[quote=TheHangedMan] Meruin smiled. Tyler thought that she was chanting an offensive spell, if that rather impressive elemental barrier said anything. She closed her eyes and let the feeling of magic rush over her. She was worried that he might be able to stop her from chanting, but it seemed he was nowhere near as physically adept as Sol or Mutt. The spell she'd just finished was a mana conversion spell. The used up energy in the air was now a weapon for her to use.Then she activated Grand Pheonix Ritual in the gym, and lifted the golden bookmark she'd pulled out earlier. Her smile grew. Magic was ."Well, Tyler, I do not mean to sound condescending, but this is checkmate. I will give now to surrender," said Meruin, who's body was wreathed in a faint gold and red flame. [/quote] "Let me think about it... No." Tyler's barrier around him crumbled as he revealed an armor of lightning infused water around him. "To think I have to reveal my trump card so soon. Sigh." Tyler's new armor appeared to be very ornate but released an aura of power around it. " This armor multiples my speed by ten times. It also makes me physically untouchable." He explained as he formed a broadsword made of earth. He dipped it into the ground and it came out flaming. " At the end of this battle I'm definitely going to be passed out, but it'll be worth it. Eventually." He leaped into the air and began moving at mach speeds around Meruin. He was producing afterimages he was moving so fast. He waited for Meruin to make her move.
