I swung both my swords as fast at the platinum blond girl as fast as I could. However, the two attacks fazed through her as if she were a ghost.
"Tsk. F-u-l-g-u-r...D-r-a-co," I chanted. Two bolts flew out of my swords and slowly merged into a large yellow dragon. The dragon flew slowly toward the girl who simply vanished before it could hit him. My leg and arm movement might've been speed up but not my voice or my spells.
If only Nyima were here, she could just use her anti-space and anti-time ability to break the spell. Though, maybe she wouldn't have used it. It did seem as if she was reserving it as she didn't use it against the pink haired Toran in black. Then again, if she did use it, she would be neutralizing the powers of nearly half our team.
Looking back at it now, she made the right choice by not using it. Stella, Sirius, and Orion had thus far proven to be dependable mages in battle. Especially since the latter's time magic made up for his limited physical abilities and water magic.
I turned around and gasped. I stepped back as the girl swung her sword down at me. A cloud formed around me. I held my breath. I couldn't breathe the dust in or else I would risk setting off my asthma.
I held my swords overhead and blew away the dust and just in time too as the girl swung at me once again. Webbing, however, stopped her blade before it could even connect with my weapons or me.
This thread... could it be...
"Huh?" the girl asked.
I turned toward my left and saw that my suspicions were correct. Ayawamat held several strands of silk in his hands. He chuckled and walked toward us as if he owned the place.
"You owe me one, nerd," Ayawamat said as he yanked on the webbing, yanking the girl's weapon away.
Why wasn't he affected by the time spell? Had Sirius or Stella broken its effects on him? Or was it starting to weaken? Or maybe Nyima was on her way?
"Who ask...ed you... for help?" I asked, grumbling. "I... could...'ve... blocked... it... my...self."
The platinum blond Toran charged at Ayawamat but I held my foot out, causing her to trip to the ground. I grinned at my bully. "Th...ere, fa...vor re...paid."
Ayawamat squatted down next to her. "Not bad, nerd. Now, let's see if she has the jewel." He took a deep breath but the next thing he knew, the girl was gone. "Huh?"
Stella warped over to us and teleported us away from there. The pain only increased as time returned to normal for me.
"Duck you two!" Stella yelled.
We did as she said and hit the ground. But it wasn't enemy fire we were dodging. Rather it was Stella herself who threw a shuriken into the air even though there was no one in sight.
Had the girl gone invisible?
As if on cue, the platinum blond haired girl reappeared in the spot the shuriken was flying towards.
