Burning Soul

At Theo’s signal Sylph pounced on the summoned wolf, startling other members of their party.

She cast a spell at the same time, one of her signature spells,

Hollow Wind: On using causes everyone to back off by a step as a blow of heavy wind

That spell hit everyone except that summon who had a good resistance for magical attacks. With a hint of irritation, Warlock kid ordered his summon to go all out on Sylph, but to their surprise, she turned away and flew towards the denser region of the forest.

The summon followed her without giving any thought as it was merely following the orders, cast by the Warlock Kid. As it got in the bushes the region got awfully calm, leaving only the party of the Dark elves and Warlock kid behind.

…

In the while, the elves surrounded the kid, as they felt something amiss. In an instant, Naomi pounced on them from one side, with both hands carrying her swords.

A proud skill of Paladins,

Unmovable stance: Upon using increases the effective hit rate of the swordsman boosting the physical ATK by 20% for 2-4 seconds

It startled those dark elves, they all struggled to protect the kid. Little they knew, her swing was quite heavy for them, after all, she was a paladin who mastered swordsmanship.

While the elves who were being forced to fight her off, were proficient in fighting with daggers, meaning they were not a good choice for an opponent as fierce as a paladin. With a single slash skill, two of the elves were sent off flying.

Just as the Warlock was about to cast a spell on her, a lightning spell came out of nowhere and landed right where it was standing, if not for his quick move, he’d have gotten hit. Cate had successfully stopped him from using his spell.

Although the warlock was lucky enough to escape, his fellow elven guards were not, with that hit they were all scattered. It was now even easier for Naomi and Cate to deal with them while someone else drew Warlock’s attention.

“Go for it Naomi, I’ll back you with magic!” As Cate said so, Naomi took the lead without waiting any more moment. This was the perfect moment to deal with them as Warlock couldn’t deal with the incoming attack while protecting his people.

With an irritated look, it began chanting again, this time high tier magic, but again was interrupted by Catherine’s spell,

Aqua Slash: Upon casting, elemental magic activates causing a burst of water to project towards the target

A burst of pressurized water jet hit him hard. Before he could balance and prepare himself for another attack, Theo came from his left-hand side. ‘Quick-Jump’, a quick and efficient skill, and in second, he was right above him.

To block him, he cast a barrier above him, making him unable to land a hit. But he forgot to look out for another shadow that closed in on him from the back.

Vivian used her stealth skill to close in, unnoticed and got behind him waiting for the moment he was busy dealing with Theo. Her daggers, as fast as they could get, came to his neck with full force. She had used a ‘Cross-Slash’ skill, suitable for dual dagger wielders.

Cross Slash: an effective close-range skill allowing dual dagger wielder to cause 10% more damage with each hit if continued for more than 4 times

Clang! A sharp noise of metal scratching on metal was heard. Everyone was startled to see a light neckline armor protecting him. That hit cut through his clothes revealing the armor. Her daggers couldn’t get through it, but that sudden revelation caused a lag in her actions, giving the Warlock an opportunity to block the attack.

He did not only block it, but also grabbed her arms and smashed her right on the ground, in an arc motion.

Reverse Blow: At the cost of 10% mana essence the body of the user breaks the physical limit to land significant Physical Damage on Target’s body

The impact was so high, she literally coughed out blood and passed out in an instant.

The skill was a little overkill for her fragile body causing her to pass out right away. The skill was no joke, and one could simply not have predicted it coming as well. It was that quick.

Looking around there was no one t6 stop him in that instant.

Cate was busy dealing with other elves who were outnumbering Naomi. Even though Naomi was a Paladin, being a heavy sword user, her melee attacks were good though she lacked the intense agility elves excelled at.

…

The situation had turned around in an instance.

“This ain’t good” Theo couldn’t process all of this at the moment.

He was just a few steps away with a shocked expression.

The warlock then stepped on and pinned Vivian with a crooked smile, he looked at Theodore, who was looking at the scene with a hint of exasperation.

He had just called death upon himself by doing so.

Before the Warlock could move, Theo stood up, tightening his grip on his daggers. looking at him. One could see death in his eyes, for the first time he was willing to kill someone.

“You’ve gone and done it huh!” He spoke in a low voice while looking dead in the eye of the warlock’

Theo threw him a crooked smile and then started running towards him, both daggers asking for blood, a deadly hunt had just begun.
