1129 The battle for Maynard Island (6)
"Where the fuck is he?"
"I don't know! I can't see him!"
"Vex, can you do sothing?"
But Vex couldn't, though; he wasn't stupid, and even if he directly couldn't, there was still sothing he could do: think. In fact, he had an idea.
"Terra, flood the area; we will use the water as—"
But Vex stopped mid-sentence because he saw it—a small cloud of dust heading in their direction.
"Shit."
He bent the space, and the three appeared on another part of the battlefield, safe from harm, at least for now.
"Why did you teleport us?"
"He was almost on us," Vex said.
Terra's eyes widened.
"Shit… If he is invisible, how the fuck can we fight him?"
"I told you already, use the water. We can fight only using the steps on water as a clue to his position. We did this many tis already."
They could; they did it already. It was hard, but not impossible. Besides, it wasn't like when Erik moved they could see him clearly anyway, so the situation wasn't that different from before. Terra could use area attacks, and while Restro could not actually fight head-on against Erik, he could still help Terra by changing the substance of the earth or water he conjured.
"Do it fast!"
The blackguard didn't waste ti.
Terra's eyes glowed bright blue as he used his power. The surrounding air beca misty as water appeared. Soon, water flowed from his hands in a powerful stream. It quickly spread across the ground, making a thin, shiny layer.
The water was shallow—barely ankle-deep—but enough to help them locate Erik. Its calm surface rippled, clearly affected by the ongoing battle around them, but differently from how it would ripple if Erik was there.
Vex watched for signs of movent. "There!" he said, pointing to a spot where the water was being particularly disturbed despite no one being there.
In truth, Vex teleported everything very far. Not outside the battlefield, of course, but enough for Erik to take at least a couple of minutes before he could find them. Yet he already did.
