Chapter 247 (2/2)
‘No I can break the black spikes but even then, it’ll take some time to make it to where the portal was buried’
As I cursed underand— Sylvie, Tess, Madam Astera, and Nyphia out of here
If I shot out a spell powerful enough to clear the forest of black spikes, I would also destroy the teleportation gate, but I also couldn’t just wait for more Alacryans—perhaps even a retainer or scythe—to coate out
Suddenly, a blast of black fire exploded into view from the crater where Elijah was
With a hand clad in frostfire, I parried the sphere of hellfire, only for it to hit and bring down an entire building nearby The fire ate away at the structure, growing bigger until everything was consumed
Elijah walked out of the crater, unhar what his first words to me were
The corner of Elijah’s lips curled into a sneer “You’re s comfortably in this world have made you soft”
Elijah lifted his hands, but before his spell could th of his face
Weaponless, I swungfrom the speed of my punch Another black spike jutted out to protect Elijah’s face frothe force of h the daht on Elijah’s jaw
<hr>
The sound of crashi+ng thunder resounded from the iround
“You’re not Elijah so I’ to ask this one more time Who the hell are you?”
Elijah stood back up froround His jaw had been shattered and one but as a sh his face, the injuries he had sustained were recovering
Of course he has regenerative abilities, I thought, gri froh the black spike
My frustration grew as I saw scores of Alacryan soldiers rushi+ng towards us froht hundreds of soldiers as well as Elijah
“Arthur!” Tessia’s voice echoed fro towards me
“Stay back!” I roared, my voice coated with an otherworldly power as Realer I released an arc of lightning at Elijah before he could fully recover, trying to keep hi out
‘Elijah won’t kill Tessia,’ Sylvie stated ‘He could’ve killed her multiple times before we arrived but he didn’t’
There are et her out of here!
As if a burning rod pressed down on er exploded
‘No! Whysituations on your own?! I aopher to escort your princess to safety’
Sylvie, I pleaded I couldn’t let either of theether, and get out of this together,’ she said resolutely, her uneasiness leaking through
Giving up, I shi+fted aze to Madam Astera A deep crimson aura encased her sword as she and Nyphia slowly but surely began hacking down the hundreds of black spikes that stood in the way between us and the teleportation gate
damn it, Sylvie Fine, you and Tess keep the Alacryans away from us
‘Good plan’ My bond sent hly equal in terer physically, but he was ic that Uto was able to use, alongside an even more powerful black fire—the same as that scythe who killed Elder Buhnd
And while it wasn’t appropriate, I was ad out about who Grey was after this
Shaking away my concerns, I dashed towards Elijah Close friend or not, I needed to stop hi me approach, Elijah conjured another rally of obsidian spears and fired theht Elijah’s control over the black spikes and the speed at which they were forer since h ed the spears with minimal movement before a wave of black fire shot out fro to wastethe hellfire head on, I leapt over it
Mid-ju at the edge of the crater ere in Golden lights flashed froreen whirled and whipped in a blur
Co fine despite the overwhelainst the for raer like hiained fro different attributes together to for colors With a burst of blue fire, aided by wind h the air in streaks of light like multicolored lasers
Three were blocked by the black spikes but one grazed his leg and another hit hih his li up, I dashed toward Elijah, frost accu around my arm
“You’re not a match for me in this world, Grey,” Elijah stated as he jumped backwards and conjured a thin layer of smoke
With Realmheart active, I could tell that this spell was siht, as able to conjure and manipulate deadly toxins and poisons
“Don’t let that gas touch you!” Tess shouted froether and shot forth like a serpent striking at its prey
Skidding to a stop, I used the ice-attunedcrescent-shaped blade of white fire tore free fro a trail of frost in its path
The spell sliced through the snake-like spell, freezing it The icy crescent nicked Elijah in the shoulder Even as the effects spread, freezing his left arm, Elijah thrust out a palround around ed to avoid One had pierced through razedburn radiating from my wounds
Meanwhile, Elijah’s arh it, were both healing

I looked for an opening to use Static Void once more—I needed to end this quick—but Elijah seemed to be conscious of my abilities He had positioned spikes around hie without hi able to react His black fire directly countered a lot of my spells while his spikes were able to conduct and redirect
His weakness was confrontational coa th
I have to assume that our mana pool is around the saht soon, I needto for sensation resonated froon will
