Fwip!
"These bastards...!"
Aestrea clenched the hilt of his sword.
He tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, ready for whatever ca next.
With a quick jump back, he barely avoided the swipe of a vine— Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
But another one shot out from behind him.
Instinctively, he twisted his body, using a Fosbury flop move to dodge the attack.
He landed hard on the ground, and then his eyes glowed intensely.
"Moonlit Ice Lotus Sword Art..."
He bent down his body...
『 Third Move! (?? Moonlight's One Flash ??) 』
FWOOP!
In the blink of an eye, he vanished into thin air.
Then—
SPLURT!
"GURAARGGHHH!"
The three grotesque creatures let out a howl of pain as a deep, diagonal cut appeared across their rotten chests.
Aestrea's eyes lit up.
"A solid hit!"
Snap!
『 Bleed 』
SPLURT!
The wound deepened, tearing open as blood sprayed out in a violent gush, splattering the ground.
"GRAAGH!"
One of the creatures shrieked, stumbling backward as the blood flowed freely.
However, Aestrea knew that this wasn't enough, he needed to have a solid hit on their heads to kill them.
His mana output had already increased from two to seven since he began this battle, but pushing further would be too dangerous.
So, he needed to make it quick.
"Fuuu..."
He exhaled sharply, a faint mist of ice rising from his body as he extended his right hand toward the creatures.
『 Ice Series: Soaring Ice Phoenix! (?? 7th-Level Spell ??)』
The mist swirled around his hand, forming the outline of a majestic, ice-blue phoenix. Aestrea's mana drained rapidly as he channeled everything into the spell.
"Fuuu..." he exhaled again, smoke swirling from his mouth.
"Release."
KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Fwoop!
The phoenix screeched as it shot forward, its wings flapping wildly, freezing everything in its path.
The mont it reached the creatures, the phoenix's eyes blazed bright blue, and it opened its mouth in a chilling cry.
KRIII!
CHILL!
BAAAM!
The phoenix collided with the creatures, creating a massive silver-blue explosion that froze everything in a two hundred ter radius.
"Agh..."
Aestrea staggered, almost collapsing as the spell drained him.
He clutched his right arm tightly, his breathing heavy.
"Don't tell ..."
『Judgent Eye (?? S
Level Skill ??)』
His gaze shifted to his arm, and his face twisted in frustration.
"Gosh..." he muttered, glancing up at the sky as he bit his lip in anger.
He had ruptured one of his mana pathways again.
Sizzzlee!
"...More monsters?"
Aestrea quickly adjusted himself, jumping back in wariness.
But to his surprise...
"AESTREA!"
It was Ella and Lucas.
They were both covered in layers of ice.
"Are you alright?" Ella inquired, looking at his body with a worried expression.
Aestrea's face twitched at the concern, but he quickly exhaled, forcing himself to calm down.
"Yeah... just a bit of damage to my right arm," he replied calmly.
At that mont, Ella's eyes imdiately snapped to his right arm, noticing the faint leak of mana trickling out.
"Just a bit?! You ruptured one of your mana pathways again?! Didn't that already happen once? If you rupture it again, you might lose that arm's mana forever!" she scolded, her voice rising in panic.
"...Thanks for worrying. But I know my limits."
'...I'll need to visit Christina later. Only she could potentially heal my arm.' Aestrea added inwardly.
By saying, "I know my limits
