Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 214 - Chaotic

Chapter 214: Chaotic

The countdown finally reached its last hour and the period where the most chaotic battle would reveal itself finally arrived. As the game almost reached its end, the battle zone had been reduced and the previously 20 kilometers diameter area had now turned into 2 kilometers in radius only.

If one could look at the battle zone from the sky, they could notice that 2 kilometers in radius wasn't that big. It only reached around the outskirts of the center building, just a bit further in the treeline.

Various deafening and ear-splitting sounds could be heard within the area as spells met each other, wherever one looked there were explosions of fire and weapons clashing with each other.

Silva and her two half-blood teammates, who already made their 'flashy' entrance into the battlefield, swiftly made their move. The two half-blood acolytes, whose figures appeared to be the result of a transformation of a mythical goat bloodline, stomped the ground and darted forward.

The two of them charged towards Roran and his 30 regulars at breakneck speed.? The look in their expressions was as if they were at an all-you-can-eat feast. Truly bloodthirsty.

Naturally, Roran and his lackeys immediately dispersed, as they saw the two massive figures coming at them. Some of them would choose getting 1,000 points by killing regular acolytes in Emery or Anas' team, rather than take their chances with the half-blood freaks.

Not wanting to be less showy than Silva, Klea swiftly flew up to the air and began casting her best tier 4 magic, [Storm Haze].

This spell was the fruit of her last few days training in the Destiny Path's Institute of Destruction. [Storm Haze] was a tier 4? lightning element spell that needed both wind and water element affinity to master. The perfect spells for Klea triple affinities. If being casted successfully, it would form thunderclouds at its user's command.

Immediately, right as Klea finished her chant, explosive thunder resounded in the air, while the sky suddenly turned bleak. In the blink of an eye, storm clouds formed in the air and sent multiple thunderbolts on the location where Roran's team gathered.

As a result of Klea's spell, several acolytes were lightly and severely injured by the sudden thunderbolts coming from above them, two of the regular acolytes even turned into light particles.

A few acolytes tried to jump and reach Klea to stop her. However, a volley of bullets fired by Zaiueo's firearm quickly stopped their endeavor. The battle was so chaotic each minute an acolyte would be killed and dissipated into particles.

As Emery's group was in the middle of the battlefield, they were the best target for the opponent to earn points. Moreover, most of them sustained some kind of wound and they were surrounded on all sides.

All of a sudden, a raging flame came from the left side of Emery's group. The attack was so abrupt that Dopa, who was standing at the left side, didn't have the time to react and as a result, the flame successfully engulfed the wounded Dopa and turned him into ashes.

Thrax, who noticed the flame still coming to the group, immediately dashed to the left side and slammed his shield into the ground. The flame hit the shield, causing it to scatter to the side before dissipating completely.

However, before Thrax could let a sigh of relief, another raging flame rapidly came towards him. A loud boom issued as the blazing flame crashed into Thrax's shield. Even though his shield managed to block it, the flame also managed to melt the shield down, leaving it unusable.

When he saw that the shield basically couldn't be used again, the elite fire acolyte, who threw such a powerful spell, was about to send another one at Thrax. Alas, he was rammed by the half-blood giant and thrown several meters away. When his body hit the ground, it quickly dispersed.

On the other hand, half a dozen enemy acolytes, both elites and regulars, were attacking the half-bloods with their own ways. Some of them unceasingly threw various long-range spells at them, while the others attacked them up-close. Unfortunately, their efforts seemed to be unable to stop them from rampaging through the battlefield.

Silva herself didn't remain still. She sneakily went where most of the enemy acolytes were and immediately casted her own unique spell, [Poison Spore]. Numerous translucent small bubbles materialized in the air and drifted towards the acolytes. The sudden appearance of an unknown bubble startled those who saw them. Some even tried to destroy the bubble using their weapons.

Unfortunately for them, the bubbles that were hit immediately popped and released poisonous gas, making those who inhaled it immediately throw up blood. Alas, before they could even take a step, the bubbles exploded themselves and quickly enveloped the area they were in. The spell caused a few acolytes to drop to the ground due to excessive blood loss.

Meanwhile, Emery dashed toward the kneeling and heavily wounded Julian. When he reached him, he immediately casted [Blink] and teleported with Julian in his arms. Emery laid Julian on the ground in the middle of the group.

With Julian in the middle, Emery, Chumo, and Thrax created a triangle and put their back against each other as they blocked all the incoming spells from all sides.

As the battle in the center raged on, a notification appeared on everyone's symbol. However, those who were still fighting decisively ignored it as a slight carelessness in the battle could cost them victory.

At this last chaotic hour, the acolytes generally divided into three categories.

First, the acolytes who felt they had gathered quite a lot of points and didn't want to risk it by joining the chaotic battle. Therefore, they chose to stay in hiding and wait until the game was over.

Second, those who were worried about not having enough points even if they managed to enter the last fifty, like Roran and Anas' team, who would choose to participate in the final battle. Some of their members had less than 10,000 points, a few of them even only had 2,000 and 3,000 points.

Last, the acolytes who already felt they had enough points, but were still confident to join the battle or just came for the thrill of battle. These kind of people were the half-bloods brought by Silva plus the figure who just came crashing down from the sky like a fallen meteor.

"Violet Flame Gerri is here! I am not late, am I?" Gerri said, while throwing several purple fireballs to the place where the most acolytes were.

As the chaotic battle went on, Emery, Thrax and Chumo were caught in a pinch because they didn't have any good defensive skill like the one owned by Julian. Therefore, they could die anytime if they weren't careful.

Emery noticed the metal acolyte he previously fought and the sword-wielding acolyte were looking in his direction. Both of them swiftly charged towards him.

Thrax who also noticed the approaching acolytes decided to cast his last hidden trump card. After all, he couldn't hold himself at such a critical time. The trump card was the only tier 3 fire element spell he painfully learnt, the one he spent several days on.

[Fire Aura]

A cloak made by fire swiftly encompassed Thrax's body, as it gave him a substantial boost of strength and speed. He then directly confronted the broad sword wielding acolyte with only his spear. Thanks to the spell, Thrax could hold his ground against the rank 7 elites. It quickly became a fierce battle of sword versus spear.

As for the acolyte metal acolyte, as Emery was still currently healing Julian, Chumo stepped in.

While he ran, Chumo casted his tier 4 spell, which was a summon spell, [Summon Night Raven]. As the summoning pattern materialized, a night-black bird one third the size of a human came out of it.

The raven immediately flew at breakneck speed and lunged towards the metal acolyte. As the raven hit the acolyte, each of its strikes would inflict a curse on the acolyte and weaken him. The spot where the Raven hit became the weak spot.

Swiiishh!!

Chumo's arrow was able to half pierced the metal body. With the help of the raven, coupled with his [Shadow Self] and [Shadow Step] skill, Chumo was able to make the metal acolytes panic.

In the meantime, Emery became the last stand of defense, as he had the best movement spell. He casted [Nature Blessing] on Julian and casted [Shadow Root Binding] to help Chumo and Thrax whenever they were cornered.

With both hands casting spells. Emery could only helplessly watch as Okoye and her teammates were defeated one by one.

After Okoye's team and Dopa's were out of the game, there were only 5 of them left standing in the center surrounded. Hence, the situation became worse as more acolytes charged towards them.
