Chapter 23 - Heavenly restriction

Billions of years ago, an explosion's shockwave travelled across the multiverse, which then was known as the Big Bang. The Mana, which caused the explosion, spread across the newly made universe, making chemical bonds, making stars, making galaxies and at last making solar systems. 

Earth was a special one; the mana was so condensed that life took its first steps on Earth. Many animals took steps on Earth, but nothing was like the endless destruction. Humans took their place on Earth. 

Their smartness and curiosity caused them to discover Mana. As them being humans, Mana took a wrong turn, the substance which created everything became the start of the era of Endless destruction. 

After the many millions of years of destruction, the God of creation himself took their steps on Earth. The endless destruction saddened him, causing him to set a limit on humans called the 'Awakening'. Awakening was the only way left to use Mana.

The God who was called Kamui created 7 different Mana beings with his own Mana to protect the people of Earth. Kamui had a small friction of Mana, which he then repeatedly reincarnated to keep the protectors in check, who were later named the God Armour.

Each God Armour had a restriction given straight from heaven to keep them in check by the other God Armours, too. This restriction was known as the heavenly restriction.

There were many types of mana created during the Big Bang, of which humans could only use two: Human and Nature Mana. Human mana was special to Humans, which was red in colour. The Nature Mana, as the name suggests, was the Mana possessed by Nature, and as Humans are a part of Nature, they too can use Nature Mana.

The 7 God Armours made their own clans who had the same bloodline. Each bloodline had its own unique powers, so they were feared by each other, causing more war and bloodshed. The limits and powers set by Kamui to bring peace turned into an ability to start a war of hatred, which spanned 1000's of years.

 HEAVENLY RESTRICTION

" Wait! No Nature Mana? Does that mean he's a Zenin?" Shinsetsu thought in her mind.

" I think you realised one more thing, yeah, I am a Zenin, no wonder I can use the Portal technique." Shinsetsu sighed as she thought about the ways she could defeat Gunther,

" The only way I can think off is to disarm him, but how? Those Tonfas are blessed with blood absorption; it has the potential to drain all of Kyra's blood in one hit. He is no fun anymore."

Gunther was thinking, his mind storming with thoughts," Shinsetsu, or Shinsu Setsu, you were destined to reincarnate, but I didn't expect you would reincarnate inside your own daughter. That, too, with both her and Kyra's mana together, is too strong for me. Should I retreat? No, only cowards do that!" His eyes keenly looked at Shinsetsu like they were gonna pop out. 

A burst of energy exploded on the ground behind Gunther as he ran towards Shinsetsu. He appeared in front of Shinsestu with his Tonfas blades in attack mode. Shinsetsu had to think quickly as she jumped up with her mana, propelling her. 

" DEFENCE! That's the key!" Shinsetsu thought in her mind as she pushed her arms front. 

A ball of lightning appeared in front of the palms. She quickly pulled back her left arm and shot a speck of lightning.

Gunther looked at the lightning, pulled his sword and slashed through the lightning speck.

Shinsetsu rested her feet on the ground and started to run in circles while shooting the remaining of the lightning ball. Gunther used his sword to quickly slash each of the lightning specs to defend himself. Each slash emitted a dark aura.

" I get it now, his sword has the dark mana. I have only heard about it in my life." Shinsetsu thought about her mind while running. " I need a weapon, I can't handle his Tonfas with bare hands."

" Ahh, well, I am so done!" Gunther shouted as Shinsetsu lightning was over. Gunther pulled his sword back as a wave of dark mana surrounded it. He slashed it in the air as a huge wave of dark mana ejected from the sword to attack Shinsetsu.

Shinsetsu stopped moving and joined her hands as an explosion of lightning burst from her body and was collected at the tip of her fingers. She pointed it towards the wave of dark mana and ejected the collection of mana as a condensed lightning beam. 

Both of their attack clashed, but just when Shinsetsu realised what dark mana is. Her beam dissipated and was absorbed by the dark mana. She quickly jumped as the dark mana wave moved below her, crashing on the wall with a huge explosion.

But just when she looked forward, she saw the eyes of a devil. Gunther, with his tonfas, attacked Shinsetsu on her cheeks, cutting as she fell on the ground while tripping 3-4 times on the ground. Her pants tore as her cheek started to bleed really badly. " So this is what blood stealing is. Damn it, Kyra will die if this continues." 

Gunther looked at Shinsetsu," *sigh* You are a good fighter, but no match to a God Armour!" He started to run as the ground began to tremble with each foot that kept on the ground.

Shinsetsu smirked," Come out," She looked to her left," Indhra!" 

A person covered in lightning with a sword blocked Gunther's dark mana sword, his eyes shaped a lightning. With a clash of swords, a burst of energy was emitted from both sides. A dark energy emitting from Gunther's side, an electric energy emitting from Indhra's side.

" Kyra! Immediately, leave this fight to me; continue your approach!" Indhra shouted as his sword was cut in half by Gunther's sword. He jumped back while throwing his broken sword.

" Kyra's approach, well, she wanted to go to the right, huh." She saw a large gate," I guess that's where I will move then!" She looked at Indhra," Hey, I trust you can handle yourself!" 

She covered herself with electrical mana and took a dash with her enhanced speed. 

Gunther and Indhra looked into each other's eyes," Never thought I would have to fight you!" Said Indhra to Gunther.

" Atleast at your final moments, I will train you to control your mana then." Said Gunther.

Indhra smirked as lightning covered his body," Hidoi was enough for that!" 

Gunther opened his portal and threw his weapons and kept his right hand in front of his left with his right leg forward," Let's do this the manly way then!" 

Indhra started to run towards Gunther. Gunther ran towards Indhra, and as the warriors met, their extraordinary power clashed with their fists while emitting a shockwave felt across the castle as their eyes met each other.
