The Borders
Part 45 – Lyam Challenge
"Well, what do you mean?" Kashel took a few steps back and he was surprised. Lyam the number one in the academy challenged him.
"Are you going to kill me?" Kashel immediately bluntly, willing as great as the ability of his protective spell. He will not want to fight the number one student in his school, because it is the same as looking to die his name. Kashel thought once hit by his attack his protective spell would be destroyed.
"I'm not going to kill you, just test the abilities you have. I'm curious about one of Kendrick's future successors." Lyam still invited Kashel to speak with her cold eyes.
"I always thought I wouldn't take that position. Just so you know, it really sucks." Kashel said, wanting to refuse.
"Excuse me, let me go." Kashel passed politely past Liam.

CTIKS!
Lyam flicked her finger, instantly the atmosphere had changed to that of the back court of the Spiritual Academy. The place is rarely visited by people because it is quite far from the classroom. And only used when there is a magic practice that is quite draining like doing a fight.
Kashel was half-dead confused as he passed through a black hole and suddenly when in a blink of an eye, he had moved.
"Why did you bring me here?" Kashel asked Liam. Kashel did not know if the person had teleportation abilities.
What kind of ability he really is, why is he curious about me this weak one. Inner Kashel felt very unlucky, having to deal with Liam.
Lyam was famous for his arrogance he would not hesitate to be rude to people who annoyed him but he never bothered others first, except for Kashel.
He was also feared by people in his class even shunned. But Liam doesn't care, because he has no purpose here other than to try to be a human child.
What dream did I have last night, why should he be interested in me among many people. Inner Kashel, he felt depressed.

"Prepare yourself, if you don't use a barrier spell you'll be seriously injured." Kashel heard the words of Lyam.
"Tu-wait a minute, let me prepare first!" Kashel frantically waved his hand. At first Kashel thought of running away because she was sure magic would be of no use to her.
But when he saw that Liam had unleashed his ability Kashel immediately swallowed his bitter saliva, he forgot that Liam's strength was already different from that of the other Boundary Knights. Though such abilities should not be allowed to exist, but why is Liam allowed. Kashel did not understand the truth, and did not want to know to look for safety.

Kashel burning his spell paper means he has activated his protective spell.
Kashel intended to escape but Lyam's attack was quite directional and of course directly hit Kashel, but strangely the power was absorbed into Kashel's protective spell.
Kashel was surprised that such a great power possessed him, and so did Liam, who felt his power being withdrawn. The curious Lyam tried to attack Kashel again.
"Be-stop!" Kashel asked loudly at this time, he had never felt such a great power, instead being broken the spell of Kashel's barrier instead strengthened when it was hit by Lyam's attack.
Lyam then strengthened his attack out of curiosity with his attack which was absorbed by Kashel. Because of that impromptu attack Kashel was of course a reflex to make a resistance, with his still-active protective spell.
This time Lyam actually felt her magic energy being absorbed by Kashel's protective spell. It immediately shook Liam's feelings. Lyam felt an empty space on Kashel's body.
"What's this?" kashel muttered in surprise, he sensed that there was a vast empty space within him. And now that place is slowly absorbing the magic energy of Liam.
"I can't take it anymore, cu-kup." Kashel said stammeringly. The power of Liam now felt flowing in his body, Kashel could not stop the barrier because the power of Liam was sucked not reflected, or blocked as it should be.
"Begging" Kashel was seen panting and sitting limp. But even so the barrier he created could not be stopped. Kashel got out of control over his own barrier. Lyam's attack power instead turned into magic energy that strengthened Kashel's barrier spell.
"I won't stop him now" Lyam did not forgive Kashel, curious as to where Kashel was able to receive his great power.
"Gurgh!" Kashel was visibly suffering, rather than being in actual pain but Kashel was frustrated at the immense force he never felt flowing through his body.
Kashel felt that Lyam's power would burst from his body, fearing that it would cause a stir around Kashel to hold him back so that the power would not explode and wreak havoc, even though he was suffering.
"Please stop Lyam. I'm not strong anymore." Kashel is weak now.
Suddenly now Kashel saw a gigantic dragon of the very large body of Liam.
Kashel thought it was the guardian spirit of Liam, and then Kashel realized it was Liam himself. But Kashel was not too sure because of his vague form.
Their power is resonating now. Kashel was scared to death, and he saw a deep darkness around Liam.
Lyam saw the light from Kashel's body, a pure and warm light. From there Lyam saw all the sorrow of Kashel, but the pure heart of Kashel still dispelled and dispelled the sorrow hoping that one day he would find happiness. He wants to live a normal life in the future.
"Is this the child's wish, I can't bear to take it away now." For the first time Lyam felt compassion for humans. Because of Kashel's strong desire.
"I'll give it time, I can't take away this kid's wishes." Lyam muttered to himself, he felt the darkness in him diminish and even disappear.
"I'm sorry, I'll take away the thing you want the most Kashel." Suddenly their resonating power was cut off abruptly, Kashel was aghast by it.
Kashel was terrified just because he was looking at Liam. Kashel still could not speak as he had to catch his breath.
Lyam wanted to extend her hand to help Kashel stand up.
Whereas Kashel thought he would no longer duel with Liam using his magical abilities, it was better to be beaten into pieces than to see the giant monster covered in darkness. Kashel felt himself being swallowed by the darkness.
"You have the great ability of Kashel," Lyam praised Kashel's ability while still extending his hand.
"You, who are you?" Kashel would not accept Liam's hand.
"Who do you think I am?" Lyam looked at Kashel with her sharp red eyes.
Kashel was still doubtful about his thoughts on Liam, he could not directly accuse Liam of not being human just because of what he saw earlier.
Kashel was willing to accept Liam's hand hoping that after this, Liam would no longer bother him so he wanted to part with the man well.
Bzzz!
When their hands were interlocked it felt like there was a flow of electricity connecting each other.
Kashel quickly took it off and immediately ran away without saying anything. She's terrified.
"What was that?" once again he saw the shadow of a gigantic dragon faintly standing before him.
Kashel's chest and body were very hot, the influence of Liam's magic energy did not completely disappear at that time, for a moment Kashel's inner eye was opened due to the influence of Liam's magic energy.
The shocked and depressed Kashel fell unconscious afterwards.
