82 Chapter 30: Rapier (1/2)
With every step I took I could feel just how much I've pushed myself...
Fighting the first 3 guys was one thing but this victor guy, he was definitely something else, hopefully he doesn't encounter those three, but even if he does, they should be able to hold him off
”*Thud* Ouch” I said as I hit my face on the tree in front of me
I keep getting distracted... as if the vines, trees and roots weren't enough of a reminder...
”Forget that, I'm nearly there...” I muttered
After all this time I'm finally close to one of them, who's it gonna be? Serena? Ariel or eleanor?
With each step I got closer and closer until finally
”That's...”
In between in front of me, stood eleanor. I was behind one of the bushes so she couldn't see me.
”El-”
Before I could finish I felt a spell being activated
Where?!
Just when I was about to react and pinpoint the spell, I heard someone say ”Boom.”
Oh cra-
*Boom*
------------------------------------------------------------
*Boom*
”Ah!” Unintenionally let out Serena as she sprung up and felt goosebumps travel through her whole body
”What was that...” Muttered Serena as she climbed up the trees
From the highest point she surveyed the Area,
The instant she did, she noticed that there was a large amount of black smoke coming off an area
”Smoke..? An explosion?” She said
[John can't use explosion magic, and I'm a bit tired after all the fights, so... ]
[But still... Why do I feel like I should check it out...]
”Even if it was him, John can handle himself, there's no point in worrying about it.” Said Serena as she stretched out her legs
She sat down on one of the branches of the tree
”But rather, this is a nice view...”
The pure green colour of the trees merged together and gave it healthy feel, the bright yellow sand on the outside shined as it reflected the sunlight, truly a good view
”The smoke is ruining the view... How long will that last?”
[You can't set fire to the forest because the trees are resistant to fire. I tested it and nothing happened, the flames didn't spread and disappeared shortly after.]
Serena, stared straight at the smoke, forcing her eyes to see even further than they were able to
”No luck... I can't see anything... And on second thought, I'll go... I'll have to teach a lesson to whoever did that about preserving nature!” Said Serena with a smile as she stood up
*Crack*
”Eh?”
The sound of something cracking was made and shortly after the branch which she stood on, broke
Serena and the branch fell straight down
----------------------------------------------------------------
A guy huh...
”Why does my magic always make so much smoke... What's worst is that it takes so much magic power...” He muttered
Another unique magic user...
”But man, I wonder if I got her... Simple spells weren't working so setting up the trap, was the best option, Since she right into it, all I need to do is go collect her badge.”
Deprehendre
”Wait... If she fell right into it...”
There...
”Then doesn't that mean...”
Glacies lanceam Translation: Ice lance
”She's dead!”
Right as he said that, I propelled straight at him from the inside of smoke, I could clearly see his location thanks to deprehendre
”!”
*Crackle* *Crackle* *Crackle*
… They all missed, no... He dodged them. Did he feel it coming...?
”Oi... Whoever's hididng in the smoke you can come out now, I know you both weren't knocked out by the explosion”
He's smarter than he acts...
The smoke started to disperse, and shortly after, it had disappeared completely. Thanks to that, he could see us clearly just like we could see him.
A tall spiky red haired guy, who seemed to be on his 16s, he was teenager, no doubt.
”Ice..?” He muttered as he stared at the ice sphere I had formed
Shortly after he said that, it broke down
Inside was me and Eleanor, we both had our guards up
I'm surprised my ice sphere managed to tank that explosion. Although it's mainly thanks to the continuous supply of magic I gave it to harden it and make it denser...
