Spellcast: Seeking the Adderstone

ALEISHA JEAN

• • Φ • •

Five arrows and ten cards were making their way towards the symbol on the forehead of the monster which is starting to get up.

Before it can even carry its body, the cards and the arrows struck the symbol. That made the monster shriek while the igneous rock covering on its body slowly melts and drips down on the ground. Was it possible for igneous rocks to melt into lava again?

When all the rocks have melted completely, it revealed a blazing torso made up of lava. The hotness of the red-orange liquid radiates in the surrounding, and it seems like my body is close to burning. Every breath feels like my lungs were being fried slowly. My air sacs are getting too much heat.

Dark clouds have formed once again around the area as the monster looked seemingly dangerous around it. It eyed us with a deathly stare. One shoot from it, and we will be a as good as a burnt toast.

"Ashlyn, can you do something?" 

Water came out splashing from  Ashlyn's arm to the creature's leg. The water only evaporated and created smoke around the area.

"Use this chance, now!"

A loud growl came out from the monster's mouth before starting to attack us with molten lava. As its loud and hoarse voice echoes around the area, cracks started to appear on the ground. 

"Taste my wrath!" the demonic voice spoke once more.

I cannot protect myself with my bow so I summoned my wand instead. My magic circle appeared beneath me.

'Obies prasidium.'

The others were also using their wands at this point. We cannot come close to that tall lava creature, because basically, we will burn ourselves.

Explosions occurred all at once at the center where it was standing. 

My magi is slowly depleting. We need to finish this as soon as possible.

"Preamia maxima!"

"Iactre!"

"Bolindium!" I heard Skyler cast loudly.

A bright and blinding light appeared from the tip of his wand as the smoke caused by the reaction of Ashlyn's water  to the monster's lava dissolves into thin air. The monster is now holding its eyes while groaning.

Skyler's now crimson red irises shone as he makes his way towards the monster. He is walking with his head held high. Every step he takes makes me want to kneel on the ground. 

This overwhelming presence, this powerful aura, the authority, and the pride. There's no doubt about him being the holder of the Zodiac Aries.

The red string is getting more visible as he nears the monster. Like a rope, those strings from Skyler connects to the different parts of the monster's body.

The monster groaned loudly before balling its hand into a fist and throwing a punch to Sky.

"Stop." He closed his left hand, and just like his command, the monster's fist has stopped before it nears his direction. 

"Hear me," Skyler said, his voice low and cold. My senses heightened, attention focused on the man in front.

"You will not move, even an inch. Your breath will be held. And no sound from your mouth shall be heard." He said as he closes his other hand.
