Chapter 33 - Congregations Old Commander (1/2)

”Adhere to my plea. Forge the protection I demand. Howling winds. Corrupt flora. Black Lotus Of The Storm!” shouted Gillian.

An enormous black flower blossomed, both blocking and absorbing the icy attack, likewise. It had grown mightier before it exploded towards the direction of Ysabeau. She hastily placed her wings up as a defense.

”No way...” said Raiyen, looking at the shield before Gillian.

”What? You've seen the spell before?” asked Z.

”That's the upgraded version of Black Wave Hibiscus. I know of the spell. I barely gained a clue that the Headmaster is capable of wielding it,” explained Raiyen.

Concurrently, the onlookers from the town beneath the sparring field had gathered to observe the sparring session. The fighting session had also earned them a spectator from the old Congregation.

More specifically, the Old Commander of the Congregation. Raiyen had spotted the fluctuation of Aura within the crowd and stood on guard.

”Don't,” warned Mavislin, placing her hand on the boy's shoulder.

He blinked in confusion but heeded her warning.

”If he was the one who hired Gillian and reared him, what makes you think we could stand a chance of challenging him?” she asked, bluntly.

The Time Boy's constant moving implied he was starting to itch.

”Is the man's Aura rubbing on you?” asked Mavislin, nudging the boy's shoulder.

The Time Mage nodded as he laid down on the cloth that they had on the grass. She massaged the boy's temples gently. He seemed to be turning green.

”If they maintain this, Raiyen might be unable to take it,” said Mavislin, worriedly.

Three arduous powers within a distinct radius. Add one more in, and Raiyen is going to be down for the count. Baldwin came back, just enough to protect the duo from the oncoming ambush from the Old Commander.

”Been a while, eh? Old Man Pond,” addressed Baldwin, along with a mischievous smile plastered on his face.

Z tried drawing his Kunais while Mavislin prepared to strike the Commander down.

”Don't you dare step in, the both of you. Even if with your combined powers and feelings, it still won't be enough to match up to this man's powers. Focus on Raiyen's wellbeing first,” ordered Baldwin, striking the man with his spear.
