Chapter 606 Dance of Elements
Evan opted for a confrontation instead of retreat, sending a beam of Mesarthim's flames barrelling forward to meet the icy flames heading straight for him.
However, that wasn't the only attack Faldo unleashed.
Countless orbs of light manifested in the air around them, numbering in the hundreds and from each one, a beam of concentrated crimson light was unleashed.
This indiscriminate attack claimed the lives of both monsters and soldiers alike, with mages doing their all to create barriers to block them.
But the 'red' annihilation law energy in Faldo's attacks made all those efforts futile.
'Elemental Weapon Projection'
Evan, aided by the 'red' of destruction, used his projected weapon constructs to shoot down all the orbs of light and save the lives of countless, leaving the observers on the other end of the barrier confused as to why the orbs were destroyed when Evan tried, but not when the other adventurers and soldiers did the same.
[White Inferno Burst! Eclipsed Shadows! Metallic Meteor!]
Faldo showed the world why Dragons were reputed for their magic prowess, releasing three tier 3 offensive magic spells in one breath.
An intense omnidirectional burst of white flames was unleashed from his being, creating a widespread conflagration that burned everything on its way to Evan, Pride and Greed's positions.
Simultaneously, dark shadows with energy-draining effects were conjured around their feet, wrapping around their bodies while the clouds parted to reveal a gigantic meteor of spike iron that hurtled to the ground at breakneck speed.
Not even half a second passed when the shadows on their feet were violently ripped apart by a certain annoyed cat, while his fellow spirit of the water attribute released a deluging flood that pushed back the white flames.
As for the meteor casting its shadow over the battlefield as it crashed down on them, Evan infused the unforged with his prismatic flames, letting them surge skyward as he brought the blade down on the looming meteor.
**BOOMM!!!
The clash between the fiery slash and the metallic mass sent shockwaves through the air as the meteor was blasted to pieces.
Fragments of molten metal rained down on the battlefield, scorching the ground where they landed, but everyone watching could agree that this was much better than letting that meteor hit the ground.
[Glacial Spires]
Faldo did not give them any resting time, summoning countless towering spires of ice that emerged from the ground, intent on impaling and freezing enemies in the vicinity.
Evan redirected his prismatic flames to the ground and used them to melt the ice, while Pride and Greed took similar actions with their own energies.
[Crimson Phoenix Blaze]
The dragon then summoned a majestic phoenix engulfed in white flames that soared through the air, leaving trails of intense heat as it beelined straight for Evan.
'This dragon has it out for me, doesn't it?'
Such a thought filtered through Evan's mind as he switched Mesarthim out for Harbinger of Ice, but before he could even attack, Milena sent a flood of water surging forward, crashing into the flaming phoenix and dousing its blaze.
The boy deactivated his HoI skill and kicked off the ground, blitzing straight for the dragon with Mesarthim's flames coating his sword, while Faldo coated his claws in his aura and swung them down on Evan.
[Claws of Annihilation.]
Faldo sent four-pronged slashes of aura flying towards Evan, carving the ground where they passed. In response, Evan flared his destruction aura and released multiple blade cannons, splitting the slashes in two.
The dragon lunged forward to meet Evan's charge, swiping his claw down on the boy. But contrary to expectation, Evan did not meet the attack with his sword, instead, he kicked off the ground and front flipped into the air, letting the dragon's claw crash into the empty ground and rend the earth.
Evan stretched out his right leg and delivered an axe kick right onto the back of Faldo's forelimb, activating a skill alongside.
"Collapse!!"
**BOOOM!!! **SQUELCH!!!
[GRRAAHH!!]
"Tsk!"
Despite the scream of pain he had elicited from Faldo, Evan clicked his tongue as he noticed that despite breaking the scales and crushing the flesh, he wasn't able to reach the dragon's bone with collapse.
Even after he had concentrated all the force and power behind the skill into the dragon's body, a feat of power control Evan was slightly surprised he pulled off. Especially since Collapse was meant to be an AOE skill.
But he just compressed all that AOE into one point.
'I should try that again.'
While he thought that, two giant fists of emotional energies barrelled in from both sides, courtesy of the two deadly sin demons who decided that normal punches weren't enough and decided to summon their incarnation's arms to augment said punches.
Faldo gritted his teeth to ignore the pain of his hand that had been 'collapsed' by Evan, spreading out his wings to take flight, but Kuro made his shadow come alive and pull him back to the ground.
[Prismatic Barrier! Ice Nova! Crystal Shard Barrage!]
As if casting one spell at a time was a problem for him, Faldo released another tier 3 spell trio, even tossing a Nova Spell in the middle of it.
A radiant shield of light that absorbed incoming magic attacks shimmered into existence around him, along with a wave of frigid energy that surged outward to freeze the energy-constructed arms.
He then hurled a barrage of countless razer-sharp crystal shards at high speed towards the two demons, before breaking out of Kuro's shadowy restraint with his annihilation essence.
Without hesitation, he took to the skies and activated another skill.
[Skywrath!]
Manipulating the power of the skies, the dragon attempted to call down a lightning storm, but the storm never reached its intended targets, instead changing directions and concentrating all its power on him.
**BOOMM!!!
'Fucking Lightning spirit! Wasn't she busy with those wyverns!?'
Faldo momentarily turned his focus in her direction and saw that Kayla, along with multiple S rankers were indeed surrounded by dozens of wyverns, but even still, she had her focus on him, making sure he wasn't able to use anything 'lightning'.
This was quite annoying for Faldo as he had a ton of pretty powerful lightning spells in his arsenal, but If Kayla turned those on him, it wasn't gonna be pretty.
'Come to think of it, why hasn't that woman lowered the barrier's limit yet?'
Faldo had that thought as he activated his Breath of Annihilation skill, about to release an eponymous breath, not knowing that Kethryllia was busy wiping out a Brigade of Beast Kingdom soldiers near the World Isolation Barrier's core.
His intended target for the breath was Evan, so he redirected his focus to the boy who was preparing to charge a destruction vortex, and in that moment that he took his eyes off Kayla, the spirit moved.
She suddenly appeared beside Amy and grabbed onto the fire spirit, before disappearing once more and appearing above Faldo's head.
No matter how one looked at it, it wasn't lightning-speed movement but straight-up teleportation.
[?!]
A massive rose of golden flames bloomed atop his head, and faster than he could react, Kayla's 'fist' came crashing down.
[Rock-Fracture!]
Well, it wasn't her actual fist but the fist of lightning blocks she created using her skill, but it still dealt damage all the same.
Enough to make Faldo's vision momentarily turn the same colour as his scales.
Simultaneously, Amy created her great sword construct of black flames, swinging it down and unleashing her strongest technique on the dragon.
[Dusk of Flames]
Her wide slash of flames transformed into a huge five-metre-tall tiger that roared wildly as it pounced on Faldo and bit the dragon's neck with its jaws.
Amy snapped her fingers and from the tiger's mouth, a beam of concentrated light was unleashed, blasting apart Faldo's scales, and rending his flesh.
His crimson blood stained his white scales as the dragon roared out in rage, moving its hand to grab the flaming tiger and pull it off his neck.
But as soon as he grabbed it, Amy detonated the energy that constructed it, resulting in a massive explosion that was too blinding to look at.
The force sent Faldo's body hurtling down to the ground, where Evan was waiting with the Akashic Page floating beside him.
**FLIT-FLIT!
The pages turned rapidly as he held out his hand, conjuring a four-ringed magic circle in the air above the wounded dragon.
"Lightning magic: Thunderous Aegis Storm."
Thanks to Kayla's presence, lightning-charged clouds were already gathered overhead and all Evan had to do was to draw the energy from the clouds, unleashing bolts of searing lightning that electrified the air as they cascaded towards the dragon.
[Earthward Sentinel! Prismatic Barrier!]
Even while injured, Faldo still cast dual magic spells to block. The ground trembled as a magic circle emerged and generated a protected shield of earth, rising like an impervious wall.
The earthward sentinel absorbed and dispersed the energy of the Aegis storm harmlessly into the ground, but Evan wasn't done yet.
Pages flapped once more and the element of his spell changed to fire.
"Inferno Vortex."
A spiralling tornado of intense prismatic flames rapidly engulfed the surroundings, creating a swirling column of scorching heat that whirled towards Faldo.
[Aqua Ward!]
A barrier of swirling water surged around Faldo, blocking the flames of the Inferno Vortex and extinguishing them upon contact, though the residual heat of Mesarthim's flames was too much for the barrier to mitigate.
