Trading With Another World

Assault (4)

The sound of an explosion accompanied by a small vibration struck the basement. Because the wall of earth that Alex made before leaving the mouth of the tunnel was quite thick, the wall only suffered a large crack before it completely disappeared.

Alex, Big Three, and Mina walked slowly towards the mouth of the tunnel after they made sure everything was safe.

The black darkness had replaced the flames that enveloped the entire tunnel road. Cursed creature body fragments were seen scattered throughout the tunnel, with fire still gnawing at the flesh ferociously.

"What did you just do?"

Mina's expression looked flat as it was unable to digest what had just happened.

"It was my ultimate magic, hahahaha." Alex replied with a dry laugh.

"In addition, didn't you also previously use earth element magic?

"Ohh... That's right, I'm sorry for hiding it from you guys."

Big Three just sighed with Alex's response.

"This part seems to be done. Let's help Christopher and Jean finish what's left!"

Alex and Mina responded to Big Three with a nod before the three ran towards the other side of the room.

*****

While defending the fireball attack from the blue priestess, Christopher and Jean manage to get rid of some of the cursed creatures around them.

Alex counted the number of damned creatures left at this time only in the top ten.

He approached the two then swung the metal stick that flowed mana and hit the head of one of the damned creatures with all his might.

Bams...

Alex ignores the black blood that splashes into his body and kicks the body of another creature away. "I'll help. All the damned creatures from the tunnel have been overcome."

Both are happy to see Alex coming. Despite the number of damned creatures remaining a little. They had to endure the attacks issued by the blue priest.

Christopher took out two bottles of recovery potion and handed one of them to Jean. "Drink."

Jean did not refuse Christopher's gift. With his body covered in wounds, he had to recover in order to help as much as possible.

"Mina, put out the fire surrounding this blue priest. I'll approach him and attack him directly."

"Don't attack immediately. I'll try it first and see how it works."

Big Three nodded in understanding with Mina's reply. If it turned out that his water magic was useless, then attacking the blue priest directly was a careless move.

Mina took out the third magic stone from the storage ring and replaced the second magic stone attached to her wand.

Then he stomped the magic wand onto the ground while loudly shouting. "wave tide. Control it."

In contrast to the attack in the tunnel earlier, the wave he made this time did not directly charge forward towards the enemy.

He controlled the waves to surround the entire outer area of the blazing flames around the blue priest, before swinging his staff in rhythm with the waves of water scattering to extinguish the flames.

Or that's what both of them think. Their faces were shocked to see the flames reappearing not until three seconds after the previous fire was extinguished.

"He recreated his magic back after the previous fire was extinguished."

Mina growled in frustration. He repeated the previous magic to extinguish the newly emerging flames. After all half of the amount of mana he needed for the magic was taken from the magic stone on his wand.

After three failed attempts, the Big Three stopped their fourth attempt. "Hold down. Zeff once told me of the abilities of the Blood Star Church members who used forbidden techniques. If you try to exhaust the mana reserves, then you will lose."

Big Three told me the information he heard from Zeff. The Blood Star Church performed a forbidden magic that gathered human souls and extracted them into a container. They can use the container as a substitute for which reserves are needed to realize their magic.

Compared to wearing a magic stone that halved the amount of mana the wearer needed, that forbidden technique could supply the entire mana cost required!

But because of the way it was necessary to make the container of the technique, the entire kingdom as well as the empire forbade the use of the technique and made it a forbidden technique.

"Make a big wave and keep the water as long as possible after the fire is out. As soon as possible I'll beat him on the sidelines of time."

Sshhhh.....

The blue priest certainly did not stand by and let the two of them make a plan. Mina made a water barrier to hold back the three fireballs that the blue priest shot out.

"I might be able to retain the water for ten seconds before my mana runs out."

"That's enough."

Although water magic required less mana than earth magic, the volume of water Mina produced was much larger than the nail wall made by the Big Three during defending the tunnel.

Mina also adjusted the number of magic stones she brought with her mana reserves. Based on his previous experience, his mana reserves would be drained out once the mana accumulated within his four magic stones were completely empty.

"Wave tide....." Mina created a huge wave of water according to the maximum she could control and then shouted, "Control!"

Ssshhhhhhhc.....

The Big Three drained a small amount of mana on both legs and then shot forward amidst the water mist created.

"The fire bullet."

Three fireballs were fired consecutively towards the Big Three. Big Three crossed both arms covering part of his face when he saw the path of the attack.

Zrach... Zrach... Oh!!!

Big Three did not manage to dispel the third fireball with both arms. He kept on going while growling to endure the pain in the part of his stomach that began to burn.

The Big Three appeared in front of the blue priest a moment later. He swung his burly arm towards the belly of the blue priest.

Bukkkkp.....

The blue priest managed to dispel Big Three's fist with his magic wand. Even so, both of his arms experienced sharp pain due to the impact of the impact.

This is where the Big Three's edge is seen. His powerful physique allowed him to take advantage in close combat.

He turned and retracted his fist, throwing a punch that was pounding towards the blue priest in front of him.

Dash... Dash... Dash... Dash...

Although the blue priest's physique was weaker, he was still able to repel all the Big Three's attacks.

There is a saying that in a healthy body there is a strong soul. This also applies to witches. The body of a witch also grew stronger along with their level of mana control.

Of course the ratio is different for everyone. Just like the Big Three. In addition to practicing magic, he also trained his body and made physical attacks the main weapon in the fight.

The pain felt by the blue priest began to increase along with the barrage of blows from the Big Three.

Then the Big Three twisted its body quickly and floated a kick into the belly of the blue priest.

The blue priest did not manage to hold the kick. He bounced to a corner of the room and let out a cough of blood from his mouth and nose. "Uhukis... Uhuk... Hahahaha, you made a mistake. You're taking me out of the water magic range!"

The blue priest shouted hysterically, throwing frustration at the wounds inflicted by the Big Three's powerful attack.

"Domain of darkness."

He re-created a blaze that formed a quarter of a circle around him.

"This is your defeat! I know where that woman is running out of. I'll kill you all and....."

Dor!!!

A bullet shot out the blue priest's right shoulder.

"Ohhhhh..."

The blue priest cried out in pain so his concentration was dissolved. The flow of mana he channeled through the magic wand stopped, so that the flames he had just made a moment ago were extinguished.

"It seems like we arrived on time. All the remaining damned creatures we've managed to finish off."
