Chapter 139 - The Ark Of The Blade And Shield (1/2)
The reason for the program was simple, to create and duplicate more of the case that started the fracture of both sides. The Husks were meant to hold the Corrupt Aura and spread it by touch. Low-level Mages had succ.u.mbed to the Corrupt Auras, causing another mass war.
This time, it was a war within the Mages' area. By the time the second battle rolled around due to this problem, the Congregation was almost non-existent while the Pentacle Arks were starting to rise in both power and popularity ranks.
It was subtle but everyone knew that it was time for the Congregation to fall and let the new generation take over. But it was to every Mage's surprise when Old Man Pond, the founder of the Congregation, stepped forward to say a single sentence.
Those few words reminded everyone why it wasn't a great idea to provoke those who reign powerful. It made them realize how cruel and ruthless can one be if they were high enough within the ranks.
It made them realize that the Mages that were responsible for taking care of everyone truly did not bother if others were dead or alive. And that they should now be very afraid.
”Is there no way to hurt this guy?!” asked Raiyen, glitching back to Mavislin's side.
Forget about trying to defeat the Old Man; laying a single scratch on him currently poses a great difficulty towards the three of them now.
”Stand back! I'm gonna try this thing out now!” yelled Raiyen, spinning on the spot.
Mavislin and Baldwin retreated, Old Man Pond raised an eyebrow as he remained in the same position. Raiyen stomped his foot, dragging it along the ground around him. As the circle started to glow, three different Auras were produced from the Time Mage.
Baldwin was in awe while Ysabeau was impressed once again. Mavislin, however, looked concerned. He had pulled that move before; back when they were all trying out their newly formed Ancient Relics.
At that time, Baldwin easily withstood the attack, while it took Raiyen everything he had. If Baldwin was unfazed by the attack, then Old Man Pond would cancel out the attack even before it could be unleashed.
”Time! Electric! Nature! These are the elements I wield, I command. Come forth, bind yourselves and become one. Voltaic Creation Era!” yelled out the Time Mage.
The circle he had drawn earlier had fragmented into three parts, each being the source of the different powerful auras. Nova watched in awe as the circles' glowing colors, green, blue and yellow, were visible from the sky.
The circle then erupted into a pillar of light, with its top converging back into the interior, where Raiyen stood, holding his palm in the air. As the mixture came into fruition, it launched towards its prime target.
