The Ark Of Blood Mastery: Amethyst

The spear was the same length as before and had a piece of blue fur stuck to the spear's tip. The blade at the top of the spear resembled a horn, and by the left and rights sides were bird wings. The whole weapon was covered in a rich shade of cobalt blue.

Circe was shocked as Nasima braved the wave of poisoned flowers. But the shield was backing up, and Nasima was pushed back. The shield landed a small gash at the child's fingers since it was a whirlwind with bits of dirt twirling inside, resulting in a crimson whirlwind.

Much to her relief, the Wolf's Bane spell had worn off, and Nasima could focus on recovering from the bout and cut. But the child of winds had other ideas as she stabbed her spear into the crimson vortex.

The vortex engulfed the entire spear, and Nasima placed her hands behind the shield as a way to control it. After a second, the whirlwind dwindled in size and became a swirling crimson and white orb. The child's hands shook as she brought the globe above her head.

Nasima's Elemental Aura turned into a mini-tornado behind the child as her Elemental Energy level skyrocketed to extreme numbers. Rina was beginning to feel the air thinning around her as the child of winds slowly conjured up a storm.

Circe was still yelling at Nasima to stop, but the sound of the howling winds was drowning out the words. Then, finally, the orb in her hands stopped moving and released an enormous shock wave of power while morphing into a spear.

"Wielded by the Hound Of Ulster... Ulster's child of light and warrior of the Land Of Shadows, Cú Chulainn... " chanted Nasima, closing her eyes.

The spear took its physical form, a long crimson spear with two pointed ends and intricate designs. The small child gripped it with both hands and readied it right Rina's chest. Ashley had no choice but to step in as Circe and the Flower Mage were in danger.

The Marksman loaded his rifle and primed it. He then stood in front of the girls and shot three pellets, creating a large triangular shield.

"The mystery of the Devil's triangle... Everything gets swallowed within the area bounded by the three sides... Triad Bermuda!" yelled Ashley as the three shining points in midair glowed in aquamarine.

All the points shot outline to connect and form a shield made out of seawater, which looked like a piece of the ocean used to defend the girls. Circe stared in awe while Rina prepared for the follow-up attack. As for Nasima, she was ready to unleash the most potent attacks she could muster up.

"Gae Bulg!" yelled the child of winds, thrusting to spear right at the heart of the watery shield.

To everyone's amazement, the shield started to absorb the spear. But Nasima quickly recovered from the shock and activated her little triumph card. Then, the designs of the spear began to glow in red with hues of purple. Ashley then noticed Nasima's hands were bleeding and luminous.

"Blood Mastery... Amethyst!" called out the child of winds.

As Nasima yelled those words out, a substantial invisible force emitting from the surroundings of the spear created a massive hole in the water shield. Much to Circe's horror, the spear pushed through its initial attack plunged into Ashley's chest, making the Marksman cough blood.

The Valkyrie could hardly see the battle, but once she felt the strain on Ashley's Elemental Levels, Mavislin quickly rushed over to the duel.

"Hawkeye! Return to Euphoria this instant!" yelled Mavislin, shooting out her white wings.

"Sorry about it, Mav. I'll be better next time," said Ashley, weakly.

The wings' feathers glowed in white and gold outlines as Ashley's body disintegrated into golden dust. Mavislin's feathers absorbed the dust as the wings slowly turned white to aquamarine. The Valkyrie then tackled Nasima to break her trance in the battle.

The child blinked in confusion as she found herself pinned on the ground by Mavislin.

"You went too far in your attacks. How many times do I have to say to all of you? This is training, not killing sessions. You are lucky you aimed for someone who had already died. Or I will have to punish some naughty girls for going too far in their battles," chided Mavislin.

The Valkyrie wagged a disapproving finger at Nasima. The baby of the Five Orphans started to pout as she sat up after Mavislin released her tiny arms.

"However, I didn't expect Ash's Triad to be destroyed so easily by a mere child. I guess I should've taken my time to summon him in proper condition so he would've survived longer. Now, who will help me supervise these kids?" asked Mavislin, gently comforting the pouting child.
