Imdiately the three mages attacked the group. The female seed to be a World of Earth mage, as she dashed in and the ground rumbled with huge stone lance heads appearing from underground, trying to impale them.
Thankfully, the group was prepared for a fight so none were hit by the sudden assault. But the attack didn't stop there, as the lance heads turned into countless pellets and followed after them.
Evin did not bother to hide anything in this dire situation and had Karan turn into a full body armor. He could hear the tal clanking at the sound of pellets hitting it, but didn't bother thinking about it too much and hurriedly looked at Rith and the rest.
Usually, it would be a terrible mistake to take one's eyes off the enemy, but the Cosmic was a walking get-out-of-jail-free card, so Evin's first priority was to get close to her.
The Cosmic looked shocked as her spell seed to fumble slightly.
"We can't get out, we have to fight! Kill the three adults! Hurry!" Rith shouted. The capability of the teenage boy frightened her greatly, but she was still calm enough to make the best possible calls.
'The kid must be a peak half-core or even a lesser-imposer strong in the World of Space. It takes so ti for him to finalize the lockdown, so we have to hurry in killing the others!' Rith judged.
Evin heard the Cosmic's judgent and was slightly startled, but instantly focused his attention on the enemies.
The boy seed to stay put for whatever reason, awfully focused on sothing.
'The boy must be the strongest of the bunch, which was the reason why Rith would have us kill the rest, before focusing in the boy,' Evin thought and glanced at the other three mages to see which of them were the most killable.
Ssatsko and Aran was forced to fight the woman, since the two couldn't float away, so all they could do was dodge and try to attack back.
One of the hooded n was seemingly casting World of Storm spells. Evin could feel a plethora of Air needles, much stronger than his own, ceaselessly harass Karan. Most of them were directed towards Evin's eyes, but the helt part of Karan did not allow its owner to be hurt.
'I really should make Karan eat reinforced glass, or so kind of transparent tal, or I won't be able to see anything when I'm wearing a helt,' Evin thought.
The other, lankier masked man, one with a necklace around his neck, was apparently a World of Fire mage and he was charging up for a big spell.
'We should probably stop that,' Evin thought and sent Air bullets of his own towards the man. But there didn't seem to be any effect, as the bullets grazed against the man's body without really doing any damage.
Thankfully, so portals appeared near the man's head and tried to cut it off, forcing the man to dodge. The sa thing kept happening to the other Storm mage, as well, forcing him to keep in his toes.
'Rith's doing work'
Evin gave up on the Air bullets and focused on thinning the air around the three enemies. He also began to cast so random illusions to hopefully distract the enemies.
He then dived towards the woman, as she was the one who was taking the most focus. If they could kill her first, then the fight will beco much easier.
Evin did not hesitate and completely removed the air around the woman, trying his best to avoid Ssatsko and Arza.
The woman, who was easily dodging the attacks of Ssatsko and Arza, suddenly found herself unable to breathe. The fact startled her greatly, and it created a chance for Arza and Ssatsko to mount an assault.
Ssatsko's new dagger, which was much more Fla absorbent than his previous one, glowed with a dangerous orange hue. The old man dashed in as fast as he could with his strengthened leg muscles and tried to slash the woman. The latter obviously dashed back, but didn't expect Ssatsko's flaming dagger to extend its reach by three steps, and she hurriedly tried to block it with her arms.
The woman's arms were almost cut in half with the sudden attack, but the offensive wasn't over yet. Arza had already dashed next to her and was gesturing for a wide swing with his flaming sword. It seed extrely hard for the woman to dodge it, and she didn't have enough ti to conjure an earthen wall to protect herself.
But, just as the sword was about to cut open her guts, it phased through her like she was a ghost. Arza found himself in an extrely precarious spot, as the inertia from his swing put his back wide open for the woman.
'Easterner!' Evin realized and dashed towards the woman, gripping Karan tightly in his arms. Information about the Easterners' proficiency in the World of Life and Earth appeared inside his head.
The woman obviously did not waste such a great chance and slashed down on Arza's neck with her short sword, strengthening her muscles with all the mana she could spend. This ti, she didn't hold back, as her being an Easterner was known to her enemies and there was no need to waste such an opportunity.
The sword hit its mark true, but instead of the clean slash the woman was expecting, a thudding sound ca from the impact.
Arza had mustered all the Life energy he had and directed it towards hardening his neck. Although he didn't die, the impact from the blow was still there, so he fell face first into the ground heavily.
At this point, Evin had already reached the woman and was gesturing for a strong stab with Karan against the woman's head.
The woman smirked at the boy's dumb move and turned invulnerable.
'Yes!' Evin smiled and put even more strength into his stab by making it heavier with the Heavy World
The people who were looking were shocked with what happened next. The dagger that was supposed to phase through the woman's body, like what happened with Arza, instead, lodged itself cleanly into the woman's head. A spurt of blood ca out of the wound, which promptly turned into a bloody fountain as Evin pulled Karan out of the woman's head.
Karan was a weapon who could bypass a Layeq's invulnerability and make them unable to heal themselves. Though the latter function wasn't needed as the woman died instantly due to the severity of the wound.
"They have the test subject!" the World of Storm mage shouted, while the Fire mage shouted what Evin supposed was the woman's na.
"Li'shan!"
The boy, on the other hand, seed undisturbed by the death of his team mber and continued to silently keep at whatever he was doing.
The Fire mage dashed towards Evin, shouting madly. Evin could see that Rith tried to stop the man, but the World of Storms mage seed to beco more serious and bombarded the Cosmic with huge air blades. Evin could even see them moving through the air, getting bigger and faster as they relentlessly targeted Rith.
Evin prepared to intercept the incoming man, but the Necklace of Knowing shined inside his chest, informing Evin that he was under an illusion. Evin hurriedly applied the World of Thought energy to his eyes to see what was made out of Thought energy, but a completely silver landscape filled his vision.
'I'm a fucking idiot! Of course a fucking half-core would know how to deal with a textbook illusion discerning ability,' Evin canceled his Illusion vision and decided to use his strongest World.
Evin's shadow darkened greatly and a thick watery wave burst out. A second later, a huge, dark room had appeared on the battlefield. A rhythmically pulsating four story tall wall appeared on the battlefield. The boy practiced this ability of his as much as he could, and now, it was almost twice as large, twice as tall and it wasn't transparent from outside like he first cast.
A second later variety of creatures ca out from inside the shadows, one giant maw as the centerpiece, waiting for prey to wander inside.
