Chapter 167 - The Ark Of Band Of Clowns (1/2)

”Viscountess Li Ling. You are the King of Pankration, a hand-to-hand combat expert. Knowledgeable in all types of martial arts around the globe, your got-to type is Pankration. Though you aren't proud of it, I can say that it's quite good compared to the rest.”

”Good?” asked Ling, in a small voice.

”Yea. The rarer the technique, the harder it is for newcomers to counter. Mix in some other forms of fighting and you've got an unbeatable fighting style that best suits you. So, don't be afraid to show off what you can do.”

For a long time, the Viscountess could finally summon up a smile full of hope and wonder.

”And last but not least, youngest out of the Five, Duchess Vernice Midford. You are the King of Guns. You mostly act as a backup sniper, right? But I heard you are trying to change to pistols and revolvers,” asked Mavislin, looking at Vernice.

”How?”

”Minwoo and Baldwin, along with the couple planned out this alliance years ago. I was there as a young child. But, as I grew older and learned how to control my powers, it was when the Arks had been established. Baldwin relinquished the responsibility of the alliance with the Five Kings, to me.”

”And in turn, I had to read about the way the Five Kings' functioned as a whole. So, Marquess Dalles passed down some information to me to use to my battle knowledge.”

”Hmph. He could have at least asked us permission.”

”Young one, no one asks permission to kill in war. Yet, here we are.”

”But they are our enemies.”

”And so were you lot, once upon a time, long ago. But, here we are, not killing each other,” said Mavislin, standing up.

After all that discussion, both Mages were back to full health. As a bonus, Mavislin worked on healing Vernice's injured arm and Z replenished Ling's stamina. With a bit of side help from the Valkyrie, the Duchess managed to get a few more bags of bullets.

”You... You quite the Mage...I've never seen any Mage done that,” said Vernice as she looked at the bullets.

”It's the same ones that you've fired. Just in a restored shape. Most high-ranking Mages can accomplish this.”

”Is that a special Element to have?”

Mavislin blinked a few times at the young leader before realizing Vernice was a human.

”Oh! It's not an Element, it's more of a skill if you can manipulate metal or the object.”

She then picked a large pebble and crushed it.

”Since I can do the Earth Element, I can do this skill. It's called Manipulation of Element. Where the Mage commands the physical form of the Element.”

The broken pieces of the pebble floated towards her open palm. With a flash of green light, the pebble became a stone brick.
