Chapter 144 Evan Vs Elecrus

**BAM

The force behind Elecrus' aura burst, was enough to send Evan flying into the air, however, the young hero stretched out his hand and activated another skill right before he crashed onto the ground.

'Energy Blast!'

Ambient magic power condensed in front of his palm, before being launched out as a beam of yellow light.

Elecrus who was about to chase after the airborne Evan had no choice but to stop as it had to dodge the beam of energy that was launched in its direction.

Evan took advantage of that brief gap to get back up on his feet, activating his mystic eyes as he gazed at his opponent.

The moment Elecrus charged toward him, Evan kicked off the ground, dashing towards the blade wraith and swinging his sword in an upward arc.

To counter him, Elecrus swung its blade downwards, taking its right hand off the hilt of its sword and throwing a punch toward Evan's face.

**SWOOSHH!!!

Evan felt the force of the punch as he dodged it by a paper-thin margin, twisting his body around as he pulled his sword backwards before swinging it towards Elecrus' right side.

However, as if expecting it, Elecrus simultaneously pulled its outstretched hand backwards and grabbed Evan's blade with its palm, slightly surprising the young hero.

His momentary surprise reflected in his movements as he unconsciously reduced the force of his blow, giving Elecrus an easier time as the blade wraith took a step back without letting go of Evan's sword before lunging forward in the next second.

The monster's actions shocked Evan back to his senses, instantly realizing that he could not pull his weapon away as the monster's strength was higher than his.

'Even if our stats are both considered 'C-', there's still a difference!'

With that thought, the young hero discharged a burst of lightning from his body, immediately switching attributes and releasing flames right after.

"Just because you only use lightning, doesn't mean I would do the same!"

He screamed out as he let go of his sword and jumped backwards, stretching his two arms out as he activated his energy blast skill.

Two beams of red light were launched from his palm in the Blade wraith's direction, causing the monster to take defensive action.

Elecrus coated both its sword and Evan's with its golden aura and used them to deflect the beams of light, however, Evan didn't let up, utilizing more magic power to rapid fire his energy blasts.

While keeping Elecrus occupied, he opened up his inventory and pulled out his spare sword, swinging it at Elecrus as he activated his aura slash and concealment simultaneously.

His body screamed at him in pain but he ignored it and sent multiple invisible aura slashes at Elecrus.

However, although they were not visible to the eye, it was still possible to know something was there as his concealment was imperfect due to the strain on his body from activating three skills at once.

'Taking my mystic eyes, that's four!'

Evan immediately deactivated the aura slash the moment he was done, transferring the effects of his concealment to himself as he stopped his onslaught of energy blasts.

Elecrus on the other hand, flinched as it sensed something coming its way even though it clearly couldn't see anything.

It then noticed that the energy blasts that were coming in pairs had suddenly stopped. Instantly connecting it to the weird feeling it had earlier, the blade wraith coated its body in a thin layer of aura, just in time for the first aura slash to hit and cancel out its own aura coat.

Elecrus was about to move out of the way, but the next aura slash came right after, hitting its right leg and breaking its balance.

This allowed the remaining five aura slashes that Evan had sent to hit it without obstruction, save for the two that it had accidentally blocked with its sword.

Its body armour was cracked in various places, however, the creature's real body remained relatively unharmed.

It was at this point that it finally noticed, that Evan was nowhere in sight!

Before it could even fully understand the situation, it suddenly sensed a jarring amount of magic power in close proximity.

"Vortex."

Hearing the voice of its opponent softly call out, Elecrus felt a chill down its spine as it tried to move out of the way, however, with its messed-up balance, it was simply impossible for it to move out even with superior agility.

Moreover, Evan had teleported a short distance of less than two metres away, it wouldn't have been able to escape the range of vortex even if it on form.

The large whiling mass of magic power forcefully slammed into its defenceless upper body, shattering its armour and giving the blade at the centre of the magic power storm an all-access pass to its real body.

**PUK!

Evan's sword stabbed into the monster's back, with the young hero dispersing the vortex and infusing the blade with flames as he twisted the blade.

"GRAA!!!"

Elecrus roared in rage and rose the two weapons in its hand overhead and stabbed towards its back.

"WHoA?!"

Evan hurriedly let go of the weapon, not before activating a flame magic spell on it to deal more damage to the unfortunate Elecrus.

"Fire Magic: Flame Grenade."

**BOOOOMM!

A small ball of flames formed right beside the sword and exploded, causing the blade wraith to scream out in pain but Evan wasn't done yet.

"Fire Magic: Spiral Flames."

The glow of his mystic eyes brightened as he utilized the spell he had copied from Xakon during his battle with the demon.

Flames were generated from the palm of his hand, coming out in a spiralling motion, which created a tornado-shaped blast of flames.

The intensity of the flames was too great, scorching the floor of the dungeon here it passed as the spell made its way to its target.

Seconds later, the still recovering Elecrus was met with another blast of flames, screaming out in rage as it used its aura to protect its body before rolling out of the flames' path.

"Bang, bang, and BANG."

Evan playfully called out as he tossed three small balls of flames towards Elecrus as the blade wraith kept rolling on the floor to avoid whatever was tossed at it.

**BOOM! BOOM!! BOOOOOMM!!

The three balls of flames, flame grenade spells, exploded on contact with the ground, sending out shockwaves that tossed the poor blade wraith into the air.

Evan slammed his fists together, lightning crackling around them as he pulled his right arm backwards, kicking off the ground immediately after as he dashed towards the airborne blade wraith.

'Huh? I'm faster?'

Those were Evan's thoughts as he threw his right fist into the monster's torso with all his strength, sending the poor blade wraith flying once more.

Right after he punched the monster, he realized he had punched it in the direction of where Pride and Glavore were having their showdown.

"AH! Pride, duck!"

The high demon reacted before Evan could even speak, as she had already sensed the incoming presence from behind her and had jumped out of the way.

However, Glavore wasn't so lucky as it didn't expect for its fellow blade wraith to be suddenly sent flying in his direction.

**BAMM!

Elecrus crashed into Glavore, and the two of them were slammed into the wall behind them, creating a large spider web-like crack on it due to the force of their wall slam.

"Sorry about that."

Evan spoke as he walked up to Pride while wiping off the blood on the corner of his mouth with one hand with the other entering a small black hole that was about half a metre long in diameter.

He took out a magic potion and downed it instantly, taking a deep breath immediately after while keeping his gaze on the two blade wraiths who were struggling back to their feet.

"Can I lean on your shoulder for a bit? Chaining multiple attacks really took a lot out of me."

Pride lowered her blade and glanced at the boy's state before asking a question with a raised eyebrow.

"Did you perhaps activate three skills at once again?"

Evan flinched before turning his gaze elsewhere and whiling suspiciously. Pride only heaved a sigh before turning around and speaking.

"Let's use this time to go assist Eliza.

We have to time out entry so her opponent would not expect it. Let's do it like this..."

The duo began planning on their method of attack while watching Eliza's fight against Leviron, occasionally making comments on some of her actions.

Mid conversation, Evan suddenly slammed his palms together and created about half a dozen small balls of flames.

He then turned around and tossed them in the direction of Elecrus and Glavore, giving the two blade wraiths more work as they had to avoid the sudden attack.

Evan did not let it end there, mimicking the effect of the flame grenade spell with lightning magic as he tossed balls of lightning that exploded upon contact in the direction of the two.

To end it, he then stretched out his hand and activated a basic shadow magic spell.

"Bind."
