Chapter 30 - The End Of The First Battle (1/2)

Whoosh.

A green magic circle instantly appeared beneath Fien, and the next moment a thorny ivy coiled around her body. It was the spell of Summoning Magic, which Evan decided to use as his trump card.

Unlike ”Magic Missile” and ”Ice Veil”, the ”Summon Thorny Ivy” could immobilize a victim for a while. It did little or no damage, just a few scratches at most. But that wasn't its main purpose.

Fien hadn't expected this to happen, and she didn't have enough strength to break free of the plant's grip quickly.

Whoosh.

Evan was instantly in front of the girl and swung his icy sword at her.

The blow was powerful and lightning fast. It could have easily killed Fien, and in theory, Marcel and Zak should have stopped Evan, but they did nothing.

Swing.

Evan inflicted her a terrible wound. The blood quickly gushed out, and Fien's face contorted in great pain. But, even then, their fight continued as if nothing had happened, and the next moment Evan understood why.

While he was attacking Fien, he didn't even notice a green magic circle very similar to his had appeared on the ground behind him. It was Fien's spell, which she had cast with the last of her strength.

Whoosh.

After Evan struck, a thick, sharp tree root emerged from the magic circle. It instantly pierced Evan's chest.

<What the?!>

The young man felt incredible pain, and his mouth was already filled with blood.

<Damn, I didn't expect her to dare to do that.>

However, he had no intention of giving up. Clenching his teeth firmly, he turned around and chopped the root in two.

He was in real agony, but that didn't stop him from doing the next thing.

Despite the pain, he pulled the remaining piece of root out of himself, grabbed it tightly and attacked Fien with it. The girl had no more aces up her sleeve: she had no strength or mana left.

At that moment, Evan didn't think that his blow could kill Fien, he just intended to pierce her neck with that root. The sharp end of the root had already reached Fien's neck and it was only at that moment that Evan realized that he was about to kill her.

Whoosh.

Suddenly he felt like he was trying to move a whole mountain. Evan couldn't move his arm. It was as if he faced an insurmountable obstacle.

”That's enough, boy, you`ve won, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.” It was Zak, who appeared beside Evan in a split second and gripped his arm tightly. Crimson flames were burning brightly around his feet.

Evan smiled slightly, tossed the root and sword aside, and fell to the floor without effort. The Thorny Ivy, immobilizing Fien, was gone, and their battle was finally over.

Zak went back to Marcel to make fun of him.

<This guy is not bad. He outperforms Fien by a whole level, and this cruelty to himself and his opponent is beyond the praise.>

Marcel was not upset that Fien had lost. On the contrary, he was glad that she had come face to face with such an unusual opponent. Thanks to this encounter, she was able to learn a lot.

”Marcel, stop hovering in the clouds. They're bleeding and dying right here, AHAHA.”

Zak was right. Evan had inflicted a terrible wound on Fien, and Evan's own chest was pierced and the blood wouldn't stop pouring out.

However, Zak wasn't worried about their condition at all.

Hearing his voice, Marcel emerged from his musings.

”Yes, you're right,” Marcel said quietly.

He slowly stood up and spread his hands apart, palms up.

Whoosh.

Two small pale green magic circles appeared next to Evan and Fien.

Unlike Zak, who was the ”Amplifier”, Marcel was the ”Summoner”. For him, healing Fien and Evan's wounds was a piece of cake.
