Chapter 114 - Lava

All monsters pounced on Evan and Gerda at once. The young men didn't expect such a fierce attack, but when their opponents were close enough Evan began to attack.

Swing.

He swung his scythe at lightning speed and sliced one of the lizards in two. The two frozen halves of its body rumbled to the ground, but there were still too many enemies. Evan couldn't handle them all alone.

Whoosh.

A lizard-like monster jumped at him, but Evan took a step back, thereby missing the monster's blow. Evan quickly turned around and kicked the monster. This attack could not kill the monster, but it immobilized it for a while and now it was no longer a threat to them.

Whoosh.

Immediately after this attack, another lizard attacked him. The monster opened its jaws wide and intended to bite Evan's left arm off. The young man had no time to dodge this blow, but suddenly the monster's head fell from its shoulders and its carcass collapsed right in front of Evan.

Gerda saved Evan with casting a

"Wind Cutter

". The girl had a keen eye, so she was easily able to hit the monster at the very last moment. A little more and Evan would have been seriously injured.

Gerda was a

"Creator

", and Evan was an

"Amplifier

", though he wasn't sure of that himself. Their duo had a pretty good synergy. Evan would never miss an enemy, and the girl could back him up if necessary.

What's more, each of them was an outstanding newbie magician, they could definitely stand up for themselves.

Whoosh.

Evan didn't even look at the monster's carcass lying in front of him, he didn't have time for that. He ran swiftly at another lizard. The monster tried to attack Evan himself, but as soon as it opened its mouth, an icy blade ripped it open.

So in just a few seconds, Evan and Gerda had dealt with three lizard-like monsters: one of the remaining ones was wounded, while the other was in no hurry to attack. It hadn`t expected Evan and Gerda to be so strong.

However, the biggest problem was the two

"Blind Death

" monsters, while Evan fought the lizards they were looking for a convenient moment to attack.

Whoosh.

One of the blind monsters ran toward Evan at incredible speed. Its sharp blades rained down on Evan, but the young man easily blocked them with his scythe blade. But, the second

"Blind Death

" was not going to wait for its comrade to be killed.

While Evan was busy blocking the two blades, it attacked Evan from behind.

Gerda saw this and reacted instantly. A brown magic circle appeared in the air behind Evan and a huge boulder fell on the black monster.

Whoosh.

The

"Blind Death

" monsters were considerably stronger than the lizard-like ones. They had no eyes, but all their other senses were heightened. The monster easily realized that Gerda planned to crush it with this boulder.

Whoosh.

The monster tried to bounce to the side and avoid the boulder, but suddenly it met an obstacle. For some unknown reason it could not move. Evan knew that

"Blind Death

" would have no problem dodging the boulder, so he cast

"Summon Thorny Ivy

".

The ivy vine wrapped itself around the monster's hind paw and immobilized it. Of course, in half a second, the monster would be free of its bonds, but he didn't have time for that.

Bam.

The boulder came crashing down on the monster and crushed it, the monster's body was very strong, but even it couldn't survive the fall of a boulder that size.

While Gerda dealt with the second

"Blind Death

", the first monster decided to retreat. Its blades were already beginning to cover with ice. Like the last time, it tapped its front paws against each other and knocked a layer of ice off them.

At this point, there were only three monsters left against Evan and Gerda. Two lizards and one

"Blind Death

".

Evan thought to himself as he looked at his opponents. The monsters weren't going to attack them, as they had no desire to die. However, that didn't mean they were going to let Evan and Gerda go.

Boom.

Suddenly, a lava geyser exploded a few meters away from the monsters. It posed no threat to them since the monsters were at a safe distance.

The lava was slowly spreading over the ground, and Evan decided he could use it to win.

Evan thought to himself and sprinted toward the monsters.

Seeing him charge at them, the monsters had no choice but to strike back.

Whoosh.

The two remaining lizard-like monsters ran at Evan, but he didn't even pay attention to them. He was focused on the

"Blind Death

" and the lava geyser.

Bam.

The two lizards attacked Evan intending to tear him apart with their sharp claws, but the young man just leaned in. The monsters' claws flew a few inches above his head.

Swing.

Evan made two swings with his scythe and the snow-white blade plunged into the monsters' flesh. From this position, Evan could not cut them in two, but he inflicted wounds incompatible with life.

Only the blind monster remained. It was ready to block Evan's attack, unaware of what the young man was up to.

Whoosh.

Evan swung

"Reverse Death

" from the top down. The snow-white blade covered in blue ice and rushed toward the monster's head.

"Blind Death

" instantly reacted and blocked Evan's blow. Nevertheless, it would not be able to retreat this time, Evan would not allow to do so.

Whoosh.

Evan took a turn and kicked the monster with a swing.

"Blind Death

" could not block this blow, since its front paws were busy blocking the scythe.

In another situation, the monster might have simply retreated, but now the monster would fall not to the ground, but into the red-hot lava, right into the center of the geyser.

Evan hit hard enough to make the monster fly a few feet away and he did it perfectly.

A few seconds later, the monster's body burned to the ground in the lava.

"Great.

" Mumbled Evan looking at the scattered carcasses of monsters around him.

In just a few minutes, the two of them had managed to kill so many monsters. It was an excellent result, but Gerda wasn't entirely happy with the situation.

She was glad that they had taken out their opponents so easily and without getting hurt, but Evan's strength amazed her to the core. Every time she saw Evan kill another monster, her confidence in winning a one-on-one fight faded.

"Amplifier

", I need to think of something urgently>

Gerda thought to herself and followed Evan.
