"Barbara, are you alright?". Tony asked.
"I am, thanks for asking". Barbara replied.
They both watched the Valkyrie as she stabbed herself and commited suicide.
"I never knew you had such dangerous spell hidden under your sleeve". Tony said.
"Orpheus and Igor aren't the only ones cooking up new spells, though I'm not versatile in combat spells, but using common ailments with drops of poison is a dangerous weapon " Barbara replied.
"Enough with the chitchat, let go assist the others ". Tony said.

"Kaboom!" Larmore shouts as a talisman explodes in front of the goblin.
"Ah, I see, so you've drawn down inscriptions on paper so you can use as traps, good, good, but it wouldn't be enough for an expert in explosives like me". The goblin said out loud.
"Really? Have you heard of count Larmore, the innovator of the south lands ". Larmore said.
"You mean the count Larmore that owed a huge amount of debt because he kept funding unfeasible business merchandise, he was so foolish and gullible ". The goblin sneered.
"They were not unfeasible, those hypocrite nobles plunged me into harrowing debt because if my inventions succeeds, their source of income would disappear...".
"Enough talk, you are probably one of the people that put me in that calamity, now you want to end me? I'll make sure I see the end of all the hypocrite nobles, starting with you!". Larmore said all flared up.
"Muahahaha, let's see if gulli-Larmore has what it takes to put me down". The goblin said.
Larmore had a pouch with him which he wore from his right shoulder to his abdomen. He reached out to it and took a green paper with reddish inscriptions on it, he faced the paper to the front and said:
"Element seeker orbs!". Four balls of blue, green, yellow and red starts to swirl around him.
*Smirks*
"Rain of bombs, showering explosives". The goblin casts
*Peeeeew*
Sounds of falling incendiaries were upon Larmore, but he did not fright, he looked at the falling weapons calm and composed. He raised the orbs swirling around him to intercept the bombs.
*Kaboom, boom, boom, boom!!!*
"Muahahaha, incredible, with just four orbs you stopped hundreds of raining bombs, seems that star level of yours is really helpful". The goblin said.
"Incandesce power of mystic energy". The goblin casts. A huge powerful beams of fiery condensation spews out from the goblin hands.
Larmore in response, took out a talisman inscribed in runes and faced it towards the furnace blasted to him. The talisman glowed and the huge beams directed to him became absorbed by the talisman.
The goblin was stunned, how much power did Larmore put into the paper to be able to absorb such powerful attack. While stunned, Larmore wastes no time, the talisman he used, he brought it up again and said:
"Have the taste of your own medicine!". The talisman glowed and the huge beams that was once directed to him reversed, and headed to the goblin.
"This is insanity, how is this possible! Aaargh!". The goblin wailed as the scorching blast roasted him up and fell on the ground all darkened, with steam oozing out of him.
"That's the power of innovation". Larmore said.
"Really? I'm amused ". The goblin said.
He rose up again after being scorched, this time his eyes shimmered green, his body began to rejuvenate and come back to life like they were never burned.
"While you are making this a daunting task, it's fun none the less". The goblin said.
Larmore became mortified, he didn't expect him to come to life after being burned alive like that, he took another talisman from his pouch to attack but he stopped .
As the goblin body regenerates, a hand suddenly stuck out of his chest, pulling out his beating heart in a single thrust. The goblin, as well as Larmore, were stunned.
The goblin looked at his chest, he could see the hand sticking out, holding his heart. Blood spewed out of his mouth and his eyes became widely opened. Then, the hand retracted and took along with it the beating heart through his back.
He fell helplessly on the ground, he could see his sight get blurry by the second, but before he closed his eyes permeantly, he looked at who attacked him from behind. He recognized the person.
"So it was you...". He said as he gave up the ghost.
Larmore looked at Tony as he held the heart in his hand and crushed it. He was flabbergasted, he asked:
"Do you know his weakness was his heart?".
"Kinda, when you smeared him with his own attack, I saw a gush of mana that circulated around his heart, not only that, I saw runes of spells etched on his heart. Surely, that spell was to revive him if he ever dies, while every organs is destroyed, his heart is always protected".
"It is a powerful magic, a revival magic, no matter how much his body was destroyed, mutilated, he would always come back to life, the only flaw to it was that he failed to account for people who doesn't use magic or mana, I deactivated my mana flow so I could reach his heart ". Tony replied.
"Gosh, I don't think I would have ever thought of that, thanks ". Larmore smiled.
"Let go assist the rest ".
