Chapter 194 - Monster (1) (1/2)
I couldn't care less at this point whose house we were visiting next holiday. It was better than watching someone's death in front of me. I squinted when the boy's entire body became limp. There was no way I was going to let Luke stop me anymore.
The wind rose up as the fallen tree leaves swirled around my feet. It was already late when Luke discovered I have used teleportation. I raised my hand and reached out my arm towards the direction of the monster. Drops of sweat dripped from my forehead as I concentrated on my aim.
”Fireball,” I muttered.
Like several gunshots, I pulled up roaring fireballs peaking as big as my head aimed towards the creature's head. I almost smiled when the monster let go of the boy as it turned to my direction. This was the perfect chance to rescue the boy out of this place and run toward the hovercar.
Usually the number of fireballs I pulled out would destroy the lower levels of the school barriers in the mana training rooms. I teleported to the boy's location, not wanting to waste a precious second, thinking the monster was dead. This was why I was surprised and unprepared when the creature grabbed my leg and started pulling me towards it.
My nails piled dirt on the ground as I resisted its strength. I threw away the grass I pulled and sprinkled it over the monster's eyes. However, the monster appeared more annoyed as it shook me up and down in response. I squirmed, entertaining the monster as it stopped to watch me struggle.
The monster smiled as the corners of its mouth lifted to the height of its ear like it had found a fun prey to catch. Its heavy breaths made my mind feel fuzzy like it was a spell to lulling people to sleep. But this was the perfect chance to finally try out another spell I had always wanted to try.
I had always wanted to test out how much power I could put into an individual attack. Wouldn't a nuclear bomb kill this creature immediately? I just had to somehow scale it down so that it would only hit the monster instead of the entire area. I visualized a smothering flame captured inside a metal capsule full of toxic air that was vacuum sealed.
The more scientific and atomic the visualization was, the more powerful it was. The scientific table full of atoms filled my mind, fueling my imagination before I yelled, ”fire!”
I closed my eyes and immediately pulled out a lower level barrier spell to protect myself from my own attack. When I opened my eyes, hopeful that the creature was finally dead, my surroundings were full of charcoal. I sighed in relief as Shelly pulled the boy towards the hover car, bringing him to a safer place.
The mighty monster had obliviated into ash, indistinguishable from the burnt trees. There was nothing to fear from such a creature when I had enough mana to solve everything. Although I felt my mana supply level drained by half from the last spell. I walked towards Luke, before abruptly stopping when the entire ground started to shake like a tiny earthquake.
