The enemies were caught off guard, to the point that even so of the earth mages were crushed by the boulder that they created.
The enemies panicked when they saw that kind of spell, and soon, the water snipers approached and attacked the fire tornado. Still, the spell began to move toward them while destroying a good part of their camps…
The wind and earth mages that were resting joined them to attack the spell. Still, since they weren't acting together, they only slowed it down a little while they were pulled toward it; before long, their screams of pain echoed in the area.
"They are looking for us… make the flas spread," Jori said.
Liss nodded while she was making an expression of effort and sweating. She used all of her remaining mana and focus to make the flas spread in all directions, consuming a bunch of tents and enemy soldiers on the blast.
An unknown skill leveled up.

When the enemies recovered from the unpleasant surprise, Rain had already sealed the hole, and they were returning to the city.
Before long, they were back and confird that the enemies were still busy looking after their wounded and extinguishing the flas that spread around. At the sa ti, the enemies on the other side of the walls slowed down the attacks and kept their guard up against ambushes like that.
"Good work, this should even things a bit," Branden said. "You should rest now and wait for future orders. Try to relax as much as possible while you can."
Controlling that much mana sure wore Liss down, so she accepted the offer without hesitation. As for Rain, he wasn't that tired, but he wanted to ditate as much as possible… he also had a feeling that the enemies wouldn't only use their minions to take over the walls, after all.
"I thought that my range was good, but I guess that after seeing this, perhaps I should train harder," Asche said while looking for a target that she could use. "I will co back later."
"I will stay close to the walls in case soone gets hurt," Terra declared.
"I wished that we could do sothing like that as well, but there are too many people on guard duty; I guess we will have to wait until the next battle," Jori said.
"Let's just sharpen our arrows as much as possible to cut down the enemies with more ease," Reca said.
Despite her scary words, Reca had a point. Everyone could do sothing in that situation to improve their odds. Branden felt satisfied seeing the group working like that. He also felt satisfied that Rain's presence made them grow that much… he had originally planned to make them grow by looking after soone younger who was supposed to be like them. Still, he proved to be a lot more reliable.
Rain Awakened their competitive side, and they also learned that preparation was key.
In any case, when morning ca, Rain felt a bit less tired since he managed to find a bit of balance between using ditation and resting his head. The enemies attacked the walls a few tis, but not that many tis, and not that side of the wall.
"I guess it is ti for that; the forearm guards are almost completely busted, so I have to buy the best ones I can find in the capital, and since I am already of this size, I might as well buy so that will work even in an adult body," Rain thought while he was stretching. "I guess it is ti to get the shin guards as well. That will offer so extra protection and variety to my attacks."
Rain wanted so nice breakfast to start the day on a high note, but soon, he reunited with the others and only had so nations. They didn't know how long the battle would last, so they had to be careful with their food since reinforcents would co as fast as possible, and they wouldn't be able to do that while carrying a lot with them.
"We haven't received our orders yet, but I guess we need to talk about how we should fight today," Jori said while they were earring. "While we didn't have to use formations now, we should do that from now on for the sake of efficiency. We can't just let Rain dash ahead and offer support from a distance. That isn't much teamwork, and that also makes him use a lot of mana."
Rain didn't mind that much since he had the chance to get a lot of experience, but perhaps Jori had a point. Instead of going ahead like a cannon and only working for a few minutes, perhaps a more steady approach would be the best option since he would be able to fight longer, and the others would get stronger with him.
Battles like that were good to make him gain a lot of power, but it would be bad if sothing happens to his friends while he was away.
"We don't have to watch our back, so I think that sothing like this would work," Jori said while drawing on the ground. "Terra stays in the middle, and the rest of us deal with the enemies around us. Asche and Liss will be on the back of the formation, offering support since they can only attack so many tis; Reca and I will be on the front but watching the sides, and Rain will lead the charge.
Sotis, he doesn't have ti to look to the sides, so we need to do that for him since he is getting hurt a lot in his blind spot."
"I guess that is fine. Rain can lead the charge and also Change its direction in case of need," Reca said. "Still, we might need to do that a few tis to improve our coordination."
