Chapter 434: Arc 6, - 50: The Unknowing Heights of Magic
"CRASH! BUFF!" Two thundering swords slashes broke incoming waves of rock that broke apart like sea waves.
Dust powdered through the surrounding area, only allowing rays of white light to pierce through from the pillar beside her. The juggernaut form of Forallei clanged forward like a rushing golem and bashed against the bar.
Jotou had her around the bend of a walkway, making Forallei’s momentum her weakness. The blonde’s thundering strikes were subtle—less loud and more focused.
Lightning barely fizzled out and when it did, Jotou dispelled the magic, wrapping the arcs of electricity back onto her arm like a cord of rope which she then used to strike forth at the stone figure.
"BASH!" To no surprise, it had no effect as Forallei slammed down on the walkway making it wobble up and down, before a torrent of rocks spawned around the metal akin to twisting vines and ejected up in an instant into large jagged spikes.
Cornered around, Jotou instead of stabilizing herself threw herself against the railing and toppled over the side, avoiding the jetted up stone that dissipated into gravel.
’Land, land, land!’ Her foot arced with lightning and she launched herself with a bolt of a kick, halting her fall for a moment to allow her to land on the walkway below. She peered up in an instant, but a stone figure was quicker.
"Shoulder-Charge!" she yelled and like lightning, charged into the railing to one side and caught herself with her free hand upon it.
"DUFF! Dfff!" Stone saved Forallei and she steadied herself from falling through the metal, and launched two battering ram-like fists forward.
Jotou took a backstep, and another as two more of the same came at her head. The blonde’s eyes widened, watching the stone slightly scrape against the tip of her nose, shaving off skin that then began to redden.
In the same instance, a spike jetted up diagonally from Forallei’s form pierce into the blonde’s enchanted white dress hem. "Snap!"
It barely gave any protection as it poked a hole and Jotou had to back away, tearing the enchanted fabric in a split downwards. What enchantment it had blunted the spike from continuing further, but that is all that it provided.
