Spectral Regalia

Ch 23: Countdown.....

While the fighting raged outside of the etilith shield as well as the angel Neriel trying to stop it, who seemed unaware of what the danger could be if it was indeed intended to implode. Avrin had dug several feet into the ground as it seemed as if it were melting downward. He intended to dig down and hide himself. He had thought of a theory. There was not one bit of mana in his body, therefore he had hoped they would not be able to detect him after everything was said and done.

At first glimpse he knew from the way they were fighting that he didn't have a chance and figured they have some sort of ability to detect mana. So if he were able to hide himself underground and reseal the entrance of the hole it would be as if there was nothing there. But he had a couple of problems.

The first was that should the elves win, they do know that there is something inside of the prison that held him. So they would be suspicious. The second was that should the angel-like creatures win, he had no idea how smart they were or anything about them. It was truly a risk. Avrin continued at this pace as he was now nearly 2 meters into the ground as the dirt turned to clay, which seemed to turn into a different layer as there were some roots that were quite thick in the ground which he also had to go through.

Meanwhile Abbadon seemed to be taking the fight a bit more seriously as he stepped up his offensive against the two sylph leaders, but it also seemed Syrana was irritated at not being able to press forward. She was used to overpowering her opponents easily, but here in front of her was a being stronger than her who still seemed to take it easy on her. Myra on the other hand was more worried at Neriel's progress and the gift granted to her by her goddess Lenaya.

Myra suddenly began to chant as she gathered mana into Moonwing. "Oh, goddess of life, godess of our people. Please grant your priestess some of your power in my time of need. Spreading wild, entangling roots, the ecliptic moon and its lover the sun." Moonwing began to emit an intense power as it began to emit its aura signifying that it was indeed a Celestial weapon. Although this caught Abbadon's eye.

"That will be quite dangerous." He mumbled to himself before bringing back Twilight in a stance that showed he was about to use his own ability to interrupt Myra. "Thankfully it seems like me, you're not taking this fight seriously. After all, many lives would be lost." He also knew he had to hold back for Neriel's sake and he was not as careless as to bring the sylphs above into the fray as that would indeed anger the goddess Lenaya as well as make his own goddess think twice of him.

"Reverie Tempe-..." Before he had finished speaking, he was interrupted with a volley of elemental arrows from Syrana who showed a smug grin. She continued her merciless barrage as smoke began to build up from where Abbadon stood completely covering his location.

As the smoke passed a shield had revealed itself as it pulsed with magic. "Divine Shield" The power of his shield imbued with his powerful angelic powers as well as his sigil's power was more than enough to stop Syrana's attack. As he prepared to slash towards her a glow of energy reflected in his direction as he turned to face it.

He was greeted by a hero level skill known only by Myra. He would be lying if he said he had seen it before so he didn't know what to expect. He kept his shield up as he intended to meet it dead on, having no choice considering that behind him was Neriel. If he moved Neriel would surely die.

"You damned fairy." He snickered. Myra had finished her spell thanking syrana in her mind for buying her time. It seemed Abbadon had stopped right before he attacked her friend as myra pointed Moonwing with the prepared spell towards him.

She spoke as he seemed to ready himself as Myra did so. "Lenaya's Thorn" A beam of green light shot from the tip of Moonwing as thorns and mana like flowers had formed from the beam as it seemed to fire towards Abbadon's shield.
