228 The Limits Of Their Powers
—–
The enormous earth golems continued to crush the enemy while the whole caravan moved quickly outside of the jungle, the entire group was being swarmed by a near endless quantity of green skins, the entire group was putting their work into stopping them from getting too close, but some of them managed to sneak into the barrier, touching it and ending up getting vaporized alive by doing so
BOOM!!!
“Gryyeeaaahahh...!”
Sylphy looked down as she realized the barrier had some sort of power that could let attacks and even people pass through it, but enemies would suddenly get attacked with deadly holy light that would vaporize them alive! This power was truly something else... The magic that Faylen was using was both incredibly complex and lethal, and she was controlling such a barrier leisurely as if nothing!
Faylen looked around the battlefield as she pointed her staff, made of a mystical wood named Yggdrasil Wood and decorated on the top with a big yellow-gold jewel, she began unleashing a powerful magic!
“Divine Holy Light Magic: Automatic Divine Ray.”
FLAAAASH!
Suddenly, dozens of magic circles emerged all around the barriers, beginning to rotate with hundreds of runes each one, as they started to unleash powerful beams of holy light against the green skins one after the other! The powerful beams of light were like a spectacle by themselves, easily killing the monsters that came closer by vaporizing them into oblivion!
.....
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM BOOM!
“A-Amazing...” Said Sylphy, as she looked at her mother’s magic, she was able to conjure amazing magic with just a mere thought, all these incredibly complex magic circles and runes that took some time for Sylphy to build up were just made in a whim!
“Things are doing quite great, but if we don’t kill the blue demon we’ll get annoyed through our entire trip, I don’t know if your father can keep up for so long- I don’t mean that he’ll get tired or something, but the more fire he unleashes, the more heat his body accumulates, his physique makes it so he can absorb the heat and not make his attacks utterly destructive, but at some point he’ll have to take it all out or he’ll begin to get dizzy...” Sighed Sylphy’s mother. “So we cannot push him too hard without having a proper place for him to go all out, or he’ll... well, he might vaporize the entire jungle.”
“Is father some sort of living bomb?!”
“Well yes, after reaching the level of power he does, his flame powers are like that...” Sighed her mother. “He used such a technique to deal the finishing blow to the demon king... He took enormous quantities of damage and accumulated it alongside heat, and then he just... let it all out, the entire demon king’s castle exploded, and so the entire city surrounding it... I still remember how hard it was to resist his flames using my barrier, it took everything I had.”
“F-Father is okay, right?” Asked Sylphy. “Doing that doesn’t hurt him?”
“I... Well, he’s okay.” Said her mother. “Yeah... However, at some point he’ll have to come back here can slowly release this energy like steam coming out of his body.”
“I-I see...” Sighed Sylphy.
Sylphy began to grow a bit concerned about her father, it seems that his powers were not so simple, and there were certain and strange mechanics that made him something like a living time bomb... Overusing his flames would constantly make his body automatically absorb the heat, and later, he would have to unleash it into an explosion or he would grow too tired, it was something that sounded quite dangerous when Sylphy heard it out loud, and she only began to grow more concerned about her father’s safety.
Of course, Allan was not someone that would easily let his daughter see him in such a state, and was moderately using his powers, if he were to go all out, he green skins would die even faster than now. Meanwhile, Shade’s daggers were constantly absorbing the blood of his enemies, while his shadows grew large rand larger, as if they were an uncontrollable demon.
Aquarina noticed her father’s amazing strength, but also felt a sudden fear, the intentions of these shadows were pure malice... Her father never had bad intentions within him, but Aquarina’s ability to detect intentions and emotions were alarmed each time she looked at her father, especially those shadows... they really felt as if they were alive.
“Papa’s shadows continue growing bigger...” She said. Faylen noticed Aquarina’s concerns.
“You father’s shadows are like living beings of their own, they’re some sort of special magic that was born naturally from him as he grew stronger... They are like some sort of independent demonic spirit that inhabits his soul, which expresses itself with his weapons and armor... All over his body as well.” Said Faylen. “It grows bigger and bigger based in how many living beings he can kill and how much blood he can absorb, it grants him amazing strength in battle, but it is a double-edged sword... It can become uncontrollable sometimes. But Shade... has learned how to tame it, to some extent.”
“I-Is that so? Is that why I feel... so much malice from these shadows?” Wondered the little Aquarina.
“Perhaps... It is certainly not a good-aligned entity, it has malice and monstrous nature within it... I believe this power might be the expression of a certain part of Shade’s psyche... Perhaps it could be all the negative emotions he holds...” Said Faylen. “It has been proven that his emotions affect the shadows...”
“Papa... Don’t push yourself too hard...” Sighed Aquarina, looking worriedly at her father, as she noticed that more and more green skins continued to come to the barrier.
“Well, how about you three kids do some work? Unleash all the long-ranged attacks you want! I’ll buff you!” Said Faylen, as she decided to incentive the children to fight as well but within a safe place.
