Chapter 335: The Sun Against the Land and Seas (1/2)
Listening to what Argentum told them, Rosalia and Felix could not help but look at each other, wondering what he was going to say to Melzarin. Nevertheless, they knew that the more unstable variable in this mess was Eleanor, so they agreed with his plans and headed to where Eleanor was. On the other hand, Argentum used all of the strength in his body to separate himself from Felix at high speeds, making sure to head to where Melzarin is.
Bang! Bang!
With Felix and Rosalia being incredibly strong and Argentum using the element of free fall to his advantage, the three of them landed in the areas they wanted to go at nearly the same time, confusing the two that were currently fighting.
”What the hell are you two doing here?!” With Felix and Rosalia in front of her all of a sudden, Eleanor's fiery aura gradually subsided as she asked. Not long after, she looked over at Melzarin's side, noticing that Argentum was in front of him. Noticing this, she had an idea as to what was going on.
”Eleanor, we just want you to stop fighting against Melzarin for a bit,” Felix said in response as a large blob of water coalesced around his body, forming a layer of water armor. Rosalia continued where Felix left off, her skin giving off a light brown sheen as she said, ”We're sisters, right? I know you hate Melzarin to the bones, but can you listen to us for a while?”
”So, I take it that you two are on Melzarin's side?” Unlike what they were expecting, Eleanor's fiery aura intensified after listening to their words, thinking that the two wanted to help Melzarin accomplish whatever nefarious deed he wanted to do to her. In response, Rosalia hastily replied as she waved her hands in disapproval, ”That's not it! We just want you to—!”
Fwoosh!
Before Rosalia could even finish her response, Eleanor dashed towards the two without hesitation as a large fireball was conjured over her right palm. Aiming to throw the fireball at point blank range, she then said with a hint of fury, ”Your excuses mean nothing to me. If you want me to listen to you, then beat me first!”
”[Ignitio Overdrive: Hellbound Chiliocosm]!”
Just as Rosalia was about to retaliate against Eleanor's attack with a defensive move, Felix hastily appeared in front of her as a spear made out of water appeared in his hands. Summoning all of the energy inside his body towards the tip of his spear, he shouted at Rosalia, ”Enhance my combat power as much as possible!”
”[World Rejuvenation Art: Boundless Proliferation]!” Without even thinking twice, Rosalia listened to Felix's words and used the strongest enhancement skill she had in his arsenal, instantly directing the power towards Felix. Feeling a massive surge in his combat power, Felix then unhesitatingly slashed with his spear in an X pattern, making sure that Eleanor's fireball would be affected.
”[Tsunami Piercer]!”
Bang! Pssh!
At the very instant the two attacks collided, a massive explosion occurred on Eleanor's side, sending her flying a few meters away as she was unprepared for it. As for Felix and Rosalia, they hastily created a barrier in front of the explosion, removing their need of retreating a few meters back.
Seeing that Eleanor was sent flying, the two looked at each other as they pondered as to whether or not they should get closer to her. Fortunately, that question was instead answered by Eleanor as she hastily got up, the flames around her gradually turning black as the dress she was wearing had become more exquisite in design.
Noticing this, Felix and Rosalia knew what was happening to her, prompting them to simultaneously let out a sigh as Felix looked at Rosalia and said, ”As the one nicknamed 'Mother of Earth', I'll leave it up to you to defend me from counterattacks, okay?”
As the aura of earth surrounding her continued to solidify into a layer of heavy armor, Rosalia let out a light chuckle in response as she replied, ”Then I'll leave it up to you on the offensive, Grand Blue Master.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Without giving Eleanor time to think, the two of them dashed closer to Eleanor, utilizing the buffs Argentum had applied to them beforehand. In response, Eleanor hastily conjured an array of dark flames behind her, aiming to send it towards them in a barrage. Unfortunately for her, the two expected to see that coming from her, with Rosalia concentrating a massive amount of Earth energy around Eleanor's feet before instantly solidifying it.
”[Mountain Bind]!”
Whoosh!
As if those dark flames were a facade, all of it had disappeared in an instant as Eleanor felt that her connection with the elements in surroundings was impaired. Try as she might, Eleanor could not even summon any flames at the moment to protect herself, to which Felix used to his advantage.
Utilizing the spear he had conjured before, he channeled a great portion of energy towards it as a magic circle with a couple of layers appeared in front of it. Soon after, he threw this spear towards Eleanor as the speed of the spear had intensified multiple times even though the distance between them wasn't enough to achieve such speeds.
”[Tsunami Piercer Variant: Raging Torrent]!”
Fwoosh!
At such a speed, it was highly unlikely for Eleanor to dodge the attack. But contrary to what they were expecting, a light chuckle came out of Eleanor's mouth as she manipulated the dark flames on her dress to cover the spear, surprisingly corroding the energy forming the spear. Before it could even touch a single flame on Eleanor, the spear had disintegrated to pieces, giving the latter the time to retaliate as the two were in great shock.
Whoosh!
Using the same method as before, Eleanor removed the shackles made of earth binding her, hastily distancing herself from the two as fast as possible as the flames making up her dress had undergone another transformation. If one looked closely, the dark flames now had a hint of white to them, giving off the feeling that if one touched even a small wisp of it, death would be their only outcome.
