Chapter 302 - The Ark Of Lights Out (1/2)

The fire! It had cut off her entire side view so that she would only look straight ahead. The tunnel was dark but if one has a light source near their eyes, it would be harder to make out things in the dark. Especially if the light is not shining in that particular area.

Rie hardly had any way of countering or dodging before it was lights out for her. Mavislin, within a fraction of a second, grabbed Rie's head and did a Smackdown with it. With her entire body on the floor and her face in the ground, Mavislin sighed with relief.

”So, what's the next move?” asked Bryan, sheathing his weapons.

”To interrogate her. I have to use my hair as a binding tool since that is the most durable thing around here,” replied Mavislin, staring at the buŧŧerfly who had her face part of the ground.

”Why did you cut the battle short? That attack didn't do you in.”

”Are you kidding me? I lost an entire arm, heart, and lung. If I was a normal Mage, I'd be joining the rest of my family in the other realm!”

”That doesn't answer my first question.”

”She was beginning to bore me. Hell, the whole fight was boring. I wanted to stop it earlier, but I thought differently when you pulled out that seed. I knew you were bound to use a cancellation, but I was willing to see what it could do,” said Mavislin, cracking her knuckles.

”It was such an easy poison to get rid of. And one of the easiest knockouts I ever did against a non-human.”

”If it was that easy, why did you play out with her?” asked Bryan as he dusted himself.

”Because I wanted to see if she could master all spells. Since her last one is a bit unstable, there was no need to continue. And her close combat is lower than the recruits so I decided to end it now. But, I still have to keep her alive.”

Mavislin was in the middle of dragging Rie towards the walls of the tunnel. She then paused to look at Bryan and continue her sentence.
