The fact that the Valkan had both Sagehood as well as the Spirit Arts basically rendered Farlow’s advantage useless! But thankfully, Farlow was not the only person fighting!
WOOSH!
A figure suddenly appeared from the other side of the forest, and Gina pulled her hand back over her head as a long wind-blade materialized! The Valkan was in the middle of trying to swipe at Farlow again, so Gina knew that she had a few seconds before the monster could turn towards her, and she was going to use those seconds to give it at least one serious injury! But the winds suddenly shifted, and Farlow gasped as he felt the Valkan’s attention moving towards Gina!
"Gina, watch out!"
Farlow had sensed the sudden shift before Gina did, and by the time Gina realised what was happening, she could feel death breathing down on her neck! The Valkan had been in the middle of trying to swipe at Farlow, but the moment the Valkan noticed that Gina was trying to attack it from its blind spot, it had suddenly vanished in a gust of wind! The beast reappeared at Gina’s side with its paw pulled back, and Gina’s mind ran at an impossible speed as she quickly cancelled the attack that she had been planning and created a ball of wind around her!
SLASH!
This time, the claw swipe landed true, and Gina found herself being flung to the ground like a rocket!
BOOM!!
The entire forest seemed to shake from the impact, and Gina let out a small grunt as she got to her feet and moved immediately!
BOOM!
Not a moment later, the Valkan slammed into where Gina had been, and its claw dug a deep trench into the ground as it tried to cut her to pieces! Farlow appeared from the side and used the wind to push the Valkan back angrily, and Gina used Farlow’s distraction to catch her breath! Gina knew that the Valkan was strong, but she had no idea it could move that fast either. Was it some sort of skill, or did the Valkan just ride the wind and use that to appear beside her that quickly? Gina looked over at the Valkan once again, and she saw that it was starting to pick up speed as it attacked Farlow from many different locations at once! The Valkan appeared from the left and tried to hit Farlow, but Farlow managed to block it with a wind shield, but the Valkan easily vanished and reappeared from behind to try to hit Farlow again, but this time, Farlow barely managed to roll away from the attack, and he turned around and lashed out with a wind blade!
SLASH!
But the Valkan was already gone, and this time it appeared from behind and body slammed Farlow away! Farlow flew forward and slammed into a tree, and Gina quickly dashed forward when she saw the beast opening its mouth to reveal a blue light within! A vortex of blue energy began to swell around the beast’s mouth, and Farlow’s eyes widened when the Valkan suddenly unleashed the attack!
BOOM!
Slam!
But at the exact moment that the Valkan unleashed its attack, Gina attacked it with a gust of wind that slammed into the Valkan’s side, and that was enough to make the Valkan’s attack go off course, and Farlow watched with wide eyes as the entire forest beside him was eviscerated by the attack!
TWOOONNN!!!!
More than a thousand trees were immediately burnt to a crisp, and a large V-shaped groove was carved into the ground! The Valkan immediately turned towards Gina and roared in anger, and Gina had to move out of the way as it swiped at her! Gina jumped back and used her Sage powers to deflect the blades of wind that flew towards her, and she ducked as Farlow appeared and took charge of the battle once again! This time, Farlow decided that he was no longer going to be holding back, and he pulled out the sword he had strapped to his back and flew straight for the Valkan!
Gina looked towards the sword that Farlow was holding, and she was shocked by what she saw there! The sword was an intricate silver blade with a beautiful golden pommel, but it was obvious even from this distance that the edge of the silver blade was not sharpened at all! The blade was completely blunt! The sword in Farlow’s hand was an Elven Royal artifact known as the [Wind Shear], and it had been passed down from one king to the next for more than ten thousand years in Arandelle! The sword had the ability to absorb wind energy from whoever was wielding it and release the wind energy as a vibrating shell of wind that surrounded the blade and formed a super sharp blade around it! The sword had been crafted from a unique metal known as Virite! Virite was an extremely potent conductor of magic, but it was known to be one of the toughest materials in the Primordial Expanse, so there was nothing that they could use to sharpen it! So rather than wasting time to sharpen it, they had simply forged a sword from the metal, and they allowed the sword to form its own blade using the magical energy from whoever was wielding it! As one of the most precious metals in the Primordial Expanse, the Virite sword was both a symbol of prestige and power for the Elven Royal family!
Farlow charged straight at the Valkan with the [Wind Shear] in his right hand, and he used his left hand to deflect an attack from the beast’s claws! The Valkan sent three blades of wind at Farlow, and Farlow easily danced around all of them as he lowered his body to the ground and continued to run towards the Valkan! The Valkan realised that Farlow was not going to go down from long-distance attacks, and it immediately began to charge straight for him and jumped to try and pounce on him, but Farlow already anticipated that and he used a gust of wind to push himself off the ground! Farlow spun through the space in between the Valkan’s sharp nails, and in the next moment, he lashed out with his [Wind Shear]!
Slash!
ROARRRR!
The Valkan roared in anger as it felt Farlow’s blade cut a deep wound into its left side! The Valkan was shocked! It knew that it was not easy for any weapon to scratch its skin! The Valkan was not only one of the most powerful Spirits in this forest, but it was also a TITAN Rank I beast! It had already gotten used to being completely impervious to a lot of weapons! The Valkan felt an intense surge of energy coming from somewhere behind it, and it quickly turned around to see Gina crouching on the branch of a tree while preparing to launch herself at it! Gina’s hands were both held to the sides with massive spinning wind blades on them, and the moment Gina saw that the beast was in mid-air, she blasted off the tree with enough force to create a massive sonic wave!
BOOOM!!
Gina flashed across the air at a speed that was too fast for the beast to dodge, and Gina’s wind blade immediately tore into the beast’s neck and shoulder, carving a deep cut into its body that made it cry out even louder in pain! Gina landed about a hundred meters away from the beast, and she turned around quickly to see if her attack was enough to take the Valkan down, but Gina felt her eyes narrow in shock as she saw that the Valkan was still on its feet! The Valkan’s neck and shoulder had massive wounds from Gina’s attack, and there was also another massive cut along the Valkan’s stomach from where Farlow had attacked it, but it was still standing!
The Valkan was shocked by the fact that it had received so many wounds in such a short time! The wound it received from Farlow was already shocking enough, but Gina’s attack was something it never expected!
