464 Scripted Event Moonfang Kingdom Conquest 24/35: Storming Spirit! Zurut, the Thunderous Leopard Prince VS Acelina & Ismena 2/2 (1/2)
Illusion Attribute Magic was one of the rarest Attributes present in the Realm of Vida, very few tribes of demi-humans specialized on it, and even fewer humans themselves.
The average warrior would probably never fight someone wielding this attribute in their entire lives. It was normal to assume that not many had countermeasures against it, and even less were capable of detecting it with ease.
However, it was particularly known that beings such as Fairies, were capable of using Illusions. Well, Zurut did not know that of course, he was completely ignorant in most things.
The Illusion Attribute was often called a 'weak' attribute… but this was just because there were not any outstanding users in the Realm of Vida's history… however, this attribute was indeed extraordinarily strong if used by good and talented hands. If it were complemented by an attribute such as Light, that could manipulate the reflection of light and create even more vivid illusions.
Enough mastery and talent in this attribute could lead to the user being capable of materializing illusions and making them a tool for fighting or even to create more realistic illusions.
Zurut just fell on Ismena's little trap, she created an illusion screen right before his eyes while he was talking with Acelina, and created a false Acelina that spoke using the real one's voice.
The illusion was so outstandingly realistic that Zurut wasn't capable of detecting any flaws and ran towards it, cutting its throat and then celebrating, only to be attacked while his guard was down by the real Acelina, which was right behind him, to the other side of the ethereal illusion screen.
Zurut was deeply wounded and then sent flying through the air like a bullet, hitting the ground while vomiting blood. Acelina's ambushing attack was incredibly sharp and precise.
”You idiot! Just how many times have I told you to not get so confident on yourself, don't lower your guard!” shouted Geggoron's split soul from within Zurut's mind, using its divinity to quickly recover his wounds and filling him with new vitality.
”I am sorry, Geggoron-sama… But I have never fought against Illusions before!” shouted Zurut, frightened by the ability of the fairy girl, which was flying in the sky…
He wondered if that was really her…
”Take the fairy down! Quick!” shouted Geggoron, taking possession of Zurut's body and rushing through the ground at incredible speed, his Nightmarish Aura converged itself with Zurut's Lightning Aura, creating black lightning that clashed against the air and the ground, flattening the dozens of destroyed buildings all across the battlefield.
Flash!
He rushed towards Ismena who leisurely glancing at him with a surprised face was… then, she smiled.
”Hey, come here if you can really kill me~,” she said.
”Hah! …Ah?!”
However, the pieces of flesh slowly dissipated into magic dust… however, the blood was deeply engraved on Zurut's body.
”What? An illusion again!”
”You idiot, the blood!” shouted Geggoron's split soul, alerting Zurut's of the blood splatted over his body, which has not become magic dust yet…!
”Ah…!”
BOOM!
The blood suddenly detonated! Zurut's body was torn, pieces of his flesh flying through the air.
Then, Acelina once again appeared from the 'background', raising her lance to strike him down.
”You're really a hopeless young kitten, aren't you?”
”Graaaawr!” roared Zurut, detecting her in time despite having pieces of his flesh torn apart and releasing a claw of black lightning, Acelina could not attack him and had to intercept the attack, releasing a shadowy wind by waving her arms.
Zap! Flash!
Both elements collided and exploded, Zurut's body had already recovered from his wounds thanks to Geggoron's split soul using its Divinity on him.
However, from the background, more illusions appeared, they were… dozens of Ismenas!
”Come on, can you find the real one between dozens of me~?” laughed the young fairy.
”The fairy! Kill her! Find the real one!” shouted Geggoron's split soul, bewildered, controlling Zurut's body.
”Wait for a second, boss! This is a trap!” shouted Zurut, trying to convince his impatient Geggoron's split soul.
However, his body moved on its own as it released kicking attacks and slashing claws filled with black thunder everywhere, colliding against Ismena's copies.
”You failed!”
”Not me!”
”Wrong!”
But as many as he made blow away into pieces and then turn into dust, the more appeared, all of them working together against Zurut and opening their floating grimoires, conjuring several spells at the same time!
”Grimoire Magic; Monsters Rampage!”
”Grimoire Magic; Flying Shark's Deadly Bite!”
”Grimoire Magic; Giant Mantis Scythe Slice!”
”Grimoire Magic; Armored Shellfish's Piercing Claws!”
”Grimoire Magic; Octopus Tentacle's Barrage!”
”Grimoire Magic; Furious Manticore's Onslaught!”
Giant monsters made out of magic emerged from the books, Flying Sharks, Giant Shellfish, Armored Octopuses, Manticores, Giant Mantises, and more!
All of them seemed semi-transparent and made out of different-colored magic energy, however, their blows feel for real, even if they came from illusions!
Zurut could not evade the sheer amount of attacks from all possible sides, even with his amazing speed, he cannot evade if there is not anywhere to escape to!
He flew through the air, destroying several of these illusions with his rampaging attacks, but he also received large amounts of damage that were being constantly recovered through Geggoron's split soul Divinity and its Nightmarish Aura.
”Gaaah! There are so many! And she keeps appearing and conjuring! Just, where is she?!” shouted Geggoron's split soul.
”Ohohohoho! I am here!” laughed Acelina, appearing from the insides of a sliced apart Ismena!
”What…? Just how?!”
”Devilish Piercing Rain! Draconic Breath of Darkness!” shouted Acelina, unleashing a series of piercing attacks with her spear alongside shaping her shadows into spears to add into the mix. Then, she opened her mouth, showing her purple tongue and her long fangs, spitting a blazing breath of darkness!
The attacks converged and directly hit the surprised Zurut.
Clash! Slash! Flash!
”Gggyaaaa!”
He felt his entire body being burnt, pierced, and even cursed by Acelina's attacks. And because they were charged with the 'Divinity Devouring' Skill effect, the even damaged Geggoron's split soul directly.
As Zurut struggled to recover in midair, Ismena and Acelina did not want to leave him any time to rest! Unlike the other girls, they wanted to finish him as fast as possible!
Ismena's Illusion Clones began to unleash spells after spells, falling over Zurut's entire body, meanwhile, Zurut tried to destroy some by releasing powerful blasts of dark lightning, however, from the 'corpses' of Ismena's Illusion Clones, Acelina's Illusions emerged, raising their sharp spears and unleashing techniques, while some others released breaths of blazing darkness.
”Gyaaaaaa! Stop, wait for a second…! Ugh! Ugaaah!”
The real Acelina appeared out of nowhere from within an Illusion Screen and used the sharp claws in her Dragonoid feet to kick Zurut's face with a strong technique engulfed in her shadow winds.
”Fall, little kitty!” she laughed.
Clash!
”Guuuaaaahhh!”
Boom!
Zurut fell over the ground, creating a crater that expanded its cracks like a spiderweb through the battlefield, his body was completely torn apart, his bones broken and his flesh mushed, his face was disfigured and his handsome appearance was no more. Acelina's last attack could be seen as nothing but nasty… fitting of her new devilish path.
Zurut glanced at Ismena's and Acelina's illusions appearing and flying towards him… his eyes could barely see them, he could barely breathe and his entire body was covered in wounds.
”I wasn't… fast enough…? Mother… I am… sorry…” he muttered.
”Silence, you scum! You have been nothing more than disappointment after disappointment for me!” shouted Geggoron's split soul.
”Shut up, I never liked you…” muttered Zurut.
”What? How dare you talk back to me? The one who gave you so much?! And why is that… isn't the brainwashing not working?!” shouted Geggoron.
”Perhaps that lady finally knocked me out of your delusions, boss,” said Zurut.
