Just as Grace caught up to Gilad a sudden dome trapped them in the area with the army of dark mages. There was no turning back now, and although it scared her she couldn't run away, figuratively and literally. Her blue eyes looked up to her only ally Gilad as he gave her a quick nod, stating how they'd have to fight together. "Alright Mr. Gilad, I'll do my best to whoop their asses! I'll blow them into another world!" She said with a big grin, igniting her hand in a purple flame. The two targets were in the very back, a rather large fighting force standing between her and them. "Hey, you guys should just surrender now! There is no winning against the troublesome and powerful duo of Guildmaster Gilad and me, B-Class Mage Grace!" She called out to the opposing forces, getting a quick pre-battle stretch in before starting. Almost immediately she fired a volley of magical missiles into the crowd of dark mages, hoping to thin the ranks and give them an opportunity to destroy the big boys in charge. When the missiles connected with the ground or their targets they exploded, leaving small craters in the ground. "Beat them up Mr. Gilad! Knock them down and I'll blow them out of the way."Colt556 said:Gilad Arcturus - Forests of Magnolia
Those that had not been caught in the blast were quick to recover and resume their charge. As they neared him they were suddenly slammed into the ground, a powerful force weighing down on them. The force was so great that it cratered the ground beneath them, the sound of shattering bones filling the air. With the entire charge brought to a halt he turned his attention towards the mages that still stood in his way. It was at that moment that the lanky man began to laugh maniacally. After a few moments he calmed down and promptly swept his arm across his abdomen as he extended a gracious bow towards the Guild Master.
As he straightened up he brought his hand up to his face and swept his long black hair back into place. "I apologize, Master Arcturus. I know full well that such an attack would do nothing against someone such as yourself. I just wanted a meager demonstration of your powers." The man extended his arms to his side, gesturing to the several individuals beside him. "Unfortunately, Grimoire Heart is well aware of your reputation. Territory Control!" As the man screamed out his words he rose his hands into the air, magical energy flowing skywards from within him as it formed to create a large dome that encased the battlefield. Once in place the magical energy faded from view and soon there was no trace there was anything at all.
As his opponents acted he narrowed his eyes and attempted to neutralize the man's magic. However one of the man's comrades, a young woman, was quick to intervene as she took up position between him and his target. As she got into positions she held her hands out to her sides as a magic circle formed before her. In rapid succession a series of magic circles surrounded the man behind her, one on each side as well as above him. Once the duo finished their setup it became abundantly clear to him what it was they were doing causing his features to darken even further. He should have expected as much from Grimoire Heart but it aggravated him all the same.
Emboldened by their leaders the second wave of mages charged his position. Like before their attacks were diverse as the front line of melee combatants rushed forward while an array of range-focused mages took up position behind them. If they believed this enough to win they were sorely mistaken. He ripped the large sword from the ground and held it skyward, the clouds above swirling and darkening by the second as flashes of light began to spread within them. A bolt of lightning emerged from one such flash and lanced down to impact upon his sword, temporarily blinding those closest to him. Electricity danced across the blade as it illuminated his surroundings. He gripped the handle with both of his hands and swung the blade down, leveling it towards the charging mages as a powerful blast of electricity arced forwards and slammed through the enemy's ranks. Those too slow or ill-equipped to handle the blast fell to the ground in convulsing heaps as others still were able to continue their attack.
The mages in the back unleashed a torrent of spells in his direction in the hopes of softening him up for their comrades. He hefted his sword up before slamming it down into the ground once again. A low rumble shook the ground as the very earth beneath him was torn asunder as massive slabs of stones rose forth to provide a barrier between him and his opponents. The sound of explosions once more rocked the clearing as the myriad of spells impacted upon his impromptu barricade. It was at this time that he took note of a rather peculiar individual approaching from behind. Based on her attire it was unlikely she was a member of Grimoire Heart, or at the very least not one of their foot soldiers.
He was about to deal with her when she identified herself as a member of Lamia Scale. He could see no mark on the girl to validate her claims and the only thing allowing her to remain standing was the fact that she had visited his Hall once before. He closed his eyes as he mulled over how to handle the girl. While not exactly pleased with having to deal with a member of another guild it was true that his opponents had robbed him of his most valuable assets. Seeing as how it was too late to turn her away the only option was to accept her offer. He opened his eyes and looked down towards the girl as she came to a stop beside him and offered her a small nod. "Well, Miss Grace, I shall accept your offer." He again pulled his sword from the ground and leveled it forward, pointing at the stone barrier before him and the man that lay beyond. "There are two powerful Grimoire Heart members that we must neutralize. If we can do that we shall win this battle."
