Before Samuel could answer her, he found himself into a barrage of Arrows from two sides as Lucy let out her own attacks...
Lucy : Star Shot!!!
Light gathered when she drew the bow and started launching arrow after Arrow making Samuel givi9ng up on clashing directly and dodging with his wings and speed...
He waited for a moment to charge and kill Lucy as if he takes care of her the Spirit she summoned would go back...
Now he laments on the fact with ach passing second that he stalls, is a huge number of money gone from his wallet...
Samuel : Damn it...
Seeing that he was slowly losing the upper hand and in turn more money, Samuel suddenly became small making both Lucy and Sagittarius to lose him, they saw a small figure flying directly at Lucy and arrived upon her...
Samuel : You are mine!!!
Lucy didn't even react to the sudden giant battle form of his reappearing in front of him, she calmly placed her hand behind her and then thew it forward as Samuel cast his claw beams...
BANG!!!!
Samuel : Ugh!!!!
The next thing he knew was him nailed in the wall, he got instantly blown away and he didn't realise it until the pain hit his body...
When he looked at Lucy he saw her holding a whip that was bursting with magic...
Only the whip's handle was visible, this possessing a simple, cylindrical form with a dark brown central part and golden edges.
The lower one is covered in stud-like ornaments and has a small blue rope hanging from it, from which a yellow star-shaped pendant is attached.
In her hands, a jet of flowing water is created from the handle, which remains compact, and twists and moves as if it were the rope on an actual whip.[
However, that wasn't water but celestial magic as it had golden stars in its appearance.
What made him baffle was that in the middle of the torrent there was another handle but black with silver, metallic rings on either end
It was like she was using one non-existent whip to control the other one as it coiled around her...
His daze, however, was his downfall as at that moment he sensed several attacks falling on him as he was unable to move to cause loud rumblings and explosions...
Sagittarius : Weee... Moshi, moshi!!!
When the dust cleared, all three of them saw Samuel down for the count and Michelle run towards Lucy to check if she was okay...
Michelle : Lucy!!!
Lucy : I'm fine...
Lucy : Thank you Sagittarius...
Sagittarius : Weee... Moshi, moshi!!!
With her words taken to his heart, he slowly vanished leaving the two behind...
Lucy : Lets go we need to go back...
Michelle nodded to her and started walking towards the hallway where Natsu was located, it didn't take them more than 10 minutes to go down...
When they reached they saw Lara guarding Natsu and watching over Dan, Guttsman and Byro who pretended to be asleep and in the end they got tied up...
Lara : You two finished everything...
Lucy : Yeah... I would like though if we could meet with the Archbishop of this place...
Lara : If i'm not wrong he was controlled by Lapointe and should be waking up on his own...
Byro : What!!!
Lara : Oh?? Decided to wake up??
Byro : That can't be!!!
Byro : Even if that is true... His illness can't be faked...
Lara : That is a form of a curse overdrafting him and at the same time controlling him, which in turn Lapointe made all the shots...
Lara : If the magic is dispelled his condition will get better and better...
Byro : Then all this time i was controlled like nothing in the hands of a puppet??
No one could answer his thoughts now not Natsu not Lucy and definitely not Lara who was looking towards a certain direction...
