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

Rie's eyes widened as Mavislin vanished in a split second. The Valkyrie appeared behind the girl, gently grabbing the top of her buŧŧerfly wings.

”It would be such a shame for me to rip these off,” whispered Mavislin, with a wave of malice in her tone.

Her eyes were that of a mad person, her smile was terrifying as Rie used her spear to swipe at the Valkyrie. Mavislin flipped, pushing the girl down while dodging the attack with ease. The buŧŧerfly recovered fast and kicked the Valkyrie away.

But Mavislin still had that smile as she bounced off from the kick, landing in front of Bryan. Rie then used her spear to strike at Mavislin but the Valkyrie tugged and spun her whip. The whip twirled around the spear and Mavislin decided to pull.

This ended with Rie forcefully flung towards the wall with terrorizing strength. She didn't cough up any blood but she did convulse upon impact. She blacked out, but for only a few seconds.

”Hmm... Your physical endurance is quite high. I might have to get rough with you,” said Mavislin, winking at her opponent.

Had she been an inch closer, her head would have been sliced off, clean from her neck. Bryan gasped in both awe and fear as he witnessed what that short whip could do to a tunnel wall, the damage it could deal was disastrous.

Rie was forced to roll away, in a hazardous way to dodge Mavislin's slashes. When Mavislin gave an opening, the Flower Mage wasted no time in grabbing her spear to block the incoming attacks. The two duked it out, Fire against a tree branch.

”Flower Dance: Stage Four!” yelled Rie, stabbing the spear into the ground.

A few cracks appeared, prompting Mavislin to back away from the enemy.

”Ah, looks like you are going all out on me. I should be honored,” said Mavislin, landing back onto the ground with her two feet.

A few bulbs of flowers started to grow around the area where the spear had been stabbed. The flowers were called Wolf's Bane, otherwise known as Queen Of Poisons. They were known for their potent poison amongst the humans but in the Mages realm, they hold a much deeper meaning.

These flowers are the root of most Poison Mages. As its nickname, it was one of the main ingredients that Mages used to counter enemies. And giving one to a human would mean that the person hates the receiver but for Mages, it's quite different.

They willingly accept it, as it was seen as a sign of care. The same way a soldier gives a shield to another soldier to protect himself. Of course, this is only amongst the Poison Mages.
