Chapter 57: Behemoth (2/2)

This was the best time to gain more control and he would take full advantage of it. A massive wall of stone shot out from the ground a few feet ahead of him, it was wide enough to cover his entire field of view. Tyler quickly moved to the side knowing fully well that this wasn't enough to stop her spell.

The lightning shattered the center of the stone wall and penetrated through the hole it created in less than a second, before finally being stopped by the enchanted walls in the hall. However, the few seconds his wall had bought him was all Tyler needed. Avoiding the attack head-on would have caused her to launch an immediate follow-up attack while giving her a false notion that he intended to defend against the attack allowed him some precious time to prepare.

All the spells Tyler wanted to test he had just learned and would need some time to create and imprint the magic circle on his Mana body before he could cast them with just a word. He had done the same for the fireball he had used in the fight against the lesser basilisks back at the settlement. He created the magic circle when he had wanted to roast the red hawk meat.

Tyler hurriedly created the magic circle of a spell before quickly casting it. ”Magic Arrows.” Another surge of energy left his body creating over a hundred magic Arrows which filled the air around him and shot at Rain in an instant. The spell magic Arrow could normally only create about three to five arrows since it was a tier 1 spell so when everyone had seen Tyler's version creating over a hundred, it was no exaggeration to say they were dumbfounded.

Rain, having destroyed the wall of stone created by Tyler had no intentions of making a reckless pursuit without any preparations. She made use of the extra time to cast some enhancement spells on herself.

Mythical Hardening.

Greater Dexterity.

Geater Fire Resistance.

Haste.

Protection against Negative Energy.

She knew he could use a high-level fire spell from listening to Liz and Erin speak so she prepared herself for a fight against a fire magic swordsman. Preparing her next attack she saw Tyler come out from behind the half stone wall and cast a spell of his own.

Countless white arrows appeared in the air and shot at her with great speed, they quickly appeared in her view before she could even blink. Rain quickly jumped sideways to avoid the spell, it had taken her by a bit of surprise as she didn't know anyone could create that many arrow within a single attempt.

”Water Barrier.” She stretched out her left arm and a wall of thin water layer formed spiraling in front of her and absorbed the few arrows that had cornered her. She immediately raised her other arm and cast another spell at Tyler.

”Thunder Ball!”

A massive ball of electricity appeared in the air and shot out at Tyler with the deafening clap of thunder, making the spectators cover their ears. Tyler watched the massive ball of electricity come at him helplessly, the spell had a large area of effect so he wasn't sure he could avoid it completely.

Tyler then turned his head and looked at a spot behind Rain, his ring trembled slightly and he disappeared from his spot just as the ball of electricity had charred the marbled floor black. Arriving behind Rain, Tyler cast another spell he had just finish creating the Mana circle of.

Flame Sphere.”

A 5-foot-diameter sphere of fire appeared in the hall with Rain as its epicenter. Tyler tried his best to rein in his Mana but the spell had still gone beyond a simple tier two spell. The heat was so intense he started to even sweat a little.

Tyler knew she would be unable to dodge or use a defensive spell and wasn't really trying to kill her but right now he was beginning to think he had gone overboard. However, what she did next shocked him.

Without any hesitation or even sparing a thought for the scorching flames around her, Rain swiftly turned around and lunged at him with her dagger drawn, she was unable to dodge or defend against the flames but with her Tier 6 fire Resistance spells active, she barely even felt the heat.

The Flames soon disappeared after Rain had exited its range, brandishing her weapon at Tyler before he could even recover from the shock. Although she was annoyed by the fact that she had drawn out her weapon first, she no longer had any intentions of holding back.

”Spiritual Daggers.”

Several illusionary black blades appeared hovering around her and she picked up one of them to wield in her off-hand while the rest occasionally moved on their own as she continued her ferocious barrage of attacks.

Tyler narrowly avoided the sudden attacks by the dark elf and tried to create some distance between them by taking wide strides backward but Rain's pursuit was relentless and she wouldn't let him get away. Her attacks only got harder to dodge when the illusionary daggers had appeared.

He had no weapons and she was incredibly fast. Faster than Liz to be honest and Tyler had to focus to avoid her vicious swings. Even though he was still faster than she was, her movement techniques and grace, coupled with her beautiful swordsmanship and his amateurish techniques made her more than keeping up with him.

Rain swung her blades at him several times in quick succession, even while controlling several weapons at once, it didn't seem to affect her attack pattern at all. She twisted her upper body slightly, her legs spun soon after performing a spinning back kick that carried traces of a silvery-white aura.

°Bandinshing Kick.°

A wave of the sliver aura gusted out at Tyler, who was too close to dodge the wide rage attack, Tyler used his new skill once more. Spatial Movement, and appeared several feet away from the attack. He then used another spell he had finally managed to complete the magic circle on even under such onslaught.

”Darkness.”
