Amarok eyes constricted as he immidiately recognize the figure. Midrel stepped forward shielding amarok.
" Hey little friend we meet again. Unfortunately I am not here for you today "Venifer smiled at Amarok
"Who are and what do you want " Midrel asked. " Today is open the open town in Alden right " the leader asked.
" Declare your identity and purpose for coming here first " Midrel said. Secretly waving at Amarok with her fingers.
"Purpose... It's simple. We came to retrieve someone " he said. Swain next to him bolted forward.
Midrel waved a rune was drawn in the void. A dazzling golden light Burst out. The void cracked and trembled.
The rune light bullet whistled forward. a light pilar circling with golden rings shattered everything on it way. Swain huffed and jumped off the bridge falling in the the voilent currents.
The leader stepped forward nonchalently he waved his hand colliding with the light. It shattered into nothingness sending tremors all over the area.
The light continued ot course severing the rocks on the side of the bridge. " not bad but you will need better than that " he smiled stepping forward.
Midrel heart sank when she saw Swain rapidly disappearing into the water. He was aiming for it.
But could he really?? . He would get crushed by the currents. No one could survive there not even the higher enchantress.
" Distracted " Venifer said from above his palm striking down. Midrel heart skipped a beat stepping to the side.
The ground fissure upon impact. She waved. Another rune flashed out. Golden lians wiped out. The rune Entangled dragons.
Venifer was unstoppable, he evaded the golden lians. Sliding forward, then he bolted and flipped forward. His palm striking for Midrel.
Midrel circled her foot evading by an inch, the whistling sound could heard as the palm literally thor through the void.
She waved the Entangled vine Burst from underneath shooting her high in the sky. Venifer was frightening running on the rising lians he danced and evaded those whipping at him. The void cracked and klapped under every whip.
He unsheathed his sword at lightening speed striking with surgical precision. Midrel heart flattered.
She tried to move her body but it seemed to slow down.The white light was slicing towards her neck.
She waved. The lians vanished. Out of a sudden they both bolted down . The light flashed above her. Slicing Strands of her hairs.
The duo hammered the ground. Midrel body rolling uncontrollably forward. Venifer dashed out. His sword gleaming with killing intent.
Midrel palm hammered the ground while rolling. A dazzling rune grew beamed out. Venifer sword sliced down but came to a brutal halt above mist.
He stared back only to see a Golden chain anchored behind him holding his arm. He was little suprise. Midrel could strike know but she retreated. In a flash. her instinct told her she shouldn't.
Venifer slammed his foot on the ground. a fissure broke forward exploding where the chain was anchored.
He sprang forward spinning his body and lashed out with the chain which was now attached to a huge Boulder.
Midrel gripped amarok and jumped through the city gates. The Boulder collided with an invisible force field crushed to nothingness.
Midrel stood up staring at Venifer, she wiped the trail of blood on her neck in shock. " Aetherial you are wounded " the celestial guardian had already rushed
" No one is allowed to step out of town " She said before they could move. " but with the light judgment we can handle him " one said.
Midrel simply turned to Venifer. " who are you looking for " she asked. " Someone in the grand Archia. You know exactly who " venifer approached but kept a distance from the city gates
The onlooker were shaken to their core. The Aetherial Midrel was wounded and in a fair fight against the assailant. Not only that she retreated and forbade everyone from stepping out.
Many looked with fear and panick. " You have softened Aetherial Midrel. " skly approached. city Lord, Alden academy headmaster and the Arcana elders where there.
Observing the line up the people began to feel reassured. The opposing party was alone what could he do. Agsinst all this figures.
" Be careful. Activate the town defence now " Midrel said without wait.
The city Lord laughed. " are you now looking down on us? For a single person? Your not ignorant of what it would cost to Alden. We haven't activated it for centuries " the city Lord said stepping forward.
" he is not alone, one of them went underneath the bridge. They should know about it " Midrel said seriously. She fell something bad was on the way.
" No need to worry, the current underneath the bridge are the strongest. Even me I wouldn't dare to step there. he has just gone to a certain death " the city Lord said
" skly why don't you handle our knew freind " the city Lord added. Skly frowned the bastard was using him as a bait. Could he say no??. He would lose all his respect in Alden. But then again what was there to fear. He was a rang four rune Sorcerer a smith, the enemy was a rune warrior he was at a natural disadvantage. There was only few rang four rune Sorcerer or warrior in Lower Elysium. If they could qualify as city Lord they certainly weren't weak. Although it was just of recent he was still one of them there was nothing to be careful about.
Skyl stepped out of the invisible sheild. Venifer observing at a distance was slightly shocked. " I don't have time to waist with subordinates bring him here now " Venifer commanding voice Rang.
" insolent. Am a rang four rune Sorcerer a smith. How dare you be so arrogant " skly feature twisted. Venifer was visibly younger than him.
Everyone stared with anticipation they where sure it would be over in few seconds. After all Venifer looked too young to be at the fourth rank of either rune warriors or sorcerer and anything beneath that he was no match for skly.
Venifer raised his sword forward. It gleamed with murderous intention. His deep eyes hidden underneath his hood. His hairs blown by the voilen Winds. The water crashing on the bridge underneath.
The sky was already covered in dark clouds. " bring it on " Venifer murmured.
