13 Battle with Elemental Drakes | Part III (1/2)

†††

”I can't blame you, I would be angry if somebody will take someone I cherish too.”

When I hardened my fists and focused all the nearby mana, the fire drake jumped and moved like it is floating while looking so proudly down on me.

”Detecting two sentries. Force analysis. Processing.” I can feel Sprigg's annoyance while saying her announcement through my head.

”What do you mean?” I asked her.

”I can sense another drake using another element when the fire drake jumped. I don't think it learned how to propel itself using the heat force since I can detect air element supporting it.”

”So, you mean there is another elemental drake that is not showing?” I baffled.

”Affirmative. Analysis complete. The air drake seems to have knowledge how to thin out its mana and turn itself undetectable and invisible to the naked eye.” she confirmed.

”Is that how you use your invisibility skill, Sprigg?” I asked her again to make sure we understand our opponent's way to turn invisible.

”Negative. I am using a skill. The drake is using a trick.” She denied what I thought.

Such a nuisance. All I can see is a fire drake and its raging fire starting to decorate the trees with fire. Damn! It is planning to burn all the trees while fighting with me. I respect how you want to fight me but I can't let you do that! I started to focus my mana with the water element nearby and sprinkled it to extinguish the fire that is slowly consuming the trees. In the first place, I am not here to destroy the forest but give the other living beings a chance to thrive and continue to live and also for my sake. However, this beast isn't really giving any interest as long as it defeats me.

”Completing analysis. Locating the air drake,” she spoke through my head while I am busy extinguishing all the flame that the fire drake is pouring out. Sprigg said that she wants to know where the air drake is. So, I let her focus on getting the air drake's location first while I safeguard the protection of the forest. This damn beast is ludicrous. This is very annoying!

”Do you really loathe me that much? Huh!?! Just because I fought and slain your comrades? This is a battle after all!” I shouted and kept going.

”Sharing information through the shared link.” The instant she whispered that I began obtaining all the knowledge Sprigg spoke about. I can see the air drake hiding at the back of the fire drake while keeping its mana dispersed in the air, or rather it acts as a shield to them. That's amazing. I never knew you can also do that through air magic. Such a splendid view. I mean, what I am seeing right now is although the outline of the air drakes form as the dragon-like existence it is thinner than what I thought. You can only compare it like a scrawny dragon-like that is regularly supporting the fire dragon as if it's riding it and shielding it too. I guess I can't use the same trick when I fought the stone drake, huh.

”This will be a troublesome fight.” I murmured.

I am accessing Sprigg's battle strategy through the shared link while I am looking at the two elemental drakes that seemed to fuse into one entity afloat. These strategies are brutal and nasty. ”How in God's bone are you able to come up with these strategies, Sprigg?” I asked her as I furrowed my brows.
