164 164 – Ambush

All the mages that knew earth spells were tirelessly casting spells to soften the ground, then the mages that knew water spells would soak the softened ground.

But still the mammoth dashed forward, it massive body just slightly slowed by the constantly changing terrain, then the fire mages came forward and blew burning fire onto the muddy ground.

It was like making cement, but while they had success in slowing the mammoth for the first hour, it seemed that mammoth had learned from it's previous mistakes and knew how to counter quickly.

It built up its wind energies around its feet that were locked in the ground and released a pulse of wind that ripped through the hardened ground and in the next second it continued its mad dash forward.

That was all the coalition of 8 mages could manage, they stopped it for a mere 5 seconds, and in three seconds it made up the ground it had lost and continued it's charge, only to get caught up by the next group of mages.
