Chapter 282 Run

[Please don't buy the next chapter as it is a duplicate of this chapter which was caused due to the site and a lagging network. Apart from it being annoying to you, I'm also annoyed because I will have to edit it later and it's another stress. For one, I'm supposed to release two chapters today but I can't because I'm under the weather. Note that I even had to skip class today because of this so I'm sorry and I hope I get well enough to upload this book. This is also a raw chapter so grammar errors might appear. ],

[Third Person POV],

The earth mage was the first to act as he immediately shouted the name of his spell when he was ready to attack.

"Earth Magic: Earth Boulder", The earth mage shouted and immediately after doing so, the earth 15 metres around him began to become unstable as the ground started scattering but this was not all because after the ground in front of the earth mage began to scatter, a second later, the earth in front of him began to rise.

Yes, it was rising as a certain part of the earth was initially rooted to the ground and started to rise in the air and it took a long time for this large piece of earth to become a very huge chunk of earth compressed into a big ball that was more than 5 metres in height.

When Ace saw the large piece of earth compressed to make a huge ball, he thought that the name of the spell 'Earth Boulder' was indeed fitting because of the sight in front of him but this was none of anyone in the pit business as the earth mage gave another loud shout before using both his hands to direct the hovering earth ball to the dragon phantom.

BOOM!!!!

ROAR!!!!!

Another explosion-like sound resounded in the den again followed by the angry roar of the dragon phantom that could do nothing but roar in anger and annoyance due to being unable to do anything and just passively receiving an attack defenceless.

The attack from the earth mage was effective though since the dragon phantom figure became slightly more transparent and after the other mage that was under Andrew Dawn shot his own attack at the dragon phantom, it became even more transparent.

The two mages were not the only ones who wanted to attack the dragon phantom in this state as Andrew Dawn was even creating a more terrifying attack but unlike the other two mages who both cast spells to attack the dragon phantom, Andrew Dawn was planning to attack with nothing but the mixture of his two elements at their highest.

Doing this made it faster to conjure an attack that would still have a reasonable amount of damage and putting aside the lightning element of Andrew Dawn, just the soul energy mixed in the attack was enough to elevate this seemingly simple attack to a level that it wasn't much weaker than a really structured spell.

Looking at the terrifying long spear solely conjured from Andrew Dawn elements which were still growing above his head, Ace couldn't help but take a step back due to the danger alarms he was receiving in his head from the gigantic spear that made his chest tighten.

It wasn't only him that did this as even Andrew Dawn's men did the same as they all took several steps back except that different from Ace, their actions weren't exaggerated.

While all this happened, Andrew Dawn felt it was already time to release his own attack and with a roar, the gigantic black lightning spell in mid-air descended on the dragon phantom and while the speed of the decent appeared slow due to the black lightning spear being huge, it was very fast that Ace could only see that it was descending due to the spear being huge.

What he never expected was that after the lightning spear came in contact with the dragon phantom's head, there was no sound like the usual explosive sounds that has been going on in the den but the roar that came from the dragon phantom this time was painfully wretched.

It wasn't hard for someone to know that this attack must be one of the attacks that really did real damage to the dragon phantom and might even be the highest one but that's none of Ace's business right now because although the figure of the dragon phantom did get more transparent, the white huge chains that had bound the dragon phantom started to have cracks as the body of the dragon phantom moved a little.

It hadn't been able to even move a little well due to the number of chains that held him down so when he finally moved his body in a very obvious manner, something was made clear to Ace and the others.

It was clear that the dragon phantom was already managing to free itself and it was going to be soon given that the cracks on the huge chains were increasing bit by bit by the second and when everyone in the pit including Ace, they all had a dignified expression on their faces as they prepared to attack again before the dragon phantom freed itself.

Unlike the others who could pull out fancy big moves, Ace could do none of that as his mana would not even be enough to even pull an attack capable of harming the dragon phantom.

This was what Ace thought when an idea suddenly came to his mind but due to it being too risky that he had to get close to the dragon phantom, Ace was about to dismiss it when he suddenly had another idea as he turned to look at the others who were preparing attacks to fire at the dragon phantom again.

The figure of the dragon phantom was very transparent at this point and looking at how things were currently if the same attacks that were fired before can be fired again, Ace was sure that as long as there was still a little bit of combat power left after the dragon phantom frees itself, it wouldn't take long for them to defeat it and complete the quest.

Of course, this could only happen if the attacks were strong as before or even stronger to cause heavy damage to the dragon phantom.

As Ace thought of these things, he brought out two metallic-looking balls from his storage ring.

The two metallic balls in his hands were indeed runic explosives but different from the ones he had used in the den ever since he had been here, these two runic explosives were not ignite runic explosives but explode runic explosives.

Aside from the others making the dragon phantom weaker from their attacks, it was the damage caused by the runic explosives in his hand that will determine if he could also contribute to this fight against the dragon phantom so as Ace watched as the others finally began to attack the dragon phantom again, he quickly made his way a little closer to the dragon phantom at a distance that wasn't dangerous.

'I wonder if it will roar again like the previous times', Ace thought as he watched as the others attacked the dragon phantom.

[Third Person POV],

Perhaps it was because he saw that his past attack was effective or because he had another reason but the earth mage decided to attack the dragon phantom with the same attack he had used before but it was evident from the slightly smaller size of this earth boulder that the earth boulder spell was not something that could be used casually which was understandable because it won't be an ultimate move if it was that easy to use causally.

The other mage's attack was even less impressive as his new attack wasn't even as effective as his first one although it did cause a reasonable amount of damage as well since the dragon phantom figure did get more transparent from both mages' attacks.

Unlike the two mages under Andrew Dawn who could only send out relatively weaker attacks, unlike the first one they delivered, Andrew Dawn's attack still did not lose out by getting weaker in the second round.

Unlike the first attack which was a singular attack, Andrew Dawn's attack was different this time.

It was still the same lightning spear but multiple individual lightning spears that were relatively far fewer on their own but when they gathered in a dense amount above Andrew Dawn's head, the pressure they were emitting was not weaker than the first attack and was slightly stronger in fact.

It was just that before Andrew Dawn could fire the attack, the chains that were binding the dragon phantom suddenly scattered at the same time but thankfully for everyone, Andrew Dawn's attacks were still fast enough that the dragon phantom was unable to react by trying to dodge immediately after it got the chains of its body.

BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

BOOM!!! BOOM!!!

Watching as the numerous lightning spears continued to descend on the dragon phantom as the den shook more, Ace took a deep breath and dashed towards the dragon phantom's location immediately after the last lightning spear descended and by the time he got to a reasonable distance from the dragon phantom after the dust caused from Andrew Dawn attack, Ace saw as the dragon phantom opened its mouth to roar and before the roar could even happen, there were already two metallic balls that had been thrown into its mouth by a certain someone.

BOOM!!!!!
