172 Angel: Level 2 (2/2)

”She can use chant-less magic...?!”

”John, back me up.” Said Master Sylvia as she got in the counter stance

Hearing this John got into the counter stance and let out a sigh to calm himself down and empty his mind before he said

”Understood.”

For a moment it looked like the girl vanished, If John hadn't had his eyes glued to her, he wouldn't have seen it.

She leapt at them. With his senses focused on her sudden movement, John and Master Sylvia both matched each other's movement as they shifted their balance to move their body in the last second the avoid her.

It was the most basic move in the counter stance and the very first he learnt for said stance, yet it was also one of the most useful.

As she passed by them, the wind spears which she had formed were propelled at the two. Master Sylvia cut the ones aimed at her but when John swung his dagger to cut the ones aimed at him, it went right through it.

Or more precisely, It suddenly split from two spears into four so the dagger ended up missing.

[!]

As they were all about to reach John's head, it suddenly dispersed

”Verum Ventus clypeus” Translation: True Wind Shield

Right before it hit him, John formed a wind shield which managed to cancelled out the wind attack.

[That was close...]

John quickly recomposed himself and entered back into the stance, and as he did so, he lost track of the girl.

He had taken his eyes off of her for a single moment, and in that single moment, he lost track of her

[Where is she?]

He wondered as he looked around, then when he turned around, he noticed that she was behind him currently involved in a clash with Master Sylvia.

John felt useless, without 'Possession' He had no hopes of keeping up with them, but he didn't want to sit back and do nothing.

[Fulgurationem]

Once more, John joined in the clash while pushing his body to go even further with the help of Fulgurationem.

As he did so, the Electricity currents around his body became more visible and shocking, and his hair began to rise up.

But before it could completely Rise up, his electricity boost ended, and his movements returned to normal.

John couldn't believe what was happening, he last 5 seconds longer than before with 'Lightning Flash' which is something he only lasts 3 seconds at most when he's not using the dark version.

Now that his body was getting more used to the spell due to his constant uses, he was starting to be able to use it for a longer period of time

With a nervous smile formed on his face, John realised that the only way he could possibly be of use now, would be by improving his current spells.
