The clones continued chanting. To call them 'clones' however was not doing justice to what they really were. It woule be more accurate to call them 'lesser Meruins' - they were not false, and their very existance managed to trick the world. By the definition of reality, they were definitely 'real'. If they were fakes, then none of them would have the ability to cast a spell.

Meruin stared at the giant wave of nullification coming at her. She glanced at Ryan and Deus, hoping that Ryan would be able to take care of himself. Meruin promptly swapped places with one of her clones, which summoned another clone. 

Initially, the two of them were preparing a spell, however, upon seeing the situation, Meruin had changed their instructions: she overloaded their spells, causing a respectable explosion near Dues.

Meruin paused. Suddenly, all the spells of her clones were disabled, and her swords shook before shattering. She looked at a falling Ryan from a distance and her eyes narrowed. She knew logically speaking that none of them would be hurt after this but . . . for some reason, she was now feeling incredibly annoyed. For a second, she even briefly considered using her Grimoire, but then dismissed the idea. There was no need to get serious just for this. 

She flew back towards Marcus and Ryan at a slow speed, and chanted a spell which caused a platform of wind to catch Ryan. 

"Tony, Lucy!" she shouted. "If you can hear me, I will leave you two to deal with the others. Leave these two to me."

For now, Meruin would ignore everyone else. There was no need to get serious in this match but . . . she would have to be strict with these two. The others, she will deal with in due time.

Eventually, she faced both Deus and Marcus again. She stared at the both of them; Deus covered in a Negative Aura, Marcus with his darkened eyes and her expression went cold. Just like that boy, James Hunter from last year, they had crossed certain lines that she would rather they not. She only had one word to describe the two of them . . .
