Chapter 150: [Out of the box!]
[Nvida’s POV!]
.
.
“[Earth Magic: Shaking Tremors!]” I shouted as I took control of the g and hit it with a huge load of earth mana.
Bursting with mana, the g began trembling furiously, dis-balancing all the monsters on the g, making it difficult for them to march forward.
And as they fell,
“[Absorb!]”
Trisha absorbed those monsters as nourishmt for the living trees that were fighting along with us.
The monsters were strong and numerous but…
‘Just how far can he see?’ I thought, amazed again as I saw those arrays coming at me, recharging my power back to full immediately. Not only mine, but Trisha’s and everyone else’s as well.
“How long do you think we need to hold?” I asked, as I wondered how long this charade would go. It wasn’t like we were losing, but didn’t seem like we were winning either.
“[Burst!]”
“[Blow!]”
“[Create Gale!]”
“[Fireball!]”
And there were those mages that kept attacking the monsters from the rear. Ev though they didn’t need to do it since Trisha and I were ough for them, they still didn’t stop helping us.
“Miss Nvida. How long is this going to go on?” One of the elves who was protecting us asked as he stopped another monster from reaching us.
I turned to Trisha for answers regarding that. Didn’t I already ask this question before?
“Get ready. The next phase is about to start,” Trisha spoke as her eyes turned gre and she activated one of her innate skills that only High Elves can use.
“[One with Nature!]”
And th her body dissolved into the air slowly while I looked at the forest slowly growing more dse and greer.
“Prepare your best,” I commanded the elves, and they nodded before I looked at the monsters coming at us.
‘So… in the second phase, he will transfer all the people inside the dome towards us… but how?’ I asked as I recalled his words. He has told us everything that is going to happ, will happ or can happ.
Though he never explained how… so I wonder.
And the answer came immediately: cracks appeared in the area a. Whether it was the forest or the air, there were cracks prest, as if the world itself was being torn apart.
‘Huh?!’
And a strange fear crept upon me, as I felt the presce of something beyond the cracks.
I couldn’t see it properly, but behind those cracks… was a monster far beyond any of us could ev imagine.
“Just what is going on in there?” I questioned as I looked at the cracks floating a for a few seconds before…
Someone jumped out of one of those floating cracks in the air.
“Huh? I am back?!!” It was a normal citiz who seemed shocked for a momt before a relieved smile appeared on his joy filled face,
“I am alive! I lived! That nightmare is over! I AM ALIVE!!!”
And behind him, more came from the cracks.
‘So these cracks are connected to the city, huh? Can we go inside too?’ I thought before I tried looking into those cracks.
But that fear crept up on me, screaming, and I took a step back again.
“Hey you! Just what is going on inside there?” I mustered up my courage and asked one of the people who escaped from the city.
He looked at me with slight fear, as if recalling a nightmare, and th turned a to see at the cracks from where more people were jumping out.
“Monsters… perhaps death himself. That’s what we felt. If not for that dark mage and that array master…”
He mumbled before getting silt again.
Those monsters were still coming at us, and ev though I wanted to know more about what was going inside… I still had work to do.
“[Life Magic: Bitter Heal!]”
It was a spell that healed allies and killed any of the forces of the darkness. Surely a perfect spell for a situation like this.
“I… I will help as well…” spoke that man as he stood up, took up his sword and began chanting some spells as he waited for the weaker monsters to come.
It wasn’t just him, but everyone that came out of the cracks slowly started turning a and began fighting against the lower monsters.
I could feel that those monsters carried the ergy of death. Anyone who looks at it would surely feel a hold of fear on them. Yet…
‘Why don’t I see fear in their eyes?’ I thought as I looked at the people supporting each other while killing those monsters.
The monsters kept charging, people kept coming out. There were elves, dark mages, common folks, advturers and demi-humans.
And they fought against the monsters together without holding a shred of hatred for one another. For a momt, I forgot these people used to always be out for each other’s necks.
‘Just what in the world is going on?’
As I was confused, I th saw the forest glowing bright gre. And some branches that the trees were forming grew at a rapid speed before tering into the cracks.
My eyes narrowed as I saw the monsters were slowly reducing in numbers.
‘It’s still going to take some time,’ I thought as I saw the number of monsters.
But th…
Something happed.
A bright light? Or perhaps an area wide spell? I don’t know what it was, but…
Something was inside those cracks that shone brightly. So bright… so warm…
“World magic…” and I heard the surprised voice of Trisha, who appeared behind me with her eyes narrowed in one of the cracks.
‘World Magic?!’ I was shocked as I looked into the crack where the bright light was coming from.
“To think I would witness World Magics on the same day… ” And Trisha spoke again as she looked at cracks, making me ev more shocked.
“Let’s conctrate. It’s about to d,” Trisha added as she vanished again from there, leaving me dazed as I looked at the cracks from where the never ding light was still shining.
“Just… what is going on inside there?”
I stared blankly at the cracks while the monsters slowly withered on their own, not being able to survive against the pure light.
