Violet Class

A gigantic Stelle Beast with the body of a brown bear, the head of a lion, and the wings of an eagle appeared out of the portal. The towering monster was large enough to contend against Umbra, striking fear in the hearts of the enemies.

"Don't falter! They are just students!" Kallel shouted.

"Just students?! Tsk! I am the heir of the South Dragonoid Corps!" Yndrei exclaimed as he fully activated the Draco Constellation behind him. His entire body became covered with his scales as he evolved to look more like a dragon than a person.

{Draco: Minor Authority}

Yndrei's Minor Authority caused a portal to form before him, releasing some ten drakes which were the size of the Wind Falcons. Despite this, though, the tide did not turn in their favor. Instead, this was necessary to maintain a 4v4.

Dexter was fighting against three members of The Integrals while two more of their members were fending off the entire wave of Stelle Beasts that Yndrei and Lea released. Z, on the other hand, was protecting Lea as she focused all her might on supplying Dexter with enough energy to fight while Z was manipulating the raining feathers to only target the enemies.

"These brats! Ymmoya, stop playing around. Noel is still stronger than Sir Roderick, we need to kill them now!" Kallel ordered.

"Tsk! You better compensate me for working hard," a woman with a fiery temperament said as she removed the hood of her jacket, revealing a middle-aged woman with flawless skin. She had red hair, black dragon-like eyes, and horns similar to Yndrei. The back of her clothes was torn apart after she released her wings as she gathered power from her Draco Constellation.

Yndrei was staring at her with deep resentment and disappointment. "How could a Dragonoid like you betray the cause!?" he asked Ymmoya, blazing in anger.

"Screw the cause! We are nothing but tools for that. Wake up you blind drake," she mocked, making Yndrei greatly irritated.

"Drake, huh? I am going to use that later," Z said while nodding toward Ymmoya.

"Would you please focus on the fight?" Lea said while gritting her teeth, clearly, controlling Dexter was taking a toll on her.

"I do not know why you are so committed to this fight."

"What? We are going to die! Why are you not making more effort should be the question," She said, looking at Z in complete disbelief.

"You are underestimating our teammates. I must say, that Dragonoid of ours is quite weak, but Lady Ashe and that shining knight are much more powerful than you think," Z said quite loudly which caused Henry to smirk and Ashe to meaningfully look at him.

"You have quite the eyes," Henry said.

"You should have said something before I spent a Violet Crystal," Lea said while looking at Z like a child who had her candy taken away.

"Mr. Shining Knight, this damsel is getting quite tired. Why not make it easier for her?" Z taunted.

Henry could only turn his head before emitting a blinding light and chanting.

[Oh, Great Deity of Justice, grant me thy power to punish these sinners! Assimilate!]

{Mythology: Themis}

{Themis: Minor Authority}

|For the Light|

Henry glowed like a noble paladin after assimilation and activating his Celestial's Minor Authority. Consequently, a surge of Arcane came toward the rest of the Violet Class, providing them with immense resources.

"Whoo, thanks," Lea said after finally getting a break from exhausting her Arcane.

{Draco: Major Authority}

|Dragonoidic Might|

The morale that was lifted up by Henry's actions was quickly dispelled by Ymmoya showcasing her skills. She emitted a terrifying force that was coupled with the transformation of her body into something closely resembling a dragon. In a blink of an eye, she completely overpowered Yndrei who she was facing against. The latter put all his might into defending, but it was not getting better.

{Themis: Minor Authority II}

|Protection of the Righteous|

Henry immediately supported him with another Authority, shielding him from Ymmoya's attacks. All he could do was defend, though, albeit well.

"He already has a second Minor Authority? Alas, I just cannot with these geniuses," Lea sighed.

Seeing that she was not going anywhere, Ymmoya turned her sights to Lea who was sitting atop Umbra. With a strong flap of her wings, she leaped toward her like a missile.

"Damn!" Yndrei could only curse as he was utterly helpless in preventing Ymmoya from leaving. Henry shifted his protection toward Lea, but they knew that it would only save her life. If Ymmoya got to her, Dexter would lose his source of power, hence adding more enemies for them.

Meanwhile, Z and Ashe were staring at each other as if waiting for someone to make a move. Just before Ymmoya reached them, Z sighed as he called Umbra.

|Solitary Nightmare|

"Caw!" Umbra cried as she turned into a shadow which quickly repelled Ymmoya's attack. The latter only saw utter darkness after it faced Umbra, 'What the hell is this!?' she thought.

Lea stared at Z in amazement. In that short span, Umbra became a sphere that imprisoned Ymmoya, and just like that, the tide of the battle shifted. "Who would have thought that you had it in you?" Lea said with a shocked smile.

"The way people say thank you in Libertia is strange," Z replied which earned a sly grin from Lea.

{Musca: Minor Authority}

|Swarm|

A member of The Integrals activated, creating a portal from which a swarm of flies, locusts, and other flying pests came out. All of them were targeted toward Z who just consumed a great amount of Arcane to use Umbra's ability.

{Aquila: Minor Authority}

|Tempest|

Gale immediately jumped away from his battle to protect Z by activating his Authority. The wind suddenly shifted and blew hard against the flight path of the insects which caused them to return to their caster. Z ruffled Gale's head as a sign of thanks as he looked at Ashe, waiting for something.

Noticing this, Ashe nodded her head. Z could not see through the second layer of the veil covering her nose and mouth, but he was certain that she smiled.

Tainted Blue Runes appeared around Ashe's hands as she intently stared at Kallel. "Damn it!" the latter cursed after realizing what was about to happen. "Why is there a cursed human here!?" he exclaimed.
