Chapter 238 - The Ark Of Emerald Wave Rebellion (1/2)
Mavislin slowed her mind down, trying to calm herself. Usually, she would be trying to push back her attack. She tended to fight back, deflecting the attack. But she wasn't going to do that today.
Why waste such a powerful attack when you could use it to your advantage? And you have to waste your energy just to deflect or throw it off. Why do that? Her mischievous, childlike thinking came to fruition as she pondered on. Mom gave me a ball, so I shall play with it with her, thought Mavislin.
In most fights, the winner is determined by who is the strongest or who is the one that could kill the other party faster than the other. But this fight was different. This fight had a flaw. The power difference between the two was worlds apart.
”If you can't do that thing, focus on what you can do in the present. At that moment. Don't take chances, because that chance might cost your life,” said Z, within a memory.
So, all she had to do was fight with whatever cards that have been dealt towards her. Whatever Ysabeau dishes out, Mavislin had to use it to her advantage., She can't always be on the defensive all the time. There was no need to show off when the battle is about who can last the longest.
A Valkyrie could never dream of killing a Bahamut. Especially when that Bahamut was just messing around. And this attack was just one of the many she has up her sleeve. If this attack can push Mavislin back, then this battle will end there and then.
But Mavislin was determined to show Ysabeau that she was no longer a child. She thought about converting the arrows to hers, but the act of it used Elemental Energy, something that she was trying to control the cost of. She then recalled what her twin weapon could do.
The Emerald Sword of the Seas.
Ice is hardened Water, so there was no need to convert the Elements. The saying, 'fight fire with fire' was beaming through Valkyrie's mind as she placed the handle of the sword at the top of the shield.
Since the clash of both weapons was too bright to be seen, Ysabeau failed to see the sword taking form. If Mavislin only used the shield, it would put her in danger since the power of Ysabeau's attack far surpassed her Ancient Relic.
”All waves rise and become my shield...”
”All winds gather and become my sword...”
