Chapter 340 - 340: Searching for The Holy Beast of Wind, Rampaging Garuda part 4 (1/2)

[At the cursed land]

[Lara and Nara point of view]

Mirage mirror. A mirage spell capable of reproducing anything that are reflected to it. The spell main advantage is that, it's capable of overturning the tide of a battle trough advantage in number. Of course, the clone wouldn't be nearly as powerful as the original, and the clone will disappear should it takes enough damage, or after a certain period of time, or the caster mana dwindle or the caster die

Still, given how the curse land is brimming with the mana of mirage, light and dark, the mirage portion amplify the spell further, and since the devil mirage wolves takes advantage of it, the number of devil canines keep on coming nonstop.

One after another, the mirage wolves bare it fangs toward us.

””Sickles of wind. Protect us!!”” [Lara, Nara]

A wind spell, shaping itself as sharp sickles, surround both of us, cutting through any mirage clones that tried to get near us. We put even greater amount of mana than usual as to make it stay longer, as well as to cut down the enemies numbers

””From below!!”” [Lara, Nara]

Or more specifically, from our faint shadows. It's night, but the full moons are bright enough that our shadows can houses the night stalker. A dog of pure darkness, with only prominent part being the full red eyes without any pupils. A creature of pure darkness that is weak to light magic, and so

””Light chandelier!!”” [Lara, Nara]

We gather our mana and form a massive chandelier that illuminate our surrounding, trying to kill every last one of it, but

””Tough”” [Lara, Nara]

Not only it's tough, but it's intelligent enough to use the mirage mirror to duplicate some clones, and the clones make suicidal attempts on tainting the chandelier with it own body. One by one, although small, it leave a blackish spot that blocks the light from the chandelier magic, and just in under five seconds, the chandelier light is there no more

Without mentioning a word, both of us quickly scan our main target, the true bodies of the pack of mirage wolves. If we want to escape from this canine nightmare, we have to first kill the mirage wolves

””Whip of fire and thunder”” [Lara, Nara]

Launching a wide range spell, the whip of fire and thunder hit every foes indiscriminately. From the small earthly jackals to the large three headed cerberus. None are spared from it

~Bark~

The hell hound however, quickly eat the fire portion of the whip, and as for the thunder coyotes, it redirect the attack back to us, multiplying it by two folds, but unfortunately for the thunder coyotes, us homunculus can simply absorb the mana

((This is... Are they toying with us??)) [Lara, Nara]

They aren't like wild animals or monsters, hungry for food, but rather, they're actually toying with us, trying to waste our mana and stamina so that...

((So that the hunter devil can finish us in one go)) [Lara, Nara]

That seems to be the likely case here. If that's the case
