Chapter 251: Bitter Fight
Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion
When the demon's scarlet eyes looked at Charlie, Lucien noticed that Charlie's face froze immediately, and the symbols on the magic shield started to swell and break into pieces. Then, the whole shield was destroyed. As soon as the shield was gone, Charlie was enveloped by a heavy black fog.
It happened so fast that neither Lucien nor Sandra managed to take any actions.
After a second, the black fog disappeared all of a sudden. A small black pig showed up at the spot where Charlie was, and it looked beyond lost. Turning around in circles, its thin tail kept wagging.
”Baleful Polymorph!” Sandra's voice came to Lucien's mind through their telepathic bond, ”We need to kill it before it gets out of the brazier!”
At the same time, dark clouds gathered under the celling. Among those clouds, streak lightnings were flashing, turning the whole place into a lightning forest.
The forth-circle spell in the school of Electromagnetics, Lightning Clouds!
A big fireball was created in front of Lucien, and he threw it fiercely at the demon at the center of the magic circle.
The demon might be immune to flame and blast, but the magic circle and the brazier should not. As long as the demon lost its rebirth ability, the sorcerers were confident that they could kill it again.
At the same time, Lucien was being cautious not to cast Elemental Swirl right away before making sure it was effective to do so with the demon, because if the demon was completely spiritual, Elemental Swirl would not only lose its power but also hurt Lucien badly.
The second before the fireball hit the brazier, a dark mist rose, expanded very fast, and devoured the whole room completely, even including the lightning and Lucien's fireball.
However, at the same time, the lightning and fireball also made the mist look quite thinner, as if both sides were fighting for the dominant right of the space.
Sandra's lips were half open, murmuring. The darkness in the space started to be distorted by some kind of invisible power. The lightning showed up again and fused together into a lightning ball. The target of the ball was the center of the room.
The forth-circle spell in Electromagnetics, Distorted Magnetic Field.
Seizing the chance, Lucien pointed his coral staff at the demon and cast the second-circle spell Sadism on it with the assistance of the staff's power. The spell, in the intersection of Astrology, Necromancy and Light-darkness, could build a special connection between a sorcerer and their enemy: when the enemy was hurt, the sorcerer would reach quite a significant improvement on his or her life force, spiritual power, attack and defence, and the enemy would be hurt even further!
At this time, only spells like this could work in this magnetically distorted environment.
When the demon was hit by the lightning ball, it burst out hoarse and terrifying scream.
All of a sudden, Sandra's shadow became alive, and the shadow directly grabbed her ankles and pulled her toward the deeper shadow pit nearby, that looked like a well.
Lucien heard Sandra's scream in his mind, and lots of lightning exploded in the shadow well!
That was totally out of Lucien's expectation. He was about to activate Sun's Corona, and he hesitated for a second—should he save Sandra first or keep attacking the demon?
As soon as Lucien had the two thoughts, he already made the decision. He decided to continue to launch his attack. He had to be prepared for the moment when the demon got rid of the control of Distorted Magnetic Field, so that his spell would not be distorted as well.
The moment when the distortion and lightning completely wore off, the demon covered itself with black fog again, as if it was just prepared for Lucien's attack.
However, somehow, everything suddenly got quiet, silent, more relevant, and the fancy black robe that the demon was wearing cracked. From the crack, rotten flesh covered with white tiny maggots was revealed.
In a corner of the room, Charlie's figure slowly rose. However, the little black pig was still near the room entrance. Charlie looked pale, and his black battle robe was gone. There was a weird-looking book page written with mysterious characters that quickly disappeared in front of the white glove that Charlie was wearing on his right hand.
Lucien recognized it immediately: it was a forth-circle spell in Transformation, Demon Elegy, a exclusive spell from the Congress!
It seemed that Charlie just used some kind of magic buff on his robe or some unique spell and somehow avoided Baleful Polymorph, then he attacked the demon with a totally unexpected strike!
