"But I'll say this; my favorite color would be whatever Mavislin loves. If she likes red today, then it's my favorite color as well. If tomorrow she prefers black, then I will follow suit. That girl is my world, so showing this memory is a mistake to make on your part, Raijin!" shouted Raiyen.
The scene started to shake and flicker, hinting that Rajin's spell could no longer hold the Time Mage. Raiyen stomped onto the ground, shattering the mirror beneath him and destroying the illusion, causing Raijin to back off.
Raiyen cursed as he never thought he'd need to pull out this weapon against such a person... And using it meant that the Time Mage would need to give a good reason to the Guardians for pulling it out again. Twice in a year would be enough to raise suspicion.
But it's the only thing Raiyen could come up with right now as Raijin was too far away to use a close-quarter combat tactic. So what the Time Boy needed was a long-ranged weapon, and there's only one good enough to fit the bill.
"Bring glory to me. Bring the winds to my hands. Bring me the weapon of the Upper Skies..." chanted Raiyen, concentrating the Wind Element in his two hands.
If this had been years earlier, Raiyen would've never pulled this stunt off since he was in a cave. But because one of his Main Elements was the Nature Element, and he had grown much more in the past few years, the Time Mage could convert Raijin's attacks into any Elements relating to Nature.
"Only those who wield the Forbidden Elements are granted this weapon. Only those who master the art of Lost Elements are gifted this. The power of this weapon cannot be comprehended by those on Earth or in Heaven..." continued Raiyen, as something began to form in his hands.
It was a long bow with a handle painted lime green with cloud designs engraved onto it. Both upper and lower parts were light blue and had a jagged motif. The Time Mage pulled back the bowstring and aimed it at Raijin's head.
"For I am the last Time Master. My entire existence is Time itself. This weapon is mine to behold. I draw thee, Aetherial Bow!" yelled Raiyen as the bow fully came into light.
"How in the world are you able to summon that?! Impossible! That weapon can only be from those who have traveled to the Upper Skies!" questioned Raijin, with his legs rooted to the ground.
Green and purple Elemental Energy streams surrounded his arms and concentrated on the middle of the drawn bow, creating a giant arrow. Raiyen took a deep breath and focused on releasing the spell. Though the Mage warned him about using it several times, Raiyen had no choice.
Raijin didn't think that Raiyen would use such a drastic measure against him, so he was mentally unprepared, panicking about which spell to use. But because Raijin was distressed about what to do, the kid chose a terrible spell to counteract with Raiyen's Aetherial Bow.
"I control the Past. I control the Future. I control the Present... These are the jobs of the Three Clockeepers of the Storm. Touch the ticking clock, and the Clockeepers will steal Time from you..." chanted Raijin with a shaky voice.
"Hah! Has the Corrupted Element lowered your intelligence to rock bottom?! Why are you using a Time-based spell against a Time Master?!" yelled Raiyen, with a big smile.
Before launching the next spell, Raiyen fitted the Time Trap onto the tip of his arrow and primed it at Raijin again.
"Activate; Trap Of Tempus!" yelled Raiyen as something clicked within the device.
"First Mystery: Trio Guardians Of Time!" shouted Raijin, unleashing a considerable lightning storm above his head.
"Dosura Star: Gleaming Pulverise!" yelled Raiyen, releasing the arrow at Raijin.
As the arrow got close to Raijin, it morphed into a portal as big as the storm above the kid's head and unleashed a torrent of blue arrows from the Upper Skies. Raijin howled in pain as these arrows were much more painful than anything he's felt before.
The Upper Skies' rules made their weaponry and spell so dignifying and scary. And this Aetherial Bow was no exception, with the Valkyries bestowing their Authority and Judgment onto this particular weapon and its arrows that summons during Dosura Star.
By doing so, the ailments inflicted on the targets from the arrows would be either Death or Alive. It's almost the same as the Valkyries' Heaven's Wheel, harming only those seen as hostile in the user's eyes and inflicting no pain on the ones who are innocent and free of sin.
But then, the child of Storms didn't care as he fired a lightning bolt directly toward Raiyen.
