The Arks 34 Poison Vs Wind Vs Ligh

The Old Commander was at a disadvantage as he tried dodging the attacks in mid-air. Ysabeau looked cold, unfazed at the fact her Aura was increasing by the second. The more Aura she produces, the easier for her to run out Elemental Energy. As the two clashed, they paid no heed towards the Valkyrie who was closing in on them.

"Looks like you are thoroughly unhappy, seeing your previous boss here," smirked Old Man Pond, blocking Ysabeau's arrows.

"Who wouldn't be after witnessing their children getting attacked?!" yelled Ysabeau.

The woman flipped upside down to launch a torrent of arrows straight at Old Man Pond. He smiled as he deflected the attacks with ease.

"Hmm... Let's see if you can match up to this!" challenged Old Man Pond, extending his hands.

Two serpents emerged from his extended palms, eliminating no time in a.s.saulting Ysabeau with Poison attacks. As she flew around, the serpents were able to keep up with her agility. Ysabeau was busy with the Old Commander's pets, so that left Mavislin and Old Man Pond alone.

"You don't have to sneak around anymore, Valkyrie," said the Poison Commander, pointing at Mavislin.

A Poison cloud engulfed the Valkyrie as Old Man Pond flicked his fingers. With one forceful movement, her wings were able to disperse the spell. As the cloud cleared, the Commander launched himself towards Mavislin. As expected, the girl had her Fire Feather Whip out and ready.

"Expected from the Child of Valokia," remarked the man, who grabbed hold of the whip and plucked it out of her grasp.

Mavislin was instantly propelled into the sky, allowing the subsequent attack to be from Ysabeau.

"Don't touch my kids!" roared Ysabeau, summoning her Ancient Relic.

Rukh came out, fully grown as Ysabeau hopped on its back. The two clashed, time and time again. They were nimble, giving a hard time for Mavislin to help. When Ysabeau and Fluffy were thrown back onto the ground, Mavislin halted the man's attacks.

"Back to you, huh? I was observing you, in the tryouts. You were remarkable," said Old Man Pond, allowing his pets to remain as his weapons.

Mavislin wiped a bead of sweat from her face. This was undeniably a formidable foe to deal with. His Aura alone was able to weaken the Valkyrie's offensive attacks. If battling Z was difficult, then this was virtually impossible.

Compared to Old Man Pond, Z could not hold up a candle towards him. Mavislin recognized that the best, so she braced herself to use an Alter Magecraft. Or the first proper use of her Ancient Relic.

"We could strike an alliance. We don't have to fight," said Old Man Pond, making Mavislin clench her fists.

"Yeah right. There's no way I'm siding with a being who wants to bring back the Great n.o.ble War onto Earth," replied Mavislin, standing at the position to unleash her Ancient Relic.

Streams of water started to rise into the skies, as well as from the nearby clouds, all gathering within Mavislin's hands. A mirage was forming, allowing a vulnerable attack from the Old Commander. Ysabeau clashed with him just in time, giving Mavislin enough time to finish the spell.

"All waves rise and become my shield. From depths of Okeanos, grant me the protection of the waves. Ruled by Neptune, son of Poseidon, the G.o.d of the sea. The lost legend, Lord Atlantia!" chanted Mavislin.

The shield appeared in front of her, in full force. As Ysabeau flew to the side, Mavislin got ready to attack with the Old Commander.

"New spells. I marvel how they would match up to prior ones! Poison Cyclone!" yelled Old Man Pond, as a huge vortex of Poison Element shot out from his mouth.

Mavislin ran back, only to abruptly confront the enemy.

"Howl of the Valkyries!"

A similar attack erupted from Mavislin's mouth, only that the spell was pure white. When the two Elements collided, a shockwave was created.

"Hail, the billions of stars that gathered! Gaze upon its glory! I invoke thee, Kalasag ng Milky Way! (Aegis of the Milky Way)" conjured Z, saving the townsfolk from the shockwave that decimated the trees around them.

"You saved us? But why?" asked a villager.

Z looked at the man with a raised eyebrow, scratched his silly face for a bit and smiled.

"Mercy, I guess. It would be a waste for the people who we are going to work within the future to forfeit their lives due to this minor problem," explained Z.

"It's called 'Compa.s.sion'. You'll learn to utilize it next time. For the present, we'll demonstrate to you how it's done," said Raiyen, extending a hand out to the villager.
