“Regulus Roar!” Soleil chanted. A huge wave of fire is then released from a fiery silhouette that manifested in front of her.

“Fire Bellows!” Peridot chanted. A red magic circle appeared below the bound Sylphis and a huge torrent of flames erupted from it.

“Inherent Fire Arrows!” Alder chanted and released five arrows made of orange flames.

Sylphis did not care for the trivial attacks that are going to hit it. It was a higher elemental, and it was proud of its resistances from the other elements. All it needed to do was create a vortex that would absorb the flames.

Sylphis just thought it was bound but it could still use its powers. As it was trying to move the mana in the surrounding, it suddenly lost control of it. The higher elemental could not believe that it was unable to gather wind elemental mana.

“Debilitating Curse!” Creepysoo cast which made the higher wind elemental cast slower.

“Invocation Break!” Cersei cast which made the higher wind elemental have a 50% chance to fail in invoking magic spells.

Sylphis was still confident with its body resistance. It was sure that it will not get killed by the spells that will hit it. The confidence plummeted immediately when an unknown force made all the greater wind elemental abomination get pulled towards it.

When all the greater wind elemental abominations were pulled towards Sylphis due to Quantum Cascade. As soon as that happened, all the fire attribute spells hit Sylphis. A blazing inferno suddenly erupted which was about three times more powerful than the first one.

Adrian knew that they will not be able to survive it if they were to get hit by that. Kabrakan’s diamond coated shield suddenly shined bright, and he slammed it into the ground.

“Crystal Shell!” Kabrakan stated as he slammed his two towering shields.

The diamond like crust started to travel towards Sylphis in a fast pace. It soon formed a dome made of something like diamond or crystal. It then trapped the higher wind elemental inside that dome. Numerous explosions sounded inside the dome with an accompaniment of ghastly screams.

The crystal shell was supposed to be a wide defense skill that blocks attacks from the outside. Kabrakan used his wits to immediately think that it would be better to enclose the enemy with the dome instead of them. He wanted to finish this battle as they need a lot of time just to fight Cristobal.

The crystal dome did not seem like it would last as cracks started to appear and its health dropping at a fast rate. It seems the contained explosion is much more powerful than what they expect. Soleil’s passive skill increased the damage of all fire type attacks she and her allies does which explains the explosive force.

Adrian knew that they will not survive if the explosion spreads. He needed to do something, and he thought of one. He needed to lock the space where the crystal dome is located. Isolating the space so that the fiery explosion will not affect them.

“Paradox, what will happen if I forcefully isolate the space surrounding that crystal dome?” Adrian asked the Cube of Paradox.

“There is a 40% chance that master will die due to exertion of his control over space when it is already volatile. If master uses all the essences and energy that that he has then the risk will lower to 15%.” Paradox replied.

“If I use you as a medium, will the burden be lessened?” Adrian asked as he thought of using the Cube of Paradox’ unique interaction with origin energy as a loophole. 𝑖.𝑐ℴ𝑚

“The risk will lessen up to 10% with you consuming all your energies and essences.” The Cube of Paradox replied.

“I will take that chance.” Adrian stated as he filled The Cube of Paradox with his mana while using all his energy and essence.

“Commencing skill: Miniature Spatial Lock.” The Cube of Paradox stated as it separated into tiny pieces and created a prism.

The prism looked like it was made of a purple glass that would shatter with a great blow, but it was just the manifestation of space isolating. The crystal dome finally shattered and Kabrakan’s weapon came back to him. Upon the crystal dome shattering, they saw Sylphis still perpetually burning and screaming.

It is also that time when Adrian felt how powerful the backlash of the space isolation. He started coughing blood just five seconds in. It was not only the fiery inferno that he is trying to isolate but also Sylphis’ attacks.

The higher wind elemental is letting its attacks thrash about in an attempt to shatter the Miniature Spatial Lock. It must also be the reason why the Crystal shell broke faster than Kabrakan anticipated. With each attack that Sylphis made, Adrian would cough blood.

Adrian is now losing 5% health every three seconds and it increases to 10% whenever Sylphis attacks. Adrian is determined to hold out as he saw that Sylphis health is already below 40%. Due to the current situation, Levin Cloud, Anastacia and Saena are all focusing on healing Adrian which is a huge burden.

The Cube of Paradox’ calculations also considered the healers in the team as participants. Since it considered the healers as a factor, there will be no power of friendship or whatever to happen in this situation.

The flames started to die down as soon as Sylphis’ health reached 10%. Adrian was also about to die as he started to even reject healing magic. There is a condition called mana intoxication where healing managed is reduced or ineffective depending on the severity.

The flames died down and Sylphis is left with 7% health. It launched an attack against the prism and Adrian had to let go of his control. Adrian’s health is in the red while Sylphis started attacking aimlessly once more.

Vayu had to use one of his most powerful skills. His blade started to glow in a bright peach color and his body turned illusory. His eyes glowed in the same-colored light and he did a word drawing stance.
