The struggle between teology and iergy tinued. It became increasingly evident that Solene’s power was overwhelming Kintovar’s advanced onry. The miniature p of iergy tore through the silver bster’s beam, disiing it into sparkling fragments.

  With a triumphant grin, Solene directed the miniature poward Kintovar. The swirling energies was growing more inteh each passing moment.

  “It’s over Kintovar. Your teology may have its p the world but iergy transds it all. There’s no escape from the power of the os! I’m sending you straight to the graveyard!”

  The miniature p drew closer, its iergies crag and pulsating with incredible power. Kintovar frantically searched her arsenal for a solution but it seemed there was no escape from the impending onsught of ic magic.

  Unfortunatley for Kintovar, iergy from Solene’s miniature pruck her. There was an overwhelming brightness which came from a deafening explosion. The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the Mystical forest and the very ground seemed to quake.

  When the smoke cleared, the forest was left in a damaged state with trees toppled over the pd debris scattered all over the area. In the epiter of the destru, Kintovar stood, her b coat tattered and singed, her hair disheveled and her body visibly scorched. It was clear that she had taken a potent amount of damage from the ic attack.

  However, despite the injuries she had sustained, Kintovar remaianding, her resolve unbroken.

  Kintovar, despite her injuries and the devastation around her, couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. She assessed the damage she had taken, her mind w like a well-oiled mae even in the midst of this crazy battle.

  “Well, well,” Kintovar muttered to herself. “I really ’t afford to take too many more of those ic attacks. They really do pack a punch don’t they?”

  She gnced around at the disarray in the forest, her analytical mind already calg the potential strategies and termeasures she could employ in the ongoing battle. As the battle between Kintovar and Solene raged on, Kintovar made a calcuted move. She adjusted her sungsses and lifted her pink headphones over her ears. With swift precision, she retrieved small devices from her utility belt and tossed them into the air. The devices hovered momentarily before slowly desdiing an ominous energy.

  Soleched with curiosity, momentarily distracted by the h devices. In that split sed, Kintovar seized the opportunity to switch ons. She brandished two guns, one in each hand and unleashed a rapid barrage of magic bullets. The projectiles streaked towards Solene who quickly raised her ic barrier to shield herself.

  However, Kintovar wasn’t finished. With incredible agility, she dropped one of the guns she had been firing and activated the other. An energy hook extended from the on, ing around one of the h devices. With a swift motion, Kintovar uhe device downward at Solene’s barrier.

  The moment the device made tact with the barrier, a blinding release of magical energy erupted. The strength of the attack was immense sending shockwaves radiating outwards. Trees were uprooted and the very ground seemed to quake uhe sheer power of the attack.

  Solene, caught off guard by Kintovar’s ued maneuver, found herself overwhelmed by the colossal magical energy. Her ic barrier struggled to tain the destructive power unleashed upon it. For a brief moment, it held up with iergy unleashing around it, but then with an ear-shattering rupture, the barrier shattered intments.

  Solene was sent hurtling backward, her body engulfed iermath. She crashed through the enviro leaving a trail of devastation in her wake.

  Kintovar, standing amidst the sm aftermath of her attack, watched as Solene’s body disappeared into the distance. Despite the iy of the battle, she couldn’t help but smirk beh her sungsses.

  “Looks like I found the k in your ic armor, Solene,” Kintovar remarked with a sense of satisfa “This isn’t over yet. “As Becky watched the intetle unfold between Dr. Kintovar and Solene, a sense of awe and respect began to build within her. She couldn’t deny that what Kintovar had just pulled off was nothing short of remarkable. Inwardly, she couldn’t help but think, “That was sick!” Her initial skepticism about teology versus magic was starting to fade away.

  Becky exged a gh Sybil and she could see a simir sense of admiration in her panion’s eyes.

  Solene’s frustration and disbelief were seen as she got up from the ground, her hand ched into a fist. She puhe forest floor a out a string of curses under her breath.

  “This is nonsense,” Soletered under her breath with frustration.

  “Teology ’t e close to magic…What just happened had to be a fluke. There’s no way…no way that stist could have bested me with her gadgets.”

  She ched her fists, her mind rag to find an expnation for what had transpired. “It’s impossible,” she thought, her anger simmering. “Magic is the foundation of our society, the very essence of our existeno mere mae rival its might. I won’t let this defeat shake my faith in magic!”

  Solene rose to her feet, her iergy swirling around her with one hand moving downwards and one positioning upwards.

  Just then, Kintovar’s fident words rang in her ears.

  “That’s checkmate,” Kintovar decred with a sly smile.

  “You made the wrong move by ing back from that dire.”

  Solene’s raised an eyebrow in fusion and frustration.

  “What nonsense is she talking about?” Solehought, “No. It doesn’t matter. I won’t be defeated so easily. I’ll show her the true power of my magic!”

  Solene prepared to unleash her most powerful spell, she decred fidently, “I don’t know what you’re babbling about Kintovar, but ohing is clear: it’s checkmate alright... Checkmate for you!”

  With extreme focus, Solene directed her remaining miniature poward the ground, right at Kintovar’s feet. As the p made tact with the earth, a brilliant dispy of iergy erupted around her.

  “STELLAR STELLATION!”

  From the ground iargeted area, tless stars of the os began to emerge, following a radiant beam. These celestial bodies asded to the sky, f a mesmerizing steltion. The power of the stars, harnessed by Solene’s magic, surged with incredible energy.

  The entire area was engulfed in a i and the damage it caused was catastrophic. The ground shook, trees were uprooted uhe might of the celestial onsught.

  Soleched with satisfa and anticipation, believing that this devastating spell would bring ao Kintovar’s defiand for all.

  Becky and Sybil, from their view, watched in shock as Solene unleashed her devastating ‘Stelr steltion’ spell. The power of the ic stars surged, creating a catastrophi of energy that seemed unstoppable.

  “No way... It’s all over. That attack’s far too powerful! Shit! Kintovar is going to…!”

  They could see Kintovar’s body floating amidst the turmoil and it was clear that she was taking a tremendous amount of damage. It seemed as though nothing could withstand the might of Solene’s extreme magic.

  But as the celestial sted on, there was something peculiar about Kintovar’s demeanor. Despite the relentless assault, she maintained a calm and calg look.

  The objects Kintovar had pced in the sky were set off by the strength of Solene’s attack. The forest was illuminated by blinding forces as explosive waves rocked the area.

  Solene’s satisfa was evident. She began ughing sinisterly while she spoke, “Kintovar is dead and gone. In the end, Magic reigns supreme. Rest in pieces, Kintov—?”

  As she uttered those words, her satisfa turo fusion. In the midst of the explosive smoke, Solene saw Kintovar and then she saw one unscathed holding the formidable BG-356, standing behind her. It erplexing sight “H-How d—“Kintovar stood behind Solene. She taunted her with a smug fidence. “You thought you could outsmart a brilliant mind like me? I already told you…that’s ‘checkmate.’”

  The BG-356 in Kintovar’s hands underwent a transformation, its appearance being even more formidable. With a surge of power, it unleashed a massive beam of energy that enveloped Solehe once-fident mage screamed out in pain as the energy ed her. Only a scorch mark on the ground remained where she had oood.

  The Mystical forest fell into an eerie silence more, the battle cluded with Kintovar emerging victorious.

  Becky’s surprise at Kintovar’s victory was evident as she roughly asked Sybil, “D-Did that stist just defeat that mage?!”

  She couldn’t help but shake Sybil in her excitement but her friend’s response brought a shy request. “Yes, she did,” Sybil replied, “but please…please stop shaking me, Becky.”

  Kintovar, with a smoky and slightly damaged BG-356 in hand, couldn’t help but express her satisfa. She patted the oly and said, “Another win for you, my baby.” With a touch of etricity, she even kissed the BG-356 in gratitude for its performan the battle.

  Becky and Sybil made their way over to her. For a moment, the two of them just stared at Kintovar with smiles on their faces.

  Kintovar looked at Becky and Sybil and said, “Hey, what the devil are you two waiting for? It’s time to elimihe Maractet to it!”

  As the magical barrier around the Maractor dissipated with Solene’s defeat, Sybil prepared to unleash a powerful ssh to destroy it. However, before she could act, Becky extended her hand and fidently decred, “Hey, I’ve got this!”

  Becky swung her massive hammer with all her might, smashing it down onto the Maractor. The device shattered into pieces and a surge of magic flew up in the sky. Kintovar immediately shouted, “Get back quickly!”

  The three of them retreated hurriedly as the Maractor erupted in a massive bst, sending shockwaves through the Mystical forest. The ferocity from the impact sent debris flying in all dires but they mao escape the worst of it, sheltered by the trees and their distance from the epiter. The Maractor was no more and the threat it posed had been eliminated.

  Kintovar, her b coat still tattered and scorched from the battle, looked at Becky and Sybil with a newfound sense of respect. “Good work, both of you,” she said, her tone carrying genuine appreciation. “I suppose I trust you two after all, or at least for now.”

  Becky respoo Kintovar, “Yeah, that hammer did the trick but you know, I’m still not too happy about getting stuck with it. That sword of Sybil’s looked way cooler!”

  Kintovar replied firmly, “Becky, you’ll have to deal with it. I provided you both with the best ons that match your level of affinity. Trust me; they’re desig out your full potential. You’ll get the hang of that hammer and before you know it, you’ll be smashing through barriers like a pro.”

  Kintovar couldn’t tain her excitement as she excimed, “Just one more to go and we’ll have dealt a signifit blow to their magical infrastructure! Risebelle, Roselle, Runebelle, you’ve all been fantastic! Wonderful! Extravagant!” She twirled around, singing praises to her creations.

  Her enthusiasm was let loose and her pliments flowed freely. Becky and Sybil exged bewildered gnces, unsure of how to react to Kintovar’s sudden burst of excitement.

  Kintovar’s suddenly stopped and looked serious. Her ge in demeanor caught Becky and Sybil’s attention. They listened ily as she spoke, “This st Maractor should be the toughest one my creations will have to deal with. I just hope they remember the secret phrase I told them about.”

  Becky and Sybil exged curious looks, w about the mysterious phrase Kintovar had mentioned.

  “By now, the headmaster ’t be happy with the way things are going for the Magical Academy. Our as have certainly disrupted their pns. They must be growing increasingly desperate to protect their remaining Maractor, so I tell you both now. Get yourselves excited for this ohis will be the Final battle against the Academy!”
