"Gab would definitely kill me if I did this in front of him. But I am not a good person. I am glad that they aren't angry. I hope they can get reborn into a kinder world, where they can live freely to a ripe old age."
She then released the limp bodies onto the ground, alongside the jar of remains. She took a closer look at the machinery and the remains. Tissue enhancement... Raiyen had mentioned this before. The act of using remaining muscle tissue and bones to recreate a dead person.
And something scientific called cloning DNAs... Whatever that was. Mavislin wished she had paid more attention to the Time Boy's rambles. There is no Magecraft behind it but it seems impossible to do with such little flesh left.
Which meant that this person had the chance to dig up their graves way before the Umbra incidents. Hell, the person might have harvested it the moment they buried the bodies. But this technology should belong to the future, not in this era.
Mavislin did not hesitate to cremate all of the remains as well as destroying the machines. This made quite a ruckus and light show as she used her Fire Element to burn the remains. She was now sure that no clones of them would ever surface.
They could finally rest in peace. But though she burned the bodies, she left the decks of cards untouched. She gingerly picked them up and kept them.
"I'll make sure to give to someone who can continue your legacies," whispered Mavislin as she bowed to pay her respects.
"Have you finished with the farewells?" asked Ysabeau, knocking on the door.
Before she could knock another time, the door swung open to reveal Mavislin with darkened eyes.
"That was quick... Must have been messy..." said Bryan as he looked at her downwards expression.
"I didn't expect this to happen. For once I had hoped that it was due to Magecraft. Looks like we might be dealing with something of the distant future," said Mavislin, sighing heavily.
"So, do we have to call that Time Mage?" asked Ysabeau, looking at Mavislin.
The Valkyrie shook her head.
"Let's get a move on. As I said earlier, the road up ahead would require us to split. So, choose your partners and which path you'd like to follow," said Mavislin, heading to the west of the tunnels.
Bryan quickly followed her, leaving Ysabeau with Gab. The two remained in the dark until Ysabeau conjured up a simple fire spell.
"Well, let's get going," said Ysabeau, walking towards the east.
"You alright to partner with me?" asked Gab, following the High Queen.
"Well, it's at least better than that Slayer. We are constantly at each others' throats. So, this would be the best choice. Don't worry, I'll try my best not to kill you through the crossfire," said Ysabeau with a sly grin.
"You sound like you wouldn't mind doing so."
"I still have to keep you alive. The best to my capability, that is. But you have to play your part in protecting yourself. Because I think this place is the ones with the most guards," said Ysabeau, summoning her bow.
Impossible... They have just barely left their starting point and now they are facing the enemies?! Gab was speechless as he heard the clanging of metal. The first wave is here.
"So, you gonna show off your moves again? Or will you land on your bottom again," asked Ysabeau, slightly poking fun at the man.
Gab simply huffed as he pulled out two pistols. Loading them up, he pointed towards the 'wave'. Upon closer inspection, they were not from Albion at all. Thus, wherever they are from, they won't be going back. But this means that Gab doesn't have to hold back.
"High Queen. Are these humans?" asked Gab, softly.
Ysabeau scanned the guards. No trace of Elemental Aura or Energy. She was a tad bit worried that it might be the victims instead. But they weren't, they were armored and armed. This was going to be easy.
"Archery Of the Frosted Heavens!" yelled Ysabeau, drawing her bow.
A giant torrent of iced arrows launched out, instantly piercing the wave's armors. Gab looked at her spell in awe. She could have easily destroyed the whole thing if she wanted. Gab looked at his puny guns in comparison. The moment he looked at her again, she had wiped the entire wave out.
"Compared to the Husks, this wave wasn't that much of a group at all."
"They sound terrible. Hey, at least you've managed to wipe out the wave."
"But, this ice is a beacon. We have to get out of here. Now," demanded Ysabeau as she sprinted forwards.
Gab got the hint quickly and followed the High Queen.
