E: Indeed.
āSoā¦ the rumours are trueā¦ There is a reaper on the prowl as wellā¦ā
He walks away from Ezura and the figure.
āSuch tragediesā¦ Adiart our homeland will be disgraced by these fools. A slow and indecisive prince.ā He mumbles under his breath.
āIs it okay if i take Rosal under my tutelage? I think her magic could be really helpful if put to good usesā
āEzuraā¦I asked out of courtesyā¦I will be teaching her how to put her magic to good uses. Goodbye my grandchildā¦ā
she disappears
R: Huh?
???: Today is your end , Sorcerer!
A hooded man seems to be jumping towards her.
She dodges his landing. The hooded man picks up the spear.
???: You wonāt get away this time.
R: Wh-Who are you?
The man takes his hood off, revealing his face.
Rosalās face is first that of shock , then one of laughter.
R: Clay? CLAY?! HAH!
C: Whatās so funny?
R: O-Oh my. I canāt believe it! Last time we saw each other , you had more magical presence than I did!
C: At least I didnāt turn to the dark side.
R: I didnāt turn to the dark side. I enlightened myself.
C: Sure you did. He scowls.
R: So now you hate me? Why?
C: Because youāre a killer who practices black magic.
R: Aww , thatās not what you would said 4 years ago.
R: You wouldāve been like:
Her face seems to spin clockwise. Her voice is monotone as she says;
R: Rosal, I-I love yo-
A spear cuts her sentence off. Rosal easily plucks it away.
C: Shut up! That was then. This is now. You arenāt like you used to be.
R: What can I say? We all change.
Rosal fires a barrage of missiles towards Clay. He deflects them easily with his spear.
C: Eldritch Blast!
Clay places two fingers towards Rosal , summoning two beams of crackling energy , homing in on her.
R: Teehee. You canāt win with party tricks.
She summons a stone pillar from the ground , blocking the blow of the two beams. It then advances forward towards Clay.
Clay positions himself in a stance like the Poacher , and prepares for the pillar approaching. Just before it makes contact with him , he drives his spear into the stone , halting it.
C: Party tricks? I donāt think so.
Spears that seem to be made of light erupt from the ground , surrounding Clay. They grow in a mutlitude. There is uncountable amount of them now.
C: Itās over ,Sorcerer.
C: Ultimate Magic: Spear Rain!
The spears fire towards the mage.
R: Clay, is that all?
C: Stop bluffing and give up!
R: ā¦
The spears are only seconds away.
R: Ultimate Magic: Antimagic Field.
The spears suddenly all vanish without a trace.
C: Why you-
C: Huh? Why canāt I summon spears?
R: Clueās in the name, birdbrain. Antimagic Field. All magic weaker than mine is dispelled. And only I can use magic here.
C: W-What?
R: Ultimate Magic: Incendiary Cloud.
*A swirling cloud of heat advances towards Clay.
C: C-Crap.
R: So are you gonna run? hehe
C: Donāt think this is over.
Clay jumps away, leaving a crater in theground.
Rosal dispelled her magic.
R: Heh.
She clutches her stomach.
R: Shouldnāt have used all of that just for scare factorā¦
She trudges away.
ahem
Derioplis is hiding in a nearby bush near Rosal, and clears his throat without thinking.
āSpears distracted you long enough, now did he? I couldnāt have told him the plan, though. He wouldnāt allow it.ā
Derioplis pulls a mask and a bowler hat out of his robes and puts them on. The mask is grinning wildly. You just now realize that he has gloves on his hands.
R: T-That couldāve been bad.
She starts makes her way back, but suddenly falls unconscious.
Before she is completely out, she can hear the sound of stone scraping on the ground towards her.
