Chapter 232 - The Ark Of Water And Fire

"The Sea that lives amongst the stars births the legend. The river poured from the legendary Water-bearer, Aquarius. Running from the stars of Cursa to Acherna, I call for your help..."

The base of the pellets each lit up, with Bryan's Elemental Energy pouring into them. He then abruptly tossed them towards Ashley.

"We'll do the attack together."

Ashley nodded and placed a few pellets into the barrel of the gun. With that, he primed the gun. It nearly exploded with both Mages' Auras mixing but Ashley managed to hold it all together. For some weird reason, Ashley felt at ease when working with Bryan.

The young man had a vibe, a charming one that allowed anyone to work with him well. Ashley smiled as it reminded him of his fallen brother.

"I activate thee, pierce all fragile hearts...Lynx Eyes;" chanted Ashley.

"Drawings of the skies, lend me your power..." said Bryan, both in unison as they dished out their combined attacks.

"The ruler of the Brine Reef. Major God of the Pantheon. Let his hatred of all that is not within his domain fuel this spell of mine. Let your jealousy of turning back into human destroy those I point at. Let the storms gather and center the area I choose."

"Symbol of the path that Phaeton created, the final resting place of the son of Helios..."

"Seething Rage Of The Brine King!"

"Eridanus, Stars Of The River!"

Both men were fired up as Ashley blasted the pellets towards the area of the main fight. Mavislin dealt another blow before the pellets could reach the area.

"All winds gather and become my sword, Emerald Wave Slash!" cried the Valkyrie as she threw her entire sword towards the Corrupted One.

A huge crescent moon of water came flying towards Benjamin, properly slashing him. Though he felt no pain, the deed was done.

"Did you really think mere pellets could work on me?!" roared Benjamin as he felt the pellets coming straight towards him.

Mavislin smiled as she fully embraced her form as a half Valkyrie and human. With her claws and wings, she began to slash and clung onto Benjamin. She forced Benjamin to take the bullets straight on, causing a huge pain for him.

The power of Ashley's spell took full effect, causing the target's body to freeze up, stunning the monster. White foam began ooze out of the bullet holes, causing more pain since it was using saltwater.

Meanwhile, Bryan's attack was slightly weaker but it had its parks. It caused the entire constellation of the river to flow through the Corrupted One's body. With the Element of the Stars within his body, there was no way Benjamin could get away unscathed. Benjamin let out a another howl but Mavislin summoned up Black Wave Hibiscus to stop it. She succeeded but her hand was quite hurt.

"Heh, looks like those two get along well," replied Mavislin, with Benjamin trying desperately to fling her off.

Seeing this as a good chance, Raiyen dashed into the close proximity of the enemy and began his attack, starting with his twin daggers.

"Those two are such baby daggers, what made you think it'll work on me?"

"I never said it would work on you. Old pal behind me needed more time," said Raiyen, smiling.

Gillian smiled as Benjamin realised he had lost the Headmaster's Aura. By changing his Element to Earth, Benjamin had fatally miscalculated.

"Open! Gate of the Primordial Beasts!" shouted Gillian.

"I won't allow you!" yelled Ashley from afar.

Coupled with his new friend's power, the Traid Starlight was much more grander and powerful. It shined brighter than before and could withstand Vortex.

"Pisces, Star of the Twin Fishes!"

Suddenly, two fishes made of water sprung out of the shield, forcing Benjamin back.

"Door of the Salamander; Ifrit!"

Flames erupted from Gillian as he launched himself towards the Corrupted One. Red, scaly wings emerged from his back. But the distance was still too far and Benjamin got ready to change his Element once more.

"You owe me!" shouted Raiyen as he prepared his last ditch attempt at defeating this monster.

"Glitch: Reverse The Shift!" yelled the Time Mage as he switched places with Gillian.

Mavislin grinned as she too used her remaining strength for another attack. Pellets came flying through, unleashing the Fire Elements and constellation of Leo.

"You're done for!" yelled the twin sister as she pierced his stomach with her b.a.r.e hand.

"Ruber Stella... Tripido! (Crimson Firefly... Dance!)" yelled Mavislin.

As her hand exploded, it sent slashes of burning flames all over Benjamin's body. Within each hash, balls of fire quickly detonated. Gillian instantly pulled the young girl out and both landed safely beside Raiyen.
