Chapter 225 - The Ark Of Mysterious Help

With such a show, it was bound to attract unwanted attention. The gusts of wind formed a transparent sword, with Mavislin clamping onto it. She wasted no time as she lunged towards the enemies.

Having no physical weapon would normally be annoying, but the Ancient Relic allowed her some sort of weapon as it didn't have explosions. Not yet, that is. Ashley sighed as he dreaded more work. He continued firing normally but Mavislin looked like she was having a bit too much fun.

She looked like a dancer, as she soared through the air without the help of her wings. Her stabs were smooth, proof that she was deadly. Leaping sideways from the walls of the buildings, landing with a light touch as well as a kill. She was slightly smiling as adrenaline pumped in her body.

"You are enjoying this?!" asked Ashley, confused.

"Well, not really but it is fun. Besides," said the smiling girl.

She plunged her sword into a Husk and pulled out to stab another.

"I never got the chance to use this weapon. So let me have my fun."

"Killing isn't fun, you know," sighed Ashley.

"Says the deadly sniper of the Campania."

As she continued to kill more, the sword was starting to take a solid form. She was now holding a huge, emerald-colored sword in her hands. She then found a horde of Husks nearby and charged towards it. The horde had about 20 Husks.

Seeing that the coast was clear, she readied up her charged sword and directed it to the Husks. She lifted her sword swung it down, towards the hustling enemies.

"Wind Wave Slash!" yelled the Valkyrie, sending out an emerald crescent moon of water and wind.

As the Husks were being clicked through the attack, the area around the slash started to freeze, much to Ashley's surprise. Mavislin then went back to using the sword as per normal.

"I thought you used the Light Element?" asked Ashley.

"I'm born with it. I can use the other Elements with ease as well. It's the same as you, you use the gun but you are born to run."

Ashley shook his head in disapproval. He then fired a few more rounds. This went on for a bit but there weren't any signs of slowing within the Husks. As Mavislin want to stab another Husk, a few, tiny crystal balls were thrown towards the Husk.

"What the?!" yelled the Valkyrie as she instantly backed away.

The balls exploded, causing the Husk's head to explode. It wasn't a huge explosion but it was a cl.u.s.ter of small ones, like firecrackers going off. Ashley and Mavislin looked perplexed as they tried to find the mysterious bomber.

"No use aimlessly killing all of them. Try to find the actual ones and stop them first!" yelled the mystery man, shoving a small ball into a Husk.

A bright light emerged from the ball and disintegrated the Husk from inside out. Mavislin looked confused before looking around her. The man was right; there was a difference between the actual Husks and the human ones.

The human victims were merely sacks of flesh so they didn't have any sort of advantage. The actual Husks are still weak but Ashley couldn't kill them with normal bullets. Mavislin didn't feel the difference since her weapons were always coated with Valkyrian Light.

Ashley took notice as well and quickly changed targets. Alongside this new help, the three of them managed to reduce the Husks' army into nothingness. But, casualties were on the high amount for today. Despite that, the commonfolk thanked the three heroes for a bit, even giving them soup.

"The folks around here are kind of nice, aren't they?" asked the man, wolfing the soup down.

"Yea... They are the ones who still believe Mages aren't evil, despite all of this," said Mavislin, drinking up.

She knew that this would be the only window for them to calm down since the next wave was nearing again. This was not the end, it was only a small break period. With their puppeteer around, this fight was far from over. Melancholia was slowly finishing, so Mavislin had to act fast.

But first things first, who was this mystery man? He surely wasn't a normal human. Mavislin scanned him from head to toe. His statue was very similar to Ashley's, just slightly muscular. Not a stickman but was thin. He had brown hair, a long fringe being pulled back by a black hairband.

His skin was of pale decent, his lips were quite a prominent feature on his face since they were big. His eyes were black and wore glasses. Usually, combatants shouldn't wear them but to each their own. His attire was like a commonfolk, with a sash around him.
