Hummmm!
A humming sound. A cloud of brilliance. And a distinct shape of a flower.
A fire lotus blood in the middle of the night.
This fire lotus was so brilliant that it drew away the darkness encroaching on the nearby area completely. It started burning the very air it ca in contact with, creating waves of haze in the surroundings.
"Aaaaaaargh!"
The snake sisters and Tohir scread in unison when they suddenly found themselves getting engulfed by flas. The fire-elent mana they had been surrounded with was aggressive and invasive at the sa ti. It tried to lt their skin the mont it ca in contact.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The green vines sprouted from the ground and latched onto these three rankers like octopus legs. They pulled them away from their previous positions and brought them onto a ground covered in green vines.
The green vines then interlocked and created a do-shaped prison with four Spiders inside. The Green Prison spell that had been used to cage Eren was being used once more to save her and her party mbers from Eren's devouring flas.
It looked like a mini green island had been ford inside the fire world. The green vines fought off the fire-elent mana inside the Igni Lotus.
"How… how the fuck can a ta ranker cast a spell like this? This is beyond a normal human's capabilities."
Vinah spoke up after seeing the flas of destruction all around her. Eren's flas were starting to affect the ground too. They were evaporating the moisture in the earth and were creating patches of land that looked like it had been subjected to drought.
Eren freed himself easily when he found out that the green vines that were trying to hold him down did not have the strength behind them anymore. Lagartha's concentration on her mana supply had been divided into caging Eren and saving herself and her party mbers. Thus, she couldn't hold Eren down with the sa ferocity as before.
Igni Chains
Igni Wave
Igni Shards
Eren cast his fire-elent spells one after the other and destroyed the cage that was surrounding him in a few strikes. His fire-elent spells had a natural advantage inside the domain of fire created by him. They all received a natural buff.
Eren stretched his arms when he ca out of his cage. He then raised his arms and controlled the flas inside his fire domain. He wanted to see the faces of his enemies after all.
The vision cleared for both Eren and his opponents when the flas disappeared from the middle of the battle zone. It was as if a small air bubble had been created inside a sea of fire.
'This fiend…!'
Lagartha and her party mbers were riddled with trepidation and fear as they watched their opponent approach them one step at a ti. He had his two axes drawn. Since he wasn't affected by his flas, the red blood on his body was still a bit wet. It was shining due to him being surrounded by so much orange-red brilliance.
Lagartha was just about to pass out from exhaustion when she saw Eren approaching him. She had carried out two Green Prison spells back to back. Thus, she found it difficult to digest that a single man was able to sustain so many spells to this extent.
"Listen here, Spiders. Stop thinking about survival. It's a do-or-die situation. You know what that ans, right?"
Lagartha said and took out a potion vial. The content inside shined with a sinister green hue and gave off a distinct mana signature. This was a forbidden redy that could only be used in ergencies.
Its na was Core Turmoil.
The working of the potion was simple. It would agitate the user's mana core and make it unstable. In exchange, the user would get enhanced body stats as well as spell boosts for a limited amount of ti.
Core Turmoil was one of the well-known potions among rankers for its impressive boost post-consumption. Of course, the potion had its side effects attached to it. The user's mana core would beco unstable the longer they tried to retain the potion's effects.
So users of the forbidden spell would find out that their ranking status had regressed after getting out of the boost the potion provided. Still, they could be said to have it easy. Most users of the potion would find out that their mana cores had been damaged.
So rankers even had their mana cores turn benign, making them no different than mortals. There were many cases of users of the potion getting their mana core destroyed by imploding.
Such cases ended in death.
That's why consumption of the potion wasn't a light matter. The rankers would think things through before consuming forbidden potions like this.
However, Lagartha had co to realize that there was no better use of the potion for her and her party mbers than fighting Eren.
Eren had stoic expressions when he saw his opponents trying to pull off sothing else against him. He had it this ti. It didn't matter how much control he had over the current situation, he wasn't planning to let his enemies gain ground on him willingly.
All four Spiders retrieved their potion vials and were about to drink them. But suddenly, the Igni Chains sprouted from this air before snatching their vials from their hands. The spell's speed and execution were so flawless that the Spiders couldn't offer any resistance to their vials getting snatched.
'There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent.'
Eren saw the dismayed faces of the Spiders and chuckled to himself. Their faces were screaming injustice. As if it were his duty to give them one last chance at survival.
"Let's end this charade."
Eren left his position after saying that. Inside his fire domain, he felt like he was in complete control. Although the fire domain didn't truly provide a boost to his lightning-elent movent spell, the feeling of having control allowed him to tap into the true potential of the spell all the sa.
Bzzt. Swoosh. Chop.
