Gina reflected on her love for Jason and felt validated by King Farlow's praise for her honorable actions before resting under his watch. The next morning, they ventured deeper into the forest, Gina tracking potent Spirit Energy to the Valkan's silent territory near the Moon Dew Fruit trees. The ancient Titan Rank Valkan ambushed them with ferocious wind claws, forcing Gina to save Farlow and engage in a brutal clash of gales, blades, and targeted Spirit Energy as Farlow countered fiercely.

Valkan's control over both Sagehood and Spirit Arts completely nullified Farlow's edge! Fortunately, Farlow wasn't battling alone!

WOOSH!

Abruptly, a figure emerged from the forest's far side, Gina yanking her hand overhead as a massive wind-blade formed! Locked in another swipe at Farlow, the Valkan granted Gina precious seconds before it could pivot her way, perfect for landing a severe blow! Yet the winds twisted suddenly, Farlow gasping as the beast's focus locked onto Gina!

"Gina, watch out!"

Farlow detected the shift first, and by the instant Gina grasped the peril, death loomed over her! Midway through clawing at Farlow, the Valkan spotted her blind-spot ambush and dissolved into a wind gust! It rematerialized beside Gina, paw cocked back, her thoughts racing wildly as she scrapped her strike and conjured a protective wind orb!

SLASH!

The claw connected solidly this time, hurling Gina groundward like a missile!

BOOM!!

The impact rattled the whole forest, Gina grunting softly as she sprang up and darted away!

BOOM!

Instantly after, the Valkan smashed into her prior spot, talons gouging a deep gash in the soil to shred her! Farlow burst in from the flank, blasting furious winds to repel it, giving Gina a breath to recover! She knew the Valkan's power, but its speed stunned her. Some technique, or did it surf the winds to materialize so fast? Gina eyed it anew, watching it accelerate while striking Farlow from countless spots! From the left it lunged, blocked by his wind shield; it flickered away, reappearing behind for another try, but Farlow rolled clear just in time, whirling to unleash a wind blade!

SLASH!

Yet the Valkan had vanished already, materializing behind to body-slam Farlow flying! He crashed into a tree trunk, and Gina charged as the beast parted its jaws, unveiling inner blue glow! A swirling blue energy vortex built at its maw, Farlow's eyes bulging as the Valkan abruptly fired!

BOOM!

Slam!

Right as the Valkan launched its blast, Gina hammered its flank with a mighty wind gust, veering the shot off-target; Farlow stared wide-eyed while the beam obliterated the forest next to him!

TWOOONNN!!!!

Over a thousand trees charred to ash instantly, a huge V-shaped scar etched into the earth! The Valkan spun on Gina with an enraged roar, forcing her to evade its swipe! She vaulted back, Sage powers batting away incoming wind blades, then ducked as Farlow surged in to seize control anew! No more restraint—Farlow unsheathed the sword on his back and rocketed toward the Valkan!

Gina stared at Farlow's sword in shock! An ornate silver blade with a gorgeous golden pommel gleamed, but even from afar, its edge was plainly dull! Utterly blunt! Farlow gripped the Elven Royal treasure [Wind Shear], heirloom of Arandelle's kings for over ten thousand years! It siphoned the wielder's wind energy, expelling it as a vibrating wind layer encasing the blade in ultra-sharp form! Forged from rare Virite metal! Virite conducted magic superbly yet stood as one of the Primordial Expanse's hardest, impossible to hone! Instead of futile sharpening, they crafted the blunt sword, empowering it to generate its edge via the user's magic! As the Expanse's premier metal, the Virite blade symbolized glory and dominance for the Elven Royal family!

[Wind Shear] in right hand, Farlow barreled at the Valkan, left parrying its claw assault! Three wind blades the beast hurled, but Farlow dodged them gracefully, dropping low and charging on! Seeing ranged hits fail, the Valkan rushed and pounced—but Farlow predicted it, wind-propelling himself skyward! He twisted between its razor claws, then swung [Wind Shear]!

Slash!

ROARRRR!

Pain seared as Farlow's blade sliced deep into the Valkan's left flank, drawing a wrathful roar! Shock hit the beast—scratching its hide took exceptional arms! Forest's top Spirit and TITAN Rank I monster, it shrugged off most weapons! Energy flared behind it; whirling, it spotted Gina crouched on a tree branch, ready to leap! Palms outward, colossal spinning wind blades gripped, she launched at the airborne foe with sonic-boom force!

BOOOM!!

Gina blazed through the sky beyond the Valkan's dodge, her wind blade ripping into neck and shoulder for a brutal gash amplifying its screams! Landing a hundred meters off, she spun to check for a kill—but eyes narrowed in dismay as the Valkan stood firm! Neck and shoulder bore huge rends from her hit, stomach slashed by Farlow, yet it endured!

Astonished by so many gashes in mere moments, the Valkan reeled! Farlow's wound shocked it plenty, but Gina's strike was utterly unforeseen!
