Chapter 14:
We ran past a few people who were fighting. Wendy and Romeo had just caught up to their opponent. We followed after them.
"Why did you destroy our guild hall?!" Romeo yelled.
"Oh, that was just for fun. Are real targets are Cat and Chloe. You don't seem willing to hand them both over. So I'm going to have to take them by force" the boy with orange hair smirked.
We all got into a battle stance. I tightened my grip on the spear.
"Checkered Realm." He stated blankly.
Just then, my vision warped. I looked around. I was alone in a place filled with checkered patterns.
"Hello?" I asked aloud.
Suddenly, a wave of water hit my backside. I toppled over. Juvia? I whipped around. No one was there.
"Anyone?! Can you hear me?!" I yelled.
A whirlwind knocked me off my feet. Again, I hit the floor. Was that Wendy? I turned around. No one was there. What was going on?!
A flame hurled it's self at me. I was on the floor again. Romeo? Suddenly, my surroundings blurred, then cleared.
That's when I realized, this was all an illusion isn't it? Maybe if I attack my surroundings, I might get somewhere.
My fist glowed, I punched the walls. My vision blurred. I repeatedly punched it. Suddenly, my vision warped. I was back in the field.
"Impressive. No one has escaped my illusions before. I am Chavez, the illusionist. I will never lose"
I quickly glanced behind me. Wendy, Juvia, Lisanna, and Romeo were laying motionless on the ground. Their eyes were a pearly white. Occasionally, a burst of their magic would pop out of them and splatter on someone else. I guess they were still stuck inside the illusion.
"Mirrored Realm" He blankly stated.
My vision warped again. This time, I was surrounded by millions of mirrors. My fist collided with its smooth surface. Thousands of cracks spilled across the mirrors, yet they did not break.
Great. I was stuck. Yay...not. I tightened my grip on the spear once more. The spear...That's it!
"Spear of White. Multiply. Shatter" I commanded.
Spears surrounded me, suddenly, they all shattered. Their pieces smashed into the mirrors, ultimately ripping the illusion apart. My vision warped. I was back again.
"Impossible..." Chavez was stunned.
I took this as my opportunity. I lunged forward, throwing my fist directly into his nose. He fell to the floor, unconscious.
"What happened?" Wendy asked.
They all slowly woke up. As thwy stood up I quickly explained what happened. Despite being dazed they were all still ready to fight.
Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a shiny marble roll out of Chavez's pocket. I picked it up. A small silver and white marble sparkled in the setting sunlight. I lifted up my spear. I noticed a small hole in the center of the head. Instinctively, I popped the marble inside of it. Just then, the spear glowed white, then it quickly disappeared. I gripped onto the shaft. I felt a bit more powerful than I was before...
