20 Mostly running, barely any fighting

"heh. I might just be in trouble."

"You do not have the slightest chance to defeat me nor to escape."

"Oh just shut up already!"

Still dodging the slices and stabs rushing towards her through the air in the form of distortion Mizuki kept on trying to find a solution to her current predicament.

'If she does indeed have [Audiokinesis] it really is suprising that I am not dead yet. Sound can be extremely lethal when used correctly.'

'Thankfully this Mergo person does not seem all that bright so I have the upper hand in terms of intellect.'

'To be honest she could have just made my heart vibrate at extreme speeds and made it explode and yet she didn't. Truly a dim individual.'

Mizuki has been thinking to herself for quite a while on the inside but on the outside only a few tens of seconds have passed.

Casting a quick space element spell to teleport a few meters behind her she reached the other side of the door and started running.

'At most her mastery maxes out at making air and most physical objects vibrate, not using the sound part of her sound ability at all.'

*Crash*

Hearing a, yes you guessed it, crash behind her Mizuki took a quick glance and saw that Margherita was approaching fast.

'She could be flying at the speed of sound right now and yet there she is, running like an idiot.'

"Escape is futile!"

"I told you to shut up!"

Freezing the ground behind her, Mizuki infused a shadow and earth element spell that generates hands below your feet whenever you step on the ice.

This could be easily avoided if you would fly or even just stop walking. The spell was made on the fly and therefore not that effective.

'It really is difficult to escape this broad. If I could seal her somewhere then it would be perfect but making a large spell like that will take some time.'

'Considering that she has a sound related ability should mean she has good hearing so if i could escape for a minute or so to someplace near here but also very quiet I could make the spell freely.'

"If you won't leave me alone I'll just leave and come back tomorrow!"

"Try your best!"

Dodging a few more ranged sound based attacks, Mizuki frowned when she saw that one of the attacks had landed.

Not on her but on one of the things that she had planned on stealing.

A lantern was broken in two as a small golden light escaped it and started to fly away.

Mizuki ignored this as she was currently busy dodging and trying to find a good elemental combination to escape.

'Screw it, simple is best.'

Activating a spell of the sound and space elements Mizuki teleported away before Margherita could even respond.

Appearing back at the entrance, Mizuki currently had a few minutes of pure silence as her spell stopped all sound from the location she appeared at.

'Helpful.'

Jumping behind the reception desk she crouched down and started to make her spell.

'Elements for sealing, elements for sealing.. uhh ice, earth, space, time, shadow, gravity and moon to make it tier 4.'

'So let's make it like this then. I don't think I'm ready for all these elements at once since the time element in and of itself is extremely hard to use with other elements so lets start off with ice, space, shadow, gravity and moon.'

'I'll use chains of ice to lock her limbs in place, space to stop her from moving too much, shadow mostly to reinforce the ice, gravity to make her extremely light weight so she can't use weight to her advantage and I'll try to use moon to lock her soul in one location.'

Carefully constructing the spell and modifying it where needed Mizuki was about half way done when she heard something. Or rather, felt something.

A vibration going through the floor and ceiling and roof.

The entire building was vibrating. It stopped after a few seconds but that didn't put Mizukis heart at ease.

For some reason she felt endangered and started to construct it faster. The stoppage of sound within the room where she was hiding ended and she heard a voice.

"So you just came back here to hide and wait for me to leave? Sorry but that won't work. I mean you should already know that by the fact that I am talking to you."

"You who is hiding behind the reception counter."

'F****CCKKK!'

"Finding you through vibrations wasn't that hard. Considering you seem to have the elements of space, darkness, ice and earth you really do seem to be a prodigy at tier 3. Alas this is where you will meet your doom."

'Damn it I can't teleport or else I'll be risking throwing the spell out of wack!'

"You simply cannot defeat a higher tier being."

Margherita explained as she closed in and unsheathed her sword again.

'Almost! I need to stall!'

"Last words?"

"Two actually, first is that you, simply, do not seem to hear me as I have told you to shut up multiple times already but you just keep talking."

Margherita frowned as she raised her sword, ready to strike the counter and behead Mizuki who still had her back towards her.

"And second is that you should never give anyone the chance to say any last words."

Margheritas sword came down at a blinding speed but before it could decapitate Mizuki, she ducked and slammed her hands against the ground.

A multicolored magic circle expanded and engulfed the entire auction house.

Thousands of ice chains infused with shadow element locked on to not Margherita herself but to something else.

A light blue humanoid figure was bound in the chains right infront of Margherita who stood there motionless.

Breathing heavily Mizuki sat there with sweat across her back as she gazed towards the magic circle covering the ground and back at the chained figure.

"Hehe. Haaa."

"So the moon element helped out a lot more than what I had hoped."

"At least I got a description."

Looking at the defeated knight who was still in place and unable to move, Mizuki stated to herself.

"I'm not letting her go, she tried to kill me so I hope she'll like this new home of hers where she will stay until the end of her days."

'Although I doubt the spell will last that long. At most I'd estimate it for a few hours so I should take my leave. And fast.'

Looking away she teleported to the storage room.

Mizuki was suprised to see the small speck of golden light still flying around.
