37 Raid 2 (1/2)

A magic user, such as a mage, if put in front of a dragon, was like comparing an ant with a human! The latter could easily squash the former in seconds.

However, Allen wasn't using the (Erchian Dagger) this time. He eyed the mage, and the mage also checked every of his movements.

Nobody dared to attack first. The mage didn't dare to as Allen could easily find an opening from his spells. Allen didn't dare to, as the mage might rain down his spells on him.

Everything was on a standstill...

-fwoom-

They magic user made his move in a flash. The mage sent out fire energy balls, it was his basic attack! Meanwhile, Allen backed off and sent out (Dagger Flash)es to intercept the energy balls.

-boom-

The energy balls exploded in contact with Allen's (Dagger Flash), but the latter kept going towards the mage!

The mage noticed the incoming (Dagger Flash)es and dodged them one by one. It could already be seen that this mage knew how to battle.

On the other hand, Allen was inwardly joyful, because he now knew that this mage focused on fire type spells.

How did he know? It was because the basic attack of the mage has something to do with fire. For example, if a magic user, focused learning on fire spells, the essence of fire would seep into his staff and his basic attack, which was a normal energy ball, would get the fire attribute.

The fire element was known for being great at inflicting damage while potentially hurting an enemy for a small period of time.

However, the next thing that occurred made Allen's eyelids twitch. The room noticeably got hotter and hotter, which made the kid sweat profusely.

Meanwhile, the mage grinned and sent out more fire energy balls. This time, they were bigger and faster. The athmospheric condition of the area strengthened the power of the fire energy balls.

The kid immediately dodged and backed off until his back touched the walls.

-hss-

”Ack...”, Allen felt a stinging heat from the walls which made him distance a bit far from it. If the kid wasn't wearing the enchanted clothes right now, he would've collapsed due to the excessive heat.

-fwoosh-

The way back to the previous room was suddenly sealed by a metal door. Making Allen's last path of retreat unavailable.

The mage chanted out a spell and waved his staff towards Allen.

-fwoom- -whoosh-

A wave of fire formed and rushed towards the kid! With the boost of the hot temperature in the surroundings, the flames got brighter and brighter the farther from the mage.

Allen sensed an impending doom, when saw the fire wave, he knew even if every part of his body was covered with the enchanted clothes, he would still be burned to death.

The kid wasted no time and got out of the way of the wave, but as soon as he got out of the way, another wave was coming towards him, which prompted him to dodge it too. However, he didn't notice that the mage has already finished charging his staff and sent out his third spell.

-fwoosh-

The mage sent out a charged fire energy ball, it was his third spell, it might sound simple, but it was more powerful than one could imagine.

Allen didn't have enough time to act and only got to use his arms to block the charged fire energy ball.

-bang-

-hss-

The kid was thrown back towards the wall and felt the wrenching heat of the wall at his back again.

”Hiss...”

Afterwards, Allen fell onto the ground and left a crack on the wall, while his arms felt like it was burning. He thought, 'Why do I always encounter powerful enemies?'

The first time, he encountered Warren and suffered a defeat. The second time, he battled with the barbarian and almost died because of being caught off guard. The third time, was when he encounted the dragon, but survived due to the help of the people from the remnant village.

If one would see in one's own eyes, he won most of them. However, in Allen's perspective, he really didn't win any of them by his own power.

'No... it's because I'm still too weak!', the kid realized. The reason why he won most of them and was still alive was because there were other people or things to help him, but now, he was alone! He knew he has made a mistake.

-fwoosh-
