"How are you here, Xenox??" Kirigan asked with fear written on his face.
Xander stood up and looked at Kirigan's direction. Anger was written all over his face.
"I've come for you Kirigan, don't expect it to be like before" Xander said, pretending to be Xenox.
"That's impossible, I detached your fye so how are you here??"
"What else, for our rematch of course!!" Xander said as he threw a ball of fire towards Kirigan's direction. Kirigan managed to block it but it grazed him.
"What the hell?? He's gotten stronger" Kirigan thought.
"Very well then, I'll kill you a second time" Kirigan said as he releases a lightning attack but Xander was swift to dodge it.
"The way he moves is highly unpredictable. He really did change after our last battle" Kirigan thought.
Kirigan then releases water balls and sends them to Xander but Xander nullifies them with balls of fire.
"I can't believe he's using more than one magic attribute, as expected from someone who's a necromancer" Xander thought.
"You keep becoming interesting every second that passes by Xenox, I really want to ha--" Kirigan started feeling a sense of discomfort. Exactly the kind of discomfort he feels when Xenox's fye fights with him. He coughs up blood.
"You, you're not Xenox are you?" Kirigan asked.
"What do you mean by that? Oh have I so leveled up that you can't remember me?" Xander said still keeping up the act.
"Stop playing tricks with me. You're fighting me on the outside but I can still feel Xenox's fye fighting me on the inside. Tell me the truth, who the hell are you imposter??"
"Ah ah, it seems I can't continue with the act. I'm Xander Fauster, Xenox's twin" Xander let the cat out of the bag.
"I can't believe I was fooled by your identical faces"
"I guess all BIWA seats are fools, even your student was foolish not to know wind increases firepower" Xander said.
"Ouch, that hurt my chest pretty bad, I guess I really need you to increase my wisdom!!" Kirigan said as he sends more bolts of lightning.
"I'm starting to get a hang of your power, you're able to use the magic of those you've caged their souls am I right?" Xander said after countering the bolts with fire.
"Soul is an awkward name for it. I call it fye"
"Whatever" Xander looked around and saw a sword nearby.
"Guess I'll try long range" He picked up the sword and coats it with fire then sends fire slashes towards Kirigan.
"No you don't" Kirigan creates a magic shield to protect himself from the slashes. He then lands forcibly on the ground, creating tree vines and sending them towards Xander.
Xander dodges them swiftly and uses his flame sword to dissect the vines.
Xander then uses flame to propel himself forward and in a blink of an eye landed a clean slash on Kirigan's chest.
"Lord Kirigan!!" Mirapolos shouted in disbelief.
"Oh, you're still here?" Xander said turning to Mirapolos who was still a bug trying to infest once more on Abbey.
"No you don't!!" Xander creates a wall of fire round Abbey to protect him.
"Ah, ah, you really are like your brother, makes me want to want you more" Kirigan said as he removed his coat, revealing a big X shaped wound on his chest.
"First your brother landed a slash and now you've completed it making it an x scar, and X is your initials right?" Kirigan said as he gave a heinous laughter.
"Wow, quite an accomplishment, I'm so happy at myself" Xander said as he showered praises on himself.
"But just like your brother, this will be your end" Kirigan said as he revealed his right hand, having a tattoo that looked like a curse inscription
******* Dark Art, Soul Detachment Dragon*******
A transparent dragon formed from Kirigan's right hand.
"Just like I thought, that's a cursed art" Xander said as he readied his sword.
"You can't fight it Xander, no one has ever put up a fight with it. It'll steal your fye away and your soul will be mine!!"
Kirigan sends the transparent dragon towards Xander.
Xander sends many flame slashes but it was to no avail.
"I guess it's over" Xander said as he knelt down. Just as the dragon was about to detach his soul from him, a shield stood in the path.
"For crying out loud, after I told you not to croak"
A voice was heard from behind. Twas Lorainne.
"For crying out loud must you and your brother always be reckless?"
"It's in our blood so it can't be helped" Xander said with a smile.
Apparently that shield was from an artifact Lorainne brought along with her.
"And who are you to interrupt my harvest??" Kirigan lashed out in anger.
"Lorainne Hanyu, make sure you remember that" Lorainne said as she positioned herself for battle.
"I guess I'll have to go all out"
********** Sad Mans' Parade**********
Immediately corpses began emerging from the ground. They were about a hundred.
"X-xenox" Lorainne said shaking in fear, it seems she had seen a ghost.
"Oh, these are people who had their fyes taken by me, so I can summon and use them as I please. Don't worry, I'll add you to the collection" Kirigan said as he gave a hideous laughter.
"I'll kill you!!" Xander launched out in anger.
"Get them" Kirigan commanded the corpses and they began attacking.
Xander released a big ball of flame that obliterated half of the corpses.
"Wow, amazing" Lorainne said in awe.
"That last attack should have managed to destroy all of them but what didn't it--"
Of course, there was something to counter it, Xenox's flame power had protected the other half.
"Too bad but you'll have to face your brother, I can't wait to see how this siblings rivalry would turn out to be" Kiragan said as one of the corpses bent over and positioned himself as a chair for Kirigan to sit on.
"You're the worst!!" Lorainne said as she sent wind slashes towards Kirigan but he commanded one of the corpses to raise an earth wall.
Xenox's corpse sends flame balls towards Xander but Xander cuts them with his sword.
"X-xander, p-please free me" Xenox's corpse said as tears strolled down it's eyes.
Tears began flowing Xander's cheeks.
"What kind of cursed fate is this??" Lorainne wondered.
"Yeah, I always pick up the best match up isn't it?, Let me fill you guys on something. The sun deity is in Cairhien so we intend to destroy the city along with him. What a crazy fate for Cairhien!!"
"You're the worst!!" Lorainne shouted at the top of her voice.
"Yep, thank you, I get that a lot" Kirigan said with a a devilish smile.
"I think I should be ending this already" Kirigan commanded a corpse to incapitate Lorainne only for the corpses to be obliterated by a shield made of light.
"Whaat?"
"I'll not let you cause more harm than you already have" A voice was heard. Twas a teenager covered in injuries, Abbey
