Chapter 221 - The Ark Of Seawater Element (1/2)

”Howl Of The...”

”Crap! Ash, watch out!” shouted Mavislin, unable to foresee her twin's next move.

”Triad Starlight!” shouted Ashley.

”Of the Abyss!” roared Benjamin as he released his breath towards Ashley's direction.

But the stick man stood still and took the spell, head-on. He then fired off, three bullets of light soared through the air. As the bullets reached the torrent of darkness, it flew away from each other, forming a huge triangular shield.

Three beams of light connected the bullets together, making the shield shine rightly as it deflected the Mage's spell. Ashley was brimming with confidence as his bullets' lights were winning against the ex-Valkyrie's roar.

”How the hell?!” yelled Baldwin, amazed.

”That's... A Valokian roar! How the hell can he beat a Valkyrie's howl?!” shouted the Angry Man.

But as he glanced at Mavislin, Baldwin quickly drew back his expression of surprise and gave his usual prideful smile. Looks like this battle was two against one as Ashley borrowed one of Mavislin's spells. Only a Valokian can beat a Valokian.

It was the most basic, younglings back home used it all the time. But in this fight, it was powered by a Valkyrie and a human that had been turned into a Mage. As the shield began to falter, she channeled more Elemental Energy into the stickman.

But of course, this being against the Corrupted One, it wasn't going to last for long. The stickman's lanky legs were dug deep into the plains, causing a slight dent in the ground. Mavislin was starting to lose her force as well since the Dark Element and her power was conflicting.

”Sing the song of the siren... The only source of water in the forest...” chanted Ashley.

Ashley, while trying his best to stabilize the shield, reached into his pocket to toss a turquoise pebble in front of the shield.

”River's Song!” yelled Ashley, in a last-ditch attempt to turn the shield of light into something stronger.

The triangular shield now had a turquoise color shade as the pebble extended out, larger than the initial shield. It could push back the attack significantly, but it didn't seem like it was going to nullify the enemy's attack anytime soon.

It was nearly a copy of Lord Atlantia but in no way could stand up against the Valkyrie's Ancient Relic. It didn't have enough power as the tips of both shields started to crack. Mavislin had just recovered from the previous Umbra incidents, so using more would be annoying.
