The Oni growled, glaring back at Merlin, "Get out of my way!"
"Hehehe!" Merlin giggled, spinning her staff with a giant smile before turning it into a broom. "There are no people around here. I can test a few things," She burst out laughing, sitting on her broom and pulling a wand into her hand.
The Oni stared at Merlin, ^Wait, what's this?^
A crystal orb emerged from Merlin's storage and started orbiting her as three stars of light flashed above her head.
^The mana around her. Is pulsing?^ The Oni swung her hand, [Wind Slash]
A blade of compressed air flew toward Merlin with a loud whistle.
Merlin's broom wiggled, growing a leaf. With a crack, the leaf turned into a massive trunk that smacked the wind blade with a blast.
The trunk shifted to resemble a large muscular arm, and the Oni gasped, "What?"
CRACK! CRACK! Another arm grew from Merlin's staff, followed by two legs from the brush. The staff's shaft turned into a torso as Merlin laughed, sitting on the golem's head.
A large titan standing at fifty meters tall in the shape of Arad wearing a hey skirt from the broom's brush.
[Wood Golem creation: TITAN ARAD]
"The hell is that!" The Oni screamed, lifting her hands as the golem swung its first.
SWOSH! SWOSH! SWOSH! They only flew around, dodging the golem's punches like a running mosquito.
"Faster! Faster! ARAD!" Merlin couldn't stop laughing.
CRACK! The golem managed to land a hit, but the Oni blocked it with a barrier.
The golem lunged, kicking the Oni like a ball. She flew in her barrier orb, crashing on the ground.
She lifted he head, seeing the golem falling down at her with a kick.
^I have to ignore him. Hitting her should stop the spell.^ ZON! The Oni teleported right to Merlin's back. "YO! Die," She pointed her hand at her, charging a fireblast.
Merlin turned her head, seeing the flame spiraling in front of her nose.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAA!" She screamed with a scared face.
The Oni smiled, "This is your end..."
Merlin's scream quickly got louder and louder, and the Oni could feel her ears screaming in pain. ^This...^
As Merlin screamed, a blast exploded from her mouth, sending the Oni flying back with her magic.
Merlin's scream turned back into a laugh, "Fall from the sky, I call a hammer of thunder!"
A black cloud formed in the sky, crackling with lightning.
The Oni swung her staff, trying to inscribe a fly spell.
CLAP! Lightning fell from the cloud, striking her.
"More and More!" Merlin clapped her hands, the orb orbiting her flashing with lightning.
CLAP! CLAP! One lightning bolt after the other, the Oni got struck several times before she could start flying normally.
^She's using all three arcane focuses. The broom acts as a staff, empowering her spells. I can't destroy that as it's now taken the shape of the golem. The crystal orb around her increases her accuracy and control over magic while the wand in her greatly enchants her casting speed.^ The Oni pulled a new staff, a black one, and pointed it at Merlin. "How long can you keep that up?"
A long fire lance emerged in front of the Oni's staff, "Primordial fire, the heat of creation!" [Vuur Zonne-as]
The lance rushed at Merlin like a missile, its light illuminating the abyss.
Merlin waved her hand, creating a domed barrier to deflect it.
The Oni smiled, pointing down with her fingers. The lance shifted its direction and hit the Golem in the chest, setting it ablaze.
"Let's start by taking your firepower, shall we?" The Oni laughed.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!" Merlin cried, the golem's head she was sitting on burning beneath her. "My ARAD!"
SWOSH! Suddenly the flames faded and only left vapor rushing out of the golem, and the two wizards stared at the golem, surprised.
"AH!" Merlin gasped, "I forgot, he's made of green wood, that isn't dried yet and is hard to burn."
ZON! The Oni teleported right behind Merlin. She expected her spell to fail, but not for that reason. Anyway, it doesn't change her plans.
SWOSH! She swung her fist at Merlin, trying to use her superior body to knock her out.
Onis average around ten feet in height, and their musculature structure helps support that, making them able to easily beat an untrained human.
Thud! Merlin caught the Oni's wrist, she wasn't an untrained human. CRACKLE! An electric pulse flew from Merlin's hand, zapping the Oni.
As the Oni cried, Merlin followed with a slap to the face, shocking her once again.
The Oni grunted, tanking the hit and swinging a kick at Merlin's face.
With a smile on her face, Merlin ducked beneath the kick, creating a small gravity source in her palm and using it to snap the Oni's wrist she was still holding.
CRACK! CRACK! Merlin followed it with several punches, filling the Oni's body with lightning.
^This woman is martially talented.^ Attempting to use raw power against Merlin fired back worse than she could have anticipated.
[Burning Flash] The Oni ignited her body in a fiery blaze, trying to prevent Merlin from getting closer to her.
"Get her!" Merlin jumped back with a smile and the golem caught the Oni in his hand, trying to crush her.
GAH! She puked blood, feeling her ribs cracking. [DEMON FLASH BURST]
CRACKLE! The Oni's body flashed with magic and Merlin's vision got engulfed in a blinding light.
BOOOOM! The flames rose to the sky as the fire of the hells burst into life, shattering the golem and blasting Merlin away.
"Did she self-destruct?" Merlin gasped, her vision blurry from the sudden flash.
CRACK! She then felt something pierce her chest, "I got you," The Oni giggled, blood dripping from her mouth. "I didn't want to use that as it weakened my mana poll, but it's worth it to take your heart." CRACKE.
She pulled Merlin's heart out, "It's here you die, wizard. You've done well for a human,"
Merlin lifted her shaking hand, putting it inside the gaping hole in her chest. "This is..." She said with a sad face, pulling an empty potion from the wound.
"Huh?" The Oni stared at her, confused. That was the restorative potion she once gave to Alcott.
[MAGICAL SPLASH FLARE]
Merlin released all of her mana out, breaking it and forcing an explosion. A blinding pure white light illuminated the abyss as a shock wave reached the lower layers.
The Oni didn't get a chance to know what happened before her own mana ignited, erasing her with everything else.
