The Arks 186 The Ark Of Aetherial Bow

"Why do I always end up in situations that defy my lifestyle. What a pain in the neck to use this d.a.m.ned move. I'm an a.s.sa.s.sin, not an archer. If I wanted to be one, then I should've gone with Ysabeau."

Raiyen then shook his head.

"But this thing forced me to use something I hate. I honestly never thought this would be my last resort."

"Use what?"

"Snow Cap! Buy me some time!" yelled Raiyen.

"Says the Time Mage to the Ice Mage," complained Z.

Raiyen looked around and gave him a thumbs up.

"Oi! At least tell me what you're planning to do!" shouted Z, as he tilted his head to the boy.

"Using my trump card," answered Raiyen.

He then dived down, towards Tiamat's head and collected his surrounding Wind Elements.

"Bring glory to me. Bring the winds to my hands. Bring me the weapon of the Upper Skies..." chanted Raiyen as the winds started picking up.

It was hard to chant a spell when you were right on top of your enemy. But luckily, the Primordial Beast comes from another plane of existence. Her real body lies within an area that humanity cannot touch or go to, just like the Upper Skies. This made the Time Mage's job easier.

"Only those wield the Forbidden Elements are granted this weapon. Only those who master the art of Lost Elements are gifted this. The power of this weapon cannot be comprehended by those on Earth or in Heaven..."

The winds in his palm gathered and created a large bow, about the size of him. Its handle was painted lime green with cloud designs engraved onto it. Both upper and lower limbs were light blue and had a jagged design.

He held onto the grip of the bow. Instantly, he could feel the weapon feeding off from his Time Elemental Energy. As he drew the bowstring, the streams of his Elemental Energy gathered at the sight window of the bow.

"For I am the last Time Master. My entire existence is Time itself. This weapon is mine to behold. I draw thee, Aetherial Bow!" yelled Raiyen as the bow and arrow fully formed.

The arrow was nearly the same as the bow but straightened out. As a large shockwave emitted from his body, Tiamat started amping her defenses as well. Raiyen then glitched upwards to the sky and turned to aim the weapon at Tiamat's face.

"Dosura Star: Gleaming Pulverise!" shouted Raiyen as he released the arrow.

As the arrow flew down with immeasurable speeds, it morphed and opened a portal. As the large portal full activated within seconds, a torrent of light blue arrows rushed towards Tiamat's face. This branched out to hit the serpents around.

The number of arrows summoned was way more than Baldwin's Oblivion of Spears, Ysabeau's Archery of the Frosted Heavens or Mavislin's Monody. The best part of this spell is that it only drains the Time Boy's Energy to open the portal, not the number of arrows.

The arrows are drawn from the Upper Skies, so they are not made or created by Raiyen. This allowed the attack to last longer than his other spells. Raiyen left the originally opened portal to rush behind Tiamat's head. To Z's amazement, the first portal stayed opened.

Using glitch to his advantage, Raiyen opened up several more portals around Tiamat.

"No way, I had no idea that pipsqueak could use such power. Or open that many portals," said Z, with a shocked expression.

"What's that giant portal?" asked Ling as she regrouped to the Ice Mage.

"It's a doorway leading directly to the Upper Skies. Aether, they call it. Where both Heaven or Earth cannot touch. The realm beyond the skies."

Z pointed at the Time Mage.

"Only those who have been there could've grabbed out this drastic of a weapon. Which means that..."

A wave of sadness engulfed Z as he stumbled upon Raiyen's secret.

"You d.a.m.ned idiot. How did you manage to get there before me?" scolded Z as he looked at the magnificent scene in the sky.

With the Time Mage's Aura beaming out like a beacon and the torrent of arrows creating an arch against Tiamat's face, it created a very beautiful picture. As the colors clashed with one another, Z could not help but allow a tear to roll down his cheeks.

"Are you okay?" asked Ling, looking at Z.

The ice Mage quickly composed himself and wipe away the tear.

"Yea! I'm fine! Come on, let's get that thing down while Raiyen's keeping it busy," said Z.

"Way ahead of you, Igor," said Gab as he fired another round of his rifle.
