Chapter 289 - Hands Off my Husband! (1) (1/2)
”Your tone is also similar to than b*astard.” Tenasia screeched in anger. ”Because of him we sirens lost our home in the seas. We, who were the hunter become the hunted. We did not have any other option but to hide inland where they cannot find us that easily.”
My hypothesis is that this clearing was cloaked with an enchantment the sirens made. They will not let anyone come in without their permission. I think when they saw that our group consists mostly of men that they can enchant with their song, they have let us in willingly.
'We were just cattle for the taking.' I thought with gritted teeth.
”I will have my revenge on you, the descendant of that b*astard.” Tenasia said with a wicked smile. ”you are just one little girl. It is your bad luck to have come here. KILL HER!”
*SHRIEK*
The sirens leaped from the water and was about to attack me from all directions. Their nails that looked like claws were all aimed towards me.
”ICE WALL!” I yelled and conjured ice using my magic.
I put up a thick ice wall around me to block the attacks coming my way and it was successful for the first part.
The sirens then used their shrilling voice. The thick ice I have conjured up cracked little by little.
'I cannot stay here for long.' I said to myself.
The sirens are afraid of one, and that is fire. As a member of the royal family of Atlantia, I can use different kind of magic attributes. I particularly have high aptitude in ice magic, and that is why I use it in most cases. But today what I need to use is fire magic.
Regaleon was the one with high aptitude in this element. How I wish that he were conscious right now. I am sure he would know what to do in this kind of situation.
'Wake up Alicia.' I scold myself. 'You are the only one that can do something right now. Snow and Tricia are doing their best fending off the other sirens that were threatening our group mates. For now, you are the only one that can help them.'
I gathered my thoughts and calmed myself down. I was amassing my magic and started to use the fire attribute.
At first, I made fire at my palms and then I started to spread them in my surroundings. The ice at the bottom of my feet started to melt together with the ice wall that I made. By then I started a huge blaze that covered my surroundings.
”FIRE BLAZE!” I conjured the strongest fire magic that I could. Fortunately, it did the trick. The ice I created melted and so I must use wind magic to propel myself up.
”Kyaaahhh!!!” The sirens around me wailed in agony with the heat of the blaze I have created.
I was surprised by using different magic attributes all at once. This was the first time I have ever use wind and fire magic at the same time.
'To think I can use wind magic to hover up in the air.' I had a smile on my face.
I was flying just on top of the lake using wind magic. I was shaky at first, but I was able to get a hang of it, regulating the needed amount of wind to make me afloat and balance my body out.
”What are you waiting for, get her!” Tenasia screamed in rage.
The sirens that were on water looked up at me. They raised their hands and pointed right at me. Their nails that were freakily sharp got longer and then launched right at me like arrows.
'They can do that?!' I was taken by surprise and use my wind magic to move myself. I was now flying freely in the sky.
Unfortunately, some of the nails that flew towards me grazed me on different parts of my body. My night wear that was already torn earlier were now in tatters. The scratches on my body started to bleed a little, but at least it was not a wound that I need to worry about.
”KYAAAAAAHHH!!!” I hear once again the piercing scream. It came from the queen of the sirens herself.
The sound waves were directed on me. I used my wind magic to dodges the sire queen's attack. I was not hit head on, but the sound waves sent me flying out of balance. I crash landed hard by the lake side. My body rolled around the ground and the muddy covered my body.
When I was about to get back up, I was surprised that the sirens were lunging themselves right at me on land. I quickly moved back and use my fire magic to repel the sirens that were about to attack me.
”Fire balls.” I shot the fire balls I made, and it hit the sirens that were about to attack me.
The sirens that I have hit dropped on the ground and their bodies wriggled. The other sirens that were able to dodge my fireballs were now on land. I saw their fish tails started to disfigure, and not long two legs emerged from what was once a fish tail.
”You can grow legs?!” I was shocked with this information.
