” Thank ye kindly…” Lumi would utter with a voice so echoed and winded that her words almost shattered. Her arms pulled back and her gaze went upward while she harnessed the mana she felt needed for the task. When the energy felt like it was bunching up from within her, she looked back down toward the men. Glancing at each and everyone of them before slowly reaching her arms forward and clasping her hands.
And it was as if in that moment, there was an electricity in the air. As the men could all feel a distinct crackle.
If the Demoness’ form warped or if it was the darkness bending around her. None of them could be sure. She was still in the likeness of a girl one second and then more reminiscent of a demon the other. And her eyes would glow a particular purple. Of course the men would hardly have a moment to think much about it when the lavender magical circle would flash quickly beneath them. And then the true could would arise.
What looked like moving shadow would paint the ground before shards of jagged ice sprouted upward. At first they were in clusters until they bloomed in the likeness of lotus flowers. Each petal looked dainty but sharp and would take up most of the space beside the men, forcing them into tight spots and tighter corners.
” Sheild yerself best ya can.” Lumi warned, as her spell was about to enter the crescendo. And she figured none of their stances would add them from any of the adjacent clusters. Of course she wouldn’t afford them a lot of time to adjust either. The Demoness was eager to inflict her spell and the more damage they could take, the more it would amuse her.
And so with a wicked smile, the rest of her spell begun to trigger. It started with the outer rim and worked its way in, not the usual intention of design but to soak in the look of dread on their faces as her shattering blossoms would pop rapidly toward them. And sure enough the jagged shards were flying everywhere, impaling all that they came shooting toward but being too strong to shatter any further. No it would be on her will that they broke even more.
One the sight of her destructive chaos, Lumikki was giddy. It was like seeing fire works for the first time but far closer. And the sight of humans struggling in the destructive bursts only filled her with more pleasure and joy. But is was not a spell to sustain, so sadly it would come to an end and Lumi would quickly dispel her will on the frost so that it could break away.
” Whether ye think of me as such or not, I am kind. Others would throw spells and attacks like this toward ya with no remorse or care for yer life. If ye can’t brave me training or survive me spells, ye’d hardly enjoy this kinda work. I’ll tell ya that.”She glanced at all of the men once more but stopped her gaze at one.
” But at least I could say, ye’d fair well. Ya did fine mate to survive me storm. May ye not need to train spells with me often…” The Demoness would walk over to Creed and put her hand on his arm. Willing her magic to heal his wounds and stop his bleeding at a time when he still didn’t loose a lot of blood. But for the others, she simply scoffed.
” Yer lot could heal on yer own, but don’t take yer time. Help them over to Viv,” she told the one she healed.
