Chapter 298 - The Ark Of First Clash (1/2)

Back at the west tunnels, Bryan walked in silence alongside Mavislin.

”So you've stuck with me, huh?” asked Mavislin, looking at Bryan.

”It is my orders to follow you, Boss. Besides, I think I would start another fight with Ysabeau,” replied Bryan, looking away.

”I see. That would probably happen. But partnering up with me doesn't mean you can slack off.”

”Of course. I will do my best to support you, Lady Roydon.”

”Mavislin. You may call me Mavislin. I don't like being called as a higher authority amongst peers.”

Bryan blinked in surprise. He smiled as he nodded excitedly. He seemed to be in high spirits while Mavislin was still thinking about earlier events. But both were oblivious to the figure who was following them. But nothing goes past Mavislin's nose.

”Flower Dance: Stage one...”

”Move!” shouted Mavislin as she forced Bryan down onto the ground.

”Malevolence Of Lobelia!” yelled the figure, aiming her spear at Mavislin and Bryan.

”Black Wave Hibiscus!” yelled out Mavislin, with her shield clashing against the petals of her enemy.

”You alright?” asked Mavislin, as she looked down to see Bryan's face.

The man blushed and nodded frantically as his face was inches away from the Valkyrie's ċhėst. But Mavislin was focused on dealing with the figure. She gradually got up, much to Bryan's relief.

The poison from the petals started to break the Hibiscus' defense, but the Valkyrie wasn't done yet. Pulling out her Fire Whip, she managed to slice through each and every petal. All in a single move. The figure unveiled herself quickly as she knew who was facing off against her.

”Ah... You are the infamous buŧŧerfly everyone has been talking about. You've caused quite a stir. Say, your wings are pretty cute,” commented Mavislin, pointing at Rie's pair of wings.
