Chapter 536: Clash (1/2)
”I will show you the depth of true magic.”
The mermaid princess lifted her hand as her staff started glowing.
”Did you smell something?”
”Huh?”
”What are you talking about?”
The soldiers suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable as they began to talk among themselves.
If not for the fact they weren't moving, they would have noticed the difference the moment the mermaid princess started her magic.
Kai, who had a better angle from the air, noticed what was happening and looked down, specifically at the ground.
Many soldiers noticed Kai's gesture and followed his line of sight and found the dirt they stepped on had turned into mud.
”What is this?”
”Mud?”
”No. Is this water?!”
The soldiers raised their feet in succession to check the sudden appearance of the mud. They were confused because they never expected the ground would turn into mud in an instant.
Even those from above the walls stopped attacking the Magical Beasts because of the same surprise.
”What is happening?”
Kai realized what happened as water flow filled his ears as he looked at the mermaid princess. ”You!”
”It's too late. You can't do anything.” The princess clutched her hand before the water began to rise from the ground, making huge but shallow ponds everywhere.
”What is this?”
”Water?!”
Unfortunately for the soldiers who were still in shock, the princess did another thing to impress them. She gathered all the muddy water hidden inside the ground and formed a brown-colored water elemental. It had two human hands, a muscular body, and an elephant head.
Its bottom was a circle where the water gathered. Still, the elemental alone reached as high as two hundred meters.
”Let me see whether you have the strength to do something like this…” The princess smirked and looked up, staring at all those flying jets.
The elemental suddenly opened its arms wide as if trying to embrace the fighter jets.
All the jets quickly turned to the left, right or even upward, trying to avoid this colossal elemental. Unfortunately, one of them couldn't escape and got swallowed by the water before exploding.
Boom.
”…” Kai gritted his teeth, knowing that the mermaid princess tried to weaken their morale. He thought for a moment and raised his sword, waving it horizontally. ”Sonokinetic Blade.”
The Sound Wave that gathered around his sword flew straight at the elemental's stomach where he planned to destroy it in one go to gain back the momentum.
However, the princess already knew his plan, so the elemental clasped its hand before a giant sword made of water extended from its body.
The elemental swung it down and struck the Sound Wave, resulting in a powerful shock wave that shook the entire battlefield.
Boom.
The shock wave woke everyone up from their surprise as they saw the giant sword had been cut. However, what Kai cared about was the fact that he couldn't even penetrate the sword.
'Is this really the difference between me and her?' Kai clenched his teeth, knowing that this situation was pretty bad for him.
Knowing that he couldn't raise the morale with that attack, Kai raised his sword and shouted while using his Magic to amplify his voice. ”Take a look at your surroundings. Who's beside you?!”
The soldiers' bodies shook as that shout made them realize they were still on the battlefield. They looked at each other as a flame was ignited inside their heart.
It was clear what to say in this situation and there was a sense of union between them and those around them. They all shouted in unison.
”Our Comrade!”
”Who's behind you?!”
”Our Family!”
”Who's in front of us?!”
