Chapter 270 - Serenas Light and Johns Dark (2/2)

As he did, they were all able to see the monster's figure. There were a few holes on it's right arm, as the left seemed to have been completely blown off.

The monster had it's head hung down as it appeared to gaze at the cube beneath it. As John saw this, his gaze finally fell upon it. Thin golden wires set up around the room.

”This is...?” John muttered

As John stared at the wires, he noticed the traces of hydrogen around them, on top of that, heat could be felt coming from them. All doubt left his mind as Serena slowly walked up to his side.

”Thank you for that, but there was no need to stop that punch.” Said Serena as she looked straight at the demon.

Golden flames were formed above her head before taking unique shapes, all each pointed at the demon. Some took the shape of spears, others of arrows and the remaining ones of swords.

Golden weapons with heat radiating from it. John didn't know what to say, when was it that Serena had reached such a level?

Ariel who saw this was also speechless. She didn't know what to say. Was that really Serena? The air around her was different. More m.a.t.u.r.e, stronger, confident, elegant. Determined eyes which made it seem as if the very Serena who would always complain had m.a.t.u.r.ed.

On top of that, together with John, the air around them contradicted itself, but together, they looked powerful. The perfect team. As Ariel saw this, she clenched her fist before hanging her head.

”Serena... you-”

John was interrupted by Ariel who suddenly shouted

”Move... MOVE!!” As she slammed her hands on her legs once more.

For a moment, Everyone's attention had turned to Ariel who was suddenly staggering towards them.

”Hm...?” Master Sylvia let out with an amused smile on her face.

As Ariel was about the reach their side to help, words entered her ear, causing her to stop iin her tracks.

”Ariel, stay back.” Said Serena

Despite that, Ariel continued to walk again.

”But... I want to help...”

”Help? You can barely walk.”

”I can still walk... I'm a magician, I'll be fine...”

”Ariel-”

Serena was interrupted by Ariel who said

”Even still! When I see you two fighting, I don't just want to sit back and watch all because I'm too scared to move!” Said Ariel

Hearing this, Serena slowly turned back towards Ariel. She could see the determined look on her face. Whenever Ariel had that look, Serena knew it would be pointless to try and stop her.

”Ariel, the reason you can't walk isn't because of fear...” Serena muttered
