Michael@Oblivion666Loki? To Michael, that wasn't good. Loki was full of mischief, and didn't like to be controlled, to hear Uriel tell it. Of course, Balthazar thought he was the best thing in the world. But Zephyr had, it seemed, managed to cow Loki, if only for a few moments. So Michael didn't say anything, but hoped it wouldn't end in disaster.
Michael was thoughtful as Zephyr spoke.
"I don't know" he said,
"I think Merlina could win it. I guess we will never know the results of a battle until it ends. So many powerhouses, and so many with lots of skill here". But then, what did Michael know of fighting?
Tidius@t2waveTidius listened as Ariel spoke, but knew that she wouldn't give away much of her abilties. Still, the doctor could deduce some things. First, her demaenor had changed slightly when the form change. Did that mean her personality itself was changed with each magic? So many questions. Eleven didn't types? Clearly being in a guild had exposed Ariel to many different types of magics.
A man of his word, Tidius approached and untied Ariel's hands, but wasn't foolish to let her think he was at ease. If she made any sign to attack, Tidius would have her subdued again.
"How fascinating. What do you know of these forms? Do you know anything about your magic? If I exposed you to fire magic, what would happen?"PennyNot particularly interested with the next battle, Penny only returned to the stands to ensure that Sasha was okay, leaving her with Lazarus knowing she was safe then. Penny told Jarvis and jamie that she was heading off. Doubting that anyone would attack Damian while he was getting his armor fixed, Penny headed back to the hotel.
That morning, just before they'd headed to the arena, the hotel manager had given her a letter. SHe hadn't opened it yet, puzzled as to why someone would want to get in contact with her here.
Now, she opened it, and recognised at once Solias's hand writing. No doubt Solias thought, correctly, that Penny wouldn't speak with him if he came to her. She sighed and read the note through, but it just searched to make her angry all over again.
she discarded the letter on her bed, and then went down to the hotel's bar, to pay for the damage to the vase.
Time LordTime Lord sat, studying the images still as they moved through the dragon event.
where did the final showdown happen? he thought to himself, as he always did. The young man wasn't concerned with the games, and knew Eve was well looked after and safe at the moment.
Sighing softly, he rose smoothly, pulling the hood of his cloak up, and moved towards the inner city. Crocus had a large library, and Time Lord was taking the chance to access it, but today, Time Lord didn't go to the library, instead, he went to a magic shop.
Merlina Vs Jacob It was all Jacob could do to not retreat and think of a different tactic to beat her, but he knew that if he ended it here he wouldn't have to worry about screwing up in the long run. He bit down harder, pushing his fangs deeper into Merlina's skin and pumping more of the paralytic venom into her system, trying to shut her down. As her fire and the enzymes started to leave blisters on his mouth, he managed to hold on until his venom sacs had been mostly emptied into her, and he reverted back to his human form, falling back away from her quickly, coughing and hacking. It didn't occur to him to watch and see if she had somehow not gone down from that, and began spitting. Blood, saliva, and some of Merlina's Enzymes all came out. "God... Damn that hurts." He muttered as he kept spitting.
Merlina felt the venom pump into her as he bite down harder. Her healing still kept fighting back the venom as she staggered but stayed on her feet. Blood seeped out of the bites but green fire sealed the wounds which was good and bad. She wouldn't bleed to death but the venom would now stay in her system. "What do you say we call this a draw?" She said. Her head was about the only thing that wasn't going stiff. Her healing made sure to keep her able to think at least semi straight. This was her second to last resort before she tried one last thing on her opponent.
Jacob scoffed, and managed to stop spitting, looking up at Marlina. "You just wanna call it a draw because it's going to be hard as hell to fight with my venom running through you. Besides that, how the hell are you still standing? That was enough to paralyze a dozen full grown men. Maybe not body builders, but certainly a normal citizen of Fiore." He coughed, and spat again, wiping his mouth, and facing Marlina. "So are we going to finish this fighting? Or do you give up, and I can get you the anti-venom?" He sounded a tad tired from transforming so often, but he clearly had fight left in him, despite the burns all over his upper body.
Merlina cracked a smile at what he said. "Poisons and venoms are very hard to work on me boy. I've had more than my far share of them running through my veins to ensure I survived against anything I came across in the harsh environment I used to live in. My enzymes do most that just bring the heat but they heal as well. So as we have been talking the venom has been losing its affect." It hadn't totally but it was enough and she still have plenty of magic power left. After all she had lived a long life time. It was time to stop screwing around. Her muscles ached but she had felt worse. "Emerald Phoenix Slayer secret art: Ancestral Avatar!" Power flowed through her as a giant flower came from the magic circle that appeared below her. She rose high in the air on the flower until it snapped shut on her. The flower the burst into emerald flames and then form around Merlina the form of her mother Delonix. The Green flames that formed her surrounded Merlina who was now glaring down at the boy. Merlina felt the power of her mother and for a brief second her emotion. Tears formed on Merlina's cheeks and with that tears fell from the avatar itself. With every drop grass and flowers burst up from the ground. Some where one fire but didn't burn away and other let lose a pollen into the air that seemed to shimmer. This had only been the second time she used this spell and had forgot that she could feel her mother all around her when she did. She then looked down and saw the patches of things growing here and there. Finally she let out a squawk and dove toward the boy.
Jacob muttered explicitness softly, there was no way he could hit her when she was like this. "G-grand Animal Soul: Lion!" He transformed, then barely got out of the way of the initial attack, yowling at the pain in his tail from her dive. "Almost got me to reconsider that draw offer with that by the way!" He jumped to the side before shouting again. "Grand Animal Soul: African Swallow!" He turned into the bird, and launched into the air, hopping he could outrun or outmaneuver his opponent until they ran out of magic power. This form was much smaller than both his hawk and raven forms, so he was harder to hit. He thought that he just might get out of this, if he was careful. As he flew, he could hear his guild cheering for him. Another thing he had to push out of his head, it was getting hard to stay focused on this fight. Especially with all the pain in his mouth.
Though the boy was now smaller she could still see him easily in the form she was in. As he flew she staid still. She began to track him and tried to predicted where he would fly to. She then fired of a couple of jets of emerald fire and enzymes in places she thought he would bank to. After all they only had a limited space to fly in and if this didn't work she would over power him with speed grab the little bird in her claws.
