Looking up at the sky that was changing, the thing in control of Arnea's body growled as mana started to erupt from his body.
Letting out a roar, the mana transformed into a barrier that forced Nine away, allowing Arnea to clear a path towards Iris.
"Not on my watch!" Nine shouted as he threw away his sword and punched towards the ground.
*BANG!!!!!!
Shattering the ground around him, blades erupted out from the cracks and pierced into the mutated portion of Arnea's body.
Pushing out with his spare hand, Nine narrowed his eyes and activated a tier 5 magic circle.
All of the blades around him started to vibrate as illusionary shackles appeared around Arnea's body.
Surprisingly, despite being a tier 5 spell, Arnea found herself unable to advance.
Summoning all of the mana in her body, she tried to charge out but was halted in place.
