Chapter 163 - The Ark Of Viscountess Ling Snaps (1/2)

Mavislin had enough power to fight, but not the right Magecraft or strategy to be victorious. As the Valkyrie's Elemental Energy started to wane, the rest of the group was done for.

Vernice was unable to move and had run out of bullets. Z was barely breathing and the Valkyrie was hanging on to the fight. One good attack and she would be down for the count as well. Mavislin summoned up her Ancient Relic but that was quickly turned into the Umbra's weapon.

”Water Scythe,” chanted the Umbra, as it made a gigantic scythe.

It then plunged the giant, water blade into the Valkyrie's abdomen. Mavislin's eyes widened, coughing up blood as the Umbra sadistically moved the scythe about. Once the Umbra ran her through, it pulled the scythe out.

But in a horrific twist, the Umbra used the scythe and pierced it through the Valkyrie's chest. It then swung the scythe towards the wall. The Valkyrie flew out of the blade and was tossed beside Z. Blood continued to pour out from the still Valkyrie.

Her eyes remained closed, covered by her fringe. Her Elemental Aura ceased.

”Finally caught up with you!” yelled Gab, waving at the still Time Mage.

”What's wrong?” asked the Earl.

”I can no longer track down or sense Mavislin's Elemental Energy...”

The Time Mage's body trembled with fear. He looked down at his hands. They were quaking.

”This can't be... Even with Z around... I couldn't protect her?” asked Raiyen, tears threatening to come out.

Gab went at him and struck him right at the top of his head.

”Snap out of it! If we don't get a move on, then all of them are good as dead!” chided Gab, pulling on the poor Time Boy's arm.

”But I can't find her Aura. When a Mage loses their Aura, it means that they are...”

”Have you forgotten?” asked Gab, cracking a smile.

”What?”

”Mavislin's a Valkyrie. What are the Valokians masters of?” asked Gab, running towards the domain of Urnsfield.

It took the poor Time Mage a while to process the information. After his mini revelation, he smiled.

”And likewise, we've got the best close-quarters fighter over with Mavislin. With her there, the battle there is good as won.”

”Vernice?” asked Raiyen, regaining his composure.
