《Brave Soul》14. Saint of Greed 1
Advertisement
The dark cloud is covering the light coming from the sky. Fifteen city guards surrounded Eloah and Carl. Greta eyes widened. Most of the villagers expression are mixed some shows anger towards Eloah but most are smirking towards the bishop.
“Let me tell you something peasants! Then he looked towards the guards that surround both Eloah and him and said “This aggression towards me is considered a sin, God will punished all of you! Do you want the curse to return again!? How about this I will forgive all of you, kill this boy in front of me and God will forgive all of you.
The guards did not even bother to move. They just look towards Carl with hatred in their eyes especially the older ones. Most of the older citizen shows extreme hostile towards the bishop.
I wonder what happened in the past. “It seems like the citizen does not like you” then I smile.
“In this country kid, one must not offend the great church! I will kill all of you!” he touches the pendant that is attached to his gold necklace. He whispered something then all of the sudden the pendant shine then flicker several times. Carl was engulfed by a ball of light then when the light dissipates, he is now wearing a white light armour and the colour of his whip became gold. It looks like a hunter clothes but using white leather like materials. The clothes have a sun like emblem on the upper armour.
“Eloah be careful” Greta’s voice is shaking.
“What is it?” without glancing her.
“That is special armour given by the different branches in military, religious, sect or clan. That armour is made up of material that is unknown to any other branches. Each branch has their own secrets but from what I know, the military and the religious sector have several armour that was hidden from the public.“ Greta’s voice is shaking.
“It seems you are knowledgeable but you don’t know the half of it.....” he look at the guard on his left side and hit him with his whip. The guards armour disintegrated. Then he hit him on his neck then strangled him. After a few seconds the orifices such as the ears, mouth shine brightly then the eyeball melted but there is no blood. It seemed it was cauterized because of the intense heat coming from the white light.

All of the people became frantic. You can see the eyes of the guards, they are scared. Still, they stand on the ground even though their legs are shaking.
“Greta, move all the people away from that guy. Let me face him. Please, if you have a way of contacting the Duke kindly do it. This guys I can feel a strong nature energy coming from him and he is one rank higher than me.” I calmly said it.
“Are you sure!? But that guy...!? she raised her voice.
“Just go.... away from us. Gather all the citizen in one place then let the guards surround them. I got a bad feeling about him and his intention.” I said it calmly.
“Okay, I will wait near the south gate,” she whispered.
Greta gather all guards, including the guards that surround Eloah and Carl. They marched towards the empty space near the south gate.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Why do that!? If they just asked for forgiveness then everything will be fine!” then he laughs very loud.
Eloah ran toward the pole which is 1 meter in length. It was on the ground just 2 meters away from him. He ran and thrust the pole towards Carl’s sternum but Carl manage to wrap his whip around the pole then wave his whip which elevate Eloah’s body for about 6 meters from the ground. Eloah activate “GRASS CLENCH” “DRILL” ten braided leaves from the ground are rotating towards Carl. Carl jump back and Eloah manage to break free by unequipping the pole. He use “GRASS CLENCH” and 2 braided leaves wrapped around his body and safely place him on the ground.
Carl unwrap the whip from the pole and uses his weapon to whip the entire leaves. All leaves were burn by an off white flame.
“You!” Carl gritted his teeth. He raised his left hand and shouted “ SOUL MARCH” this is a second tier ability. In order for this ability to work a Dewin must concentrate his natural energy at the centre of his palm then spread it equally to his digits. This spell will be cancelled if the Dewin can’t spread it equally to at least 3 of his digits. Carl casted the spell three times and fifteen off white 3 inches in diameter spherical light appears and floats around him. He then shouted “SOUL MARCH TRI FORM”
The spherical gather and form a 3 pentagon shape, one is in his left, one is in his right side and the last one is just above him. All 3 shapes has are transparent at the middle while the spherical ball at each side are flickering.

Eloah uses “GRASS CLENCH” “DRILL” 10 braided leaves attacked Carl, Carl wave his left hand and the pentagon shape just repel all the leaves. He wave is right hand, an intense light coming from the centre of the shape appear and directly burn all the leaves.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You will die in here and after that I will erase all witnesses” Carl laughs maniacally.
“Tell me you...Your Excellency...tell me...why you hated this city? I am just curious about what happened in the past.”
“Huh? Why would I tell you anyway!? He waves his right hand and direct the shape towards Eloah, an intense light appeared but Eloah manage to use “GRASS CLENCH” as wall. Few seconds the leaves just turn into ashes. One can see a white flame on the ashen leaves.
I want to use the other nature spell but if this guy will know that I have several affinities and he manage to escape I will be in big trouble. I need to kill him without using other type of magic unless if I am confident that I can kill him.
“You did not bother to answer my question, Your Excellency? I smiled.
“You will die, so don’t bother! “MIRROR’S EGO” the left and the right ball combine and became a huge decagon shape. This is a 3rd tier ability. It serve like a mirror, the user will stand in front of the mirror and replicate himself. The Dewin can only produce one replication. The replicated person will have 50% power coming from the original person. The original person does not have any negative effects. This ability will last for 1 hour and can only be use once a day.
The person without the pentagon means the replicated one. Eloah cut several leaves on the ground at least 20 leaves, then uses “GRASS BLADE” This is a 2nd tier ability, this ability can only be use with the pre existing materials specifically leaves. The Dewin must hold it and must inject its energy to the leaves. The energy should equally distribute on the surface area of the leaf, if not then only the leaf or leaves which the energy was equally distributed will be functional. Once the leaf will hit a solid surface it will lose its effect.
Out of 20 leaves only 10 leaves are functioning well. Ten leaves float and attack fake Cark but fake Clark uses his whip and manage to deflect all of it. The real Clark run towards Eloah’s left side while the fake Clark run towards Eloah’s right side. They use their weapon to hit Eloah. Eloah on the other hand concentrates his energy and manage to use “GRASS CLENCH” “DRILL” several braided leaves attack the fake one and Eloah uses his pole to thrust real Carl’s face and he mange to hit his nose. Carl’s nose deviate on the right side and blood is coming out from his nose. The leaves manage to drill fake Carl’s anterior abdomen and impaled him on the wall.
Eloah switched his attention to the real one but he realize that the pentagon shape is gone and when he gaze towards the fake one, the pentagon is now above the fake Carl and several glistening dust is pouting towards Carl. His wounds are starting to close.
“Oh! NO!....”DEMETER’S SPEAR” this is a third tier ability, one must have a good mental picture to create a spear. One must cast first several “GRASS BLADE” then congregate it in one place to form a spear. The spear is about 1.5 meter. The first 1/3 of the spear has serrated edges. After forming the spear, the Dewin must inject its energy again into the spear as well as the hand that will be use to throw it, to maximize the spears velocity.
The spear was thrown towards fake Carl and hit its head. A projectile bleed is coming out from the headless fake Carl, seconds later the body undergoes spasm until it stop and rested on his own blodd.The pentagon keep on showering a healing dust until it got exhausted and disappear.
“Mama!” the boy is crying.
Carl uses its whip and grabs the boy and place the boy in front of him. “What are you!? Are you from military? Or other cults or Noble family? or you must be related to Gran!
“Huh? What are you talking about? I asked calmly.
“ Then how the hell did you manage to use Soul Forge!” Gran pointed at Eloah.
