Chapter 119: Swing (1/2)
”I don't want to talk too much.” Ellen smirked and raised her staff. A rotating circular blue energy formed above her hand and expanded, gradually turning into a cloud.
”Ice Storm.”
Small ice particles began to rain down, where they diagonally fell as if there was a wind blowing them.
Alea smiled and channeled her energy into her sword. Red-colored fire emerged from the sword as she launched it into Ellen's attack.
”Flamming Ge-Sword.”
The fire flew to the air and hit one of the particles, evaporating it in an instant. The flame continued, hit the cloud and exploded, dispersing the cloud and ultimately canceling Ellen's attack.
However, Ellen Ice Storm was just bait. Her real attack was the five light balls that released the ice energy to her, leaving a trail of ice behind.
”Freezing Shot.”
The Freezing Shot flew two feet above the ground while spreading enough for Alea to jump to the air, avoiding the attack.
Ellen knew Alea would surely go to the air if she attacked her with this Freezing Shot. Hence, she channeled a bit more Magic Power into her skill earlier, programming them to turn upward.
Alea was amused by the variation and took a glimpse of Ellen's expression, knowing that her best friend was planning something.
The fire covered her sword as she struck all the incoming Freezing Shot with one swing before finding Theo and his clone already surrounding her on the ground.
They both summoned their Magic Bullet and shot him since there was no way Alea could strike down all twenty Magic Bullets at once.
As expected, Alea pointed her sword below and summoned a translucent shield.
”Fortitude.”
The Magic Bullet hit this shield, which managed to stop an attack from a monster above level 500, and disappeared in an instant.
However, an emerging presence shook Alea's body as she instinctively spun her body while swinging her sword.
Clink.
To her surprise, she could hear the clicking sound and found Phyrill not long after.
”Tch.” Phyrill clicked his tongue and tried to push it, but Alea didn't budge. ”You're indeed like a horse. How strong are you…”
”Wait, what did you call me earlier? Which part of me looked like a horse?” Alea widened her eyes and pushed Phyrill back as they fell to the ground.
”You should ask Theo. I'm sure he will give you the best answer.” Phyrill chuckled and landed on the ground before leaping backward.
”Theo? Is this the reason why he treated me so horribly?” Alea widened her eyes and turned to Theo, only to find Ellen placing her hand on the ground.
”Ice Wave.”
Ice Spikes began to emerge from the ground in succession in a fan-shaped area, heading straight to Alea.
”Wait a minute.” Alea stabbed the ground with her sword and released the fire on her sword. ”Grand Burst.”
