"Gelu Nova." (A/N: Frost Nova)
Chiink!
A loud sound like ice breaking echoed through the area before the ice suddenly began to spread at an astounding pace! It covered everything that it touched! From people to buildings, and even the very air itself was frozen stiff!
Hundreds of people were trying their best to run away from the frost spell, but they were not able to run fast enough as they were immediately frozen in place, stuck with a look of terror on their faces. The entire city looked like a scene out of an apocalypse as the cars and buildings were all frozen, with many people trying to run out of them also frozen in place.
The ice raced across the ground like a vindictive spirit as it chased after Mark and Luna. Mark was moving at a speed almost twice the speed of sound, but he was still not able to outrun the ice as he could slowly feel the chill in the air catching up to him.
Mark knew that at this pace, he would get trapped in the ice as well, and he quickly called the Wiik-bat that had been following them all this time.
Mark gave it some instructions and the Wiik-bat immediately let out a loud wiik in response as it flashed past Mark and began to fly ahead of him. The Wiik-bat could move at speeds that were much higher than what Mark was moving at, so it easily passed him and went to do what Mark told it to!
"Mark, the ice! It's almost here!"
Luna shouted as she raised her head and saw that the ice was right behind them! There was a large wave of ice encroaching over the ground and Mark didn't waste any time as he threw Luna into the air!
"Ahhhhhh!!"
Luna screamed in fear as she flew more than two hundred meters in the air and Mark turned around and pulled back his hand!
[Sonic impact]!
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
[Critical Hit]!
"And yet that boy was fast enough to outrun it on foot? That was quite the display of physical prowess."
'Oh, shut up.'
Morgana spoke up from inside Merlin's mind and Merlin just smiled as he continued talking as if he never heard it.
"I did not see him activate any speed spells and there are no visible glyphs on his body. It is most likely that he was able to move that fast based only on his physique. I wouldn't mind dissecting him and seeing what sort of structure his body has taken after being exposed to so much magic and stress."
'You and your useless hobby for magic analysis. You should just get yourself a pet like other normal husbands. You keep bringing back these useless magic creatures and stinking up our house with them.'
"Haha, you still love me anyway."
There was no response from Morgana and Merlin just chuckled again as he swiveled to the left to avoid a skyscraper. Merlin cornered Mark with this surprise attack, so he knew that there was nowhere for Mark to run. And since he had already sent Morgana back to their territory, he did not need to be careful in the coming fight!
He can go as fast or as slow as he wants and there was nothing anyone could do to stop him!
Merlin decided that he would have to thank Ares for that tip that he received earlier! During the introduction of the game, Merlin got a message from Ares telling Merlin that a boy named Mark Vanitas was the main focus of this game, and if Merlin hurried, he could easily find Mark.
Ares knew that Merlin had a habit of seeking out interesting opponents and fighting them, so he knew that he did not need to do anything after telling Merlin about Mark.
Merlin immediately searched for Mark using one of his homing spells and attacked without preamble! But the first shot that was supposed to have ended Mark completely, ended up failing badly due to that pesky familiar that noticed Merlin before he could sneak up on Mark!
Merlin attacked the Wiik-bat and he was stunned when there was no damage at all to the pesky little thing! Merlin could tell that the Wiik-bat did not have any attack spells! It only had an extremely high defense that it used to protect itself! Merlin wanted to dissect the Wiik-bat as well!
Woosh!
Merlin's eyes widened in shock as he saw a large car flying towards him! He swerved to the side to avoid the projectile and he had to stop flying as he saw three other cars flying at him as well! Was this really Mark's plan? He wanted to use the cars as a form of distraction or something.
"Ventus Sectura!" (A/N: Wind Slash)
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Merlin put out his staff and uttered a wind spell that sent massive blades of wind flying through the air to intercept the cars that were coming to him! The blades tore the cars into pieces and all the pieces simply fell to the side like trash! Merlin started to look around for Mark once more. Hmm? Where could he have possibly gone!?
