62 The Distress! (1/2)

The battles in the surroundings continued as only the Leader Podas, and Duke Edwin paid attention to the fight between Ozul and the Fire Mage.

The few meters snake long crept towards the Fire Mage in a blinding speed. The Mage could not believe his eyes that something can move so fast when slithering.

He fired a couple of Fire Balls at the snake, but they all missed. At the critical point, the snake would just change its direction dodging the attack.

Ozul did not let the Fire Mage think of a counter as the snake appeared before him in just a matter of seconds.

Now that the snake was in close range, the Fire Mage was confident that a considerably massive Fire Ball would blast it away.

However, he did not think that just when the pitch-black snake was a few meters away from him, it split into hundreds of smaller snakes.

Ozul was just looking for an opening in his defenses. And the time when the Mage fired Fire Ball was the perfect opening.

Because most Mages required a few moments before they could cast another Spell, and that small delay in the battle was fatal!

Hence, Mages were quite weak in close combat. Once you are in the range, it's your win!

This opportunity was exactly what Ozul needed to end the battle quickly. He could not afford to waste his time fighting while his leg gets sucked dry!

The snakes scattered and sped towards the Mage; even if he had the time to chant another Spell, he could not think of any to stop so many of them in a short time!

The Fire Mage took a few steps back unconsciously, but the small snakes moved like bullets and struck the Mage.

Before long, like some lethal poison, the snakes cut through the Mage's skin like butter and entered inside his bloodstream disregarding all the strengthening Spells that he had put on himself.

However, when the Fire Mage saw that all hope was lost, he immediately chanted a suddenly a Fire Pillar emerged where Ozul stood!

But the 'poison' seemed to be made from some grandmaster alchemist. In the blink of an eye, the Mage dropped dead on the ground!

All he could do in the last moment of his life was to also take down his enemy with him by attacking with that last Fire Pillar.

The Fire Pillar died out the second after the Fire Mage was killed. It all happened in just mere seconds, so the Spell did not last for a long time.

When the fire died out, Ozul's figure emerged. His clothes were tattered as there were burns everywhere on his body.

It was Ozul's mistake that he let down his guard when he thought that his enemy could not fight back! But this blunder occurred mostly because of the increasing headache.

He could not think straight with the head-splitting pain and the anxiety of losing his 'self'.

Even a minute had not passed before the fight between a Rank-7 Mage and Ozul ended with the later's victory.

Even though this was the case, Ozul knew that the fight concluded in such a short time only because the Rank-7 Mage was not a Fighter.

Moreover, the battle also left him in bad condition. The headache was already a distraction, but now he had to bear the pain of the burns as well.

At this time, Duke Edwin and Leader Podas were both in the flying in the sky, having an intense battle.
