Chapter 9 - Queen Astrid vs Archmage Iode (part 4)

The Valkyries, seeing their queen defeat the Hippogriff has given them hope and energized them to fight against these Kaiju's.

Commander Anise, which has now ridden a dragon whose species are called "Draconis", breathe fire on one Hippogriff, then she jumps off the "Draconis" and gave a gust of wind to increase the intensity of the flame.

The Hippogriff is not stupid, it knows the the fire is strong enough to critically wound it, to defend itself, it made a wall of earth to block the flames, but the flame was too strong for the wall to contain, so it starts to crumble.

The wall lasted long enough to allow the Hippogriff fly off the place. Commander Anise tried to follow the Hippogriff but the gust of wind coming from the Hippogriff pushes the commander back, but she was saved by the Draconis dragon.

"How the hell are we suppose to beat this thing, they are quite intelligent and strong". thought commander Anise as she looks at the battlefield.

Back to Queen Astrid and Archmage Iode, both have been fighting and Queen Astrid was quite mesmerized by the swordsmanship of the Archmage.

"This crazy old man isn't fighting like your typical mage, it's like he's using the Valkyrie style of spearmanship despite fighting like a swordsman " Queen Astrid thought.

"I gotta give it to you, Archmage, i never expected a mage or a wizard to know swordsmanship, but too bad you are facing me". Queen Astrid said.

Archmage Iode scoffed at this remark and said "you haven't overpowered me despite your high skills in uh ... spearmanship? and your so called blessing of goddess Valkyrina".

Archmage Iode was right, she haven't overpowered him at all, nor did she find any openings. Though she has a lot of stamina, this fight will take too long and as she sees it, the Archmage can supply himself with enough energy but she will run out.

This made her change her style, now, instead of just fighting with a lance infused with mana to create flame, she sprouts wings from her back.

The wings was black in colour and it's a membraneous one, just like those of a bat and dragons. She flew up and let out a gust of flame from her hands.

Archmage Iode covered himself with a shield but the queen is yet to finish.

"Flame claw! Flame missile!!". Queen Astrid shouted as she swung her lance sideways and flame in form of claws and missiles were directed towards the Hippogriffs the Valkyries were fighting in the background.

"Only a fool will keep attacking in the same manner". Queen Astrid as she made a magic circle in her hand. Red aura starts to form around her, her eyes glows red. Then an aura in the image of a Valkyrie warrior was around her.

"This is getting more interesting". The Archmage said while smiling.

"This feeling, i haven't felt it in a while, since i fought Queen Bathsheba and that Stickman necromancer many years ago".
