Chapter 153 Getting out of control? Sigfor steps in!
Chapter 153
Evelyn looked at the dummy in her hands before gazing back at Oliver, who nodded at her. Her fingers tightened around the dummy, feeling the weight of what they were about to demonstrate.
She pulled her hand back and, with force, threw the dummy into the air, aiming towards the floating water cage in front of Oliver.
The dummy flew in an arc straight towards the intended location, landing directly into the cage of water constructs. The surroundings fell silent, all eyes following the dummy's trajectory.
The moment the dummy landed inside the cage, a reaction occurred, visible to everyone present.
Swish! Swish!
With a swift gesture, the beams of light that were continuously reflecting inside the cage collided with the surface of the metal, immediately distorting its plain surface, slowly breaking it—melting it down as the ionized radiations passed through it.
The metal hissed and bubbled, its form warping under the intense energy.
Every single person watching this could not help but hold their breath. It was too terrifying—beautifully so.
The sight of a cage of water reflecting lights and melting literal metal—for some reason, the scene looked unreal.
Light and water, the two most sensitive and docile elements known...
The two elements known for being used mainly in defense and healing...
Yet, what were they seeing right now? Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
The same two humble elements were showcasing a destructive might that was far greater than any other elements. The water shimmered, refracting the light into lethal beams, while the light itself seemed to pulse with raw power.
Suddenly, all of them felt that their combinations so far were as good as mud in front of this.
Was this how it was supposed to be?
Should they not have shown something related to healing or barrier arts?
What was this even?
How was light even able to pierce through metal? And damage it too?
And what was the water even doing other than bouncing off lights?
There were many questions that their childish brains could not understand.
However, one person was able to grasp everything and see it thoroughly.
'Maddening! Absolutely maddening!'
Sigfor's mental state was in turmoil. Everything he had seen so far had lost any sense to him.
He was staring at the demonstration by the two kids with eyes as wide as saucers; he could not take his eyes off this genius spectacle at all.
His hands trembled slightly, barely containing his astonishment.
Sigfor's eyes trembled when he heard this.
If Oliver stopped now, the water constructs would instantly turn back into liquid form, and the light inside, which was currently a high-energy beam, would explode out.
The realization hit him like a cold splash of water.
He did not worry about the other children thanks to the barrier he had faith in.
But he was not so sure about the two kids inside. They might not be unharmed if that happened.
"What are you doing!? Did you guys not practice this before coming here!?" Sigfor asked in a loud voice, a hint of agitation in his tone.
"Well, the thing is... we did not do it to this degree. Whenever the light would get a little powerful, we would cancel it immediately..."
Evelyn said in a small voice. She was also looking at the cage with distress. She was far away; the one who would get hurt the most would be Oliver if it exploded.
"You what!?"
Sigfor was so angry at this moment that he wanted to beat these two. The previous admiration for their talents and intellect was quickly consumed by the rage he felt for their careless behavior.
His hands clenched at his sides, knuckles turning white.
It was simply life-threatening for them!
To act without knowing about the proper consequences and not care about anything, not only were they risking their lives but also the lives of their comrades.
He could not help but grit his teeth in irritation.
This was a really risky situation. Both of them might not realize this, but he did.
"Step aside!" he yelled at Evelyn, making her flinch. She looked at him with conflict; she did not want to leave Oliver behind.
Should she try and control those light rays inside? It seemed to be quite difficult, but she would not allow someone close to her to get harmed because of her abilities.
She trembled as she started to put her hand forward towards the light. When it seemed that she was about to try it despite the warnings, a loud voice interrupted her unstable thoughts.
"JUST DO IT!" Sigfor could not take her indecisiveness any longer and roared furiously. She was just wasting time.
The boy might have tremendous espera, but it was not infinite. He would run out of it sooner or later, and from the looks of it, he seemed close to it.
The moment he lost control, the explosion would happen. Before something unthinkable happened to either of them, he had to intervene.
His voice was so loud thanks to espera that all of them had a ringing sensation in their ears.
"Yes..." she said weakly before glancing in Oliver's direction one last time and making her way towards the edge of the barrier, quietly exiting it.
Sigfor waved his hand and sealed off the barrier, allowing no one to enter anymore.
He solemnly looked at the water cage with deep eyes. He could forcibly try to push it down, but he might hurt the kid in the process.
He had no choice but to enter the barrier himself.
A sense of urgency pushed him forward.
