Chapter 32: New Spells and One Shot Kill
After Athan returned to the cave where The mystical tree was, He sat down and thought about which new spell should be created.
But just as he was in the midst of his thoughts, His connection with the four-winged hurricane tiger suddenly cut off.
Athan snapped out of his thoughts as he muttered, " Looks like The four-winged hurricane tiger is dead. "
He stood up and went out to check the situation.
...
Looking around while floating above the pond, Athan didn't find anyone, confused he thought, ' After killing it, they ran away? what the heck? '
Athan then activated the Art Rune and created another Four-Winged Hurricane Tiger, but the beast he summoned this time was way more powerful than the previous one, Although its size only increased by half, it's energy was more compact and he consumed more than thrice the previous amount of energies from energy seas.
Looking at the beast that he conjured, Athan nodded with satisfaction, " Good, This time I doubt it will be killed that easily. "
After that, he went back into the pond.
...
Somewhere inside the Origin Forest.
Two figures were sitting on a giant Thunder-Fire Eagle, One Young and one old.
The older figure's face was pale and his left leg was cut off from the knee, And the younger one had a worried look as he asked, " Master, They...Will they still be able to follow us? "
The old man nodded slowly and said, " As long as I can't expel the wood and dark energy inside my leg, they will be able to track me. "
The Younger one who looked to be as same as age grew agitated hearing that, " Master, I'm really sorry, If not for my request to get strong faster, you wouldn't have brought me to that place..."
The old man sighed as he interrupted, " Say no more, Who would have expected that I will meet my enemies there, Those two were no match for me because previously they were Tier-1 Elemental Overlord while I was a Tier-2 Elemental Overlord, But now I'm still in Tier-2 while they both have also reached Tier-2 Elemental Overlord. "
The young man stopped speaking but he still felt somewhat responsible.
The duo was none other than Valley Master of the Thunder-Fire Valley and the best friend of Athan, Mike.
Mike had reached the pinnacle of Elemental Master and as long as he opens his Psychic Realm he can pass that barrier and then he can start refining his Elemental Energy and become Elemental Mage.
But their situation currently was very grave.
While The Valley Master took Mike to a place where chaotic Space energy was abundant, They encountered the sworn enemies of Valley Master and they attacked them resulting in the Valley Master's injury and their current situation.
...
...
Athan finally thought of a new spell that he wanted to create, <Dark Bubbles>.
The Dark Element has great resistance against other elements and it can also weaken the other elements because of its property.
The <Dark Bubbles> spell that Athan thought of was a Hybrid spell as it can be used for Defence and Attack.
When Athan wants to defend he can make a Big Dark Bubble to encompass him and his allies in it resulting in a <Dark Barrier> and to attack he can also shoot small but speedy and powerful <Dark bubbles>.
With Spell Rune, He only needs a single thought to let the Spell rune Form a spell according to his command, For example, If he commands <Dark Barrier> then Spell Rune will form a Big bubble of Dark energy and if he commands <Dark Bubbles>, The Spell rune will forms Dark Bubbles.
Athen then controlled a very small amount of dark energy and controlled it to make a small barrier that encompassed him, and after that, he once again used some energy and controlled it to create the dark bubbles.
Seeing that his spell was successful, started the process of creating the Spell Rune for it
He cut off another piece from the remaining Mystic Energy and turned it into a stone before giving it a dark color and drawing a few bubbles in it with a white sheen, He then did the same process as previous times and successfully formed another Spell Rune, <Dark Bubbles.>
Athan did not stop there as he had already thought of another spell.
This time Athan wanted to create a Combo Spell.
After thinking long and hard, Athan Finally decided to create a spell with the combination of Air and Fire.
<Fire Tornado>
Athen first took a small amount of Air energy before controlling it to spin like a tornado before he added fire into it using some fire energy.
He created a tiny tornado on his palm as he can't afford to create a big one in this cave.
Since Air could combust fire and bring out even more power, they were suitable with each other.
Currently, in Athan's hand, a small orange tornado was spinning around filled with flames.
After seeing that he succeeded in forming this spell he immediately cut another piece from Mystic Energy and turned it into stone before giving it Light orange color and drawing a cyan-colored tornado in it with red flames around it.
He then proceeded to carve the spell inside the Stone to make it into a Spell Rune of Fire Tornado.
After he was done with the process, Athen took a careful look at the mystic energy and deduced that he will only able to create 2 more spells with this energy.
He created a Total of 5 Runes: <Fireball>, <Lightning Spear>, A Beast Art, <Dark Bubbles> & <Fire Tornado>.
" I have Attack spells and a Defence Spell, What I lack are Utility Spells. "
After thinking about it for some time, Athan thought of creating a Flying Wing spell, the Wings he designed will need Air and Lightning, and it will be named as <Lightning Aerial Wings>
He then pulled out some Air and Lightning Energy and created a pair of wings that resembles the wings of the roller bird.
Athan had seen this bird in his previous life when he was on earth, and he especially liked this bird's wings. [A/N: Search in google if you want to see this bird's wings]
Athan created the left wing with Air Element and the right-wing with the lightning element, This way, He can also fly faster as Air and Lightning are naturally faster while also activating the energy within the wings to fly faster.
After forming the wings behind his back, Athan Flew slowly around the cave but since he can not gauge the true extent of his spell Athan went outside and flew in a random direction.
" This time, I'll try the speed of the wings and also Attack and Defence of Dark Bubbles. "
Athen then sped up by activating the energy and...
*BOOM...*
He broke the sound barrier easily and the speed was still increasing.
He flew for 10 minutes straight as he kept increasing speed, But suddenly stopped because he could feel a powerful clash of energies in front of him.
After thinking for a second, Athan decided to check out the situation as he slowed his breathing and dissolved his wings as he quietly moved forward.
The reason he was being careful was that the energy clashing he felt was way more powerful than the Elemental Energies possessed by Elemental Archmages.
As Athan got closer to the battle, He finally saw the people who were fighting and as he looked around them his face changed suddenly seeing the person who was barely defending against the people and another person who stood on a Flying Beast with a worried face.
Athan wanted to rush out there but he suppressed his urge and assessed the situation.
He took a deep breath and frowned while thinking, ' That's Mike and that elder is his master, That elder will go down anytime and I doubt they will spare mike, and their enemies are two Elemental Overlords, I have to sneak attack them as I don't know if I can match up to them. '
After decided his course of action, Athan instantly summoned two <Lightning spears> and grabbed one of them in his right hand before overdrawing his physical strength and threw it towards the enemy who attacking with Water Elemental Spells because that enemy was giving much harder time to the Valley Master as his water attacks were effective on Valley Master's Fire Defensive spells.
The other enemy was trying to hold the movement and sealing the path of retreat.
Just as the Enemy was going to attack with another water spell, his face changed suddenly and tried to dodge but the Spear this time had 3 whole drops of lightning energy concentrated into it and Athan also threw it with full power and further increased its speed as he activated the lightning energy at the tail of the spear.
So the enemy could not dodge at all and was hit in the chest by the spear before he was directly blasted into the distance by the spear might and started spewing out a mouthful of blood and before he could stabilize, The spear turned into lightning currents and entered inside his body, wreaking havoc there.
After a few seconds, he drew his last breaths.
Silence.
Everyone stood there dumbfounded as they couldn't fathom how an Elemental Overlord died just like that.
Actually not just them, Even Athan was dumbfounded.
