Chapter 120: Hilda Vs Nurina

A/N: BIG SPECIAL THANKS to @DDose and @DarthBane ... You guys are awesome. Here, some cult robes and masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were there... on an island... in the middle of b*m f**k nowhere.

After Hilda invited Nurina to the duel, the ship stopped by a wide flat island that didn't seem to have anything living on it.

Hilda came out of her quarters with a sword, an axe, and a spear wearing a full plate armor that looked super cool.

Nurina came wearing a blue long skirt and a curiass made of thin malachite metal, she was also wearing a crown that gave a strong magical feeling. She had five staves on her back.

How many years have passed since I saw her in her battle gear?

"Hehe! Old Witch, this won't go like last time."

"I know, Red Hag! This time you will eat dirt!"

For some reason, there fighting spirits were the real deal. Even I was having cold sweet all over my body let alone anyone else.

Hilda's Aura was overpowering and domineering and Nurina's magic was cold, murderous and heavy.

After we went on the island, Ylva followed us as it seems that she hates ships. We gathered in a good spot and sat down as Hilda and Nurina were trash talking each other.

I sat there, beside me was Wulfur who was sharing a drink with me, Alina and Jull sat a bit to the back, while Ylva was just watching while lying down.

For some reason Jull and Nefertiti were having a hard time focusing.

"Jon, this is..."

"She's called Ylva!"

"... And..."

"She is a Direwolf!"

"... Like the ones from the children tales?"

"... Probably!"

"Hooman! Big Doggo!"

"Come here! Don't get scared!"

"Nya! Big Doggo looking this way!"

"Just keep calm and don't look at her."

It seems that Ylva left a strong impression on them.

"Alina! You have seen Hilda fight before, right? How dangerous can she get?" I asked.

"Last time was three years ago, she was fighting a necromancer from Black Bone Clan and she was still trying out the Restoration Magic, things were pretty scary that day."

Black Bone Clan? Interesting!

If I remember, Hilda can only use Restoration Magic that my mysterious old man taught her.

"Senior, what about Master?"

"Sigh! Seven years ago, I and the cranky old man who used to teach me hunting were being chased by witches when we trespassed their territory. Let's just say when Nurina showed up, she played them as if they were children."

That was a long time ago and Nurina's power has increased by leaps and bounds since that day.

After a round of trash talking, they suddenly quieted down and looked at each other.

Hilda's hair was completely covered under her helmet but appeared from its back, she held her big axe and looked at Nurina.

Nurina was just chilling while giving Hilda a cold gaze, Nurina was entirely focused like that.

The air, the sea, the time, the space, all of it froze for a single second and the surrounding became cold as if all the energy in the world were sucked, even the sun got blocked by some gloomy clouds.

As lightning fell from the sky, Hilda and Nurina disappeared.

As thunder cracked, metal collided high above ten meters in the air.

Nurina is a battlemage so she can fight with staves in melee perfectly fine. She could even withstand a swing from Hilda.

After the clash, Nurina remained in air while Hilda descended to the ground. Nurina is using 'Levitation'.

After the exchange Nurina threw her staves up and they remained floating midair then took out the other staves and did the same, now she had five staves flying in an orbit around her.

One staff started shooting lightning by its own at Hilda who retreated a few steps to evade. The other staves started doing some conjuring.

From one spell Nurina can conjure two Storm Atronaches by that speed, the number was already too ridiculous to count.

Hilda, who was not using her Aura yet, swung her axe and threw it at the atronaches. The axe kept flying and hitting several atronaches before its power started to fade and fall down.

Hilda was not waiting for Nurina so she charged at the atronaches that started to shoot a lot of lightning at her and swung the sword she unsheathed. In her other hand she was using a Ward spell to block the magic shot at her by the atronaches. She destroyed some of them then jumed towards Nurina who suddenly disappeared once Hilda reached her.

That was teleportation.

Hilda seemed to have anticipated where Nurina would appear and threw the sword towards a certain direction. Sure enough Nurina was there.

Nurina was too fast and evaded easily then cast several lightning spells are Hilda like a machine gun.

Hilda was unfazed and unleashed a strong Aura of Sunlight. All the atronaches in the diameter of twenty meters were caught on fire and the lightning that Nurina shot was blocked by Hilda with a ward.

So Hilda's Aura can recreate the effect of the Sun Aspect, just like a paladin.

"Hehe! Red Hag, that's a new trick." Nurina was excited.

"Just don't bore me too much, hurry up and do one of those crazy things you did last time."

"Well, I didn't want to give the kids any traumas but I have a new trick I want to try."

Nurina casted multiple spells in a second and a lot of rune circles appeared midair.

"Senior! Can that be possible?" Alina freaked out.

"Well, if you can grasp space as much as Nurina, I am sure you can just imprint the runes midair just fine. Easier said than done though." I replied while trying to make an understanding of what is going on.

To do multiple cast in those short seconds was not only casting too fast but was casting more than one spell on the same hand.

I read that Arch-Mage Shalidor, the founder of the College, could do four on one hand while two is Nurina's limit but it was still a very overpowering technique.

Nurina used her free left hand and flicked her fingers then all the Atronaches she conjured before got banished. In the next second, the runes around her flew in an orbit and united themselves in one rune. I could see that some of the circles were from the 'Telepathy' aspect and the 'Insinuating' effect, the largest one was conjuring a Storm Atronach rune circle.

I don't understand why but Nurina could easily just mix them in one simple spell without showing off the runes like that... unless...

"This crazy woman..." I thought of something.

"Jon?" Wulfur asked.

"She is trying out a new spell she just thought of! Why do I have to be around every time?" I was having a series of traumatic experiences going through my mind. Whenever Nurina have an idea, she translates it into a spell right away.

"Senior, what should we do?" Alina seemed to have understood what is going on. She was also pale for some reason.

"A ward! Big enough! Jull! A ward! Together!" My brain was functioning at an incredible speed and I could only say word tags the understand.

I also casted a ward and changed it to focus its defense at Lightning Negation.

My fears came true! The spell was something absurd.

"Senior! What is she doing?" Alina cried as Nurina started to rise more in the aira.

"Conjuring something crazy! A Storm Atronach! A thrall! Look!"

I could finally see a void distortion but it was just a little bit to big.

Before anything appear from there, lightning came out! It was some Wild Lightning that struck anywhere randomly. This was a mark that the spell wasn't stable but it still didn't crumble.

"Hahaha! Jon, look at that! Let's see your invention coming into reality by me! Hahaha!" Nurina was excited despite how unstable the summon is.

"My invention? What crazy shit are you doing this time?"

"Haha! Behold, that tower thing! Haha!"

"Do you even know what you are conjuring?"

"... I forgot its name." Nurina paused her crazy laughter and thought for a while then decided it is okay.

The mutated Atronach was summoned and it started shooting lightning everywhere.

"Jon! Isn't that..." Wulfur recognized it.

"... This crazy Dunmer!" I was dumbfounded.

Nurina conjured a giant Storm Atronach that was almost fifteen meters long. From the energy I could sense, this thing was a highly potent Atronach to be conjured in that size.

This is a Storm Atronach Tesla Tower! Something I and Wulfur researched together but we meant to make it into a mechanical weapon! Not an Atronach.

That tesla tower was shooting its lightning everywhere not even targeting Hilda the way it should be. This spell is simply broken.

"Hahaha! See that, Red Hag?"

Hilda who was smiling held the spear on her back and cracked her neck.

"Looks like I need to get serious too! Sorry, Jon. But mother is not losing in front of you like that."

Hilda's Aura changed! It was holy and warm like a paladin just a while ago, now it started to take a bloody feeling as if there is real blood in the air.

"Oh no!" Alina turned from pale to yellow.

"What is it?"

"This Aura! It is bad news!"

"Why?" I shouted as I couldn't hear from the blowing wind and the repeated thunder cracks.

"Have you ever heard of the 'Bloody Hilda'?"

"Ah, isn't that Hilda's name call when she went on rampage ten years ago!"

"Well, you're about to know why she got the name."

I looked back at Hilda who had gone into a berserking state and started running towards the Storm Atronach Tesla Tower in high speed.

Once she was half way through she made a scary shout.

"SU GRAH DUN!" Hilda performed a Thu'um and her speed became so fast that it was akin to a speeding car.

That shout is called 'Elemental Fury'... speed related... no time to explain.

Nurina put her four staves into a star formation and shot a lightning beam from them.

Hilda was fast and could evade, she didn't head straight to the Storm Atronach Tesla Tower but she took a little turn and held her spear. In just one second she threw the spear at the Storm Atronach Tesla Tower.

The spear traveled in the air in a red beam and exploded when it came in contact with the Storm Atronach Tesla Tower. Half of the gigantic atronach crumbled and its unstable nature started to affect its function as it started shooting lightning madly.

"Gahahaha! Old Witch, that thing is merely so?" Hilda was in the same crazed state of Nurina.

"Don't underestimate me! NOW!" Nurina did something absurd again and cast a spell at the Atronach.

This spell is 'Consume Power'. It makes the summoned creatures stronger for a short period of time then they die.

This is bad! The Storm Atronach Tesla Tower started to glow and its power became intense. It will get blown up any second now.

"Hahaha! That's the spirit, Old Witch."

"Bring it on, Red Hag!"

These two had completely gone berserk!

Hilda ran towards Nurina while performing another shout.

"LOM RIIN KRAN!"

And this is the moment when all things went wrong.

"Jon! That Thu'um is?"

It is not a Thu'um from the game but I understood each word.

"Lom means Water..."

"... Riin means Wave..."

"... Kran means *gulp*... that!"

I pointed at the sea on behind Hilda!

Kran means Tide.
