A/N: Well, this chap is probs gonna be a day or two late because I'm currently watching the Evangelion movies which you should watch if you already haven't.
Mini update on the evangelion movies, 3.0 was a shit show that made no sense. 1.0 and 2.0 were juicy asf though.
But anyways, I kinda don't have time to write as much as I'd like to right now so yeah. And from Friday to Monday I will be very busy since I'll be on my DofE expedition (Google it if you don't know what it is) So yeah, next couple chaps may not be very timely.
Irene Pendragon POV:
Although Ice Empress was fairly Mana efficient, it wasn't as if I could fight forever. Even with my large Mana Capacity, using it under such strenuous conditions was tough. And on top of that, my organs would end up failing if I kept up Ice Empress for too long.
The blonde man reeled his arm back, he was planning on killing Valier. I focused my strength into my legs and got in-between Valier and the man. Just before his fist collided with my body, I coated my forearms with Dragon Scales and put my arms in an X shape. His fist slammed into my body. I created several angled pillars that were formed from my shoulders and back. They created a sort of triangle shape with my body and the ground. They were basically there to stop me from being sent flying and to take some of the blow.
Of course, the ice was shattered instantly, however I wasn't sent flying back as I further reinforced my stance by freezing my legs into the ground.
"Valier it's your-"
I felt a hand grab my shoulder and send me flying back. I then saw Valier plant a foot on the ground and send a kick to the blonde man's face. The man blocked his kick and grabbed his leg, Valier twisted his body in such a manner that built up enough momentum to make the man loosen his grip slightly. He channeled pitch black flames into his hands, he placed his hands on the man's face and released a typhoon of pure, black flames.
When I took a look at Valier, I realized he wasn't even conscious. The man tore Valier off from his body and threw him away. He clutched his burning face and used healing magic on it.
"FUCK, WHAT KIND OF THIRTEEN YEAR OLD CAN EVEN DO THAT!?"
The man screamed in agony, however within a few moments he was up and running again. He still looked like he was in pain, but it wasn't like before.
"You fucking Hellspawn, how are you even fighting me? You shouldn't be able to fight while unconscious? How's that fair?"
Valier crouched down and leapt forward, as he leapt forward the man grabbed Valier's fists and clashed against him.
'People have fought while unconscious before, but it's usually only a few punches, or maybe a block. Not this... beast-like, murderous fighting style.'
I placed my hand on the ground and prepared to use another spell. However I noticed that my Mana stores were low.
'I can't fire off any huge spells.'
Valier began to condense heat into his eyes, the heat was so intense that even I felt something warm. The man sent a kick to Valier's stomach, and then grabbed him by the back of his head. He aimed Valier's head at me and a monstrous blast of heat was created, the attack burnt everything in its path.
I tried to block it, but its overwhelming force made it hard to do so, the attack stopped rather quickly though. It seemed Valier was running out of Mana. The man placed a hand on both Valier's upper and lower jaws and began trying to tear him apart. Valier wrapped his hands around the man's face and placed his thumbs on the man's eyes.
The man began to pull harder, it seemed he didn't have enough gas left in the tank to use those black flames. Unlike Valier's, they seem to use up a lot of Mana.
A/N: FYI, she doesn't know about Cursed Energy, so she'll call it Mana.
I rushed towards the man, although my body was exhausted, I could still fight. I put both my arms around the man's throat, choking him. The man began to build up an explosion of fire from his body, but I could hang on to his rapidly heating body due to my body's temperature and Valier was naturally heat resistant due to him also being able to use Flame magic.
When I knew we couldn't hold on any longer, I grabbed Valier and dashed away. I abandoned my Ice Empress form and created a massive Frost shield. I used my body to shield Valier's, so when the Flames inevitably reached my back, Valier took less damage.
I gritted my teeth, the sensation of my skin heating up, peeling away, my skin blistering and my blood congealing. It fucking hurt like shit, I didn't scream, nor yell. I couldn't lose focus.
I Dragonified my back, however the attack had already hit me, meaning I already took some heavy damage. As my Mana and stamina ran out, I fell flat on my face and passed out.
"Valier... run..."
Valier POV:
When I woke up, I saw Irene's body slumped over, along with the area around us being incinerated. I placed Irene down on the floor gently as I had made a deal to not harm her after all.
I swapped to Cursed Energy and formed Edge Of Nightfall, I only did this as the man was taking a second to catch his breath, I tightly gripped my sword.
I was going to have to go all out, I didn't have the stamina to use Hassan-I-Sabbah's Relic, Odin's fallen eye hadn't awakened, and the Fenrir was still unborn.
I gripped my sword as tightly as I could, and then I began flowing my dark flames through it. Heat was produced, the air was distorted, not a single drop of Mana was wasted as I poured more heat into my sword. The sword released a slow, deep and black glow.
