Myumii glared at the meaty orc as the other three council members met up with them on the scene. Lordgor was drinking potions left and right, his muscles growing, and bulging from his skin, his appearance turning metallic, and the elements surrounding him. Greev folded his arms as he rested against a nearby tree smiling. Was this a joke to the four court members?
"Oh, ho-ho! You're in for it now, sweet-heart!" Greev laughed.

Fortis shook his head stepping forward, but Lordgor held his hands back, "I got this one, Fortis."

Myumii growled leaping forward to attack the orc. Energy burst from Myumii's body as her fist was caught by the orcs hand. A black shockwave washed over the surface of Noviichiah, the water floating in the air as the orc smiled. His breath smelling like rotten fish as he spoke.

"I've the strongest potions known across Lamethia girl... There isn't much you're going to be able to do."

Myumii struggled to break free from her opponent as he slammed his fist into her side. Myumii screamed, the cracking of her hips sounding out like broken glass. The orc chuckled as she fell to the ground, tears streaming from her eyes. The orc smiled as he wiped one of her tears away.

Lordgor shook his head, "You three couldn't handle this? Seriously? This is child's play!"

"Lordgor watch out!" Fortis shouted as Myumii's hand grabbed his arm. The mighty orc glanced down at his arm to watch Myumii drain the life force slowly from his body. The orc's body began to become a sickly pale, and his hair turned white.

Myumii stood up blood dripping from her eyes, "You're an ignorant fool. You should've done your homework!"

Lordgor fell lifeless to the ground, the other four council members in awe. Alister seemed to make a face with his expressionless skull, stepping forward.

"Damn it... Why didn't we know she was a life mage!? This isn't simply necromancy!"

Lordgor began to moan as Myumii glanced down at his motionless body. He tried to move, but she had nearly drained him dead. Myumii looked down at the orc with pity as she knelt beside him.

Myumii brushed her hand against his cheek, "I thought you were dead... No matter. I'll make this quick."

Suddenly the alchemist was gone, and the woman stood up to stair at Alister in front of her. Two orbs of light sat where is eyes should have been. He cracked his spine as he seemingly glared at Myumii.

"You are out of your league girl." The skeleton pronounced.

Myummi smiled, seeing through his fear, "Out of my league? By the time I'm finished with you five, Theo will be next!"

"How dare you!" Alister yelled slamming his skull into Myumii's head.

The woman staggered back, anger flashing across her face in a moment of rage. Her head swung back sending Alister flying back. His skull cracked as he landed on his rear. Myumii shook her head, as she noticed that Alister had been in her head the entire time. His body was on the ground still... she had broken through his false reality. By her feet still laid the orc, this time crawling away with one arm.

A crackling blow landed against her shoulder as Fortis slammed his mallet into Myumii's shoulder blade. Her arm fell limp as her chest met the ground. Fortis slammed his foot on top of her, his boot making contacting with her back. He swung his mallet into the air sending a blow down to her head. His hammer was stopped mid-swing as the woman flung her arm back, a magic shield at the last moment. Fortis growled, as his arms began to pop with his veins. They didn't have much longer before Lordgor's potions wore off. Fortis knew this had to end quickly. Once those potions wore off, her death aura would tear them to pieces.
