"So that's your Elemental Core, Valkyrie," noted the Father as he prepared for more attacks.
"Windfall!" yelled Mavislin, attacking Father head-on.
With a single strong movement of her crimson wings, the air around them started getting heavier than normal. The Father seemed unaffected until she did another strong flap of her wings. He was now kneeling on the ground.
However, it had only affected Father. Raiyen was confused as to why the attack left him unharmed. The Kunais were barely scratching her wings. As he felt it was of no use, Father stopped. Mavislin then retracted her wings.
"Sorry, couldn't help it. Now then, let's finish this duel off in one blow," said the priest as he threw out a bunch of Kunais at the partners' direction.
"Liyab. Tubig. Himpapawid. Lupain. Liwanag. Dilim.(Flame. Water. Air. Land. Brightness. Dark)..." chanted the man.
The air started to shift as the Kunais blew into the respective Elements of the chant. It then linked with each other and started to glow brightly.
"Oasis Ng Mga Elemento! (Oasis of the Elements)!"
With that said, the whole formation suddenly felt hot and burst into a huge ball of elements. And in the blink of an eye, Raiyen was out of the danger with blue sparks around him.
"Mav!" he exclaimed, failing to get her out on time.
"It has been years since I've shown my true wings. I don't even remember how the actual thing looks like anymore," said the Valkyrie, in a cheerful tone.
"What do you mean?" asked Raiyen, confused at what was going on.
He was even more astonished that Mavislin could deliver such a strong defense, both verbally and in combat.
"They weren't joking when they mentioned one of the troublemakers was the definition of a demon," noted Father, holding up a few of his Kunais.
"Since you've mentioned the word demons, explain to me this," said the Valkyrie, as she slowly stood up.
She looked at the man with a playful grin. She then launched herself upwards and into mid-air.
"How could a demon, possess the wings of an angel?" she asked, giving a huge flap of her transformed wings.
With one swift movement, the smoke cleared, Mavislin remained unscathed. No, she looked quite terrifying as she unraveled her wings. It did not bear any resemblance towards the pair of wings earlier. Those were crimson and big. This pair was golden and remarkably colossal.
In comparison, the other pair could not hold a candle up against the one Mavislin was showing off currently. Each wingspan well surpassed thrice of the Valkyrie's body length. Father's smile conveyed the impression of being fascinated.
"Zanier Alooz Carmen," replied the man, bowing.
He then looked at Mavislin and gave a sweet smile.
"Huh?" asked Mavislin, tilting her head in confusion.
"You can call me Z," said the man, once more.
"Uhh, sure? My name's Mavislin Roydon," replied Mavislin, slowly hovering closer towards the odd human.
"I'm Raiyen Phoenix," replied Raiyen, getting closer to Mavislin.
"I haven't seen a Valkyrie for years," said Z as he eyed the poor girl from head to toe.
Raiyen instinctively stood in between them.
"I don't like people getting chummy with my partner."
"Don't worry, this man has no interest in valkyries. Or Time Mages for that matter."
"How do you know who I am?" quizzed Mavislin, trying to look at Z from Raiyen's back.
"That stance and those wings. I know you can't touch the ground due to the weight of your wings when they appear on your human back," stated Z.
She was in shock from what she had just heard. Only another being would know about the feature of Valokian wings. It was the main reason why they had different types of wings, their true wings would mean using up a lot more energy, tuckering most weak Valkyries easily.
If the Valkyries did touch the ground with their true wings, the area around them would collapse.
"How do you know so much?"
"I'm not from this place. I've managed to live among humans since they believed in my human form. I got excluded from my own Universe and onto this planet. I think I was the first one here. It was rather hot. Had giant lizards and plants."
"Which planet?"
"This one, but was born in an alternated timeline."
Mavislin kept her wings and looked at Z. Gillian had appeared from behind the building.
"Looks like he went easy with the both of you," commented Gillian, patting on the two children's heads.
"You'd said I would be fighting against children, not a Time Mage and Valkyrie," replied Z, facing Gillian.
Mavislin laughed as Gillian ruffled her hair. He then dropped the rabbit plushie into her arms. She happily squeezed it tightly. Raiyen immediately glitched out of the strong guy's grasp.
