Chapter 104 - The Ark Of Primordial Beasts (2/2)
”She wasn't strong enough to beat me using such godlike powers. So I took it for myself.”
”You're lying! She couldn't have lost against the likes of you.”
The Valkyrie was undeniably pissed at the boastful Umbra.
”Well, you thought wrong.”
The Wakizashi was soon engulfed by a purple dust cloud. The area around them had also changed, from being in the Valkyrie's favor to siding with the Umbra in the current moment. The Umbra closed its eyes, appearing to summon up a strong spell.
”She's the embodiment of despair... She trails a smog of utmost turmoil and jeers... Lamented souls lay clinging onto her feet, unable to move on. She consumed the world, collecting those poor, unfortunate souls as trophies...”
The Elemental Aura was suffocating as the incantation was chanted. The Umbra then shouted out the rest of the incantation.
”Door of the Sunken Shipwreck: Celeste!”
”Damn it!”
Mavislin summoned up her shield once more, to brave the oncoming tide of chaos.
”Abyssal Fog!”
As soon as the thing yelled the last few words, the area exploded into a mass of darkness. Thick, purple fog engulfed the two, making it hard for them to battle. The Umbra was used to this thickness of fog but the Valkyrie was beginning to waver from the fight.
”Looks like a fog isn't your thing, eh?”
A voice appeared at her left but the attack came from the back, leading to a fatal slash on her wings. She winced in pain as her wings still needed more time to fully recover. Though it had recovered on the surface, it was still not ready to use as a shield.
She quickly turned, ready to return the attack but was instead met with more thick fog. This infuriated the Valkyrie. And the Umbra's laugh did not help at all. She leaped through the fog once more, trying to find the source of that laughter.
”It'll take more than that to defeat me in my planet's environment,” grinned the Umbra as it landed another slash.
”Shine! The light of Valkyries!” exclaimed Mavislin as she plunged the lance into the thick fog.
A pillar of light appeared, surrounding the Valkyrie. It then managed to disperse the entire area of its clouds.
”I expected no less from the last child of Valokia,” praised the Umbra.
