Chapter 123: Yurid

I suddenly got teleported when I was grabbed by these two.

"Hey brother I think he's confused." One of the twins talked.

"Brother he's confused." The other one followed.

"What should we do?"

"What SHOULD we do?"

"Names!"

"Ah I see. Names!

"I'm Valre!"

"I'm Velry!"

"And together, we're the Twin Mages!"

"Twin Mages!"

They talked weirdly, happy and carefree while replying to each other.

"I'm Zeta. So, what do you want?" I asked.

"I mean… you invaded our home!" Valre replied.

"Yeah! You invaded!" Velry followed up.

"So we have to protect it!"

"Yeah, protect!"

"So… please die for us!"

"Die, die, die!"

They started to begin their move. Valre was the first to cast a spell. "Poison Mist!" His twin brother Velry then followed up, "Poison Immunity!"

I have no resistance against poison. "Poison Immu-"

Velry interrupted, "Silence!"

I couldn't speak. It feels as if my throat was tightening up.

"Poison Immunity! Cleanse!" I could feel myself getting back to normal.

"Thanks Yurid. I thought I was a goner."

"If that two years of training we did and you suddenly died here, I would kill myself to get over to where your soul goes and kill you again."

"That's scary…"

"Did you get a random curse to become extremely weak? These twin mages are just third rate mages compared to you. I can't believe I had to help you."

"Sorry…"

"If you're gonna say sorry then prove it. Jeez…"

"Hey!" Valre called out to me. "Who are you talking to?"

Velry then said, "Yeah! Focus on the fight!"

"Sorry, sorry. Let's continue."

They began to run. Velry is in front of me and Valre is behind me. I started to attack before they could cast anything. "Smite!" A beacon of light came striking down the both of them.

"Barrier!" They casted in unison blocking the spell I just casted.

"Dragon Lightning!" Velry casted and Valre suddenly followed it up with, "Phoenix Dive!"

A lightning formed into a shape of a dragon came rushing at me and a burst of flames in a form of a phoenix dived at me. "I'm in trouble aren't I?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Dragon Lightning, Phoenix Dive." I casted both of them at the same time and launched my spell against them cancelling it out.

"Wow! You casted two spells at once! You're strong!" Valre complimented me.

"Wow! You're strong!" Velry followed him up.

"It's time to get serious then."

"Time to get serious!"

They both jumped in the air, "LIGHTNING FIELD!!!" A giant dome of lightning was then formed.

"Lightning Resistance." Just enough for me to walk in this field. It'll hurt but I don't have a spell that grants me immunity to lightning for a long time so I'll have to bear with it. They didn't cast a silence spell or interrupted or basically anything. That's good for me.

Valre began casting, "Twin Dragon Lightning!" Velry followed up, "Magic Damage UP! Magic Unbreakable!"

Dragon lightning but there's two, a skill that enhances the damage and another buff the makes the magic cannot be interrupted with dispel. Interesting. "Magic Disruptor Field!"

Both of their buffs and twin dragon lighting spells got destroyed. But the lightning field still stands.

I'll be leading the attack now, "Flame Pillar Barrage!" Several flames that rise up the sky and disappearing for a few seconds spawned in random locations around us. They were busy trying to dodge everything that was coming their way. "Terraforming!" A skill that allows the terrain to be moved, destroyed or be added. Used for cities but I'll use this to split the ground so that their lightning field will continue to expand and use up more mana.

I split up the ground as it quaked startling the twin mages. They were confused but the area covering the lightning field grew three times bigger so their mana consumption for this field will be three times as well.

"Hey." A voice suddenly talked to me. "Take a look at your health."

"Yurid? What's wrong?" I asked.

"Take a look at your health."

I pulled out my status window. "That's a problem."

"End this quick. You're going to die if you keep up this turtle pace."

It seems that my health is dropping quickly. Due to lightning resistance, I minimized this but it seems that this field is still doing extreme damage against me. And due to that skill too, I couldn't feel anything that I was slightly being drained out of health. So that's why they didn't silence me. I can't dispel this lightning field too since I don't know this spell.

"DRAGON'S UPRISING!" A magic circle appeared below the twin mages.

"Barri-" They said in unison but my spell activated faster before they could. The magic circle below them released a dragon that shot up to the sky with them.

It tore of their shrouded cloaks and revealed the burns on their bodies as the aftermath. They grew silent trying to analyze what happened on their bodies.

I continued with my barrage of attacks. "Scatter Light!" Arrows formed on the sky and came falling down on them. They blocked it with a quick use of barrier. "Fire Pulse!" A surge of fire appeared on my body to prevent them from closing in. It drains mana per second but it keeps enemies away by pulsing fire waves every three seconds or so. I'll keep it on so that they can't get close.

They made their move and unleashed a lot of skills. "Heavenly Flames!" "Dark Explosion!" Both of them casted in succession.

It light up flames of white that burned everything it touches. The ground got dug even deeper because of both their skills.

"Dragon Lightning!" I casted.

"Dragon Lightning!"Valre counter attacked.

"Magic Damage UP!" Velry buffed his twin brother's magic further.

Both our dragons clashed and Valre overpowered mine and destroyed my spell completely. But it wasn't enough to get near me since my spell exhausted his spell.

My health points is going down incredibly quickly. I don't know how to deal with this situation. "Yurid."

"What?" She replied.

"Help me."

"Are you giving up?"

"Well no. I just don't know how to deal with this situation. I haven't been hit by any of their spells but this lightning field is damaging me incredibly quickly. It's a weird situation to be in."

"Hmmm… Fine. I'll be detaching now."

Yurid is an entity branded onto my soul. Only I can hear her and see her when she's attached inside of me but it seems that my comrades can too.

Yurid detached herself from me and revealed her true form.

"Who's… that?" They asked.

"So you're the ones that Zeta's having trouble with huh? I see. Well you're just ants in my eyes."

Valre and Velry got annoyed and casted several skills. Valre started, "Acid Rain!" and Velry defended themselves, "Barrier!"

"Dispel." Yurid casted on both of them breaking the barrier that would have protected them from the acid rain. "Barrier." Yurid casted on me.

The Acid Rain fell and hit the skin of Valre and Velry burning it off.

"ARGHHHH! MY SKIN… MY FACE!" Both of them got angry.

"You both make such a ruckus."

"Why are you not damaged by the acid rain?"

"Well your skills are weak to even damage my body."

"Brother." Valre looked at Velry. "We have to do that."

"That?" Velry was in thought for a second. "Ah that! Let's do that!"

They ran around as if waiting for Yurid to attack.

"These kids running around… Fine. You want me to attack? Flame Surge!" Flames appeared that surrounded the entire area.

Velry counter attacked, "Darkness Cloud!" The sky then darkened and shot a black colored rain in which everything it touches melts away.

"Wind Burst!" Yurid cleared off the sky in the air. She then aimed at Velry. "Dragon Lightning!" It hit Velry and destroyed his body into nothingness.

"Keke… HAHAHA! You idiot! That was a diversion tactic!" Behind the clouds that Yurid blew away was both of them casting a spell. "METEOR BURST!" A giant ball of flames headed Yurid's way. "This is the end!"

Yurid tried to stop the giant ball of fire to hit the ground so she grabbed the ball of fire with both of her hands.

"Pushing? HAHA! Useless!" The twins shouted In unison.

"Pushing? I'm not pushing it. I just don't want this to hit the ground. I'm actually… absorbing it."

"WHAT!?"

Yurid wasn't a person, a species or anything. She was just a personification of mana. She's mana itself. Magic doesn't work on Yurid.

The ball of fire was compressed and absorbed by Yurid. "Thanks for the meal. Here's my payment." Yurid mimicked the spell they did and she generated it even bigger. She then shot it at them obliterating them. Not a single piece of their body nor clothes was left alive.

The only thing that was there was the aftermath of the battle, two mountains destroyed in the distance.

"Good job Yurid." I said.

"Argh I'm tired… Give me some mana."

"Fine, come get it." Yurid can't regain mana by resting or anything so she can only drain it or absorb it. "Do you really have to bite my neck everytime?"

"Well you humans have their mana on their blood. Don't blame for it."

"Fine…"
