YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 409: Hidden Grounds

FWOOSH FWOOSH WHOOSH

Flames were whipped and icicles were shot. A volley of red and blue gleamed all over the forest, the ground turned frozen and the bushes scorched to charcoal in mere instants, a dangerous fight turned even more so.

The Ragonea has stopped limiting itself from physical attacks alone, now engaging in a battle between magic. The left head breathed fire which burnt everything it contact with whilst the right head shot ice, piercing all obstacles in sight.

It rode the wind as if it was light as a feather, climbing the trees and leaping along the canopy without much difficulty, launching direct attacks and ambushes in random sequence, making its pattern unpredictable as can be.

"Markab... Alpheratz... Defend!... Me... Algenib.. Attack!" ［Scheat］

The familiars which had been coordinating flawlessly were struck by chais, but it didn't take them long before they organized themselves, two of them in charge of defending against whilst the other tackled the offensive.

The left head opened its mouth and a pillar of flames burst forth towards the spirits, rushing forth towards Alpheratz who was of the plant attribute. However, there was no trace of fear nor worry in its eyes, resolute as can be.

Rather than worrying itself, it lashed away its vines and sent a torrent of poisonous needles towards the Ragonea, curving the trajectories ever so slightly to make sure they weren't burnt by the flames hurling towards it.

RUMMBBBLLEEEE BOOM BOOM BOOM

However, not a single lick of flame was even able to touch Alpheratz. Before it could even get close to it, Markab had sent the earth rumbling, creating not just one, but three consecutive walls of stone to block the attack.

The first wall was melted by the flames, and the second wall was charred, some slight cracks showing up here and there. However, the third wall remained standing and untouched, and so was the green spirit hiding behind it.

THWACK THWACK THWACK WHIMPEERRRR

The needles continued to curve and soon enough, started pouring down on the rabid Ragonea. It was able to avoid most of the needles which followed the first strikes, but a few were more than enough for the spirits to gain some ground.

It may not be very powerful, but those needles were packed with poison which numbs and paralyzes the body, the more it takes. It was only a couple drops, but such was more than enough to make the Ragonea's movement slower.

GRRRRRR WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH

Lashing out of rage, the Ragonea didn't hesitate to fire away both another pillar of flames and another volley of icicle shards, both heads rampaging and eyes burning passionately with the flames of anger and hostility.

Markab created a couple more walls again, but against the penetration power of the frozen icicles, it was quickly broken down without much resistance. However, it was not useless at the very least. It managed to slow down its momentum.

The momentum of the icicles slowed down enough for Alpheratz to catch it with its vines and change the direction away from it. It even hurled some of the icicles back to the Ragonea and made it have a taste of its own medicine.

THWACK THWACK SHATTER SHATTER

The icicles which were flung back didn't manage to hit the Ragonea at all, some not even close to hitting, some melted by the flames, and some shattered by the other icicles, however, counterattacking was the enemy's biggest mistake.

Because of the curtain of flames it spewed out before it, its vision was limited in the front and it didn't notice what absurdities were happening. Amongst which were the strange mounds in the ground running towards it.
