Chapter 53: A Bit More Pain and I’ll Get There
As the trio of Knights came charging in towards him, Aster swiftly unleashed a small but intense telekinetic shockwave, knocking them back as they closed in on him, before he shot towards the entrance of their outpost, as he noticed one of the Knights inside rushing towards a drawer and pulled it out, starting to reach into it.
"[Telekinetic Pull]!" He chanted as he raised his right hand in the direction of the drawer, yanking it out of the Knight’s hands before he could take hold of a Teleport Spell, as the drawer came zipping through the air towards Aster.
As it got within his reach, he grabbed it before peering in and telekinetically crushing the Spell Cards in it, before he swiftly ducked as Dox closed in on him from the left and swung a spear across at his head, narrowly evading the blade of the spear as it whizzed past the top of his head.
He then raised his palm and fired out a sharp burst of telekinesis at Dox, eliciting a gasp of pain from him as the attack struck his stomach and sent him flying back.
"D-damn it...[Dark Spear]!" Chanted Dox through gritted teeth, taking aim as he went hurtling back through the air and fired out a rapid Dark Magic projectile at Aster, before his back hit the ground and he skidded away painfully.
As the projectile began to close in on Aster’s left, Diar appeared to his right with a bright glow around his fists as Jacks sprang up behind him, the pair converging in on him simultaneously with Dox’s Spell.
Diar swung his right fist towards the side of Aster’s head as Jacks drew out a pair of twin short-swords, the blades vibrating with a high-pitched ringing as he began to slash them across at Aster’s back.
Aster swiftly ducked below Diar’s fist, whose eyes widened in alarm as the dark projectile came shooting towards his wrist as his fist whizzed past the top of Aster’s head, before cracks appeared in the air behind Aster as he formed a telekinetic wall to block Jacks’s slashes.
He then swiftly slammed his palm onto the middle of Diar’s torso as he lost his balance by hurriedly pulling his arm back to avoid Dox’s Dark Spear Spell, which grazed the front of his knuckles before he got sent hurtling back through the air as Aster unleashed a telekinetic blast from his palm against the Knight’s stomach at point-blank range, eliciting a wheezing gasp from Diar as the impact knocked the wind out of him.
Aster then spun around as Jacks shattered the telekinetic wall and leapt towards him, swinging his blades down as Aster swiftly raised his own pair of twin blades up, a sharp clang echoing out as the blades collided against each other.
"[Sonic-...]...!" Jacks began to chant, before Aster quickly swung his arms out while simultaneously unleashing bursts of telekinesis from his blades, knocking Jacks back as a blast of high-pitched noise burst out of his mouth, shooting over the top of Aster’s head as the Knight got sent flying back.
