Kris yelled and cursed at Rina and she quickly pulled the spear out and landed in a safer area. He was writing around in pain as the flowers continued to stay on his flesh. Each petal stung and no matter how much he was shaking his legs, they wouldn't come off.
As he learned to use his Elemental Energy to help himself heal, the effect of the Wolf's Bane wore off. Rina knew that was going to happen, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Stage One: Malevolence of Lobelia!" she cried out again, throwing her spear at Kirs.
He quickly sprouted out a new pair of wings and faced off with the next move. He didn't look impressed at all as he crushed a piece of the spar. Rina quickly called the spear back, in fear that her attack would be nullified.
He smiled as he looked at her worried expression. But both of their expression changed as Kris got ready to push out another spell. And Rina was waiting to counter it. He cupped the sides of his mouth and took a deep breath in. Recognizing that stance, Rina prepared inwardly.
"Gale Howl!" bellowed Kris as he released a powerful wind attack from his mouth.
It was similar to a Valkyrie's howl, resulting in Mavislin finally showing some emotion in her eyes. But she thought about it and quickly composed herself. That wasn't anything like her howl. If anything, it reminded her of Old Man Pond's Roar.
The howl was powerful, anyone caught in the blast would surely have suffered major injuries. But Rina braved it with her spear. But since it was against the wind, she decided to try a new technique. Using both hands, she spun her spear, causing the attack to get dispersed.
"I should expect nothing less from a Mage like you," said Kris, looking at Rina with the devil's eyes.
This went on for the next hour. The two threw spells at each other. And both sides weren't going anywhere. This battle was long and drawn-out. And it's taking a toll on the Flower Mage. Her hair was started to change color the more she used her Magecraft. The tips of her hair were now purple.
Everyone could see Rina was losing ground fast and the two other Mages refused to step in. Bryan wanted to join in but the battle was too fast for his eyes. Her attacks were not as frequent or quick as before and Kris was getting stronger as well.
"Flower Dance; Stage Five!" yelled Rina, as she propelled herself to Kris.
She then dished out a multi-attack by slashing Kris's arms using a swift movement of her spear.
"Dividing Cyclamen!" finished Rina, as she heard Kris yelling out in pain and horror.
"Why you, dumb butterfly! You made me sick with the moves you come up with!" yelled Kris as he witness his flesh melting off from his bones.
"Says the one who became a monster. This Stage represents the flower 'Cyclamen', which is a flower symbolizing 'Separation'. Pretty neat, huh? A fitting end to scum like you!" yelled Rina as she dashed forward to thrust her spear into his abdomen.
But to her surprise and utter terror, Kris merely grinned as he grabbed hold of her spear. With his newly regenerated arm, he punched the butterfly away, square on her forehead. She flew back with such great force that her body dented the wall.
She coughed out blood momentarily before slumping down. Kris, in a matter of seconds, had regenerated a new limb. Something that would take years for human converted Mages to do. Mavislin was in shock but Ysabeau wasn't.
"Take this!" yelled Gab as he finally slid into Kris's side.
He pulled out his syringe that was filled with Rina's child's blood and injected it into the man's body. Kris howled but quickly recovered. When Gab lacked the reaction time to do anything, Kris grinned as he punched into Gab's body. His fist was halfway through his body.
Gab instantly coughed out blood as Kris changed positions and pulled his fist out. He then proceeded to kick Gab away, at the same spot that he wounded.
"Damn it! Why did you risk your life?!" yelled Mavislin as she quickly caught Gab.
Rina was furious as she saw what that man had done. That single punch would be an ultimatum to end any physical combat. A solid punch to the solar plexus, a bundle of nerves that is part of the body's nervous system.
"What a pathetic thing to do..." sneered Kris as he threw out another attack.
Rina blocked the subsequent attack as the Whirlwind tried to hit Gab once more. But Gab was down for the count and had blacked out instantly.
