Chapter 137 - The Ark Of Pond Is Back (1/2)

”Meaning?”

”If the Aura's song is louder than the rest, it would mean that the Mage would be significantly very powerful.”

”Could it be the effect of Baldwin's Dark Aura? His power is quite difficult to estimate,” reasoned Ysabeau, shrugging the worries off.

The Princess shook her head.

”I've thought about that too, but it doesn't seem so. And besides, there's a single word bothering me as well. Not a memory but just a single word,” replied Nova, closing her eyes again.

”And what word would that be?”

Nova was silent for a few seconds before opening her eyes.

”Pond.”

Ysabeau's eyes turned dark the moment she heard those words. Her hands gripped hard onto Fluffy, causing the bird to squawk loudly.

”I'm gonna take a look at Fluffy, something went wrong,” said Mavislin, taking off once more.

Raiyen, Baldwin, and Matias stood near each other, attacking enemies within a huge radius.

”What happened? Why was Fluffy so noisy?” asked Mavislin, approaching the girls.

Ysabeau's expression was filled with worry as she relayed the information to Mavislin.

”And so?”

”Old Man Pond is back.”

When those words left the High Queen's mouth, Mavislin immediately dived down, towards the battle below. A huge cloud of lime green smoke blanketed the area. Baldwin was unfazed, but the same could not be said for the rest.

One by one, the reinforcement troops began to fall. Fluffy was forced to go higher, rendering the two women on the creature unable to see the battlefield.

”It's gonna kill them! We have to help,” pleaded Nova.

Ysabeau flared out, showing off her Aura slightly. This caused Nova to buckle.

”My orders were to take care of you. Your parents are old enough to handle themselves. Besides, you'll die even before you can see the enemy,” warned Ysabeau, voice thundering through the clouds.

Nova shivered slightly at the aggressive High Queen. Meanwhile, Raiyen was trying desperately control the Poison Cloud but had been overwhelmed. Mavislin swooped in and grabbed the Time Boy by the collar.

”Need some assistance?” asked the playful Mage, sparing through and above the Cloud.

”I'll try to control this using my Earth Elements,” explained Raiyen, looking at the mess below.

”No point,” replied the flying Mage.

”And why not?” asked Baldwin, who calmly stepped out of the fog like it was nothing.
