Chapter 216 Magical An (1/2)

As my first victim languishes within my spell that is quite literally trying to pull it apart in every direction, I turn my attention to the rest of the monsters coming our way. So far there are six t.i.tan Crocs and three of the larger Double Crocs who need dealing with.

Come to me, you leathery chumps! I'm not holding back this time!

I vengefully command my sub brain to pa.s.s more gravitational mana to me and begin swiftly weaving together ordinary gravity bolts. With the relative ease of construction the spell leaves me enough awareness to turn and present my back zone towards my foes.

Have a taste of this, you darn crocs!

POW! POW! POW!

Quick as a flash I fire off three blasts of my own special brand of acid before turning around again and unleas.h.i.+ng my spell.

The acid arcs through the air towards the crocs. They are on alert this time and two of the shots miss but the spell slams home into one of the t.i.tan Crocs who immediately feels the weight of the world fall on its shoulders, slowing its movement to a crawl.

Plenty more where that came from!

[Crinis, get into a defensive position in front of me. I'll throw spell until they reach us]

[Understood, master]

No nonsense in the heat of battle, my faithful pet glides gracefully in front of me and rapidly deploys her web of tentacles. The monsters will have to get past her if they want to reach me and I don't think she'll allow that…

Gravity Bolt!

With my current mind I can whip one of these out in just seconds, the second is already prepared and on its way!

This time I target one of the Double Crocs. I want to see what these beefier monsters are made of. As they draw closer the spells become more difficult to dodge and this one strikes home easily. The target looks angry to have been struck with my spell and when the gravity descends it unleashes a roar of frustration, the anger rumbling out from deep in its chest. But it keeps coming. Slower than before, thankfully but still coming. It appears these monsters have enough Might to overcome the normal gravity bolt and not suffer too much. I won't bother spending more of that on them then.

Weighing them down and restricting their mobility is nice but I can do a h.e.l.l of a lot better with my time and every second counts.

I've been weaving another gravity bolt even as I watched the effect of the last one and it is quickly ready.

Fire!

Another t.i.tan Croc feels the pressure fall onto it, pulling its feet down to the ground and it struggles to overcome the weight.

The Crocs are moving at full speed now, the ground shuddering under the impact of their ma.s.sive feet. Overhead the trees shake and s.h.i.+ver. The monsters moving through the water s.h.i.+ft into high gear, spraying water as they pa.s.s, their jaws opening wide to reveal their surprisingly pink tongues nestled between rows of razor sharp teeth.

I've got time for maybe two more spells before they hit us.

Maybe I can buy us some more time though…

Gravity mana begin to pour out of my gland at the behest of my sub brain and I bring forth the full power of my prodigious mind to compress it down and weave it into the shape of another new spell. I have to focus hard on this one as I haven't had enough practice with it to be able to shape it easily.

I can almost feel steam pour out of my ears as my mind starts to overheat. Within my mind I compress mana and build up the structure of my spell at dizzying speeds, loops and whorls, spheres and lines, layer on layer taking shape as the seconds tick by. The crocs thunder towards us, emerging from the water just a few metres away and charging forward.

Aaaaaaand …. Done!

Gravity Bola!
