It didn’t take quite too long for the rest of the members to start nudging their eyes open. It was Elyenora who managed to pry Sereia’s eyes open first.“Ugh…” the swords lady mumbled under her nose, opening her eyes as she barely stood up to a sitting position. “What the hell happened…”“Rise and shine,” Elyenora stood crouching beside her, watching as the woman held her head with a hand. “Everyone kinda got forced asleep, we’re on the fifth floor now by the way.”“Huh?” Sereia tilted her head to the side, more confused now than three seconds ago.“The fifth floor?” Lanos stood up, seemingly without feeling groggy, unlike the others. “How’d we get here? And also...” Lanos turned towards Mon’Ter, who was working on getting Namir to wake up too. “Since when did the chimera grow wings? And horns… And an arm…&rdq

Lanos’ mouth went agape at the sight, he nearly forgot to breathe as he spoke. “That… Is Lord Spiritus Mora’s son?” “What has become of him at least,” Elyenora added, brandishing her rapier in front of her. She felt a cold sweat form at her brow, even before the enemy had stood up to stand before them the princess knew just how outmatched she was in a one versus one. Sereia, on the other hand, froze up, smiling while staring at the monster of a spirit before them. “Can I just go home?” “Shush,” Samuel put his hand on her shoulder. “It’ll be fine, we’re the ones making the attack this time and we’re also all prepared.” “Speak for yourself! I’m not prepared at all!” Sereia blurted out, pointing at the black sun. “Please do not tell me that’s a King Class corrupted spirit!” Samuel grimaced, biting his lip. “I don’t know its class… But...” “Might not be far off,” Namir finished for him, his eyes glowing brightly. “Spiritus Finis, currently

The five of them laid unmoving with auras surging through their every pore. Magic so powerful it caused gales of wind to implode in the surroundings solely from them standing where they were. It was an impressive sight, and an impressive feeling for them each.“Whoa…” Sereia raised her hands, looking at them. Sword in one whilst the other remained empty. “This is awesome…”“Yes…” Elyenora herself couldn’t believe the incoming surges of prowess. Stamina and energy she could only dream of at the tip of her fingers. “Namir’s spell is simply… Undeniably… Intoxicating.”“I told you,” Lanos smirked. “I hate to admit it too but, I’ve longed for this again.”“Don’t get used to it!” Namir made sure to add once more. “And do go get him as fast as magically possible!”“Right on!” Sereia clenched

“Tag team?” Elyenora questioned, her head tilting to the side, then shaking it. “I don’t like that idea.”Mon’Ter glanced at her. “Well there aren’t many other options, are there?”“Not now, but we could…” Elyenora began, only to be cut short.“There are no buts,” Mon’Ter rebuked. “Anyone other than me would die against him when he uses that time ability, Samuel has a few cards to play which would lead to him evading being targeted altogether. You three don’t.”“So you just mean to leave us in the barrier?!” Lanos thundered, moving up to Mon’Ter and looking up at him. “No, I’m fighting.”“How?” Mon’Ter asked him. “How will you fight when he can make it so you can’t move and then cut your head off?”“How will you fight when he cuts Your head off?” Lanos

‘Impossible…’ Finis thought to himself. ‘How could he…?’The deathly knight flew across the cosmos, farther and farther away from the approaching Phoenix that had become of Mon’Ter. His thoughts wandered anew, as his glittering eye of gold flickered endlessly. ‘How could he simply cut through my blade? Flames, and all?’Mon’Ter bared his teeth, swinging his left arm of flame with the might of a thousand suns, its crimson fire burning at the adversary as it neared.‘I can’t… Dodge!’ Finis’ mind fluttered into a panic, and thus, he used his ability.In an instant, the attacking Mon’Ter had been cleaved in twain from the chest down, the raging black flames burning his torso away into ashes while Finis stood more than a kilometer away, his sword looking brand new.‘That should have…’ Finis breathed a sigh of relief, he turned around to
