Chapter 197 - Superior Spirits

The temperature was obviously freezing but strangely Kevin didn't feel any discomfort, he asked Axel how it was possible using their telepathic link and Axel replied that it was due to their level and their increased Stats, their bodies had become immune to the temperature change.

Kevin was relieved to hear this because he really didn't like the cold and as he looked more closely at the room they were in he saw that there were two openings in front of them.

Ian then said to them : "On the right are the weaker Elemantaries and on the left are the stronger ones and the dungeon boss, so what do we do ?"

Just as he asked this question a dull rumble was heard and the walls of the room began to shake, the stalactites that were on the ceiling came loose and headed towards them at great speed.

But before they could even be a threat to them, they were intercepted by a fire spell that suddenly covered the entire ceiling and walls, and when the fire spell disappeared, everyone looked at Ian dumbfounded.

He hadn't even moved a finger and in front of their stunned faces he asked them : "What, that was too much ? At least we don't have to worry about all this ice anymore."

Liam put his arm around his shoulders and said : "Not bad !"

Ian smirked and Liam then asked Kevin : "Do we split into two groups or do we stay together."

Kevin immediately say to him : "We stay together, we have time, and I would really like to see all the different Elemantaries, of course with Erik we promise to stay away when it gets too dangerous."

Ian then said to Liam : "There aren't that many, it should be quick anyway, let's stick together, Kevin and Erik can learn from watching you fight."

Liam raised an eyebrow and he asked : "By watching us fight ? You're not going to fight with us ?"

Ian said confidently : "Axel and Alan won't be able to beat the boss alone, they'll need a little help, so while you help them I'll stay with Kevin and Erik to protect them."

Liam nodded, he knew that Ian wouldn't let anything happened to them so he said : "Let's do it this way then, Kevin, Erik, we'll start with you."

Ian headed with Liam to the right opening and Kevin and Erik followed them with a determined step ready to fight against these Elemantaries, Axel and Alan meanwhile stayed behind to ensure, just in case, the safety of their men.

Kevin activated his perception and observation skill, because even if he was going to kill them using only his weapons, he hoped to take advantage of his fights to copy some spells.

And as the hallway began to expand again, notifications started to pop up everywhere.

Crap, Kevin thought, Ian had said there weren't many of them, was he kidding them or what ? Kevin quickly counted the number of his notifications and there were 24 in all.

[ STATS ]

Name : Wind Elemantary

Race : Superior Spirit

Class : Elite Mage

Level 56

HP : 2 400 / 2 400

Mastery of the Wind Element level 5

Unlimited spells

Kevin then exclaimed : "Unlimited spells ? They can use spells at will ?"

Ian said without looking at him : "Damn, I forgot to warn you, Elemantaries are really special beings, they are neither human, nor shapeshifters, nor demons, so they are not governed by the same laws as we are.

And thanks to that, they can use and manipulate the particles of their element as they wish without any restrictions."

He added just to reassure him : "These ones won't cause you too much trouble, the power of the spells they can cast only depends on their level."

Kevin frowned displeased, if their reserve for using spells had been limited like theirs, he would still have had a chance to copy spells but now he could say goodbye to that idea, why would they use spells of level 4 when they could use spells of level 5.

The closer he got the more he could see what the Elemantaries really looked like and indeed they did have a humanoid form, the Earth Elementary looked like a wood nymph while the Wind Elemantary, although he could discern a human appearance, it looked more like a tornado.

And as Liam had explained to them earlier in this large room that must have been the same size as one of their training grounds, there were only Earth and Wind Elemantaries.

The weakest of them were between level 45 and 58 and he didn't need to show Erik the strongest ones who were all between level 60 and 70, because they were much bigger than the other ones and there were only 7 of them.

He just told him : "The biggest of them can use spells of level 6 while the others can only use spells of level 5.

Don't forget to protect yourself with your chakra and use other Elemantaries to protect yourself from their spells. There are quite a few of them so let's kill the weakest of them quickly first."

It was something he had learned from the other dungeons he had already looted, the strongest did not intervene to save the weakest, so they might as well start with the weakest of them because there were 17 of them.

Erik nodded and after that Ian and Liam who were making some sort of barrier in front of them moved aside to give them room to fight, the Elemantaries no longer sensing the danger of these two powerful auras began to move to focus their attention on those who appeared to be hostile to them.

Kevin, who had forgotten to ask how to kill Elemantaries, used his Vital points targetting skill, and curiously these Superior Spirits had only one vital point.

He smirked, this skill required 50 Soul force points but it was well worth it, he said to Erik as he picked up his daggers as he didn't need to use his shortswords to beheaded them : "They only have one vital point and it's where the sternum is supposed to be."

Erik seemed surprised but wasted no time in asking how he knew this and after grabbing his axes, he charged straight at his first enemies, concentrating his blows on their sternum as Kevin had advised him.

And Kevin quickly joined him, the Elemantaries were dropping like flies, and like with the Vampires, their bodies disappeared immediately once they were killed leaving only different colored crystals behind them.

The Elemantaries quickly stopped casting spells because each time these humans managed to use one of their own as a shield and they took advantage of their moment of weakness right after being hit by a spell to kill them.
