Battle Under the Shade of Algiea

As electricity Flows through Echo's body the axe in his hand began to change as well, due to the pure Mana with electrical properties flowing the axe magically became sharpened and the rust in its frame began to fall down showing a shiny luster, however Echo didn't seem to notice it as he prepares himself for the fight.

"Get out of my way!" Echo threatened with killing intent in his eyes, but to the elves he's only a young and weak naughty child, which to them is not worth taking seriously.

"I'm kid sorry but need you go home now, business you have not here." Warned by the elves in unison, but their adversary seems unfazed to their threats making them notice that there is something going on to the young boy's body.

The body of Taiko is weak however, Echo felt like he is getting stronger by the minute. "No need to waste time in talking to them, Trip might get captured once again" Echo thought to himself as he leaps forward hacking the first elf he saw.

aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

Blood gushed out from the neck of the elf as he continue to attack the elves one after another. Although he was unsure if he can fight them all using this current body of his, the fact that he had experienced the power whose flowing inside his body currently gave him enough confidence to fight anyone.

The elves are baffled at the scene in front of them, A young boy devoid of emotion now is full of madness, blue lightning sparks and green blood gushed out for each strike the young boy did.

Although surprised the elves are not that incompetent as they began counter attacking as well, they surround Echo and divide themselves into a vanguard and rearguard.

Front and back encirclement, the person in front will tank and the one at back will attack at a certain range, this kind of tactic are better employed when there are more people surrounding the few as it will give them a hard time defending all incoming attacks from each angle.

Seeing that the enemy are encircling around him, Echo didn't dawdle and exert more effort in lowering their numbers before they even complete the circle, That way the tactics won't be that hard to defend.

-------------

Inside the tree a reindeer with red glow are cornering a tiny blue spirit. "you have no place to run anymore, just be nice and surrender yourself to us!" The reindeer threatened however the blue spirit just answers with a lightning that targets the reindeer.

"NAUGHTY CHILD!!!!" The reindeer became mad due to each time he cornered the little spirit a lightning will struck him and temporarily paralyze him causing it to escape.

Although this time the effects became weaker as it is unknown to Echo and Trip that they are using the same source of power to fight.

The lightning immediately disappeared and the reindeer's body glows more brightly and send a punch towards Trip, however the blue spirit manage to dodge and the punch hit the wall destroying it.

The Punch is filled with the glowing red light as it immediately destroyed the wall, opening up a path leading upstairs. Trip didn't let go of this opportunity and immediately run upstairs.

-------------

Striking the head of the last elf, Echo's axe finally broke and the lightning around him calms down. "woah! what just happened to me?" finally calming down Echo was now in disbelief that he managed to destroy all those elves using nothing but Trip's blessing.

"So the axe became powerful while using Trip's blessing, hmm? if I remember correctly spirits like Trip are made of Mana." Even though he needs to rush and chase Trip and the reindeer Echo decided to analyze first what happened as this kind of discovery rarely came, so not taking advantage of this would be a foolish choice, plus he is carrying his pride as the best Pathfinder so he felt obliged to learn more about this.

I'll will have test that later using my <mana channeling>" After adding what happened to the list he needed to experiment, Echo hurriedly run towards the tree of Algiea to chase Trip and stop the red nose reindeer in capturing his friend.

Arriving inside the tree Echo saw the damaged made by the battle of those two, and felt worried in what is about to come, taking out the carving knife, whetstone, pole staff of Algiea, and some other that he looted, Echo prepares all the tools he will need for the upcoming fight.

He first pick up the carving tool a d sharpened it then with a nail and some rope he poke a hole on a pot lid and tied a rope making it a buckler then sharpened the edge afterwards.

Echo are preparing some other stuff when he heard a loud shout from above "kyaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!" This shout to Echo indicates that he really need to hurry, as Trip may not be able to defend himself anymore.

Blue lightning once again life up through Echo's body as he climbed to the top of the tree where Trip's battle is happening.

The structure of the tree is somewhat similar to the one at leifhandor which gives Echo a sense of familiarity. "If I am correct then this is the same tree in the middle of leifhandor." Not even bothering himself to the details Echo hastened his pace so that he can reach Trip much faster.

The way to the tree top is a spiral staircase, each floor that is reached is a room filled with a couple of elves blocking him. Hacking his way up Echo managed to finally reach the top where he saw Trip jumping around to avoid being captured by the reindeer.

Echo filled the dagger in his hand with Trip's blessing as he silently rush towards the reindeer having to land a sneak attack up to him.

The reindeer snorted as he look towards the young boy he deemed useless earlier now hanging at his back with a dagger stab on his hand. "You damn, brat!" The reindeer shouted as he grab Echo from his back throwing him away.

Echo managed to retrieve the dagger away as he was thrown by the reindeer. " who are you!? why are you trying to kidnap my friend!?!" Echo ask which makes Trip happy that he was actually being treated as a friend.

unfortunately right now they are on the separate area with the reindeer blocking the center, so even if Trip want to go to Echo's side he can't.

"You don't have the qualification to know that naughty child!, You're just a measly fly tha." The reindeer mockingly said as a pot lid filled with blue lightningwas thrown to the reindeer's face making it bleed, but the worst part of this attack is that it tilted upwards and slice through his antlers.

"rrrrooooooaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!!!!!!"

The reindeer cried in pain as his antlers was one of the main source of his powers aside from the nose, the effect of the attack weakens him greatly and it just so happened that he is in the middle of a speech.

[enemy rage mode was triggered]

Upon seeing this notification Echo manage to let out a smile as he know that this indicates the enemy is weakening and somehow near to his death.

The reindeer with madness on his face glows even brightly, producing fireballs around and melting the surroundings. with another roar the reindeer rushes towards Echo "<Fireball Fist>!" upon shouting the name of the skill the fireballs on his surrounding began to gather on his fist as he throws a punch to Echo.

Echo dodge on the side and circle around to get to Trip, Trip's eyes glow as he saw the approaching friend of his and immediately rushes towards him as well.

"I'm sorry about earlier pal." Echo said as Trip jumps to his head "kyah!!!" Trip answered joyfully as both of their eyes flashes with blue electric.

"Let's end this already, shall we."

"kyahh! (FIGHT!)"
