Chapter 42 - Familiar Faces (2/2)

The founder of the Vigilante broke no sweat in dodging the incoming attack by the Dark Mage.

”Hold up, Angry Man! 600 years into the future... And you are nevertheless this angry,” replied Raiyen, panting.

”Get a hold of yourself, Baldwin. Have you forgotten what Mage he is?” commanded Mavislin.

The adolescent boy shuddered at her words. Since when her words sounded this ruthless? Raiyen looked at Mavislin with trepidation. He felt something was distinctive. She maintained the consistent authoritative voice as Ysabeau back in his time.

”Fair enough,” murmured Baldwin.

”Bad enough we've lost a quarter of our armies. We don't need you to provoke any fights of your accord. Have I made myself clear?!” bellowed Mavislin.

The Dark Mage saluted out of habit. He was hesitant as he gave another glance towards the Time Mage.

”Accordingly, uh, where is Gillian?” asked Raiyen, scratching his head out of the unpleasant situation.

”USSR.”

Raiyen seemed confused at that answer but nodded along with it. He would probably figure it out next time.

”So, where's the current me?”

”Singapore. You are in charge of Asian ground.”

”Even Asia is under siege?”

”That's why its called 'World War', mate.”

”Well, this matter aside, we've got problems of our own. Ysabeau, I trust in your judgment,” said Mavislin, offering an appreciative smile towards Ysabeau.

Ysabeau nodded and quickly hopped onto Fluffy's back. The duo then took it to the skies to continue the fighting.

”Baldwin, I am placing you at the front lines with the Knights. Don't let me down, Angry Man. If I find your Knights are not up to standard, I'll personally see to all of their execution. Got it?” asked Mavislin, looking hostile towards Baldwin.

”Don't worry, I'll utilize them as bait if I desire it,” replied Baldwin, summoning his coal-black horse.

The horse looked like a mirage of some sorts. It was hollow, made out of ashes and pure Dark Elements instead of flesh. The Head Knight rode off into the far end of the area, leaving a trail of Dark Elements in his tracks.

”Z and Raiyen, you are following me. I'll let the Pillars continue battle here,” authorized Mavislin, as she summoned her wings.
