Chapter 147 - The Ark Of Regrouping (1/2)
”Why do you need to know the reason behind everything?” asked Baldwin, smiling through the blood-stained lips.
”At least I can remotely understand why you are all insane,” replied Old Man Pond.
”The Butterfly of Hope. The Symbol of Protection. The Power of the Mages. The Bond of Family. The Elements of the Great Five. The Cry of the Lark. The Barriers of the Heavens. The Wall of Strength. Heaven's God will test, so let this spell manifest! Tuar Ceatha ábhair!” yelled the Headmaster, hands clamped together.
As he plummeted his hands onto the ground, cracks appeared as the entire began to shake. However, the spell's destruction only applied to the enemy's minds. Baldwin and Z were utterly confused yet gave a small smile.
With the terrain warped and vibrating, the two continue to assault the weakened opponents. The only problem was that Gillian had to remain at the same spot for the spell to work. This meant he was open to attacks. The Corrupt Creature took notice and aimed straight at the vulnerable target.
”The Creation of the Cold. The Smallest of Particles. Freezing Dust!”
Snow Cap conjured the massive spell just in time, surrounding the Corrupted thing before it could attack.
Meanwhile, Nova was still fighting the memories that she had mustered up in her spell. There was only a barrier left. She needed to know the actual reason why the Arks were known to help others in the days to come. Why it was made. Sure, the voice had explained to her, but it wasn't the answer.
It was the answer to Nova's question but not the reason why they, the Founders, continue to push forward. The barrier needed a straightforward answer as to why the Founders continuously protected humans. She laughed as the answer struck her right in the face.
As Baldwin got another punch to the face, he smiled.
”You don't have to have a reason to save others. You save them because you want to. No shenanigans, no complex answers. You save and protect them because of your own free will, not because of some high and mighty reason.”
”What a joke,” replied the Commander, knocking Baldwin off from his feet.
Gillian had no choice but to leave the spell and help out.
”Nova! Are you alright?” yelled Raiyen, finally get her to wake up.
The Aura around her had changed drastically, her hands felt tingling. She gently opened her eyes, seeing that her mother had wrapped her whole body to protect her daughter.
”Mav had insisted to do this. In case the memories were too much, at least you would wake up with someone who can comfort you. Anyways, how's your progress?”
Nova nodded as she scanned the beast surrounding her.
”She's absorbed most of the effect, no need to worry.”
”I am ready to unleash the spell.”
”There won't be any going backs. It will create a fixed point in Time. You alright with that?”
”Yes.”
