Chapter 9: Saved.

Jamnia's Point of view.

"Gizelle, don't you dare." Aliah muttered as Gizelle picked up the map that was supposed to be hers.

I felt the tension between the two of them, I stopped on my tracks. I don't have a chance against Gizelle, one wrong mistake I'd be disappearing in thin air.

"Oh, scary. Someone as beautiful I am can't simply follow you, Austin just doesn't have a choice but to team up with a bunch of weirdos like you." She said smiling, her bitchy face irritates me.

"b***h!"

Aliah screamed her lungs out as she gestured both her hands towards Gizelle.

A ray of sunlight approached Gizelle from above but in my suprise it refracted cutting down the tree near us. Aliah casted continues attacks but it was futile every single of one it couldn't hit Gizelle.

"Why does it have to be Gizelle?!"

Gizelle stood there smirking knowing she had the upper hand, she's definitely strong. Something is protecting her from all of Aliahs's attack but I can seem to pinpoint it.

"Weakling." She paused looking at us lowly. "Mirror Magic: Shattered Pieces."

I gasped as hundreds of shattered pieces of glass conjured before her. In a millisecond all of it bursted towards us, I eventually ran towards Aliah. With my body aching in pain I successfully brought her to a large tree seeking for cover. Both of us acquired cuts and was bleeding, good thing it wasn't critical our wounds aren't that deep. Our health points depleted but mines is already at it's peak but I still want to survive.

"Jamnia your HP..." She said with worry, I was scouting the place.

That Gizelle not only is good at fighting but in hiding aswell, we can't find her. The place was suddenly eeriely silent, shattered pieces of glass and blood stains were noticable.

"I'm fine but we need to get out of here."

"I have an idea, that Gizelle will get what a b***h like her deserves." Aliah said making the usual smiley expression she makes. "Gate of thee, Golden Bull, I unlock thee Taurus."

The place was covered in blinding light, a bull like human appeared right in front of us. I was in awe, a Minotaur is in front of me right now it's a handsomer version actually. It had a lewd expression in his human face, similar to Krezza. It's carrying a gigantic axe with both his hands like it was nothing.

"My loves Master Aliah! Who dare to hurt you?! They'll have a taste of my might ax- you look gorgeous Miss!" The worried look in his face faded upon seeing me, I gave him uncertain smile.

"Would you behave and stop God Taurus, were in a tight situation. Gizelle is in the area, she's going to kill us. Be useful and protect us!" 

"Gizelle? I can't simply hurt such beautiful being, let's just surrender." The peculiar cow guy said dreamily, I almost laughed looking at him.

"Do you want some beating Taurus?!" Her furious eyes and intimidating smile was enough to make Taurus act his age. "Let's go Jamnia, God Taurus can handle this."

I nodded as I aided Aliah, she couldn't stand properly with her wounds. Slowly but surely we walked around the place to look for a safe place to hide. Taurus was left behind scouting the place and acting as a decoy to help us escape. Along the way Aliah became harder to carry but I endured the hardship, it was all for our group.

"Where do you think you weakshits going?! Bow down to your beautiful Queen." A certain boastful voice echoed around the place making us stop, it was Gizelle appearing in thin air with her arrogant smile.

"Gizelle my loves!" Taurus shouted like the fan girl he is.

He ran faster that the speed of light forgetting he task he was asked to do. The peculiar cow guy stopped as if a invisible forcefield is surrounding Gizelle. Hopelessness was in Aliah eyes before signalling that we should run.

"Ugh, I hate this perverted cow! Clim my one and only will I only be shattered, get away from me!" She disgustedly said as Taurus stood before her trying to break through the forceshield. "Mirror Magic: Fantasized Image."

A peculiar mirror appeared right in front of Taurus, it showed his reflection. Seconds later Taurus's reflection suddenly moved and jumped out the mirror. No one anticipated that it could ever uccor, it's like our eyes are deceiving us. Both the perverted grass eating mamal stared at each other in amusement.

"Isn't that a sight for sore eyes?" Aliah exclaimed showing disgust after seeing two Tauruses, we both had the time to laugh at a time like this.

"Both of you laugh lowly like the peasants you are. Let's see how my Taurus deals with yours Aliah."

Gizelle's copy of Taurus suddenly swung the axe it was holding, showing no mercy to the original. We couldn't do anything but watch waiting for the perfect timing to run. Both didn't hold back, their axes clashed crazily meters away we could feel the shockwaves coming from it.

"God Taurus! Don't you dare lose to that impostor, being helpful won't hurt you!"

"Calm down Aliah, we can survive this."

"I wish I can Jamnia, I used to think all God and Goddesses were to mighty and stuff but God Taurus just doesn't have that characteristics! We're gonna dieeeee!"

"I'll end both of you, be thankful that you were killed beautifully." Both of us gasped as Gizelle surprisingly was infront of us. I immediately held Aliah's hand tighter, ready to run anytime.

"Helio Magic: Radiant Light."

Aliah casted as her hands shined brightly, Gizelle shriek as her eyes were blinded by the lights. We used that opportunity to escape, running as fast as we can away from the battlefield.

"Ugly peasants! Mirror Magic: Shattered Pieces." Like earlier hundreds of shattered pieces of glass conjured before us enough to eliminate us from the game.

We stopped, anticipating how we can save ourselves but it seems that it was our last breath. I smiled at Aliah hinting to give up, she did the same. I scanned the area as I felt something passed through me a second ago.

A sound of a glass shattering opened our eyes, the mirror like shield protecting Gizelle shattered. Aliah and I smiled upon seeing Austin, his hands bleed but it was like nothing to him. Aliah doesn't seem to be worried as I am in Austin's bleeding hand. He had that emotionless face on the otherhand Gizelle looked troubled our how the situations might turn out.

"It's unlikely for a cute girl as yourself killing someone."

"Bunch of peasants teaming up to defeat a gorgeous Queen like me is disgraceful."

"Thank goodness your here Austin!" Aliah jumped high as a cheerleader not minding her wounds, this girl is crazy like the celestial spirit she owns.

"Austin's hand..." I said in shock, it's slowly healing itself.

"Don't worry, Austin can handle by himself. His Enhance Magic will be enough to defeat that arrogant Gizelle. Calling him overpowered won't be enough, wehe can enhance five things in his body at same time. Enhance Agility, Senses, Regeneration, Strength, name it." She said and sat comfortably like nothing serious is happening.

"Even with his fast regeneration he can still pain right?" I asked in curiosity, seeing how Austin reacted the shards was nothing to him.

"Actually, he doesn't feel any pain. His power can numb himself and heal at the same time. It's like his immortal, he can act recklessly in any way he want."

"Legit?!"

"Yaaaas, can't wait to see Gizelle disappearing in thin air as she cries." She muttered laughing like a crazy person.

"Wannabe hero aren't ya? Well I hope you thought of that when you almost got us killed! What a great leader?" Gizelle said in a bitchy tone, Austin remained silent.

It rained shattered pieces of glass, it was like some kind of bullet piercing through trees along it's way. Austin swiftly evaded all those with his incredible speed, Gizelle then used her mirrors for her to float in mid-air standing in a strong mirror. With that Austin can't reach her as she continues to rain shattered pieces of glass. Austin uprooted trees around him, throwing it directly to Gizelle's direction. Austin wasn't able to evade all of it but he was able to smile, Austin's witty brain used the trees as a distraction and used the trees in mid-air for him to reach Gizelle.

My eyes can't see how fast Austin did it but because of my photographic memory pop I can process his movements afterwards. Gizelle couldn't firmly stand as she hit the ground, she obtained multiple cuts and bleed. Losing 3/4 of her health points she gave up and layed before the ground.

"Let me." Aliah ended her with no hesitation using a stream of sunlight.

Gizelle disappeared in thin air but the scrolls she kept captive was left on the ground.

"Are you guys fine?" Austin asked upon getting the two maps.

"No."

"How about you, Jamnia? Are you hurt?" Again with that same hypnotic smile he gave me in the infirmary made me froze.

"A-ah, yes?"

"That Gizelle really thinks she could easily eliminate us, look at her now!"

"How many maps have you gathered?"

"A lot but it's invisible." Aliah sarcastically replied.

"It's fine, since I'm a great leader." He said in a sarcastical way while smiling. "I'll lead us to victory!"

Austin gathered four maps which became six because of Gizelle's map, he did something to combine the six scrolls into one. The map showed us a certain location, we immediately scanned the map.

"That location is too far for us." Aliah said pointing out the x-mark and sighed. "Jamnia and I still has injuries, I really wish I had the ability to instantly heal wounds like you!"

"Let's just rest for a while, we'll head north later." Austin suggested and we happily agreed.

We separately found places for ourselves to rest, even Austin is tired because of what happened. As we tried our best to sleep in the cold ground, certain thoughts came to my mind. I tried to look at the brighter side of what happened earlier. I almost died two times earlier, lucky me.
