Chapter 224 - The Ark Of Gearing Up

This terrified all the Mages on the battlefield. Including the Old Chapel. Right now, the only ones who can survive this are the Aki and the Shadow. Raiyen quickly leaped away from Benajmin and glitched into the Old Chapel for safety.

"Sorry, Gil! I'll give you some time in another way!" said the Time Mage as he shot a small spell to hastened the chanting process for the Headmaster.

"You brat... Thanks."

"That will not work..." said Benjamin, preparing to take all of the Mages down.

"Hmph, you get a farewell gift from me too."

Who knew manipulating the time for chanting spells could be so easy? Now, the Corrupted One needed more time to create Melancholia.

With time running out, Ysabeau had no choice but to resort to her final act. Raiyen looked at Z and Ysabeau, unsure of what their next move was.

"I hate transforming but I need to keep you three alive."

"Oi! How about the rest?! You gonna leave them behind?!" asked Raiyen, in a frantic.

"Don't be stupid. Your body is human. And so is mine. If you touched Melancholia, your body would give out before your mind. It affects physically then mentally," explained Z.

He then looked at Ysabeau and nodded. The High Queen then flew out and transformed back to her original state. The infamous Bahamut. Using all four of her limbs, Ysabeau picked the Old Chapel off from the grounds and into the skies.

Raiyen glitched to the roof, expecting to see the legend but was met with great surprise. Though he had heard of the infamous race, he'd never once realised that it would be this huge. He gulped as he clung onto the roof. Her wingspan was nearly as big as Mavislin's, if not, bigger.

To give a rough estimate, Mavislin's wingspan was 20 metres. At current form, the High Queen's were double that size. She could wrap the Old Chapel with her wings. And bahamut wings were very tough. Unlike a Valkyrie's, it can lift things up.

Both are tough but Bahamuts' wings are reptillian while Valkyrie's are of feathers. And Ysabeau only tool a few flaps to get the entire building off from the ground. Mavislin would require a few more, since Valkyries' wings are not meant for weight lifting.

As Melancholia started to form, Baldwin and Gillian decided it was showtime before getting caught up in the spell. Baldwin had already activated his Ancient Relic and Gillian's Gates were fully opened. Celeste helped to mitigate some of the Elemental Energy but it was still a beacon.

This lured in more danger as the Husks were starting to fumble about into the main village of the Old Chapel. The common folk was now in mass hysteria as the Husks continued to chow down on the living. Truly, a zombie movie.

The Old Chapel sent out an emergency siren towards the Mages but none could do anything about it. All were too afraid and tired from the earlier battle with the Umbras. Though the main fight was with the higher-ups, many of the Arks' stations suffered losses as well.

Mavislin quickly stood up from her place, with Ashley being on high alert as well. As the two rushed towards the area, the sight was terrifying. The Husks weren't fumbling about, they were like warriors as they quickly engulfed the humans.

The humans who were engulfed got up and started taking others' lives. They were multiplying rapidly. If something isn't done, the whole domain would be in trouble.

"Wait, they aren't supposed to take humans..." mumbled Mavislin as she took a step back.

It wasn't new to her, but it had been a while since she saw this scene. The last time, was the night when Valokia fell. Ashley placed a hand on his leader's shoulder.

"Keep your head in the game. Or else, we've got more problems," assured Ashley as he loaded up his rifle.

"Hmph, naggy boy."

"Hey, at least it helps."

Mavislin closed her eyes as she readied up her spells. Her arsenal was mostly used in big battlefields but this was a controlled environment. So, spells like Array Of Elements were out of the question. Thus, she had no choice but to use that. But, seeing Ashley's powers, it might go well.

"The Tempest, The Hurricane, The Cyclone, The Storm, The Whirlwind, The Gale, The Typhoon. This is the Element that is responsible for those mass destructions..." chanted Mavislin as the wind around her picked up.

The ground shook as the Valkyrie's Wind Element poured into her hands. It was still quite unstable since she hadn't use the sword like a normal weapon for a long time. She regretted using Lord Atlantia all the time.

"All winds gather... And become my sword... Emerald Wave Sword!"
