Chapter 223 - The Ark Of Three Way Fight

"Don't worry, he won't be doing that after I rest up, and when she arrives," assured Ashley, ruffling the girl's hair.

"There's no way you can kill him. There's only one spell that can do so and it requires the last Stage of Heaven's Wheel."

"There is another. You just haven't found it yet. I know her, I know the Mage that can end the Shadow once and for all."

"Who is that 'her'?"

"Oh, you'll know it when you see her. She is closer to you than you think."

"Hmm... Whoever she is, she'd better be aware of who she's dealing with..."

"She faced him before, just not before you," replied Ashley, with Mavislin's facial expression twisting.

"Huh? You're not making any sense," replied the girl, shaking her head.

"Well, you'll understand it since she takes on her father's hobby very well. Just, mixed in with your temper."

But as for the ones down below, the Time Mage had no clue that the duo had made it out safely. Since it looked like the spell had s.u.c.k.e.d them away, Raiyen was livid as he glared at Benjamin.

"Hmm... I guess they weren't really that powerful after all. Now I hope that you won't be so disappointing."

"Over centuries of fighting you... Still pisses me off to the core," murmured Gillian.

Gillian then proceeded to kneel, with his palms clasped, much like a prayer stance. As the area around the Headmaster changed, the fight was taking another turn. Raiyen clenched his fists as he gritted his teeth.

"Don't think that I'm the same level as stickman up there. I am the Child Of Time," explained Raiyen as his fringe covered his eyes.

He looked up at the creature once more, his fringe flew up, revealing his eyes. His left eye turned to gold as his right turned silver. If his glare could kill, it might have wiped out an entire army, there and then.

He then glitched behind the Shadow, with his golden knife at the creature's neck and his silver one near its lower back.

"Now I've gotten close enough... Prepare to meet your maker!" yelled the proud Time Boy.

The two daggers exploded into their respective lights as the Time Mage continued to pour out Elemental Energy.

"Heaven's Sent! Hell Bent!"

The combined spell engulfed the Corrupted one but it showed no signs of hurting it. Benjamin merely laughed as Raiyen's attempts to even damage him were futile.

"Hmph! That little trick won't do me in..." said Benjamin as he prepared to throw the small boy away.

"It can't! But it gives him more time!"

But as the Corrupted One tried to toss the boy away, Gillian's power soared through the roof. The Symbols of all Five of the Primordial Beasts appeared around the Headmaster. Ysabeau gasped as she had no idea an Aki could pull that off.

"Door Of the Salamander: Ifrit. Door Of the Sea Salt Goddess: Tiamat. Door of the Upper Skies: Aether. Door of the Sunken Shipwreck: Celeste. Door of the Tree of Life: Yggdrasil..."

The symbols on the ground burst into beams of light. Red for Ifrit. Blue for Tiamat. White for Aether. Purple for Celeste. Green for Yggdrasil. The place shook as Benajmin tried to summon up more Corrupt Aura towards the Aki.

But Raiyen had other plans. He continued slashing away Benjamin's attempts to disturb Gillain's preparations. Z laughed as he witnessed such a familiar scene.

"I don't get it. Why do you always end up as the distraction?" asked Z, inwardly.

"No matter. If it's enough to take that damned thing down, I ain't complaining."

"Open! Gate of all the Primordial Beasts!" shouted Gillian as all silhouettes of the Beasts appeared around him.

The figures' outlines shined in their respective colors. Gillian looked terrifying as he had the Primordial Beasts back him up. Cornered with both Mages' powers, Benjamin could not be level-headed anymore. He answered the same to his opponents.

"Abyss Of the Horizon: Melancholia..."

Ysabeau instantly dived towards the Old Chapel and crashed right through the door. This scared Z and confused the Old Chapel.

"Z! I need you to transport the Old Chapel into your mind!" commanded Ysabeau.

"Harmony Of Cosmos is based on my mental capacity, there's no way I can do that!" protested Z.

Ysabweau was taken aback. If the Old Chapel gets into the spell, it might not live anymore. It can withstand a lot of powers from the stars but a converted Valkyrie is another level. Especially, using such a move.
