Chapter 260 - Excellence (1/2)
Seeing Evan take down her subordinates with ease, Nuria realized he was far from an ordinary mage. She assumed he was a member of some 'dark' organization or worked for vampires at all and prevented anyone from knowing their location.
She decided to use three magical artifacts at once and cast one of her most powerful spells.
”Get out of there!” Shouted Nuria and swung her staff.
A huge wave, more like a tsunami, struck Evan. It easily tore down dozens of trees in its path and would just as quickly engulf Evan. He could not run away from a wave of this size, so his only option was to defend himself. The best defense was the offense.
He put his arms out in front and cast Magic Missile and One-Eyed Raven's Beam. He decided to use Magic Missile even though it was a zero-level spell because it had excellent punching power.
He wanted to make a hole in that tsunami, but if he just cast One-Eyed Raven's Beam, most of the hit would go to piercing the shell of that tsunami. What's more, Evan was going to use three whole spells, not two.
”Reykar!” Evan said loudly, and a purple raven appeared on his shoulder. Since their first meeting, Reykar had grown many times stronger, thanks in large part to Evan. What's more, his intelligence has increased significantly, so he understood what Evan wanted from him without explanation.
His beak glowed, and a second later, three powerful beams of energy were directed at one point. Evan cast Magic Missile a little earlier, so the white beam reached the wave faster. It couldn't do much damage to the wave, but it broke through the outer shell.
Moments later, two purple beams of enormous power exploded and rumbled throughout the forest. The explosion sent a shockwave that caused the crowns of trees to bend almost to the ground. The powerful explosion destroyed part of the wave and split it in two. The two pieces passed Evan, demolishing everything behind him.
”What?! Why is the monster helping him?” Nuria exclaimed, puzzled. With each passing second, she became less and less aware of what was happening. Whatever she was doing, Evan was finding a countermeasure.
Crackle.
Suddenly three orc-like creatures crawled out of the ground. They wore steel armor and were armed with massive axes. Behind them, a flash of flame could be seen, which quickly turned into a five meter high fire elemental.
The Summoners entered the fray. Before that, they buffed Amplifiers but now decided to summon their most powerful creatures and kill the monster.
The two orcs and the elemental had no intelligence of their own. They were like puppets, but they had basic instincts. The summoner did not need to control his summoned creature's every move.
<These orcs are equal in strength to a mage at the One-Pointed Star stage, I think Reykar should have no problem dealing with them. I need to destroy this elemental quickly. It's much stronger>. Thought Evan and gave Reykar a command.
Raven headed towards the two orcs. Evan started casting ”Ball Lighting.” It was his most powerful spell. He thought that it would produce an incredible size explosion when such powerful lightning and fire came together.
Evan was attacked, but he ducked and headed toward the elemental. He turned into crimson lightning and got to the fire elemental in the blink of an eye. By that moment, Ball Lighting was already composed entirely of red lightning and was ready to explode at any second.
The fire elemental attacked him, but it was too late. Evan threw Ball Lighting in the elemental and covered himself by arms. The ensuing explosion would hurt even him.
