She had half-hoped her spell would have done [i]something[/i], but she knew better than that. Taking in a breath, she prepared herself as her spell would finish. [i][color=ivory]You're becoming predictable. The first minute has passed.[/color][/i] Ultima informed her. [i][color=ivory]Things will only continue to worsen from here on. Feel the Mist around you, differentiate those of light, and those of darkness. You and I are now connected--make the discerntion and react accordingly.[/color][/i] The advice was appreciated, for once, but it was also easier said than done. Just as she had given Zodiark a slew of her magicks, he still had yet to reveal himself. She glanced at her father, who nodded back at her. [i][color=coral]I'm glad one of us believes,[/color][/i] She couldn't help but think grimly, eyeing Zodiark as he would prepare his next spell.

She readied herself to deflect the orb, only for it to disappear, instead resulting in a spell. It seemed the entire area was covered, a Graviga. Nadeline raised her rapier, but in the next moment, she felt a weight completely crushing her. She almost fell over entirely--the spell hadn't even gone off yet! How was this possible? But that was the least of her worries, as a series of reactions alerted her that she was not the sole target this time. It took everything she had to remain standing, though she knew that the full force of the spell would happen at any second.

"[color=darkorange]HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THIS?![/color]" Lorenzo shouted, clearly having been knocked down and unable to get back up. "[color=darkorange]I'M TOO YOUNG TO NEED HELP GETTING UP![/color]"

Grant had managed to stay sitting, considering his own magicks were also Arcane-based, though he had to admit this was on a far larger scale than any he had done. "[color=darkorchid]It's coming, Nadeline![/color]" He managed to shout out a warning.

Oh sure, tell her what to do, it wasn't like she already knew things were bad! Planting her feet on the ground, she struggled to raise her weapon, its tip glowing. Her crown would let off a similar shine, the light spreading. She knelt down, and would appear to push back up against the spell itself as she would slowly stand. She could feel every muscle in her body screaming as she struggled, but this was just getting started. A reflective barrier seemed to form the more she pushed, and as she finally stood straight, the light from her rapier shined. A Reflect had been cast, dissolving the Graviga, though to say it was victory wasn't quite right yet.

"[color=coral]My turn![/color]" She called, her voice resonating with Ultima's as about a dozen glyphs would appear around her. Each one spun, colored a different element, and each one seemed to fire its own magick--separated, yet attacking in unison, one of every element.

These magicks were beyond Jaakuna, they were even beyond her. She couldn't believe what was happened, he seemed to know precisely what it was that he was doing. How was he doing this? Had he surpassed the Blue Rose? No, he lost to her. She had defeated her. If she had defeated her, then why was he having the upper hand right now?! Frustration seemed to build up along the burning, though Emiri wasn't sure how much longer she could take it. The way he spoke so gently, it made her angry. Did he think he was better than she was?! Did he think she was going down after one hit?!

Pushing back against him, Emiri struggled, though she had a crazed look as she looked at him. "[color=palevioletred]This...this is [i]nothing[/i] compared to the pain I've felt![/color]" She shouted, a second wind reinvigorating her as she would push back against him, though she would stop, instead choosing to bring him in closer, promptly headbutting him hard. She wrenched free from his grip, extending her free hand as she would charge up her own attack. She couldn't quite ignore the flames she felt, but she was determined to push through it. She would strike him with an open palm, the initial hit not being anything special, though it would then explode a second later.
