Meruin clicked her tongue. Liz was going to be a problem, especially if she brought out Euphie. Just Deus or Marcus was already a tall order, but the arrival of their third member made things exponentially more difficult.
As soon as the Liz attacked, Meruin responded. Drawing a rune in the air, several bolts of lightning came down. There were three for every clone, and the heat from them flash-fried them. The small mage went a few spaces backwards. Normally, she would creat barriers at this point, but with Marcus around, that would be useless. As the Leviathan and Beelzebub attacked her, two small magic books appeared in the space in front of Meruin. They opened up in front of them and they rammed into the books, which closed in on them, attempting to suck them in and seal them.
Meruin glanced at Marcus. He was building up a lot of power. Meruin was taken aback as Marcus spoke, raving about his life. She was even more so upon seeing the tear run down his face. Killing his Master . . . . ? Not even in a million years could Meruin imagine doing the same to her own.
But . . . none of that matters, does it?
"Your experiences make up who you are, that is true. Your situation, it's worse than mine. It's infinitely worse than mine, in fact, but I can relate to you, believe me, I can . . ." said Meruin softly, "however no knows about your life, no one cares about your life until you let them. There are no signs that tell us what you've lived through, so how are they suppose to judge you? They see how you are now, and that is what matters!
"What do you think I am seeing right now Deus? I will tell you: Marcus, who has given up himself for power, and you, who is willingly let his power control him, instead of the other way around! What else am I suppose to call this scene other than pathetic!?" The small mage rarely raised her voice, but she made an exception for the man in front of her.
"A battle of spells against a shadow of a person is not worth my time, so get this pathetic thing in front of me out of the way and bring out the true Deus!"
With that final declaration, Meruin's mind worked rapidly as she considered her next move in the few seconds of thought she was alloted.
'Three people: Water, Negation, Darkness. Liz, Marcus, Deus. Under what part of the Four Aeons did they fall under respectively? Creation, Void and Void again. I can counter Liz's Creation with Destrcution, but how can I bring Existence to my side to counter a double Void? Something they can't devour, something too big for them. Spells, concepts, what concept is permanent enough? A large Existence concept. No, a counter concept? Against Deus, yes, but how about Marcus? What can - yes, contradictory concepts, that would be perfect.
Meruin drew into the air, and several barriers and shields formed, and drew several runes on herself as well. Meanwhile, she was chanting a spell - one of her favorites, and one of the first spells Master Reina taught her.
