"Then who was that person?""Whoever it was, that"s not the main issue now. The pressing thing now is that we can"t stay here. That Umbra is using the Headmaster"s power. That thing is virtually impossible to kill. We"ll all die within the crossfire," said Z.
"So, where shall we head to?" asked Earl Yan.
"I will allow you guys to take shelter at my domain," offered the d.u.c.h.ess as she brought out her sniper rifle.
She then fired at the oncoming serpents, directly at the eyes.
"Venice..." said the Viscountess as she looked at her childhood friend.
"Don"t worry. Focus on getting the Valkyrie away from here. Without her, there"s no way we can stand a chance against this monster," replied the d.u.c.h.ess, firing another shot.
"The Urnsfield was once our home Headquarters. It should suffice. That area has supplies from the olden days to take care of the Valkyrie. Many thanks, d.u.c.h.ess Midford," said Z, as he carefully picked the young Mage.
Without much effort, he had tossed the poor Valkyrie onto his back. With a surge of Energy, Z leaped forward with inhuman speed.
"Let"s go," said Viscountess Ling, looking at the Earl.
"You catch up to Mavislin and Z. I"ll go get Gab and help the Time Mage," said the Earl as he whipped out his rifle.
"You can"t defeat that thing."
"No, but I can buy enough time for you lot to seek help. Go," ordered the Earl, rushing off to the monster.
"Vernice? You coming?" asked Viscountess Ling.
The d.u.c.h.ess placed her sniper rifle back onto her back and ran towards Z and Mavislin. The area was now on lockdown, no one was to come out as the Mages are currently in war with the Umbras. Earl Yan"s orders were strict, with no human interference unless it was necessary.
As the sun shined brightly, the day had started with two Mages soaring through the sky. Playing a nice game of tag. With the Umbra as "it".
The Time Mage was having the time of his life as he glitched through the air. He was teeming with blue sparks while having a smile on his face. The Umbra could not have been more p.i.s.sed at the playful Time Mage. It was getting tired at the game of cat and mouse.
"You can"t keep running, Time Mage," warned the Umbra, as it caught up with the Mage.
"Have been, and always will be running," replied Raiyen.
"Besides, what"s the point of doing your job if you can"t find the fun in it?"
He then tossed a ball of light towards the Umbra.
"Let"s play dodge!"
"Luminera Nova!" yelled Raiyen as the ball exploded in front of the Umbra.
After recovering for a split second, the Umbra seemed more p.i.s.sed than ever. It was livid. Raiyen, with his cheeky grin, glitched through the air while flinging b.a.l.l.s of light towards the Umbra. After a few more, the Umbra ended the game swiftly by trapping the Time Mage within a ball of darkness.
Raiyen smiled as he looked around. He hasn"t tried this before. And if Mavislin could do it, so could he. The place seems great to try out a new spell. If things go wrong, he would only hurt himself. If it goes right, he might be able to break out from these confines.
"Play in the dark, Fight in the war. This will leave a mark, And it won"t go anymore. The Mages have done, Power has been used. This war has begun. This spell has fused."
As he chanted, his hands were placed right in front of him. His position was odd as if he was holding onto a handle. He concentrated the entire pool of Elements that he used into his hands.
"Invoke the wise, Seek the old. The power of sunrise, The danger to behold," continued the Time Mage.
As the Umbra felt the fluctuation of Elemental Energy within the cage, it then added a few more layers. But this did not deter Raiyen one small bit.
"Master the Peace. Master the Sacrifice. Master the Time. Master the Energy."
The cage started to shake while a blue, green and light purple mixture of Auras appeared within Raiyen"s hands.
"With one hand I bear this ability, And the other, I bear this mastery. Merge. I call for It, in capability, These two are the ones. Execution and dexterity. This is the symbol of my Ark..."
He then took a deep breath. The Time Boy"s Aura grew, combining all of the Elements he could wield. His eyes then flew open as he finished the spell.
"I offer thee... Eternal Unity Spark!" yelled the Time Mage.
The Elemental Energy created the symbol of the Vigilante Ark and appeared on the sh.e.l.l of the dark cage.
