[15 minute 35 duos remain]
Northside of the Greater Forest of Aiz
Staring down from the cliff they look upon the lake.
"Dont those two look familiar to you?" Ezekiel asks Albeck.
"They're friends with Rose Providence" Albeck remarks looking back up at the Sphere in the sky.
"Hmm"
"What?"
"We should get on the move," Albeck says in his montoned voice as he points up at the sky.
"Judging from the amount of duos left someone actually might have more rings than us" he then looks back down at the two girls waving their hands fractantly "Help". Ezekiel closes his eyes and hones in on what they are saying.
"HELP"
"We should go help them," Ezekiel says.
"Alright"
buBBLE buBBLE
The two slowly rise to their feet. Dusting off their uniforms.
"A faint noise," Ezekiel thinks to himself for a moment as he stares at the lake. "Eh, it's probably just the fishes. He dismisses as he continues to prepare himself.
CLAP CLAP
Ezekiel claps his hands together, pats down his entire body, and cracks his knuckles. Inhaling and taking a deep breathe "Let's go"
VOOSH
The two disappear from the cliff they were once on and head down to the lake.
----------------------------
HUFF HUFF
"We're finally out of that forest," Lily says. "Bianca was right there was a Lake. Now let's see if she was right about people being here"
"HELP Anyone HELP" Lily yells.
"Anyone please!"
"HELP Anyone HELP" Lily waves her arms.
"Lily Cmon I dont think anyone would be"
VOOSH
"Help is here," Ezekiel says as he and Albeck arrive on the lakefront.
The two girls then point back at the forest.
CLASH CLANK CLASH
The noises that Ezekiel hears are in the distance turning his head in the way of the noise.
"It Valerus Marina and-"
DASH
Ezekiel rushes into the forest searching for his friend with Albeck following him.
"There fast we should catch up"
"Wait"
Bella stops Lily from returning to the forest as she looks to the sky.
"Isn't that"
-----------------------------------
"Wooah" Azalea holds her skirt and uniform together as Jericho takes her gliding above the trees.
"He must have great control of his mana this is levitation magic," Azalea thinks to herself.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes"
"What?" muffled by the speed they were traveling and the air.
"Yes!"
"Alright there seems to be a Lake up ahead but the action is"
Azalea then spots something at the lake.
"Wait go towards the lake," Azalea says as she tugs on Jericho's uniform.
"What why?"
"Please"
"Okay okay"
He then flies over the lake
"Oh I see your friends are here," Jericho says as he slowly lands on the ground.
"Azalea" the two tow girls come rushing to her side. "You not hurt are you?"
"Did he do anything to you?"
"Rest assured girls I did nothing to your friend" in a Frank tone waving his hands and dismissing the fact. "What are you girls doing out here?" Jericho questions.
"Well we were looking for help because Valerus and Bianca were in trouble with some spiders"
"Valerus Marina," Jericho says to himself. "Where are they?" Lily responds as she points back into the forest. "In the forest North East I believe"
"I see" Jericho with a smirk on his face. "Finally we will battle. Our promised battle"
Bella then walks over to Azalea "How many rings do you have?" Bella asks Azalea.
"None just the ones we were handed"
"We got 6," Lily says. "Cmon Azalea you guys gotta get some"
"You have 6," Jericho says in a curious tone.
Bella and Lily take Azalea behind them.
"Yeah you planning to take it away from us," Bella says in a defensive tone summoning her bell while Lily summons her dual whips. "I would make a wise decision Mr.Knight" Lily says sarcastically.
"Hmph"
Jericho slowly walks towards them.
STEP STEP
"You see I would like to take those rings from you I have other things on my mind but if I wanted to-"
VOOSH
Jericho appears behind the two girls placing his hands on their shoulders.
"What"
"So fast"
"- I would have taken it from you two from the start. He then turns around towards the forest. "Out of respect for my partner and you guys being her friend, I won't bother. If you wish to join me Azalea please do."
VOOSH
Azalea looks off as her partner looks to help Valerus Marina.
"Am going" Azalea.
"What"
"You going to help that guy"
"Yes he's my partner and if something happens to him we both fail. Plus I believe my magic will be needed."
"Alright let's go"
The three then venture off back into the forest.
BUBBLE BUBBLE BUBBLE
Lily then stops to look back at the lake. She looks in confusion at the water.
"Lily, what's up?" Bella asks.
"Oh nothing"
--------------------------------------
SLASH CLASH
I continually slash and kill all the spiders that go through that opening. With Bianca holding the rest of them back is reassuring but I know I'll be overwhelmed soon enough.
"Valerus!" Bianca yells out.
I look up.
The spiders are now climbing the wall to reach over the other side. One by one they start dropping.
Shit.
I open my left hand to summon my scythe. I hurl it towards the sky as it sticks in Bianca's wall. I jumped up onto the scythe's lower grip area and used it as a platform. With this platform, all the spiders that came from climbing got sliced and chopped down. Not realizing I just left Bianca out in the open. Without thinking I jumped down back to the forest grounds. However, I didn't realize she closed the gap in the wall as soon as I jumped near the top of the wall.
EARTH CREATION MAGIC: GOLEMS FROM THE EARTH
All around me, I watched as I saw bits and pieces of the ground formed into 10-foot golems. There are about half a dozen of them, Each golem color looks different from the other. Some are green in color with moss on them, others being the brown color of soil and dirt, and others just being made from rocks.
CRUSH SLAM CRUSH
Grabbing, slamming, and stomping on all the spiders that came through I could finally rest for a bit. They all had one goal in mind crush all the spiders that they saw. I look back at Bianca "Thank you Bia-" Gasp. I see Bianca struggling to maintain her focus as her hands shake, with the tiredness setting in.
I rush over to her side. "Bianca, are you alright? I think I overexerted myself there should be fine" The words that came out of her mouth didn't match the physical state she was in. The brave front she puts on is amazing but there's only so much she can do.
The horde of spiders then overtake the golems and the wall begins to crumble and break down.
Bianca then falls to the ground exhausted.
With the scythe in my left hand and the blade in my right hand, I stand ready to take out all the spiders and run towards them.
Slashing and cutting through the spiders. Throwing my scythe across the ground while cutting through more spiders with my blade in my right hand. Picking it up and repeating this process. Although it looked effective the numbers were too much as I soon found myself surrounded by them.
SLAM
Destroying all the spiders in the area leaving a crater in the ground.
A figure appears before me a familiar one.
"Killing all the spiders yourself is no fun"
Ezekiel Agnes joins the battle.
"Ezekiel you're here".
"Yeah so this is the help you needed"
PUNCH PUNCH
"Hello Valerus Marina," Albeck says as he destroys a couple more spiders.
"Glad to see you both alright" I express to both of them.
"Where is your partner?" Ezekiel asks.
As all three of us look over here.
"What happened?"
"Mana exhaustion the same thing that happened to you," Albeck says. "She'll be fine just let her rest"
Our short talk was then interrupted by the spiders.
All right. The three of us back to back protecting Bianca who was recovering in the middle.
IRON CREATION MAGIC: PILLAR OF CREATION
Albeck summons her pillar as he creates protection around Bianca. He fought the spiders using his gigantic iron fists that loomed over his head as he showed no sign of fatigue or tiredness while resting his hands in his pocket. On the other hand, Ezekiel was going wild kicking, punching, and swiping all the spiders to death as their corpses begin to build up.
CRASH SLAM CRASH
We looked towards the direction the loud noises were coming from.
"That's the main one," I said to the other two.
"So we just gotta beat that thing up and were fine," Ezekiel says.
"We gotta think of a plan too"
The giant spider suddenly stopped in its place with the baby spiders and then stopped as well.
"What's going on"
BASH
A giant hole is then blasted through the main spider.
"That thing was in my way"
A voice says.
"The person I have been waiting for Valerus Marina"
Jericho Pearson.
"Now can we have our match up" Jericho says with an ecstatic expression on his face. As he summons his long sword.
