""" alright, we spend the night here!!!""" yell sir Jarrett the hawk eyes as he step down from his horse, He continued dishing out orders to his boys, """"" the three of you, go and scout out the area and map out our perimeter and the rest of you set up tent, at ten we all convey here, ......... Your highness, your tent is ready, I think it will be wise if you retire to your tent, we have a big day ahead tomorrow, the soldiers will keep watch """ sir Jarrett tried persuading the adamant prince, who only nods"""" thank you sir Jarrett, but there is no need for that, I will spend the rest of the night with you all outside my tent, just make the fire big enough to keep us warm and, see to it that they are well fed, I can"t have them go into fighting those bandit with empty stomach"""" waving him off, the prince replied sir Jarrett without giving him the chance to kick against his decision
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Celina busy tunneling her way through, trying to get away from the palace but her actions were truncated when patrolling guards on duty, caught her
Guard 1 """ quiet, do you hear anything?? """
Guard2 "" c"mon stop all this your over sensitivity, they is nothing here, except for the little damsel that came back with the prince, whose chamber is far from here""""
Guard3 """wait I can hear it too, the earth is vibrating right under our feet"""" already stretching his arm to Cast a spell """""" he is of no earth essence, don"t blame if he doesn"t feel the movement of the earth beneath us
EARTH STYLE: VALLEY FORMATION, EARTH BURROW { a spell, when casted will cause the surrounding earth/ground to hurled out forming a heap of sand and rocks and muds and a valley will be formed revealing anything that is beneath it, it"s effect is permanent even after magic have been removed, the higher the magic used, the deeper the valley and the wider the range of the attack} [an amateur, upper cla.s.s spell that can be use as a defensive and offensive attack]
Instantly the whole area, was as if it was excavated, debris of sand and rock are seem flying every, and the resulting sound and dust attracted other guards nearby, and Celina right at the bottom of the valley look like a mice caught in a giant spider web
"""" I tried to make my escape unnoticed and problem free, but you guys won"t let it be so, the first person to move an inch will face my wrath""""" the busted Celina tried to sound mean and dreadful hoping her threat scare them away, but she end up receiving the opposite of what she expected, a resounding laughter from the guards, who looked at each other and charged toward her
EARTH STYLE: BUDDHA ARMOUR,
EARTH STYLE: CELESTIAL PRISON { a spell that make harden rock rise and cage the target, mostly its legs and limps making the target unable to move and vulnerable for the next attack} [ an amateur, lower cla.s.s spell]
Celina seeing, she only succeeded in provoking the guards casted her own spell and was only able to capture the fire style user, who was left behind to just cast and hurl fire toward her while the other two neutralized the effects of the spell and are still closing up the distance between them
EARTH STYLE: DEMONIC CHAIN { spiky rock form chain starting from the user and progress toward the target, if successfully launched, the target will be under the will of the user, as it drain the target magic energy } [ a amateur, lower cla.s.s spell, use to restrain target]
The earth style guard reciprocate the gesture and launched their own attack, which landed on the body armor of Celina, unfortunately for the guards, it was a flawless victory for Celina as she pulled her arm with all the strength she could muster, sending the two guards flying towards her. Boom!!!, The resulting impact temporarily incapacitated the guard as they fell down like a lifeless dog, seeing the outcome of the first encounter, the fire style guard, who has had been trapped, blew his whistle bringing more guards to his aid
"""Give up young lady, you are outnumbered""" one of the new guards echoed from above, right at the top of the valley.
""" I will take my chances...... so if you don"t want to end up like your comrades, you better give way """""
""" I see you must be the tough type, well the hard way you want, the hard way you.......""""
"""" The longer I stay in this Armour the smaller my magic energy becomes"""" thinking critically Celina Cut the guard off, as she cast two spell simultaneously
EARTH STYLE: CELESTIAL PRISON
EARTH STYLE: EARTHEN BULLET
This surprise attack was only able to knock off the previous fire guard and one water guard, while the other earth style guard was fast enough to raise earthen rock to form a barrel and cover itself and the other being a metal style user manipulated the metal breast plate on him to form a dome covering himself
After the dust from the collision of the attack had subside, the two remaining guards came out of their defensive barrel """ you talk too much..... """" Celina echoed from the base of the valley.""""you reflex and defence is good, but am sure you won"t survive the next attack"""
""""sorry my dear but there will be no next time for you""" with that said the metal style guard dashed down from the top of the valley toward the base, still in the air, he casts his own spell
EARTH STYLE: IRON MANIPULATION, IMPERIAL CLAWS { a spell that allow the user to manipulate iron, imperial claw is an iron casted claws like a lion it serves as a fist to bust pa.s.s obstacles and also to captured its target; a chain attached to it, used by the user to control the claw head as an offensive attack} [ a lord cla.s.s manipulative spell, and earth being its base element]
two iron claws Fly towards Celina, who had already braced herself for the incoming attack, she simply dodge it but, the guard having come close enough to her, using the chain attached to the iron claws, retract one of the iron claw and sending it back to her consecutively, a series of punch,the other claw he set as a trap, waiting for Celina to dance to his tune
"""" is that all you can do??........ I must complement, your iron claws is so shinny"""""
""""I like your confidence, girl and your skills are also good, even your reflex are fast and keen but there is one thing missing........... You easily let your guard down""" that said, the second guard, appeared from no where giving Celina super punch, sending Celina right out of her body Armour, before she could regain herself, the iron claw came landing on her hands
