"Oh no you don't," muttered Meruin through grit teeth. Just as she was about to send the legion after him, she suddenly had brilliant idea. Swiping another finger through a book, she disappeared from her earth shield, where she was hidden from Tylers eyes. The construct was still there and so was the Golden Veil, but Meruin herself was not - not that anyone would be able to notice.

The magician was now outside the gym, floating above it and smiling as she chanted her spell.

David raised his hand. "Yeah, sure I'll do it," he said grinning, "because the guy I asked to partner with me up and ignored me," he muttered sullenly.

Meruin 'tched' in frustration. The shield would hold, but it would be severely weakened. That wasn't good. It was her greatest defense against Tyler, who was currently a walking hurricane (she was sure he would stop soon, but she wasn't sure he would stop soon enough) She used part of her undead legion to jump up and intercept some attacks.

In the meantime, she slid Golden Authority through another book, and a wave of mud spread throughout the gym, causing the floors to cling towards Tylers feet.

The rock was repelled against the golden barrier, The Golden Veil was a special type of barrier in that even though it was powerful, it had a very specific weakness. Meruin stopped singing. The Elegy for the Dead was done.

From the ground floated pale transparent forms. Each of them looked like a warrior from the ancient times. Their eyes glowed eerie red and they turned in unison towards Tyler.

Tyler shook his head. This wasn't getting anywhere at all. He heard singing which wasn't a good sign at all. He formed some earplugs out of water so he could filter out that singing. He made a couple of spears out of water and sent them at her shield to test her defense.

The water spears crashed against Meruins barrier, doing nothing. In the meantime, Meruin kept singing.

She could keep throwing spells like this all day!

If Tyler hadn't given her that extra hour to prepare, there was no way she would've pulled this off. She'd have to thank whoever established that rule of 'the challenger obeys the challenged conditions' later. While inside her earthen shield, Meruin kept swiping the bookmark (it's official name was 'Golden Authority') and sent spells flying one after another. Normally, she would be drained and dead tired, but that was what the ritual was for.

Meruin frowned. It seemed her Hell Wolves where destroyed already. That meant she needed to change plans; she activated a spell and began singing, he soft voice slowly spreading across the gymnasium.

Meruin smiled faintly. "Never explain your abilities to a mage, Tyler. Haven't you heard? A magician never reveals their secrets."

The golden bookmark in her hand was a spell that was given to her as a gift from her Master. It would allow her to use the full potential of her books; as long as she had the energy and stamina, all Meruin had to do was swipe the card through a book and she could use any spell written inside instantly with no chanting time whatsoever - it was basically a magical cheat sheet. And Tyler had given her time to finish casting her mana cycling spell plus her Phoenix Ritual. There was no stopping her.

Meruin swiped the bookmark through seven books, and the following events happened:

1. A sphere of water expanded outwards in a diameter of 10m with as much force as a steamroller.
2. Large webs of lightning followed afterwards, trailing after the water or snaking upwards.
3. A large hand made of earth grabbed Meruin and concealed her inside, all the while shooting spikes in random directions.
4. Globes of light began appearing on the battle field - magical mines that sapped the energy of whatever came close to it.
5. A large magic circle burst into life above earth where Meruin was shielded, and a golden veil of magic spread over it.
6. Seven wolves made of fire formed a defensive circle around the area, snarling with lava dripping from their fangs.
7. The whole gymnasium began faintly glowing golden.

David just looked at Aiden and sighed. It looked like he didn't want to be partners with him or anything. He looked around.

"Hey, is there anyone who doesn't have a partner?" called David. "'cause I'm free!"

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 amazing.

"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.

The Meruin was a clone, but it wasn't about to let Tyler know that. Instead it dodged away from the knife as it saw it coming, and the real Meruin generated a spell in front of the clone who mimicked casting, so that it looked like it was the one making the spell. A ball of compressed air exploded outwards, clearing a wide area from the smoke.

All of the Meruins raised their hands up, and soon all of them hand a barrier surrounding them while they all continued chanting.
