The Legend Of Lyan 2

Pave the Way

“ARGH!” Lyan was unable to endure the pain running through her entire body. She screamed loudly while covering the part of her body that was bleeding heavily.

Master Gyo who watched was shocked. ‘Lyan!’

Seeing Lyan fall beside her teacher while groaning in pain, Yuna tried to quell her fear. ‘No, not a time like this.’

Yuna immediately put Youl in a position she thought was safe then moved towards the young man.

“Hold, Lyan!” Yuna tried to stop the blood that kept pouring out of Lyan's right shoulder.

“It turns out they really are nothing.” Zemus shook his head slowly. Disappointed because the rats were even much weaker than he expected.

“What need to end them immediately, Mister?” Joe asked that.

Zemus stroked his beard. “Lakuka—”

Zemus held back the speech when he noticed the same smell as Astaroth among them. The smell was barely smelled as it was too weak and almost out of his reach. He started to stare at the origin of that smell that was none other than Lyan's. After analyzing it once again, he again found something shocking. There was a fragmentary figure of the soul of a hermit in the Soul Space of the young man.

“No, don't rush. We have to wait a little while.” Zemus smiled broadly.

While Lyan was still quite surprised by the situation that befell her. He was pretty sure before that their opponent did not take off any attacks at all. Yet how could they obtain such a powerful attack that was not even realized at all? Even the figure they attacked earlier looked fine there. “What... what happened actually..”.

“If I'm right. No, seeing his ability can make teacher and you up like this. Most likely his ability can restore the attack many times larger.”.

The Demon Laws were the abilities Yuna gained while absorbing the spirit of the Tiger General. As long as he could withstand the burden of unleashing this ability, he could easily return every attack of his opponent.

But what he saw now was a much greater ability. An extremely terrifying ability, one that could make figures like Lyan and his teacher injured was quite severe.

The light that was lying down started to open its eyes. Slowly he got up while holding his machete. “At last I understood why this wound I felt was familiar. No wonder it was my own attack that was returned multiple times.”

“Teacher...”

“I'm fine, Yuna. Take Lyan and Youl with you. I'll open the way for you.”

After the bleeding stopped, Lyan got up. “No, Teacher... I will also—”

“Your condition is the worst. Don't add to my work.”

Lyan could only fall silent at the words of her teacher.

Light turned his head towards Lyan, he understood the feelings of his students but the current situation did not allow them to relax any longer. “We don't have much time to waste at the moment, Lyan. Rise now. They have not attacked until now indicating we have been underestimated. We have to do something to keep the old man a little entertained. If not, there's a chance he'll end this soon.”

Light had met many people like Zemus. According to him, the old man was having fun while waiting for what they would do in the future. As a teacher, Light did not want his students to end up in a place like this. He started to step in the opposite direction from Zemus, this man was preparing to open a path.

Yuna doesn't know what to do. He could only bite his lips before moving quickly to where Soul was and smearing him.

Lyan, Yuna along with Youl were behind Light who continued to step closer to a single figure staring at them with a flat face.

“HAH!” The swing of the machete began to shoot towards the man. Before hitting it, a powerful attack hit Light again, making him retreat a few steps with his body drenched in blood.

Lyan and Yuna started to worry. But Light signaled that he was okay.

“This is pretty painful. If I were to use the form of the Sun Man, maybe my condition would be bad now.” Light again swung a much stronger attack.

This time Light retreated further, Lyan helped by holding his teacher from behind so as not to retreat further and further. “Teacher...”.

“HAH!”

BLAARS!

“HUAARGH!!”

BLAARS!

Attack after attack Light has launched. But none of them succeeded in that figure. “It turns out this is quite troublesome.”

With a body drenched in blood, Light remained standing while sticking his machete to the surface of the ground.

Seeing their teacher step back to the front, Yuna immediately lowered her head. A tear fell from the woman's right eye.

While Lyan clenched her left hand hard. It's enough to see all this. He can't keep quiet anymore.

‘Wait, Lyan.’

Master Gyo's voice within the Soul Space stopped Lyan's movement.

‘Don't stop me, Master! I can't see the teacher continue like that.’

‘I have no intention of stopping you. I just want to offer you to use my power this time.’

Lyan was silent for a moment. If he agrees, then disaster will come. However if he did not accept Master Gyo's help, not only would Light experience danger, but Yuna and Youl would also be in a bad situation.

‘The loss of your hand is my fault. All this because I've asked you to find a soul piece. I know by doing this the calamity will come back to you. But..’ Master Gyo clenched loudly both his hands, his tone changing as if holding back anger. ‘This time I can't help myself anymore.’

Lyan smiled for a moment at Master Gyo's words. Without thinking again, he made a decision. ‘Good, Master. Please lend me your strength.’

Master Gyo smiled widely and arrogantly said, ‘Remember this time will be different from the last time you used my power. Since I have fused with the other two soul pieces, you will gain incredible strength!’

All over Lyan's body began to flow with a tremendous force. He could feel his soul stir when he received the strength of Master Gyo that was continuously flowing into him.

“GROAAARGHH!!”

Yuna who was holding onto Soul was dragged backwards due to the energy waves emitted by the young man. Light also experienced something similar, he immediately stuck his machete so as not to retreat further.

Zemus smiled broadly as he watched the incident. “I was expecting something interesting to happen.”

While Joe and ten other Zemus troops were just staring with flat expressions.

DUAAAR!!!

A huge explosion occurred after Lyan received a large amount of power from Master Gyo. As the puff of smoke thinned, it appeared that Lyan's body was now filled with a blue aura that formed the form of a fox.

“Lyan..” Yuna says small. But moments after watching Lyan ring her neck and make strange gestures like jumping up and down, Yuna felt something was wrong. “No, you're not Lyan.”.

“Heh? Yuna's? I didn't think you'd notice that so soon. But no need to worry. I'll take care of those gibberish so you can continue your journey back.”
