Grey had been fighting with the two beasts on his own. Although he was slightly struggling, he was in no way overwhelmed and that was when he was wacked away by one of the beast. Slowly standing up, he could see a short man in front of the beasts without showing any ounce of fear. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then the short man asked Grey to handle one of the beasts on his own while he handled the other one. "I will gladly do that." Grey smiled as one of his hand erupted in flames up till his elbow while the second hand was now covered with his Earth gauntlet that now had a sharp spike protruding out of it. "What!?! What type of strange power is that?" The man mumbled quietly. Then without warning, the two beasts split up and bolted towards the two humans who were ready for a clash. The beast that was still in a good condition was the one that bolted towards Grey who readied himself. And when the beast was close, he quickly used 'Aerius' again to swerve to the side. Then he shot out a fireball towards the beast but it had avoided it using its Earth armour only scorching it black again. 'Darn that armour! Just let me get my hand on it, I will make the beast pay.' He thought as a plan formed in his head and instead of waiting for the beast, Grey boosted himself using wind magic and he flew towards the beast. The beast seeing Grey heading its way, stood on its hind legs opened its mouth and shot out dozens of Earth shards towards the flying Grey. "Darn it! It can use elemental abilities!" Grey shouted as he narrowly avoided one of the shard but then more were heading his way. Avoiding another one, Grey lifted his hand and blew others his way using his wind magic then the remaining three heading his way, he quickly reshaped the Earth gauntlet in his hand to form some sort of a mini shield. The shards crashed into his mini Earth shield but not counting the force, it threw Grey from the air as he plummeted into the ground with a huge force that uprooted the grasses beneath his feet. Standing up slowly, Grey could be seen bleeding from his head as he had landed with his face. 'Of course it could use elemental magic looking at its Earth armour. So I'm guessing this is a level 3 beast then.' He thought as he coughed out a speck of blood from his mouth. 'But it's Earth magic is stronger than the other level 3 beast I had fought with which means if I were to absorb the core, my affinity in Earth magic would increase exponentially.' Grey smiled as he could see the beast charging at him with its tusks pointed outwardly. "So how about I stop playing around and get serious then!" He shouted as he lifted his hands forward and pointed it like a rifle. Then waiting for the beast to get close, he smiled. "Let's put the spells I learnt to good use then." "Explomb!" Grey shouted as a huge fireball left his hand and headed towards the beast at breakneck speed then it crashed into it and huge explosion erupted. With flames and heat spread everywhere to the extent the short man felt it and he looked up at where Grey was fighting. "That strange power is quite strong, I need to study him better after this fight." The man said as he narrowly avoided the paw of the beast and swiftly sliced the paw off with his sword then he exploded towards the beast and sliced the other paw off throwing the beast off balance. Being defenceless, the beast had no other option than to shoot out dozens of shards towards the man who quickly clapped his hands together and a helmet appeared on his head shielding him from the shards. Leaping from where he was, the short man was heading towards the beast at tremendous speed and in a second, he crashed into the beast and used his sword to slice its head off cleanly. "Phew! That was a job well done." He smiled and turned towards Grey who was still engaged in a fight with his own beast. After using the spell 'explomb', Grey knew that it wouldn't be enough to kill the beast as the beast was seen moving through the smoke heading towards Grey. Without wasting time, he cast 'Aerius' twice to push the beast further back. And then his gauntlet turned into a long spike in his hand and in a split second, the spike was coated in fire from head to toe making it burn bright. "I wish I could create an Earth pillar. But this will have to do for now and I hope your core will be enough to let me increase my affinity enough to do that!" Grey shouted as he threw the spike with as much strength as he could muster. "That took up all my mana. If it doesn't hit, then I'm done for." Grey mumbled as he lifted his hand to cast one last spell with his remaining mana. "Aerius!" He shouted as a huge burst of wind hit the spike in its bottom propelling it forward faster than before. In a split second, the spear crashed into the beast's head while the fire surrounding the spike melted its head allowing the spike to go through easily like a hot knife cutting through butter. The spike crashed into the beast's head and came out the other end totally burning a hole through its head. The beast fell down with a thud while Grey was also seen falling in exhaustion but before he could hit the ground, he was caught by the short man. ________________ For more updates on MS or future works, please remember to follow me on my social media accounts below.
