<div class="floatright">(https://i.postimg.cc/tgWpLs6z/Portrait_-_Code_Sariel.png)</div><strong>Name</strong>Melisa vi Lumieria (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=292821.msg14372682#msg14372682)<br/><strong>Time/ day</strong>Grand Magic Game, Preliminary round<br/><strong>Tagging</strong>Everyone. Specifically Arawn, Laeran and Saricia<br/><strong>Location </strong>Colloseum<br/><hr/><br/>Melisa was still “flying” around inside the water, her eyes darting around as if she was looking for something. She also noticed that as the clock went ever closer into the end of the round, the number of competitors was greatly reduced. Most of them had likely decided not to go back under the water after they took a breath outside.<br/><br/>Further observation actually revealed that there were only 2 other competitors left who were actively aiming for her anymore: that woman who fired that lightning thing toward her and that mermaid woman who was still chasing her with sonic attack.<br/><br/>Still, her plan need for the two tailing her to be distracted… even just momentarily. Just as she thought about it, she spot a woman with long dark hair smacked the former right on the face, sending the electric woman crashing to the floor. With a grin she couldn’t help but inwardly thanked the woman,<br/><br/>‘Thank you, Rune-neechan… That’s one down…’<br/><br/>Actually, what Rune did fitted her plan just fine… in fact, she had a bone to pick with the mermaid lady… From the corner of her eyes, Melisa spied the clock outside was approaching the last minute and she turned her head to glare at the half-fish woman.<br/><br/>‘Small fry…? I’ll show her the power of a “small fry”…’<br/><br/>Suddenly, she noticed several familiar harpoon-like arrows rushed at the mermaid woman, forcing her to make effort to pull the break on her pursue. Just as the woman stopped, a pair of blades and another spear forced her to take evasion maneuvers. Finally, a streak of light striked the woman right on her tail, and temporarily stunned her.<br/><br/>"Melisa! There are few rings hidden in some of the barrels. Perhaps you should try to open some!"<br/><br/>Melisa smiled at her onii-chans and nodded at them. They had come through as she needed them to…<br/><br/>‘NOW!!’<br/><br/>In an instant, Melisa changed her flight direction straight upward as if she was trying to pierce the heaven itself. Within seconds, she had burst through the water surface yet she kept climbing until she was so high that she was little more than a speck to the spectators.<br/><br/>Without warning, the silver-haired mage turned around and began flying straight back downward. As the gravity helped her to accelerate without limit, even the air itself was creating friction over her barrier, creating a trail of white behind her as if she had turned into a shooting star.<br/><br/>Once she was several hundred of meters above the collosseum, Melisa tapped her dress up crystal one more time as she called out,<br/><br/>“ANGEL WINGS FULL BURST!! MODE – VALKYRIE!!”<br/><br/>Instantly, her dress was once again remade. The new dress was obviously much more elaborate than the previous ones, several accessories were also included. Finally, several more pairs wings of light appeared on her back, Her new appearance gave everyone the impression of an archangel attacking from heaven. With her additional wings giving her even further boost,  Melisa raised the speed of her downward charge another notch higher, even creating a sonic boom that shook the entire arena.<br/><br/>With her momentum, Melisa’s speed didn’t even slow down as she charged straight back into the water. The destination of her charge though was obvious, including to her target who was still stunned and unable to move as she looked at the Melisa’s incoming wild charge with wide fearful eyes.<br/><br/>Melisa’s charge smashed directly toward the woman’s bosom, barrier and all, before the full momentum dragged her straight down to the collosseum floor against her will. The two crashed toward the stone floor, creating an incredible explosion that threw up the rocks and dust, obscuring them from sight.<br/><br/>Before the dust settled back through, slowed down by the fact they are underwater, Melisa emerged from it as she flew upward without her barrier. This time, she stopped right in the middle of the water arena before she spread out her arms,<br/><br/>“Removing Stops… Rapid Fire… HOLY ARROW – INDISCRIMINATE SHOOTING!!!”<br/><br/>Melisa spun her body as she begun to shoot hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands even, of arrows of light all over the arena. However, despite her call of “indiscriminate shooting”, each one of the arrows were actually properly aimed as every single one of them hid the point rings one after another, big number, small number, all of them except for the minuses.<br/><br/>In fact, during her “chase”, Melisa had purposely “ran around” the arena in what appeared to be random but in actuality, she had remembered the position of every single remaining point rings even where they had regenerated. Her memory then guided her arrows to hit every single rings accurately, even the hidden ones.<br/><br/>Sure enough, the guild’s point on the board began to accumulate rapidly nonstop. In fact, it was accumulating so fast that the numbers couldn’t be discerned, only that the guild name was rising through the board, replacing another guild’s name one by one. From 26th it soon reach the top 20… then top 15… 10….<br/><br/><br/>As Melisa continued firing her arrows, she was exhausted beyond belief, her magic was depleting at insane rate and her head was pounding as if someone had installed a drum inside it but inwardly, she calmly took a mental countdown,<br/><br/>’10 seconds… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… 0!!’<br/><br/>Finally, the water inside the arena disappeared altogether and with it, the point rings. Right on time, Melisa fired her last arrow and hit the last 50 point ring before she gently floated back to the floor in a gentle spin. Once her feet were firmly on the ground, she gave one last twirl as she turned her eyes toward the guild scoreboard, sure enough the number still continued to accumulate as the guild name continued to rise.<br/><br/>Finally, the number accumulation began to slow down but the guild name had reached the top 5 rank… 4… 3… 2… everyone held their breath as the number continued to spin though much slower than ever and then… The name of the guild which had been at the first place since the game began with the number “915” flickered and disappeared altogether before it appeared at the second rank… in its place was “Peryton” with the score “963”.<br/><br/>The entire colloseum went completely silent before it suddenly exploded with cheer. Melisa calmly turned toward Alvis who was still buried in the crater and heavily injured though now with normal human appearance. She calmly spoke to the woman,<br/><br/>“This is Peryton… stick that to your head.”
