Re: Love & Magic

The magicians on the ground and those flying around the group of people who were evacuating gulped with evident fear in their eyes. None of them was a 2nd-class magician, so it would be hard to kill that snake!

The total people in this group numbered around two hundred, while there were three 3rd class magicians, six 4th class magicians, ten 5th class magicians, and Zevien.

“Attack it!” Zevien gritted his teeth and shouted, “all the 3rd class magicians here. Please attack it with your full power while 4th class and below use control-type spells on it! We are more in number!”

“Right! We can kill it if we work together!” a bearded middle-aged man spoke as he nodded at Zevien, “Alucard, I have seen your matches and had noticed that you have a black bubble-like spell that can confuse or do something to the mind of anyone hit by it. Even if it works for one second per hit on this beast, can you use it continuously?”

*Shssss~*

The serpent hissed while they were talking and flapped its wings, which created a big dark-green cloud above them. Everyone’s face changed as they quickly conjured barriers because they knew that the rain of this cloud would be deadly even if they’d never seen it before!

Several barriers popped out as no magician held back! Even Zevien used 1000 mana for maximum potency of Omni-barrier while invoking Somatic Sadness because he was indeed sad to see this catastrophe upon them. He consumed additional 500 mana to increase the size of the barrier to cover the entire group like other barriers.

*sh..sh..sh..sh…*

The dark cloud started raining deadly green rain with very potent corrosive power. The drops made holes in the barriers, but people sighed with relief when the drops couldn’t penetrate all the layered barriers.

“It’s a matter of time,” a 3rd class magician spoke while gritting his teeth, “this attack is very potent and continuous! We have to attack the serpent before this dark cloud’s rain eats everyone!”

Zevien took out a mana stone with 20,000 mana capacity and put it inside his magic eidos body before shouting, “my spell can null all of its senses! But since my mana potency is low against a 2nd-grade magic beast, it might only work for one or half a second! However, I will continuously release it, so prepare your most powerful offensive spell to attack it!”

After shouting, Zevien took a deep breath as his eyes gleamed with black flashes. He focused and opened both palms before conjuring a Blackout Bubble on each palm! “I am ready! Open the way in front of me!”

The barriers opened a slight gap in front of Zevien as he exerted his full strength to dash before flapping his wings to fly outside.

“I will blow away the clouds so everyone can release their prepared attacks after dispersing barriers!” A 3rd class magician woman also flew out behind Zevien while speaking.

Zevien’s heart was beating wildly, and he was sweating buckets, but he gritted his teeth and focused before shooting a Blackout Bubble towards the serpent that could kill him with a single attack.

The serpent didn’t even bother dodging an attack since it saw Zevien’s mana had weak magic power fluctuations. However, the moment the Blackout Bubble hit it. It screamed in panic after losing all of its senses. However, it only lasted for a fraction over half a second. However, before it could regain its senses, Zevien released another Blackout Bubble while conjuring two more on his palms.

The 3rd class magician woman also waved her hand and used a tier-3 spell, Wind’s Fury, as powerful and expansive gusts of wind formed and attacked the dark cloud.

“Attack!”

All the barriers dispersed before everyone cast their most powerful offensive magic spells, be it awakening magic spells or others!

*Booom!! Grrrr!! Bam!! Zapp!!…*

“Shaaaaaaa!!” the winged dark green serpent hissed in anger. Still, Zevien was continuously hitting it with Blackout Bubble, so it could only focus on passive defense by conjuring an opaque green cloudy barrier around it after the first barrage of attacks from magicians.

The civilians and classless magicians had started moving after the magicians dispersed the barrier.

“RUN FASTER!”

‘Zevien,’ mother Helena looked back in worry, but she couldn’t stop her feet. She and the kids were at the end of the group.

Zevien looked at them before shouting, “GO!” He then turned his face to the serpent but couldn’t hit it with his Blackout Bubble anymore since it conjured a barrier. He quickly recovered his mana to full with a mana stone inside his magic eidos body. Zevien, Vernisia, and the others always kept ten mana stones in reserve inside the storage ring since everyone had the money to afford such an amount.

*Hisss!!*

After regaining its senses, the serpent removed the barrier and waved its tail toward Zevien in anger! It was this ant that caused it trouble!

*Swoosh…* A dark green slash conjured from its tail and shot towards Zevien. The slash was wide and long, but most importantly, it was fast!! There was no chance of dodging it!

“No!”

“Alucard!”

“Dodge!”

Other magicians looked in panic and tried to cast their defensive-type spell on him, but their eyes showed despair for him as they knew they wouldn’t be able to make it in time.

Zevien was frozen in fear for a brief moment before his eyes turned red, ‘ACTIVATE!’

Right before the slash was going to hit him, the Mirror of Oz-Fin appeared in front of him and conjured a giant mirror in front of him. Despite the mirror not being as broad and massive as the slash, the moment the slash touched the mirror, it was absorbed inside!

*swoosh…* As the mirror absorbed the slash, the slash materialized in front of the dark green winged serpent and….

*Slash!* *hiss….*

The winged serpent was slashed into two by its own attack! Deader than dead after hissing one time before dying!

The other magicians were surprised before sighing a relief while Zevien put back the mirror into his magic eidos body.

‘Damn….,’ Zevien cursed as his legs felt weak. He literally felt that death flashed past him when he saw that attack.
