Chapter 228 - The Ark Of Ceto's Revenge Vs Charybdis

Even if he continued taunting her, it bore no effect towards the leader of the Barren Pillars. As she soared through the dim skies, explosion after explosion cause the area around to be unstable.

But due to Raiyen previously using Radiant Storm, the area still had storm clouds. Not wanting to miss out on this rare opportunity, Mavislin faced her shield towards the sky.

"Daughter of Gaia and Poseidon. Goddess Of The Tide. Once a beauty, now a monster. I call you out to play, the legend of the raging whirlpool..." chanted Mavislin, as her Water Aura engulfed the area.

"Hah! Using Water to defeat me?! You must have underestimated me!" shouted Benajamin, summoning his own spell to counterattack.

"Well, since you are using your Light Powers to summon a Water spell, I must answer in accordance," said Benjamin, smirking.

As Mavislin prepared to slam the shield down, Benjamin's Aura turned into the Water Element. This didn't hamper Melancholia in the slightest bit.

"Mother Of The Gorgons. The Goddess Of Sea Monsters. She has the ultimate control of the beasts of the seas. Alas, it is time she unleashes her beasts..."

"Charybdis!" yelled Mavislin as she slammed her shield into the ground, causing a huge whirlpool of Light and Water to appear in front of her.

The spell was a massive whirlpool forming vertically, with streams of Light Elements dancing about. the atmosphere felt heavy, as the water vapor in the air quickly turned into water droplets to fuel the two Valkyries' spells.

The large attack was right at Benjamin's range as he blurted out the spell's name as well.

"Ceto's Revenge: Ladon!"

With only his hands as a weapon, a serpent of massive proportions hurled out, accompanied by its hundred heads. Each of their mouths opened, shooting giant beams of water towards Mavislin. The beams were claashing against the Valkyrie's shield, enough so that sparks flew about.

With each serpent as powerful as a second rate Mage and with a hundred heads against her, the odds were really stacked against the poor lass. Raiyen wanted to intervene but was quickly and harshly pulled down by the Headmaster.

"There's nothing you can do in your current state. Keep that head down before it get cut," warned Gillian.

"Crap," cursed Mavislin as she was pushed back.

Even with the full backing of her a.d.u.l.t wings, it seems that the tide will be in favor of Benjamin's attack. Benjamin was beginning to win once more and Mavislin was not liking the outcome. Reminding herself of the pain that Benjamin had inflicted, her rage ensued.

She roared as she pushed her shield towards her twin. Her wings becoming a solid back for the Valkyrie, Mavislin's shield became a level larger. Her Aura skyrocketed. Anyone who was born as a Mage could feel her Aura from the town beyond the borders.

"Looks like your claws are showing, little sister," taunted Benjamin.

"At least I've got my claws and wings. You've got nothing left that would call you a Valkyrie," growled Mavislin, her talons sharpening.

"I still have my wings, in case you've forgotten," said Benjamin, brandishing his Corrupted wings.

"In case you happen to blind after your conversion, those are not Valkyrian wings."

"Even if she had full control since young to suppress her powers, up against a foe this powerful will surely break her human cover," commented Gillian, hearing her growls.

"You sound as if that's a bad thing. If anything, it might help win the battle," repliedd Raiyen, having a change in eexpression.

"You do realise that the default of Valkyries is to kill and devour, right?"

Raiyen laughed as he thought back to how Mavislin used to be contented in hunting. But the Time Mage slowly lost his grin the more he looked at Gillian's serious expression.

"She doesn't go hunting just to have fun, it's her nature to consume. Like a default setting and she won't care if you are friend or foe. Because she can't kill everyone around her in this planet, she can only resort to 'necessary' killing."

"But why? Why would she have such a thinking?"

"The Valkyries see themselves as the top of the food chain. Don't know if you know, but the planet of Valokia are strictly closed off for other planets. Trying to land on it, well, you'll land right into their mouths. They called it pest control."

"I guess it's because of their real bodies. The more mass a being has, the more it needs to consume, right?"

"Valkyries devour even if they had their fill. They are the inventors of 'bottomless pit'."
