86 Chapter 34: Think again! (2/2)
I hadn't checked on them since the beginning of the 2nd stage and I was getting a bad feeling
”Wait!” said the brown haired girl as she grabbed on to my arm
”What?” I asked
”Tell me your name” She said
”John” I replied
”John... I'm elora, thank you for the help” She said
”It was mutual help, no need to thank me, And nice to meet you, elora” I replied
”Nice to meet you too” She replied happily
I guess the saying enemies today and friends tomorrow is rather accurate...
”Huh? What's that?” Asked Elora as she pointed towards the direction i was headed
”What?” I asked as i looked over
A black cube could be seen in between the fights, what is that?
'Deprehendre'
I used deprehendre and found the magic traces of my party inside
Oi... Are you serious?! They're inside of that thing?!
”This is an announcement, 30 players remain, We are now moving on to the 3rd and final stage, I repeat, we are now moving onto the 3rd and final stage”
”Wait! I have to help them!”
Light particles covered our bodies and we were teleported
------------------------------------------------------
”Damn it... this is one sided...” muttered Serena as she started to pant
”We havent been able to get a single hit in...” Muttered ariel who also seemed to be getting tired
They simultaneously jumped side ways barely avoiding the shadow spikes which rose up from the ground beneath them
Eleanor watched as they both circled him while keeping a distance
[One moment... If I can just buy them a single moment...] She thought as she watched
As if she had thought of an idea, Eleanor began chanting
”Ariel!” Said Serena
”Right!” Ariel replied
The two girls started to fake chant
[Do I use that...? But if he enters his shadow... I'll have to hit him with something which he won't see coming...] Thought Ariel as she continued to fake chant
Suddenly, Ariel stopped circling him and ran straight at him
Seeing this he started to chant. He was a fast chanter, and could chant silently too, although they could outspeed him
”Ventus!” muttered Ariel once she was around 15 feet away from him
From this range he won't be able to-
”Advanced Dark magic: Tenebris Clypeus” Translation: Dark Shield
”?!”
A Small dark sphere surrounded his whole body, it took the attack from ventus and not even a scratch was formed on it
However, Ariel didn't stop, she kept running with a plan in mind, All she needed to do was get close enough
10 feet wasn't enough, she needed to be a single step away from him
But getting closer was a mistake, she was now 7 feet away from him, when all of the sudden, long pointy spikes extended from the shield,
With the adrenaline and heightened senses, it was as if she was watching it in slow motion, But it was faster than her
Her heart beat got faster and faster as the spikes got closer. Even knowing that there were healers on standby, she felt danger and fear.
Instinctively, She as much power as she could on to her legs and leapt back, however the spikes continued to extend and didn't show any signs of slowing down
At the same time, Eleanor who watched had finished chanting her spell
[Please make it in time...]
”Advanced light magic: Sancti lumine” Translation: Holy light
A ray of light was formed in front of Eleanor's hands and at the speed of light, reached the small gap in between Ariel and the Shadow spike
In that instant, the shadow spike crumbled and Ariel safely backed away
”Thank you, eleanor” Said Ariel as she took deep breaths once she far from his range
Eleanor couldn't hear what ariel said as she didn't say it loud enough and she was far, but understood the meaning
”No worries” Said Eleanor as she showed Ariel a thumbs up
[I knew it... Shadow magic is weak against light if I create an opening we'll be able to win] Thought eleanor as she started chanting
”But...” Eleanor muttered
At that moment the two girls had the same thought in mind
[Where's serena?]
”I never expected you three to last this long... I was told to hold back, but I guess I have no choice... but it's over.” said the guy as he started to chant something from inside of of his dark Sphere defence
”Think again.” Said Serena as she pointed up
The voice came from above, they all looked up and couldn't believe what they were seeing
Around 50 fire arrows was formed in the air above her
She landed on her feet and felt goosebumps travel through her whole body
[The landing was too rough...] Thought serena
”Eleanor!”
”Right!”
Eleanor had already started chanting from the moment she saw Serena in the air
”Advanced light magic: Holy light!”
In an instant, a ray of light was sent straight at the Dark sphere shield
It made a small opening on the top which was big enough for them
”Go!” Shouted Serena as she swung her hand down
All the 50 arrows were propelled straight at him from above
[Even if his shield is strong, there's no way it can handle all of these arrows and with Eleanor's spell it's been weakened, It's our win!]
”Saint Class Dark Magic: Magnify Cube tenebris” Translation: Dark Cube
”Eh?” unintentionally let out Serena with a confused expression
*Boom*
