174 My aunt wants to kill me II (1/2)

Marcus would deal with his father and the wind mage while Lilith would handle Mia and some random knight.

This left Ellie to be the one facing the remaining members of the opposing team.

She wasn't all that excited about the idea honestly, not because she didn't want to hurt her aunt's memory projection, but because she didn't know if she would be able to. Everyone and their mothers would always talk about how Evlin was one of the most powerful mages to ever appear. Not just because she was from planet Earth and the people from there appeared to have a much better grasp on how to perform magic, but also because her poll of spells was unlike any other.

Even if this was still just the young Evlin of when she was just fifteen, she still was a master on earth magic, modeling magic, and healing magic. If Ellie wanted to beat her, she would need to bring out her best strategy possible.

While the girl kept dashing through the forest of blue leaves, she began to listen to the sound of something approaching from behind her.

”What the… Oh my Lord!!!” she shouted as she turned around to spot a massive display of raw magic coming right at her.

She created a huge diamond pillar from below her feet and used it to push her up in order to avoid it.

She managed to land on a tree branch and watched as the blast kept tearing the forest apart piece by piece.

”Whoa… I'm not sure if I can absorb that… Good God...” Ellie muttered as she used this chance to catch her breath.

She tried to lean on the branch to rest for a bit and suddenly saw the image of a warrior with both arms raised while holding a silver weapon and about to strike her with extreme prejudice.

”Oh shoot!!!” Ellie grumbled as she raised her arms to block the strike after turning them into blades as well. Sadly, the impact was stronger than she expected and the branch ended up breaking apart.

The girl began to fall from the tree and noticed the ground coming closer and closer towards her. At that moment, her future sight that only worked when she was in grave danger began to activate and she saw a couple of possible outcomes.

First, she ended up smashed against the ground and breaking all her bones.

”Next!!” she yelled, trying to order the power to show another solution.

This time, she saw herself trying to use the diamond pillars to latch onto and stop her fall. But she was moving so fast that it would be impossible to grab a hold of a diamond without tearing her arm off.

”Next!! Next!! Hurry!!”

Finally, she saw herself making her whole body turn into metal and crashing against the soil unfazed and unscratched.

”I can turn my whole skin into metal??” she asked herself. She then noticed that she was almost about to hit the floor, ”Agh!! Time to find out!!”

She moved her legs towards the ground and successfully landed just as she predicted.

”Sweet!!! Unbreakable skin!!” the girl yelled in victory while giving a fist bump towards the sky. She was then surprised to see that the warrior from before was still coming after her and she gave a huge leap to get away from his landing spot, and the second he touched the ground, Ellie turned her arms into a pair of silver crossbows and unleashed a barrage of silver arrows.

”Say cheese!!”

The warrior tried to used his speed that was being boosted by the blessed weapon provided by Marceus to repel the rain of arrows, but while he kept focusing on defending himself, Ellie slowly started to approach him one step at a time.

Once she was inches away from him, the girl turned one of her arms back to normal and grabbed hold of the knight's hand. The man tried to slash her hand off, but her skin was still covered in metal and was impossible to scratch.

He finally stopped wailing his blade like an animal when Ellie grabbed his other hand, and after she gave a long lean back, she headbutted the warrior with her full power, making him fall unconscious on the ground.

Ellie used this chance to grab his blade and tried to absorb it as she would often hear Marcus could do, and just like that, the weapon was gone making the fallen man a much smaller threat.

”Nice! One down-”

Before she could finish, her aunt shot the ground below her, creating a huge explosion of earth and making Ellie fly high up into the sky. She began to twirl like a boomerang after being launched by the impact and the last thing she remembers was seeing the second knight coming right at her and smacking her entire self against the ground, making a small crater in the process.

”Guahhhh!!!”

The impact made her black-out for a split-second and forced her to turn off her metal skin. The girl finally came to her senses and once she emerged from the hole, she was met by the cold gaze of her aunt and the second knight.

”-two to go… Oh, boy...”

Evlin and her ally began to charge at Ellie, but the girl acted faster and slammed her palms against the ground to make several pillars emerge and try to stab her two opponents.

Evlin used her speed that was being enhanced by her healing magic to easily dodge the attack and successfully managed to reach Ellie and smacked her in the face after turning her crossbow into a gauntlet made of wood.
