The Arks

Chapter 193

"With the first, this power has been dispersed," said Z.

A surge of light beamed from the red Kunai and towards the blue one, creating a giant white wall in between. As Tiamat touched it, the serpents sent froze over.

"First Chapter; Absorb," said Baldwin as he took the staff and plunged it into the floor.

Streams of Dark Elements began to leak from unknown cracks. Benjamin sneered as he realized what was Baldwin up to. The more he tried to conjure up his Element, the more fuel Baldwin had for his Relic.

"With the second, this spell is beckoned."

The blue Kunai shot out a beam of light towards the green Kunai, creating another barrier. Tiamat released another howl, trying to destroy the Kunais. But the three pillars of light were not budging. However, Z"s fingertips were showing signs of necrosis, an overhaul of Elemental Energy.

"Second Chapter; Conserve."

Angry Man"s staff grew slightly, in terms of size and weight. Cracking the ground, Baldwin"s Elemental Energy was being transferred over to his Ancient Relic.

"With the third, this voice is heard."

At last, the final wall was completed as the red and blue Kunai were linked together. Tiamat stopped howling and started thrashing about, inducing more pain onto her body.

"Third Chapter; Unleash."

Baldwin"s staff completely let chaos reign as Dark Elemental Aura engulfed the area. Benjamin stood still, allowing the huge wave of Darkness to slam him.

"You sure about standing still?" asked Baldwin, raising his eyebrows.

"Why not? It"s a free meal for me."

"As I invoke these three pillars, I open up the lore of this weapon," said Z, as he stood up slowly.

"As I implore the chapters, I unbind the chains of this solemn chant..." recited Baldwin as he increased his planet"s power within him.

"What the h.e.l.l?!" cursed Benjamin, looking at the Darkness around him.

"Hearken these words... Trilohiya ng mga bituin (Trilogy Of The Stars)!" yelled Z, as the entire triangle beamed in full light.

Tiamat screamed for one last time before the light engulfed her.

"Sing this mournful song... Requiem of the Dead!" shouted Baldwin, as a deluge of power raked through the vicinity.

Streams of darkness clung onto anything that could move. As it touched the old flags that had once decorated the halls, they were instantly broken down into shreds. Benjamin flew around, trying to escape but was useless against the last Shadow Being in the Solar System.

The streams caught hold of Benjamin, forcing him to stop in his tracks. Whatever those streams touched would decay and fall apart. But against a Mage that had already died, no one could tell what could happen.

"To be honest, I"ve no idea what would this do... I"m just taking a chance here," said Baldwin, with his smile beaming towards Benjamin.

"Killing you ain"t an easy feat to accomplish, mate," added Baldwin, leaning against his staff.


"Usually, no normal Mage can kill me... But," said Benjamin as he looked at his limbs.

But it seemed that Benjamin was having trouble with the spell as his limbs started to decay. As he tried to yank his feet out, the foot instantly rotted and disappeared. This forced the Corrupted One onto his knees.

"Perhaps, I could finally find the one thing to kill me..." mumbled Benjamin as he cracked a solemn smile.

Mavislin looked at the old area of the Congregation, where Benjamin and Baldwin were fighting at. Her arm reached out as if to grasp something or someone. Raiyen gripped onto her slender hand.

"Something the matter, Sweets?" asked Raiyen, tilting his head.

"Huh? Oh, it"s nothing. I just thought I heard Benjamin call out to me..."

"We tried, so many of us died because of your Corruption. And your wish was to die?" asked Baldwin, shaking his head.

"You think I wanted to kill?"

Baldwin widened his eyes.

"Everyone thought that I wanted to kill... But must all bad guys in the book be murderers? Why do all enemies must have a want to kill?"

He closed his eyes once more as Z"s Ancient Relic plunged the two into bright light.

Benjamin awoke to a s.p.a.ce of nothingness. He looked around and walked for a bit. He then chanced upon two young girls who were playing with flower crowns. One had a Dark Elemental Aura around her while the other had the polar opposite.

Two Mages with conflicting power... Playing make-believe with the meadows underneath them.

"Mavy?" asked Benjamin.

A small, silhouette of a child ran towards Benjamin. Instinctively, Benjamin opened up his arms, only to have the little girl run right through him. He looked surprised but spun around.

"All we wanted, all I wanted... Was to embrace my twin once more..."

A single tear ran down the ex-Valkyrie"s cheek.
