“Celeste spread my flas. Fireball!”
I wasn’t a powerful enough mage that I could do more than throw a fireball, but I still decided to equip it and send it down the path. Using Celeste’s wind, we could create a flathrower effect. Celeste had tried to push them back with just wind, but as soon as they were blasted, they took to the air, and then it beca a truly terrifying sight. Adding fla to the wind was the only way to hold them back.
Miki’s attacks were basically useless, since the insects didn’t have much of a response to soul attacks and she couldn’t stun them. Thus, she focused on fireball to help , but her Basic Magician was only at 15 and she didn’t have the high Mana jobs like Hero and White Mage. Her magical strength was below my own.
Similarly, Lydia and Shao weren’t able to do much. There were hundreds of thousands of creatures, and any given swing could only kill one or two at a ti. Terra did her best, but she similarly couldn’t keep them back. any barriers she created they’d just climb right over and continue on.
As a result, if it hadn’t been for our fireballs and Celeste’s wind blades, we would have fallen already. Unfortunately, it was hard to see a party’s weaknesses until they were suddenly exposed. It turned out we were weak against a large quantity of rather weak enemies. Had I known it would get this bad, I definitely wouldn’t have tried it.
“Shao!” I called out, “Co here.”
My only option right now was to depend on a combination skill. I could pick either fairy dust or spirit fire. Since fairy dust seems to lean to a more restorative effect, I decided on spirit fire which contributed to a more offensive ability like we need now. I glanced through her abilities quickly. I finally found a level 12 Shadow Knight ability. It was called Shadow Poison. It essentially poisoned monsters by attacking from the shadows. For the weak insects who hid in the shadows, it would be extrely effective.
“Cast, Shadow Poison!” I instructed while pulling out the magic dust.
“Yes!” Shao did as I instructed, raising her hand and beginning the spell.
I had Miki cast her spirit fire and throw it at Shao. Imdiately the magic began to change.
“Shadow Flas!” She instinctively called the na of the new spell.
Instead of poison, the shadow beca dark flas. Anything residing within them let out a screeching cry. The flas spread out across the shadows from one to the next. The flas attacked indiscriminately, and I saw them igniting Lydia’s shadow as well.
“Light!” I imdiately cast light around us.
The shadow flas were instantly vanquished for us. However, my lights spell only went one way, so the flas continued to ravage the insects, it burned more and more, becoming a dark inferno of black. The screeches and cries continued, but the thing that continued faster was the death of the insects. They were weak against flas, and they were creatures that hid in shadows. Shadow Flas was a spell they definitely couldn’t fight against. Even if they could have resisted the poison, the shadow flas raced down the hallway.
I hadn’t expected this effect, but it was definitely strong. There were nearly a million insects, and they all died in a spreading wildfire of shadow. The flas were so powerful they seed to be trying to eat the light around us. This spell was extrely powerful in a dark, shadowy labyrinth, but it was also just as dangerous. I began spamming orbs and making a circle around us to keep the inferno at bay.
anwhile, just about every insect on the floor died in the span of ten minutes. When the fire finally died, I realized that we had destroyed over half a million insects. Their experience was rather tiny compared to harder monsters, but at this number, that didn’t even matter. For the girls with 4X experience, they gained the equivalent of killing over 2 million insects. As for , with 10X experience, I gained the experience of killing over 5 million!
The levels began to race across my vision.
