0713MM: Hey guys! I welcome you to the 25th chapter of The Silver Valkyrie! I do not own Black Clover, nor its characters, nor the OCs that are used in this chapter. The OCs and their Spells respectively are owned by Warmachine375. Chapter start!^^
Chapter 25
"Mythical Beast Magic!" Vetto roared. Nebra and Courtney went behind Asta and Friede, preparing their spells.
"LET'S DO THIS!" Asta, Friede, Nebra, and Courtney declared in unison. Soon thereafter, Asta and Friede charged towards Vetto. Vetto unleashed another purple magic beam towards Asta and Friede, but Asta and Friede leapt up into the air and avoided the attack, which Courtney then absorbed with her Spatial Magic portals and fired it back at Vetto, who then punched it away.
Interesting. Vetto thought. I would have thought that the Anti-Magic brat or the Black Flame Magic girl would have done something to my attacks. But instead, that Spatial Mage is sending them right back at me. Heh… Not bad for mere humans such as these.
"Remember, aim for his forehead!" Asta called to Friede as the 2 ran around the area while also being transported via Courtney's portals. "That's what Captain Fana's elf counterpart said for us to do!"
"I know!" Friede shot back as she and Asta got ever closer to Vetto.
"Heh heh heh! You pathetic insects honestly think I'd let you hit me?!" Vetto growled as he swung his fist at the 2, who then disappeared through one of Courtney's spatial portals. A spatial portal opened up behind Vetto, which he instantly sensed and half turned to face Asta coming out.
"Nice try brat!" Vetto mocked. "But the spatial spell's power and your aura give away your every move!"
"Did you forget about me?!" Friede grinned as she came out of another spatial portal and slashed Vetto across the face with her scythe. Vetto cried out in pain as Asta leapt into the action and slashed across Vetto's face with the Demon-Dweller Sword.
"This is my weapon!" Asta declared. "And I'll set you free! For Elf Fana's sake!" Vetto staggered backwards as Asta and Friede went through 2 spatial portals that brought them back to Nebra and Courtney.
"Nice going!" Courtney grinned.
"Now keep it up you brats!" Nebra added. Asta and Friede glanced at each other, then back at Nebra and Courtney.
"We're not doing the hard work you know." Friede told the 2 modestly.
"True." Courtney admitted. "But it's because of me and Nebra that you 2 are able to fight this way."
"Right." Friede nodded in agreement. While the 4 were talking, Vetto recovered as a large magic circle appeared behind him. However, its healing properties weren't working; blood continued to trickle down from both sides of Vetto's face and onto the watery rock ground.
I should have known trying to heal this wouldn't work. Vetto thought as he looked up at Asta and Friede. Whatever those 2 did, it cut off the very flow of not only my self healing magic, but also the little gift the Zogratis's gave me to increase the capabilities of my self healing magic. Because of this, only those 2 stand a chance against me. On their own, they could never defeat me. But with that Spatial Mage and Mist Mage here, the Anti-Magic and Black Flame Magic brats chances of defeating me have increased. Vetto curled his lips into a dark smile before laughing.
"How fascinating!" Vetto grinned. "Put you lot separately, you're nothing but trash. But with 4 of you working together, it seems you humans can actually fight!" He went silent for a brief moment before speaking again, a magical aura surrounding his entire body. "And I find that disgusting! You may think that there's strength in numbers, but that is nothing but a falsehood! Fake hope! Even if all of you were Stage 0 Mages, you could never defeat me! Just give up and let despair take its hold on you all!"
"Like hell" Asta shot back. "Come on Friede!"
"Right!" Friede nodded in agreement. "So let's go, Asta!"
The Seabed Temple citizens cheered as they watched Asta, Friede, Courtney, and Nebra fighting Vetto. Even Gifso, Acier, Captain Fana, and Mars were smiling from where they were watching from.
"Nice going Friede!" Captain Fana smiled.
"Yeah. There teamwork is impressive." Mars remarked.
"They're all doing great." Acier grinned before she frowned, watching Vetto closely as Asta and Friede striked him each time they came out of Courtney's Spatial Magic portals. "Hmm?" She watched another attack from Asta and Friede connect at Vetto.
What's he doing? Acier thought. Is this what I think it is?
"That's right! Keep it up!" Gifso spoke enthusiastically. "Defeat that monster!"
"Something's not right." Acier spoke up, getting the attention of Mars, Gifso, and Captain Fana. "Vetto is purposefully letting Asta and Friede strike him. Do you know why?" Captain Fana and Mars looked at Acier, then back at the screen showing the fight against Vetto. Slowly, the duo's eyes began to widen.
"He's been staying where he is and not attacking…!" Captain Fana began.
"So that he could figure out the timing of the 4's teamwork…!" Mars finished for her. Acier nodded to confirm what they had said.
"That's right." Acier spoke as she turned her attention back to the screen.
Asta and Friede came out of Courtney's spatial portals and slashed Vetto's body again. Just as the 2 were about to go through another portal, Vetto grinned.
There's that opening! Vetto thought to himself as he leapt in front of the 2 spatial portals and came up towards the 2's stomachs with Beast Magic: Bear Claw. Asta and Friede gaped in a panic. While they manage to escape a fatal blow thanks to Courtney and Nebra, Vetto still managed to graze their stomach areas. The spatial portals opened up and dropped the 2 mages in front of Nebra and Courtney; both breathing heavily. Suddenly, blood spilled out from their stomach wounds, causing both Asta and Friede to wince and clutch the wounded area with their right hand. Noelle was the first to react.
"Asta! Friede!" Noelle called out to the 2, while saying Asta's name in a much more concerned fashion. Unbeknownst to Noelle, 3 light apparitions appeared. One next to her, one next to Friede, and the 3rd next to the out cold Lily Aquaria. Next to Noelle was an apparition of a muscular man with long, curly silver hair with blue eyes. He possesses two sets of angel wings with the first set being larger than the second. He wears a full body robe with several buttons along with striped pants and sandals. The 2nd apparition (next to Friede) was a curvaceous young woman with long wavy black hair and black eyes. She possesses a pair of wings. She wears a gray skin tight outfit with feather themed headdress. And lastly, next to the out cold Lily Aquaria was an apparition of a tall and lean muscular man that has three heads and three small pairs of angelic wings protruding from his back. These three heads are unique; the right one has the appearance of an old man with a long white beard tinged with purple, the left the appearance of a young man with slicked back green hair and the middle head, an ageless face that has sharp teeth with a golden bowl cut. He wears a sleeveless toga with robes adorned on his body.
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other." The first apparition spoke towards the other 2.
"Humph. I suppose so." The 2nd apparition grunted.
"How long has it been?" One of the three heads of the 3rd apparition questioned.
"Too long." The second head of the 3rd apparition spoke up.
"Too long indeed." The first apparition agreed before turning to the 2nd apparition, which was next to Friede. "Though you're one lucky Angel, Jehoel." The 2nd apparition, whose name was Jehoel, scowled.
"Angel reunion aside, Raguel, Tarmiel, we have a user of Devil Magic on our hands." Jehoel told the other 2 Angels. Raguel and Tarmiel glanced at Vetto and nodded.
"Hmm...yes you're right." Tarmiel nodded.
"Come on! Let's get back out there!" Asta declared, wincing from the pain of his wound.
"This is...nothing…!" Friede grimanced.
"Hold on there Asta, Friede!" Acier's voice spoke into the main cave area where the fight against Vetto was happening.
"Eh?" Asta looked up. "What do you mean Captain Acier?"
"I mean you can't do the same thing that you did before." Acier explained. "You can beat him. But you have to be tactical about it."
"Is that right?" Asta questioned. Due to him being so focused on talking to Acier, he failed to pick up on Noelle and Friede's freaked out faces by seeing the Angel apparitions.
"Wh-Who are you?!" Friede shrieked as she stared at the apparition of Jehoel.
"E-Eh?!" Noelle gaped in surprise by Ragual's apparition appearance next to her. "I….I remember Mother telling me about the supernatural long ago…!"
"So then these guys are..!" Asta began. Asta soon began to hear Liebe's chuckling inside his head. "Hmm? Liebe?" He then snapped his fingers out of realization. "Oh! Now I know who they are!"
"Kek kek kek kek! That's right. Those are Angels." Liebe confirmed. "But I wouldn't worry about them attacking you. They'd need to convince there hosts to attack you. Kek kek. Which won't happen." Asta sweatdropped at Liebe's words in his head.
"Right." Asta nodded as he turned his attention back to Vetto. Vetto surprisingly, didn't attack during the whole ordeal. Instead, he just laughed like a maniac.
"Hahahaha! It doesn't matter! All of you will die in the end!" Vetto mocked. "Fall into despair!"
"Would you just shut up?!" Friede snapped, recovering from her initial shock of seeing Jehoel's apparition.
"You guys can beat him. You just have to play it smart." Acier spoke. "Me, Captain Fana, Vice Captain Mars, and Gifso will be there as soon as we can. Once we get out of this place we're in, of course."
"In that case… Let's go even faster!" Nebra grinned. "Let's do it, Courtney!"
"Yeah!" Courtney nodded, stretching her arms out to start forming the spatial portals again. "You ready Asta? Friede?"
"Yeah!" Asta and Friede shouted before running forward and into Courtney's spatial portals once again. Vetto's facial expression went from confident to somewhat surprised/concerned in a mere instant. Instantaneously, Asta and Friede came out of Courtney's spatial portals and slashed Vetto's chest twice, but then he used Beast Magic: Bear Claw to strike at his 2 opponents; thus causing all 3 to wince in pain.
We're all 3 of them hit?! Noelle thought as she watched Asta and Friede go through each of Courtney's spatial portals.
This fighting style may be absolutely ludicrous but… Nebra thought as she waved her hands to keep her Mist Magic: Spider Threads that was attached to Asta and Friede on while Courtney did her thing. Nebra soon curved her lips into a smile. It's working. But only someone like Asta would even think of such a strategy. She closed her pink eyes, then reopened them. But most importantly….it was that brat that changed me. I'd never admit to his face but…..I am really happy to have changed because of him. And so….. Her smile widened. Here I am now. Fighting alongside him.
"Hey brat! You better not screw up!" Nebra called to Asta. She paused, then added. "That goes double for you, Miss Rapual!"
"We won't!" Both Asta and Friede called back to Nebra as they continued to run around the area, along with going in and out of Courtney's Spatial Magic portals.
Time to mix things up a tad! Courtney thought. This is risky, but I have to try!
"Spatial Magic: Killing Saucer!" Courtney declared, waving her hands in several motions. The spatial portals that Asta and Friede weren't going through began to gain sharp edges that then launched themselves at Vetto. Vetto jumped back at the spatial portal saucers slices into the ground where he was originally standing.
"Heh heh heh! I'm quite impressed that you 4 are able to keep going despite the odds stacked against you!" Vetto remarked as he kept fighting Asta and Friede. "But you'll be at your limit very soon! Once that happens, all of you will fall in defeat! Then, I'll feed every last one of you despair! The very same feeling we elves felt so long ago!"
"Will you just shut up?!" Asta remarked. "You just don't get it at all! We will keep fighting until we can no longer fight! It's as simple as that!"
"Heh heh heh! Yes, keep telling yourself that, brat!" Vetto mocked before wincing upon being slashed again by Asta and Friede/
"Then allow me to use some spells of my own!" Friede remarked. "Black Flame Magic: Repentance Slash!" She unleashed a barrage of slashes at Vetto, who evaded them since blocking them was pointless.
"Eventually you'll run out of magic and fall in defeat!" Vetto sneered at Courtney, Nebra, and Friede, to which the 3 girls gnashed their teeth.
Dammit…! I hate to admit it, but the bastard has a point! Nebra thought.
"How are you holding up Courtney?" Nebra asked her fellow Silver Eagle.
"I'm hanging in there!" Courtney replied to Nebra's question.
But not for much longer, I'm afraid! Courtney thought. My mana is running low! If we don't defeat Vetto now, then everyone here will die!
"We can do this!" Asta declared. "So no giving up allowed! Got it?!"
"Of course not, brat!" Nebra shot back. "Why would I ever think of such a thing, when it was you who helped me and Nozel realize that?"
"Indeed! Mercury Magic: Silver Spears!" Several silver spears flew at Vetto from all angles. Despite this, he managed to evade. Noelle and Asta looked up to see Nozel on a higher ledge.
"Nozel!" Asta and Noelle smiled.
"I'm not too late, am I?" Nozel questioned.
"Nope!" Nebra grinned. "You're just in time to help us take this guy down!"
"Grah! All of you will taste despair!" Vetto snarled. "Mythical Beast Magic: Ganesh Pachy Stampede!" Vetto creates a demonic magical aura that creates a large ancient elephant that he sent charging towards Nebra and Courtney. "Since you 2 are the main problem, I'll take care of you first!" Just as the demonic elephant was about to hit Nebra and Courtney, Asta and Friede intervened and slashed it to pieces with their Anti-Magic and Black Flame Magic respectively. Asta with the Demon-Dweller Sword and Friede with her scythe. Vetto growled in frustration as his body became covered by a demonic porcupine magical aura.
"Fine then insects! Then I'll do this! Mythical Beast Magic: Hystricidae Artillery!" Vetto declared, speaking the spell in Devil Language. The larger quills fired out of the small cannons on the magical aura from Vetto's body and towards everyone in the area that was fighting, and originally fighting, Vetto.
"Shit! No time to dodge!" Astra gritted his teeth.
"Noelle! Now!" Raguel spoke Noelle through there mental connection.
I've gathered up enough mana to cast a few more spells. Noelle though as she raised her right hand up.
"To free Vetto, I must destroy the Third Eye!" Noelle declared. "And I have the spell to do that! Here I go!" Noelle got surrounded by a white magical aura.
"Mercury Magic: Silver Bullet!" Nozel declared as several small solidified mercury bullets fired themselves at Vetto, damaging him, in addition to Asta and Friede striking him as well. Vetto growled in extreme irritation.
"Argh! I've had enough! TIme to plunge you fools into despair!" Vetto roared.
"Yeah right!" Asta snapped. "Who has time to waste on despair?!" Soon after Asta said that, he pierced the side of Vetto's chest/stomach area, while Friede came in and slashed the other side with her Black Flame Magic imbued scythe. At the same time, Noelle fired another Purge Magic: Arrow of Salvation. But this one was aimed for the Third Eye on Vetto's forehead, which it connected on its target. This caused Vetto to cry out in pain. Eventually, the arrow dissipated. Elf Fana looked up, still weakened from her battle against Vetto.
"Whoa..!" Elf Fana breathed.
"Did we do it?" Noelle wondered aloud.
"I think so." Nebra nodded.
"If so, then we should rest before heading back." Courtney sighed.
"Whoo! They did it!" Gifso grinned. While Gifso was happy, Captain Acier, Captain Fana, and Mars frowned deeply.
"Something's not right…" Captain Acier muttered. She then turned to Gifso. "Gifso, we need to head to the central area where the fight is taking place. Thanks to Courtney, we can now leave here."
"What's wrong?" GIfso asked. Captain Fana frowned deeply as she pointed at the monitors.
"Look!" Captain Fana pointed. The other 3 looked up and gaped (minus Acier cause she knew something was up).
"Oh no! That monster hasn't been defeated yet?!" Gifso cried out.
"We gotta hurry!" Captain Fana panicked as the 4 leapt out of the open space and onto the ground, then proceeded to run into the cavern.
"What's going on?!" Nozel gaped. Vetto laughed as he grabbed both Asta and Friede's weapon arms with his 2 arms.
"Did you 2 really think I'd be defeated that easily?!" Vetto mocked as he tightened his grip on the 2 of them. "It's why I purposefully took your 2's attacks! Because they were hitting non-vital areas!" Suddenly, a dark red aura crept up Asta and Friede's weapon arms; thus causing a very loud crack.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Asta and Friede screamed.
"There it is! The scream I've been waiting to tear from your fragile bodies!" Vetto sneered. "Yes, humans! Fall into deep despair! Despair! Despair! Despair! Despair! Despair! Despair! Despair! Despair! Despair! Despair! Despair!" At this point, everyone that was conscious, and/or was regaining consciousness, bore expressions of absolute shock and horror at what they were witnessing.
"ASTA!" Noelle screamed. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Both Asta and Friede felt their right hands let go of their respective weapons as they fell to their knees. Asta's weapon was still lodged in Vetto's body, while Friede still held her scythe in her right hand. Noelle took a step back in utter horror.
"Asta…" Nozel breathed. "No….."
"Friede!" Elf Fana called out to her squadmate. She tried to get up, but winced in pain as a result. "Dammit…!" At that moment, Gifso, Captain Acier, Captain Fana, and Mars showed up at the scene. Their faces filled with utmost horror.
"Asta…..!" Acier whispered.
"Friede! Asta!" Captain Fana called out.
"Hahahahaha! So how do you brats feel now, huh?! You'll never recover!" Vetto mocked the downed Asta and Friede.
"Not yet…." Asta spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.
"Hmm?" Vetto mused.
"I'm not done!" Asta continued as he looked up at Vetto, determination written on his face. "It's not over…!" He staggered as he began to stand up fully. "I won't give up! Not ever!" Vetto gasped in utter shock, causing Noelle to gasp out of worry and surprise. Even Nozel had a surprised facial expression. Courtney's eyes began twitching, but not out of anger. Out of sheer happiness and relief that Asta was still standing. Friede began to stand up shortly after; just as bloody and battered as Asta.
"That's incredible…..!" Courtney breathed, still in shock. "How are he and Friede standing….?!" Nebra felt herself grinning.
"Haha! That's right brat!" Nebra remarked to Asta.
"We can still fight!" Friede, Courtney, Nebra, Nozel, and Noelle declared. Vetto just tched before roaring in anger as a giant demonic magical aura claw appeared around his right arm as he raised said arm up into the air and slammed it down onto Asta and Friede. Or so he and everyone else thought. Asta had grabbed Friede and leapt back from Vetto. Vetto got hit by more Silver Spears from Nozel to keep him away from Asta and Friede. An apparition of Liebe soon appeared before Asta. He silently pointed at Asta's left hand, then at the grimoire. Asta glanced over at Liebe's apparition, then at the grimoire. Suddenly, his left hand glowed a dark red.
"Whoa…..!" Asta breathed.
"Kek kek. It's called Anti-Magic: Absolute Cancel." Liebe explained. "This should reverse the effects of Vetto's curse placed on you and Friede's right arms. Though I do not believe that Jehoel, the Black Flame Magic Angel, will allow you to touch her host."
"Well I'm going to have to." Asta frowned as he touched his right arm with his left. Just as Liebe said, the curse Vetto placed on his right arm vanished. Only for his bones to regrow at a fast pace; thus causing immense pain. "OWOWOWOWOWOWOW! GODDAMMIT!"
"Kek kek! I suppose I should have warned you that doing so would hurt like hell." Liebe couldn't help but snicker in amusement.
"Urk…!" Asta groaned before turning to Friede. "Friede! Let me heal your right arm! It'll hurt like hell though since your right arm's bones will regrow at an incredible rate." Friede glanced at Asta, who was still holding her left arm.
"Sure. Then let go of me please." Friede replied. "Jehoel is….uhh…...not happy.
"Kill the Underworld mana user scumbag!" Jehoel growled angrily, referring to Vetto. Asta and the apparition of Liebe glanced at each other, then back at Vetto.
"She can't sense you because…!" Asta began.
"I have no mana." Liebe finished for Asta. "But quickly, heal Fride's right arm!"
"Way ahead of you, Liebe!" Asta grinned. "Anti-Magic: Absolute Cancel!" Upon declaration of the Anti-Magic Spell, dark red energy went from Asta's now fixed right arm's hand to Friede's right arm. When this happened, Friede shrieked in pain as her bones inside her right began to regrow due to the curse on it being lifted. While this was good for Friede, it alerted Jehoel of what happened.
"The curse has been lifted?" Jehoel spoke before turning her head to see Asta next to her human host, dark red energy on his right hand. "That's not magic… No. It's….." Her eyes flashes a bright gold color. "Devil power…. Rargh! Kill him too!" She took control of Friede's right arm and made her fire a Black Flame Magic: Repentance Slash at Asta from her scythe, who absorbed it and launched it at Vetto, who took it head on.
"Friede! What the heck?!" Asta demanded.
"I didn't mean to!" Friede protested.
"It doesn't matter to me!" Vetto snarled. "Every last one of you will fall into despair!" Captain Fana glanced at Captain Acier.
"Shouldn't we do something?" Captain Fana asked. Captain Acier glanced at Captain Fana, then nodded as she stepped forward.
"Steel Binding Magic: Perfect Cube!" Acier declared. Due to Vetto being severely weakened, he wasn't able to get out of the way as he was encased by the steel cube. He growled in anger as he struggled to get out. Nebra and Courtney at this point stopped their spells.
"Despair! All of you will taste despair!" Vetto continued to say in a frantic manner.
"Free him from the Third Eye! Please!" Elf Fana pleaded.
"I got a spell for that." Noelle retorted as she stepped forward. "Though it's probably going to be the last spell I can conjure up for now." She raised her arms upwards. "Here goes! Purge Magic: Tranquilize!" A purifying mist surrounded Vetto as it began to extract the demonic mana from his body; thus removing the Third Eye from his forehead. Vetto groaned and struggled, but to no avail. Eventually, all of the demonic mana he had been using was gone. Noelle fell to her knees afterwards. "There… We freed Vetto too…" Elf Fana couldn't help but smile in gratitude.
"Thank you Noelle." Elf Fana told the youngest Silva child. Noelle glanced over at Elf Fana and stood up slowly before flipping one of her pigtails.
"Thank Raguel for teaching me that Purge Magic Spell not too long ago." Noelle retorted. She quickly took notice of Asta and somewhat limped towards him. "As for you Asta…" Asta didn't even pay attention to Noelle until after she wrapped her arms around him, then proceeded to kiss him, surprising him.
"Mmmmmph?!" Asta tried to speak, but couldn't. He even tried to get out of the hug and kisses from Noelle due to his shock still in play, but Noelle slapped in the back lightly and proceeded to kiss that were awake watched in amusement. Most of them chuckled as a result. Acier just smiled.
I knew those 2 would go together in the end. Acier thought in satisfaction as she released Vetto from Steel Binding Magic Spell; thus he hit the ground. Elf Fana knelt down and examined Vetto's body.
"Hmm… I think because this body is of a real person and not a clone body like mine, I should be able to transfer Vetto's soul, now purified of his hatred for humans, to a new body." Elf Fana explained. Captain Acier and Captain Fana glanced and nodded in approval at Elf Fana's idea regarding Vetto. After a good few minutes, Noelle let go of Asta, the 2 smiling. The 3 Angels in there apparition forms, just watched the love scene play out.
"Truly a happy ending." The old head on Tarmiel's body remarked.
"Indeed." Jehoel agreed before snickering. "Hey Raguel, your host loves that boy." Raguel sighed.
"Yes Jehoel, I know." Raguel retorted. He glanced over at Captain Acier, then back at Noelle, who was now in Asta's arms being carried bridal style towards Courtney's Spatial Magic portal after a small anti-bird that he overheard Asta call Nero walk through the portal along with everyone else. "And we managed to get the magic stone here as well. So I say that this is a win-win situation. Although…" He looked back at Jehoel. "You might want to apologize to the Devil that's inside that boy's grimoire. In fact, you 2 are inside Miss Rapual's grimoire too, are you not?" Jehoel tsked in frustration.
"Shut up Raguel!" Jehoel snapped.
"Yes Jehoel, please apologize to me. Kek kek!" Liebe snickered as he suddenly appeared before the 3 Angels. "Don't want any bad blood between us, since we have to work together sometimes." Jehoel grunted in irritation, but knew Asta's Devil, who calls himself Liebe, and Raguel were right. She outstretched her right hand to Liebe.
"Fine. I'm sorry for making my host attack yours." Jehoel told Liebe. "It's just that….."
"You hate the Devils as much as me." Liebe finished, surprising the Black Flame Magic Angel. This got Liebe to grin. "If this is true, you and I will get along just fine. Kek kek!"
Back at the Eye of the Midnight Sun HQ, Patri slammed his fist into the armrest of his throne out of anger. He now not only lost Fana, but Vetto as well to the humans.
"I cannot stand this any longer!" Patri growled. Rhya entered the throne room-like area, yawning as he did so.
"We lost Vetto too, huh?" Rhya remarked. "Shame. He was quite the powerful mage on our side."
"What I don't understand is how Vetto lost." Patri frowned deeply as he stood up from his throne and began to pace the room. "Even with that little Body Magic mana our Spade Kingdom allies gave us to increase Vetto's healing factor, it still wasn't enough." He slammed his right foot into the rock floor, causing it to vibrate and crack a bit. "We may have most of the magic stones, but we are still missing 3. The 2 the Magic Knights of the Silver Eagle and Amber Phoenix squads, and another in another location. We need those magic stones to complete our goal." Rhya yawned again, then spoke up.
"I think it's best we lay for awhile and let the Magic Knights make the move against us first this time around." Rhya suggested. "This way, once they screw up, bam! We take the magic stones from them." Patri glanced at Rhya, then his lips formed a dark smile.
"But of course! How idiotic of me!" Patri laughed. "We shall play the waiting game from now on. I shall be giving control of the body back to William. Once that happens, open up a spatial portal leading back to the Golden Dawn base."
"Will do, boss." Rhya mock saluted as Patri changed places with William, who then walked through the spatial portal Rhya created. Neither of them said a word as the spatial portal vanished soon thereafter William went through it.
0713MM: And Chapter 25 is a donesies!^^ Took awhile due to writers block (I personally blame the summer heat LOL). Now this ending to the Seabed Temple Arc might seem a tad bit rushed, but if not, great! Either way, I have some really exciting things planned for the next batch of chapters to be coming. While I will not spoil what the juicy stuff is, I will say this: There will be about a 2 month timeskip from the Seabed Temple Arc. Other than that, I will not say anything more on the matter. Again, if anyone has ideas for future chapters that they'd like to see in this fanfic, please leave in it a review, or PM me.^^
