40 Escaping (2/2)

Having taken care of his injuries, he focuses on the Magus. Erick had managed to consume a potion that heals some of his wounds, but unfortunately for him, the damage on his consciousness was not so easy to heal, and the attack of Ezequiel and Sophia did not stop at any time.

”A.I. chip scan him!” Normally, the chip could not scan a Magus due to the protective effect of their Rank spell and their magnetic force field but now, because of the damage, it was able to do it.

”Bip... scanning target

Name: Erick

Race: Human (Rank 1 Elementium Magus)

Strength: 12.3

Physique:20.3

Agility: 11.2

Spirit Force:46.1”

`As expected from a Rank 1 being, even though he is a pure Elementium Magi, and I bet he has never truly trained his body, his physique is even greater than mine, despite my body being constantly enhanced by the core and my abyss aura,` Despite his attributes being inferior, Zatiel didn't felt that there was anything wrong, after all, it has been less than two years since he became a Neo-Demon and his opponent was a Rank 1 Magus that has lived for hundreds of years.

Zatiel saw how Sophia and Ezequiel were constantly attacking the Magus but he didn't join them, all his attention was on Erick, waiting for the right time to make his move. He didn't have to wait long before he saw how the Magus's face became full of wrath and the energy on his body spiked.

”I will show you insects, the price of making a Magus furious,” Erick consciousness was influenced by the chaotic effect of the abyssal blast and he used his energy without care as he tried to bring out his most powerful spell.

”Now!” The rune in Zatiel forehead activated and his eyes started to bleed. The rune was known as Mind Shock, it allows you to use your consciousness to attack the ones of your enemies. Due to him being rank 0 the effect that it should be almost insignificant, but there is something that helps the consciousness grow in power and that is will, and Zatiel`s will is stronger than Erick`s, that plus the fact that this last one has his consciousness already hurt, makes the outcome obvious.

`What is happening?` Erick didn't understand what was occurring, in a moment he was preparing to launch his spell Meteor Shower, and the next he felt a stake plunging in his brain, his eyes blurring, and lose control over his energy and body. Due to him launching a spell and not controlling the energies, it backfires and harms him but what came next was worst.

The blackout of Erick won't last more than a couple of seconds, that time would not be enough to launch a spell powerful enough to penetrate his Rank Spell, but at this moment Ezequiel acted.

The runes on Ezequiel's legs activated and he flashed at where Erick was, the speed was incredible and even Zatiel was not able to see him before he reaches the Magus.

Erick was recoverin the control over his body when he feels a sword burying in his chest and releasing a huge amount of lightning power destroying his left lung.

”Bastard!” A torrent of flames generates in Erick's hand and was going to reach Ezequiel.

The boy separated immediately after attacking but still, he was too close to dodge the spell, but luckily shields made of ice start to appear in front of him, and although they were disintegrated almost immediately they give him enough time to dodge the flames and get away from the Magus.

Erick didn't follow after Ezequiel, instead, he created hundreds of small ball of fires and throws them at the three.

The attack filled the sky but the damage that it could create was minimal, so it was more an annoyance than a threat.

As Zatiel and the rest were destroying the flames that headed in their direction, Erick puts all that is left from his energy on the ball of flames in his feet and starts flying away. Using the flame teleportation would be more effective but that spell use too much energy and your concentration needed to be unaffected so it was impossible for the moment.

`I need to scape or else I will die,` Although the fight looks like a hard one for both sides, Erick knows that he is the absolute loser, besides the first attack where he was able to hurt Zatiel, he was never truly able to damage any of them, and now one of his lungs was destroyed, he had a fist-sized hole in his stomach, his energy was almost depleted, not to mention the monstrous pain on his head, so his only option was escaping as for honor and courage, since when a Magus as care for that.

As they saw Erick getting away, neither one of them starts to chase him. Both Ezequiel and Sophia look at Zatiel with reverence in their eyes, since the beginning every single thing has happened as he says it will, even the Magus leaving, and now they see how he raises his hand and snap his fingers, sealing the fate of a mighty rank 1 being.
