Will/Nicole

"What!" Will shouted. "Are you -- what?"

Nicole smirked.

"Berserker. Execute."

The armor-clad woman materialized once more, blade already drawn. She lunged forward to execute Avery, but her strike was stopped by the appearance of a flickering golden cord, which had wrapped itself around the edge of her blade. It seemed to extend upwards infinitely, and there was no indication at all of where it was fixed -- the cord was anchored to the very sky, or whatever sky really existed in this maze.

"Not so fast." Hypatia declared. "I'd thought something was off, earlier. Possession magic? Necromancy? I sense a bit of both, but don't see how that would give a magus access to another's servant. It is irrelevant. Whoever you are, command your servant to stand down, or you will be destroyed."

Nicole merely smiled. "Bold words, caster. Berserker, eliminate her first."

The golden cord morphed into a golden serpent, binding Berserker's blade tightly. It poison to attack the rogue servant with deadly poison. Berserker merely jerked her arm to the side, evaporating it into dust.

Hypatia winced. Back in her day, there hadn't been a magus on earth capable of defeating that spell -- was this Berserker really so powerful?

"You! Avery! Get back here; this is a battle to which you cannot contribute."
