"what's happening?" Serena asked as she stared at the cube which was suddenly formed.
"I-I'm not sure, I can't see it from here, and my vision is getting blurry..."
"Isn't that John's dark cube thingy?"
"Yeah... Didn't Master say something about him not being able to use the dark element... unless he's in the 'possessed state'?"
"John said he wouldn't use it... So it's probably Master Sylvia."
"That makes sense... The spell has been completed for a while now... But I've already ran out of magic power on my staff... I don't know for how much longer..."
"Keep going for just a little longer, we must do it..."
The two girls were already past their limit, but they knew that if they gave up now, it would be the end.
Despite their blurred vision, they could see light coming out of the cube.
"What's happening...?" Ariel asked.
-------------------------
Her appearance became more angelic, two pure white feathery wings came out of her back, she levelled up again.
[Damn it!]
John didn't want to give her time to heal up, but if she kept getting stronger, he didn't know what to expect.
Seeing this, John braced himself, and placed his arm over the area where it had been cut off of. Slowly, steam started to come out of the area and the arm reconnected itself to the area it had originally been torn out of.
As John began to regain sensation over it, he slowly opened and closed the hand to see whether or not it was working as it should. There was a bit of a delay but it was good enough.
The angel wasn't doing anything, so it most likely had a period of cool-down after growing its wings, seeing this, John picked up his dagger entering his attack stance.
Suddenly, the angel's eye began to glow brighter and she vanished, or so it seemed.
John shadow-stepped a meter to the side, barely avoiding the attack in the process. Not even half a second later, she appeared beside him with her spear stretched out in the motion of a thrust.
Seeing as how she missed, she quickly turned to John to attack again, but this time he had no plans to shadow-step away.
He entered the counter stance and waited for her to attack. She covered a distance of 100 feet in less than a second, it was obvious her speed had increased once again after levelling, but it was fine.
Even with her speed increased, John could see her movements.
She leapt at him once again and thrust her spear straight at his head. To this, John simply tilted his head to the side before sending a kick straight at the side of her head.
But she out-sped him as she ducked and spun her spear with the head going straight at John's.
John was about to fall to his back but before he could fully fall, the girl took advantage of this opportunity and tightly gripped on to the spear before getting up and thrust it down on to John's stomach.
As it landed on to his skin, John disappeared and reappeared above her, leaving a trace of darkness behind.
But without even looking back, as if she had predicted that, the girl sent the back of the spear back up.
*Stab*
John shadow-stepped away with a stab wound on his chest, it hadn't pierced all the way through as he managed to step back in time.
He hadn't expected for there to be a hidden blade at the back of the spear.
Blood was dripping off the small hole on his chest, but it began to heal up, as steam was emitted from the wound.
At the same time, the girl noticed that cut healing on her arm. It was a cut that she got the moment she stabbed John.
Seeing this, she leapt towards John and clashed with him once more.
Left, right, up, every direction or area which showed an opening, John aimed for it, but he was too slow, not a single cut, he couldn't even land a single cut on her.
He was on the receiving end and being pushed back, every few seconds a new cut would form as he'd avoid the thrusts by using every portion of his body and flexibility due to the lack of heavy armour to an advantage.
If not for that, or for the fact that John was in the 'possessed state' he'd be dead.
He was at a great disadvantage, not only in speed but in strength, seeing this, John shadow-stepped back to collect his thoughts but she didn't let him.
She'd chase right after the moment he'd shadow-step, and he couldn't go too far because Serena and Ariel were also in the arena.
He had no other choice but to play his trump card.
As she spun her spear, John ducked to avoid it and cast it.

"Verum Tenebris Fulgurationem" Translation: True Dark Lightning Flash.
A dark electric spark began to pass around John's body before his hair rose and spiked up, his body now highlighted by a dark lightning aura.
He didn't feel any strain or pain in his muscles, and he was so focused that circulating the lightning around his body felt like breathing.
He could feel it, the spell had evolved.
As the spear passed right above his head, John sent a kick straight at her arm. She moved to dodge but wasn't fast enough.
As soon as John's leg reached her arm, rather than kicking it, he wrapped it around her arm. To counter this, she threw her spear over to the other arm, but the time it took for her to get her other arm ready was more than enough for John.
