The boulders Liz threw at her got caught in the air by Meruin's barriers, and were promptly shot back at her. Meruin unleashed her spell, which took the form of a sheep that floated around her. She stared in amazement at the seals of Liz.

"That's . . . I am impressed Liz," she said, genuinely astonished. "Sealing multiple elementals into yourself? I'll admit that this is the first time I've ever seen something like this! I can see that you've been busy over the years. Don't think that it will make it any less harder for you to defeat me though."

She drew more runes in the air, and several bolts of lightning came down at Liz. Rock or water would not suffice for a defense - the rock would burst into pieces while the water would boil into air.

Her eyes went wide as a bubble of water appeared around Marcus. "Ryan! He's already unconsious, leave him," she said, "and can you not shut the Gates? The situation is not as urgent as you think. I can do something about this, I just need time."

Meruin listened to Marcus as he spoke, and frowned. "It seems that everyone here is bent on making me talk a lot today," she muttered, even as she prepared to respond. The barriers of Meruin held fast as they were bombareded with bullets made of wind. 

"The one's who can't repress their own evils are, again, pathetic, Marcus," stated Meruin calmly. "Saying you can't is an excuse that the weak make to feel better about themselves, and besides, I make no claims to being pure - I have my own flaws, but what makes different from you is that I can stop myself from being dominated by them."

"And Marcus, if ever there comes a time where I should have to choose between death and regret, I would choose death every single time."

Meruin brought out another magic book, ripping out a several pages from it that began to glow brightly. "Divine Purification Seals," she intoned. The pages folded themselves and came out looking like paper cranes, which launched themselves at Marcus.
