  The Aqua Whirlwind formed around Risebelle with its swirling waters and razor-sharp bdes creating a tempest of chaos.

  Sylra immediately sprang into a. She swiftly moved to Arlysa using her earth aura to protect them. She created ah around themselves which prevehe water from reag them. The csh of water ah created a barrier of elemental forces.

  Risebelle thinking on her feet eled her icy magito the Aqua Whirlwind whitensified its power and causeda freezing effect. The whirlwind transformed into a swirling tempest id water and ig Arlysa’s earth dome in a thick yer of frost. The dome, now frozen solid, momentarily halted Arlysa’s attack.

The on discharged a bst of energy, propelling Risebelle upward towards the dark moon. Her outstretched hand reached for Roselle, who was dangerously close to being ed by the dark celestial body.

  The situation became intense as Risebelle’s fingers inched closer to Roselle’s hand.With a heart-pounding moment of desperation, Risebelle’s fingers brushed against Roselle’s outstretched hand, and then, with a final burst of effort, she mao grab onto her sister’s hand. The intense heat radiating from Roselle’s body caused the ice around Risebelle to melt rapidly. As the ice melted away, Risebelle ehe searing pain of the burn damage grittieeth.

  Roselle, notig Risebelle’s sacrifice, couldn’t hide her . “Risebelle, you’re melting!” she excimed as she held onto her sister.

  Risebelle and Roselle desded from the dark moon’s grasp. Risebelle wasted no time in giving her sister a quiand.

  “Roselle, gather a fireball!” she excimed.

  Roselle nodded in uanding and focused her energy, juring a fiery sphere of power between her hands.

  With a swift yet coordinated effort, Risebelle and Roselle aimed for the ie where Arlysa and Sylra were trapped. Roselle hurled the fireball with precision, and it struck the dome with explosive force, shattering the frozen prison and sending fiery shards in all dires.

  Arlysa and Sylra were caught off guard by the sudden attack due to being frozen and ended up engulfed in the explosion. The intense fmes and shards of iflicted severe damage on the duo.

  Runebelle caught Risebelle and Roselle ensuring their safe nding on the ground below.

  “That was quick thinking, “An said.

  The group turo survey the aftermath of their atta Arlysa and Sylra. The Duo were battered and scorched by the explosion, struggling tain their posure. The dark moon in the sky still loomed ominously, but their enemies appeared signifitly weakened, providing a temporary advao their group.

  Arlysa, though out of breath and weakened held her staff aloft to tinue her spell. Sylra, however, appeared to undergo a transformation. Her eyes turned a fiery red, and a surge of power emanated from her.

  With her eyes burning like fire, Sylra spoke with raging iy. “How dare you interrupt Arlysa’s spell. I won’t stand for this! We’ll see this through to the end!”

  Arlysa had a dark aura swirling around her. She raised her staff higher and spoke with a sinister edge as she annouhe spell. “Malevolent Awakening!”

  Ohe word’s left her lips, a surge of dark energy enveloped Sylra which was intensifying around her body and amplifying her abilities. Sylra’s anger fred. She she let out a deafening roar with a red glow radiating from her with an ominous presence.

  Sylra moved swiftly and began to create boulders from her rock shards. She sent them towards An. An unleashed a torrent of fire to ter the ining assault. The csh of elements created a chaotic dispy of fmes and rocky projectiles shooting past each other but An mao hold his ground for the moment.

  Sylra now decided to close in on Risebelle. Her attacks came with blinding speed. Risebelle attempted to form a water shield to protect herself; however, the force of Sylra’s earth magic proved overwhelming. The shield shattered instantly and Risebelle was left dazed and battered struggling to remain scious.

  Sylra charged at Runebelle, the young creation of Kintovar wielded her giant needle, attempting to fend off the oning assault. However, Sylra’s newfound power, enhanced by Malevolent Awakening, allowed her to move with incredible speed and precision. She deftly dodged Runebelle’s attacks, creating an opportunity to unleash her quid trap.

  With a sudden and calcuted move, Sylra triggered the trap beh Runebelle’s feet. The ground turned into a treacherous pit of quid, trapping Runebelle and immobilizing her. Struggling to escape the sinking sand, Runebelle felt her movements grow sluggish and her situation grow dire.

  Meanwhile, Sylra turned her attention to Roselle, who had attempted to use her fire magic to stop Arlysa. Sylra deflected Roselle’s fire bsts with ease and shouted at her with anger ione. “How dare you try to touch Arlysa!”

  Gathering the power of the earth into her fist, Sylra delivered a devastating punch to Roselle. The impact sent Roselle flying through the air, her body battered and barely able to maintain sciousness. The battlefield had turned into a fierd chaotic battleground, and the sisters found themselves fag overwhelming odds.

  Roselle, her body battered and bruised, could hardly keep her eyes open. She g her system status, her vision blurred as she struggled to stay scious.

  Roselle’s Lifeforce: 10%

  Risebelle, one eye closed and her body ag from the relentless battle, mao check her own system status.

  Risebelle’s Lifeforce: 15%

  Runebelle, who had endured less damage than her sisters, observed her own status.

  Runebelle’s Lifeforce: 55%

  “Roselle! Risebelle! Runebelle!” An shouted desperately but he was drowned out by the overwhelming onsught of boulders and the chaos of battle. His attempt to reach them was hindered by the relentless assault leaving him struggling to make his presenown.

  Sylra was still seething with anger and frustration. She stomped heavily on the ground with her rage eg through the nd. She took slow, deliberate steps as she approached the nearly unscious Roselle.

  “You won’t escape me, Roselle,” Sylra hissed, “I’ll have my revenge for what you’ve done…Unfortunately for you, no god awaits you oher side!”

  Roselle’s mind raced with a whirlwind of thoughts. She couldn’t escape the overwhelming presence of Sylra’s hatred, a hatred born from the loss of Thalindra, the forest guardian she had been forced to front.

  ‘Do I deserve this?’ Roselle questioned herself. ’I had no choice but to defend myself. Thalindra left me with no other option, a... ’Her thoughts trailed off as she grappled with the plex emotions swirling within her

  In that intense moment, Roselle frohe sequences of her as and the pain it had caused others.

  Sylra made it over to Roselle and she pced a strong grip around her neck. She then she lifted her off the ground. Roselle felt a rush of fear and desperation. She was helpless in the face of Sylra’s vengeance.

  Slowly, her punch hand moved forward in a calcuted, approach toward Roselle, as she decred,

  “Finally, Kintovars creation, the one who took away Thalindra is in my hands! Ahahaha! You have taken so many lives already and Thalindra… So for and all the lives taken by your hands and for Thalindra Roselle, THIS IS MY REVEENNGE!!!!!”

  ‘This wasn’t what I wanted,’ Roselle thought, her gaze locked with Sylra’s intense, revenge-filled eyes. ’I never wao be someone who took the lives of mages or even the forest guardian, Thalindra. But... ’She paused, her thoughts gravitating toward the painful truth. ‘Mages, including Thalindra showed us no mercy. Thalindra herself sealed off any escape route, leavih no other choice but to front her.’

  Sylra’s ched fist drew closer and everything became Gray for Roselle as her life began to fsh before her eyes. Roselle’s mind raced with memories and ihoughts.

  “I remember,” Roselle whispered to herself, “My earliest moments. When Dr.Kintovar activated me... the Mages eliminated ah zero magicluding Stists.. How could they do such a thing? No mercy... they showed me no mercy.” She reflected on the harsh reality she had faced, the struggle for survival in a world that had shown her nothing but cruelty.

  Her body began to stir, slowly but resolutely. Her fmes intensified, and her spirit burned brighter with each passing sed. “I ’t fail Dr. Kintovar... I ’t let my sister’s down,” she thought while gaining strength. “I’ve e so far... we’ve e so far... for this ce at a future together.” Roselle’s desperate thoughts transformed into resolve as she fought to survive and fulfill her purpose.

  In the nick of time, just as Sylra’s ched fist threateo strike Roselle’s head off of her body, the grouh Sylra began to grow unbearably hot. Suddenly, An burst forth from beh the boulders, gasping for breath but still ready to intervene. With a surge of power, he shouted:

  “Extreme Magic: Bzing Inferno!”

  The fmes erupted with a ferocity that engulfed both Roselle and Sylra. The seari and scorg iy of the fire were enough to force Sylra to lose her grip on Roselle. Gasping for breath, Roselle found herself free, her body singed but still intact. She still had her head! She desperately tried tain her posure and breathing amidst the bzing inferno that raged around her.

  Roselle found herself within the searing embrace of the Bzing Inferno. This was wheiced something peculiar. Her body which was ily infused with the fire element appeared to grant her a remarkable resilieo the scorg fmes. Unlike Sylra who had been ed by the inferno, Roselle felt the intense heat wash over her without causing harm.

  “Finish her now, Roselle! Don’t waste this ce!” An’s said with urgency.

  With an uanding nod, Roselle began to gather the fmes around her creating an intense heat that radiated from her being.

  “I’m sorry, Sylra, for everything that’s happened. I ’t ge the past and I ’t go back. There is only ohing I know for real… I won’t give up this fight. The Magical Academy is our enemy. I will fight with everything I have left, and together, me and my sister’s destroy the Magical Academy and take down the headmaster!”

  Roselle gathered her strength and focused otack. She could feel the fiery energy surging within her. Fmes swirled around her, f a trated stream of intense heat.

  “Fire Stream!”

  The trated bze erupted from her, resembling the power of An’s Magic. Sylra reacted swiftly, raising her earth defenses in the form of boulders. However, something was different this time. Her defenses seemed weaker, and she struggled to maintain them as Roselle’s fire stream overwhelmed her.

  Frustration and anger boiled within Sylra as she shouted hly, ” What the hell?!What’s going on here?! Why are my boulders--?”

  With a knowing smile, Roselle interrupted, “In Areme Magic, the fire element is boosted, but all other elements are hindered. Some people’s powers may even be shut off entirely if their affinity isn’t high enough.”

  Sylra’s desperate struggle against the fiery onsught intensified but it was clear that she was overpowered. Her screams of frustration and paihrough the area. The fmes bzed out in a powerful explosion that engulfed a rge radius. The intense heat and force of the attack caused the ground itself to tremble.
