Chapter 403 Fire (2)

"It doesn't seem like this is at a level where I can interfere with the weather…" Billy said after he tried to condense the water in the air. Still, he failed at doing that since the water quickly evaporated.

"Phew… This heat is quite something," Kate said while trying to cool down her body with wind magic. "Shit… Even the air is so annoyingly hot."

It was rare to see Kate cursing, so the situation was really complicated. Because of it, they couldn't improve the situation with their magic powers, and they couldn't approach the enemy's base because of it… It was quite the dreadful mess. Now and then, some monsters would attack them, and the students began to feel like they were going to die due to the heat alone. Although they had experienced quite the training in the last few weeks, some of them began to fall unconscious.

The skill Heat Resistance has leveled up.

"What is the plan now, Billy?" Alexander asked. "I am thinking that we really need one of those ingenuous plans of yours right now."

"It must be easy to have me around…" Billy said while frowning. "There is no other choice. Let's decrease their numbers little by little by using long-ranged attacks."

The ice golem couldn't be used, and crossbows enchanted with the ice attribute wouldn't be of much use either. Billy easily created an earth golem and made it move just like the ice one. However, the others didn't have many options. Even regular arrows and bolts made of iron would melt as they approached the monsters.

"At this rate, we won't be able to help Billy, and their numbers won't decrease it," Natalie said.

"It is fine. You just have to be a bit more careful and use your head," Lily said and then she touched all of her ordinary arrows and used her mana around them.

"Why don't you use the black steel arrows?" Billy asked. "I should have made some more using the poison dragon's bones and scales…"

"No, it is fine. I like these," Lily said. "In any case, if you cover the arrows with mana just like Fierce Aura, you won't have to worry about that."

Lily said and then fired several of those continuously. Not only did they fly insanely faster, but they also didn't suffer any damage when they hit the fire Golem's heads. The fire golems. The creatures fell dead, and she also immediately recovered the mana she used. However, that was a tactic that only his friends could pull off. To make things progress faster, Billy needs the help of their students as well. Imbuing the arrows of everyone with his mana was possible, but that wouldn't be something fast or would make Billy level up his skills.

In the end, Billy found a different answer that he wanted. While his friends were imbuing arrows with mana and attacking the fire golems, he made his earth golem run toward the enemies. Once they began to attack, Billy made his creature jump as high as possible. In the blink of an eye, the earth golem was five hundred meters above the battlefield, and while using his magic, Billy made it fall even faster than it was supposed to. Once the massive golem fell, a massive curtain of dust emerged, and the ground around the area trembled. Billy smirked when he saw hundreds of fire golems being split around the area, but he smirked even more next.

…

Without having to hear the orders, the students began to attack the fire golems that fell nearby them. Since they weren't that close to the main group, they didn't have the advantage of their troublesome heat aura. Regardless, those kids had been trained well since they could react that fast and make good use of such a golden opportunity. In any case, Billy checked his control over the Earth golem, and he confirmed that it was still almost completely intact. It was surprising, but it wasn't at the same time. Earth magic was probably the ability that Billy trained the most, after all…

In the blink of an eye, dozens of fire Golems jumped and grabbed the earth golem. However, Billy didn't have any difficulty making the creature jump again. He repeated that same tactic over and over again since it was working wonderfully. Unfortunately, Billy had to make the golem after a few of those crazy jumps. Fortunately, Billy had more than enough mana to do so.

"Sarah is probably having a hard time protecting Aura's territory by herself. Shall we send some Reinforcements?" Billy asked.

"I don't feel like I am doing much, but I still want to be here," Kate said.

"I feel the same way," Alexander said.

"You guys are so spoiled…" Billy said and then sighed. "Since that is the case, you guys can help to do something else while making good use of your abilities."

That was something that Billy wanted to do. Still, he didn't have the opportunity, and he was too busy controlling his Earth golem. Still, there was a good chance that those two muscle heads could pull it off. After telling them what they needed to do, Alexander and Natalie took a few seconds to concentrate and then they began to prepare and do what Billy told them… First of all, they assumed their most offensive stance. The ones they assumed when they were about to use Swift Strike and Light Spear. After that, they strengthened their arms with the breathing technique and their weapons with as much as they could pour in it.

They swung their weapons with all their might toward the enemies in the next moment. In the end, three small blasts of pure energy were fired toward the fire Golems. Even though they were one hundred meters away, they were completely destroyed by the attack, and many others deep on the enemies' lines suffered the same fate.
