Chapter 84: Something behind the wall (2/2)

”That's four,” she whispered.

She then brandished it at her front, sending her newly learned technique — the Flame Wave.

Flame of unbearable heat bursts out from the fire sword then rapidly swallows sixapproaching Evil Rats. The unlucky victims were charred.

”Ten,” she whispered again. Then she twisted her body to dodge the leaping monster from the side. After her successful dodge, she stabbed the monster's side. The sword pierced the monster's body and it dropped twisting in pain on the ground before it lost its ability to move.

”Eleven,” she continued counting.

Three Evil Bats tried to dive towards Almina but before they succeeded, they were met with three arrows instead.

”Nine, ten, eleven,” Almina heard the blonde mutter.

She side-glanced at her and saw her raising a brow.

Sparks flew in their eyes.

Mercenary Ultima thought that these two beauties were scary. 'So this is the disparity between me from a normal family and them from a rich family plus talented magicians!' Ultima thought in dismay.

But he could not give up, 'In any case, as a junior trainee I can't let myself fall behind!' He yelled inwardly and summoned more mana to repair the shield that started showing cracks.

Almina and Maena continued their onslaught. Monster corpses were massing on the ground and painted it with blood.

These monsters were of low rank but Almina and the others noticed that more monsters were coming. They were wondering if where these monsters came from.

They also started to feel tired and their mana had greatly decreased.

Ultima's shield had been broken long ago and now he was helping in killing the monsters using his main ability the wave of emerald energy.

Emerald color energy traveled the space from him towards the target enemy. He was supporting the two who charged in a melee to the monsters. Never did he imagine that the blonde was capable of wielding a dagger. She was executing weapon-exchange pretty quickly.

The approaching enemies were met by her arrows and the one who neared her was cut by her dagger. Actually, she was annoyed at the moment because the mask she was wearing hindered her breathing — added more pressure to her.

On the other hand, Almina was wielding a dual sword with two opposite elements.

She was moving agile and killing the monsters with combo attacks.

What made Mercenary Ultima dumbfounded was that these two beauties were counting the number of their kills. Looks like these two were in some kind of competition!

Yman was still scrutinizing the wall. He tapped it, ”Errk!” He jerked back his hand.

”This wall is so cold.”

”I don't know.”

”Okay.”

Yman borrowed Sistela's mana. His both hands were now glowing in pure white. He tapped the wall again. It was still cold but it was bearable now than before.

He tried to push it, ”Dang, it seemed like something was blocking or holding it from the behind.” No matter how he pushed it, it won't budge even a little.

He anxiously glanced at the back and saw the others were already fighting in a melee. It seemed like most of them had spent their mana.

Yman quickly turned back his eyes on the wall when a piercing gaze from the blonde landed on him. Based on that gazed it was easy to read that she was annoyed at him. She must be asking him if what he was dilly-dallying while they were fighting with the monsters.

A bead of sweat appeared at the back of his head.

A moment later, Yman noticed that the mana he borrowed from Sistela was being consumed by something. He closed his eyes to sense it. The mana that enveloped his hand traveled towards the other side. He thought that whatever was on the other side of this wall, it was no ordinary.

|Wait, if I'm not mistaken, the thing that holding this wall firmly should be a massive amount of ice since the wall is freakin cold. Then how about the thing that absorbs mana?|

Suddenly, his eyes landed on the Iceweeds Cold-Reliever on the ground. Yman's eyes widened.
