I'll become a villain in my next life

Chapter 178: Unwelcomed Guest

[Grand kingdom]

~3 minutes earlier before the nuclear plasma explosion~

Holding down the perimeter quite far from the huge crater wasnt easy especially for both Anna and Ingrid who were already busy holding down the high mage Xyrus

Due to the difference in experience and mana output, Ingrid was only able to hold him down with the help of Anna who also possesses a high mana output

Thanks to her she was able to contend against a high mage for a long time

With a step Ingrid places her sword horizontally equal to her eye level as she charged inside Xyrus range of attack

Provided with the cover fire from Anna, she was able to dodge literally the few remaining spells

Going in a zigzag footwork, she quickly launches herself off the ground by stepping unto a wall near her as she thrusted her sword towards Xyrus

Seeing that the High mage himself quickly projected a simple barrier beside his face while tolting his head at the same time

Gathering mana unto his hand he started speed casting a complicated spell

"Dual magic!!! Fire and ice!"

As both the burning flame and freezing ice erupted around Xyrus, Ingrid immediately pulled her attack as Anna provided her with a stepping stone to quicklu take a distance between them

After that Anna raises her staff as she pounded it against the floor for four times before a mid size magic circle appeared beneath her

"Quadra casting! Full body armament! High speed boost! Strength endurance! Enhanced instincts!!!"

As Anna applied all of this unto Ingrid, she had already begun preparing another spell

"Dual casting! Thunder clap! Power strike!"

By attacking him from above and multiplied its damage using her second spell, she was able to disperse Xyrus previous spell while also damaging him at the same time

Taking this as a chance Ingrid quickly made her move as she appeared above Xyrus and brought down her attack by attacking him 30 times in one breath

Unfortunately Xyrus was well prepared for this as he blocked all of her attack by erecting a high class barrier beforehand

Crouching down Ingrid dodged Xyrus counter right after he blocked her, with the difference in altitude, she used this chance to slash his shoulder, completely giving him a huge cut

"Gaahhh! You damn bitch!"

Quickly Xyrus applied a healing magic on his cut, when suddenly Ingrid stepped forward and stabbed his other shoulder

Twisting her blade Xyrus immediately yelled in pain and agony as he grittex his teeth and tried to retaliate by casting a point blank range spell

Luckily Ingrid through his intentions by peeking into his thoughts using jer unique ability and with this she safely avoided being struck by the spell

After that she swipes her sword sideways to get rid of the blood on her sword

As Xyrus was getting more furious than before, while both anna and Ingrid are also preparing to launch another attack, a sudden earth shaking explosion suddenly rung out right at the middle of the crater as the blast range quickly envelopes more than the size of the crater itself

Following this the shockwaves hits them so hard that it literally blew from small to big architecture away while also blowing away the people near its blast radius
