Physics The Greatest Magic 110 Light Vs Dark

"Hoh... Not bad, to be able to cancel out my fire with water" Said the other john 

The moment john saw his shadow above him, he created a water s.h.i.+eld to cancel out the dark flames, however he was still hit. That was because unlike regular flames, dark flames is harder to burnt out and last longer. John knew this because it was a move his master usually used. 

His master had apt.i.tude for fire and dark magic. So he got to see the move plenty of times, it was difficult to deal with because it was hard to put out the flame, but eventually john learnt how to. 

But even knowing that, the difference in levels was obvious. John had been on the defensive this whole time and was struggling, so he thought about changing things up. 

John changed his stance into the offensive one, he took a deep breath as he emptied his mind. 

The shadow's location moved once again, John turned to where he had sensed it and swung his dagger, Surprised, the shadow shadow stepped to the area above John and swung his dagger downwards 

John dodged it and at the same time, propelled a ice spike at him, however the shadow, shadow stepped again to dodge it. This time, the shadow was now keeping distance from john. 

Master once told john 'You think too much when you fight, let your senses do the work'. Ever since then she has trained all of his senses.

A pure blue flame was formed right in front of john, he propelled it at the shadow to test something 

"Tenebris Aqua" Translation: Dark Water 

A dark coloured liquid was formed in front of the shadow, and not only blocked but absorbed the fire, no steam was let out. The water then disappeared to nothing. 

John wanted to see, if the shadow could use any other element aside from dark, and after seeing it's recent move, John believes that it can use every dark version of every element. 

With this, john realised how slim his chances were of winning. However, he didn't give up 

"Come at me." Said john while concentrating as hard as he could 

With a grin, the shadow with his appearance, teleported right in front of him. They were both using the same stance, therefore, their attack patterns would be the same. With this, they clashed. 

--------------------------------------------------- 

They all waited in silence, no sounds were coming from under the edge. 

"John's master... have you done the trial before?" 

Master nodded 

"What exactly happens?" Ariel asked 

Master was unsure whether or not to answer Ariel's question, but decided to as she had a right to know. 

"The first trial tests john's faith. John must stay true to his purpose. And for the second trial... He must conquer himself... In other words, fight." Said master 

"Fight... Himself? Was it hard when you fought yourself?" Serena asked 

"No, he were evenly matched, but back then I was a kid. I couldn't use magic, and was barely experienced with using a dagger, and so was my shadow." 

"Then since john can use magic, and is very good at using it, doesn't that mean his shadow will also be just as strong? Won't that make it harder for john?!" Asked Ariel visibly worried 

Master nodded as she said "But that means the power he'll gain will be bigger." 

"But what if he fails..." Asked Ariel as she started to tear up 

She was about to sprint off the edge, ignoring, what master said, but serena stopped her. 

"Serena!" Ariel shouted 

When she saw, serena's expression, she realised that Serena was just as mad and worried as her, but was stopping herself, Seeing that, Ariel forced herself to wait a little longer... 

----------------------------------------------------- 

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang* 

The sound of weapons. .h.i.tting each other, resounded throughout the darkness. A light versus a shadow. 

With irregular swings, following one after another, John would either block them, or avoid them, while attacking. No one was being pushed back, just as no one was being hit. 

John was constantly draining his energy, to keep up the rush, while the shadow looked perfectly fine, however, john's focus did not waver 

For a moment, the shadow, left an opening near his torso, John instantly grabbed that opening and got a clean kick on the shadow. He reinforced his leg as much as he could, sending the Shadow flying back 

As the shadow continued to roll back, it suddenly disappeared, John looked around then up but it wasn't there, he looked down, and it was rising from the ground right underneath him at a fast speed. 

As john stepped back to avoid it, it disappeared again, and this time, John knew that it was behind him. Since his legs weren't touching the ground, John needed to use velox to propel himself away 

As he turned, to face the shadow, and propel himself away, he was suddenly stabbed, right beside his abs, in the abdominal oblique. 

John tried to pull the dagger out of him, but it wouldn't budge 

Then with a grin, the shadow muttered, "Tenebris Flammae" 

Flames erupted through the blade, and pa.s.sed through john's wound 

"GAAHHH!" John let out 

The pain coming from the wound was unimaginable, his hand wouldn't stop trembling, and he couldn't talk. As he continued to grip the shadow's hand trying to pull it away from his wound, he looked at the shadow's face. 

IT had a wide grin formed on it, as it said 

"Ah... Yes... That expression... That hate... The pain... The fear... It tastes so good..." 

As pain surged through his body and john's anger began to increase, he could hear a voice inside of him 

[John, need help?] 

He could easily recognise the voice, even though he hadn't heard it in a long time, it was the voice of the person who saved him from the shadow mage. Hearing that voice, gave him strength, it showed him that he wasn't alone 

"No, I'll be fine." Said John 

The shadow confused, was about to end john with the next move, when all of the sudden, John said
