"Emilia watch out!" Daisy screamed as the Demon took no pause in noticing my defenselessness as it appear in front of me ready to swing its sword to slice me in two.
"SH*T!!!" I cursed as I instantly discovered her ability with the sword, close enough so I couldn't step back from the sword swing, and neither too high nor too low for me to duck or jump above it, I insensitively stepped back in the direction of the sword was swinging while dropping back buying myself more time to try and drop below it. I started seeing a yellow spell manifest in front of me, dropping back bought me enough time for a bright yellow shield to form blocking the attack completely. I looked to the side seeing Daisy channelling her spell with an outstretched arm, "Thanks, Daisy!" I smiled. "Evrene! BLAST THIS FUC*KER!" I pointed my wand at the Demon girl's face, forcing my back leg into the ground to stop my descent.
"Igna-Maximus!" Instinctively casting the single strongest spell I knew without really thinking about the repercussions, (I'm so dumb) I thought to myself lifting my other hand to guard my face like it stood a chance to protect me when my huge fireball would explode at point-blank range in my face.
"LET'S DO THIS!!!!" Evrene yelled in excitement and with crackling energy she shot a huge rainbow-coloured beam that was probably large enough to engulf her.
With her attack deflected the demon girl also raises her other hand to guard her face as both our spells impacted her, I turned away closing my eyes hoping to somehow brace myself for the upcoming explosion.
I hear my spell impact her as a large deafening explosion erupted creating an instantaneous ringing in my ear as I wished to come out of this alive, after bracing myself for impact, one second passed, then two seconds, and for some reason, I felt nothing, (What the hell?) I thought opening my eyes as I see the fiery explosion all around me but somehow I'm unharmed. turning around to find Morain and Evrene, somehow my explosion was wrapping around us like we were protected by a spherical barrier.
"Woah what was that?!" Daisy yelled out in excitement as my fireball dissipated miraculously leaving us all unscathed all the while Evrene was still channelling her beam on the demon. Despite her resilience in trying to stand her ground, she was slowly sliding back by the sheer kinetic force of the spell until ultimately at one critical moment she lost balance causing her to be blown away a few meters bouncing off ground with signs of damage from all sorts of elements. Simultaneously Evrene also lost control of herself making her beam shoot up skywards carving a huge parting in the clouds above us.
"She's one very sturdy girl." Evrene flapped as the demon girl began to stand up again, almost unscathed from both our spells impacting her directly.
"Stay behind me, that way I can help protect you," Daisy instructed rushing in front of me.
"Is she resistant to spells?, why are all Demons bloody resistant to spells," I let out a grunt.
The Demon girl looked at us and with a raised hand crackling with blue lightning as she shot a thick blue lightning bolt that looked almost exactly the same one Evrene launched.
"CRAP!" I tried to yell knowing this spell would bounce between us and probably even knock us out if it came in contact.
In the milliseconds the Lightning bolt took to travel to us, a large vertical lighting bolt shot down intercepting it and blasting up huge amounts of dirt and ground and smoke into the air with a loud deafening boom.
"Paul!" I jumped in excitement as he finally arrived after seeing my flare.
As the dust and smoke settled a female student stood at the centre, "What do we have here?" A familiar recognisable female voice spoke out tuning to look at us.
"Calista?" My jaw gaped open as I began to recognise her. Her eyes and her entire being were letting off crackles of electricity like she was some God of Electricity.
"Oh, it's you, and the little Demon girl." She look at us a little shocked but then looked away.
"Watch out!" I reached out to Calista as the Demon took advantage of the situation swinging her sword while Calista was distracted.
"Do you mind?!" She looked annoyed as a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky striking the demon with enough force to knock her to the floor but still looked unharmed. "So the Demons ambushed you guys and not me..." She began to ponder, looking more vexed with each passing second, as the Demon began to stand back up, Calista looked even angrier her crackles of lightning became noticeably more intense, the crackles let off more light and sound and even crackle with more frequency, "Oh quite the resilient one or glutton for punishment?" She raised an eyebrow her outstretched wand began to crackle with lightning and with a thunderous boom released an absolute devastating-looking lightning bolt that looked even more devastating than the one that Evrene shot, but again even after getting stuck and thrown back by the impact it unrelentingly stood back up. but now the sheen of its skin showed hairline cracks all converging into the initial crack Daisy created.
"Oh finally a challenging opponent," She began to smile almost as if excited by some thought, "Little Demon girl and F-rank go help your animal friends, that chimaera monster looks like a handful," She ordered us without even giving us a glance and walked forward, I could feel my hair began standing on end as the air began to smell much fresher, her body releasing larger arcs of lightning.
"Morain please assist her if she needs any help or if something happens let me know immediately," I nodded to her and with a flap she floated away to her, staying far enough away to avoid her arcs of lightning.
Looking at the chimaera it was something truly nightmarish, a creature made of several other creatures mutated together making an apex ultimate monster, hulking and still very fast despite its size standing at over 7ft tall and probably even longer reach.
"Bloody hell," I looked in awe that even such a thing existed.
Daisy quickly focused on a spall making several hulking glowing armour knights surround her and follow her as she quickly advanced to the monster.
"Evrene, what's the strongest most devastating spell? whatever it is do that!" I ordered her in a panic noticing Helen, Morgana and Kohana struggling to even block all its tentacle attacks.
"Are you sure?" She flapped her voice slightly hesitant,
"Okay as long as you don't destroy the school to something!" I nodded.
"Tell your friends to run away, this is gonna be big and to hold on to something tight!" She flapped and began to fly up high.
"GUYS RUN! AND HOLD ON TIGHT!" I shouted pointing the wand at my throat causing my voice to boom out like a speakerphone and went to grab onto Daisy's arm.
"What's going on?" She turned to me.
"I'm not sure," as I began to launch a fireball out my wand colliding with the tentacles making the other retreat a little easier. Grasping her necklace Daisy began to launch bolts of lights at the tentacles as well doing little to no damage but at the very least stop them from attacking our friends while they retreated.
I couldn't quite explain the moment, but in a split second everything began to slow down like time itself was being slowed, a huge amount of Arcanum began pouring out of a tiny spec of black that appeared near the creature, before it can manifest I felt pulled towards it, like some sort of magnet, "Sh*t!" I grabbed onto Daisy's arm as my feet slid along the floor making me lose balance.
"The heck?!" Daisy looked up as she also felt the pull as her feet began to slide, before even two heartbeats the black spec blew up into a black hole the size of a person and the pull magnified in an instant as my feet left the floor.
"FU*K ME!" I yelled grabbing onto Daisy with both arms,
"Serra's light....." Daisy looked in awe as she also began to lift off the ground, "Sh*t" Daisy yelled out and slammed her maul into the ground anchoring the two of us down. "Hold on tight!" Daisy yelled and grunted as she lifted another hand in the air creating a sword of light and stabbing it into the ground anchoring us down more.
I looked in horror as despite being so close to the black hole the creature was still resisting, driving its tentacles into the ground to stop it from getting sucked in
"Emilia, I don't think I can hold us for long!!!!" Daisy screamed with all her might keeping the both of us from being sucked in, her arms quivering from stress trying to hold on for dear life.
I felt my arms begin to slide down her arm, "Blood hell!" I screamed wrapping my legs and arms around Daisy's torso holding on as tight as I can.
Again for a split second, everyone began to slow as another flood of Arcanum flooded out of the black hold making me dread what was gonna happen next. In another split second the pull suddenly magnified again as the ground itself began to show signs of giving up.
"This is gonna hurt....." Daisy warned as she closed her eyes and began to cast a spell. Two golden spears of light appear on top of us and with a decisive strike stapped straight down into the Daisy one piercing through her left thigh and the other straight through her right shoulder.
I quickly looked toward Helen and the others, letting out a small breath. They looked safe as a mess of tangled vines kept bursting out wrapping them in like a cacoon, with each passing second more and more vines erupted to reinforce the structure.
I looked towards Calista, she was miraculously hovering off the ground seemingly unaffected by the pull but using it against the Demon as it also struggled to stop itself from getting sucked in, like Daisy drove its sword deep into the ground and holding onto it tightly. With a large bolt, she blasted the sword out of the ground sending it lying freely into the black hole and disappearing swallowed by the black hole. The demon flew past us barely able to dig her hands into the ground fighting the black hole's pull.
Without mercy, another lightning bolt with deadly pinpoint precision blasted at her fingers making the Demon retract one hand in pain for a second before digging it back into the ground to stop herself from sliding back more into the black hole.
"Emilia! Catch me!" I heard Morain looking up she slowly floated towards me magically flying against the gravitational pull accelerating slowly the closer she got to me. She landed right on my face with open pages, "Seriously?" I mumbled as she slid down my face and down my body until she reached my arms where I quickly clutched on tightly to her.
She shuffled around my body so her pages were facing outwards, 'Please don't let go' she pleaded in my head as proceeded to cast a spell as a circle appeared in front of her. Out of her circle appeared an absolute torrent of water like the sea itself was flowing out of the circle. With one defining crash the Demon couldn't hold on, as she got flipped on her back and slid down towards the black hole like she was on a water park ride and in an instant vanished swallowed up by the black hole.
I looked down at the chimaera and miraculously it was still standing strong, its tentacles buried deep into the ground.
I looked in shock as Tadaaki and Yuna struggled to anchor themselves, still being attacked by the flying green demon balancing between dodging and not getting sucked in.
A flurry of shots, blue flame and arrows rained down on the creature trying to hurt it and make it lose balance, but it was useless, its tentacles were too deep into the ground,
"Morain! Have you got anything? my friends won't be able to hold out for long!" I gripped her tightly.
'Okay Okay!' She answered in my head, 'Everyone closes your eyes and look away!" She instructed us all.
At that moment I forced my head to turn closing my eyes and gripping onto Daiyand Morain even tighter with every fibre of my being,
'I hope u all have your eyes closed' Morain spoke to us again and within the next two seconds an absolute blinding light flashed out intense enough to shine through my eyelids and died out, It was so intense I felt my eyes burn and dry up making.
No more than five seconds passed when suddenly the gravitational pull stopped all our bodies hit the ground with a thud.
"Bloody hell!" I released Daisy and Morain as I just laid there sprawled out on the floor my arms and legs outstretched like a star, the fleeing of the ground beneath me, that terrifying pull of the black hole no longer present, I don't think I've ever loved the feeling of the ground quite as much as I did at this moment in time. At this point, I didn't even care if the Demon died or not, just the feeling of being out of imminent life-ending danger was enough.
"What in Serra's name that that?" Daisy let out a sigh as I felt her body sprawled out on top of my arms and legs.
"I'll, I'll explain later." I just smiled and relaxed, as I could see my vision recover ever so slowly.
