40 Escaping (1/2)

Erick was hurt and surrounded by attacks in all directions, his Rank Spell was barely functioning and his consciousness was full of voices treating to consume his sanity, but still, he is a rank 1 Magus. He uses all his power to concentrate on evaluating his situation.

`From the three attacks, the ones with a higher degree of damage are the ones in front and back, they are powerful enough to pierce my Rank Spell, but there is something weird in those spikes,` Erick energy was rising and he prepared to launch a spell, with his current condition he could block two of them entirely and one partially.

He was preparing to stop the two people when he realizes the reason for the black glow in those spike. `Magic Penetration!, but how, a rank 0 being can not possibly enhance their spells with this`.

He focuses on the woman covered in a dome of ice at the distance and saw the reason for the uniqueness of the spell, there were the runes in her arms. If he uses a defensive spell to stop these spikes, most of the attacks will be able to trespass it and reach him.

Having understand the nature of the attacks he chose to respond with what he thought was the best option.

Although this takes some time to explain it happen in less than a second.

”Flame repulsion,” A blast of flames originates from him and push away all in his surroundings, having made that most of the power directed to his back, he was able to stop Ezequiel from perforating his lung, but the repulsion that reached Zatiel was not enough and he was able to get closer to the old man.

As for the spikes, they were able to pierce the flames but the Magus raised his hand to launch a spell at them.

”Fire Bolt,” A ball of flames impacted on the spikes and was able to destroy them, but before he could enjoy it, a hand is buried in his stomach burning his insides and generating a monstrous pain.

The pain reached directly to his consciousness and with the previous damage, it almost made him pass out from the agony but taking hold of all his rage, he manages to retain some focus and sees how Zatiel had his fist embedded in his stomach.

”Die, you piece of shit!” From Erick's hand, a blast of flames came out and consume Zatiel throwing him away and making him crash on the ground.

”Master!”

”Zatiel!”

The moment they saw how Zatiel was ravaged by the flames both Ezequiel and Sophia could not help but panic, but luckily all their fear vanished immediately when they heard a voice through their cores.

”Continue with the plan!,” After hearing that order both of them regain their focus and their energies spiked as they attack the Magus.

Ezequiel's eyes were cold as he starts to throw spears of lightning at Erick, moving through the air never stopping making it extremely difficult to land a spell on him.

Sophia was launching her spikes as well, but this time they no longer had Magic Penetration abilities. If she were to continue activating that rank 1 rune, she would be exhausted in a moment.

Erick was able to conjure two of his magma shields, but even so, he was not able to control them well, due to the splitting pain on his head and some of the spells manage to reach his cloak of flames weaken it even more.

`What the hell are this black flames` The most pressing matter for Erick was not the spells that reach him, after all, his rank spell was able to block all attacks inferior to 20 degrees of damages and although it was barely holding, it will withstand some time. The thing that was bothering the most was the voices in his head and the flame that was extending to the rest of his body, if he didn't use his energy to contain it he would have already expanded and covered him entirely.

If Erick was alone he could have easily used all of his energy to expulse the flames, after all, they are formed by a rank 0 spell but now with all his damage and the constant attacks he could barely think much less focus his mind into a concrete task.

Sophia managed to reach the place where Zatiel landed and she used her tentacles of her dome to turn down the fire.

When the flames when extinguished, Zatiel figure could be seen, the chains where gone, they exploited the moment the attack landed as for the armor, it was covered in cracks all over it, his body was full of burn mark and his left arm was missing. It seems as if the damage had been immense but to have received a Magus point-blank attack and just finish with this injury is a miracle.

Zatiel stands up, and takes a pink pill from his sack and consumes it. The moment he does the bleeding started to stop and his complexion gets better instantly.

`Her medicines are really helpful` Both the black pill and the pink pill were the creations of Sophia. Actually, it was thanks to the black pill that the injuries on his body were so little, after all, the attack of Erick almost reached 60 degrees of damage and it was the flame resist attribute of the medicine which protected him from the worst part.
