Chapter 323  A War Between Three Races [Humans Against Beasts And Elves]

“Attack!!!” A loud roar broke the silence as the elven chief gave out his final orders. Their scouting team had reported that the humans were fighting the beasts and that the perimeter around the other end of the mansion was unguarded.

The chief took this as a perfect opportunity to capture a strategic point and then attack the remaining humans from behind. Hence, capturing the human base and resolving the difficulty while dealing with humans.

Not to mention, the elves were highly underestimating their enemies. After all, from the reports they had, the enemy army consisted of young teenagers that hadn’t had their powers fir long.

As the order rang through the elven army, the elves marched forward. Their weapons were ready and the whole forest was their playground. That was until,

‘Boooooomm!!!’

A huge explosion took place. As for how it did, the answer was simple. A projectile had been fired and it exploded right in front of the elves. As for where the projectile came from? This was just a small warning sent by Ray as he had tasked ten soldiers to be on guard and fire at any unknown person.

“We have been spotted,” the scout shouted as the elves changed their formation. From a spearhead formation, they stood in rows and took on a rounded shield formation. This way, the elves had formed a semi circle with the tanks at front to defend against incoming projectiles.

As they changed their formation, ten more rounds were shot. This time with higher damage as the rounds were larger and hit with more force than before.

With the rounds hitting the elves, the advance was slowly stopped as the pressure was now on the incoming elves. Seeing this, the chief decided to take action. Stepping forward, he raised his staff and chanted,

“Barrier of the World Tree,”

As he did, the staff glowed a greenish hue as the energy around it condensed and spread outward towards the advancing elven force. It formed a barrier over them as finally, the dread of the incoming projectiles was weakened. The elves continued their advance and as they did, the situation changed yet again.

On the roof, a student with a rifle in his hand took out his badge. Tapping the badge thrice, he sent the message to Ray. As for what the message was, it was to inform Ray of the advance of the elves.

“You did well enough stopping them for now. It’s now our turn to deal with them,” Ray’s voice was transmitted from the badge as the student smiled slightly and went back to his position. His job wasn’t done yet, if not the elves; he had the beasts to take care of.

Meanwhile,

Ray observed the elves as they moved forward. He turned around and looked back at his team. The others looked back at him and nodded, signaling that they were ready as well.

“Okay then, now we show these elves what’s best for them,”

Saying those words, Ray along with his team finally caste out of their hiding spot. Stepping out, they appeared right in front of the elven army.

“Huh?” Shocked by the sudden appearance of the team, the elven formation broke for a second before they reorganized themselves. After all, the elves were experienced warriors and acted on the spot.

A fire ball flew in the air as it made its way for the team. Not just that, but hind the fireball were several mire fireballs as they all came out to hit the team.

“Barrier,” Ray’s calm voice was heard as suddenly, a multi-colored barrier was raised in the air. Hitting the barrier, the fireballs disappeared; as if they didn’t even exist in the first place. It was the upgraded version of Ray’s barrier ability as he had used a dozen perfect-tier beast crystals to upgrade his ability,

“Feels good to use this ability after a long time,” Ray muttered as a smile graced his face, making him look even more charming. Though, very few noticed it as everyone was keenly focused on the enemy.

“Guys, i will leave the small fries to you. Till then, lemme have some fun with the guy holding that staff,” As Ray gave out the order, his eye changed as his right eye turned a grayish hue while a starry void appeared in its pupil. After gaining more control over his bloodline elements, Ray had realized that he could now move the bloodline energy between his eyes and even though it didn’t have any effect, he could use this technique in some ways when one of his eye might be damaged.

“Hey you!!” Ray shouted as he pointed his finger at the elven chief, “Yes you, bald man with an over sized staff, come here and fight me,” As Ray taunted the elven chief, the chief’s head turned red as he got pissed off by Ray’s words.

“How dare you!! You despicable kid, i will tear you to pieces,” the chief shouted back in anger but still didn’t attack. After all, he knew that the kid was trying to trick him into attacking first and therefore he just kept on with shouting without taking action.

“Well, listening to your words do remind of your daughter; though she begged me to tear her to pieces when i had some fun with her. Man she really loved it and would want it again and again,” Ray clicked his tongue, as if reminiscing about some fantastic moment. Even his face turned red as a perverted look appeared on his face.

“What did you say?” The chief shouted in anger. His eyes burning with fury as his whole body shook due to the anger he felt, “How dare you do that with my daughter, i will kill you,” the chief shouted as he had finally lost his calm.

The staff glowed a green light as the chief’s whole body was covered in the same greenish hue. It seemed as if the chief had achieved some sort of equilibrium with the staff, utilizing its powers and keeping the output at a safe level. 𝚘𝗏𝔩xt.𝒸𝐎𝑚

“Interesting,” Ray muttered as the chief finally got ready to attack. Roaring in the air, the chief acted more like beast rather than an elf and pounced on Ray. It seemed that talking about his daughter had really affected his sanity. Not that Ray cared for it, the more the chief lost control, the better it was for Ray.

“Hehe…gotcha” Ray grinned as the chief got closer to him. Right before the chief attacked with his staff, Ray side stepped and dodged. The momentum carried the chief forward while Ray raised his arm and commanded a few Void Shards that had appeared out of his spatial storage. Flinging his arm forward, the shards flew towards the chief while Ray clasped his hands and used his newly unlocked spell,

[Fire Bullet], it was a relatively easy spell and consumed less mana than the Fire Ball while providing accurate aim and focused damage. As he chanted the spell, twenty bullets appeared all around him, their color dark red as they seemed to be condensed to the limit.

‘Fire’ he shouted as the bullets turned into reddish blurs and flew forward. While they did, Ray didn’t stop casting his spells as revised both hits hands in the air and shouted at the top of his lungs,

[Lightning Fury],

The skies rumbled as his mana was released into the air. The mansion was his territory and he had set up some arrays beforehand amongst those arrays was a weather modifying array and using that array, Ray had altered the weather to some extent and brought out the clouds.

As his mana influenced the clouds, they rumbled as blueish streaks formed all over them. These were the lightning bolts that Ray had influenced to be created and he used more of his mana to control them. In short, Ray had to use one fourth of his mana to play out the spell but to him, it was worth it as right after a dozen lightning bolts struck the ground and not just the chief but they were very precisely aimed at the top strongest elves that were present.

Of the twelve, three came down at the chief as they hit him at point blank. Seeing the lightning bolts coming for him, the chief was startled. He didn’t know that the kid was able to influence nature and procure bolts of lightning with such speed.

Of course, Ray could have produced the lightning bolts but doing that wasn’t enough as these lightning bolts were at least twenty times more powerful than the ones he created.

“Arghhh..” The chief grunted slightly as he didn’t care. Even though he had evaded the previous attacks, a couple of fire bullets had hit his shin and due to that, his mobility was affected and the chief knew that he couldn’t dodge this attack.

Therefore, using the energy of the staff, he decided to take the attack head on.
