This time, it was a war within the Mages' area. By the time the second battle rolled around due to this problem, the Congregation was almost non-existent while the Pentacle Arks were starting to rise in both power and popularity ranks.
It was subtle but everyone knew that it was time for the Congregation to fall and let the new generation take over. But it was to every Mage's surprise when Old Man Pond, the founder of the Congregation, stepped forward to say a single sentence.
Those few words reminded everyone why it wasn't a great idea to provoke those who reign powerful. It made them realize how cruel and ruthless can one be if they were high enough within the ranks.
It made them realize that the Mages that were responsible for taking care of everyone truly did not bother if others were dead or alive. And that they should now be very afraid.
"Is there no way to hurt this guy?!" asked Raiyen, glitching back to Mavislin's side.
Forget about trying to defeat the Old Man; laying a single scratch on him currently poses a great difficulty towards the three of them now.
"Stand back! I'm gonna try this thing out now!" yelled Raiyen, spinning on the spot.
Mavislin and Baldwin retreated, Old Man Pond raised an eyebrow as he remained in the same position. Raiyen stomped his foot, dragging it along the ground around him. As the circle started to glow, three different Auras were produced from the Time Mage.
Baldwin was in awe while Ysabeau was impressed once again. Mavislin, however, looked concerned. He had pulled that move before; back when they were all trying out their newly formed Ancient Relics.
At that time, Baldwin easily withstood the attack, while it took Raiyen everything he had. If Baldwin was unfazed by the attack, then Old Man Pond would cancel out the attack even before it could be unleashed.
"Time! Electric! Nature! These are the elements I wield, I command. Come forth, bind yourselves and become one. Voltaic Creation Era!" yelled out the Time Mage.
The circle he had drawn earlier had fragmented into three parts, each being the source of the different powerful auras. Nova watched in awe as the circles' glowing colors, green, blue and yellow, were visible from the sky.
The circle then erupted into a pillar of light, with its top converging back into the interior, where Raiyen stood, holding his palm in the air. As the mixture came into fruition, it launched towards its prime target.
"Protection of Nightshade," chanted the Commander, forming a concentrated cloud at the Time Mage's attack.
The two attacks started to fight with one another, in an attempt to overwhelm each other. The disgusting color of Old Man Pond's nearly consumed Raiyen's vibrant attack until a huge metal thing soared through the air and divided the two attacks.
As the huge metal returned to its owner, Raiyen looked at Mavislin questioningly. Catching the thing with ease seemed to impress Baldwin, who stood at the sidelines.
He had long decided to not interfere if the partners were fighting alongside each other. Or fighting each other. Both ideas were bad in his dictionary.
"And since when you were able to throw Lord Atlantia like a discus?" asked Raiyen, placing his hands on his hips.
The s.h.i.+eld landed with a clang as she stabbed it into the soil.
"I was getting bored of waiting for you all the time, so I'd decided to invent a new way of pa.s.sing the time," she replied.
"You mean when you are happily destroying towns and doing the sweeps with the Guardians?" asked Raiyen, rather sarcastically.
"Why is my mother's hobby inclusive of killing others?" asked Nova, terrified at what she'd just heard.
"Long story. By the way, don't look for me for answers as to why Mavislin behaves like this. I haven't got the faintest idea. I merely came along as a teacher figure for her powers," explained Ysabeau, as nonchalant as her kid down below.
The Valkyrie smiled as she held the s.h.i.+eld above her head and threw it at Old Man Pond. He dodged it with ease, though the area that he once stood in was abolished.
"Looks like we finally got him to move," said Baldwin, panting.
"Don't celebrate just yet. This will be the first and last thing you get out of me," said the Commander, changing his Aura slightly.
Raiyen then fired another attack of his special move, Luminera Nova.
