'But it doesn't matter anymore.'
'For now, this guys won't stop until they kill and take the scroll.'
I look back at Ilon, "Thanks for the information, Can I ask why you're so cooperative suddenly?"
"You really ask that with him as your hostage?"
"Oh I'm sorry… I just thought that you guys were the type that would hide such important information even if it ant death."
"Yes," Ilon nods slowly as a small smile creeps on him, "That would be the case, except that I don't need to anymore."
In layman's term, You're gonna die anyway, so it doesn't matter.
…
From Ilon's view, this was going perfect. His trap was almost set for use.
As the ring on his index finger gave a small shine, Ilon felt the strange and powerful connection to his lightning affinity. With it, he saw how the lightning went down from his body and into the ground before slowly and slowly it was inching towards Henry.
It was one of his secret spells called Lightning Ground Poles. Using the earth as a secretive path, he lets his lighting go through it in slow and small amounts, sothing that has yet to be discovered by anyone.
It was also his most effective spell for attacking soone with secrecy. It might not be the strongest, but it is useful to get out of binds. Like they were at the mont.
The attack would also hit Morke, but it wouldn't be life-threatening, at most he'll be unconscious and wake up so ti later with so mory loss.
As Ilon concentrated and moved the current, he heard sothing interesting, "Want to know what's inside the scroll?"
Ilon looked at Henry with a dubious look, not knowing what he was getting at. But he's instincts said to not heed his words.
"No, I don't. Just tell if you have any more demands."
"What's the hurry? Why not talk a bit more… or are you just interested in that spell you've been doing under our feet?" I said with a smirk as Ilon's face imdiately pales at being discovered.
Of course, I knew what he was doing. No way was this guy so cooperative after I killed and captured one of his guys. It was also quite hard to miss that slow blue current going through the ground and coming towards .
I knew the attack was most probably aid at disarming , because it would also hurt Morke. And even if he was a cold blooded killer, he wouldn't go around and kill Morke just like that.
Seeing his spell being discovered for the first ti, shocked Ilon. But it didn't stop him from going with the attack.
"I'm sorry for this, Morke."
"Wh- What?" Morke, a bit disillusioned but knowing what was about to happen, asked out of fright.
Before he could get an answer, he felt himself being lifted up and moving further from where they were. As Morke was about to scream and wretch for freedom, he saw the ground they were previously, break and a huge amount of lighting gather in a big rock stature pierce.
'Did Ilon… went for the kill?'
Again, Morke didn't get his answer as I started jumping back. Ilon's ground attacks only kept on coming. At one point I noticed that it was going to be pointless running like this, I could use this as a way to empty his stamina, but that would take too long.
"Well Morke, it's been nice knowing you pal." I say and throw him.
Morke's eyes glanced at and I could see how stunned he was at that point. But that quickly got replaced by his jarring scream, when the lighting zapped him.
"Argghhhh!"
"Ilon stop!"
With Norfolk's voice, Ilon stopped imdiately.
'Damn, I almost had him.'
Thinking that he looked towards Henry again, but this ti he's eyes seed as if they were more confused than angry.
'What's he doing?'
…
'Hmm… this can't go on any longer. I need to finish this quickly.' Saying that I feel the drain my ntal fortitude was getting.
It wasn't that my willpower or stamina was low, it's that this was becoming unnecessary long now.
'Alright… let's finish this here.'
I bend to the ground and touch it with both hands. It seed as if I was giving up but was actually doing sothing else.
My eyes shine with a blue glint as I say in my mind, 'Water World!'
The ring on my finger gives a bright pink glow as power courses through the ground and starts calling the water underneath it.
Ilon and the others didn't know what strange thing Henry was doing but they felt that it was dangerous.
"With Morke free, let's use all we have to kill him." Pitrol said and tried to use his water sigmat.
But no matter how much he tried, he couldn't do anything. It felt as if, he had lost his power.
"Guys… I think my ring isn't working."
"What? How can it be, are you sure you're using it correctly?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. But I still can't do anything."
"…Then stay here and let us do the fighting." Ilon said and imdiately he heard a familiar scream.
"ARGHHH!"
Looking back, they saw Henry had already grabbed on to Morke again. But this ti, he wasn't using Morke as a hostage. This ti, they saw Henry using his strength to crush Morke's head as he scread uncontrollably.
Lastly, they rembered that Henry had taken Morke's ring, making him vulnerable.
"Stop i-"
Ilon couldn't even finish his sentence as he saw Morke's head bursting off like a waterlon, spraying his blood and brains everywhere.
!!!
Even as they shocking looked with silence, they heard Henry's happy tone.
"Two down, three to go."
"You bastard!" Ilon lost it this ti. Losing one mber through a trick was one thing but losing another one in the sa mission, right in front of them was another.
Both Ilon and Norfolk, flew forward with incredible speed and attacked Henry with their powerful spells.
While Norfolk called on the winds to create sharp blades that would cut Henry in thousand pieces, Ilon used his most devastating lighting spell, Lightning King's Body to shroud his whole body in lightning and attacked him.
But even with such killing spells coming for , I was smiling.
'Water World… Activate.'
The world turned slow for .
I saw the two assassins coming with vengeance beco sluggishly slow. Their position was only a few ters away from .
Suddenly. the ground under them cracked and water in great amount devoured the two people. Even with such intense water hitting them, the two n didn't think much about it… until Ilon realized.
He was using an extrely destructive electric spell and water was quite conductive if it wasn't pure. Which this water wasn't.
Both n felt the greatest amount of shock in their lifeti, course through their whole body and felt completely paralyzed to its grasp.
"ARHHHH!"
"ARGGGHHHH!"
The shock was super intense but even then, I wasn't relieved yet.
I created a few sharks inside the water and because of the electricity roaming freely inside, the sharks too gained that affinity and took large bites at their targets.
In a few monts, the water got colluded with their blood and darkened everything.
"Bad luck what happened to them, right?" I ask the last remaining mber who was terrified at this.
But thinking back to his friends, he beca angry and scread. Creating a few water swords to hit . But instead they hit him as he was shocked at such an occurrence.
"You should know that when two similar affinities wrestle for control." I say showing my pink ring, "Only the higher ranking one always wins."
With that, this guy too died and I let my guard down for a second.
That's all it took for the lightning guy to burst out of the water and strike at my blind spot.
