The group was blocked by twin mages during their escape.
We are caught between two Dark Elves, unable to move. We don’t know how strong these mages are. Their previous attack might not even be a warm-up.
“Tsk, this is annoying. Let’s attack them both at once. Hey, Man-faced Cat, you take the opposite side.”
Elana scowled at Veronica’s command but took her position. She lit purple flames in her hands and headed towards one of the twins. Elana then followed by unleashing flames at the enemy.
“Hmph, it’s useless!”
Veronica rushed forward as before, but was struck by a gust of wind. However, she quickly dodged it and unleashed flames. The blowing wind nullified his attack as well. But that was only once; Veronica’s flames had more power. Just as hope seemed to emerge, she was blown away by the wind from the front.
At the same time, Elana’s flames hit the other mage, but they were blocked by a wall of earth. Veronica, who was slammed into the ground, rolled this way and was pushed back again.
“Haa, damn it. My own wings are getting in the way.”
It seemed she was pushed back by the wind hitting her wings. This means she is at a disadvantage against wind attribute magic. Piyo is also at a disadvantage. Meanwhile, Elana’s flames appear to be at a disadvantage against earth attribute magic.
“It’s no use. Earth magic takes time to activate, but it’s strong against fire. I’m at a disadvantage.”
Even the two who could use long-range attacks found it difficult to deal effective damage. First, we need to determine which of them has which attribute. While we were thinking about such things, they instantly changed their positions.
“Hehehe, if you’re going to be spacing out, we’ll come to you.”
Then, wind began to blow around us. It grew stronger and stronger, like a tornado. We were quickly trapped in a cage of wind. Elana, who had stepped forward, retreated backward.
“Damn! We have to escape quickly, or we’ll all be wiped out.”
It would be reckless to charge into the strengthening vortex of wind. But if earth magic were to be used now, it would mean total annihilation. A chill ran down my spine, like a frog being stared down by a snake. I need to think of something; our lives are in danger if we don’t deal with this immediately. The rising dust cloud obscuring the twins’ figures only made me more anxious. While this is happening, the other one is undoubtedly gathering power.
“There’s no choice. Let’s go, everyone follow me!”
Karubene took a swig of sake from somewhere and ran towards the wall of wind that stood in their way.
