The magic beasts that normally have the goal of killing humans took a 180 degree turn as they aggressively approached the two magic beasts at the peak of the Senior Rank
"What is happening?" One of the soldiers can't help but ask after watching this unbelievable scene. Previously, both humans and magic beasts were dying with the number of the former higher than the former considering that most of them were injured or played supporting roles
However, the scene of carnage halted as the magic beasts seemed to have a change of heart
"This should be the doing of Elder Priss!"
"Right! I remember people calling Elder Priss the Pink Fog Enslaver!"
"Her offensive magic is very strong but was weaker than most of the other Elders but the other Elders would rather choose to fight another Elder than Elder Priss!"
"Elder Priss can control magic beasts using her pink fog and in a large-scale war, her ability is more useful than even two Elders. There are also rumors that Elder Priss can also control humans with her pink fog. Because of that, the other Elders wouldn't want to fight her!"
"We're safe! With Elder Priss's might, these damned magic beasts will all die! Hmph, serves them right! I saw them killing my close friend!"
The magic spell that Elder Priss activated gave a breather to the humans and they had the energy to discuss things. However, are things really as optimistic as they are saying?
While Elder Priss can control magic beasts below that of the peak of the Senior Rank but it doesn't mean that it was easy to control them
There is the mana consumption but the most important thing is the strength of her soul! Her pink fog that can enslave magic beasts is a soul-type magic spell. Naturally, the user should have a strong soul and the spell also puts a burden on their soul
While she was able to barely control even the high cycle Senior Beasts, it was greatly burdening her, and at normal times, she definitely wouldn't do something like this as it was not cost-effective. After all, these beasts are not much lower than her in rank, hence, the burden was extremely high
However, she has no choice. She was not alone. Around her were the soldiers of the human side with many of them being injured and on the brink of death. Many of them are also not Battle Mages and instead have production-type or healing-type abilities
Few of them are good at fighting and if Elder Priss focuses on fighting the peak Senior Beasts, the casualty rate would rise exponentially. As such, she has no choice but to use a large-scale soul-type magic spell to enslave the magic beasts. Even if she cannot use them to kill the most powerful enemies, she would still be able to save many lives
Her magic spells can control magic beasts but they are merely temporary control. She has to constantly use mana and her soul power to continue controlling these magic beasts
Since the control was temporary then might as well squeeze everything that these magic beasts could offer, right?
As the strength of the magic beasts grew, it became a bit harder for the peak Senior Beasts to kill them. It's not that they are unkillable but the difficulty and also the energy expenditure has become higher than before
This situation also gave Elder Priss the chance to cast another spell and in this world, real magic spells are stronger than simple magic
Elder Priss held her scepter and she pointed it at the two peak Senior Beasts. At the tip of her long scepter, a magic circle formed along with potent magic fluctuations
"Deal with these little shits. I will deal with this bitch!" The bee-type magic beasts said and she let the lizardman kill the magic beasts and also humans attacking them to deal with Elder Priss
The magic beasts also mobilized her mana and the stingers at her back trembled before more and more stingers grew on her. In the end, she grew five more stingers, ending up with 6 stingers!
The stingers as usual ejected torrents of honey but this time, both the quality and quantity were of a higher level than the previous times
She was just in time when Elder Priss successfully activated her spell and from her magic circle, several hands condensed from pink fog flew out and blocked the torrent of honey
For a while, the two were in a stalemate before Elder Priss started to lose. At normal times, Elder Priss at the very least might tie with the bee-type magic beast but currently, her mind and attention are divided
She was still using a rather significant amount of power to control the magic beasts. She cannot exert her full power to fight the bee-type magic beasts
She was slowly losing the clash and if that wasn't enough, the bee even smirked before she moved
She was actually able to detach her stingers from her back and these stingers are still releasing torrents of honey without their strength weakening at all!
With that smirk on her face, the bee ran towards Elder Priss at full speed. A ball of honey gathered at her palm, intending to slam it on the Elder's face to blow her whole head but her opponent naturally wouldn't let herself get killed
Despite the injury on her left arm, Elder Priss still used it to throw a bottle of potion toward her opponent to defend herself from the attack
