Chapter 53 - Raiyen Triumphs (2/2)

”Come forth, protect my comrades. Dr.a.p.eau Sacré! (Holy Flag)” yelled Jeanette, spinning her banner to create a shield.

The princess was silent on the floor as she looked at the French Maiden perform the spell. For all she knows, it was not a grand idea to provoke these two in battle. None of them seem to bother caring about any spectators.

”It is possible you shouldn't have underestimated what are Mages capable of,” said the Holy Maiden, sternly.

In the intervening time, the torrent of smoky black arrows had made contact with Raiyen's attack. This created a huge trench within the surrounding land where the battle was held. As Raiyen's Elemental Energy dwarfed Mavislin's Monody, the Valkyrie had no choice but to throw up her last resort.

The massive explosion rendered the entire landscape decimated. Amongst the debris and sand, a solitary silhouette stood tall. Not even a single sweat was broken. The figure seemed unfazed as it walked through all the dust.

”So Valkyries are quite weak,” murmured Metria, looking around.

”I'll burn your tongue out if you don't find a way to keep your mouth shut soon,” hollered a voice within the dust cloud.

An inky shadow moved, effectively clearing the dust cloud. There, stood a very pissed off Valkyrie with a single wing high up in the air, while the other was limp, touching the ground. Her body was burnt, filled with bruises and blaze marks.

”Even after his most powerful?!” asked Metria, surprised.

Raiyen was equally shocked, but not for the aforementioned reason as the foreign princess. The Valkyrie was livid as she tried hoisting the limp wing. Raiyen glitched towards the girl, skidding through the land.

”You used your wing? Doesn't that hurt?' asked Raiyen, trying to aid the girl.

”Don't worry, damages to the wing are much less painful than direct damages to the rest of the body,” explained Mavislin, nevertheless trying to get herself out from the hole.

”Really?”

”Of course not, you numpty. Stop asking the obvious and get me out,” commanded Mavislin.

The Time Boy froze while offering a faint smile. Knowing that he had injured someone from the past this badly would mean a bunch of nasty abnormalities popping out. It might even damage his Time Stream.

Raiyen jumped into the ditch and lifted the wounded Valkyrie in a bridal style. Much to the exhausted girl's surprise.
