The beams of magic struck Kintovar with incredible ford she colpsed to the ground, unscious. It was a sudden and ued attack that left Becky and Sybil in shock, their earlier fidence repced with shod uainty. They turo see the source of the attack.

  Solene gives them one good look with a smirk that begins to turn into a ugh. Her ugh then became hysterical. She tinued as the hidden mages revealed themselves, surrounding Becky and Sybil. Her fident demeanor remained unshaken as she expined her fht.

  “We anticipated that the situation might bee chaotic, especially with the Maractors uhreat,” Solene decred, a smug smile on her face.

  “So, we made sure to prepare this area with backup mages, just in case. You two are trapped now.”

  Becky and Sybil exged a worried gnce realizing that they were outnumbered.

  Solene’s words cut deep and she tio taunt the trapped duo “You stists, with your fragile bodies, always thinking you challehe power of magic,” Solene sneered. “What a load of crap! A si to the heart and you’re done. You should have regretted your existence long ag to py with forces beyond your own reach. You thought you could defy the Academy but look where it got you!? Wele to the Graveyard, Dr. Kintovar!”

  She couldn’t resist adding a final triumphant jab.

  “When I deliver Kintovar’s body to the Headmaster, I’ll be hailed as a hero,” Solene boasted. “The one who finally elimihe st stist on this isnd. You two are nothing but a footnote in history. Look at how feeble your powers are. What I do to the two of you will be an example for anyone who dares to challehe magical order.”

  At the snap of a finger, a barrage of magic bsts were u Becky and Sybil. Becky and Sybil did their best to defend themselves. They mao create barriers but some of the attacks still slipped through, causing them both to take damage. Sybil winced as the magical onsught struck her and Becky gritted her teeth, her body ag from the impacts.

  But then, something in Becky snapped. She let out a furious shout and swung her massive hammer with reckless abandon. The sheer force of her swings knocked down several mages, sending them tumbling to the ground.

  Ign the pain, Becky charged headlong into the mages’ magical attacks. Her hammer swung in wide arcs smashing through the energy projectiles and striking the mages with brutal force. She was a whirlwind of fury atacks left a trail of defeated oppos in her wake. Soleched with a look of awe.

  “What?! Did ya think we were just going to roll over and die like little weaklins? You don’t know the first thing about us Solene! We may not have the fancy magic you do but that doesn’t mean we’re going to cave to the likes of you!”

  With each swing of her hammer, Becky drew closer to Solene who could do little to stop the relentless onsught. The stern mage’s once-fident demeanor had crumbled and was repced by a sense of panid desperation.

  Becky was gaining on her. Solene knew she had to act quickly to defend herself. She ted a spell with newfound urgency, juring a shimmering barrier of iergy to protect herself from Becky’s impending strike. The hammer collided with the barrier, creating a burst of magical energy upon impact.

  Soleraio maintain the barrier, her face torted with effort. Sybil found herself surrounded by the mages, her heart raced and her mind raced even faster. She clutched her ade sword tightly. The bde gleamed with a green aura. The familiarity with this type of the on in her hands brought a sense of reassurance.

  Her mind wandered back to the moment when Kintovar had expihe unique properties of their ons. She recalled Kintovar’s words vividly: “These ons allow you to el yito them, just like ordinary ons. You el any spell you want into them.”

  Sybil deftly avoided the magical attacks of the mages. a sense of familiarity washed over her as she wielded the ade sword. With each swing of the bde, she eled her wind magito it, creating waves of cutting gusts that tore through the ranks of the mages. Her attacks were swift and precise and the mages had little time to react as they were struck down one by one.

  “Why does this feel so natural? I’ve rained as a swordswoman but I move with the grace of a seasoned warrior. It’s as if….”

  Sybil neared Solene. She observed the strain oern mage’s face as she struggled to maintain her ic barrier. The barrier had protected her from Becky’s onsught but Sybil was following up in order to breach it. She moved with the grace of the wind itself, her bde shimmering with the power of her magic. The stern mage’s barrier of iergy, which had protected her from Becky’s hammer, now faced a hreat in the form of Sybil’s wind-irikes.

  Sybil’s eyes fshed with a brilliant aqua light, a sudden surge of power coursed through her. With great strength, she unleashed a devastating ssh with her ade sword. The bde sliced through the sky, creating a shimmering arc of energy that collided with Solene’s ic barrier.

  Solene’s eyes widened in shock as she withe incredible force behind Sybil’s attack. The barrier, once imperable, shattered into a cascade of light and darkness. The iergy that had protected Solene dissipated, leaving her vulnerable and exposed.

  With the barrier broken, Sybil wasted no time. She lunged forward, her bde poised to strike. The world seemed to slow down as her sword desded towards Solene, ready to end this battle ond for all.

  Sybil’s bde came to an abrupt halt as a previously defeated mage, now resurrected, blocked her path with a dark sword. Soleriumphant ughter echoed through the forest as she revealed her powerful magic.

  With a wicked smile, Soleaunted, “Impressive, isn’t it? This is my Extreme level Magic – Undead Resurre. I bring bay fallen mage under my trol, granting them increased power and loyalty. Now, you’ll have to deal with the very mages you defeated once before!”

  Sybil gritted her teeth.

  Becky with her frustration evident ented.

  “Well, that’s just dht annoying.” She shifted her massive hammer to her shoulders, ready to face the resurrected mages once more.

  Sybil’s body began to radiate with an unnatural aura, her magical power surging in a way that Becky had never witnessed before. A ed frown crossed Becky’s face as she excimed,

  “Sybil, you don’t naturally have this much magical power! What the hell’s happening to you?”

  Magical energy enveloped Sybil. it took on a shimmering, aqua hue and swirled arouo create a protective barrier that repelled the resurrected mages’ attacks.

  Kintovar’s suddenly rose from the ground, brushing dirt off her b coat with a nont fashion. Her eyes held a hint of amusement once she looked at the astonished Solene and the chaotic se around her.

  “Well, it seems I missed all the fun,” Kintovar remarked, her tone filled with mockery. “But I ’t let you have all the glory, now I?”

  With a snap of her fingers, Kintovar summoned her advaeological onry, which glinted ominously in the dappled light of the Mystical forest. The mages, already disoriented by the ued turn of events, found themselves fag a rehreat in the form of Kintovar’s arsenal. Solene’s shout echoed through the forest as she stared incredulously at Kintovar’s return. “YOU?! How are you still alive?!” she stomps her foot, her anger fring.

  Kintovar’s response was calm and collected. “Ah, Solene, you uimated me. That’s a mistake I find many people make,” she said with a sly smile. “You see, I’m not just any stist. I’m not like those who came before me, fragile and unprepared. I always e prepared for the worst-case sario. My outfit is made of anti-magic material and I have more tricks up my sleeve than you imagine. Now, shall we tihis little battle, or do you want to surrender and save yourself more embarrassment?”

  Solene’s face torted with anger and frustration.

  Kintovar’s smile remained as she spoke with a final say. “Well, it seems you’ve made your choice; but then again, I wasn’t giving you much of a choice to begin with was I? You will be going to hell and taking yic with you, just like these mages.”

  With that, Kintovar raised her advanced on, the BG-356 and a powerful surge of energy coursed through it. In an instant, she unleashed a devastating bst that enveloped the mages who had been brought back to life by Solene’s extreme magic. The unfortunate mages were vaporized, leaving behind only faint traagical residue in the air.

  Solene’s face torted in rage and despair as she watched her allies vanish in a burst of energy. She was now alone, fag not only Kintovar but also her formidable arsenal of teology. She felt a burning need for revenge and her magical prowess surged in response.

  With a furious motion, Soleed one of the swirling ic orbs of energy that circled around her, its prowing with her ahe chosen orb shot forward with incredible speed, homing in on Sybil and Becky. They barely had time to react before the iergy smmed into them with a devastating impact. Becky was sent flying through the area, her massive hammer tumbling from her grasp as she crashed into a tree with a painful thud.

  Sybil, oher hand, mao hold her ground for a moment, her eyes fshing as she eled power she didn’t even know she had. She let out a defiant shout, attempting to push back against the overwhelming force of the iergy. But in the end, the sheer power of the attack proved too mud Sybil was blown back with a cry of pain, her body battered and bruised.

  Soleriumphant ughter echoed through the forest as she reveled in the damage she had inflicted.

  Kintovar swiftly adjusted her aim and fired the BG-356 at Soleh deadly precision. The energy projectile shot through the air, leaving a trail of crag energy in its wake. However, Solene she easily dodged the ining bst.

  As the BG-356′s energy bst passed harmlessly by, Solene’s iergy tio swirl around her, a formidable shield against Kintovar’s attacks. Unfazed by the near miss, Soleched Kintovar closely, ready for whatever on the stist might deploy .

  Seeing that her initial on had been iive, Kintovar swiftly packed up the BG-356 and reached for another advanced piece of teology from her arsenal. This one appeared to be a silver bster of some kind and it hummed with an ominous energy.

  Solene, her eyes locked onto Kintovar, remained on guard, ready to ter whatever came .

  Kintovar, uerred by her initial failure, aimed the silver bster with precision and a powerful beam of energy surged forth. However, Solene was quick to respond. With a focused motion, she directed the miniature p of iergy toward the oning bst.

  The iergy collided with the bster’s beam and it creating a dazzling dispy of magid teology g with great force throughout the forest. The two opposing forces locked in a fierce struggle with each trying to overpower the other.

  Solene, with disdain, taunted. “Your ons are nothing pared to the might of magic,” she decred with a wicked grin. “No matter how advanced your teology may be, it ever match the power that flows through me.”

  As the struggle tinued, it became clear that Solene’s iergy was gaining the upper hand, slowly tearing through the bster’s beam. Kintovar’s face shifted from fideo as her on was gradually overwhelmed.

  The forest around them was getting teh magical and teological energy and the oute of this battle hung in the bance. What would emerge Victorious? Magic or Teology?
