Chương 212: Chapter 211: Final Battle

Leila Roar! The horde Leader roared, as Major Jarvis, Stone, and August moved toward it from three directions. The monster is Leihad, Lightning Leopard. It is bigger than me and built like a bull. It was completely white with violet spots, through which the lightning from claws would move around its body. This lightning is dangerous, especially with those huge claws. They held immense physical power and with lightning, they could tear through any defense, be it physical or magical.

Three and moving toward it and it just watching, without moving. Not only at three moving to attack it, but also Mage Alva and me. Even with all my experience and power, I couldn't help but feel scared when the monster looked me in the eye. Hun! As the three were moving, I noticed something. The sword had disappeared from the hands of August, and in its place, a different weapon had appeared. A long blue chain, with red daggers attached on both sides. Seeing that, my eyes lit up.

I was right; the sword was not his real weapon; it was these chain daggers. He looks quite natural with them. Now the question is whether he would be able to use it efficiently against the monster. Hun! I was thinking about that when the monster moved to attack. Its target is Stone. Its lightning in its claws cracked as it moved and spread into its legs, before his body. The arcs of lights begin to dance around it through the spot, making it look quite terrifying. Frost Shields.

I activated the shield spells in front of Stone; Mage Alva did the same. BANG! A moment later, the monster crashed against the shields. It took less than a second for it to tear through all three of my frost shields before breaking through the two shields of Mage Alva. Her shields were stronger since she was a shield mage, but even her shields weren't able to last more than a second. This is a Grade 3 Monster; a monster only Level 30 and above would dare to fight against.

It is stronger than the other three Grade 3 monsters on the battlefield. This is not surprising, seeing it is a leader, without a strength to back it up. It wouldn't have been able to control the horde. It reached Stone and attacked him as the lightning intensified across his body. Stone, on the other, is calm. Much calmer than I would have been if the monster had been attacking me. With eyes on the monster, he moved that huge shield into position.

This is one of three enchantment shields those bandits had used us in their attack two months ago. Ignatius had loaned him for this battle. The sword is also the same, a three-enchantment weapon. It is from Remus; I had heard Gerald had sent this from the Namdar, along with the enchanted armor he is wearing, which is a level lower than sword and shield. BANNG! The claws of the monster crashed hard against the shield, sending Stone a couple of steps back while covering his shield with lightning.

Thankfully, the shield had great elemental absorption qualities and Stone also seemed to have skills, that seemed to let him deal with elemental attacks. Hun! The monster was about to move to attack again when suddenly jumped back, avoiding the chained dagger coming at it. Only to be attacked by Major Jarvis with his spear. It reacted instantly and flicked its tail at the spear, before moving again, when the chained dagger came to it. It seemed to fear the chained daggers for some reason and avoiding it.

It made me feel relieved. If it had feared nothing, I would have doubted, we could have even 1% of killing this monster. While others are attacking. I am staying in my spot, casting only defensive spells. Till now, I hadn't moved to attack the monster. Preferring to watch it, before entering the battle in proper preparations. I didn't like what I saw, but I got the information that I needed and now I could enter the battle. Ferin's Golem! I activated the spell, and an icy golem formed in front of me.

It is huge and looks like it is carved from a big block of ice by an amateur ice sculptor. It took a lot of mana and I wish this one spell had been enough, but unfortunately not. Clock of Frost. Zeryns Armament. Wisdom of Frost Sage. I cast three heavy spells, one after another, getting into the optimal state to fight against the terrifying monster. Now, there is an icy armor covering my whole body and a cloak of shimmering frost over it, which will increase my defense even further.

Wisdom of Frost Sage is a mind spell. The hardest spell I had ever learned and the most dangerous one when learning. A lot of people have damaged their minds and turned into vegetables in the process of learning this spell. With these four spells, my mana is down at a critical level and I bright out a tiny but beautiful potion bottle with glittering crystals inside. I looked at the bottle of mana potion with unwillingness. It is a gift from my father, a very expensive one.

Healing potions are not expensive for me, but this one. Even the price bottle containing potion is greater than ten normal mana potions. The mana potion inside is the most special kind. Insanely expensive, but even money isn't enough to buy it; one also needs the connections for it. Most of it directly goes to the Sovereign's treasury and what little remains sold at outrageous prices, because the ingredient used in making of potion is the most desirable in the world. The elixir of emotions.

The thing that only legacies produce, and it is used in making this potion, and also the sword I am holding in my hand. This potion will replenish my mana extremely quickly and there won't be any side effects. It is why, I am drinking this, because I am already feeling the effects of mana burn with all the potions I drank. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

The moment I took out the bottle, I opened it and took an ever so slightly sip from the tiny delicate bottle. The liquid touched my tongue and turned into a mist. It spread into my body, rapidly filling my depleted mana storage. At the same time, I began to feel all sorts of emotions. From happiness to sadness to vulnerability to excitement. I could feel these emotions as if they were mine and, at the same time, see the lives of people flashing in front of me.

It ended as it began, and I wish I could continue feeling those emotions. They were magnificent. I pushed those thoughts away as it was time to think about them and looked inside me. I saw mana storage was filled to the brim, and it only took a second. I turned to the tiny bottle in my hand. I took the smallest sip possible and still ended up consuming a third of it.

I put the bottle away with regret and turned to battle, where Major Jarvis and Stone were moving toward the monster leader while August was attacking with his chained daggers. Mage Alwa, on the other, cast an energy cube around the monster, wanting to cage it, but it effortlessly broke away from it. Springs Steps. I activated my skill and moved toward the monster and immediately felt the effect of the army skills of the group members. Three are from Major Jarvis, while one each is from August and Stone.

Making me faster and stronger. Growl! It growled, as it avoided the attack of the chained dagger and turned, before leaping at me. Its speed is fast and seeing the way is looking at me. It wants to tear me apart. Killing me will lessen the burden and it will have an easier time dealing with the others. I can't let that happen. Immediately, the shields from Mage Alva appeared in front of me and the crystal on my sword lit up. Ice Walls. I activated the spell, and three ice walls appeared in front of me. Bamm!

It crushed through all the defensive spells and appeared in front of me, and I attacked. I knew it would break through them and prepared to attack it, the moment it burst through the shields. There is a dense, bluish, icy mist covering my blade. That is a Frost Freeze spell, along with Bleeding Edge. This is my terrifying spell and skill combo. It freezes the blood of the enemies. I had literally frozen people to death with this combo. It didn't seem to be fearing my attack though.

It was still coming at me, but suddenly a surprise appeared in its eyes. The ice golem standing beside me had also launched its enormous fist at it. These two are not the only attacks coming at it. No, there are more. The chained dagger is coming from behind while Major Jarvis is on the left and Stone from the right. We are not playing around. We understand thousands of people are fighting against the raging monsters who are trying to save their leader.

Every minute, people are dying; we need to finish this monster as soon as possible, or the casualties will be immense. The hesitation appeared in its eyes for a moment, before the lightning flared and it came at me with even stronger momentum. CLANG! My sword clashed against the claws of the monster and I felt like I had been hit by a giant boulder. Puh! The shock was so great that vomit shot out of my mouth.

At the same time, I started to take a step back while hoping my defenses would be enough to deal with the lightning that came at me through my sword. My sword absorbed a quarter of the lightning before it came at me and covered me, trying to drill through my armor to harm me. Steam could be seen coming out of my defenses as they were resisting the lightning. I poured more mana into the defenses; the lightning is dangerous. I couldn't let it touch me. While the lightning trying to kill me, I turned to the monster.

It didn't follow me for the second attack, and I felt relieved seeing it. I don't think I would have been able to handle the second attack. It is already a noteworthy thing that I didn't get killed by it given the difference in our strength. For a moment, I thought I would die. It dodged the attack of the golem by less than an inch before moving right. Dodging the attack of a chained dagger and Major Jarvis, before appearing path for the Stone's attack. Rip!

It tried to dodge the attack, but couldn't, and it cut through its back. Giving the monster a long cut, which also looked quite deep. Roar! The lightning covered the wound, cauterizing the wound as the monster roared angrily at the Stone, but it didn't attack him and instead moved to dodge the attack coming from the chained dagger and golem. It dodged the attack, but appeared in front of Major Jarvis and attacked him.

Major Jarvis defended and seemed to use some sort of skill, which slowed down the monster when it jumped to dodge the attack of the golem. That fraction of slowness helped my golem to land a hit on the monster. BANG! The hit landed, but Lightning Leopard just shook instead of flying away as I expected, while my golem exploded into pieces, with lightning attacking. Slash!

Monster's eyes lit in joy seeing that, but a moment later, the alarm flashed, and it moved again, but not before getting nicked in the leg by the red dagger. ROARR! The monster roared in rage at August and leaped at him. Only to see Stone and me appearing in front of it. It attacked us and we attacked back with our strongest attacks. Though defense would have been wiser, we couldn't waste any time in that. Our people dying every minute against the monsters' crazed attacks.

We have to be at offense and finish this bastard as soon as possible, despite knowing the risks coming with it.
