It was a coordinated attack.With a terrifying mix of brute strength and animal cunning, the huge beasts set upon the town, their massive paws pounding against the walls and roofs of the houses, their powerful bodies shaking the very foundations of the buildings as they sought to penetrate the defenses of the terrified townsfolk.
With every blow and every impact, the beasts created breaches in the walls and openings in the roofs, exposing the people inside to the fury of their relentless assault.
As the larger beasts focused on breaking into the structures, the smaller beasts displayed a different kind of cunning and agility.
As the larger beasts created breaches in the structures, the smaller beasts took advantage of the destruction, slipping into the gaps and crevices like tiny terrors, their eyes gleaming with a predatory hunger as they searched for victims to torment.
The smallest of the beasts, their bodies no larger than a house cat, were particularly adept at infiltrating the homes, crawling through the smallest of holes and gaps to seek out the inhabitants inside.
Once inside, the tiny beasts would spring into action, their sharp claws and teeth causing devastating damage as they attacked with a vicious intensity that belied their diminutive size.
As if their savage strength and sharp claws were not enough, some of the smaller beasts possessed elemental magic, their abilities making them even more deadly in their assault on the townsfolk.
The beasts with air magic were particularly devious in their attacks, their control over the element of air allowing them to slice through the air with razor-sharp precision.
The air mages among them used their powers to create blades of wind, their magic slicing through the thatch and wooden roofs of the houses as if they were made of paper, exposing the inhabitants to the merciless onslaught of the beasts.
The windows of the houses, once a source of light and air, became a deadly vulnerability as the air beasts smashed them in, their magic hurling debris and shards of glass into the homes with devastating force.
As the beasts with air magic tore through the roofs and windows of the homes, the fire mages among them stepped forward, unleashing torrents of flame that danced across the buildings like a wave of destruction.
With each blast of fire, the heat inside the homes grew more and more intense, the family members inside forced to choose between suffocating in the smoke and heat or fleeing into the waiting claws and teeth of the beasts outside.
Whether the families chose to remain inside their burning homes or make a desperate attempt to escape, the outcome would be the same and the beasts' mission would be complete.
Even as the air and fire beasts wreaked havoc from above and around, the earth mages among the beasts were hard at work, using their magic to shape the very ground beneath the homes of Nahama into deadly weapons.
With a few well-placed motions of their claws, the earth mages summoned forth golems, massive constructs made of earth and stone that rose up from the ground like monolithic giants.
With a deafening roar, the golems charged at the houses, their bodies slamming into the structures with unstoppable force, their impact shaking the foundations of the homes and causing the walls to weaken.
In a chilling display of coordinated brutality, the earth mages and the larger beasts worked in tandem, their powers amplifying each other to devastating effect.
As the larger beasts charged at the houses, their bodies battering the structures like living battering rams, the earth mages used their magic to loosen the ground beneath the foundations, causing the buildings to tilt and sway dangerously as the ground shifted and churned.
In a chilling display of strategic savagery, the water mages among the beasts held back their magic, refraining from using their powers to douse the flames that raged through the town.
While water is typically seen as a quenching force, in the hands of these elemental mages, it was a deadly tool that could be withheld to inflict maximum suffering on the townsfolk.
As the water mages watched the fires rage, the heat and smoke intensifying with every passing moment, they waited patiently for the right moment to unleash their magic, their eyes glittering with cruel anticipation.
With a flick of their claws, the water mages unleashed their magic, unleashing a torrent of water that coated the wooden structures of the homes, saturating the wooden beams and planks with moisture.
The water, heavy with moisture and imbued with elemental power, began to seep into the wood, weakening the structures and making them more susceptible to the destructive forces of the other beasts.
As I marched forward with the other mages, my eyes could not help but be drawn to the horrific spectacle unfolding around me.
The beasts worked together with a terrible efficiency, their magic and strength combining to devastating effect.
The earth mages laid the foundations for destruction, the fire mages unleashed their fiery fury, the air mages sliced through the defenses of the homes, and the water mages weakened the structures, each element of the attack working in perfect concert to create a symphony of devastation.
As the horror of the scene before me settled into my bones, I knew that I had to be ready to defend myself and those around me.
Instinctively, I reached for my fans, the delicate weapons slipping into my hands with ease.
With a sharp flick of my wrists, the fans snapped open, the blades catching the light as I drew upon the mana within me, coating the blades in a shimmering sheen of magic.
The power of the mana thrummed through me, a sense of determination and focus settling over me like a second skin.
As I prepared for the impending battle, a surge of excitement coursed through me, a heady mix of adrenaline and anticipation that sent a tingling sensation dancing across my skin.
The more I focused on the mana that flowed through my body, the more the tingling grew, transforming into a subtle itch that seemed to crawl along my limbs and spine. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I clenched my teeth, suppressing a shiver of excitement as the itch turned into a burning heat, a primal urge to let loose the power of the mana that coursed through my veins.
With a clarion call that rang out across the battlefield, Prince Juan charged into the fray, his sword held high as he cried out to the mages around him.
"Fight for your kingdom, mages!" his voice thundered, his words filled with both fury and determination as he led the charge against the beasts.
