Chapter 233 - The Ark Of End Of A Fight

Benjamin writhed around in pain, howling uncontrollably. When he started showing signs of regeneration, Gillian quickly summoned Helios but was stopped by a familiar face.

"Memoria Astrum!" yelled the veiled girl with red eyes as she plummeted from the skies.

Shining streams of golden lights appeared around and surrounded Benjamin, forming a cocoon. As the mysterious girl claps her hand, she yells out the final words.

"Stardust Entrapment!"

The area went completely white. When vision returned, Benjamin was nowhere to be found. The mystery girl bows down to both Mavislin and Gillian.

"That's the 3rd Entrapment. I will continue," reported the veiled girl, looking at Raiyen.

Raiyen looked confused while he felt Mavislin's piercing glare.

"Ah, too early. No worries, you'll be alright. Say hi to Verna for me. Toddles!" replied the girl before running off.

Before anyone could react, the huge roar of Ysabeau deafened everyone as she dropped the Old Chapel onto its rightful place.

"Come on! I think the battle is over!"

"It's never over when it comes to that thing," murmured Ashley, running after Bryan.

"You need to lighten up!"

Ashley shook his head and followed the man towards the opening of the Old Chapel. At least, where it used to be. The moment they tried to enter, the forcefield pushed them back.

"Defenses are still high now. Stand back, kid," gestured Ashley, motioning Bryan to back off.

"I'm in my late 20s, not a 'kid'," protested Bryan.

"Compared to me, you've got some years between us. About a few good decades."

"You look good for someone so old," said Bryan, eyes-widened.

"Believe me, not the best way to stay young," explained Ashley, while he tried to break into the vines of the Old Chapel.

It was pretty hilarious to see the Marksman tumble freely into the area, tangled up in vines while his lady boss stares at him confusingly.

"You could just knock," asked Mavislin, extending out a hand to the shocked man.

"On vines? What are you on about?!" asked Ashley.

"So rude," noted Bryan as he stepped into the area.

However, he was completely overwhelmed with the lushness of the area. Looking like nothing from the outside, it looked as if he had gone back in time. Where everything was tranquil and full of life.

"Oi, Starry Eyes! How long you gonna stand there for?" asked Mavislin as she dragged Ashley back to the Old Chapel.

The group embraced each other, checking if everyone was alright. Due to the last-minute attempt, Raiyen can't use his legs for the next few weeks and was being piggy-backed by Z. And being forced to recuperate on the bed meant no fun travels. But Gil gave him extra food.

And Mavislin's arm, up to her elbow was badly burnt. Though she was a Valkyrie, she wasn't able to heal up that arm. All went in, with the Old Chapel happily accepting Bryan and Ashley.

"We wanted to call Z back to help us, but I think the knock-off sufficed this time," explained Gillian.

"What do you mean, 'Knock-off'?! Don't say as if I'm a cheaper remake!" protested Bryan.

"A Human turned Mage is always the cheaper option since your body is likely to give way before the climax," replied Gil, with no hint of remorse.

Bryan wanted to argue more but Ashley forced him to shut up.

"Say anything wrong and the Old Chapel will eject you out of the place," whispered Ashleey in warning.

"This place is alive?" asked Bryan, in shock.

Just then, on the wooden floor, was the word 'Yes' carved onto it. Bryan went pale.

"Heh, even if you did call me, there was no chance I'm coming into the battle," replied Z, grinning.

"You'd go against my orders?!" asked Gil, pretending to be offended.

"Who was the one who trained you?"

"My wife."

Those two words earned a divine whack by Ysabeau, causing Mavislin to burst out laughing. Ashely shook his head in disapproval while Brayn was slightly disturbed at the sight of the most powerful Mages being in the same area. He nudged Ashley on the side.

"What was that for?!"

"Aren't you scared?"

"Of what? If you must know, they don't like the taste of human meat. Except for Mavislin. Her favorite snack is eyeballs," said Ashley, earning a shocked gaze from Bryan.

And the sound of a Valkyrie's tummy rumbling isn't exactly soft. In fact, it sounded like thunder. Mavislin, in the form of a young child once more, began tugging on both human's shirts.

"I'm hungry..." said the Valkyrie with a hungry voice and smile.

Hell, she was drooling. Bryan promptly screamed as Z scooped the child up and took her to the dining room. After parking her at her favorite seat, Z dropped an entire stag in front of her.
