With a quick switch, Nasima sent a powerful kick toward Duncan's scythe, causing the boy to fly into the wall. Nasima's physical strength was relatively high as opposed to Midori's. The Ankou smiled as he gained a little control of Duncan's limbs to ensure he wouldn't get thrown off again.
As Nasima leaped up to attack him with a kick to the head, Duncan used the scythe to fling himself upward, dodging the shot and causing Nasima's leg to crash into the rock he'd been standing on. Then, with the roles reversed, Duncan mustered all his strength to kick Nasima in the back.
The attack caused Nasima to smash through the rock and land at the next level. Bryan quickly jumped into action, wanting to catch Nasima before her spine could break, but the child of winds had her way of creating a last-minute landing.
To Bryan's amazement, Nasima broke the fall by somersaulting and landing with her legs bent, ready to lunge at the enemy again. The Slayer was impressed... It seems that Nasima truly takes on Rina's flexibility without using wings.
However, on the flipside, Duncan wasn't too pleased to see that Nasima was alright and jumped down to strike at the girl. Nasima closed her eyes and took a deep breath before blowing a massive tornado towards the striking boy.
Duncan was caught off guard but quickly contorted his body to move with the direction of the wind, narrowing the gap between him and Nasima. Tomoe whistled at the countermove of Duncan as Ashley shook his head.
"What?!" yelled Nasima as she paused her breath to dodge the flying boy.
Duncan had no choice but to continue the move and went to the opposite end of the area while Nasima drew up to her usual height. The Slayer slid down the side of the wall and landed on the ground as he saw the two children standing on opposite ends of the battlefield.
Something huge was about to go down as winds became violent around Nasima and her Elemental Aura exploded, with her eyes shining brightly in violet. Duncan knew something was going on with Nasima, so he raised his scythe high to counter whatever Nasima wanted to throw at him.
The first two tries were futile... So the third time is the charm. That quote would've been the case... If Nasima had been up against anyone else but the Grim Reaper. Instead, the child of the wind decided to take the risk and challenge the Grim Reaper, making the Ankou laugh.
"What's so funny again?" asked Duncan.
"Nah... I'm just thinking... This small girl truly wants me to unleash my full power on her... Well then, let's give her what she wants, alright? What Frame would you like to use against your opponent, my Little Lord?" asked the Ankou, tilting his head to the side.
"Let's do the Final Frame for the final strike. I want this to be over and done so I can sleep. And eat. Or both since I've got no more energy to keep this up... Emotionally as well," answered Duncan as he took a step forward.
"Yes, my Lord. But first, I'm guiding you to the next level of the Final Frame since you've gained nearly all my powers. Once you've gained all of my techniques and Magecraft, you can use my powers without the incantation or going through me."
"Follow my chant and allow your mind to bend to my orders. Relax. You will harnass the power of the Ankou in no time."
Duncan nodded and took a deep breath, concentrating as he tried to gather more Elemental Energy for the last attack. Bryan felt like vomiting and convulsing when Duncan's Elemental Energy began to manifest as the film strips again.
This time, the strips were sticking onto the ground, growing until they went up the walls. The kids at the surface level began to scream as the film strips appeared next to their feet and reached the forest. Ashley loaded up a few bullets and shot the strips while Tomoe tried cutting them.
However, both Mages failed to do any damage as the strips continued their quest to find more Elemental Energy by curling up to some oak trees. As Duncan's Elemental Energy levels went up, the first row of tres behind the group instant withered and died.
"Alright, that should be enough for you, Duncan. Let's finish this with a bang! Even Nasima is ready for the final frontier!" roared the Ankou, throwing his arm into the skies.
Duncan's inner world started to shake as the Ankou used his full powers to help Duncan get through the spell. As for Nasima, the child held out her two palms as if she was collecting rainwater and began to chant.
