Pour Everything At Once!

"Symbol of the Golden Fleece, Rescuer of Phirux and Helle," chanted Bryan, as his defending scythe started to glow as well.

What?! This Human Mage could combine constellations as well?! Why didn't he show that earlier?! Oh great, now I'm in hot water. I have to think of something to defend or brave against the attack. But what could be the best possible combination?

I've already used Avarice to power my last few significant attacks. But unfortunately, I can't use too much power since Necrosis is still active. Luckily, Bryan's Elemental Power wasn't in full swing yet since he was busy channeling energy into the blades.

This action bought me some time as we clashed with blades alone. With Frenzy being active, I could deal multiple slashes at once while expanding lesser physical strength. Think of it papercuts instead of full decapitating swings. But I couldn't do it forever. Finally, an ideal combination popped up.

"Oh, well. I can't lose anything with this..." I mumbled as I concentrated my Elemental Energy into my legs.

Bryan noticed the change and was prepared to unleash the two constellations at once. I guessed that using two at once would be detrimental to his Elemental Energy since it took Bryan such a long time to manifest it. I thought about Arcane, but it wasn't strong enough.

I needed a spell that had enough Elemental Power to brave through the two attacks and strike at Bryan with a tremendous amount of strength.

"Notice. This next spell will require you to have sufficient Elemental Energy. Right now, you have barely enough to fund it. After this, you would not have enough to continue the match. Would you like to use another method?" asked the voice.

No, I'll find a way to gain more Elemental Energy. Come on, think... There's got to be some way I can absorb more power... Well, it looks like I have to discard some things.

"Notice. You have chosen to deactivate the Element of Necrosis, and the skill 'Frenzy.' More Elemental Energy has been released. Notice. You still do not have enough Elemental Energy to power the spell."

I was getting frustrated I was being pushed back by Bryan's assault. It was then I saw the golden dust around Bryan's figure. That's right; I've still got that feather that the Valkyrie gave me! Last chance to use Avarice. I was going to devour the next attack and the feather simultaneously.

"Stars Of the Combined Constellations; The Ram and The Wolf. Aries And Lupus!" yelled the Slayer, crossing both scythes together in an 'X' formation.

"Alright then! Let's get this next meal!" I yelled, stabbing the longsword into the ground.

"Notice. Would you like to use Avarice now to absorb the feather from the Valkyrie?" asked the Words Of the World.

Affirmative! I threw the feather onto the front of the blade. The sword engulfed it, and several new things popped up in my vision. I asked the voice to save it for later as I had a Slayer to deal with now. All for except one skill was being tossed to the side for later use.

"Notice. The devouring of the Valkyrie's Feather has unlocked the Valkyrie's Zeal skill. Would you like me to activate it?"

I nodded, and the entire forest started to glow. Bryan turned about in shock as golden streams of light emitted from him and the area around him. Then, all streams of golden light began to converge to my body and blade.

The amount of power surging through me was unbelievably insane. All of the bars in my vision were going into overdrive as I felt my sword burning in my grasp. Or was it my hands that were scorching? Since Elemental Energy pushed my whole body to the limits, I couldn't tell.

There was no pain, only a feeling of warmth compared to the environment's weather. I could see my hair had turned fully blonde, close to gold. And I'm pretty sure my eyes were also affected but I couldn't what color they were.

Each golden stream represented the positivity of every individual living in the forest. They hope to continue living and the dreams of the future. The joy of bonds and the feeling of happiness. All of it were fueling my spell and power.

"Flames of the Scarlet Dance. Oblivion of the Hated King. Waves of the Oceansoul. Gale of the Quetzalcoatl... Supreme Coelecence," I chanted as Bryan's spell slammed into the blade without an ounce of mercy.

I was being pushed back as the spell prolonged. My legs were shaking as my sword started to devour Bryan's constellations, further piling up power into me. I was worried that my body would rip apart from the viciousness of the Elemental Energy but shook it off.
