Chapter 260 - Excellence
Seeing Evan take down her subordinates with ease, Nuria realized he was far from an ordinary mage. She assumed he was a member of some 'dark' organization or worked for vampires at all and prevented anyone from knowing their location.
She decided to use three magical artifacts at once and cast one of her most powerful spells.
"Get out of there!
" Shouted Nuria and swung her staff.
A huge wave, more like a tsunami, struck Evan. It easily tore down dozens of trees in its path and would just as quickly engulf Evan. He could not run away from a wave of this size, so his only option was to defend himself. The best defense was the offense.
He put his arms out in front and cast Magic Missile and One-Eyed Raven's Beam. He decided to use Magic Missile even though it was a zero-level spell because it had excellent punching power.
He wanted to make a hole in that tsunami, but if he just cast One-Eyed Raven's Beam, most of the hit would go to piercing the shell of that tsunami. What's more, Evan was going to use three whole spells, not two.
"Reykar!
" Evan said loudly, and a purple raven appeared on his shoulder. Since their first meeting, Reykar had grown many times stronger, thanks in large part to Evan. What's more, his intelligence has increased significantly, so he understood what Evan wanted from him without explanation.
His beak glowed, and a second later, three powerful beams of energy were directed at one point. Evan cast Magic Missile a little earlier, so the white beam reached the wave faster. It couldn't do much damage to the wave, but it broke through the outer shell.
Moments later, two purple beams of enormous power exploded and rumbled throughout the forest. The explosion sent a shockwave that caused the crowns of trees to bend almost to the ground. The powerful explosion destroyed part of the wave and split it in two. The two pieces passed Evan, demolishing everything behind him.
"What?! Why is the monster helping him?
" Nuria exclaimed, puzzled. With each passing second, she became less and less aware of what was happening. Whatever she was doing, Evan was finding a countermeasure.
Crackle.
Suddenly three orc-like creatures crawled out of the ground. They wore steel armor and were armed with massive axes. Behind them, a flash of flame could be seen, which quickly turned into a five meter high fire elemental.
The Summoners entered the fray. Before that, they buffed Amplifiers but now decided to summon their most powerful creatures and kill the monster.
The two orcs and the elemental had no intelligence of their own. They were like puppets, but they had basic instincts. The summoner did not need to control his summoned creature's every move.
Raven headed towards the two orcs. Evan started casting
"Ball Lighting.
" It was his most powerful spell. He thought that it would produce an incredible size explosion when such powerful lightning and fire came together.
Evan was attacked, but he ducked and headed toward the elemental. He turned into crimson lightning and got to the fire elemental in the blink of an eye. By that moment, Ball Lighting was already composed entirely of red lightning and was ready to explode at any second.
The fire elemental attacked him, but it was too late. Evan threw Ball Lighting in the elemental and covered himself by arms. The ensuing explosion would hurt even him.
Boom.
The bolts of lightning destroyed the fire elemental, and the flames significantly amplified the explosion. Dozens of red lightning bolts flew in different directions and hit some members of the reconnaissance team.
In just one spell, Evan killed three people and took out a powerful summoned creature. Reykar also did his part work. The orcs were pierced by his enhanced beam and fell dead before him.
In the end, only three people remained against Evan, one of whom was Nuria. She was unlucky enough to be hit by a single red lightning bolt, but she could defend by sacrificing her arm. Her left limb was now more like a large lump of coal. She needed to heal immediately.
Her spatial ring glowed, but instead of a potion, an amulet appeared in her hand. She held it to her mouth and whispered something. Evan knew at once that Nuria was calling for help.
In one leap, he reached Nuria and brought the black scythe down on her. She tried to defend herself with the staff, but the scythe blade quickly cut through the staff, and the tip of the Dark Reaper slammed into Nuria's chest.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
" She squealed in pain.
Evan didn't stop, he pressed the weapon even harder, and the scythe pierced Nuria's heart. Blood trickled from the girl's mouth, and with hate-filled eyes, she fell to the ground.
The amulet fell to the ground, and Evan instantly crushed it. Evan didn't know who Nuria had called for help, but he didn't want to know. Evan looked at the two remaining mages and looked at them coldly. They were Creators at the stage-the One-Pointed Star with one flame. Such opponents could do nothing to Evan.
Suddenly the girl fell to her knees and began begging Evan for mercy,
"Please don't kill me! I'll do anything.
"
She knew that the two of them could not do it against the man who had so easily killed their comrades and commander.
Evan wanted to kill this girl, but suddenly he remembered that Virion had asked him to get some information from the members of Azure Bridge.
"Okay.
" Calmly Evan said and looked at the second surviving mage. He was very frightened and couldn't even utter a word.
Evan swung his hand, and a second later, the guy's body was pierced by a dozen razor-sharp feathers. Reykar lowered himself to him and began devouring his body in large chunks.
"Now tell me everything you know, or I'll hang you upside down and slowly cut your flesh off.
"
The girl shuddered with fear and slowly mumbled,
"We...
"
But, no sooner had she said two words than a dagger was thrown through her head.
