Arty gritted her teeth. Her eyes look almost the same as Erend's eyes when he is facing his enemy.
'You wanna let them have fun? Let's see who is having fun after this!'
Arty had only used her Magic to fight once against the bird monster. She had never had a real fight with Magic against a real enemy.
However, Arty had received training from Saeldir on how to use her Magic for battle. Coupled with the anger that is now burning her chest when she sees those five creatures about to do something to her, it is enough to make her battle intent manifest.
Even though she had a bit more difficulty summoning her Magic in this place that didn't mean Arty couldn't use it. She just needs a little more effort.
Arty channeled the Magic energy that she had gotten from within her into her hands while remembering the sensation when she created a fire that time.
The four nearly three-meter-tall creatures that were blown away have now all woken up. They stared at Arty with angry eyes and deep growls from their throats.
Arty didn't even wait until they came up to her. She lunged at them.
*BWOOSSHH!*
Flames burned in her hands as she ran. The four creatures looked doubtful when they saw what Arty could do all of a sudden. Just seeing Arty charging towards them was shocking enough, but she suddenly also released fire in her hand.
But an order from their master they couldn't ignore. Resolve returned to the minds of the four creatures and they also charged towards Arty.
Arty, who saw the four tall creatures towering towards her, didn't feel afraid because her anger was bigger. She made a throwing motion then two fireballs shot toward the four creatures.
However, the four of them seem to have a bit of experience with combat so they can dodge Arty's obvious fireballs easily. The four creatures scattered to the sides and then continued their run toward Arty.
Arty realized that she was in danger right now, but that thought only lasted for a moment because Arty knew she had to focus on fighting if she wanted to survive. Saeldir taught her about it.
One of the creatures came faster than the other. It drew closer to Arty and then sent a fist toward her.
The huge fist shattered the floor Arty had previously stepped on. If she was even a little late Arty's head would be crushed by the fist.
After dodging Arty countered with a blast of fire from her hand. The creature can be fast enough to raise its arms to block the flames but as a result, its view is obstructed.
So Arty took the opportunity to dart to the side when he wasn't looking then jumped up and gave a kick imbued with her Magic towards its head.
*BAKK!*
The creature staggered to the side while letting out a pained groan. Arty watched as her kick created a dent in the creature's head, making its ugly appearance even worse.
Arty dodged just in time before a punch coming from her side hit her. The three other creatures have arrived near her.
'I can't let myself be surrounded!'
That was also something that Saeldir taught her when facing more than one enemy. Arty saw her mother still lying on the tower floor and none of the creatures were heading towards her, they were all staring at her as if she was their main target.
Arty didn't know if it was because they were stupid or because they didn't get the order from the half-naked woman to attack her mother.
Whatever it was, Arty immediately ran to her mother and positioned her body in front of her, who was still unconscious. She must kill these four creatures while protecting her mother.
The four creatures charged towards her accompanied by growls full of anger. One of them whose face had been shattered by her kick earlier was still able to move as if nothing had happened. Arty had the feeling that she would have to at least crush their heads or their entire bodies before she could make them stop.
*BWOOSSHH!*
The fire burning in Arty's hand grew even bigger. She hurtled her fire towards them forming a fast-moving wave of fire so that the four creatures couldn't dodge in time.
However, it turns out they don't need to dodge. The four creatures charged straight at the waves of fire Arty spat out and let their bodies burn. They broke through the waves and continued to move towards Arty.
For a split second Arty felt panic sweep over her. But quickly she could compose herself and lunged at them.
Arty now creates a lightning bolt in her left hand and sends a lightning bolt towards a creature on the left. The lightning bolt hit one side of its face and destroyed it instantly.
Arty sent flames toward the faces of the other three creatures to block their view. After that, she created a lightning bolt in her right hand and started shooting it at them.
*BLARRR!*
*BLARRR!*
*BLARRR!*
in the blink of an eye, Arty has issued three attacks that can accurately hit the heads of the three creatures. Arty couldn't stop admiring her skill at suddenly being able to use lightning attacks so expertly and started to close in to give her a final blow.
Arty takes care of the three creatures by devastating their heads. Then she continued towards a creature that was still staggering and also immediately smashed its head after which Arty stepped away and watched the result.
Arty still hadn't extinguished her lightning because it was possible they could still wake up. However, after observing for a few seconds there were no signs indicating that the four creatures would revive.
It turned out that her hunch was right, if she smashed their heads these creatures would not get up again. Just like the state of any other creature when they are destroyed.
Arty approached her mother after killing the five creatures sent by the half-naked woman.
"Mom! Wake up, Mom!"
Arty was sure that the woman would come back soon and see the work of the five creatures that he sent. Arty isn't sure he can beat her as easily as she can beat the five creatures because women look like some kind of ruler in this place and of course, she is more powerful than these minions.
Then she must immediately wake up her mother and leave there. But it wasn't as easy as Arty had imagined. No matter how hard Arty tried to wake her mother she wouldn't open her eyes.
Then Arty remembered Saeldir's words when they came to the end of the day's training.
'Besides fighting, you can also use your Magic to heal. Some Elves specialized in healing and were more skilled at it than Elves who chose to polish their fighting skills.
'However, you still need more practice to be able to use your healing Magic ability. We'll practice that next time.'
Arty grimaced. 'Unfortunately, I can't wait till next time, Saeldir.'
Arty began to concentrate. She believed that using Magic to heal wouldn't be much different from using it to fight, she just needed to concentrate and focus.
Arty felt like he could do that after everything he'd been through so far.
Arty placed her hand on her mother's forehead and began to cast her Magic. A moment later a silver light emerged from her hand and enveloped her mother's head. After that, it didn't take long for her mother to open her eyes.
"Mom!" Arty called with a smile. "Are you awake?"
Her mother glanced around and then frowned in confusion. "Where is this?"
"I don't know either, Mom. But we have to get out of here quickly." Arty helped her mother to stand up. Her mother still looked so confused by everything she saw that made her eyes so wide.
The sky was reddish, spears on the parapet, and corpses of creatures with huge bodies that died in pathetic conditions lying not far from them. Any human who woke up to these sights would be confused.
"Hold on to me, Mom," Arty said.
"What do you want to do?"
"We have to get out of here."
Her mother didn't ask any further and immediately wrapped her arms around Arty's neck from behind. She was still confused but she also knew that they had to leave this place.
Arty began to float, and though it was still awkward she began to fly away from the top of the tower.
After a few minutes, Arty left that place Isadora came from the portal with an excited expression on her face because she wanted to see what her monsters had done to Arty.
However, her expression immediately turned grave because instead of seeing that, Isadora saw the corpses of her monsters lying in an almost destroyed state. One of them even got impaled by a spear over the parapet.
Isadora felt some residue of using Magic here. She could also immediately tell that her monsters' state of death could only be caused by using Magic.
"(That girl... has she been able to use Magic to this extent?)"
If that was true then it could become very something troublesome.
