Even as Time Lord's spell locked the pair in place, Zeref coolly turned his gaze first to Ash and then to Ariel. [color=Black]"You're just like those Fairies, standing between me and what's mine."[/color] With a wave of his hand, two black magic hands appeared, one back handing the fireball throwing girl into the trunk of a tree, where she'd find herself firmly stuck in it and the other sending the winged girl careening into the ground, where she would bounce a couple of times on impact before sliding to a stop. Then his black magic surged around him as he faced the bulk of the mages. [color=Black]"One hundred years ago, the Fairies and their allies stood before me to stop me from taking Fiore. It would seem their descendants and their allies are here to stop me again."[/color]

His magic flared up even more as a trio of dark magic spears formed behind him. [color=Black]"You're not the Fairies. You don't have their tenacity or their heart. You have no hope of stopping me."[/color] His gaze swept over the assembled wizards before settling on Time Lord, who was still actively trying to figure out how he had broken the holding spell he'd put on Ariel and Ash. [color=Black]"You're going to make this difficult, perhaps I deal with you first."[/color] Almost before anyone could react, the spears soared towards Time Lord, aiming to impale vital organs.

Damian, though still confused, called out a warning, but knew it was fruitless. And then it happened again as his magic flared, the black light of it filling his eyes as his Hermes Blades appear in hand. He dashes in between the spears and Time Lord, and as he slides, his Hermes Blades, become his new Hercules Blade and he slices, the wind slashes cutting the spears of black magic in two. [color=FireBrick]"Look, I'm not entirely sure what's going on or why that asshole dropped me here, but I DO know that you're dangerous. So get rea-"[/color] The Blade of Phoenix Wing found himself cut off as more spears soared towards him and he countered. This only further annoyed the Black Mage.

[color=Black]"Vanish from my sight."[/color] A wave of dark magic surges before it rushes towards Damian and Time Lord and this time, he wasn't sure he could beat it. And then the voice returned, echoing through his mind as his perception of time slows.

The Black Mage who's shadow creeps
He shall now fell thee on this day
Awaken now, true Ares Blade![/color][/i][/center]

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HItAhwZxfQ]In a flash of light[/url], Damian's swords change again, moving from his new Hercules Blade to his Ares Blades before they changed before his eyes into a single [url=https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/cd6c9ae9-b720-4ee7-a4ba-6824344dc6e6.jpg]slightly curved[/url] blade. Acting purely on instinct, he grabbed the hilt and unleashed a vertical upwards slash, unleashing the magic energy in a wave that cleaved the wave in twine, as Damian sheathed the katana in the traditional fashion, his eyes still alight with his magic energy.

Zeref, however, was largely unconcerned as he turned his attention to the others. As he looked them over, he came across a mage sporting a magitech arm wielding a sword and while he seemed to have winded himself, he seemed vaguely familiar. After a moment, it clicked and he unleashed a magical assault towards him. [color=Black]"Ah yes, Magus Ferrin. Mavis mentioned you on several occasions."[/color] And then he unleashed his magic upon everyone present, raining any number of black magical constructs and even engaging  a couple of the mages himself.
