Sister Theresa led Little Fisher’s figure farther and farther away until the beautiful illusion engulfed her silhouette, making her invisible. Only the intermittent, broken sound of a bell continued to echo.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
...
...
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
At the sa mont, as the bell in the dream struck once more, interrupting the tender mont between Valentina, who had transford into a Phoenix, and Fisher whom she held close, they still faced an exceedingly formidable enemy.
"Fisher, are you alright? I’m sorry, I just saw the base of the Phoenixes; they gave their bloodline, so I was a bit late..."
"It’s okay, as long as you’re safe..."
Fisher sat up from Valentina’s embrace and first glanced at Erwin who had quickly fully recovered after Valentina’s strike. He roughly estimated Valentina’s current Soul Strength; her soul had completely taken the form of a Phoenix, and judging from her attack speed just now, she must also have reached around the Twelve or Thirteen Rank. Yet, such an attack was still like tickling Erwin, completely ineffective...
No wonder even Elliog needed to bring the Death Rune to deal with him, but this was a Gap in a Dream, where the Death Rune could not be brought in. Fisher wanted to construct but feared his brain might explode.
Fisher was silent for a second, turning his head to look at the increasingly distant figure of Sister Theresa leading his younger self, until the Gate of the Church School was fully closed. Then, he returned his gaze to the Erwin before him,
"Valentina, I need so ti now, Fourteen Ring magic isn’t enough to kill the Undying. I need stronger magic."
"Hey, wait... You’re in bad shape right now, do you want to rest so more...?"
Valentina unfolded her wings to make room for him to take a fighting stance, but she was clearly aware that Fisher’s current state of soul wasn’t good, so she reminded him as such.
But Fisher just shook his head, looking at Erwin who was draped in a white flowing cape, and said,
"If we rest for a mont longer, the two of us might have to die for love here... Be careful, I need a little ti."
"Mm."
Having said that, Fisher’s hands began to slowly construct two completely different Ring Heads, one for "Thunder" and one for "Destruction". The process of inscribing Double Ring Magic required extre caution, just as Mr. Helsen would need to be careful, and Valentina no longer inquired further but suddenly flapped her wings and looked towards Erwin from a distance.
The great battle was imminent.
Valentina suddenly spread her wings and rose into the air, while Erwin’s bird beak mask remained motionless. He simply kept his gaze fixed on Fisher, sensing his rapidly recovering magic power, and muttered,
"Such a soul recovery ability, is it the Soul Completion Manual or... the Magic Completion Manual?"
After speaking, he spread his arms, completely ignoring Valentina, who was about to attack him, and charged straight toward Fisher.
"Fall back!"
Valentina, with wings spread, ca swooping in, and Erwin lightly tapped the ground, his body becoming slender and difficult to predict. He dissipated into strands of flesh, each one fluttering in the windstorm created by Valentina’s attack. Then, those strands tightly grasped her flying wings and harshly dragged her to the ground.
Inertia caused her to slide forward at a high speed on the ground, creating a long distance,
"Having just beco a Phoenix... no, having just recovered from disability, you haven’t even learned to run but are already attempting to fly, which is far too fanciful."
Erwin’s cold voice ca through as Valentina, tossed to the ground, constricted her pupils and flapped her wings once, and the next second, an extrely thick whip of flesh ca flying towards her, shattering the ground into pieces.
Valentina hovered mid-air, only to find Erwin, who had made the strike, had no intention of dealing with her but was instead running madly towards Fisher, seemingly completely disregarding her.
This guy...
Valentina lifted her hand and a handy long sword appeared from the soul energy expended in it, then she took to the skies once more. Fisher calmly watched Erwin, who was rapidly closing in and suddenly stepped back, the magical glow in his hands also subtly shaking.
"Ding ding dong!"
The crisp sound of collision exploded in front of the plain Church School, and from behind Erwin, nurous crab-leg-like hard organs suddenly stood up, blocking and slashing at Valentina, who was attacking from behind, while he continued to chase Fisher. The ground of the dream cracked bit by bit, and just as this stalemate seed to continue, Erwin’s body suddenly jerked, twisting ninety degrees to catch Valentina’s sword with one hand.
"Crack crack crack!"
The frail weapon suddenly shattered, and Valentina, who had not yet fully mastered the skill of flying, could not control herself from colliding with Erwin,
"Caught you both."
Valentina, unable to avoid it, clenched her teeth and shouted, flapping her wings again. A powerful force propelled both Erwin and Fisher into the air. Erwin retracted the previously grown flesh limbs in mid-air and instead grew a pair of giant wings, competing in speed with Valentina, who was flying with Fisher through the sky.
