173 Evolving Lightning Flash (2/2)

[The contact... feels off?]

As she laid on the floor, he retracted his legs and noticed that his legs had never hit her face, it ended up hitting a small wind shield which she had formed at the last second.

[Oi... You've got to be kidding me, right?]

John's electric speed boost suddenly ran out, he wouldn't be able to activate it for another minute due to how much strain it put on his body.

As he and Master Sylvia moved in to finish her off now that she was on the ground, her eyes began glowing an even brighter red than before.

The moment Master Sylvia's dagger was about to reach the girl, she said it.

”Level 3.”

In that instant, the shape of her pupil changed into an X and as this happened, Another wind burst came out of her which pushed back both John and Master Sylvia.

This burst of wind was followed by flames which began to surround her along with a water lance which was formed right above her.

John watched as she got up, without so much of a wound on her, he began to wonder if they could really beat something like that.

While John hadn't sustained any wounds either, only a few cuts, which he quickly healed after with 'Sana' He couldn't see himself winning the battle, no, more than that, he couldn't see any of them surviving.

John could feel how vast her magic power had gotten; it had suddenly leaped in levels the moment she said the word 'Level 3'

[So she can increase her level? Is this the highest level? If not, then how are we-]

Suddenly, the girl vanished from John's line of sight, knowing that an attack was coming, John tried to jump to the side, but he wasn't fast enough.

[Fulgura-]

The girl with her spear was now in front of him, with a thrust in motion heading straight to John. He wasn't going to make it in time, Just how, how did she move so fast?

The spear suddenly stopped right in front of John's belly as he formed a wind shield in the last second, but it was incomplete, she pierced right through it.

[Cra-]

Suddenly, John felt a push to the side. Not a weak one, but a strong and hard one.

[...Eh...? What... just... happened?]

He turned to see what had happened, when he did his eyes widened.

The one who pushed him was Master Sylvia, she had a spear impaled in her stomach.

The moment the girl pulled out the spear, Master Sylvia coughed out blood and collapsed to her knees, John tried to move as fast as he could to stop her.

[Fulgurationem]

John's hair rose and he desperately rushed straight at her, with Lightning Flash.

[I can make it!]
