Chapter 18: First Battle

After Stark said those words to Kraftvoll, he immediately started building strategies in his mind. "Oh, I think I know what I'm gonna do!" Kraftvoll said with a smile.

Kraftvoll silently walked near the lion. The lion didn't notice Kraftvoll going near itself at all. Kraftvoll started chanting in low voice, "I command thee, ye who constitute strength,"

As the fire seishin essences gathered around Kraftvoll, the lion started to feel Kraftvoll's presence nearby. As soon as the lion spotted Kraftvoll, it viciously charged to him.

In response to that, Kraftvoll shouted the final part of his spell's chant "Tear asunder thy master's enemy, Fire burst!"

A bolt of fire suddenly launched toward the seishin beast. In comparison, Kraftvoll's spell was not as good as Stark's Fire Burst spell in terms of the degree of power. After all, there was a big difference in their seishin cultivation.

Regardless of that, Stark and the others were stupefied by what had transpired in their hunt. Their jaws dropped as they saw Kraftvoll successfully cast the spell for his first try, he was only taught by Stark yesterday.

Before the lion reached Kraftvoll using its sharp claws, it was hit by the fireball. Like how Stark demonstrated yesterday, the bolt of fire exploded after it hit the lion.

The explosion created by the spell cast by Kraftvoll caused the area to be enveloped by smoke.

Although the smoke was not big enough to cover the whole area, it was enough to cover the lion, making it divisible from the eyes.

After casting the spell, Kraftvoll retreated from his previous position. He was still in guard. Even though he stopped the lion from attacking him, there was a chance that it survives the attack.

One thing that Kraftvoll learned in his training was to not let his guard and be extremely cautious every time.

He started chanting another spell, "Ye who represents stability, grant my wish" The brown specks around Kraftvoll started to gather around him. These brown specks are the seishin essence of the earth element, this means that Kraftvoll was chanting a spell of the earth element.

"Protect thy master, Earth Guard!" An Earth-like armor started to envelop Kraftvoll as soon as he finished the chant. Kraftvoll had to use this spell to ready himself from every possible danger.

As the smoke started to dissipate slowly, Kraftvoll's only choice was to wait patiently for the seishin beast to show up.

After a few seconds, Kraftvoll saw a slight movement in the smoke.

Suddenly, the seishin beast charged wildly toward Kraftvoll. But this time, its speed was abnormally fast in comparison earlier. Also, there was more bloodlust that can be seen in its eyes.

This made Kraftvoll realized something, 'It seems like this lion's elemental attributes is the element of wind, according to Sir Stark's lectures, fire is very effective against it. So maybe, it was so badly damaged that it activated its Bloodlust skill. I have to cast Fire Burst again. But first, I have to halt its movement.

Kraftvoll quickly came up with an idea. Since he was currently at the battle, he started doing what he was thinking.

He started chanting again while dodging the furious attacks of the lion. "As the element who represent fear itself, restrict those who oppose me, Shadow Bind!"

When Kraftvoll was chanting, black specks were gathering around him, this signifies that he was chanting a spell from the Dark element.

Those who were spectating were awestruck of what they had seen. This was because a single boy did a job that only a squad of young men was capable of doing.

After Kraftvoll cast the spell of the dark element, a shadow constricted the seishin beast making it unable to move. Now, Kraftvoll started to chant again the spell that Stark taught him.

"I command thee, ye who constitute strength, tear asunder thy master's enemy, Fire burst!" The bolt of fire launched to the lion and exploded as it reached the seishin beast. That was the final blow that had taken the life of the seishin beast in the form of a lion.
