240 Celestial Part 1 (2/2)

This time, even Wallace, who thought that this would just be an easy fight was threatened by the aura it exudes.

”Be careful! It is channeling some sinister aura on its mouth. It may launch an attack at any time...”

Wallace reminded them as he noticed the aura accumulating on its body that was being directed to the chimera's mouth.

The aura was similar to mana but it felt like it was a corrupted form of energy.

Rooaarr!

The chimera made another deafening roar and this time, it was accompanied by a powerful force that even makes the ground tremble.

They tried gaining their balance but the chimera was already charging to the nearest person. It was Clint who just dealt a blow to the chimera.

Blast Shield!

He was aware that his Mana Shell wouldn't last long to a rampaging beast that has a towering height of four meters. The spell he used has an ability to create a wind shock to any approaching projectile that could deflect or delay any attack.

”Come!”

Clint was readying his gauntlet and once the beast was within his reach he would release his strongest strike to finish off this beast.

Hannah had even supported Clint and cast a unique spell called Water Wave to further delay the approaching beast.

As they thought Clint would finish the opponent, a sudden thumping noise was heard and though it lasts for a mere couple of seconds, they realized that there was no longer any mana present in surroundings.

”Crap!”

Clint was surprised by the sudden disappearance of Mana.

Wallace immediately realized the graveness of the situation. Although Clint has a strong body compared to the other Adepts, he was still not a match to the huge raging beast ramming at him.

Its head's antler doesn't seem to be fragile at all and it seems that it could even destroy several trees with its single charge.

The young man used his Void Phase to quickly appear at the side of the beast and used 60 percent of his Astral Core's power to deal a heavy blow...

”Haaah!”

The chimera took the hit but it wasn't thrown away this time since it was being protected by corrupted mana. At the very least, the charging beast changed its direction and Clint avoided taking a direct hit.

”What happened? Why can't we suddenly use Mana?!”

Hannah worriedly asked as she tries to gain control of the surrounding Mana. Her Arcane Link was still there but she can just barely utilize her internal mana. She can't manipulate it and bring it outside her body.

Something was definitely causing a problem. They have been in places without Mana before and the only problem in those locations was that they were unable to control the surrounding mana to strengthen their spells and to utilize it for themselves.

At the very least, in those locations, they can still use their internal mana that was reserved within their bodies.

It was unlike their situation now that even summoning mana from their bodies was causing them problems!

They were worried about this incident... This continent seems to have more secrets than they expected.

”Thank you, Wallace...”

”Don't mind it. That guy was still not finished...”

As soon as he said this, he quickly activated his Astral Core and used his strongest punch to deal damage to that chimera.

Splat!

Its body parts or flesh and blood splattered around the whole place.

Wallace was surprised for a bit. He didn't think that the chimera would just die like this since it was able to defend his 60% strike a while ago.

As everyone sighed in relief and relaxed their bodies, Wallace was only standing on his ground and looking up in the sky.

His face was looking serious and he even slowed his breath unconsciously.

Yumi, Elaine, Hannah, and Clint noticed Wallace's unusual behavior and as soon as they glance at the direction he was looking at, they froze.
