Capítulo 37: Shattering The Nightmare
The Valkyrie swung an arm towards the figure, but the Umbra was quicker than expected. He dodged the attack with ease.
"It's pissing me off!" yelled Mavislin, shooting a glare in its direction.
The figure launched itself towards the angered Valkyrie. Mavislin could hardly dodge the attack, barely scraping by as she flung herself towards a wall. Her wings started hurting from the excessive impact over the past few days.
The Umbra's blade glinting due to the moon's light. His blade was tainted with the Dark Element, and his speed and physical ability were further enhanced. Nevertheless, the Valkyrie was finding it hard to stand her ground.
As a Valkyrie, it could spell death for Mavislin. The last time a being of Light went up against a being of Dark... Let's say it did not end well for both sides. Earth may be in danger if Mavislin doesn't resolve this quickly.
"Or we could continue until one of us falls," said the figure, sprinting towards her once more.
"Wake up! I know you can!" yelled Mavislin, deflecting the Umbra's constant assaults.
"You seem pretty confident about him being alive! But, I've already said, his soul had perished long ago!" shouted the Umbra, diving into the Valkyrie with his blade.
"I will choose..." murmured the Valkyrie as she braved the incoming blade with her bare hands.
The Umbra was taken aback as she grabbed the blade. He tried yanking it away, but the Valkyrie had other plans for the poor Shadow. The sneaky Valkyrie gave it a massive headbutt by holding the knife and pulling it. This move caused the Umbra to stumble back.
"To refuse the illusion..."
Once clouded with hatred and disgust for humans, the Valkyrie's heart had opened when she met so many wonderful people. Sure, she'd still harbor hate from some. But she can't be conflicted now. She needed her mind to be precise.
"Damn you!" yelled the angered Umbra, slashing the Valkyrie's arm when she held them up.
She dug through her memories, one that could clear the mist. Minwoo's cheeky grin flashed by; Raiyen's goofy one came after. Now, she needed to break out from those thoughts and focus on taking this Umbra down. She needed to channel those hate into power to defeat this thing.
"And shatter the nightmare!" yelled Mavislin.
As the Valkyrie shouted those words, the area around them was cleared from the eerie mist. Mavislin stood firm in a glowing pillar of light. Mavislin sucked in a deep breath and braced herself while concentrating on turning her pool of Elemental Energy into an aquatic blue.
"All waves rise and become my shield..." chanted the Valkyrie as streaks of water found their way into her hands.
The figure tried launching an assault but was flung back as the spell continued to grow.
"From depths of Okeanos, grant me the protection of the waves. Ruled by Neptune, son of Poseidon, the god of the sea," added Mavislin as she slowly opened her eyes.
"No chance!" said the Umbra, as he shot a massive ball of Dark Element towards the Mage.
"The lost legend, Lord Atlantia!" yelled the Valkyrie as it came near her.
The sudden torrent of water managed to push both the spell and figure back, allowing Mavislin to get back up. The attack was quickly absorbed into the shield, but it had also damaged the lifeforce of the guard.
Mavislin spat out some blood as the Lord Atlantia took quite a considerable blow. This Umbra was a fully-fledged one, unlike the one from before. She might lose this confrontation if the Valkyrie could not revert to her state.
"What's wrong? Can't bring yourself to strike your precious Minwoo?" taunted the imposter.
The Valkyrie flew around in an attempt to get away from the close-quarters fight. But, unfortunately, she was never good at those. She could only manage some small, projectile attacks, like Helios, before she had to confront the Umbra.
"Or do you still think you've got a chance to wake him up?" taunted the Shadow, appearing behind Mavislin.
The Valkyrie took her giant shield and slammed it right into the being's neck. This caused the Umbra to land on the side of a building, forming a dent. It laid there, still for a slight second.
"Don't mess with me, Umbra..."
The Valkyrie stabbed the colossal shield onto the ground, her grip on the piece of metal tightening. Her knuckles were turning white while her Elemental Aura skyrocketed to dangerous heights. Her eyes filled with tenacity and newfound hate.
"You've taken someone precious away from me. And you still dare to laugh about it. To make light about one's passing..."
Mavislin launched herself from the ground, causing a shock wave. In an instant, her shield was against the Umbra's neck again.
