Chapter 647 Cap 645: Zenos Causes A Wave Of Monsters Part 5(Chapter Preview)

Pov Érica's:

While Athena is slaying some aerial monsters I look down to where a swarm of Acid Ants is heading towards the Elf village.

I take a deep breath to clear my mind before casting my first spell creating a magic circle beneath me as I keep myself in the air.

"< Aura Amplification >" (I)

Unlike the others, I don't have a lot of time to spend studying Aura control, so my Aura control is pretty basic.

But that doesn't mean I don't know how to use my Aura, real magic users don't directly control their Aura, we use magic to control and direct our Auras for specific effects that match the capabilities of our Auras.

This time what I need is Amplification, making my Aura spread over a much larger area than I can directly control, this will make the next spell more accurate.

I spread my Aura and mana encompassing all the Acid Ants that stopped while they were looking up.

"Looks like I've been noticed, but it doesn't matter." (I)

"< Curse of the Damned >" (I)

I focus my magic creating a purple magic circle, then use some of my Demonic energy to make the magic more powerful.

After that, I pour my mana creating copies of this magic circle in quick succession, hundreds of them per second which are directed towards the Acid Ants below guided by my Aura, because of this kind of work I have to keep my concentration all the time while ignoring everything around.

I had to wait a few minutes while doing this, but after finishing marking all the Acid Ants with my magic curse, I open my eyes in time to see a few monsters being ripped to shreds by Athena's magic that is protecting me.

When I look down the Acid Ants are up in the trees trying to reach me, I look in the middle of them where there are over 100 Acid Ants 3 times their normal size surrounding an even larger Acid Ant with golden stripes.

I smile before creating a new magic circle in front of me, I focus my affinity with the fire element while using cursed energy.

"< Fire of Damnation >" (I)

"< Fire Arrows >" (I)

With the Flame of Doom burning its red and purple color in front of me, I create yet another spell that uses that fire to create thousands of arrows that rain down on the Acid Ants below.

Soon I see the fire spread, the Acid Ants start screaming as a burning smell begins to spread through the air.

I smiled at the sight of that sea of ​​red and purple fire below me.

The flames weren't burning even a blade of grass or tree, only the Acid Ants were being burned and would continue until they turned to ash, I marked this fire to only burn the targets of the curse I used earlier.

Ding!!!!!!

"With that, the work is done, time to return to the battlefield." (I)

I fly back as the strange birds Athena has summoned follow closely behind me, on the way I pulled out a piece of roast beef for a small snack.

"That burning smell whetted my appetite." (I)

----------

Pov Ibuki:

I drink more potion bottle already to recover my mana, I was sitting on top of a mountain of corpses of many different monsters, and I was looking sullenly at one of my swords that broke.

"I apologize for your sword, Miss Ibuki." (Alice)

"Don't worry about it, she wasn't very good anymore." (I)

"But it broke protecting me... because I'm still very weak..." (Alice)

"Weak is someone like Nolan, you who stood by my side for almost two days of non-stop fighting, there's nothing weak about you." (I)

"< Shadowblade Rage >" (I)

While talking to Alice, I throw my sword covered in black energy to the ground, the energy goes out of the sword to the ground creating a magic circle with the sword as the center, then shadows from the minutes near me are pulled into the magic circle before become swords like mine made of shadows, then those swords go back to the owners of those shadows by piercing them or at least most of them.

"< Ice Dance >" (Alice)

I look at Alice using a mixture of the techniques the master taught with the techniques Sophia and I taught, she is fast moving while her short sword makes the poisonous beetles attacking us to pieces.

Her sword not only slashed the enemies, but it also froze them in a position that turned the enemies into walls of ice and stayed with the monsters that were still coming out of the forest.

"You improve at an incredible speed, congratulations Alice." (I)

"But I think it's a good time to get some rest." (I)

"It's all right." (Alice)

POV Sophia:

I was flying on Aurora's back, and I still had a bit of trouble fighting in the air, but after a full day of air battles yesterday, I already feel like I've improved a little.

"< Aura Fist >" (I)

As I was flying, I had two big transparent fists at my side that I could control as if they were my own hands.

This was a technique that took me a long time to train and needed a lot of help from Ragnar to learn, but since yesterday I've noticed how well my effort has been rewarded.

I can use these big Aura hands to attack or defend, plus I had good control over these invisible hands to be able to increase or decrease their size as needed.

At this point, I use one of my big hands to defend the metal feathers that come flying towards me while I use the other hand to crush the metal bird behind me.

Aurora meanwhile had torn apart another of these monsters with her claws, after which she creates pressure with her strong wings to fend off a flying fish's water jet attack.

"Damn, they never seem to slow down!" (I)

No matter how many mortals I killed, there always seemed to be more, I was already exhausted, using Aura doesn't consume energy, but still has the physical and mental exhaustion of doing it, finishing off those few around me I'll take a few hours rest and let the mages take care of things.
