Volu 3, Chapter 262 - Fiend (1/4)
Right after the slash ca flying the spears of fla. At first glance, there were 12 spears of fla, but that number quickly increased to 20. Despite facing Rashka of Gaidga, Gi Za Zakuend the Wizard, Gi Do Buruga the Alchemist, and Gi Go Amatsuki the Sword King, Oron was not disadvantaged.
In fact, he was even laughing as he drove his enemies to a corner.
“There’s no end to this.”
Gi Za clicked his tongue, and the pale Gi Do agreed. It didn’t matter how many spells they cast, this foe before them would just double his attacks. It was getting to the point where even just moving was dangerous.
Wind gathered at the end of Gi Za’s staff, and he conjured a spear of wind. This spear was not ant for him to attack the enemy proactively, however, but to cover for Rashka and Gi Go, who were attacking recklessly.
Rashka could attack from a distance, so covering for him was simple enough, but Gi Go threw himself into the fray and clashed with those spears of flas directly. Clearly, he was first rate when it ca to bravery. But of course, covering for him was by no ans easy.
Oron, who was praised and known by the humans as a living legend, relentlessly conjured walls of fla around him, while giving rise to many spears of fla in the air. Even when Gi Go manages to get past the spears of fla, once he attacks the walls of fla, more spears would appear.
Although these spears were few in number, likely because they were rely a counter to his attacks, every one of them has been shot toward a fatal point. So far Gi Go has been able to dodge them by a hair’s breadth, but it was evident that just passing through those spears of fla and attacking the walls of fla was already taking everything he had.
“What’s the matter, goblins?” Oron said provocatively as the flas whirled.
When the flas of spear struck into the ground, a border of fire was demarcated, restricting the paths they could attack from.
“If you’re not coming, then I suppose I’ll just have to co myself.”
Three spears of fla beca entangled with each other. They were originally just lumps of fla, so it’s not surprising that they could transform. After the three spears of fla that entangled finished transforming, they turned into a spear twice as long as the previous ones. Moreover, at the end of the spear could now be seen a three-pronged fork. They had beco tridents.
There were four of them all in all. And Oron shot them at the goblins surrounding him. These spears were fast, as though the speed of the other spears had been added to them. Because they were faster than normal, the wizard and the alchemist were slow to react.
They erected walls of wind, and when the tridents of fla hit them, they blew up and scorched the surrounding area. Although the two goblins had successfully avoided a direct hit, they could not protect themselves from the explosion’s impact, and they found themselves tumbling onto the ground after being blown away.
Grimacing from the pain running up his arms, Gi Za clicked his tongue and beheld three more tridents eyeing him.
“So annoying!”
He managed to destroy those three spears with his own wind spears, but he could do nothing about the blood and ether that has left him. The seemingly endless mana of the foe before them was gradually pushing these goblins, who took great pride in their vast reserves of ether, into a corner.
A trident of fla shot out toward Rashka, but he managed to intercept it from a distance. But when Rashka tried to approach the enemy, the succeeding spears of fla kept him in check. Although he could intercept the enemy’s attacks from a distance, it did not seem as though he could defeat him either.
As for Gi Go, he had fled from the range of the tridents the mont they were shot. To a swordsman that risks his life up close, the increase in speed was irrelevant. He dodged the spears of flas and approached the enemy, then swung his sword. When he realized that the tridents of fla that he had dodged were still on his track, he realized that he had ssed up.
Before him was a wall of fla, behind him was a trident of fla.
Though unable to advance or retreat, this veteran swordsman showed no impatience as he resolutely made the decision to stop in front of the wall of fla, close his eyes, and receive the trident.
A breath passed.
When his eyes opened next, he beheld the trident of fla approaching.
The mont it was about to touch him, he threw himself to the side and rolled on the ground. Unable to stop its montum, the trident of fla crashed into the wall of fla.
“…What?” Gi Za said.
“What are you so surprised about? Fire does not have form. Hence, it’s only normal for it to be absorbed,” Oron said.
Oron mocked Gi Go for his lack of knowledge. Even as he picked himself back up, no explosion ca out, as the trident had rely been absorbed by the wall of fla.
“My Fla King’s Eyes (Markokias) is a sacred treasure that boasts absolute defense. You lowly goblins can spend a century or a millennium fighting, nothing will change.”
“Don’t regret those words!”
When Gi Za’s words resounded, a wind that could extinguish even the flas gathered on his arms.
“Oh? You will challenge ? Moreover, you wish to challenge in mana?”
With a sneer, the walls of fla raged, and spears of fla appeared around Gi Za.
The ether that had gathered around his two arms whirled up the winds and converged.
“Don’t be afraid, spirit.”
He cald the fearful spirit, and made its power his own.
“Ku ha ha ha, a spirit, huh. That’s not enough! That’s too lacking!”
Oron continued to gather even more mana, and now, the number of spears he had conjured numbered 40.
“My storm of fire, accept it with your body!” Oron said.
“You make laugh! You call that a storm?” Gi Za said.
“Ha! At least your tongue has fire! Take it!”
Gi Za’s right arm was raised above him. The wind emanating from that hand whirled up the flas into the sky.
“Die.”
The spears of fla behind Oron simultaneously shot out toward Gi Za.
In the next mont, fire and wind clashed, giving rise to a terrifying explosion.
“What?”
The one who looked up in shock was none other than the man known as the living legend.
“…’Nothing would change even if we kept fighting for a century or a millennium,’ those were your words!”
Gi Za’s loud voice drew Oron’s attention back from the explosions in the air.
“That’s why I called my army (druids)!”
