Chapter 212 - The Ark Of Azazel Vs Yggdrasil

As he picked up speed, his wings extended slightly and started to glow a pinkish hue on the outline of his wings. As he nearly touched Yggdrasil, Gillian had the cheek to summon up Black Lotus once more.

"Not again!"

Old Man Pond increased his speed as he circled Yggdrasil, leaving black streams and purple Elemental Energy all around. Mavislin looked at what the demon was about to do.

"I don't think it's very wise for him to go all out that quickly," said Raiyen.

"That's Old Man Pond for you. Always brash in his attacks, never taking a step back to think about the possible outcomes," replied Mavislin, shaking her head.

Old Man Pond finally stopped, flying right above Yggdrasil. Gillian turned his head to look at the enemy. A sadistic grin came over Old Man Pond as he balled up his figure. With Black Aura looming over, he released all the years of frustration onto the Tree Of Life.

"Merciless," started Old Man Pond.

"Ancient," replied Yggdrasil.

"Doom!"

"Cry."

A torrent of water came tumbling out from the Gate as Old Man Pond opened up his figure once more. His wings extended, allowing black ribbons of pure Dark Elements to soar through the air and pierce through Yggdrasil's defenses.

But the tsunami was proving to be a hindrance as the water could constantly regenerate and dispel some percentage of the attack. This infuriated Old Man Pond as he unleashed a few more orbs of Dark Elements. This time, with a red outline on all of them.

As the orbs exploded all at once, Yggdrasil gave out another wave from its Gate. As it moved its slender arms, the wave of water followed. This kept Old Man Pond at bay for a bit but further increased his anger.

"How many levels of anger can I get him to reach? I want to reach a world record," thought Gillian as he laughed.

Ysabeau laughed slightly at his thoughts while Yggdrasil sighed.

"I wish I could punch you, but Yggdrasil might get angry," replied Ysabeau, shaking her head.

"Don't worry, she's already pissed."

Matthew Pond decided it was enough running and stood, rooted on the ground. As he looked at the oncoming wave, he summoned up a single serpent. It stayed still, stretching its body to look like a staff. With its mouth forced to be opened, a dark purple orb rested nicely.

"Bewitched Jewel, draw your power from chaotic darkness. Let the evil of the world roam free and consume all..." chanted Old Man Pond.

The orb started to shine brightly, spinning within the serpent's mouth. He then pointed it right at Yggdrasil's head.

"Blackfang Bite!" yelled Old Man Pond, allowing the orb to shoot out multiple black serpents.

As each of them coiled up around Yggdrasil's form, a single snap allowed all of them to explode all at once. This caused the area to shake and a brilliant light show for another visitor to see.

"Of all the pets to come out from this household, I've always hated you. You damned Black Horse," complained the man in the shadows as he tried to shoo the horse.

"I'm just visiting. Besides, I'm not going to harm them. I've already lost my brother, I'm not going to start another brawl. Hey! Stop biting on that, it ain't grass! There's plenty of that over there!"

"Sounds like the Puka found someone, wanna go check?" asked Z.

"Nah, I'm more interested in the light show over there," replied Baldwin.

"The weapon of Azazel, I didn't expect him to wield that so easily," said Z, deep in thought.

"Shadow Viperlance, not everyone can withstand its power enough to hold it. Most people go insane just by looking at it, but this Mage can hold it."

The two clashed once more, with Poisoned Pond endlessly thrashing on Gillian's shield. Explosion after explosion, strike after strike. But Yggdrasil was having none of that. When Black Lotus finally broke, Yggdrasil took over.

"Lifetree's Aegis," mumbled the Tree Of Life.

Yggdrasil placed an arm out, with its palm opened. Like it was trying to give someone a high-five. The symbol of Yggdrasil formed in its open palm, its outline shining in bright green. As the symbol grew bigger in the air, tree roots sprouted from the ground, at the base of the symbol.

The Symbol of Yggdrasil was a sight to behold as it started to take a physical form. Much like Mavislin's Lord Atlantia, the Ash Tree acts as a shield. The tree had three parts. The tree itself, a middle part where a green hoop surrounded the trunk and the roots, with three prominent roots.

As it continued to grow, writings in Valokian, Behemian, Time, Abyssian, Atlantian, Voynich, Pyrophillian, Oracle, and Galaxian appeared on its roots.
