"I did warn her. She fought better than expected, but this was always going to be the outco." Lizlul muttered under her breath after Evelyn was consud by a fiery explosion. In her mind Evelyn had just been incinerated by the sudden and unavoidable attack that had hit her.
Yet, as she stared up at the blazing inferno of white flas that had erupted around Evelyn, she saw a smoking figure burst out of the flas and begin plumting towards the ground.
With wide eyes filled with shock, she could see that Evelyn appeared mostly unhard. The flas that easily would have burned her into a charred corpse seed to have done almost nothing to Evelyn. It seed that fortune had given her divine favor.
However, Evelyn herself did not feel lucky in any regard. Certainly, the intense heat of the flas had not hard her in the slightest, but the explosive impact of the flaming arrow had broken several of her bones and caused internal bleeding throughout her body.
'Damn it! I can't move my left wing.'
As she tried to steady herself, Evelyn found that one of her wings was completely limp. Without it she could not right her body and continued falling towards the ground at an alarming rate.
Unable to fully stop her montum, Evelyn used her gravity magic to lower her effective weight and created a wind cushion under her to absorb the shock of the fall.
Thankfully this was enough to prevent her from incurring any more serious damage as she crashed into the ground.
Despite the relatively soft landing, the pain Evelyn experienced was still imnse. Her broken bones were violently rattled, and her internal injuries were worsened. For a normal creature the damage she had taken would be enough to put them close to death's door, but as a magical beast at the peak of the awakened rank, Evelyn's body was able to take a great deal of punishnt without perishing.
At least, so long as she had magical energy within her.
With a gritted beak, Evelyn ignored the pain and forced her body to move.
From out of her storage cuff, she pulled out two powerful healing potions she had made herself. For the first one she splashed it over her body as an ergency treatnt thod. The second one she brought to her mouth and quickly drank once the initial potion had lessened the pain she was feeling.
'I'm really glad I prepared these. I'd have been big trouble without them.' Evelyn thought as she pulled herself up.
Thanks to the power of her healing potions the terrible injuries she had incurred were mostly nded within just a minute. Her body still ached all over, but the pain was not debilitating enough to slow her down so long as she stayed focused. She had dealt with far worse in the past after all.
Once she had finished her recovery, Evelyn's first order of business was to locate who had attacked her.
The white-hot flaming arrow that had snipped her out of the air had co fast and packed an incredible punch. So far, she had not encountered any fire elentals of aberrant beasts that were anywhere close to powerful enough to launch an attack at that level.
Luckily, the sniper made themselves known quickly. Unfortunately, it was by firing another arrow at Evelyn since she had survived the first one.
Forcing herself to move, Evelyn lowered gravity around herself again and used her fire and wind magic to create a burst of flas like those coming out of a rocket.
In a show of remarkable speed, she shot back into the sky and narrowly avoided the flaming arrow coming towards her.
The spot she had been just a mont ago was consud by blazing explosion and a spray of molten rock spread through the area.
After dodging the second arrow, Evelyn finally had a bit of breathing room and was able to get a better look at the entity attacking her.
Sitting atop what looked like a wolf made of molten rock was a large six-ard fire elental made of pure white flas that was easily four ters tall.
In one pair of its hands was a bow massive bow made of the sa flas as the elental's body. The others were currently empty, but Evelyn was able to surmise that it could likely create whatever sort of armants it wished out of flas.
'I wonder if that might be a grand fire elental.'
This was the first fire elental she had seen that was clearly head and shoulders above the rest and the power behind its attacks was clearly close to that of a sovereign rank beast. At least, as far as Evelyn could estimate.
She could not understand why it had decided to target her when rank wise she was the weakest on the battlefield, but undoubtedly, she had caught its attention, and it was not going to let her go easily.
With Evelyn having evaded its second shot, the presud grand fire elental conjured two more bows and began launching a rapid dire volley of arrows towards her.
At the sa ti, the main force of fire elentals charged towards the weakened Inferno Field Rangers.
A brutal battle soon ensued between the two forces and any chance that Evelyn would receive so sort of assistance vanished in an instant.
'Looks like they are more than happy to let take fire from the strongest enemy for as long as I can last.' Evelyn thought, seeing no one moving to intercept the mounted fire elental relentlessly attacking her.
Nevertheless, Evelyn found this to be advantageous. If what was after her truly was a grand fire elental, then taking it down would be the swiftest way to achieve her goal of claiming its heart.
Utilizing all three of her magic affinities, Evelyn darted around the sky and evaded the multitude of arrows flying towards her. At the sa ti, she pulled out one potion or pill after the other and consud several items to enhance her abilities. She was not going to hold anything back here and brought out her rarest alchemical items to give her an edge against her vastly superior opponent.
