"Mini magic beasts' tide?" Sean repeated and rolled his eyes. "I think it's more appropriate to say that a small group of magic beasts coming over. There are only around 30 or so magic beasts coming."
"Did you count it?" Sophia asked curiously as she released Akira, her lightning bird, to let it rest on her shoulder.
"Well, the number is more or less that many," Stephen said as he also looked at the distance. The corner of his mouth curled up. "Let me control their movements."
"What?"
"I am the woods, the pillar of growth. Let the wood grow even more vigorously and entangle the enemy in front of me, tangled roots."
Before these magic beasts could come closer to them, roots grew up from the grounds and grabbed their legs. Despite their small size, these roots were extremely strong and these magic beasts were unable to move forward.
But Stephen's mana was limited, so he couldn't deal with so many magic beasts all at once.
Only a few magic beasts at the forefront that was affected.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
What followed was series of gunshots from Stephen who used the gun that Riya gave to him. This gun has become his main weapon.
"Be careful that you will run out of use," Ruben complained and then started chanting, "I am the devourer of the darkness. May the darkness come forth and halt the movement of my enemies, dark swamp trap!"
Swoosh!
Dark swamp spread out and the second line of the magic beasts were trapped one after another, unable to move forward.
The methods of trapping was different but the result was similar.
"Akira!" Sophia yelled.
Bzzt! Peng! Bang! Bang!
One after another, these magic beasts were killed by the lightning strike from Akira.
"Only half are left," Stephen said as he looked at the magic beasts that came over while the dark swamp slowly disappeared.
These roots and the swamps were the product of magic and could only come to the being through the use of mana. When the mana's supply was cut off, they would disappear.
"My turn," Sophia said and started to chant, "I am the woods, the pillar of growth. Let the wood grow even more vigorously and entangle the enemy in front of me, tangled roots."
Once again, the roots came out and tangled these magic beasts.
Swish! Slash! Slash!
This time, it was Sean who came forward and killed these magic beasts with his sword. The fire element coated his sword, leaving out scorched magic beasts' corpses.
"Done!" Sean yelled.
"The last few can be given to others," Stephen said and then chanted, "I'm the woods, the pillar of growth. Let the wood grow in front of me and protect me tightly, wood wall!"
A wall of wood appeared in front of them, blocking these magic beasts from coming any closer.
Sean, who was at the forefront, almost got hit by the wall and yelled, "Hey! Pay attention to where you use your magic!"
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot you're there."
"Pfft hahaha!"
