'No, everything's not hopeless yet!!' Alexander growled in his mind, the darkness filling his thoughts dissipating as soon as it came. While his physical body had been sapped of strength, but his aura was unaffected by this mysterious anaesthetic trudging down his body, numbing his senses.
Ice Sculpture!!
A powerful and fast acting spell and one of his strongest was released, chant-less so that he would not give his opponent anytime to escape.
Upon the activation of this spell, the woman masked as a man was surprised to find her left hand, the one which sat horrifyingly through Alexander's stomach, was suddenly pricked by a deep coldness. Her cold eyes darted downwards and dilated at the sight of a thick layer of ice was beginning to from the point of contact of herself and Alexander and was expanding across her arm at a terrifying pace.
'Heheh, what a quick reaction!' The woman praised internally as a dark smirk curled her lips into a cruel and malicious look. The woman looked on with a stern gaze as she noticed that not only was her hand being encased in this thick ice, but her arm was being frozen in place, making it difficult for her to pull her arm out, lest she didn't want to pull her own arm off completely. This ice was that powerful, and she instinctively knew that her fire element would be too weak to effect the ice enshrouding her. She could only praise the man that he lived up to his moniker of the 'Frigid Wolf'.
Behind Alexander, the ice had fully enraptured her hand and was quickly crawling up the rest of her hand as the seconds passed at this silent and tense moment. Finally, the elderly woman's mouth opens as she begins to sing out in a melodious chant as she preps a spell. Upon completion of the chant however, nothing happened.
'Oh...' She blurted in realisation as her smirk turns darker. "This rune formation you've planted doesn't only prevent the formation of Void Portals, but Space magic as well. You must have really payed a good price for that Magical Item, huh?"
Alexander was about to respond when he suddenly found the voice speaking to him familiar, preventing him from speaking back with any snarky comments. The reason for this familiarity alludes him however and he dares not get to lost in thought at this moment, eyes peeled for the woman's next actions.
"Oh well." Despite finding herself unable to escape from the incoming ice shrouding her body, the disguised woman spoke in almost a casual manner in her conclusion to this complex conundrum.
Slice!
Alexander's eyes opened wide in shock at the sight before him as a splatter of crimson splashed his cheek and stained a portion of his scholarly glasses. His eyes looked in disbelief as the woman's hand that was previously holding his spear at bay had suddenly rose and chopped downwards, her fingers straightened out like the edge of a knife as she shockingly and determinedly cut off her own hand, cutting off the enrapturing ice at the source!
'How rash and decisive.' For a powerful Magician, gathering the means to recover one's limbs was actually possible. But their would definitely be a huge price, one that was even frightening for a Sky Magician. It would also require the attention of a highly skilled doctor at the Sky Magician Realm. To so decisively cut off one's hand, this person was either rash in her thinking or confident in a quick recovery.
Alexander knew he could not falter against such a foe for even a second, one who could so easily trade their own limb at a moment's notice was definitely a frightening opponent. It was a good thing Alexander usually faced people with such a mentality, or he may have slipped up when the woman suddenly attacked with her remaining hand, its pointed end stabbing at his face like a sharpened dagger!
'...From my previous experience, I cannot underestimate the piercing power of this attack, having suffered greatly from it before... Only, no barrier I know could be erected in time to stop this attack.' Then the only option was avoidance!
Inhaling a deep breath, Alexander's aura began to burst out of his Inner Haven at an incredible rate, spreading throughout his body and enhancing his various muscles and tendons, powering his body into its normal state as if his aura were wires controlling his body like a puppet.
While primitive, this fast-acting action worked in this moment as he swerved his head and leapt backwards with nimble movements that matched his opponent. Avoiding the brunt of the woman's blade like fingers, he couldn't avoid the sharp and piercing aftereffect of the strike that shot out like a bullet, nipping at his cheek before whistling into the distance.
With his enhanced senses, Alexander could see this small dagger of wind pierce and cut through and apart the thick bodies of the Rising Earth Thistle bodies for a whole mile before finally dissipating into nothingness. This attack of hers was truly a sharp and deadly Magical Art.
Having created some distance between himself and her, Alexander finally took a chance to take a good breather, only to be surprised to find that the anaesthetic in his body had already begun to effect once more. In several minutes, he predicted that he would return to that sluggish state of before...
'Wait... Adept in drugs and isn't afraid of chopping her limbs off at a moment's notice... Is she a Healer?!' Alexander pondered, his brow furrowing in his contemplation. Healer Magician's were people who dealt in the Magic of medicine and health, creator of potions and drugs, and Magician's of regeneration and rejuvenation magic. Any Magic dealing with the betterment of a person's physical health would be called under the generic term of a healer.
While usually Healer Magician's were inherently weaker than Magician's who trained in the art's of combat, Healer's couldn't be looked down upon either due to their insidious means and capabilities. Especially one who has reached the heights of a Sky Magician like the woman before him, if his hypothesis were to be proven true.
'The battle's not over yet though!' Alexander determined, gripping Crying Night in his hand and en-capturing its length under a sturdy hold under his armpit, its blade pointing valiantly at his foe.
A bright, light blue smoke began to flow steadily from his mouth as his veins popped and the temperature around him in a several dozen meter radius plummeted into a frigid coldness, shards of ice forming at his gallant feet.
