What is happening."

Slap... Slap...

Sirius's hands stopped listening to him and started slapping him.

Before Sirius could think what was happening in his defensive spell, his cast was canceled without him canceling it.

With the clearance of obstruction, the veins started to bind Sirius's body and started to absorb his magic from his body.

"What is happening to me."

Seeing his body not listening to him, Sirius started to panic for the first time.

"HEHE, ~ STINKY OLD MAN LET ME TEAR YOUR MOUTH..."

Ben's head came out of Sirius's chest and said with a chuckle.
