Chapter 13 - Array Vs Oasis (1/2)

”Windfall!” yelled Mavislin.

The wind started to weigh heavily on Z, making him drop to his knees. Mavislin took the chance to charge towards him and tried to deal the finishing blow. Yet, she was forced to a halt as he prepared a spell under his breath.

”Hail, the billions of stars that gathered! Gaze upon its glory! I invoke thee, Kalasag ng Milky Way! (Aegis of the Milky Way) ”

Within a fraction of a second, a huge spiral of glowing little lights appeared in front of Z, forcefully propelled the Valkyrie towards the opposite direction. She steadied herself using her wings. He then grabbed hold of one end of the spiral and swung it. This made the spell unravel and extend, creating a huge, flowing whip of stars.

”A dynamic spell, huh? How many tricks you got up in your arsenal?” she asked, wiping the sweat above her forehead.

The wings were taking a toll on her Elemental Energy.

”You're one to talk, Princess. You specialize in Amalgamation of Elements. Compared to me, you have a whole lot more within your stockpile,” he replied, standing up albeit shakily.

She smirked as she steadied herself once more.

”Well, it's only fair. A spell for a spell!” shouted the energetic child.

”And it's going to be hell,” said Z, retracting his whip once more.

Bringing out her Fire Feather Whip to combat the beautiful whip that Z held, the two kept clashing with great speed. The wh.i.p.s were getting tangled with each other but since they were not solid, these problems were fixed rather easily. With the wh.i.p.s dancing in mid-air, Mavislin managed to get a small opening at the side of Z, directly aiming at the area.

”Too soon!” yelled Z, smirking.

He then used his bare hands to brace the impact of the flaming whip, much to Mavislin's surprise.

”No one has been ever able to do that...” wondered the poor girl, flying back down.

”Well, I'm the one that can. An attribute of having Void's Emergence. Not only it gives me weapons to use, but it also gives me the ability to amp up my body's defenses,” explained Z.

Mavislin was still shocked as she understood what that meant.
