Chapter 25 - Potential as a human

CHAPTER 25 - POTENTIAL AS A HUMAN

Alea, seeing my attack being straight forward, used her plant magic–which was by her side the moment I unleashed the fire wall–aiming for my dominant hand.

I responded by letting the vines take hold of my arm, engulfed in fire, the healthy vines burned before even touching my arm. Anyhow, she wasn't the only one trying to attack me as well. Yet, this time, expecting something more lethal, I was met with the surroundings turned to heavy fog.

She's using her advantage as the Lance called Phantasm.

Illusion magic being used to the max. This is going to be troublesome. I thought, already nervous on where the elven lance could be. My eyes scattered around, in hopes of finding a small clue of where she could be. Just standing here is a killer mood, even though I lost sight of Alea in an instant. Their mana signature is not something I could trace now, I'm at a disadvantage right now.

"Why so nervous Luke~"

The distant yet very close voice of Aya sent chills down my spine. She was happy to see me like this, even during death situations in these past years, I've never shown them this expression.

"Such a fun expression, but if you are only using this much power you won't be able to stand a chance against us."

Lance Aya's voice echoed throughout the arena, forcing me to face wherever the echo came from.

Feeling rather stressed from this technique, I had one plan that might work in my favor. If it does not and end up as a pile of ashes... I only have to try now.

Once again, I dissipated the remaining affinities and focused on one specific element. The main thing I needed to focus on was just on my right arm. More than that, I needed protection to buy me some time. And I have an elemental affinity in mind that could help me uncover more of its true potential.

That was enough for me to start grinning. My idea wasn't good enough to beat a Lance or even hurt one, but it was good enough to push their cards and assure me a victory.

But before I could even initiate my plan, hordes of green and thick vines came from the mist and began to grab me. Ignorantly, I decided to pay no attention to it as earlier I burnt the ones that Alea had tried to get a hold of me. However, these vines were not the same ones.

I waved my hand towards the group of vines, expecting them to burn to crisp but nothing happened. It took me a second to realize what was happening here. These vines are fire resistant?

No.

The vines have enough moisture to not ignite just by being next to the fire affinity. To prove my idea right, I sent more mana into my arm, fueling the fire even more. And as I expected, it was wet.

Smart. I thought. Dodging the vines that tried to get a hold of me while breaking my concentration towards the fire already covering twenty percent of my body.

With thinking that Alea was the only one attacking, I was wrong. Loud screams of whistles came from all sides. Not only did I have to dodge vines that are impossible to burn with my current affinity power but I also had to dodge sound breaking attacks with little to no time to react.

Cheeky little elves. I said in my mind, tired of their aggressive and merciless attacks, yet it crossed my mind that it was for my better future. If I really couldn't get them in a pinch or even counter their attacks, it would be all for nothing.

Yeah...it would be all for nothing...I would be weak when the War arrives and even before it does as well...Against the Elderwood Guardian...Against the Alacryan invasion force led by Dravneeve...The betrayal of the Drav Leaders...
