I Shall Evolve Everything

I dodged around, the spears of fire exploding all around me. Holes of fire and dust appeared as they impacted the ground.

Minutes passed by as I continually dodged everything sent at me, though when I looked back at both Aiof and Delta none of the explosions were remotely near them.

I didn't know if that was because I hadn't neared them since the beginning or if it was just that they weren't being targeted however either way I continued to dodge. Even white thoughts in my mind other than dodging I could still easily sidestep the explosions.

However this had given me a theory, maybe it wasn't that it targeted things but that it detected motion and attacked anything that moved.

To test that theory I flicked Memoria to the side and took a chunk of the wall into my hand. I then infused it with my own aether and sent it flying towards the ceiling.

I watched with bated breath, idly I dodged the spears that came towards me.

Nothing happened. It was a bust. It seemed that it was just locked into me.

"Shit" I yelled out loud, a particularly fast spear was sent towards me. Fast enough that I barely had any time to react. Though it wasn't too fast for me. I was still able to get out of the impact zone.

cough cough

I coughed the dust that had gotten into my lungs out and continued dodging, my head gazed up to the ceiling as I tried to find what was sending these spears of flame.

It was starting to get dangerous, before it was just an annoyance that I was slightly curious about but now it seemed to be speeding up.

Each and every spear was sent with more and more force before it plateaued, but even that plateau was faster than I was naturally.

Now that it had turned dangerous I now focused more on finding it than I did on just dodging.

I watched, the angle and flow of aether going into the spears and using that calculated where they were being generated.

I knew it was on the ceiling but it was so erratic in its use of aether that I didn't know where it was.

It was then that a thought flew towards me, a lightbulb lighting in my head. It was not that there was one but there were multiple.

Now that that thought was in my head I could start again. If I disregarded all of the chaotic flows and focused on the ones that were uniform then…

'There' I though to myself while looking up to the ceiling where four generators were placed. They were inconspicuous, barely a blip in the ceiling but now that I knew where they were I could destroy them.

I dodged and dodged however this time I wasn't blindly dodging, I had an objective and slowly I grew closer to it.

Finally after a whole minute or so of dodging and hacking through the spear I had made it below one of the generators.

Once I destroy this one everything would get easier.

…

I had pivoted my foot and body into a position that would allow me to throw Memoria into the air, the rest would follow.

Flames coalesced to try and stop the path of Memoria but it could not be stopped, every flame that touched it was pierced through, the aether within absorbed by the spear.

BANG

It reached the top of the ceiling a magnificent explosion of flames and aether shaking the walls and ceiling of the castle.

I jumped up and leaped for my spear, however before I could even reach halfway up I had to maneuver in the air with a barrier as a spear of flame twice as strong as the previous one flew passed me and destroyed the wall it impacted against. No dust remained.

I jumped off the platform as another spear came after me, at this point dodging both in the air and on the barriers had taken up all of my focus. However that didn't mean I didn't notice when Memoria had mysteriously appeared back in my hand.

I didn't complain though, instead I was thankful. With Memoria by my side I could weather this storm.

I prepared myself, a stance taken as I leaped from barrier to barrier getting ever closer to the next generator.

Every second that I wasted on the platforms was another second that the spears had to get closer to me. That wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for their speed.

Even if it had plateaued it was still almost as fast as me.

BOOM

The sound of a gun firing echoed through the room as I looked back towards Aoif And Delta.

I had expected for Delta to be the one to have shot the gin but it wasn't. It was Aoif, a smile on her lips as she reloaded the rifle that she had been given.

Though immediately after she had fired that shot and was in the middle of reloading a spear of fire was fired at her. It had forced her to dodge but the thing was that it was twice as fast as the ones that I had been dodging.

I grit my teeth and with as much aether that I could use under this suppression, launched myself towards Aoif.

I passed by the spear of flame and took a swipe at it with Memoria but it suddenly dodged. It was as if it had intelligence but even when I activated my shared sight I couldn't see anything resembling intelligence in it.

I couldn't dwell on that any longer though as soon after it sped up again. Though it wasn't targeting Aoif any longer, no it targeted me.

A barrier appeared in front of me and I launched off it, back flipping so that my spear had a chance to pierce through it.

CLANG

The spears had collided but nothing came of it.

Even more, it had actually gotten through my defenses and was closing in on my eye.
