Seal of Light - Enlightened novel Chapter 17

Mat’s skin was replaced with this light form energy, even the clothes he wore turned into this. There were no traces of flesh left on him. This is the illumination of Mat Adam.

Mat leap in great speed, a normal person nor a carrier would have a hard time catching and following this level of speed. He passed thru Sieg’s body and soul-snatched Casus’Lucem out, pulling him in his massive dark cloud form.

Sieg, exhaustedly dropped the lifeless bodies of Summer and Willow. He unconsciously fell to his knees before landing face first on the ground.

“Oh no, am I too late, I can’t feel any amount of life force from them,” Mat thought while looking back to Sieg, Summer and Willow.

“I can’t feel Rigs’ or Jimmy’s presence too, have I gone too long?”

“Wait, there is still…, I could still sense her, Summer is still alive, and so is that Sieg guy, they are still there, but the other girl, I think she’s really gone.”

“Impossible! You are supposed to be dead?” Casus’Lucem roared as he slowly takes a much enormous and terrifying form. The black massive cloud faded away revealing his new fully build and tightened red body, glowing with red and black flames all over. He is now trice the length of an ordinary human. He still has this sharp teeth and a pair of horns on his forehead, his eyes were all black with a red dot pupil.

Mat was still dragging Casus’Lucem away from where they left, even after the demon regained back his physical form.

Casus’Lucem tried to wrestle against the much smaller body of Mat while still being dragged away. He noticed someone running from a different direction. It was Jimmy, and it seems like he his heading to his brother’s location.

Casus extended his right arm and started to build up a black mass of energy, this is strong enough to kill Jimmy. Mat saw this and made a strong grip against the extended arm of Casus.

This is the first time after a very long time, that the Demon lord felt pain as if all the bones in his arm where broken by Mat’s feisty grip. The energy build up on the Demon’s hand was dissolved.

“Impossible, how could you be this strong? I am a Demon lord, and you are just a mere human, how could you possibly do such thing?” Casus’Lucem yelled as his right arm swing back in numbness from Mat’s grip.

Mat maneuvered and ended pounding Casus’Lucems’ face to the ground, creating a large crater in the process.

“How dare you Mat Adam, you will pay for this, I will…”

Mat quickly drew and slashed his ki-blade, dismembering Casus’Lucem’s right hand leaving the Demon lord agonizing in pain.

“You will do nothing,” Mat mocked while standing still in his illuminated form with his ki-blade still torching out from his fist.

“He cut my arm without using the Divine Flaming Sword, he just used his own ki-blade to do this, who is this Mat Adam?” Casus’Lucem thought

Mat faced his right side and focused on where he left his fallen comrades. He was a bit surprised to see what Jimmy was doing to them at the moment.

“That young boy Jimmy, what is he doing there? I feel a different reading on his powers. Quite interesting, but I hope it is not what I think it is.”

Mat watched further as Jimmy tried to revive Sieg and Summer with his own style of instilling energy and regeneration. The next action gave Mat the real surprise. He saw how Jimmy revived the other girl, Willow, and then helping her stands back to her feet. It was like reviving her with no effort at all.

“Is it necromancy?” Mat asked.

Suddenly, demon wings came up and walloped Mat, enclosing him nearer to Casus’ body.

“I don’t know how you got this strong, Mat Adam, but you cannot simply defeat me with this.”

A concentrated black spirit ball build up once again thru Casus’ horn while pointing it to Mat who was still strangled to the demon’s wings.

“You should have stayed dead Mat. I will make sure you will not come back again after this!” Casus screamed as the mass of energy grew larger, even larger that his body.

Summer, Sieg, Jimmy, and the newly revived Willow saw the giant mass of black energy from afar, they knew Mat was there and he is in deep trouble again.

“Oh no, take cover everyone!” Sieg yelled

Everyone was able to produce their own spiritual barrier as this nuclear like explosion came upon them, the impact was so strong, their barriers broke from the pressure and it dissolved quickly. But it somehow reduced the damage that was dealt to them.

“That… that was a very strong blast, we could have died instantly if we didn’t pull out our spiritual barriers,” Sieg anxiously said while looking at the fissure trace of the blast on the ground.

“Mat was there, let’s go help him,” Summer said while tending her arms.
