Feeling the bombardment of the explosive arrows, the gigantic being whose appearance was formed with endless worms finally shrieked in anger. It thought that at last, it would be able to overwhelm anyone on its path and take on a feastful massacre. Yet, what awaited it was an obstacle harder than it had imagined.
Those tiny warriors with their little bows were easy picking back when it dealt with them one at a time. Even a group of three or five was hardly a problem. But when more than twenty of them gathered together, along with a mysterious figure clad in wind, they were so troublesome, to the point it thought of them as a threat.
However, the real peril lay on the figure whose body was shrouded in wind with movements just as fast as the torrent he had summoned. It thought it was the ruler of the wind and death, the wind was
Panting heavily, Aaron glared at the wizard who was ten meters away in front of him. The wand which the wizard possessed had materialized a transparent, muddy-like sphere right at the spot of the goat's carving. Shiver clawed to his spine every glance he directed to those spheres and his once boiled temper had calmed down by now.For he had no luxury to go berserk in his state. Half of his stomach was gone, leaving a half circle wound with intestines and bones showing out, with a bizarre scene of his blood that didn't flow down and was still intact on his body, considering there was an empty place beneath them.His arm wasn't spared either, leaving behind a similar severed limb like his opponent. But in contrast to his foe, his arm and stomach didn't heal at all, only black smoke coming out of his scarred flesh.
"Gahk!"Spitting out a mouthful of blood, another wizard was trampled right underneath Edmurd's paw while it scrutinized the fallen foe, especially the stuff hidden beneath his black cloak. And again, it's expectation was betrayed when the items that rolled out of that cloak were some stack of papers, a straw doll, and some chains.Considering Edmurd had dealt with the wizard with the same amount of effort as the others, the result might have been disappointing. Not to mention, since that was the last wizard it had taken care of in this whole fight, the only wizard left would be the one who was fighting with Aaron.The other rangers that helped them were already injured to some extent and now have been waiting for their chance to help Aaron for a while. But no ma
At the far distance away from the battlefield of the elves and the wizard, an outline of a figure was standing upright at the very top of the tallest tree in the area.The tree was dead, with not even a single leaf on its numerous branches, similar to all of the trees around. Because of that, the moonlight unobstructedly casted it's illumination to the caster land below, making everything to be brighter than the normal wilderness.An old telescope was held in his hand while the figure used the telescope to see a certain scene. Soon, the edge of the lips beneath the shade was curled upwards. Putting away the telescope, a glowing pair of gold were squinted slightly. Then, he softly muttered, soft enough to only be heard by himself."Glad to have a plan B in c
"Rawwwrr!"Roaring out loud, the air in front of Edmurd immediately created a ripple. In the next moment, the artificial demon has its movements halted whilst excruciating pain emerges in its head. Within that period of time, tree's roots and vines started to sprung up from the ground and went to the hurricane. Half of them were quickly torn to shreds but those ones that were thicker had succeeded in tying up the demon.Obviously, the demon wanted to break free and forcefully rip apart the vines and roots with its strength. But seeing that it's strength didn't work, it changed its tactic and let the black wind begin to corrode and chipped them slowly.However, Edmurd didn't just stay still and dashed to the demon. Fangs and claws bared, edmurd growled and pounced
When she finally saw Edmurd back to the chief's residence, along with Aaron and some ranges in tow, Elizabeth quickly walked to their side to ask about the current situation. Yet, instead of receiving a good news, the information about how the demon would destroy this part of the forest and the chief was the only one who buy some time for them, had made Elizabeth stunned silly for she thought with edmurd and Aaron, the wizards wouldn't have a chance to win at all.Now that the worst possible scenario has unfolded, Elizabeth felt the sense of urgency to get back to the other side as soon as possible. But she couldn't just run away by herself. For now, she decided to help the elves to pack up and organize the civilians.With the exception of Aaron offering his help to the villagers, Edmurd was only observing the village whi
As blood trickled down from his forehead, a series of heavy breaths flowed out of his mouth with one of his arms throbbing unbearably. The gigantic mass of darkness stood in front of him as he felt the warmth, but exhausting surge of energy condemning beneath his sole feets. Whilst the winds still blew incessantly around him and carried his weary body in the air, the notion of him winning this fight was dwindling as time passed.It was unfolding like he had expected. His previous spells which could affect the creature's ethereal form have turned out to be no more than gentle pokes by now. The once equal battle had changed into one sided match. It takes a few of his best spells in firepower to keep the demon busy."Still… Strong?".Contrary to before where
Stopping his movements, Aaron turned his head to see the bright light flashed in the far distance. It seemed to be a powerful explosion and all of the traveling elves took a look at it with a grimmer face. Elizabeth, who noticed that, couldn't help but ask out loud."Why they seem concerned right now?"Staring back at the young lady, one of the rangers smiled and spoke politely, "Those blinding lights should come from our chief's best spells. Even though we are so far away, it would be easily recognizable to notice his power."Looking up to the canopy where one of the few rangers managed to catch up to Edmurd's speed, Elizabeth looked a little surprised before she nodded in acknowledgement. Fae's image and their first meeting crossed Elizabeth's mind. They only met for a sho
Six hours later after the departure of the elves, the sun had risen up on the horizon and they had entered an unknown part of the forest, where every passing vegetation would have their unique properties and appearance, invoking the curiosity within Elizabeth's heart.But instead of full throttle dash from the first hour, their pace has slowed down considerably to the point they were strolling instead of running. Right now, everyone decided to take a rest and has been sleeping soundly in the clearing the rangers had found. Only a few individuals were still up and keeping watch of the surroundings.Obviously,as the most ordinary in the bunch, Elizabeth joined most of the elves in sleeping for the upcoming journey. She was placed rather a bit far from the elves. However, most of the elves were also separated themselves and
