Titania did not hesitate.
With a quick gesture of her small hands, the magic circle exploded into a blinding light. Runes danced through the air in a spiral of energy, and from the center of the spell, a burst of primal magic was launched like a flaming spear, straight toward Vergil's chest.
Zuri let out a muffled cry. "Vergil!"
But he was no longer there.
With a quick, almost lazy movement, Vergil tilted his body to the side, and the beam of energy whizzed past him, cutting a tree in half and exploding against a rock in the background. The impact shook the ground, and burning leaves began to fall slowly around the clearing.
He reappeared a few meters away, standing on a high branch, his hands still in his pockets.
"That hurt just to watch. I almost hit my chin."
Titania spun in the air like a living storm, her wings producing a buzz so intense that it made the air vibrate.
