Chapter 14 - Two Versus One

From quite a distance, the hordes march closer to the academy. The Hellish Demon Spider spotted some of the academy's instructors and <i>Rankers</i> planning to draw in with the hordes. From a few of the instructors and <i>Rankers </i>who were protecting the academy, a calm figure standing firm with a solid will confronting the beast swarms.

The bright weather conditions are approached by a bunch of foreboding shadows. Overcast weather conditions covering the academy and the entire city of Arīḥā. Overcast went to a foreboding shadow covering the sky. Thunder rumbling echoed in the sky with inauspicious environmental elements.

The dull sky then, at that point, begins to drizzle. Lightning strikes can be visible once some time. The downpour drench the ground where it will end up being a battleground.

The figure still standing calm without an ounce of dread displayed even when confronting the Hellish Demon Spider hordes.

Head up at the forefront where the tank of the hordes placed is the Demon Blood Bear. There is an entire swarm of Demon Blood Bear. From one end to the other end.

As the sky is covered by thick foreboding shadows. The entire academy went dim because of this environment brought by Hellish Demon Spider hordes. A figure have a brief look with a faint light from every lightning strike. With multiple lightning strikes occurring, the figure uncovered itself. Arīḥā City former champion, The Legendary Level 9 Battle Mage Emir.

That is when Emir lifted his right hand to the sky. Foreboding shadows start to circle overhead on top of where Emir is standing. Thunder can be heard as it roars in the sky. Lightning strikes can be seen through the foreboding shadows.

Lightning continues to strike as though two fighters are clashing their blade and creating a flash each time their sword clashes with one another. Then, at that point, in Emir's eyes, a lightning spark appeared.

From his eyes, lightning began to show up on Emir's arm, his torso, his body and even his limbs. Lightning can be seen crawling all over Emir's body.

Just by his hand gesture, on top of Emir's right hand palm, an electric-blue pentagram appeared. At the point when Emir projects his pentagram to the sky then a larger pentagram comes to take shape in the sky.

All the lightning strikes gather to the large pentagram in the sky created by Emir as though it's attracted to the pentagram. Each lightning strike is consumed by Emir pentagram.

Looking at the hordes is drawing nearer, Emir sight fixed at the Demon Blood Bear. The creature roared fiercely, destroying everything in its way. Emir targeted the Demon Blood Bear to halt the hordes' movement.

With an emotionless look, Emir's eyes turn thunder-ish white. "<i>Thunderbolt</i>", Emir casted. At that point, the huge pentagram overhead twists furiously shooting out various thunderbolts aiming at the Demon Blood Bear.

All the bleeding edge swarms preceded by the Demon Blood Bear got hit by Emir's thunderbolt roasted to crisp. Drizzling sound can be heard. The fur, the skin toasted where it sent out the burn scent.

The situation looks horrible as many Demon Blood Bears drop dead on the ground. With simply a single strike from Emir, the swarms diminish such a lot of which infuriated the Hellish Demon Spider.

Emir then, at that point, attached the pentagram from his palm to his chest which actually still links with the enormous pentagram. The pentagram connected to Emir's chest will act as a mechanism of catalyst for Emir to manipulate the lightning element gathered by the pentagram in the sky.

Powered up by the catalyst pentagram, Emir cast his <i>lightning-speed </i>surge towards the remaining Demon Blood Bear.

While moving in his <i>lightning-speed</i>, Emir summoned his weapon. A weapon he never held for a very long time, "Come forth, <i>Rakurai En</i>", a Level 9 Battle Mage exclusive mythical artefact. A mythical weapon can only be attained when a Battle Mage reaches Level 9. The weapon will take form according to the mage perspective of combat skill and dominant element.

With <i>lightning-speed </i>closing into Demon Blood Bear, Emir slash each creature in his way. In an instant, nine Demon Blood Bear, four orcs and five goblins were cut down by Emir. All were decapitated from their bodies. This is the power feared by not just the beast. Indeed, even amongst the Battle Mage, this is the feared force of all. Unimaginable tremendous power just can be attained after ridiculously agony and suffering, this is the force of seasoned Level 9 Battle Mage.

Hellish Demon Spider is furious and can be seen getting irritated by Emir attacks. It screams out loud with rage. At this moment, Hellish Demon Spider actuates its brain control skills. Hellish Demon Spider activates its mind control and takes over the mind of Demon Blood Bear to sacrifice itself to be devoured by Demon Lightning Wolf.

In view of this unpredictable circumstance, a new breed of evolved demon existed. This mixed breed will acquire almost both demon monster traits and abilities.

While Demon Lightning Wolf devours up Demon Blood Bear, Hellish Demon Spider unleashes Gargantuan Serpent to attack Emir. The Demon Lightning Wolf body started to bulk up. It's gotten bigger practically like Demon Blood Bear. Then, at that point, an armour showed up covering its head, chest area which covered its front and back body. Ultimately an armour showed up on its anklet.

With a body as large as Demon Blood Bear yet as swift as Demon Lightning Wolf, this monster evolved to a Demon Blood Wolf-Bear.

Defence power so sturdy like a Demon Blood Bear. In addition to the speed and lightning paralysis of Demon Lightning Wolf, this monster is on another level.

Emir noticed the situation changed as soon Demon Lightning Wolf evolved to Demon Blood Wolf-Bear however he is prevented by Gargantuan Serpent. The Gargantuan Serpent isn't some measly beast. It's strength is nearly to the pinnacle of Level 8 Battle Mage.

Demon Blood Wolf-Bear spotted a few instructors and <i>Rankers</i> nearby and started attacking them. A few instructors saw Demon Blood Wolf-Bear approaching the <i>Rankers</i> who were fighting goblins and orcs. The Demon Blood Wolf-Bear was so fast and its sudden arrival to the <i>Rankers</i> was never expected. The Demon Blood Wolf Bear used its headbutt and the <i>Rankers</i> flew so far from the impact.

The instructors rushed towards Demon Blood Wolf-Bear to fend it off from their students and some immediately went to heal the injured <i>Rankers</i>.

During Emir's fight with Gargantuan Serpent, Hellish Demon Spider is taking the opportunity to attack Emir together with Gargantuan Serpent.

Even with its enormous body, Gargantuan Serpent able to move swiftly and the timing of its tail attack combined with its toxic spit is quite a hassle for Emir to handle.

At the same time, the instructors who are battling Demon Blood Wolf-Bear were killed. The instructors sacrifice themselves to protect <i>Rankers</i> who couldn't fight back the newly evolved Demon Blood Wolf-Bear. The instructors manage to protect their students with the cost of their life.

Emir who saw the fallen instructors could barely hold his emotion and double cast his lightning-speed to accelerate his movement and swing his <i>Rakurai En</i> but the Gargantuan Serpent has fortified scales which increase its defence.

Retaliating to Emir's attack, Gargantuan Serpent spit its toxic substance and concurrently swung its tail in Emir direction. With his double cast lightning-speed, Emir manages to evade all the attacks Gargantuan Serpent throws at him.

Since Emir has his hands full fighting Gargantuan Serpent, Hellish Demon Spider sneakily shoots its thread wrapping Emir's feet holding him at one spot. Quickly Gargantuan Serpent utilizing its nibble assault. Incapable to move, Emir lifted his left hand and cast lightning-barrier shielding his entire body from the Gargantuan Spider bite.

However, the Hellish Demon Spider subtly shoots another thread to thrust Emir left arm and Gargantuan Serpent opens wide its mouth to swallow Emir.
