Chapter 33

AIS WALLENSTEIN

The scenes all around her were one of carnage and destruction, in a way reminiscent of the day she had lost everything. She had lost her mother.

And as she thought of that dark day, she gripped her sword tightly in her hand, her left arm lay there limp beside her, and she stood her ground between the corrupted spirit and her fallen comrades.

They had attacked the spirit together, hoping to bring it down, and yet Spirits were not monsters. They were beings far more attuned with magic, bearing intelligence and prowess no lesser than humans.

And so they had failed, all of them and despite their struggles, they could not stand against its mighty magics, and most of the party lay behind her defeated, and injured as Ais gripped her blade tightly and tore through the hoard of monsters, the spirit had birthed as she tried to protect her friends from their poisonous attacks.

BANG! BANG!

BOOOM!

She fought and fought, and fought with broken armor, and a broken as she refused to let this day be a repeat of what had happened to her mother. She would not let monsters take her friends.

She would not.

"AGHHHH!" and with those thoughts the darkness buried deep inside her resurfaced, as dark wings emerged from her back, manifestations of her own true identity, and power.

"Tempest!" she roared back, her own voice taking on the nasal twang of the corrupted spirit she faced as the winds roared at her command, blessing her as she blurred through the hoard of monsters, her sword cutting through them with a singular purpose.

SLASH! SLASH!

SWISH! SWISH!

And the monsters fell quickly, as she tore through them as a singular thought ran through her head.

Not again! Not again! She would not lose her family again, as she turned her gaze towards the corrupted spirit eyeing her with those massive, monstrous yellow eyes of hers.

"ARIA!" it called out as magic circles appeared above her, as Ais jumped into the air herself.

"Lil Rafg..." but before she could finish her chant, the spirit attacked her first.

"HAIL STORM!" and sent a massive toreent of flames straight towards her, forcing her to face it as she launched her own attack.

"AERIAL!"
BOOOOM!

And yet her attack came too late as she was sent reeling through the air, as she struck the wall, as pain seared through her whole being.

"AGHHH!" she screamed, as the spirit sent another attack straight at her.

She tried to move but could not.

"SHIELD WALL!" she heard a magic chant and saw Raul-san standing infront of her, carrying Gareth-san's shield.

"We need to pull back, Ais-san! We need to retreat..."

"SHUT UP! She roared back, as she pushed herself back up, despite her injuries picking up the blade as blood dripped down her face and arm.

"I will kill that monster. I will kill it," she snarled as the winds roared at her command once more.

"Aerial!" she jumped into the air as she swung her blade at it once more. The corrupted spirit simply turned its head to the side as her attack passed by its side before those eyes landed on her once again.
