Chase gave a lopsided grin as everyone worked around her. Her appraisal of that Deus boy also went up a few notches, if only because of his event negation. Other than that, however, he wasn't as impressive as the others. Let's see if that would change.

What really caught her attention, however was Ryan. She looked at him with a longing, heavily nostalgic look.[color=gold] "Wow~ Has anyone ever told you that you fight much like Reina did when she was little? I mean, Meruin's her apprentice but that Little One has her own style - you, however, are almost a mirror of Reina back then!"[/color]

She said all this while looking at the incoming barrage of attacks. Chase clenched both her hands and brought them back as they a yellow light shone around her.

[color=gold]"Explosion Barrier!"[/color] A barrier made literally of explosive fire and energy, that used overwhelming force to counter any and all attacks approaching her from whatever direction. Normally, no one would consider using this kind of technique seeing as if you did one thing wrong you'd be blowing yourself up too, but this was Chase, a witch who practically lived to defy common sense.

The projectiles around her flew or broke, but that didn't mean she was out of danger yet. Getting close to her was Marcus. She knew about his abilities well enough that hitting him directly with magic was pointless. It would simply fade out. If so, however, the way to resolve that problem was fairly simple.

Explosions from magic and explosions caused by magic were two different things. Difference mainly being that Marcus could cancel the former, but not the latter, seeing as the latter was simply a natural, if devastating result of whatever magic caused it.

[color=gold]"Bomber Flak~!"[/color] said Chase, flicking her wrist lazily, her voice sounding painfully playful. If it wasn't obvious then, it should have been obvious now that she wasn't even close to considering this a serious match.

The result of her spell was hundreds of the compressed, globe shaped flames. They shot around randomly - a good number of them near Marcus - then exploded, before the explosions of the first globes shot out smaller globes, which exploded and sent out even smaller globes which also exploded. The field was basically bathed in the light of Chase's flames as explosions chained across the grounds, seemingly alive and eager to destroy Chase's opponents.

Meruin had long put distance between Lady Chase and herself. Of course, that meant that she had left her comrades alone, but she assumed that this would be were she would be most useful. The small mage steeled her eyes and began chanting.
