Chapter 69: Hellsong Dash
Kaya took a spell-casting stance that thrust her arms forward and splayed her fingers as she unleashed her Mana, congealing it into a massive green Spell circle teeming with Nature energy.
She slammed the spell circle into the ground at the very center of the inner ring and it melted into the concrete before its aura spread to the circular edge of the inner ring.
With a sound of ground cracking, thick vines, complete with thorns, began grow, twisting into each other until they had created a dome that covered her completely and left very little gaps that showed Kaya still keeping her stance as she nodded at Caius and Delia who she had essentially locked out of her protection.
"No one is getting in," she said in a voice that made it clear she meant that for the opposing team most of all.
Speaking of which, Aurelius, Baler, and Doran were done with their preparations—whatever that was—and stood in a line staring at Caius and Delia who stood opposite them, side by side.
"Interesting turn of events, this," Aurelius said to Caius with an almost goofy smile, "Allies last week, opponents today."
Caius returned the smile with a shrug.
"Always happens if you give it long enough," he said which caused Aurelius to chuckle at the exchange of jest.
"Hello, Baler," Caius said to the grey-haired boy standing beside Aurelius. The one whose icy eyes had never left his face thus far.
Baler smiled but there was an intensity in them that creeped even Delia out. She recoiled and turned her nose up at him before she reluctantly glanced to her side at Caius.
"He seems to hate you," she said.
