"Little man?" Layla looked curious when she heard what Isaac said.
"Sister, he means the little kid you sent " the woman said to Layla.
"Oh," Layla understood what her sister meant and smiled. Luckily, she'd sent the boy, otherwise, if they had both stayed, they would have been dead by now.
Suddenly, a green flash went off beside them. It was Liam, who had been distracting the monster for a while now. Liam kept running around while screaming, "I don't want to ruin your wonderful reunion, but if you don't hurry up a little , I'll end up in the belly of this damned snake."
Isaac, Layla, and the woman looked at each other. Isaac said, "Looks like we have to deal with the big guy over there first." The woman looked at Liam and said, "Don't worry, Liam. A snake would normally swallow you directly , not chew you, so you'll be alive in its stomach." Liam heard what she said and laughed angrily as he dodged the snake's mouth, which passed by him by about 30 centimeters. and said to the woman, "Levi snakes dont chew, I'm sure the book said that snakes usually squeezes its prey to death, or at least injects poison into it before swallowing them . Anyway, even if by some miracle it swallows me without squeezing or biting me, its stomach acid alone is enough to melt me completely. So you better hurry, or else you'll be looking for a new Wind mage."
Hearing his screams, the team members smiled at each other. Isaac said, "Okay, let's help the crying little girl." Liam heard what Isaac said and wanted to say something, but at that moment, he heard a hissing sound. "hisss!"It's the snake that's been played with for some time.. It had gone completely mad. A mere prey had made it chase it for so long without even touching it. So, when Liam paused, the snake pressed on and took off at full speed. Liam saw the snake coming and was about to re-release his magic, but it would take three seconds, but the snake would devour him in two. So, using the remaining power from the previous spell, he suddenly changed direction sharply, which would buy him another second.
Unfortunately, it would have worked. With another monster, but the monster they were fighting now was a snake monster, known by its flexibility and speed. So when Liam turned sharply, the snake twisted its body at an unnatural angle. It looked as if the monster had no bones in his body . Liam saw that the plan wasn't working, but he didn't stop concentrating to release his magic. Stopping meant death.
The snake approached Liam and opened its mouth. It looked as if Liam would be devoured in an instant. and When Liam felt like he was going to die, a stream of water formed in front of him and repelled the snake attack . Hissing! The snake let out a crazy hissing sound and began hitting the water wall with all its might. Liam concentrated a little and succeeded in unleashing his magic. The wind spun and formed a path of wind. Liam took off and moved away. A few seconds after Liam moved away, the snake broke the water wall and attacked Liam, but Liam had already disappeared. The snake went completely mad and began making loud hissing sounds. A fireball shot towards the snake, and when it hit it, it caused a huge explosion. The snake came out of Black smoke with some burns on its scales. Isaac smiled and said to Liam who was beside him, "Liam, go and distract the big guy. I'm going to release Burning Bones."
Liam grumbled, "I don't get paid enough for this nonsense." But he knew that only him was fast enough to escape this monster, so he released his magic and took advantage of the snake's inattention and lashed out at its tail. The snake turned and tried to hit Liam with its tail, but Liam unleashed his magic. Wind Path: Speed, and sped away. The monster's anger increased, and when it opened its mouth to scream, a fireball entered its mouth and exploded. The monster didn't have a chance to go crazy as it was hit by even hotter fire. The fire seemed strange. When it hit it, it didn't explode from the outside, but its heat entered inside, trying to roast its internal organs. These were the characteristics of Level 2 Flame Magic: Burning Bones. The snake screamed and began to flail crazily around, hitting the ground, raising a cloud of dust that covered everything.
Isaac and the others raised their alert. Any mistake at this time could lead to their death. Liam seemed to sense something. His sensitivity to the wind allowed him to hear and feel the sound of the wind, indicating something was coming. So he shouted to the rest of his team, "Beware, the attack is coming!" Isaac and the others increased their caution, and Lila and Levi seemed prepared for whatever was coming As a blue magical energy gathered in front of them.. Suddenly, a shadow seemed to be heading towards them. They could see it, so they avoided it. Isaac rolled to the ground, and Lila and Livi jumped to the side. Being the fastest of the group, Liam dodged the attack with some ease. As soon as they moved, the snake's head passed by, its mouth open to catch any prey that remained motionless. They didn't even have time to rejoice, as the monster's head passed by, twisting its body in a miraculous display of flexibility and its whip-like tail swept at Isaac, who couldn't escape in time.
"Baaaaam!" The tail slammed into Isaac, sending him several meters into the air, crashing into the debris and corpses to the side. "Isaac!" the rest of the team members shouted at their teammate. Isaac crawled over the corpses and The rubble and raised his thumbs, "I'm fine." His teammates breathed a sigh of relief and focused their attention on the monster, which began attacking again. This time, Levi and Layla blocked it with a shield of water The monster had become injured and noticeably weaker, so it was unable to break the shield in as short a period as before..
Liam launched himself to distract the snake again
The snake was angrily drawn to Liam's provocations and stopped hitting the shield. He began chasing Liam again, giving Isaac the opportunity to attack, which he gladly took advantage of after concentrating for a while. He fired a Level 3 Fire Blast: Rupture. Fire shot out of Isaac's hand like a flamethrower and completely covered the snake. The snake began screaming extremely loudly, its body burning continuously. Isaac looked at Liam and shouted, "Liam!" Liam looked at Isaac and understood what Isaac wanted to do. "okay lets do it ," he said.
Liam began unleashing his magic, but this time, he didn't speed off in the wind's path, but directed it towards the flaming snake. Isaac did the same, directing the same Level 3 spell in the same direction as the wind's path. At the meeting point, the wind's path and the fire path merged. The flames formed a bright, burning beam of fire that struck the snake and blew it away. The snake screamed and thrashed, but to no avail. It took some time for its screams to completely subside. What remained was a charred corpse.
Isaac smiled at this sight and sat on the ground, exhausted. "Whooo, we finally killed that bastard." Liam smiled as well and said, "Thanks to your efforts, Isaac, we were able to get rid of this monster. If it weren't for you as a damage Mage, we wouldn't have been able to kill it. "Haha," Isaac laughed and said to Liam, "Stop exaggerating. If you hadn't distracted it and bought us enough time to release our magic, we would all be dead . Also, without the help of your Wind Magic, my Fire Magic wouldn't have been able to kill the monster so easily."
Liam smiled a little narcissistically, then adjusted his hair and said, "Humph, now you must realize the power of the Great Mage, Liam. You will not find a greater Wind Mage than me. You know, given my generous contribution to this fight, don't you think I should take a bigger share this time?" The others remained silent, and no one answered Liam until Livy screamed, imitating Liam's terrified voice " if you don't hurry, I'll end up in the belly of this damned snake
Levi, I'm sure the book said that snakes squeezes its prey to death, or at least injects poison into it. Anyway, even if by some miracle it swallows me without squeezing or biting me, its stomach acid alone is enough to melt me completely. So you better hurry, or else you'll be looking for a new Wind mage Please save me, I don't want to die".
"Stop, stop. I didn't scream that way, and I didn't even say that last sentence," Liam said to Levi. Levi looked at Liam with a puzzled face and said, "Um, I'm sure I heard you say that." She then turned to look at Isaac and Lila, who looked as if they were watching an interesting show. She asked, "Didn't you hear that too?" Lila and Isaac smiled widely and said to Liam's desperate face, and said "Oh, now that you mention it, I remember Liam screaming like a little girl." Lila continued with a smile, "Oh, yes, and he also started begging us to save him." Isaac said, "He even said he'd give up his share of the mission." Liam's face grew paler with each sentence. Lila responded with feigned surprise, "Huh? It seems you're being really generous this time. I'll gladly accept your gift, and I also..." Liam didn't let her finish. Afraid that if she continued, she would cause him a heart attack. "Okay, okay, stop. I give up." The others smiled as they heard his announcement of surrender. and Before they could say anything, he changed the subject. "By the way, isn't it time to get the little man out?"
