With a loud crush and holders falling from the sky in the luxurious room that as Noe become the battle ground for Lyra and her inverse as the inverse swaying back dodging each of Lyra punches as it lands her own that seems to send shockwaves through the cave and Lyra body
Lyra coughing blood stumbles back her healing magic working overtime as she smirks "you got me good this time but"she said her voice filled with fatigue and frustration as before the inverse can react it is punched into the cave wall by a massive stoned hand
Lyra wiping her mouth begins to come up with a plan to beat her inverse
Judging by her physical appearance magical control and ether her inverter was most likely a older version of herself with more experience then she currently does but she can't wrap get head around how she got here in the first place
The inverse raising up from the ground now covered with armour made form stone as with inhuman speed Kicks Lyra through the cave walls into a crystal lined cave
Lyra countering uses earth magic fall pillar
As pillars of earth create a cage like ring and walk to bring some distance between herself and the inverse
"Oh man that was close and if it wasn't for me using healing magic along with reinforcement magic I would have been done for"Lyra hold onto her stomach that's steaming bet a terribling through fills her made get codex is nowhere to be seen but before she can look
Her inverse punched through the wall and behind Swingin a massive Warhammer
Lyra rolling, dodging and even blocking shouts "why on earth are you freakening attacking me"
She remembers as soon as she entered the cave there was a moment of silence between her and her inverse which then started to attack her without any reason but deep down she knows the inverse only goal is to kill her and take her place
Lyra her arms glowing a orange as the two begin throwing a barge of of attack at one another the inverse magic made weapons getting destroyed by Lyra blur if punches as the ground below them begins to shake and crack,the inverse now throwing her own punches as they block Lyra courses an explosion that sides the both of them flying back
Lyra now getting up from a cratler "was that ether resonance just now"her voice muttered and worn,with a mix of disbelief and surprise
Ether resonance a phomeomon that only happens when two beings reach the same output of ether coursing there minds to sync and creating a blast of magical power
The mere throught of it came with a raise of questions on how Lyra was able to do this with her evil reflection
Lyra taking on a more offences stand as the glow around her hands wrap around her entire body,her eyes glowing a bright orange as she smiles and says "okay then let's go all out me and you"
The inverse raising to her feet glows a sinister red as her stone armour becomes one of pure energy with her chest being covered by orange stones ,the two change towards each each launching a barge if blurred punches sounds more like gun shots
As with a blur of movement and the after glow of there ethereal auras two dart around the room there attacks shaking the very earth
Lyra due to her codex disappearing us unable to use her healing spell to regenerate any limbs so she as chosen to use reinforcement magic to enhance her body durability but with her ether running out and her limits fast approaching he begins to think about about the church,another mother Maria and sister Emily , even all her adopted siblings that left, her aura behind to faint as she slows down
The inverse seeming in raged by her giving up muttered a single word"die"as she punches Lyra straight through the ground the impact coursing the floor to turn into melten stone,as Lyra crutches straight into it her body disappearing into the magma
The scene shifts to a maze filled with roots,vines and even flowers
Draugur eyes widening as he falls to the ground the voices of Raven, Eren and Lyra filling him mind as his eyes glow a bright yellow he thinks to himself what the hell is going on,the cave begins to rumble as two figures one made or steel and the other made of bronze appear holding massif blades
Draugur his face one of grim determination as his takes his blade out of his codex,he muttered to himself"first Iris disappears then I'm hearing there voices in my head like those knuckles heads are going to die now tinfoil and copper is getting in my way what kinda exam is this"
Without any hesitation the steel and bronze figures change him with amused chuckles as they begin to Battle
On the other side of the maze Para and Krex who been travelling for hours take a break
Kera her eyes wide with worry and concern
"There's a problem the ethers of Raven, Eren and Lyra disappeared and two massive ether just appeared and are battling against Draugur"she explained to Para who stared at her with disbelief
"You can actually sense ether" Para said unsure if what she just explained was true or abwaynto distract him but Krex get voice filled with pride of her abilities"of course I can my magic allows to inheritly know the ether of my prey and determine which one is stronger then it will cast an illusion"
Para his voice deadpan and almost disinterested "so basically your illusion depend on the amount of ether your victim as and your mist affinity allows you to sense ether but in any case we'll need to be prepared for anything"
As he looks into the distance his expression turns serious as he thinks about the mission his master assigned to him and the unwanted punishment for failure
"I can't let that dark magic wielding brat die or it will be my head joining him"
