Chapter 423 A Flamefoul
The monster, a Flamefoul, is a monster that poses a huge threat on Eternal Earth. He is a creature who is said to be the ruler of the underground fire.
Flamefoul is said to only live in the land of the Dwarves because it is there that the Dwarves often dig into the earth to disturb the lair of the monsters.
The Dwarves paid with the lives of thousands of their kind for disturbing the rest of the mighty monsters. Yet, they still haven't stopped and given up digging.
The Dwarves have succeeded in creating a way to defeat the Flamefoul monster. That way they can continue their digging into the earth to find valuable mineral resources.
However, this method is not completely effective. Even though they were able to kill several Flamefouls, in the end the Flamefouls were strong monsters so their people still lost their lives.
Even so, the Dwarves did not give up. Maybe that's why the Flamefoul moved to another land. Or maybe it was because The Great Calamity was about to appear, affecting many things.
Whatever the reason, it is the Elves who are walking towards Sylvan Haven who will ultimately suffer the consequences. They faced one of the most powerful monsters in history.
*BOOM!*
The fire whip landed in the middle of the army. Luckily, their Unicorn was able to dodge easily, saving their rider from danger.
"(Don't be reckless! We have to be careful against it! Use water magic!)" Aerchon gave orders from atop his Unicorn while struggling to dodge.
Aurdis, who was not very skilled in fighting with the army, chose to avoid it and let Aerchon lead the army. She stepped away while observing the Flamefoul for anything that might be its weakness.
But no matter how Aurdis looked at it, she couldn't find the monster's weakness. His whole body looks so strong. The body that looked like it was covered in fire and molten rock not only had a strong physical structure but also emitted protective magic.
It will be a tough job to penetrate it.
A dozen Elves unleashed a high intensity Water Magic attack towards the Flamefoul. Steam wafted around and a loud hissing sound was created when the water hit its body.
After that, Aerchon charged with his Unicorn along with the other Elf warriors who did not cast water Magic.
The Flamefoul let out a loud roar that shook the trees and earth around them, indicating how powerful the monster was.
Aerchon and his army gritted their teeth to endure the roar. Their Unicorn also neighed because it felt the pressure from the angry Flamefoul.
But, Aerchon would not give up after almost reaching the monster. From all over his body a white light came out which enveloped his Unicorn as well.
Arondite, his most trusted sword, also emits its own light.
"(CHARGE!)" Aerchon issued a shout to raise the morale of his army.
Flamefoul is indeed stronger than the monsters from the Ogre Kingdom or Daemon of Calamity. So Aerchon and the other Elves know that they need more precautions when fighting it.
The Flamefoul roared again. However, now all the Elf warriors who were charging towards him had released their own protective magic auras so that they could resist the pressure from the roaring better.
Aerchon jumped off his Unicorn then shot towards the Flamefoul. The monster's view was still blocked by the steam created after the water magic attack hit it.
*SRAATT!*
He slashed Arondite with full force with a groan. The radiant blade slashed through the monster's left stomach, causing the Flamefoul to let out a roar full of pain.
Aerchon felt a little satisfaction because he was able to injure the monster. When looking at his sword he saw that there was red lava which was most likely corrosive.
Aerchon flicked his sword to the side to get rid of the corrosive lava.
The Flamefoul was still covered in mist. Aerchon couldn't see it well.
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the fire whip shot towards him with incredible speed.
Aerchon cursed, raising Arondite in the hope of stopping the fire whip before it inflicted fatal injury on him.
*CREAK!*
The whip hit Aerchon with such a powerful force that he was thrown into the forest. Aerchon flew through trees and bushes for tens of meters before finally stopping.
Aurdis called his name but it was no use. Aerchon had already disappeared from the battlefield for a while.
"(Your Majesty, your order!)" one of the Elf warriors looked at Aurdis expectantly.
Aurdis felt that he was not suitable to lead an army. However, if Aerchon wasn't here, command of the army would be handed over to him.
Aurdis bit her lip. "(Continue shooting water magic. We can defeat that monster!)"
Hearing orders from Aurdis, all the Elves who had previously fired water magic increased the intensity of their attacks. Meanwhile, Aurdis immediately contacted Aerchon via telepathy.
'(How are you?)'
'(I'm fine. I'll be right back and launch a surprise attack. Can you handle it until I arrive?)' Aerchon replied.
Aurdis breathed a sigh of relief. '(Yes. I can handle it.)'
'(Good.)'
After that, Aurdis ended communication and continued to command her army.
She, who previously stayed away from the army crowd, has now re-entered their ranks. Her eyes watched the Flamefoul monster sharply, still trying to find its weakness.
Then she found it. The wounds inflicted by attacks from water magic can only create hot steam from the monster's body without immediately regenerating it.
However, the slash from Aerchon's weapon earlier was still there. Aurdis saw through the steam created around the body that the wound was even pouring lava onto the ground.
'Attacks from Aerchon's Magic weapon can cause quite severe injuries to it. That means I have to attack the damn monster with a Magic weapon.'
Aurdis checked her clotch bag. Inside there, she carried her own Magic Weapon which had been forged by the Elven court blacksmith several days before this journey began.
Aurdis immediately drew the weapon. It was a dagger with a blue blade. Its handle is made from the bones of a monster Aurdis doesn't know about with extraordinary density. Under the hilt there is a gem which is also blue.
The dagger lit up with a blue light when Aurdis held it. As if the dagger was responding to her magic.
Unfortunately, it was just a dagger with a length of 30 cm from handle to tip. Aurdis had to be at a closer distance than Aerchon with Flamefoul to be able to hit the monster.
'There's no other choice. I have to do it as quickly as possible and get out of here.' Aurdis steadied her determination and spurred her Unicorn to rush forward.
