Chapter 157 - The Ark Of Tiamat's Escape

Pulling out the Eternal Unity Spark, Raiyen slammed the weapon into the shield. With the three most powerful spells he could come up with fighting against Tiamat, Raiyen would highly doubt the monster would sustain no injuries.

As he made the two spells to further support Monody, Raiyen had essentially pushed the entire attack into overdrive. As Tiamat continued to sing, her voice started to change into a howling scream for dominance.

"Get down, all of you!" yelled Earl Yan as he witnessed the entire area shaking.

The clash of the two spells overwhelmed the area, sending the battlefield into a second of pure white. The last thing everyone saw was the emblem of Valokia.

As the blast died down, so did the Time Mage's pool of Elemental Energy. The two Kings tried their best to take care of their armies while the Time Mage tried finding signs of life in Tiamat.

"She can't be defeated so easily, right?" asked Raiyen as he tried to find the Umbra.

After the giant spell, Tiamat had fallen onto the forest floor. It was able to take down some trees and made quite a dust storm. Raiyen glitched all around but could confirm that Tiamat was not moving anymore. He then regrouped back to the Kings.

"She's down, for now," replied Raiyen.

"That monster's not dead yet?" asked Gab, shocked.

"I would find it hard to believe she could be so easily defeated," replied the Time Mage, sitting down.

"The Umbra copied the Headmaster's powers. It won't be as powerful as the real deal," reasoned Gab.

The group sighed as they concentrated on fixing the well being of the fallen soldiers. The Time Mage possessed no healing powers so he had to use 'human' methods of healing. But a soft rumble of the ground alerted the Time Mage.

He then dashed towards the fallen body of Tiamat. It was starting to rise. Its wings, though ripped, managed to stretch out. The serpents were long gone but Tiamat still tried to get up. The body was battered and bruised but Tiamat refused to back down.

"No way... I haven't got enough Elemental Energy left in me to defeat that thing," said Raiyen, as he stared at the monster trying to get up.

The army of humans looked terrified but they were still prepared to fight once more. Earl Yan gave the command to aim, but not to fire just yet.

"On your command, Leader of the Vigilante," asked Earl Yan, preparing his sniper rifle to fire.

He was aiming as Raiyen tried to find a possibility out of the situation. The Time Boy glanced at the remaining army. There was no way in hell that the army can pull this off. And around this time, the Vigilante was not strong enough to deal with an assault of this caliber.

But as Raiyen wanted to give the final command, Tiamat shot up into the sky and made its way towards the Urnsfield domain.

"At least it escaped. I don't think we can handle more casualties on my side," said Gab, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The Earl quickly grabbed hold of Raiyen, scaring the Mage.

"Go after that thing!"

"Why? Urnsfield has the best Mages living there, so it should be alright for them to handle Tiamat. Besides, I need some rest," said Raiyen, pushing the Earl away.

"Z has taken Lady Roydon to the Urnsfield to recover!" yelled the Earl, in desperation.

Raiyen's eyes flew open as he took hold of Yan's collar.

"Why did you not tell me earlier? That's where the rest of the Umbras have gathered!" shouted Raiyen as he prepared to chase after the group.

"Oi! Wait for us!" yelled Yan, in a tired voice.

"He is a Mage, there's no way we can get there as fast as him," said Gab, placing a hand on his partner's shoulder.

"No, but we have our method of travel," said Earl Yan with confidence.

"Oh no... You still think you can ride that thing with confidence?" asked Gab, with fear in his eyes.

"Why not? To catch up with a Mage, one must use a pet of the same level."

"How did you manage to get hold of that thing?" asked Gab, looking at the Earl with a whole bunch of questions.

"Baldwin gave it to me. He said he had a spare," replied the Earl, rushing towards the stables of his mansion.

"A spare horse? That's unusual."

Gab stopped outside, waiting for the Earl to come out with the Puka.

"One of the offspring of his horse. It was a gift for defeating Vernice in a shootout," explained Yan, getting up on the horse of Dark Elements.

"You won against Vernice?"

"I was the one who taught Ashley," said Yan.
