Chapter 123: Elental Being I
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as rlin stepped inside the dark cave, he felt a chill straight up his spine.
Although the cave was dark, it was nothing for a Spell Caster like rlin. They had their Mind Power, so they could see clearly even in the dark.
rlin was always walking at the front and was always on alert. As soon as he sensed anything, he would halt. After ensuring there was nothing wrong, he would continue his walk.
“Wait. What’s that sound in front?”
rlin suddenly paused and listened closely.
“Screech!”
The sound beca nearer and clearer. rlin’s expression changed and alerted the others imdiately, “Be careful. It may be the Dark Vampire Bats!”
As soon as he finished his words, they saw a gigantic red light appeared in the dark cave in front of them. Moreover, the light was approaching rlin at an incredible speed.
“Frost!”
rlin imdiately cast his Frost and almost sealed the narrow pathway in the cave.
“Bang!”
A loud bang was accompanied by a strong crash. The red light in front of them was not affected by Frost at all. It directly crashed through the thick ice and dashed straight toward rlin and the others.
“Hiss!”
At this mont, rlin had a clear view of the red light. He could not help but took a deep breath.
The red light was, in fact, a gigantic Dark Vampire Bat. As compared to the Dark Vampire Bats they encountered out there, this one was much larger. Its whole body was as red as blood and its figure was hideous. This strange Dark Vampire Bat let out a series of deafening screeches and its speed was even faster than rlin when he cast Gale.
This one was too quick. rlin only managed to cast Fireball to halt the Dark Vampire Bat’s speed.
“Bang!”
However, it was to no avail. This Dark Vampire Bat ignored the Fireball which gave out terrifying heat and directly crashed into it. The bat widened its mouth and instantly spat out black mucus which gave off a terrible stench.
The changes transpired too quickly. rlin did not have the ti to react, so he could only avoid it temporarily.
Laurinka who was behind him was also alerted and hurriedly went aside. However, Wizard Danbe was not that lucky. Since the dark mucus ca too quickly and the cave was quite dark, Wizard Danbe could not see clearly and cast an Earth-type Defensive spell.
A thick wall made of earth rose and blocked in front of Wizard Danbe. The wall almost blocked off the pathway of the cave.
“Hiss! Hiss!”
The dark mucus spat out by the Dark Vampire Bat seed to have an unbelievably strong corrosive effect. The earth wall in front of Wizard Danbe only stopped the mucus montarily. Then, a large hole appeared and the mucus flew onto Wizard Danbe’s body.
“What the heck is this?”
Wizard Danbe stared in horror as a bloody hole was corroded through his body. The excruciating pain made him let out a horrified shriek. After that, Wizard Danbe fell on the ground with a grueso look on his face.
“Hiss!”
rlin took a deep breath. Fortunately, he did not cast Earth Guard earlier. Although he was confident in Earth Guard, this Dark Vampire Bat was obviously extraordinary having seen Wizard Danbe’s ending. It was still difficult to judge whether his Earth Guard would hold against it.
“Retreat quickly.”
rlin howled, knowing this Dark Vampire Bat was special. Other than him, even Laurinka would not be able to defend against a few attacks from this Dark Vampire Bat.
“Screech! Screech!”
The Dark Vampire Bat let out sharp shrieks again. Then, a hint of Darkness Elent began to gather around it. In this dark cave, Darkness-type Elental Monster had its advantage by nature.
This Dark Vampire Bat was currently gathering Darkness Elent, obviously trying to cast a spell.
rlin was shocked. He finally understood how this Dark Vampire Bat was different. Elental Monster that could cast a spell was rather horrifying. The normal Icelandic Wolf and the Dark Vampire Bats could not cast any spell.
This Dark Vampire Bat could actually cast a spell... Only Vampire Bat King was able to do that!
As she sensed the fluctuation of Darkness Elent gradually got stronger, Laurinka could not help but shout, “Not good. Can this be a Vampire Bat King?”
Once a Vampire Bat King was born, it was comparable to a Fourth-level spellCaster and could dominate a certain area of land. It also possessed high intelligence. At this mont, it was no longer called an Elental Monster but an Elental Being instead.
From an Elental Monster to an Elental Being, it was a change of nature. An Elental Monster was at most a monster with low intelligence. It was born in so unique place overflowing with Elent. Since it was weak, a Entrance-level Spell Caster or interdiate Elental Swordsman could usually deal with it.
However, once it had beco an Elental Being, it could control Elent and possessed higher intelligence, and was no different than a normal human being. Moreover, it would be talented and had an absolute power over a certain Elent.
Such an Elental Being was comparable to the Fourth-level Wizard who could build his own tower in the Dark Magic Region.
“Swish!”
The spell this Dark Vampire Bat cast was a black line which rged with the dark cave. It was difficult to defend against it.
“Is it Darkness Rays? Moreover, it seems to only have an effect as near as that of a First-level spell. This is not a true Vampire Bat King. It should be a Vampire Bat King which is still evolving.”
rlin’s Mind Power could sharply sense Darkness Rays which blended in the darkness. It was the sa for Laurinka, so both could easily avoid it.
However, Catherine and Capace were not so fortunate. Capace was an Elental Swordsman who was at the peak of Third-level. He could sense a certain amount of danger, so when he felt that it was dangerous, he imdiately pulled out his sword and block in front of him.
“Kachak.”
However, it was to no avail. The specialty of Darkness Rays was its extrely strong penetration power. It could easily penetrate even a strong black iron plate, not to ntion a normal iron sword.
Darkness Rays, the level-zero spell in the Dark Magic Region, was, in fact, a product of inspiration from the Vampire Bat King. After going through the study of strong Spell Casters, a whole new level-zero spell was finally born.
True Darkness Rays was Talent spell of the Vampire Bat King. It was at the sa level as a terrifying Fourth-level spell. Darkness Rays in the Dark Magic Region was way weaker than the Vampire Bat King’s Talent spell.
Darkness Rays pierced through Capace’s sword. In addition, its power did not lessen and directly penetrated through Capace’s palm. Even Catherine who was behind Capace had gotten her whole right arm pierced through by it. The injury shocked Catherine so badly that she almost fainted from it.
Everything happened in a second. rlin had no other way as well. He could only watch as Capace and Catherine were pierced through by Darkness Rays.
Just as what rlin had said outside of the cave, he could save Catherine and Capace once or twice, but he might not be able to save them the third ti. However, they were still considered lucky. One of them had his palm injured while the other had her arm injured – they did not lose their lives after all.
This experience was a morable lesson to them.
“Screech!”
This Dark Vampire Bat which was beginning to evolve into Vampire Bat King let out a series of sharp screech. It was still preparing for a stronger attack. rlin and others were still shrouded in danger.
