Part 50: Midnight Battle IV: Silence
Randolph is busy training the fresh recruits in the training ground while Ladislava has to face her biggest enemy. Paperwork from supply reports, training results, order for new weapons, etc
Ladislava lay onto her chair as she stared outside of the window of her office where she noticed that a Messenger is talking to Randolph but she ignored it and then back to her paperwork
She sighed at the stack of paper which has the same height as a spear "Let see." Ladislava picked up a piece of paper from the stack "New weaponry for the Ballisticians. Let see," she examines the report "A new group of Scorpion prototypes have been successfully made. However, we wish to test before putting into mass production." Ladislava sighed as she when over to the stamp and pressed it against the ink but before she can stamp the paperwork a knock was heard from her door
"Hmm? Who is it?" Ladislava asked as the door opened revealing to be...Randolph? She stood up from her desk "Randolph, something to report?"
Randolph nods as he places the letter with the royal seal onto the table in front of her "It a will...from his Majesty," said Randolph
Ladislava noticed that Randolph's face is filled with defeat and sorrow "The will?" Ladislava sighed "I see...Randolph, gather the Imperial Guard and head to the Forbidden Forrest at once...I think you know what to do next about...her majesty,"
He nods once more "Yea, of course. Shall I bring in her friends as well?"
"Please do, now hurry along. I shall stick to his majesty for his final moments," said Ladislava as they head out of her office
-------------------------
Rhea stared outside of the balcony of Garreg Mach waiting for Seteth and the students to arrive back from their mission until a knock came onto her door
"Lady Rhea, may I?" Catherine asked
Rhea nods "You may,"
Catherine opened the door and revealed a letter "Lady Rhea, you might what to read this,"
Her eyes when wide when she spotted the letter which had the Imperial seal on it "Where did you get this?"
"We notice something suspicious near Lady Edelgard dorm. So we decide to investigate and well...we found this," Catherine points at the letter
Rhea frowned at the sight of the Imperial seal "Leave me, thank you for bringing this to my attention, Catherine,"
She obeyed and bowed towards before leaving Rhea alone
She sighed as Rhea stared at the Midnight skies before opening the letter and examing the content which made her eyes go wide "No..." Rhea checked the letter and the Imperial seal once more before dropping it onto the table "Catherine!"
Catherine burst into the room "Yes, Lady Rhea?"
Rhea's breathing became heavy as she stared at the letter once more "Where is Seteth?"
"Uh...Seteth when out with the students for some night training ordered by Professor Byleth," Catherine replied with a worried look on her face
She sighed but not out of relief as she tightens her fist right fist "I see...Catherine, gather the Knight of Serios."
Catherine nods "Yes Lady Rhea, but may I ask why?"
"They are planning to rebel against us Catherine, arrest Professor Byleth at once. Do not allow her to escape and K..." Rhea bit her lip and tightened her left fist "Arrest her without killing her...if that possible. " said Rhea
She bowed "I shall try within the best of my abilities not to harm her," Catherine exited out of the room
Rhea sat down onto her seat and stared at the letter "Why...I never wanted to believe it but..." She smoothed the letter with her right hand "Has Humanity refuses to learn from its past mistakes?" Rhea asked
-------------------
Byleth exited out of the Chapel and was about to head down the stairway until someone shouted "Professor!" behind her
She turned around to face the direction of the voice which came from Catherine who is leading at least twenty Knights of Serios among them is Shamir who appears to have a different face than Catherine
Byleth sighed as the Knights of Serios started to surround her while drawing out their swords "What is the meaning of this?" Byleth asked although it appeared that...she wasn't surprised by this arrest at all
Catherine sighed as she stepped forward "Professor, come with us. You just need to answer a couple of questions about your students," said Catherine
She turned towards Catherine "And if I refuse?" Byleth slowly moves her hand towards her sword by her belt
Shamir draws her bow alongside Catherine with Thunderbrand "That is not an option," said Shamir
Byleth examine her surroundings before drawing out the Sword of the Creator "There is always another option," Byleth replied
---------------
Linhardt examine the body while using Faith magic to heal him while Casper is busying fighting off the Dark Mages with his Killer Gauntlets
He isn't a fan of blood nor fighting but he made a promise to Edelgard that after she takes down the Church of Serios. She would give him a place to study and...other things. Linhardt thought that Edelgard wasn't being serious so he declines the offer right away until Edelgard...begged to listen to her offer
--------------
Linhardt and Edelgard met in secret within the night sky as they sat across from each other
"Hello, Linhardt...I am glad that you can make it," said Edelgard with a smile on her face
"Well, your highness...are you going to keep on nag me again and again like my mother?" Linhardt asked with a frown on his face
To Linhardt surprised Edelgard shook her head "No, it something else. Linhardt, I need your support as I have heard that you are interested in the idea of crest research," said Edelgard
He sighed as Linhardt nods "That part is true. It strange that no one has discovered a lot about the effects and history of the Crest. Even though Hanneman is supposed to be the 'father of crest research'."
Edelgard sighed as well "That part is strange, no doubt but...I need to tell you something Linhardt,"
"Hmm? Are you just going to nag me for not 'using' my talent? If that case, we don't need to talk anymore." said Linhardt as he stood up and was about to leave until
Edelgard grabbed his hand "Please...Linhardt, it not that. You should listen to my request first...then you may leave" Edelgard begged
Linhardt became interested once more as he sat back down "Alright...I am listening,"
Edelgard took a deep breath as she reveals the Crest of Flames "Linhardt, I process two Crest within me,"
His eyes when wide but he didn't seem surprised at the news "Two Crest? I thought that was impossible,"
"Indeed, it is impossible, however...have you heard about the Insurrection of Seven?" Edelgard asked with still having a nervous look on her face
Linhardt nods "Yes, that when all of the major noble houses within the Empire decided that the Emperor wields too much power and rebelled."
"That correct, although there was a dark secret within the Insurrection," She stared at the night sky through her window
"You were kidnapped alongside the other royal children," Linhardt replied which shocked Edelgard
She turned her eyes back to Linhardt "Y...you knew?" Edelgard asked with a glimmer of hope within her eyes
He nods "I did my research after I heard the news about the death of ten royal children within the Imperial family from 'sickness' and that you were the only one who survived. I managed to dig up some...dark secrets about experiments and..." Linhardt covered his mouth "...Blood,"
"So you knew about the experiments but didn't know about the results...until now, which is allowing me to process two Crest," Edelgard lean back on her seat
Linhardt straight himself "Two Crest...let me asked this Edelgard. Do you believe that this is a curse or a blessing?"
"Curse...my Two Crest within me are straining my body which results in a greatly lose of life within me...or to more exact. My future is dead," said Edelgard as her eyes were filled with sadness
"...So your life span is greatly shortened thanks to those experiments..." Linhardt gave a sorrow look towards Edelgard
"Yea, Linhardt. May I ask, is it possible to extend my life span?" Her face remained hopeful
Linhardt placed his hand under his chin before shaking his head "I don't think so. Forgive me, Your Highness but I am afraid that...there is nothing we can do about it,"
Edelgard sighed "Don't blame yourself, Linhardt. I knew that my entire future has been ruined thanks to these...monsters. Even so, Linhardt...I am going to give you an offer,"
He waves his hand into the air "Go ahead, my ears and eyes are open," said Linhardt
She leaned forward "Thank you. I am planning to take down the Church of Serios with the other House Leaders." said Edelgard
Linhardt frowned "...so you are planning to go to war against the Church of Serios...ok why should I accept that offer?"
"Linhardt, after we take down the Church of Serios...I shall give you a special place to study all on your own and..." she placed a letter right in front of Linhardt "I let you explore the Church of Serios secrets to help with your Crest research,"
The letter has the seal of House Hevring on it "That an interesting offer your Highness and this letter...where did you get this?" Linhardt asked
Edelgard points at the seal "Your father has sworn his loyalty to the Imperial throne,"
"The Imperial Throne? Didn't he already..." He stared at Edelgard and quickly noticed it "Edelgard...if I remember correctly. You when on a field trip to Enbarr...is that correct?"
"Yes, Linhardt, I am the new Emperor of the Adrestian Empire due to my father's health. I was hoping to put your skills to great use but...if I try to ask for your serves within the Empire...you would just refuse my offer," said Edelgard
Linhardt smiled "Wow...you were paying attention. Of course, I would rather be independent with my research instead of someone else telling me what to do. Your...Majesty." He stood up from his seat "You know Edelgard...I might rethink a couple of things for my future,"
---------------
All of her words weren't just talk as it more between action and promise. Normally he won't accept it but with the firey looks within her eyes, he decides to put his faith into Edelgard. So after discussing his future. They managed to strike a deal
Although right now, he is healing a large man who is extremely buffed. More than Raphael as his eyes slowly open up to reality
"Huh...where am I?" The man asked as he rubs his forehead with his right hand
He picked up a dead leave and showed to the man "You're in the forbidden forest, sorry about my friend. He got a little reckless and well...knocked you cold onto the dead leaves. Anyways, can you tell me your name?" Linhardt asked
"Oh, sorry. Yes, my name is Balthus and well...let say that you saved my life. Oh and I nearly forgot...what is your name again?" Balthus asked as he slowly stood up straight
"Linhardt," He points at Casper who is still busy fighting "That Casper being a reckless idiot as always,"
Casper kneed one of the Dark Mages before punching his face in while dodging a bunch of Dark Spikes
Balthus smiled at the sight of Casper "Haha...alright, then...time for some payback!" he stated as Balthus charged against one of the Dark Mages with his fist
While Linhardt stood back and watched the fight "Great...there two of them now,"
---------------
Petra dodged the Myrmidon slash and ducked under the Axe fighter swing as it Axe inbend itself onto a tree
The Myrmidon attempt to get off another slash but Petra didn't give him a chance as she thrust her sword right into his neck
The Axe fighter managed to get it Axe loose, however, Petra was faster as he got kneed in the face
Petra then finished him off by stabbing the heart
"Hey, Petra are you alright?" Lysithea asked with a concerned look on her face
She let the blood drop from her sword Gram before replying "Yes, I can continue to fight,"
Lysithea sighed "Petra, your action speaks louder than words. It about Claude isn't it. You still can't get over his death," She frowned at Petra
Petra stared at Lysithea as she sighed before replying "Claude, taught me a lot of things that I can't learn from a book nor from swinging my sword. I just...can't believe that Claude would get himself killed that easily," said Petra
She pats her on the shoulder "I know, Claude dying that easily isn't...Claude at all. I was expecting him to live through his...'pranks' and..." Lysithea raised her hand "Do you hear that?" Lysithea asked
Petra nods in agreement "Someone is nearby," She leans against the tree before peeking ever so slightly
Lysithea followed behind as she prepares to cast Dark spikes however, Petra sighed in relief and lowered her sword
"We found them but...we also found an enemy," said Petra
--------------
Mercedes is busy heal Edelgard while Dimitri and the Death Knight...just stared at each other
Dimitri still has an uneasy feeling about the Death Knight as he sharpness his Scythe while staring at Mercedes. After all, they were former enemies but now....they are allies? It just...weird for him to understand. Why is this Death Knight? Why did he save Mercedes?
The Death Knight ignored Dimitri uneasy stare but that when he points his weapon at a tree "Your lust for blood gave you away," said the Death Knight
Petre reveals herself alongside Lysithea
"Petra...Lysithea, thank goodness that you are alright...although. This might seem weird...the Death Knight is...our ally" Petra frowned at the Death Knight alongside Lysithea "...for now," said Dimitri with a concerned look on his face
Lysithea noticed Edelgard being healed by Mercedes "Mercedes! Your alive!"
Mercedes kept her focus on Edelgard "Hello Lysithea, it nice to see you again," she smiled while healing Edelgard
"Indeed, how did you managed to escape from their grasp?" Petra asked while still staring at the Death Knight
She points at the Death Knight "He...saved me by breaking me out of their hideout. My words are his words...so please, low your weapon Petra," said Mercedes
Petra turned towards Dimitri who just nods as she sheaths her sword "My faith is with you Mercedes but I still have trust issues with the Death Knight,"
Mercedes sighed in defeat as Edelgard started to move slightly "Dimitri!"
Dimitri when beside Edelgard and held her hand "Edelgard, are alright? Answer me!"
Edelgard's body started to move as she bit her lip in...pain? Her breathing became heavy while her eyes remain devoid of light
-----------
Devoid of emotion within the space of the empty void
Her hands and leg are tried onto a wall covered in the colour of death. Her body entirely covered in scars and she is wearing...a prisoner rag as her outfit
A person appeared right in front of her sitting down onto a chair "Welcome back my dear Niece. Forgive me for...taking some measures about your...manners against me," said Thales
Edelgard frowned at the sight of Thales "How...how are you still alive!" shouted Edelgard as she struggles against the chains
Thales sighed "I am always alive within your mind Edelgard. You can never kill me...no matter how many blades, spears, axes, arrows, bolts, fire, thunder, wind, light, or even dark magic entered into my body. None of them can destroy the power of my will." He places his finger onto her chin "Nothing can kill me...not even your dear Professor succeeded after trying thousand of times to save you all,"
Her face appeared to be confused at the last part of the comment "What? What are you...talking about? Thousand times?"
He laughed "Oh your reaction is priceless. Yes, your dear Professor is well skilled with every type of weapon and magic...yet she couldn't even save any of you." Thales lean back onto his chair "Tell my dear Niece. What would you feel if a person that you hold dear dies and that you are willing to travel back in time over and over just to save her...only to fail...what would you feel?" Thales asked
Edelgard bit her lip and refused to answer
"On the outside, she seems like an emotionless Professor that doesn't talk a lot...but within her mind. She has gone mad with despair and hopelessness. After all, both you and Rhea are tied to the butterfly of fate." Thales sighed as he saws her a book that has a blue colour "She tried many times, to rewrite the story that has been set by our... 'creator' no matter how many times your Professor tried...it will always end in the same way."
She took a deep breath before replying "Tah...so what? Are you trying to crush my hopes and dreams?"
Thales waved his hand in disappointment "Cornelia already did that for me. With the truth about...your mother,"
"So it true...my mother caused..." she tightens her fist "Tell me Uncle...is my mother still alive?"
He nods "Yes, she is still alive. Its funny isn't it. You thought that your mother cared for you until the very end of her life...when in reality, you were born to become an object in our quest for vengeance against the false Goddess." Thales grab her chin "She never cared for you from the very moment you were born,"
Edelgard frowned "Why...why should I believe you! You threw me into the depth of Hrym mountains, you forced me into your twisted experiments and worst of all..." she stared at Thales with her eyes filled with pure hatred "You killed my entire family! The only one left is my father who is..." Thales cuts her off by raising his right hand
"On his death bed," Thales smiled "I know, I am afraid that your only family member is about to pass away...here I let go of your chains," said Thales as the chain slowly disappear from her arm
She let herself fall onto the ground as her breathing started to become heavy
He had a suspicious look on his face "Hmm? Are you still alive my dear Niece?"
Edelgard tightens her fist before launching a punch at Thales which when straight through his body like a mist "I forgot...you are already dead," said Edelgard
He smiled "Indeed, I am just a shadow within your mind. As I said earlier...it impossible to kill me."
She turned back towards Thales "So...are you still going to attempt to torture my mind?"
Thales shook his head "I would love to but...it appears that your friends are going to ruin it...well all I can say is that...your dear Professor is about to ___."
Edelgard appeared to confuse as the last part of Thales' comment got muffed but before she can ask a light started to enter the void
"Goodbye, my Niece. I shall see at another time," said Thales as he bowed towards her before the light consumed her
------------------
Hapi had her arms tied as she didn't bother to resist nor to slow down. She wasn't even afraid to die until an arrow flew by her head and landed one of the Dark Priest's neck
"Hmm? It looks like, I am being rescued," muttered Hapi as she closed her eyes and let her rescuers do the rest of their 'busy' work
Leonie released her arrows while using her mount to dodge any return fire
Lorenz cast Sagittae against the myrmidon while Hilda tossed her Hand Axe at the Dark Mage
Leonie and Lorenz sighed at the sight at Hilda fighting as she blocked the myrmidon sword before countering with her Axe due to...her history of 'laziness' to help
Hapi...she just kept her eye close and waited to be rescued
-----------------
Lysithea assisted Mercedes alongside Dimitri who held her down as Edelgard continues to struggle...against what?
Mercedes started to sweat through her forehead as her eyes started to get...sleepy?
"Mercedes...are you alright?" the Death Knight asked while still keeping an eye out
She nods "I am fine, thank you for being concerned," said Mercedes as Edelgard soon opened her eyes
Her breathing is still heavy as she stared at Dimitri then at Mercedes "...Am...am I alive?" Edelgard asked
"Edelgard thanks goodness that you are alright," Dimitri kneed right in front Edelgard "Can you stand?" Dimitri asked
Edelgard tries to stand up but her legs wouldn't let her "Dam it...why must I feel weak...now?" Edelgard muttered as she tries once more but Dimitri quickly put a stop to that
"Edelgard, please stay down...it appears that you took a deadly spell earlier," said Dimitri as he gentle pats Edelgard on her forehead
She sighed as Edelgard lay onto the ground while Mercedes examines her legs and arms
Yuri sat back this entire time "Huh...I guess I am one of those background characters...oh well," said Yuri as he leans against a dead tree
"Background characters? I am having confusion right now, can you help me understand?" Petra asked
"Oh hey...it looks like someone has finally noticed me. Anyways, just forget about it," Yuri examine Petra body then stared at her sword "Let me guess...you also wield swords?"
Petra nods "Yes, I am focused on mastering the sword and learn all of its arts. Are you well skilled with the sword as well?"
Yuri smiled "Of course am I, otherwise...how am I going to proving my worth as a leader?" Yuri asked
That, however, soared the mood "To prove your worth as a leader..." Petra looked at Edelgard and Dimitri
He noticed something wrong with Petra's eyes "I know that face...did someone..." Yuri sighed "Did someone die within the fog?" Yuri asked
Petra looked at Yuri as she nods "I couldn't rescue him in time. He tried to reunite with Edelgard and Dimitri but got himself...caught and...." Petra tightens her lips "I...I need to save the rest for...them," she points at Dimitri and Edelgard
Yuri pats Petra on the shoulder "I understand, take your time...does anyone else know about his...you know?"
She moves her hand towards Lysithea "I told her about what happened to Claude but it appears that she busy,"
"Ok, well we will have to reveal...his fate soon or later...even if means breaking their hearts," said Yuri with a frown on his face
"I know...I am just waiting for the right time to do so," Petra replied with a concerned look on her face
Yuri shoves Petra forward "Why not do it now? They will figure out the truth soon or later,"
Petra stared at Edelgard "...I just afraid of their reaction to...his fate."
He sighed and rolled his eyes "Just do it,"
She frowned at Yuri "You didn't need to speak with your rude words." Petra walked towards Edelgard and Dimitri
Dimitri turned towards Petra "Petra, is something wrong?" Dimitri asked
Petra sighed "I...I got some...not so good news," said Petra
He stared at Petra and noticed the sorrow within her eyes "Petra...did something happens within the fog?"
She nods as Petra kneeled right in front of them "Pl...please forgive me Lady Edelgard and Prince Dimitri...I have failed,"
Edelgard had a confused look on her face "...Petra you still have found Claude?"
Petra shook her head "I did but..." she bit her lip tightly while Lysithea looked away alongside Mercedes "Claude is....he is..."
Dimitri then grabbed Petra by both arms "Calm yourself Petra. Take a deep breath...what happened to Claude?" Dimitri asked
"He...he is...dead," said Petra as she braces herself
Edelgard stared at Petra with silences
Dimitri, on the other hand, stared at her with disbelief "What? Claude...is dead? Impossible! Claude is the most scheming person that we have ever seen...how could he just...die?" Dimitri asked
Mercedes closed her eyes as she stopped healing Edelgard and turned away from Petra alongside Lysithea
Petra turned her eyes towards Edelgard as she reveals the Mithril Sword and the dagger covered in blood "Please...forgive me, Lady Edelgard,"
Edelgard stood up stared at her arms and leg for a moment before moving up to Petra "Who did it?" Edelgard asked with a firey voice
She looked away "...An Imperial General named...Metodey. He told me that you ordered Claude death but his words were all just lies," said Petra
"Metodey..." Edelgard slam her fist into a nearby tree "That traitor!"
Lysithea grew weary about Edelgard's 'mood' "Edelgard...you know him?"
She turned towards Lysithea "Yes...he is a General or should I say, former General of the Penal Battalion," Edelgard when over to her Axe and picked it up "But now, he is just a traitor that...that killed Claude!"
Dimitri was taken back at the sight "Edelgard...are you alright?" Dimitri asked
Edelgard slaps Dimitri's hand away "Am I fine? Am I fine!" She shouted as Edelgard pressed her fist onto her chest "How am I fine! Claude is...dead! One of our links...got killed off by a goddam traitor!" shouted Edelgard as she grabbed the Mithril Sword and the dagger away from Petra
He became speechless as Yuri intercept them
"Save the chitchat. We got some company," said Yuri as he draws out his sword
A group of Assassins and Fortress Knights appeared out of the fog, weapon drawn as Petra drew out her sword and dodged the Assassin dagger before going in for the stab through the neck
Yuri blocked the Assassin dagger before grabbing the assassin neck and slamming him onto a tree before stabbing him in the neck just like Petra
Lysithea stood back as she cast Fire onto one of the Fortress Knights. Fortress Knights were known for being a wall against any type of physical attack due to their ability to wield large shields and carry heavy armour but against magic. They are just a sitting duck as the fire started to boil them alive under the heavy armour. If the fire didn't kill them...the heat will
Edelgard smiled as she swings her Axe in a wide arc slamming it against the large shield of the Fortress Knight
The Fortress Knight raised it Greataxe and swings it overhead
She moved her body to the side to avoid the swing before countering back with her Bhuj which got blocked by his large shield
He does another swing across as Edelgard back step away to avoid getting hit
Dimitri swing his spear to keep his distance while avoid getting hooked in by the Fortress Knight Axe as his spears keep on slamming the large shield
The Death Knight kept close to Mercedes as one of the Assassin attempted to stab Mercedes but instead...they met the Death Knight wrath. He swings his Scythe in a wide arc where the Assassin managed to dodge under it, however, the Death Knight then used the butt end of the Scythe to hit him on the stomach area before swing his weapon upwards slicing the Assassin in half
Mercedes frowned at the sight of the Death Knight or to be more exact...her brother "Em..." she shook her head "Death Knight...are you alright?" Mercedes asked
He just nods before moving on to the next target
Edelgard made a swing with her axe but this time knocking the Fortress Knight shield away before doing another swing against his lower helmet tearing it neck from it shoulder...and not in a clean way
An Assassin attempt to stab Edelgard with his dagger. Edelgard respond by dodging the thrust then grabbing him by the neck and pinning the Assassin on the ground then she placed her axe onto his neck before pressing it down in one motion
Dimitri managed to find a gap within the Fortress Knight armour under his arms or elbow while dodging his axe swing. He soon spun his spear around before doing an upward slash while his crest actives
The Fortress Knight moves his shield in front to block the upward swing as they both connect. Dimitri crest glows behind his back as the large shield got tore apart into pieces allow Dimitri for another strike but this time right into the stomach area as his armour failed to protect it wielder
Lysithea attempt to cast against the Assassin, however, her Miasma spell missed its mark and landed onto one of the dead trees. She braces herself for the cold steel but it never came as the Assassin got blinded by the Holy Light which was cast by Mercedes
"Gah! It burns!" Screamed the Assassin as he swings his weapon like a wild animal before getting killed by the Death Knight Scythe who was the last member of his group remaining
She when towards Mercedes "Mercedes...what was that?" Lysithea asked
Mercedes was carrying a ball of light within her right hand "...Holy Light. I can only use it to defend myself from...'mean' people as Holy Light isn't allowed to kill," Mercedes replied
Lysithea studied the ball of light "Faith magic. It isn't as powerful as...Reason Magic but even so. It better than nothing,"
She snuffs the magic within her hands while the Death Knight and Edelgard stared at each other but didn't say a single word
Until a pillar of light appeared from a distance away from them as the fog slowly disappears
"What the? The fog it's...it's disappearing," said Dimitri as his eyes were glued to the pillar of light
----------------
Cornelia returned to the ritual site "Is the ritual ready?" Cornelia asked
The Dark Mage shook his head "Forgive me Lady Cornelia but...all of the sacrifices have been intercepted by these...students," said the Dark Mage
Her face transforms into a frown "I see...I am still worried about that failing to meet the requirements but...we have no choice..." she points at the Dark Mage that carrying the touch "Light the fire. Let her burn into the depth of Hel,"
He nods as the Dark Mages tosses a touch into the firewood causing a massive blaze under Flayn feet
Flayn her eyes started to water "Father...please forgive me...I am returning to mother now," muttered Flayn as she closed her eyes. Willing to accept the grim fate of the blazing fire
However, fate had other ideas as her crest actives and a bright light surrounds her. Transforming her into a body of light which leads towards the skies as the fog started to clear
"What the? Such bright light," said Cornelia as she covered her eyes alongside the other Dark Mages
The brightness slowly ended but Flayn is still glowing in a white aura as the blazing fire under feet is no more
"Lady Cornelia...what should we do?" The Dark Mages asked in a panic like matter
"It can't be...k...k...kill her!" shouted Cornelia as she attempts to cast but nothing came out "What the...my magic is...silenced?"
The Dark Mages attempt to cast their magic but failed "La...Lady Cornelia our...our Dark Magic...it gone,"
"Impossible! Is this the power of the false goddess? In that case," she cast Ragnarok onto Flayn which worked but...the spell just bounced harmlessly to the side "Reason Magic works...however, this girl resistance is too strong. What about physical attacks?" Cornelia asked
A Dark Master attempt to swing its sword into Flayn but it just bounced off harmless
"It can't be...is she unkillable?" The Dark Mage asked
"Our Fog...it disappearing!"
Cornelia tightens her fist "This is bad...Lord Chaos did you knew that this would happen?" She examines the Dark Mages around her "Don't panic. We can still kill her...we just have to wait for her power to be exhausted. She shouldn't be able to keep this up for long...after all, she is still a young girl. We just need time," said Cornelia
----------------
Seteth rolled away to avoid the Death spell from a Dark Mage
The Dark Mage smirks as he cast another spell against Seteth but once again he rolled out of the way
Jeralt tosses his Javelin but the Dark Mage used the dead trees as cover "Dam these trees are getting in the way," muttered Jeralt as he prepares another javelin
However, a pillar of light appeared from a distance while the fog slowly disappears
Seteth stared at the pillar of light "It can't be...Flayn..." he reaches his hand towards the pillar but Seteth stopped and turned towards Jeralt "...Jeralt, now is our chance...tell them to push the advance," said Seteth as he grips his Spear of Assal within his hands
Jeralt noticed the Dark Mage trying to cast a spell but it not working "What the? They are...silenced?" Jeralt asked
He nods "Flayn process the Major crest of Cethleann. One of the saints that fought in the War." Seteth sighed and took a deep breath "During one of the battles. There was a record of Saint Cethleann using her powers to silence all forms of Dark Magic during the war..." Seteth looked at the pillar of light "I never thought I would see it again...until now," He switched to his Spear of Assal "We need to hurry, I don't think her powers will last that long,"
Jeralt nods in agreement as he tossed his Javelin once more. Killing the Dark Mage "Alright," he turned towards his mercenaries "Advance! Don't let them breathe!" shouted Jeralt as they charged forward while Seteth took to the skies on his wyvern and head towards the pillar of light
(Holy Light:
Faith Magic
E Rank
1-2 range (can not be increased)
1 might
14 uses
2 weight
110 hit
0 crit
The most basic form of Light Magic. Will always attack first. Can not kill unless foe is within 1HP.
It not much and Reason Magic is still better if you what offensive.)
(Wow, this took a while. Before you ask, how did I get the idea of Flayn silencing all forms of Dark Magic? The answer is well...in Crimson Flower route. When you face her, she wields silence yet...she can't even learn it. Alongside how I don't understand how they managed to win the war against Nemesis and his 'Legends" when he caught Rhea and her people off guard and somehow still lost. So I decide to give Flayn the special ability to well...Silence all forms of Dark Magic (You are also affected so keep that in mind.) for at least a couple of turns because most TWSITD wields Dark Magic so...you can imagine what will happen if their main source of weaponry is...completely silenced but she does have to stay still during the silence and after that...she has a long cooldown before she can active Silence once more so...you can't spam it. You have to be careful.)
