Hand in hand, they faced Ignus and his guardians. Napansin ko naman na lalong nag-iiba ang mukha nina Arsen at Ignus at sa bawat oras na nasasayang ay lalo silang tumatanda. Maging si Phoebe ay unti-unti na ring nawawala at nababawasan ang spirit particles niya.
Without a warning, Ignus attacked with a ball of fire from Hell, but Arsen was faster. The eight swords danced around him and one of it cut the ball of fire into two.
"Ariah. Gavin."
All of a sudden, Master and Gavin headed in our direction and faced the fireball cut into halves. Master used her armor to push the fire away and change its direction. It ended up falling into the lake, causing a huge explosion of water below. On the other hand, Gavin used his claw, cutting the fire into smaller pieces until they disintegrated.
"Don't let them interfere!" sigaw ni Ignus at bigla namang sumugod sa direksyon ng Spirit Masters ang Ministers.
"Reika!"
"Incen arma!"
Everything happened so fast. Isang segundo lang akong napalingon sa direksyon ng Spirit Masters at Ministers pero hindi iyon pinalampas ni Ignus. Magma erupted from his spear and it almost toasted me, had it not been for the flame barrier I instinctively chanted.
"Stay focused. He won't miss a chance on attacking us," sabi ni Arsen at lalo lang siyang tumanda sa paningin ko.
"Yes, Sir."
Hinayaan ko na lang ang Spirit Masters sa laban nila at nagfocus ako kay Ignus. Just like Arsen, his physical appearance has started to get older, but it seems like their abilities aren't affected.
"Is that the extent of your power, kid?" Ignus asked with a mocking tone. "The First wasted her immortality and the Second is wasting the immense power of the phoenix."
"Convena ensis," Arsen chanted and his swords looked agitated.
"Arsen . . ." sabay tingin ni Phoebe sa kanya at tumango naman siya.
"Tendo!"
The swords started to move and spirit particles gathered around them. Bigla namang tumingin sa akin si Phoebe at ngumiti siya.
"This will be our final gift to you," she said as her spirit particles dissolve into thin air. "Our time has finally come."
Biglang bumigat ang pakiramdam ko pagkasabi niya no'n, kasabay ng malakas na pagkulog at halos lahat ng ingay sa paligid ay nawala. I've only seen her few hours ago but she has been with me ever since I was born. Looking at her right now made me realize how lucky I am to have her as my guardian.
Dahil unti-unti nang nawawala si Phoebe ay mas naging mabilis din ang pagtanda ni Arsen kaya ngayon ay halos hindi ko na makita ang dati niyang itsura. But until the end, he showed us what he's capable of as the Divine General.
