Rise of the Twelve Star Mage

Chapter 62:Every Rose Has Its Thorns

"I'll let you have the first-" Jonathan says with his arms up.

ULTIMA MAGICA: BED OF ROSES

A bright light fills the arena.

"Seriously!?" Jonathan says in a tired voice. He jumps out of instinct waiting to see what it does.

"Woah Rose Providence starts the match off with Ultima Magica, as Jonathan jumps to evade!" Professor Lop says excitedly.

Roses fill the rectangle arena covering the whole area with roses. Dozens and dozens of roses.

"She's starting with that!" Ezekiel says as he jolts off his seat.

"G-gosh you almost gave me a heart attack," Jericho says as he holds his chest.

"Hehe my bad"

"That's her Ultima Magica" Eriko says.

"She wants to end this quick" Bianca says.

"Its different from mine" Ezekiel remarks. "Yes it is you turned into a giant lion basically with all your skills and powers enhanced," Jericho says. "On the other hand it seems Rose's Ultima Magica allows her to change the terrain as well. Let's see how this plays out".

---------------------------------------

"Hey hey I dont wanna get caught up in this," Professor Kayneth says as he steps back. "Barrier" he casts that encapsulates his body which protects but also makes him levitate in the air.

The light then fades as Rose emerges from the light in a new form. Wearing a red strapless sleeveless leather suit, and black high-heeled boots. Matching her Rosegold hair color she dawns a cape that is surrounded by 4 rose-shaped orbs. Her chain whip now latched onto her arm had a thorn-like surface on it.

"That outfit," Eriko speaks.

Albeck watches silently with his arms crossed intrigued by what her ability can do.

"My apologies Professor Lop but let me comment on this Ultima Magica if we had a ranking for presentation this would get an S a true work of art," Randall Deximar says in an awestruck tone.

"Okay, I've been in the air for a little long. Let's see. A good idea" Jonathan then activates barrier magic of his own.

"Hmm," Kayneth says to himself as he stares at Jonathan's barrier. "This kid".

In an instant, Rose's Whip appears right beside Jonathan. "SHIT"

wuh-PSSSH!

CRACK

Jonathan's barrier gets cracked as he receives an onslaught of whip attacks.

wuh-PSSSH!

Crack

wuh-PSSSH!

CRACK

Inch by inch he gets closer to the edge of the arena "not good not good"

"Rose lays down an onslaught of whip attacks Jonathan is desperately trying to keep a barrier up!"

"If Jonathan doesn't think of anything sooner he'll be pushed out of the Arena!"

"Alright, it's either I release the barrier or I get hit with the whip OR?"

The whip comes around again.

FWOOSH

Jonathan ducks the whip and falls off the arena.

"Jonathan overboard!" Lop says.
