Chapter 62

Sting like a bee, float like a butterfly. Rumble young man, rumble.

Mohammad Ali

Revision: Sorry, for the past two chapters I wrote High Wizard Kathryne's name as Kathryn, not Kathryne. I apologize for the mistake!!!

Inside Geffen, a brawl is about to begin…

The moon starts showing itself, giving the lonely wind its companion, decorating the night sky with a beautiful light. Shining the very earth without knowing any boundaries on its path. Bathing the mountain, the sea, and the land peacefully with a divine beauty. Geffen isn't an exception. Widely known as the city of Wizard, Geffen has a hundred years history of magic, a common knowledge since The Wizard Association is located right in there. With Geffen Tower as its landmark, Geffen stood as one the most influential city in Midgard. But ever since Valdomir attack five years ago, everything has changed, including Geffen. Geffen was the second city to be conquered after Aldebaran during the war. Valdomir didn't let a single mage, wizard, or high wizard live when they slaughtered Geffen's townspeople. The reason was unknown, because they let some of the other cities townspeople to live. Five years later, in the beginning of one night, fifty four people are standing right in the very town.

Elraven and Frea are facing a Guild Leader, One of The Quarter Kings, and fifty high wizards. Two against fifty two does not sound fair enough, everyone would agree to that. But in this case, that depends on who are fighting. "I will take care of the high wizard and her bitches; can you take down that blood freak gentleman up there, Frea?" Elraven questions the soul linker quietly, obviously referring to Count Dracula. "No problem. But can you really take the rest of them down by yourself? High Wizard possesses the strongest destructive powers compared to other jobs; they would scatter this town in a matter of minutes if they want to. Are you sure you don't need my help?" Frea replies, worrying her lover's safety. "No worries" The gunslinger smirks, "Gunslingers from Einbroch wouldn't shost if we were to hesitate".

For a normal people, such words would sound like an empty promise. But if Elraven told you that, the words would mean nothing but a guaranteed victory. With a smile on her face, Frea dashed quickly by throwing Dracula a white colored Esma. The count quickly dodges it and sends her one of his bats. Using her taekwon ability, Frea knocks the bat down with one kick, as he sees Dracula flees towards the Geffen tower and enters it. The soul linker waste no time on chasing him and follow him inside the tower, leaving Elraven and the high wizards in the city all by themselves.

"The soul linker won't make it alive from the tower. Geffen Tower is already protected by a spell, so you can't interfere from the outside and she can't get out from the inside. It seems to me that she is quite a well experienced fighter, but she will not stand a chance before one of the guild leaders" Kathryne comments on Frea's act, pointing it towards Elraven. "Say what you want" Elraven replies, "But by the end of the day, that blood sucking freak would rest in peace, for eternity". Kathryn snaps, "Hmph!! You sure are cocky, Angel of Darkness!! Just because you defeated one of us and a guild leader doesn't mean your companion would be able to do the same!!". The gunslinger repositions his purple glasses, replies, "Well, who knows about that? By stating that, doesn't that mean you're even cockier than me?".

The high wizard glared at the gunslinger, anger start getting on her head. "You can talk me back all night long, but I think in the end, it's our powers who would voice louder!!!" Kathryne shouted and jumped from the rooftop with a water ball spell on her hands. She throws the water balls to the gunslinger, which blocked the spell using his HAVOX, making the waters splashed everywhere.

But five high wizards suddenly appear behind Elraven, with Jupitel Thunder spells on their hands. "Are they trying to use the water to conduct the electricity?!!" Elraven, realizing what the high wizards are going to do, quickly shoots a Scatter Mines using his Inferno after loaded it with the wind spheres to counter the attack. The sound of lightning clashing could be heard throughout the city, followed by some flashes. Using the opportunity to gain an advantage, Elraven quickly uses his wings to float in the air, and mercilessly bombarding Kathryne. The high wizard, however, anticipates the attack by chanting an ice wall and forming it onto an igloo like dome to block the bullets of HAVOX.

"Damn, she's good!!!" Elraven quickly shoots the Scatter Mines again, using the lightning spheres to break the ice wall down. But when the small igloo crumbles, he founds Kathryne already chanted the fire pillar and aims it right below his flying spot.

DUAAAARRRR!!!!

The fire erupts from below the ground, but Elraven successfully dodged it. But again, five High Wizards appeared behind him, chanting another Jupitel Thunder. But before they release the spell, Elraven quickly forms a light sphere on his right arm and throws it to the ground. "Flash Grenade!!!" He shouted when the sphere hits the ground and a bright light flashed, blinded the high wizard behind him.

"Now's the chance!!!" Elraven quickly pulls the trigger of his HAVOX and in a matter of seconds, kills the five high wizards by turning them into pile of fleshes, making forty five remains. "That's five!! The rest of your men are going down as well" Elraven turns his attention on Kathryne, only to see her smile. "Wrong, Angel of Darkness!!" She said as Elraven realizes, the five men behind him were regenerating and came back to live, unscathed.

"Don't tell me…they could regenerate too?!!" Elraven slowly mutters, seeing the magic. "Not quiet true, Angel of Darkness" Kathryne told the gunslinger, "I bet Leonid has already told you about The Spell of Dionysus, right? The spell given by Lord Beelzephir that granted us, The Quarter Kings, our regenerating powers". Elraven pays his attention on her explanation. "But you must know, Lord Beelzephir also help me by putting The Spell of Dionysus on the dead bodies of the High Wizards massacred during the attack on Geffen five years ago. He cast the spell on fifty dead high wizards, and making them like this, a living doll controlled by me" Kathryne finishes her explanation proudly.

Elraven sighs after listening the story, "And I bet it is also safe to assume that, they cannot be stopped for eternity if I don't put you down to rest, right? A common knowledge for zombie-master things".

"You're right" Kathryne nods, "You will have to kill me if you want to stop all of them. But can you do that, Angel of Darkness? You only have one life while I have The Spell of Dionysus. You cannot defeat me, gunslinger!!". Elraven didn't reply the mockery, but he smiles instead. "Heh, you know, lady…" He chuckles, "You need to stop blabbing an do more fighting!!!". Elraven dashes to the unprepared Kathryne in a demon speed, and before she could even do anything, Elraven smashes her down to the ground with his HAVOX, killing her once as her blood splattered on the ground.

"Impossible!!" Kathryne screamed when Elraven, not wanting to let this precious chance gone absurd, pins her to the ground using his HAVOX, and start shooting her mercilessly.

DREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDRERDREDREDREDREDREDREDRED

"Uaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!" Kathryne screamed as Elraven continuously destroying her again and again resulting in her bloods, bones, and fleshes splattered and scattered everywhere in Geffen. Kathryne dies numerous amount of times but The Spell of Dionysus keeps regenerating her body, although Elraven aware of this fact, nothing stops Elraven's ruthless HAVOX. Elraven's eyes filled with fire, he won't show his mercy until he puts Kathryne out of her misery. The gunslinger does not stop pulling the trigger of HAVOX as he continuously gains the upper hand against the High Wizard. After several minutes of shooting, Elraven stops pulling the trigger and looks at his work carefully, anticipating if Kathryne is still alive and makes her move.

After ensuring her death, Elraven shrugs off and sighs, looking to the other fifty high wizards, "As I thought, if she didn't give them any command, they would not make their moves. They didn't even do anything when I killed her. I guess the love you make is equal to the love you take. Pity you, lady". Elraven slowly walks from Kathryne's dead body, as suddenly one of the high wizards jumps off and splash his own body to Kathryne's, without Elraven having any chance to stop him.

A bright light glows and Elraven, much to his shock, witness Kathryne raises again, alive. "No way…" Elraven grunts as Kathryne slowly pulls out her Wizardy Staff, glaring angrily at the purple glassed gunslinger. "I'm shocked, that was a humiliation" The High Wizards says, "To think that in a matter of minutes I will lose so many lives that even The Spell of Dionysus could not handle the attacks and was defeated. What a weapon you have in your hands, Angel of Darkness". Elraven prepares a stance, "I'm the one who should be shocked. How did you revive yourself using one of your goons?".

"You want to know? Fine, I'll tell you, consider this as a prize for defeating me once" Kathryne replies, still glaring, "I presume you still remember that each of the high wizard possesses The Spell of Dionysus. I have told you in the first place that Lord Beelzphir, a high wizard, gave us the spell. What makes you think another High Wizard couldn't do the same?". Elraven smirks, "So, that high wizard gave you his Spell of Dionysus, eh? Interesting, that means I will have to kill you again and again".

"I will not let that happen!!! Lord of Vermillion!!!" Kathryne chants the Meteor Strike as forty five of the remaining high wizards do the same. "Oh, great" Elraven starts shooting his HAVOX again towards Kathryne, but the last four High Wizards who are not chanting the Meteor Strike, quickly appears in front of Kathryne, protecting her by chanting the Ice Walls and perfectly blocked Elraven's bullets. The sky sounds as if it's going to crumble as almost four dozens of lightning com from it, crushing directly in Geffen.

CTAAAR!!! CTAAAR!!! CTAAAR!!! CTAAAR!!! CTAAAR!!! CTAAAR!!!

The merciless lightning from above starts striking the gunslinger that dodges them by using his ability to fly. "This is not good!" Elraven flies throughout the city to dodge the lightning attack, which quickly appears one after another, rampantly destroyed any building they touch. And of course the ground they hit, making little rocks scattered everywhere.

As if she anticipates Elraven's action, Kathryne runs from the opposite point from Elraven's direction, with a Lord of Vermilion spell on her hands, ready to shoot it when she sees Elraven. The targeted gunslinger soon spotted by Kathryne, who waste no time on sending the spell to her target. Elraven tried to protect himself by covering his body using his wings, but that doesn't stop Kathryne. "Die, Angel of Darkness!!!" Kathryne loudly shouted when she throws the spell, which directly hit the gunslinger.

DUAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!

The spell not only give the gunslinger a taste of lighting, but also sent Elraven flies to the ground and harshly hit one of the buildings, destroying it. Kathryne, with a smile on her lips, pleased with her work. She slowly walks towards the destroyed building, "That's what you got from underestimating The Quarter Kings. Too bad, you died before you regretted it".

But suddenly, a large bullet comes out and perfectly hits Kathryne, killing her once. "Aaaaaaaah!!!" The female High Wizard let out a long wail and crawled in pain on the ground as her destroyed body slowly regenerating. She widened her eyes when she sees Elraven walks out alive. His HAVOX's backside cannon are still smoking, perfect evidence on his shooting the cannon.

"Y,y,you!! How?!! You're still alive?!" Kathryne shouted in disbelieve, not accepting the fact that her attack didn't work. "Simple" The gunslinger answered, "Don't you know that light and lightning have the same basic elemental particles? That means, one element would nullify the other. I protected myself using my wings to nullify your Lord of Vermillion. Simple, right?".

Kathryne, angered by the gunslinger's efforts, chanted another spell, "Storm Gust!!!". Elraven quickly dodges the spell by jumping to the rooftop to avoid being frozen by the ultimate spell of ice. "No way would I take that directly" Elraven quickly shoots Kathryne using his HAVOX again, but Kathryne anticipates the attack by teleporting herself to Elraven's behind. "Frost Driver" She chanted again and perfectly hit Elraven's wings, making them frozen.

"Oh, no!! The wings!!" Elraven, still shocked from the previous spell, cannot anticipate Kathryne's second attack as she hits the Frost Driver again, but direct it to Elraven's body, covering him completely with ice. "Now take this, Jupitel Thunder!!!" Kathryne finishes her attacks by hitting the gunslinger with the lightning spell and send him flying to the air before landing on the ground. Blood pool could be spotted around him, showing the fact that his wounds are quite fatal. It seems that the Wizardy Staff on her hands only makes her spells quicker and more powerful.

"Crud" Elraven grunts as he pulls out a Berserk Potion and drinks it. Katheryn jumps to the ground to witness her deeds better, "You didn't scream, not even flinching, that's surprising, Angel of Darkness". "I don't have to" Elraven rose, "Why would I scream when I didn't need to exploit my weakness?". Both fighters preparing their respective stances, as Elraven chant a Gatling Frenzy on himself quietly.

When Kathryne was about to throw her Frost Driver, Elraven suddenly appears behind her and hits her hard using the HAVOX, and again, knocked her down to the ground. The Gatling Frenzy and Berserk Potion combination makes his body moves faster than before. "This trick again?!!" Kathryne quickly tries to stand, but Elraven throw a flash grenade to blind her eyes temporarily, giving himself a chance to hit an attack. "Aaahh!" Kathryne covers her eyes using her hands, as Elraven shoots her using the HAVOX again, continuously.

DREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDRERDREDREDREDREDREDREDRED

The same pattern is being repeated as Kathryne dies again and again in the exact same way she had earlier. But this time, after making sure she's dead, Elraven quickly anticipates if one of her goons would try to revive her again. His anticipation was proven right as several high wizards could be seen running towards Kathryne's dead body. "Same old trick won't do me twice!!!" Elraven, wanting to ensure his victory, bombarded the high wizards before any of them had a chance to touch Kathryne.

After turning the coming High Wizards into pile of fleshes, the gunslinger stop shooting and start observing. "Good, it seems no one is pretty much alive to revive her again" The gunslinger takes a deep breath and slowly walks from the battlefield. But without him knowing, five of the high wizard dead bodies crawl in the street quietly and touch Kathryne's dead body.

Another bright light glowing much to the dismay of Elraven, who notices the light from his behind. "Not again!" Elraven turns his head to witness Kathryne's revival, again. "Can't you just die?!!" Elraven prepares another stance to fight the high wizard for the third time this night. Kathryne didn't give any reply but a smirk, "To think that I would have to use this spell six times against one man, what an opponent you are, Angel of Darkness. You truly are The Savior mentioned in The Prophecy of Eisenheim. You need to be stopped, right here, right now".

Elraven and Kathryne both stood silent, preparing their respective attacks. "Frost Nova" Kathryne uses the ice spell to cover herself in a ball like ice dome, which she floats to the sky, completely protecting her against any attack from the ground. "What is she planning? Does she forget I can fly?" Elraven prepares his wings, now completely unfrozen, to take him to the sky.

In the sky, Kathryne is preparing her attack, "I cannot let him shoot me with that weapon of his again. The only way to stop him is by using a Meteor Strike via my men down there. I have forty four men left; I'll use four to cover me in here and another forty to chant the Meteor Strike". As Elraven flies, from far away he could see four high wizards suddenly appear surrounding the ice dome. "What is she going to do now?" Elraven mutters as he sees dozens of Meteors coming from the sky. He quickly turns his head below; to spots the high wizards left in the city are chanting the Meteor Strike.

"Sweet…" Elraven grunts to himself as he tries to fly from the Meteors' range, trying to avoid himself getting hit by the hot rocks. But his effort was quite too late, as the impact of the Meteors Strike did not only destroy Geffen, but also erupting a great deal of explosion from below his point.

DUAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!! DUAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!! DUAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!! DUAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!

DUAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!! DUAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!! DUAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!! DUAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!

"I cannot get hit by those. One hit, and I'm almost certain I am out of the game" Elraven told himself. The gunslinger tries his best to avoid the meteors and their explosions, but being attacked from above and below at the same time proves it is nearly impossible to keep dodging, even for Elraven.

Although the meteors could not get him, their fires scratch him and wound his wings and his skin. He quickly realizes, the four high wizards surrounding Kathryne's ice doom are also chanting the meteor strike. "Perhaps…this is my chance!!" Elraven quickly dashes towards one of the high wizards with a light sphere on his right palm. Still avoiding the meteors, he closes in to his target. "Now, flash grenade!!!" He shined on of the high wizards brightly, but too bad that didn't stop them chanting their meteor strikes as more and more meteors fell from the sky.

He flies carefully to dodge the attacks as good as he could, but his efforts came to an end, as a Meteor suddenly appears right above him and hits him, blowing him off from the sky.

DUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!

Never before, other than when he fought Ifrit and Ktullanux, an attack hits him perfectly. Crushing his backbones and burned his skin, of course after destroying his wings. His HAVOX fell from his grip to the ground, as Elraven soon follows.

BRAAAAAAKKK!!!

His body landed in the ground followed by a loud sound. The purple glassed gunslinger lied motionless in the ground for several minutes, presumably dead. His limbs and several parts of his bones could be seen scattered in the ground. Blood covered not only his torso but also the ground around him. Literally, his body is destroyed.

Kathryne is witnessing from above, a big smile could be seen on her face. "I won" She said to herself, "No matter how strong he is, there is no possible way for him to survive after a direct hit from a meteor like that. It is a miracle, though, to think that his body isn't completely destroyed. Perhaps those wings of him protected him again. Too bad, this time they failed".

Kathryne slowly descends her ice doom to the ground and slowly walks out from it, approaching the gunslinger. "Hmph!" She smirks seeing Elraven, "You're a good fighter, Angel of Darkness. I admit, perhaps without using these high wizards of mine, I would have been defeated. What a fighter he was, to think that he would be able to go that far against two of The Quarter Kings. Perhaps he would truly gave Ifrit a run for his money had they got a chance to meet again. Too bad, that will never happen. This way, The Savior mentioned by The Prophecy of Eisenheim proved to be a failure".

"Like holy due with lights from heaven"

As if she could not believe her own ears, Kathryne slowly turns her head to ensure, that the voice didn't come from Elraven.

"Torched the hand that disappeared"

Kathryne was shocked and steps several points backwards, not believing what she is seeing. Elraven destroyed body is trying to stand on his two feet. "Impossible!! That attack should have killed you!!!" Kathryne said loudly in disbelieve as she sees Elraven wounds are starting to close, they are healing. His severed limbs and destroyed bones are also forming themselves again. Elraven is regenerating. And he is also reciting something.

"Looking towards heaven like pillars of stone"

With widened eyes, Kathryne could do nothing but weakly said, "Impossible!! Impossible!! How..?! It can't be!! You…you also got The Spell of Dionysus?!! But, how?!!". Elraven, now fully healed, repositions his purple glasses and calmly replies, "You tell me". Kathryne's face says she doesn't understand, so Elraven further explains, "Didn't you say that The Spell of Dionysus could be transferred from one person to another? Did you remember when I shined one of your men using the flash grenade? Don't you notice something weird?".

"No way…" Kathryne responds, "You…stole his Spell of Dionysus and made it yours? How did you do that?".

"Another simple answer" Elraven smiles, "When I defeated RSX-0806, I found out that I could use my light to absorb energies. Physical energies to be exact. When I figured out that The Spell of Dionysus is a spell that could be transferred, I bet my life on it, by absorbing one of your men ability to regenerate. Because Spell of Dionysus is a kind of magic that affect you physically, so I was quite sure I would be able to get it and make it mine. Now, thanks to you, I also have the ability to regenerate".

Kathryne was angered by Elraven, "How dare you use my own tactic to gain your own advantage!!! I've had enough of you!!! I'll kill you for sure!!!". The High Wizard quickly pulls back inside the ice doom and flies it again when Elraven runs and grabs his HAVOX, indicating that both fighters are preparing to launch their final blows to end this battle.

"Within a crown of earthly thorns"

Elraven recited again as he prepares his wing and his HAVOX. Then he gazes upon the sky, seeing his target before he flies.

"I will have twenty of them launching Meteor Strike while the other twenty launching Lord of Vermillion. This time he will be destroyed for eternity!!!" Kathryne ordered her goons as they did what exactly she told; launching two mighty spells at the same time. Meteors and Thunders are striking from the sky, as Elraven flies quicker than before towards the floating ice dome.

"Then within a mist of sacred dew"

As he continues reciting, the meteors and the thunders finally show themselves. The sound of the meteors falling from the sky gazed the air when the sound of the lightning cut the night into half, destroying everything they hit as they run their wraths on the very earth. The ground, the buildings, all of them. The sky is theirs; no living things would be able to stand such wrath. Logically, the rampage is unavoidable, even for Elraven. But as if he wants to defy all logic, Elraven moves aside one of the meteors before being hit and at the same time, protecting himself from a lightning striking his body by using his wings to cover himself.

And as if he wants to prove the feat was not just a fluke, he does it again with the next strike, and again and again and again.

Elraven continues swiftly dodge them all, closing him to the ice dome without being touched even once. Kathryne could do nothing but surprised to see Elraven closing, "How could he do that?!!! He dodges all the spells. He tried his best to do that before, but now he is dodging them easily? How?!!".

"Unto the earth that took His grace"

"There's no need to be afraid being hit anymore" Elraven ensures himself, "Earlier, I could not afford being hit by the spell, now, with The Spell of Dionysus resides within me, one or two hits wouldn't be a big deal. I can fly without any worries!!!".

When Elraven is only half a mile away from the ice dome, he fastens his speed and flies towards above the dome. But much to the surprise of Kathryne, he recites something as he flies, right on her ears when he flies across the ice dome before he continues ascending,

"I knew now, the divine wonder…".

"What?!! What did he just say? Was that a poem?!!!" Kathryne couldn't help but wondering as Elraven flies to above the dome, far in the sky. What Kathryne didn't notice is, Elraven already makes a line of light spheres on his way to the ice dome, preparing one final blow to finish her off.

And before she knows it, the meteors and the lightnings stop coming from the above. In what seems to be the moment where heaven show itself on earth, the light spheres start glowing as their lights covered the whole city. Kathryne, with a very confused look, cannot help but slowly whispers to herself, "What is happening? The meteors and the thunders stopped? What is happening?".

Kathryne could not do anything but witness when the lights starting to cover the sky, including her ice dome. But before she realizes it, she cannot move her body, not even her finger. The time around her seems stopping as the lights covering Geffen starting to vanish. Amidst the magic, Elraven could be heard finishing his poem,

"Magna D'Chronos".

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!!!!

In mere blink of an eye, the light spheres on the ground explode and a giant pillar of light shows up from the ground, towering into the sky and completely covered the ice dome inside the tower of light. "What is this?!!!" Kathryne, realizing Elraven's doing, trying to anticipate his plan, "What?!! What is this?!! I need to get out of he…ukh, my body…I cannot move…". The female high wizard suddenly remembers when Elraven said he could absorb physical energy using his light. "This must be it; he is draining my power so I cannot escape from the ice dome" She said weakly as she slowly fall down on her own ice floor inside her ice dome.

Seeing her struggling from above the sky, Elraven slowly speaks, "Magna D'Chronos, a towering light that would absorb your energy, turning it into hundreds spheres of light. And as your body grows weaker and weaker, one last touch from me using HAVOX will push you down, and destroy you into spheres of light".

Elraven, floats among the meteors and the thunders inside his light tower, aiming his HAVOX perfectly to the ice dome, "You gave me quite a prize, lady. Now, I must bid you farewell". And with that, Elraven pulls the trigger of his HAVOX.

DREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDREDRERDREDREDREDREDREDREDRED

The thousands of bullets destroy the ice dome in a matter of seconds, and hits Kathryne as she falls down from the sky, killing her many times in the process. "No way!!! No way!!" She shouts in disbelieve as she realizes, her body is slowly turning into spheres of light. "I cannot be defeated like this!!! I cannot be defeated like thiiiiiiiiisss!!!!!!!!!" She lets out a long wail as her body vanished into spheres of lights, affected by both The Magna D'Chronos and HAVOX at the same time.

The four high wizards on the sky were also turned into spheres of light as they fell from the sky and hit the ground, covering Geffen and the remaining high wizards in a bright flash of light.

When the light slowly vanishes, the rest of the high wizards follow their master, being turned into thousands of little light spheres as Elraven slowly descending from the sky, ending his battle with another victory.

After taking a deep breath, he takes a good look at both his palm. "With this newly acquired power, I will make him pay" Elraven says, obviously referring to the Fire God of Midgard as he clenched his fists, "I definitely will".

****

Well, that's it for Elraven vs Kathryne!!! Wow, I updated twice in a week, LOL!!! Starting form this week, I cannot update regularly because I will be having finals till the end of this month. So, I deeply apologize for the inconvenience. Don't worry; we can still contacting each other by using private messages.

About Magna D'Chronos, as the newly acquired technique (which is also very powerful), Elraven needs to recite poem I put in the middle of the paragraphs. Guess from what move this technique was inspired? (^^)

The poem Magna D'Chronos is actually the combination of four poems about holiness, consist of The Hand, The Garden, The Mist, and The Thorns.

On storyline notes, I put Elraven's battle on the first rather than his friends to test myself, if I put my ace first, can I still put up good fights for his friends?

I know this battle is shorter than Elraven's fight against Leonid, but that was also because he became stronger than before. It would be weird if he grows stronger but his opponent didn't seem to get affected, right? Another stereotype I hate from anime/manga. Either way, I hope this chapter didn't disappoint the readers.

Thank u for reading, see u next chapter!!! (^^)
