60 Chapter 59: Copy Magic
“What did you do to me?!” Lexa yelled at Jeri. She was stuck at a point, her feet were sinking into the ground and her hands were behind her back, cuffed by Jeri’s Shadow magic.
“I told you already. You can’t defeat me. I can use two magics at once, but you light guys are so weak and pathetic. It would be fun when my mother’s plan finally grinds out. I’ll beat all of you assholes.” Jeri said but she started seeing the shadows she used on Lexa unfolding and canceling. The shadow that was below Lexa’s feet and hands had faded away and then, she felt her own shadow sinking her to the ground.
“What is going on, Who is doing this shit,” Jeri shouted as she tried to use her shadow magic to stop the shadow that was sinking her to the ground. She tried to stop the shadows but she was stuck to the ground, unable to use her magic anymore. It was clear that someone was using shadow magic on her.
‘ But who could it be? I’m the only creature of the dark that learned this magic. Is there anyone else who managed to learn but kept it a secret from me?’ Jeri wondered but she knew it was crazy for such a person to fight her instead of defending her. She tried to use her magic once again to free herself but she saw that it was of no use. The ground had swallowed her up to the chest and she was neither able to use her hand nor her feet due to this. She raised her head and saw someone walking toward her.
“You don’t have to stress yourself Jeri or what do you call yourself? I may be weak and pathetic to you but see, who’s weak and pathetic here?” Lexa said. She saw that the dark fairies were about to intervene so she quickly constructed a shadow dome over herself and her opponent, so they won’t spoil the fun for her. Jeri and Lexa were now alone inside the black dome.
“Do you realize that I’m not as weak and pathetic as you think?”
“You! You learned magic meant for only the dark creatures to learn. You should be punished for that!”
“Duh, my second magic is not shadow magic,” Lexa replied. “It is called copy magic. I can copy whatever magic you’re using. See, I copied your magic and now I’m using it against you.”
Jeri smiled seeing that Lexa had magic equal to hers. This was what she wanted, to compete with someone as strong as her. Ever since she learned the shadow ability, all the fights she had with others had been so easy because none of their magic was as strong as hers. But now, she finally saw someone who have the same strong magic as hers. This is an opportunity to know how strong she is against someone as strong as her.
.....
“Do you think you can win against me even if we fight again?” Jeri taunted Lexa with her words so they could fight once again. “You do not have the experience I have in using the Shadow. You will easily be beaten by me just like I defeated you in the first fight.”
“I would love to see you try. Defeat me while you’re still stuck inside the ground, ah.. that’s funny.”
“This, that’s cheating. Come on, we won’t cancel the dome, let us both fight it out for one last time and see who’s stronger and more experienced.” Jeri persuaded her but still, Lexa wouldn’t agree to her words.
“Do you want me to promise you then? You want your crush to be released right? Then defeat me. if you manage to defeat me this time I’ll leave him alone to you and wouldn’t bother anyone of you again. This is a promise, I swear with everything I have.” Jeri said.
Lexa was silent for a while as she thought about what Jeri was saying. But she still wasn’t convinced.
“I would try and find a way to set him free without your help,” Lexa said with false hope. She still can’t remember what her sister told her about the antidote to the daze spell back then.
Jeri smiled amusingly, “How? How will you be able to do that, tell me? There is only one way to do that and that is if I set him free voluntarily. If you don’t fight me and win, I won’t let him go.” Jeri explained.
“Then I’ll find someone else to set him free,” Lexa replied, her hands folding against each other.
“Come on girl, no one else will be able to set him free apart from me. Not even the fairies I have with me will be able to set him free.”
“Then I’ll torture you till you finally set him free.”
“Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah... My brother and mum will come for your head. And believe me, you won’t be spared at all.” Jeri laughed boisterously.
After hearing all the excuses that Jeri was giving, Lexa came to think of it. Would she be able to set Kevin free if she didn’t release this lady? Won’t it cause a lot of problems in the future? She didn’t want her father to be worried about her. So she thought of Jeri’s words once again and made her final decision.
“Is that what you want? A fight between the two of us. Okay, let’s do this but you must not go back on your promise.” Lexa said as she released Jeri from the bondage she was and the two gawked at each other while standing opposite themselves.
Jeri positioned her hands on the ground and another shadow dome was formed.
“What are you doing?” Lexa wondered.
“This is the second dome, so no one would be able to escape or summon any power beyond this dome,” Jeri answered. “Who knows, your magic may be able to summon birds or bats.”
“Then let’s make it three, that way I won’t be able to escape and you won’t be able to escape. The fight will be a fair one.” Lexa smiled.
