Chapter 7 – The Battle That Ended

Isabella fought the ax-bearing monster while retreating slowly, she wanted to lure this creature closer to Griffin. In her mind she was quite curious what kind of crazy idea this guy was going to come up with.

While Griffin was also luring this monster closer to Isabella, he was already preparing to carry out his plan.

"Hey Isabella, can you make these two monsters cling to each other for a while?" Griffin asked when the two of them were close enough.

"I can do it with the "Ice Control" skill. But my ice will definitely be destroyed in a few seconds."

"It doesn't matter. Just a few seconds is enough."

Griffin ran away so Isabella could release her skills freely. In the vast field, only Isabella was left with the two monsters surrounding her. They simultaneously dashed forward and swung the weapons they were holding.

Blam

For the umpteenth time, their attacks didn't hit the girl. Isabella jumped up just in time.

"Ice Control"

Isabella's hand gave off a chill that created a huge chunk of ice. The ice spread rapidly and left the two monsters stuck together and unable to move, at least for a few seconds.

Crack

The huge ice quickly cracked due to the enormous power of the two monsters.

"Griffins! Whatever you're planning, you better hurry! My ice won't be able to hold on much longer!"

Griffin ran back towards the two monsters. He jumped up and stabbed his sword into the stomach of one of them.

Isabella who saw it couldn't help but think, "Is this the only plan? Sticking his sword that won't even be able to kill one of them."

For a moment Isabella felt sorry for spending so much mana just on a ridiculous plan like this.

But a second later, she could tell that that wasn't all that had happened. The flames on Griffin's sword suddenly grew bigger.

GRAAAAAA!!!

"What happened?" Isabella stared in complete confusion. The monster clearly seemed to be in more and more pain.

"Isabella! Stay away!"

The fire grew bigger and bigger until it burned the two monsters together.

[A large amount of mana is used in the skill "Flame Sword"]

[25 mana points have been used]

[25 mana points have been used]

[25 mana points have been used]

[Warning! Excessive use of mana can be bad for body!]

[Warning! Excessive use of fire skills is starting to have side effects!]

[Health points are starting to decrease due to side effects of fire skills]

Griffin started to feel his body getting hotter due to the side effects of using excessive mana and fire skills. But he couldn't stop now.

Griffin continued to emit massive amounts of mana to amplify the flames on his sword. Even the huge chunk of ice created by Isabella had melted in an instant.

"DIE!"

The fire became so large that it lit up the entire area. The incident became the center of attention of all the wizard there.

Isabella retreated far enough to avoid the flames that were attacking uncontrollably. She didn't expect this man to be able to create such great magic.

"How can he make fire magic this strong?"

The night seemed to be bright for a moment because of the fire.

GRAAA

A few seconds after the scream was heard, the two monsters fell and lay on the ground.

Griffin drew his sword and quickly walked away. The fire just now didn't burn him, but he still felt the intense heat. The fire on his sword had also been extinguished because he was no longer able to sustain the magic.

The bodies of the two mages were still burning, but they were no longer moving, a sign that the battle had been won by Griffin.

"This is crazy, what kind of magic is that?"

"Who is that boy?"

"How can there be wizards with that much mana in Lirest?"

"Our two flagship mages lost outright."

Debate was heard throughout the war arena, especially from the Boarens. Even though the two wizards who had transformed into monsters were their main weapons, but both of them were immediately defeated.

Things were getting very superior for Lirest's side.

The still exhausted Griffin raised his sword up.

Blaaarrr

He let out another great flame through his sword.

"Who else is going to fight me?!"

Griffin bluffed really hard. The look and air of his presence made anyone there frightened.

"Everyone back off!"

The frightened Boaren troops immediately left the Lirest area. They knew that their army would not be able to take on Isabella and this man at the same time.

"Hah...."

Griffin let out a long breath from exhaustion. The fire on his sword was extinguished again. He who was already powerless made his steps unstable.

Isabella quickly picked up Griffin who was about to fall.

"Are you ok?" Isabella asked with a worried look.

"Quite good. At least this time I wasn't chased by a vicious dog."

Isabella laughed at the joke. She was very grateful to be able to hear such ridiculous jokes from this person.

As Griffin expected, the more mana he used, the greater the fire effect his skill would produce. This information was written when he first saw the flame sword information from his skill list.

So he took advantage of his over 500 mana points to burn the monsters, although he didn't expect the effect of the fire to be so great.

At the same time, the Lirest army cheered for their victory. Griffin became the main hero who managed to repel Boaran and save the land from the invaders.

[You have successfully completed the quiz "Kill the dark wizard who threatens the people of Lirest"]

[10 strength points added to your status]

[10 agility points added to your status]

[5 stamina points added to your stats]

[5 vitality points added to your stats]

[You get 240 experience points from killing 2 dark wizard]

[Your level increased by 1 level]

[Your level increased by 1 level]

[Level up is stopped due to the effect of 'Unknown Skill']

"What else is this?"

Griffin who was still exhausted looked at the many blue screens that suddenly appeared in front of him.

He didn't expect his stat points to increase to this extent. When he saw the battle between Lirest and Boaren mages just now, they were generally not very strong, at least Griffin who was previously stronger than ordinary wizards, though Isabella was an exception.

But now maybe the status points have increased by half. Griffin himself had no idea how much he had grown stronger.

"And what else with this 'Unknown Skill' effect?"

Griffin was quite confused by the so-called 'unknown skill'. If it was according to Isabella's words, a wizard should be able to see their own status, but this unknown skill made him unable to see his own level. Even now the level up has stopped.

Even though his stats were still increasing, but Griffin felt that stopping his level like this could be a problem in the future.

Just a few minutes after the great battle ended, the wizards from Lirest began to move to repair any damage.

The large courtyard they used to fight just now was used as a place to treat the wounded. Tents and other equipment were prepared as quickly as possible to accommodate more people.

Isabella led Griffin into one of the tents to rest.

"You wait here, I have to go take care of the others."

Isabella went and immediately helped the other witches. She seemed to be in a hurry to clear up all this mess, and the wizards also followed her orders calmly without arguing. It seemed that she did have a not-so-low position in this place.

All around was seen a group of wizard who put their hands on the injured person. They flow mana through the hands to perform healing magic. Although not very fast, but it seems healing magic is quite effective.

Griffin tried the same thing the wizard did.

His hands gave off a red aura that looked thin. In an instant, the pain and heat in his body seemed to be drastically reduced. The resulting effect is truly extraordinary.

When he noticed, the color of the aura produced by the people here was quite different. Like the red color produced by Griffin and the blue aura emitted by Isabella, it seems that everyone's mana characteristics are different.

While Griffin was busy healing himself, a blue screen appeared in front of him again.

[Unknown skill is preparing a new quiz for you]

[You will get a new quiz soon]

"What else is this?"

Griffin looks tired of seeing a blue screen containing quizzes. Indeed, the prizes he got were quite helpful to fight the monsters, but the contents of the quiz always told him to do crazy and dangerous things.

[Midnight is almost here. The dark ritual is about to begin.]

"Uh, what is this?"
