The Arks

Meanwhile, the Valkyries continued to clash against each other. Both of them were far from winning this fight but they still had the energy to continue. Making this fight a stalemate. The two mightiest beings of the Universe were now clashing on Earth.

This was bound to draw unnecessary attention. Flashes of gold and blue light ran around the empty hall while black, purple ones fought against it. Mavislin was still using the shield and transparent sword ass Benjamin defended himself with his bare hands.

The thought of them sparring like this brought back old memories. Ones lost forever along with Valokia. Benjamin jumped away from the Valkyre's shield and landed on the ground while laughing.

"What's so funny?" asked an angry Valkyrie.

"Nothing. This just gives me so much nostalgia. You know, back when we were young. When we had our home in Valokia," said Benjamin, smiling.

"Well, if it wasn't for you, we'd still have that home," grumbled Mavislin as she placed her shield in front of her.

"All this time, you thought it was my fault?" asked Benjamin.

The Corrupted One vanished from his spot in an instant and appeared right at the Valkyrie's shield. Mavislin cursed as she could anticipate her attacker's speed.

"That hurts me!" shouted Benjamin as he punched the shield.

The impact of the attack was so large that it flung both sister and weapons towards the end of the hall. As a large crash occurred, Benjamin's Aura skyrocketed. Mavislin threw her shield away just to witness Benjamin get serious in battle.

"Howl Of the..." chanted Benajmin as he sucked in the Dark Element from all around.

"Crap!' yelled Mavislin as she shakily stood up.

She then concentrated on absorbing the area's Light Element.

"Howl Of The..." copied Mavislin as she placed her sword down.

"Abyss!"

"Valkyries!"

The two yelled at each other, a torrent of the Light Element met a torrent of the Dark Element. This sent a ground-shaking shockwave out and towards the main battle against Tiamat.

"What was that?" asked Ling, concerned.

"Don't worry! It's just the fight between siblings!" yelled Z as he continued to fire attacks at Tiamat.

"If anything, I'm sure we'll find a way to use the fight to our advantage against Tiamat," murmured Z, looking at the Congregation's old Headquarters.

He then gazed at the Time Boy. He may have been from the future, but even his future self has got limits. Raiyen won't hold on for much longer.

"I guess it's time to pull out my trump card," said Z as he placed his palms onto the ground.

Ice started to form around the ground. The area's temperature lowered. Tiamat had felt the effect and promptly sent the serpents to Z's way.

"Oh no you don't!" said Raiyen as he shot an arrow towards Z.

"You're not getting away from me!" shouted Raiyen.

His Elemental Energy shot through the roof with that last statement. The arrow dispersed in front of the squatting Ice Mage and opened another wave of arrows.

"Thank you, Time Boy," whispered Z as smiled with a broken heart.

"Hmph. Just do that spell well. I hope it would be as great as what I saw that day," murmured Raiyen as he closed his eyes.

Back at the duel between the mightiest beings, Mavislin wiped away the sweat from her forehead. She gave a chilling smile towards her twin.

"Impressive. I never thought that your Howl would be as strong as a normal Valkyrie's," said Mavislin as she straightened her back.

She then stretched out her arms and cracked her spine.

"That feels great."

"You should know, Mavy. My Howl is as strong, if not, stronger than others."

"You seem pretty confident about that."

"You know me well, twin sis," said the Corrupted One as he straightened up.

"Hmph," said Mavislin, as she fixated her eyes on her opponent.

Benjamin's Aura changed for the worse as he mumbled a few words.

"No! How could you?!" shouted Mavislin, in utter disbelief.

"Come, Gemini!" yelled Banejmain as his eyes flew open.

Two familiar scythes soared through the air. Mavislin dodged the two flying weapons and looked at what her twin caught.

"That was... Minwoo's weapon! How could you possibly use it?!" asked Mavislin.

"Did you think that a human could wield it?" asked Benjamin, smiling.

"What do you mean..."

"Still can't understand, little sis?"

"No human can ever wield the weaponry of Aether. The twin Scythes of Gemini, they are from the Upper Skies."

"No ordinary Mage either. And as sure as hell, you can't."

"And here I stand with it."

"That means... You truly have died..." whispered Mavislin.

"That's right. Only those who have passed on can draw out weapons from the Upper Skies," said Benjamin as he brandished his two large scythes.
