Celia thought that facing this man would give her a better understanding of the strength of a demon god.
Although he was still a demon warrior he was the closest to a demon god she had faced so far.
She smiled arrogantly at him, she couldn't wait to see his expression when he will find out about her surprise.
The man looked at this woman who was looking at him arrogantly, she had done something to the shield, but whatever it was, and even though this woman was the reincarnation of the seven spheres' mage, she was not yet powerful enough to be a real threat for them.
After this attack the shield will break and this arrogant smile will disappear from her face, she will be his first victim, everyone knew that to kill a golden dragon you had to kill her mage first.
Anaya joined Celia and asked her : "Are you that confident ?"
Celia said to her : "Of course I am, you saw with your own eyes how that shield was powerful."
Anaya smiled at her and said : "My love, I wasn't talking about the shield, Liam sent me to tell you to stop provoking your enemies once and for all."
Celia chuckled and said to Anaya : "Then I'm sorry my baby wife, since the competition at Eclipse city I understand better why you are so excited to fight, I too can feel the adrenaline spreading all over my body, it is an intoxicating feeling.
And provoking my enemies makes me feel like I'm gaining the upper hand in the fight, look at his face when he will see our new shield, you'll understand."
Anaya smiled at her and nodded, then she asked her curiously : "Are you really going to let your brothers go to the battlefield ?"
Celia looked at her and nodded, she said with a serious tone : "They will be safe under our shields and thanks to have mixed their energy, Sky, Lilac and Flame will be able to use the shield to cast spells, that means they will be able to attack our enemies, and protect and heal our allies at the same time.
Thanks to Daniel's regeneration energy, my brothers won't even need to take care of keeping the shield in place, they will just have to replace layers if any are ever broken.
It will be such a waste to not use them, actually thanks to my brothers and our friends this battle don't look that tough anymore."
Celia saw that the man was concentrating his darkness energy into a ball of energy, her smile widened and she said to Anaya : "It's show time !"
Anaya couldn't help but shake her head, she looked helplessly at Liam and pulled out her second dagger, the first one was already under her feet to keep her in the air.
She transformed her second dagger into a scimitar and charged it with her light energy.
The shield could easily destroy the black flames that were about to spread over it but if Celia really wanted to provoke this man, then so be it, she was going to turn his powerful attack into a simple joke.
Celia looked at Anaya and winked at her, she had guessed what Anaya had in mind and she couldn't wait to see this man's reaction when he will see that his overpowered attack had been swept away so easily.
As Celia had predicted, the academy's shield shattered and this ball of energy eventually crashed and exploded on her shield.
But unlike the academy's shield, hers absorbed the entire attack.
There was no deafening noise and no earthquake, this ball of energy had managed to pass through, and make a hole, in two of the layers of her shield.
The black flames, following the explosion of the energy ball, began to spread over the surface of the shield as expected.
Anaya then intervened and used beams of light coming out of her dagger to destroy those black flames.
Once the black flames disappeared the shield replenished itself thanks to the regeneration energy, Celia exclaimed : "That was too cool sweetie !"
Anaya had watched the man's expression change when he saw the difference between the two shields, and as Celia had promised, provoking an enemy was truly enjoyable.
Celia ended up saying : "Let's finish the preparations and let's go and kill that motherfucker."
Anaya smirked and said : "After you my love."
Celia went back to her brothers and asked them : "Have you finished preparing the green papers I gave you."
Jeremy replied : "Not all of them, but we did as you asked us, there is only spells using two or three elements."
He handed her a magic bag and said : "Out of the thirty thousand you gave us we only managed to prepare eighteen thousand of them."
Eighteen thousand was a lot more than what Celia had expected in such a short time, she said to them : "Wow brothers, I m impressed, let me just had some of light energy in it and we will be done with them."
While Celia was adding light energy to the spells created by her brothers, Aiden was reviewing their attack's plan with Liam, Alec, Caleb, Tal, Dan and finally the chief of the Lys Alliance.
Anaya listened and she was quite satisfied with their choice, Liam, Alec, Tal, Onyx and the seven Grand Masters of the Northern Academy who had joined them will fight against the evil creatures.
The fighters and mages of the Lys Alliance will attack with half of his father's men, the fighters and mages of their ennemies.
As for her father, he will go to fight alongside Caleb, Aiden and Daniel, with the rest of his men against their uncle and the two hundred demons he had brought with him.
Finally, Aiden was in charge of retrieving the golden stone and killing their uncle.
Aiden looked at Anaya and asked her : "What do you think ... how should we place her brothers ?"
Anaya said to him : "Take Anthony and Sky with you, Jeremy and Lilac with Liam and Alec and Yann and Flame with the Lys Alliance."
Aiden looked at her in astonishment and asked her : "Is there a specific reason for placing them like this ?"
Anaya snorted and said : "Of course there is a specific reason ... Anthony has a higher perception than Celia, she already told me that she was planning to ask her brother to scan all the demons to see if he could find a new kind of energy, plus Sky is the most experienced of our friends.
Jeremy and Lilac will be perfect against evil creatures, Lilac is quick and a sneak attack specialist.
And Yann and Flame want to prove their worth so let's them face as many enemies as possible."
Aiden smiled and said : "Great, then it's decided ! We just need to wait for our angel to open a gate."
