Thadeus raised up his right hand over head, "The Lord will keep me from all harm, he watches over my life." Thadeus paraphrased Psalm 121 verse 7. He then slammed his right hand down on the ground, a thick golden barrier formed a sphere around him. The blasts all hit the shield but none broke through. The laser diffused around the shield, but was powerful enough to crack the barrier. Thadeus had to expend a massive amount of mana to keep the shield from breaking, but drawing from his well, he had enough to spare to do such a feet.
"My turn!" Thadeus cocked his head to the side smiling widely. He then forced both his hands outwards towards Nemo and began charging up mana into his hands, preparing for a spell.
Raiya dodged out of the way of a swing from Ambriel, but this time the dodge was much faster, and not even the wide flames could bruise her. Her God form was the released energy pent up inside her runic tattoos. It made her much more snake-like, exponentially increasing her speed, reflexes, reaction times, strength, senses. It also vastly increased her natural regeneration properties. But most of all, it temporarily changed her aura color, which allowed her to use aether spells much more easily.
Dodging out of the way of Ambriel, she charged her aura around her body, and a split second later, a second image of Raiya was running beside her. This second image shared her aura, as she had to split her mana well up between her and the aura, so with manalysis it was impossible to tell which was the real one. But both were heading towards Dawn and incredibly high speeds. Raiya was just about within striking distance when Ambriel used the last of her given mana by the summoner to extend the reach of her flames, attack the image on the left. The image of Raiya dissipated, and turned to mana which returned back to Raiya. The fallen angel went to swing again, but it was too late. Raiya lunged with her sword, at Dawn's chest where her heart was.
The moment before the sword could pierce Dawn's chest, a distortion between Dawn and Raiya was made in the air, and Dominick materialized. The sword piercing his heart in her stead.
Dominick fell lifeless to the ground. Dawn had expended the rest of her available mana into the summon, and now that the summon had used the given mana all up, the summon dematerialized back to the realm it came from. Dawn knelt down to her now dead brother, placing his head on her lap, and began to sob uncontrollably.
Raiya shook her head, and turned to walk away. Releasing her god form, her white hair returning to normal jet black, her left eye returning to a drab blue, and her aura returning from white to purple.
She managed to walk a few steps before she heard Dawn get to her feet.
"KILL ME!" She yelled, her fists clenched in balls, and her cheeks stained with tears. "DON'T TURN AND WALK AWAY! KILL ME!" She picked up a rock off the ground and threw it about two feet, which didn't even make it close to where Raiya was standing. "W-why won't you kill me!?" Her frantic yelling turned to something more akin to a soft pleading.
Raiya dropped her sword, returning it to her mana inventory. She then placed her hands in her pockets, slightly turned her body towards Dawn, and cocked her head to the side, showing only her drab blue eye to Dawn.
"Why won't I kill you? It's simple, really. You've lost the will to fight. The will to live, even. There's no sense in killing someone like you." Raiya replied with a monotone, halfhearted tone of voice.
Raiya turned forward again, and continued to walk away. Meanwhile, Dawn collapsed back to her kneeling sobbing position, and continued to cry over her precious twin brother.
