Chapter 744: Osborne versus Selina part 1 (2/2)
Those were the questions that every spectator asked while watching the smoke that covered Osborne's figure.
Fortunately, it didn't take that long for their question to be answered.
Currently, Osborne was still standing with his shield raised up to block his front. Other than the surface of his shield getting charred a bit, nothing else was affected.
”Impressive!” Osborne muttered. He put the shield to the side and said, ”But if you were expecting that was enough to take me down, then you are hugely mistaken,”
After saying that, Osborne raised his sword above his head before waving it towards the ground in full force while at the same time he cast, ”Earth Split!”
BOOOOOOOM!
The vast crack immediately appeared on the ground and swiftly made its way towards Selina's direction. Wherever the crack appeared, the land would right after split apart for a few meters wide, creating a long and deep crevasse.
Unlike the Flaming Slash spell, though, the Earth Split spell was significantly slower. Thus, Selina has a lot of time to jump away and escape from the range of the Earth Split spell.
But to Selina's surprised, a series of earth walls suddenly appeared around her, trapping her in the middle and preventing her from escaping away. The only escape route remaining is in front of her, where the Earth Split spell was going toward.
”When did you cast an Earth wall spell?” Selina wondered just when exactly did Osborne cast an Earth wall spell to trap her. Or did he perhaps cast it in advance without her knowing? The best time for that would be…
”During the time when I was momentarily covered in smoke. After all, it would be such a huge waste not to use that opportunity to my advantage, right?” Osborne responded.
”I didn't expect that an Orc would also possess such wisdom,” Selina said in helplessness. Since things have already developed this way, then her only way to escape is to use another powerful Magic spell to counter the Earth Split spell.
Inserting her sword to the ground, Selina cast, ”Vine rush!”
Whooooosh! Whooooosh! Whooooosh!
Thick vines appeared under Selina's feet and shot towards the direction of the incoming Earth Split spell.
”What can that even do to help you?!” Osborne sneered after seeing Selina's action. The Vine rush spell might be in the same level as his Earth Split spell, but when comparing the effect of the two, the latter is clearly much more effective. The reason for that is because the vines need a ground to be their foothold, but due to the Earth Split spell, all the grounds nearby Selina would get farther and farther away from her. Hence, her Vine Rush spell would be redirected towards another direction as the vines would follow the ground's trajectory.
”Just watch!” Selina responded dismissively.
”Suit yourself,” Osborne shrugged his shoulder off.
Not long after, the Earth Split spell and the Vine rush spell clashed with each other. However, because they were of entirely different Magic Element and their characteristic could not counter each other. Thus, neither of the two was significantly affected.
The Earth Split spell still continued moving towards Selina's direction. In contrast, the Vine Rush spell split apart following the ground that moved apart from each other. Though this still didn't change its momentum, as it still rushed towards Osborne's direction, albeit they are now coming from two different directions.
”Intending for a scissor attack? Unfortunately, that would still not do anything to me,” Osborne said before spreading both of his hands to his two sides. Afterward, he cast, ”Earth Sphere!”
Whoooosh! Whoooosh!
However, this Earth Sphere spell was distinctively different from the usual Earth Sphere spell as it didn't form a sphere shape from the ground. Instead, it formed into something akin to a wave.
With two wave-like earth walls blocking Osborne's sides, the Vine Rush spell was instantly stopped, unable to reach his location.
After stopping the Vine Rush spell, Osborne's attention quickly returned to Selina. He murmured, ”Now, let me see what you intend to do,”
BOOOOOOM!
As soon as the Earth Split spell reached Selina, the ground underneath her immediately split apart. With no way to escape, her figure instantly started falling.
But what Osborne soon after saw when the ground underneath Selina's feet split apart instantly made him surprised. What appeared was a few intertwining roots that formed something like a stair leading back to the surface.
”How surprising!” Osborne was really not expecting for something like that to appear under Selina. No wonder she had cast a Vine Rush spell despite knowing already that it wouldn't be able to do that much to him. This was because it wasn't intended to attack him from the start, but instead, it was to create a foothold for her to land onto after falling and climb back up.
Nevertheless, nothing still changed on Osborne's expression. He raised his hand and pointed it towards the intertwining vines while saying, ”But don't think that it would just be that easy for you to escape from my Earth Split spell!”
In the next moment, Osborne cast, ”Fireball!”
Whooosh! Whooosh! Whoooosh!
