Chapter 56: The Power Of A Wizard Ranked Human

I watched as Keaurin's knees shook from the impact, making him fall not too long after. The gigantic wolf landed violently onto the floor, causing dust to be pushed up into a cloud of dust. The man who had shot the lightning looked at Keaurin as if he was looking at a pile of trash.

Unfortunately for the blue robed man, the wolf had gotten up much faster than expected, launching multiple shards of sharp glass towards the enemy.

With my enhanced hearing, I could clearly hear the blue robes man sneer at the pathetic desperate move. One thing he did not understand was that he had been put into a trap. Large shards of glass, 50 meters long, protruded from the ground in a circular formation, surrounding the blue robed mage and giving him no safe exit but up. Every single glass started to vibrate at a high vibration, making sounds so strong it closed the small gaps between each glass shard while consequently shaking the brain of the person with in.

Once the Blue robed man realised this, he wasted no time to cast multiple spells with hand signs as his ears bled all over from the sheer power of the vibrations and the sound they were making. His ears drums had been completely torn, yet his regeneration seemed to be working at a slightly faster speed, repairing his eardrums little by little.

Bolts of magma had then started to pierce the man's body, slowly but surely incapacitating him, making him unable to use his hands to cast hand signs.

Suddenly, the Blue robes on the man had started to lighten up in white runes that had already covered half of the robe and was only increasing in quantity and size. As the runes would lighten up, a crackling sound followed by a thunderous 'boom' was created. While the clouds within the sky had started to gather above the man, circulating like a hurricane, the white runes only shone whiter and more brightly.

The vigorous life like flickers of light that had come off the robe send so much pressure in the area around, that it caused even everything including me, to drop on the ground. It was akin to having a boulder on your back, being forced to carry it around with you, yet I wasn't even the main focus of this pressure. Keaurin was the only thing alive that as still standing, as his eyes and soul flames flickered with determination alike. His legs were trembling from the sheer force of the mana exuding from the body of the man, while the ground under him had started to form multiple cracks and fractures across the surface.

However, Once Keaurin and I had used a little bit of our auras, we were both able to stand tall without feeling the pressure of such a powerful Aura. While the wolf's aura exploded with enough mana to cover the entire battle field, mine was not one I had control over, as it was only activated the moment my grandmother had used her aura against me, while it had activated the second time when the terrifying aura of the blue robed man had erupted from within him an the runes within his clothes.

Around only 400 meters away, were running a group of women and men followed by a pair of younglings who couldn't be over the age of 14, and finally women with a large staff at the back. They were all staring in a certain direction until they felt a huge influx of mana hit them like a truck. Most of the group had instantly paled while the two kids at the back were close to fainting from the pressure alone.

"What the hell was that?!" Asked the women dubbed 'the goblin slaughterer'

"We have to hurry" voiced out the elderly women, increasing her speed another level

Unfortunate for this group of people, they were a little too late. The clash between the two titans had already started, causing such strong shockwaves and gusts of win to come towards me that it had caused me to put up a wall in front of me.

"Should I take it off?" I mumbled under my breath while looking towards the bracelet on my right wrist. Juilam had originally given it to me so I can learn how to use my elements rather than rely on my mana pool, however, in satiations like this where mana pool were the only things that mattered, it would only make sense to take it off, right? That is what I was thinking anyway, yet when I felt the presence of multiple people, those that I was familiar with, I had decided to take action and not waste any more time.

The blue robed man had already broken out of his sound imprisonment glass thingy, making it almost impossible to locate where he would be due to his almost light level speed. I say almost, because the man was clearly not there yet. The power of a powerful mage according to Juilam, Is to first be able to emit the aura of the element you have an affinity to, to then be capable of infusing the element within your muscles, organs and body itself and finally, to become one with the element you re attuned to. Apparently there are many other steps, but those are the main ones.

The closer one is to becoming one with their element, the stronger their bond with it will become, allowing someone who is an earth element user to turn to earth, or a air user to turn into gas. The man in front of us was using both the element of light that was seeping from his clothes and body, and the lighting element made from creating plasma in the form of lighting. The man clearly had not become one with the lighting, even though it wasn't even an element, but rather just a sub-element created from fire.

Even though I knew this man was extremely strong, I had felt a very strong grip around my heart, not out of fear or overwhelming, but excitement. My hearts was pounding rapidly as my palms started to sweat. Under the mask, I couldn't help my smile widely at the stupid yet plausible idea I had come up with. Flashes of the time I had come to the forest and had created an explosive beam.

It wasn't very powerful, but it was the best thing I had a the moment without the power of the awakening saving my ass again any time soon.

Tuning out my surroundings and putting all my concentration onto a single thing, my mind acceleration activated and everything became slow-

'First, Create a flash point using the fire elemental particles. Add a little oxygen and combustion occurs. Take a mixture of the oxygen and hydrogen. Encase it within a partition of air, and ignite it from the flash point. instead of allowing the explosion to occur, stop it from effecting the environment by not allowing the flames to leave a certain area. After the blue flames are concentrated enough-'

I pointed my index finger at the blue robed man who had seemed to get a sudden chill down his spine. The hairs on his neck had stood up, while his instincts were telling him to move. The moment he looked in the direction of the danger, he saw a blue ball of flame and energy go towards him at speeds that could rival that of his. Feeling the slightly weak energy coming from it, he threw his worried at the back of his mind while he extended his arm forwards.

With a smug grin on the man's face, he looked towards me and formed a electric bolt at his index finger, ready to shoot whenever the blue ball hits him. Unfortunate for him, ignoring his instincts were the biggest mistakes. As a magic user becomes stronger, their body and instincts start to adapt and become more refined, ignoring those instincts can only be described as a rookie mistake.

The moment the blue ball had hit him, the flash point ignited the hydrogen and oxygen that had already started to seep into each other, creating a small scale chain reaction, consequently forming a huge explosion. An enormous mushroom cloud, around 170 meters tall, erupted from the epicentre, becoming visible within miles of it. The shock wave had sent me flying into numerous trees, while the sound travelled across the entire area of the white wolf tribe.

My grandmother's group had stopped moving, as they looked at the mushroom imagining the worst. My grandmother jumped and moved at her full speed, using both air and lightning magic to move as fast as possible, leaving the rest of the group far behind. Once she had gotten to the scene, it looked much worse than what she had imagined.

All the trees within a 80 meter radius were on fire, while within the explosion itself, it seemed like everything had been charred beyond comprehension

"PANDORA!?" my grandmother shouted while frantically looking around

"YOU B*TCH!" roared a horse voice from within the mushroom cloud that had already started to dissipate.

'F*CK! HOW IS HE STILL ALIVE!? MY WHOLE BODY HAS OVERHEATED TO A FATAL POINT AND MY MANA IS COMEPLTELY EXHAUSTED! PLUS, I ALMOST DIED MAKING THAT BEAM!' I thought while looking at my own burnt hands and arms that had already almost healed 60% of the burns.

When the cloud had finally dissipated partially, I could identify a figure that become clearer and clearer as the seconds passed. The man was completely shirtless now, with nothing but some metal underwear to protect his privates from being seen. His right arm, that had been used to block the blue ball of flames, was completely black in colour. It was roasted and looked like it would fall off at any second if the man was not careful.

"A-a... A wizard?!" mumbled the elderly women loud enough for my enhanced hearing to pick up. My ear drums were completely destroyed after the explosion, but using a little of my mana and increasing my hunger by a decent portion, the eardrums were instantly healed within a few seconds.

While I was pondering over the words of my grandmother, the once blue robed man looked at his own charred arm with a confused frown, wondering 'Why isn't it healing?'. Unknown to any of us, the divine energy within me had been taken out of my mana heart and seeped within the attack at a very small portion. This wouldn't usually make someone not heal due to the small amount, but looking at how severe the man's injuries are, the already weak healing process was completely halted.

The man looked at me with a ferocious expression, before infusing his body with the little amount of lightning he was able to, to break past the sound barrier and move to me in almost an instant. unfortunately for the once blue robed man, I could see all the elemental particles move towards him and be circulated with his mana within his body. The moment electricity crackled around the man, I had already moved away from the location of his trajectory, while slashing towards the area,

He reached the area he intended in a little more than an instant, moving like a blur and leaving a afterimage before him. Yet, the moment he landed and looked towards me to once again try to attack, he was met by the separation of my eyelids, and the pressure of looking directly towards the eyes of a divine being. Even someone like him, that my grandmother described as a 'wizard', was not able to refrain from freezing when out eyes met.

It might have been for a single moment, but a moment was all I needed to slash all the way from his charred shoulder to the side of his lung without endangering myself. To add salt to the man's injuries, a barrage of water slashes bombarded the left side of the man, while his back was being pummelled and pierced by several dozens of glass shards. I moved away while using the remaining bit of my mana to use windy steps to accelerate my retreat.

The once blue robed man was was riddled with injuries, while he had completely lost his right arm from my last slash and his left arm wasn't in a much better condition. Keaurin and Granny had decided to help me out, since they were both my allies even though they probably wouldn't get along well.

"I'LL KILL YOU ALL! HOW DARE YOU, Y-Y-YOU PATHETIC LOW RANKING MAGICIANS! I'M A WIZARD! A WIZARD I TELL YOU! ONCE IM DONE WITH ALL OF YOU, ILL WIPE YOUR ENTIREFAMILIES OFF THIS KINGDOM!" The bare-chested man roared while using water magic to take out something that looked like a potion, and drink it before we could stop him.

'SH*T' We all through in unison while the last batch of humans finally arrived at the scene.

'I have no mana left, and my body is lethally overheating! If I don't rest soon, I don't know what will happen! Water and healing magic aren't working, while air magic is just creating hot air rather than cool me down. Ice magic isn't cooling down my insides fast enough for me to be able to fight, while I don't even have enough mana to create a good self-cooling spell. God's, I hope the rest have a plan' I complained to myself

'I'm injured, low on mana, and had barely been able to damage this man without the help of my sound barrier or Atlas distracting him... We are in trouble. GOD! I hope the rest have a plan...' Keaurin thought to himself

'I won't be able to fight the man head on since he had now drank a body enhancing potion. If we can delay the fight for about 20 minutes I may be able to beat him later on, but right now, without the help of the others I cannot create a strong enough spell to attack the man. The lightning sub-element is quite the tricky element to fight against if you aren't an earth magician. I hope the wolf has a plan or we are screwed.' My grandmother gritted her teeth

Non of our wishes had come yet though, all of them being straight out rejected. Even though non of us had a plan, we all attacked at the same time, moving forwards with all our strength used to lunge while grabbing our weapons tightly. Right now, no matter how physically strong I was, I was the weak link. I have barely been through enough battles to even rival a normal adventurer while I haven't refined my techniques with the sword or magic. My movements were wasted, while my use of magic was mana wasteful too, not like I had any left though.

Lunging towards the man's neck, a battle of my life was about to begin, where life and death were bordering each other so thinly that once could pass through without even realising it. My first real fight, with my own true strength...

BADUMP

BADUMP

BADUMP

The only sound I could here within my ears were the sounds of my excited heart, fantasizing for more adrenaline, excitement and thrill. Yet it wasn't the only thing pulsing. My mana heart has started to pulse and so had my mana heart, all in sync and at the same rhythm, all screaming at me for a single thing.

"BLOOD!"
