Mage of the Abyss: Siola Mithra

Chapter 19 - Genoa Boss Fight

A level 50 undead boss against the level 10 me. Its huge butt could crush me at any time except for the fact that it's a toad, and I made use of that limitation to sneak up behind it. Why at this point it doesn't notice me, I wonder. I'm standing right behind it looking up.

I mumbled, "Ignition."

The flare of fire swirl at the center of my chest before engulfing my entire body fully. It's like an aura made of flame, but it doesn't extend to my axe. Regardless, I activated the fire within the spell. Created embers at the surface of the axe's blade. Glancing at the toad's bottom, I blew the embers at it.

"Combustion!"

*BWOOOOOSH*

{800}

It jumps away the moment it felt its ass burning.

*Crooak *Croaaak

Turning around, I can see its dead fish-looking eyes, opening its mouth and revealing the flexible tongue that made me have a hard time before. But this time, it's different.

*Woosh*

My eyes peeled as I see it coming at me, "Combustion!"

*BWOOOSH*

Staggered as its tongue burns. I deactivated [Ignition] as quickly as possible. Turning my head and scream, "NOW!"

The old men carrying the injured and Galliano carrying Dura on his back. At my signal, they ran as fast as they could while the toad is having a hard time dealing with the flame cooking its tongue but before I make another move, Galliano yell out, "Don't DIE! We still need you!"

I raise my hand high, clenching my fist tight!

'Can't let that thing recovers and change its aggro,' dashing forward to close the distance, '1600 Stamina points, but the regen is low. I have to go all out and end it as soon as possible.'

*Crooaaak*

My eyes peeled seeing the toad's tongue move even with the flame still there.

*Woosh*

Kicking the back of my foot, I flip myself backward. Whilst in the air, I can feel the tongue and the flame passing my hair.

*Splash*

That was not a proper backflip. Made me land on this damp wet dirt, the tongue is ready to swing itself at me. I rolled to the side as it tries to hit me, but it was a second too late.

*SPLASH *SPLASH *SPLASH

Regaining my footing, I quickly muttered, "Ignition!"

Summoning my axe, "Combustion!"

*BWOOOOOSH*

(1200)

Burning the tongue once more. It should've been stunned by that, instead, the toad insisted on attacking me further. My arm weighted by the power of Earth Magic imbuing my axe, I raised, "Wall of Stone!"

*BOOM*

Preventing the toad's tongue from attacking me any further.

[Mana: 3120/4000 | Stamina: 1488/1600]

'Already burned that much just by casting a few spells. Wait, I wonder what would happen if I go all out in one combustion?'

'No time to think, let's do it.'

"Ignition!" I climbed the stone wall I made and quickly prepped to cast the spell, with the embers appearing on my axe's blade, "Combust—"

My eyes peeled as suddenly; my body is tied by the toad's tongue. I didn't expect it to be able to react that fast. Looking down at me. Making my teeth grind in rage.
