Chapter 118 - The Roots (1/2)

Whoosh.

The two wind blades headed toward Chloe, and Evan attacked at the same time. Because of Chloe's interference, he was unable to knock Lewis out quickly, so he decided to deal with the girl first.

His combined attack with Gerda should not have left Chloe a chance to win. The girl was just as well aware of that, but she was capable of defending herself even against such an attack.

Whoosh.

Evan instantly approached Chloe and swung his scythe at her. At the same moment, the wind blades were quite close. Chloe turned and attacked Evan. It was hard for the young man to bear the weight of her weapon, but now Chloe was defenseless.

Whoosh.

The girl put more strength in and was able to hold the sword with one hand, she bent her free hand and her ”Warp” spun. The next moment a thick and very strong layer of stone began to appear on her arm.

Bam. Bam.

Two wind blades slammed into her arm, but to everyone's surprise, it didn't hurt her. The stone debris fell to the ground with a rumble, but her hand was unharmed.

<Damn, so she's the kind of person who's completely focused on defense, she's going to be hard to deal with.>

Evan thought to himself and threw another punch, which Chloe quickly blocked. Of all the people Evan wanted to fight, Chloe was one of the toughest opponents. Even if he won, he would spend a great deal of strength and mana trying to penetrate her armor. Moreover, despite her incredible defense, the girl moved quite fast. She hadn't missed any Evan's punch yet.

Evan didn't want to waste much mana, he had already used ”Magic Missile” and ”Ice Veil”. If he didn't watch his mana supply, he might not have any mana at all by the third stage.

<Hmm, Gerda has already used so many spells, how do we beat them quickly?>

Evan attacked Chloe time after time, but none of his attacks reached the girl. Lewis couldn't stop him, since he was fighting Gerda.

<It looks like we'll have to take our chances after all.> Evan thought to himself and at the same moment his ”Warp” spun.

Whoosh.

A green magic circle appeared behind Chloe, and a second later an ivy vine enveloped the girl's leg. The ivy dragged the girl with force, causing her to fall to the ground.

Evan was already beside her, but to Chloe's surprise, he didn't attack her. Evan chose another target, namely Lewis.

Seeing Evan coming at him, Lewis quickly cast one of his spells. Two thick roots rushed towards Evan, but they couldn't stop him for a second.

Swing.

Evan swung the scythe and the snow-white blade sliced the roots into several pieces. Lewis tried to defend himself somehow, but he didn't have the right spells for it. There was nothing he could do against Evan at this distance.

Whoosh.

The scythe blade rushed toward Lewis and made a wide cut on his chest. The wound immediately bled, and Lewis fell to the ground, trying to stop the bleeding.
